javid is so good because when they meet, they have some strongly held beliefs about themselves and the world around them. they need each other (despite claiming not to) because they refuse to let the other stagnate, fleshing out and completing each other's character arcs. jack spends most of the movie trying to run away from himself and his loneliness and towards santa fe, david sees right through his lies and calls him out on it; david loosens up and starts to wholeheartedly believe that political change is worth pursuing because of jack's influence. deeply romantic to me that their relationship is one that demands change, from the world around them, but also themselves
i love the broadway version as much as the next person but why steal that poor guys cowboy hat, and his rope, and his bandanna, and his horse, and his santa fe dance break, and make him some almost grown up respectable ish sort of normal (allegadely) straight guy
the difference between 1992 vs broadway jack visiting crutchie in the refuge is so funny bc broadway jack goes up the fire escape, sure, but what do you MEAN 1992 jack got lowered down to the window from the roof with a rope
THE END!! I can't believe I finally completed this. When I first started this comic, I had no idea that it would end up being this long. A little over 3 years and over 200 parts, so around 2000 panels. (My folder that holds all my files relating to this comic is 3 GB with 2,017 items....). I honestly can't believe that I managed to stick around to the end of this. Thank you all so much for the support, I never imagined that so many people would care about this comic when I started it!
Of course, there are still some loose threads. The kwamis and Nathalie for example, but the core of this series has always been about the emotional conflict between Marinette and Adrien, and that has been resolved. I have some epilogue ideas to cover those loose ends, but this comic has already taken so much of my time and I'm not sure I want to promise that I'll get around to it. ... But who knows. Maybe!
For now, Adrien and Marinette will get some long-deserved rest.
