Am I the only one who is pissed off by the "love" story between Edward and Elizabeth? Second interaction between each other he tries to rape her, she only got away because she pulled a knife. Next scene she is telling her mom how she regrets not sleeping with him..... then they get married and he appears MADDLY in love with her and her with him. Then jump some time her father and brother are murdered and Edward literally does nothing to avenge them and she seems mad about it but also not at all. Just lets that go and is maddly in love still. I'm like okaaayyy. Then jump some years and she see him sleeping with another woman there is no scene of them talking or yelling about it. She just gives death glares to the girl when she see her in public. Then jump some time and Edward and Elizabeth are in bed and she flippantly brings it up and he's like omg lol that's why you're mad at me? Girl you knew I would never be faithful to you before we got married but trust me I love YOU and no one else so just be okay with it. And no joke she nods her head and smiles and they just don't talk about it again and he's off sleeping with women while she's literally giving birth to their like 8th child. Which by the way him saying you knew I wouldn't be faithful is crazy because that was never shown until a few scenes ago. They never mentioned or showed him eyeing anyone else. He seemed wholeheartedly in love with Elizabeth. From the show perspective that was shocking he all of a sudden wasn't faithful. And for her to accept it so easily was weird from a character perspective because she is a very opinionated and strong women. I get for the times and the positions of these characters these scenarios made sense but from the way the show was shot and edited it felt so disjointed and left me confused. Like am I supposed to like this couple? They make no sense. Edward is toxic as hell and she doesn't seem to care but she is normal with any other toxicity from others. Idk it left a sour taste in my mouth.
There are so many other little things that bothered me as well all pointing to bad writing or the director cut out scenes that caused holes. I was left confused a lot of the time because of this. Also not to mention just random director choices. Like for example Elizabeth has 10 children. And she's had like 4 brith scenes by now and all of a sudden they show a pretty graphic one shot between the legs with the baby head coming out. I was like the heck no warning? Haha like why did we change it up so suddenly? Also can I point out how quick Elizabeth is having sex after giving birth. There was a specific scene after the graphic baby birth they didn't give a timeline but I don't think it was anywhere near 6 weeks (which is the current suggested time before having sex after birth) it felt like days after birth. (Again maybe bad directing not showing timing passing well) but Dear god I felt pain just watching that sex scene hahaha.
Anyways my issues come down to bad directing. Time passing wasn't clear, character intensions did not make scene, characters knew info that was never shown, relationships were all over the place. Idk it felt disjoined and I wasn't impressed.
