divided, we fall.

I know her name being the first thing he says when he starts to come back is meaningful and all, but my favorite part of this scene was that when she realized that hitting his head made him come back a little she just hit him again harder.

YES EXACTLY. I have my problems with the way Black Widow was treated in the movie (she crouched and hid after Thor rescued her from Hulk for like half an hour…why???) but overall I did really enjoy her.

Smash Feelings (and spoilers)

singforfood:

This season of Glee has trained me how to notice the way shows present characters and how that presentation informs how we as the audience are supposed to feel about said characters.

Smash is about Karen. She is the emotional protagonist, and Ivy is the obstacle she must overcome. Karen is the underdog who is working her butt off to try and get her big break, and Ivy is the experienced, well connected chorus girl who seems to have just lucked into this whole process because she’s friends with the composer, is blonde, and has a huge rack.

Throughout the pilot and episode 2, Ivy’s audition work is almost never shown. We never see her hypothetical audition at the very beginning of the pilot (when she walks in the room after Karen’s “Over the Rainbow” is interrupted), and we never see her audition for Marilyn after Karen sings “Beautiful”. When she does sing, it’s in the soft, wispy Marilyn voice (which does no justice to Megan Hilty’s actual vocal abilities), while Karen is always in full voice. “Let Me Be Your Star” is Ivy’s one shot to really shine, and she DOES. She owns that number, because Megan Hilty is a more interesting performer than Katharine McPhee (which is why I suspect the show was so purposeful in leaving out Ivy’s auditions, lest we fall too in love with Megan).

In episode 2, we see Karen working her ass off at the dance training, practicing the steps at home, giving up on the important date with her boyfriend to do scene work, and then she has the whole “20 Century Fox” number. What does Ivy do?

**Spoiler Alert**

She reads one scene with Derek, cut to them sleeping together, cut to “Ivy got the part!”

What!? Where is all the work Ivy did? If this was an actual callback process, Ivy and Karen would be doing all the same songs, dances, and scenes. Ivy would have been learning and practicing all this new material while ALSO performing 6 days a week in a Broadway show. Talk about hard work!

BUT remember….this is Karen’s show. In order to make the audience sympathize with her, the show very purposefully left out all of Ivy’s work so that it could appear as though she only got the part because she’s friends with Tom and slept with Derek. Now Karen has been wronged, and every audience loves a story about an underdog overcoming the undeserving incumbent champion.

Come on, Smash, don’t start being all stupid like this. I’m breaking up with Glee soon, and I need a good rebound show!

A+++++ meta.

I was really interested when I saw the first preview, but Goddamn, I really can’t philosophically align myself with a show that asks me to believe Katharine Mcfuckin’Phee is decent competition for MEGAN HILTY on Broadway.
