Ha.  No, OP.  It isn't only you.  Many people agree with you, they're just shouted down by the Hamilton-heads who can't bear any criticism.[/quote]

I was also underwhelmed by Hamilton. Among other things it totally fails the Bechdel test.

I did not know LMM wrote that Bruno song - but when I heard it for the first time this weekend I found it really boring. I thought In The Heights was ok?

I don't object to anyone finding him a genius, or inspiring, or anything at all - and clearly he is very successful and moves a lot of people. I guess I'm just the turd in the punch bowl (again!).[/quote]

The Bechdel test doesn't really make sense for fictionalized history. I don't think we can blame LMM for the fact that women weren't in the room where it happened.[/quote]

I mean, this wasn't a documentary that only included shots from certain scenes. It was fictionalized storytelling that included several women, whose entire storylines were about serving their men. They had no agency or characterization outside of their interactions with men. You could 100000% have the women with SOME interests or conversations outside of the men.[/quote]
