Been seeing a lot of negative reviews about Imagine Me here but I personally loved it, so to bring some positivity into the tag here are (a lot, sorry) of things i loved about Imagine Me
(spoilers, but that is a given)
- That whole entire fight scene at the beginning, literally the most intense moment in the whole series
- Warner begging his father to take him instead of Juliette because he cares more about her freedom than he does about his own life
- Anderson declining his offer because even though he doesn’t really care for him he doesn’t want that future for his son
- Warner finally snapping at Omega people for being bad friends and abandoning Juliette (and him (but mostly Juliette))
- Seeing the more ruthless side of Warner, I mean this was obviously sad to see but we finally got to see that people weren’t exaggerating about him
*side note but I don’t consider this a “regression” from his part, Warner was never fully the good guy just as he was never fully the bad guy, he exists in a gray area and just does what he needs to do, we got to see his more gentle side with Juliette because he allowed that side of him to show but with Juliette gone that part of him wasn’t useful (in his mind) anymore. He allowed himself to be happy for a little while and that was immediately ripped away from him so it only makes sense that he acted the way he did. His characterization is so unique and complex and I will literally never shut up about it
- Anderson having compassion, something he never had for his own sons, & trying to save Juliette at the end, but only because she was useful and obedient to him
- The fact the the whole series was build up on the idea of Anderson being super smart and stuff and seeing that the other Supremes thought he was a fucking idiot
- Ibrahim being the one to shoot Anderson / seeing them turn against each other to maintain power
- Warner spending days covered in blood and dirt and then showering and putting a suit on to go save Juliette
- Warner thinking that Juliette was already gone but trying to rescue her anyway because that was the only thing he could do
- Kenji going OFF on everyone and anyone that said that Juliette wasn’t going to make it / that they would be better if they killed her
- Brendan and Winston finally getting together
- Winston getting Kenji drunk by putting whiskey on his tea
- Juliette coming full circle with her skin powers; saying that she would never use them to hurt anyone ever again and her holding up that promise until the very end to kill Emmaline because it wasn’t to hurt her but to free her from her pain
- Juliette struggling with her goddess, being curious, and going against orders despite being brainwashed and being under control
- Every Kenji/Nazeera interaction
- Warner telling James that he didn’t tell him they were brothers because he didn’t want to scare him off
- Emmaline feeling safe in Juliette’s mind and to some extent getting to spend her final moments with her
- Warner literally stabbing Anderson with a MACHETE
- Like this man tried to kill his father so many times for what he did to him and never could but the moment Juliette’s life was in danger he did not hesitate to try and kill him
- The people of 241 basically falling in love with Warner after he saved the day
- Kenji and Warner’s little bonding moment when Warner tells Kenji that he proposed to Juliette and Kenji finally understanding why he was so devastated
- Warner calling Kenji a clown and that he should seek help
- Kenji telling Nazeera that Juliette and Warner were engaged just to annoy Warner
- That whole Warner & Juliette scene just UGH the FLAVOR
- I had been secretly hoping for a Warner/Juliette showdown since the beginning and I can’t believe I finally got it
- “She’s going to kill you” “that’s fine”
- “She’s really going to kill you” “then I’ll die”
- Nazeera being shocked and hurt seeing her father dead despite her knowing it would happen/kinda wanting it to happen
- Warner taking his coat off while “fighting” Juliette and folding it over a chair, literally the smallest detail but his mannerisms are just so interesting to me
- Juliette unconsciously recognizing Warner’s traits in Anderson
- Juliette being SO CLOSE to killing Warner but stopping cause she couldn’t believe how beautiful he was and her literally thinking Warner was fake and that it had to be a test because he was too good looking to be real
- “Where did they make you?” “So you are in there”
- This whole scene is so good because it’s unlike Warner to do something so reckless and you can just feel his desperation at not knowing what else to do to get her back and Juliette thinking that she has to kill him but being unable to resist when he kisses her and her trying so hard to hold back her emotions, thoughts and memories but her love for him being literally so strong that it snaps her out of the control just UGH
- “Here,” he whispers, pressing my hands to his heart. “Home”
- Emmaline fucking obliterating Max
- Warner being unable to hold back his inner fashionista and saying the new wedding dress was ugly
- Warner being embarrassed at feeling too much when seeing Juliette in her corset and being literally paralyzed (in a good way) at the thought of them getting married
- Warner having to restrain Juliette from grabbing a plunger
- Juliette being excited at fixing stuff, learning how to use tools
- Juliette reclaiming her name to not give the ghost of Anderson any power over her
- Warner being the only one to call Juliette Ella the way she’s the only one to call Warner Aaron
- Kenji destroying the wedding dress
- The dog!!!! They have a freaking dog!!!
- Juliette being upset that she can’t talk to the citizens cause they almost trampled her cause they were so grateful
- Those same people throwing babies at her and trying to cut a piece of her hair off
- Warner’s, who has struggled with depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts, final words (and the last words on a series full of pain and loss for every character) being of happiness at the mere sound of Juliette’s laughter
Feel free to add any :)
