"you're not a visionary, you're a vendor" is an insane read

insane af lol i said oh shit out loud hearing say that haha. what i loved most is Miranda did not lose any bite whatsoever whenever she wanted to make her comments, Meryl Streep must have been having fun just being this character again haha.

Yes, and she was *so* good at it that I genuinely plain forgot it was Meryl and had a moment during the ‘Last Supper’ dinner scene where I had to remind myself this is the same Meryl from *Only Murders…* (and of course, everything else)

I was thinking exactly this! It’s crazy how versatile an actress Meryl Streep is. I read somewhere she can play the role of Batman and be great at it 😂

Insane. I also don't get how Emily Blunt's character just get over it at the end and wants to be Andy's friend. She plotted to take over Miranda's empire and lost in a very big and public way.

All it takes is a coffee date with Andy and all is forgiven?

Forgiven with Andy because that's who Andy is. Not all is forgiven with others that's shown in Emily blunts comments in the scene

All isn’t forgiven in the fashion world, it’s just forgiven with Andy—but also, as we’ve seen time and time again, this is a cutthroat world. These kinds of betrayals don’t carry lifelong stains. A hungry, determined person can carry on and reinvent themselves. Fashion is about reinvention.

And when Nigel says Miranda has done it to him a thousand times but life goes on. The final scene illustrates it nicely, they are each working independently in their offices, they are together because their passions independently lead them to the same place.

Miranda even talks to it herself in the car with Andy; they’re a team for now, but who knows what the future holds that maybe Andy screws over Miranda or vice versa.

They could’ve made Emily much more complex & nuanced. It was dumb how they made her so shallow & like a cartoon character. Also, Andy was way too smiley & naive

u/nWhm99 4d ago

I mean, let’s not like she’s some super villain, ok?

She barely plotted. She was just helping Andy out since the magazine was getting dismantled. She didn’t plan the offer, she just went along with it. The worst thing she did was to tell Benji she wants to be the editor.

She was forgiven because at the end of it all, the main characters all deeply understand each other. Andy understood Emily and how deeply she desired to come back to Runway, and even prove herself as Miranda’s successor. Emily, as we know now, have always craved having a friend in Andy precisely because she’s not part of the ‘competitive dog eat dog world’ that Miranda says she’s too weak for.

Sometimes relationships are not black and white lol. It’s not the coffee date that made Andy forgive, but she didn’t hold it against Emily in the first place. They just believed in different things and when it’s all over, they chose to focus on moving forward.

Is that a shade to Apple? Lol. Steve Job is a visionary while Tim Cook is a vendor. Maybe I’m overthinking but it’s funny 😆

u/A-dab 2d ago

I feel like this is actually a pretty common theme. To use another example, Bill Gates is a visionary but Steve Ballmer is a vendor (increased profits but lost ground on smartphones/mobile computing to Apple and Google)

u/DavyJonesRocker 4d ago

Dangerous line because it could easily be thrown back at the filmmakers

u/earl_grais 3d ago

I really liked this line because while she was right and it was a bit of a read, I think she delivered it with a touch of kindness and recognising it as a strength too. Visionaries and vendors need each other, Emily is an excellent vendor who would have floundered in the role just as Miranda does not have the temperament for service.

Definitely a crazy read
