Your writing is absolutely gorgeous. I loved the characterizations and the fact that you managed to write an Emma who was complex in just a few paragraphs when the movie couldn't do it over 120 minutes. I loved the ending line about Raven and I hated that they blurred it so much in the movie that it seemed like her following Erik instead of going her own way and having it just match Erik's. I think I probably have a complaint about the disservice done to every single female character in the movie, although Emma and Angel got the biggest brunt of bad writing, but you did a fascinating job of portraying all four women while still having them be the people we saw. Lovely work.
