Over-rated |
There’s always a contrarian. |
It took you this loooong to see it?
It's been looong ago, and nobody talk about it anymore. |
You’re several years late to the party, OP |
Thanks for sharing. Here’s a cookie. 🍪 |
Well, duh. I knew that when it came out. |
Agreed. Even though you are late to the party, I think it's always worth pointing out that it's very overrated because many people still don't see it.
Guess what, LMM is actually a mediocre talent. |
Jelly. |
OP here. I don’t agree that LMM is “mediocre,” but my criticism of him is that…we get it. You don’t have to tell us and tell us and then tell us again with just slightly different points and beats. I loved “Moana” because each song was different and had a purpose and moved the story forward. “Hamilton” and “The Heights” are both repetitive and self-indulgent. |
I'd say Lin-Manuel Miranda was exceptionally talented with his vision, collaborations, and clever music and lyrics, all of which came together with astonishing speed to become the phenomenon of Hamilton. But nothing he did before or after has come close. That's why I agree with the hype of Hamilton, but do not agree with the hype of Lin-Manuel. |
To each his own. I hate Hamilton. I have no opinion on Miranda himself. |
UMC white people absolutely *love* a chance to salivate over POC bringing their flair to a place where it was unexpected.
Hamilton. Banksy. Serena Williams. Ironic chicken and waffles for brunch at the Four Seasons. I see you. “I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom!” |
Oh, shut up and let people enjoy things. It’s OK if other people like things you don’t like. The urge to make other people “see” that they shouldn’t be enjoying what you yourself do not enjoy is an ugly one indeed. |
Wow, OP. What a cutting-edge critic you are.
Let us know when you think "Gone With the Wind" is a snooze. |
OP here. I like the overall concept and tone, the problem is the repetition and the unnecessary extraneous details. It’s a good concept, it’s just the same hammer hits the same nail far too many times. |
