idk if it’s my voice actress for the play or what but why does joan of arc sound so evil in this omg 😭🙏 it’s hot but like… i feel like a teenage god-sent saint would contradict a man calling her “devil or devils dam” and “witch” but she doesn’t say a word in reply to that…

you wouldn’t think it but really by the third scene you can actually tell that this isn’t pure shakespeare bc there is some wit lacking to the words… either this is outside influence or him not yet being the master he would eventually become but it doesn’t hit quite like it should

oh my god. we start off with THE FUNERAL OF HENRY V??? MY BABY HENRY V??? damn it all

we’re finally doing this, motherfuckers. we are fucking doing this. i have taken my notes. i have written down the family trees and battles by year. i have re-realised that charles vii was waging war against his toddler nephew with the help of a teenage joan of arc. Get Into History Now.

im aware that bill et al were writing this during elizabethan times and could hardly make seem favourable the guy her grandfather stole the crown from (yes, i say stole, im a yorkist, henry v was the last good lancastrian king)
HOWEVER, i would defend richard iii in a court of law and of heart and if bill et al write him as disloyal or powerhungry i will one star this & the sequels, mark my words. i don’t play.
