really, the biggest failure of Hamilton as a work is that it's a hip-hop retelling of early american history without a single song that involves Benjamin Frankin, the original american fuckman

this is no poo poo a thing that miranda's on record regretting, he had Franklin's song with Adams and Jefferson in France sketched out, gimmick was that as the Elder Rebel Franklin was going to be Fat Elvis

but you do that and you need to flesh out John Adams, and you do that you need to flesh out the quasi-war, and suddenly the show is four hours long

he was a diehard royalist until he got probed by the royal society for his crimes in trying to backseat mod

yeah. he basically got called in over some bullshit in the colonies, (i think it was something to do with the french Indian war) and basically got screamed at and dressed down for hours and then was let go. he hated them after that.

adams is giant thin skinned prick who was petty as gently caress but i prefer him over jefferson. jefferson was just a weird but gifted goon who was a massive hypocrite about pretty much everything who jerked off to the idea of super agrarian perpetual revolution society and was also a rapist.
