Misha Collins took a commanding lead early in Reader voting and never looked back. He takes the title this month with an astonishing 87% of the votes. Like him, his Gotham Knights castmate, Keegan took firm control of 2nd early with Edebiri making a quick claim on 3rd. Exceptional acting is so much more than just saying the words on the page, and in “Night of the Owls” (Ep. 113) of Gotham Knights, Misha Collins gives a stellar performance in just a few short scenes.
As the captured Harvey Dent we see his vulnerable side as Collins’ character tries to match wits with his captor, and later as he desperately tries to make amends to and reason with his also captured daughter. It’s clear in his eyes and in his emotional pleas that the last thing he wants to do is bring the other side of himself out. He knows the consequences of what happens if he does. Finally, he realizes the only way to save his daughter and the city is to let his evil side out.
That is when a truly masterful transformation takes place, illustrated not just verbally by the deepening timbre of his voice, but physically as well as his whole poster and demeanor changes making him an imposing character despite him being tied to a chair. Harvey Dent sacrificed himself to save others, the other guy’s motivation is pure self-preservation even after his face is marred by acid. At that moment Collins and Dent become the physical and emotional personification of the iconic DC villain Two-Face.
It is a genuine shame the show has been canceled before viewers could witness the additional depth he surely would have given this character. Misha Collins is Spoiler TV’s June Reader’s Choice Performer of the Month.
i don’t give a FUCK what an actor has to say about their show or the relationships their character has because fiction is in the hands of the audience and we can make it whatever we want!!!!!!!!! (this does not apply to cw actor misha collins who has risked life and limb to type Cas is gay. on the final night of pride three years after the finale of supernatural. cw actor misha collins is my best friend long live gay castiel)
I’ve never been able to peel back the layers of a character quite like this before. I’ll miss you, Two-Face— and even more, I’ll miss working with the incredible #CWGothamKnights cast & crew.
If you missed it, you can catch the whole season on The CW, Amazon Prime, Apple TV or other places (depending on where you live).
One of the issues we are facing now, given that venture capital is no longer fire hosing cash into social media networks (or at least not in the way it used to 10-15 years ago) is sites need to make money.
Having a tag that is affordable to say “I have services, they are available” helps fix that.
Independent creators have been able to create relatively gargantuan-sized audiences for very, very, very little money in comparison to pre-social media methods. Which is a good thing.
As we start hitting the brick wall of “networks need money” + “independent creators having access to cheap marketing is a good thing,” clever solutions need to exist.
This is one such and it’s great.
Sorting and filtering capabilities are undoubtedly not far behind and/or on some whiteboard somewhere.
This is immensely pleasing.
Hey, if this is real and any of my mutuals wants to get a badge for advertising purposes, hit me up. I’ll buy your badge for you.
A very, very gentle reminder that “prev tags” is now completely useless, bc you can no longer click back thru the reblog chain and see the prev tags. You can see the reblog in front of you, and you can find the original post - by itself, completely devoid of context - but you can’t click thru to the previous reblog. This is apparently intentional, since I literally emailed support about it - being able to click back thru the reblog chain and being able to see the source post in context on op’s blog are fundamental parts of the user experience imo and I am pissed - and their response was basically like yeah we meant to do that but if you want to talk about it you can go to our WIP blog, where the ask is literally only open one day a week and we will completely ignore you.
