YES..... Elektra may say some things harshly, but damn she's so fucking real {I love her so much}. Beside her remarks about herself; I feel everything she speaks to her kids is to teach and all of it comes with a hidden layer of love; I think she protects her heart that way, {as if she can, maybe just a little.

[@MsLJK85]

1:03 The character establishing moment introducing Angel as she connects with the Ancient Egyptian face with this delicate gesture of reverence and yearning-- reaching out and then grasping her hand to her heart like she wanted to embody its essence. This was great acting.

[@ocstrangest2615]

so eloquent and perfectly written comment. captured exactly as intended. She is stunning and precious.

[@sophieplumbob2900]

Same goes with Elektra. She looks at the statue of the pharaoh and she sees a reflection of herself. She knows that she’s royalty!

[@MsLJK85]

@@sophieplumbob2900 I like that one too, it looks like she's squaring off against him, or arranging her posture to mimic him

[@mwv1217]

It was the same thing when Elektra looked at the other piece of art as well. They probably wanted moments that were relatable. When you go to a museum and see yourself in the artworks. The moment where Blanca mocks the statue is a signifier of how young, immature, and naive she was as well as when Angel is screaming while running its something realistic that someone of that time would do.

[@youngwizardboy7]

I've loved Ryan Murphy's shows for years but Pose (and this opening scene in particular) might be the best thing he has ever helped create! 10s across the booooaaaarrrdddd!!

[@eduardochavacano]

but GLEE at some point just became CORNY and the GLEE PROJECT really made GLEE a show for morons and has tarnished ryan murphy's name. BUT POSE gave back his credibility.

[@LuisRodriguez-ig5qx]

I think this show is also his best. I just hope it doesn't get the way Glee and AHS got. Firsts seasons were masterpieces and then he lost interest or something like that and he screwed it up.

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

@@eduardochavacano All of his shows are good, but Pose feels the most real. 9-1-1 feels a little over the top and AHS has went down hill in terms of writing. I don't like the way he handled some things on Glee but he's still a good writer.

Pose, AHS:Hotel, and Scream Queens 1 (not the 2) are my favorite works of him 😍😍😍😍
