Tudor Era - Blog Posts

I LOATHE how The Tudors (2007-2010) portrayed women. All women. The objectifiation and hypersexuality was disgusting, they were shown as overly emotional beings (not living souls) and every single one of them left room for vilanization while almost all men --evil or not--had their redemption arc and manipulated the audience emotionally to love all of them (even the rapists, the hypocrites; the greedy; the abusers).

Anyways, the actresses were beautiful, breath-takingly gorgeous actually. I love the six wives ⁎⋆๛✵ and I believe that Henry VIII has a special place in hell.

How to tell if you are in Henry VIII's court:-

There is...

Henry VIII (back away slowly)

his wife, who deserves better (statistically it'll be Katherine of Aragon, but whichever one it is, she deserves better)

one or more hyper-competent arseholes called Thomas (who also frankly deserve better than what happens to them, but they are still arseholes, and they are all called Thomas)

depending on the year, there may also be the Duke of Norfolk in the middle of totally selling out one of his nieces

and finally Spanish ambassador Eustace Chapuys, being extremely snarky in all of his letters

On the upside, depending on the year there may be some absolutely banging music, but is it worth it? No.
