i’m seeing quite a few people say that season 3’s buildup in eps 1-5 was useless and the ending was rushed and idk am i stupid for thinking the opposite?
the biggest thing young royals suffers from is its runtime; six ~50 min episodes is not enough to capture a cohesive arc for all of the main characters each season, but even with the lack of some things that should’ve happened i’ve still come to appreciate it more for the things that do happen. there are so many shows out there with longer runtimes that don’t even deliver half of the plot and character development that this show does. or maybe i’m just being a ‘blind fan’.
i’ve stood by my opinions—and by no means do i think the show is perfect—but now i’m starting to wonder if i’m foolish for being able to overlook a lot of the things people criticize. anyone get where i’m coming from?
Inspired by my own post , this is my love letter to Young Royals, in the form of an edit. This is probably my favorite edit I've ever made and I hope I did justice with my boys💜
The musical moments in the last episode? Broke me. How Simon incorporated all the earth-shattering things Wille said to him in his song. How loving someone does NOT have to be a revolution, because love is just, loving someone with all you have. How they changed each other for the better. How the choir sung Simon's song instead of the original Hillis song. A final breaking of traditions and expectations, and that too by a song about THE relationship which stands at the inception of this end. How the song encapsulated the feeling of that end for everyone. Simon being the voice of change.
