CapnAndy posted:Dude that's not really a sustainable bar for "not a monster" when applied to wealthy politicians of the eighteenth century. At least Jefferson was also a raping hypocritical fuckstick who invented the smear campaign and died broke because he thought actually paying for poo poo was something that happened to the common folk and not a gentleman like himself. Alexander Hamilton’s response to revolution veterans asking to be represented in the creation of taxes, ie what Hamilton said the war was about in the first place, was to convince Washington to get the current army to shoot at them until they shut up or died. Hamilton is a monster outside his possible ownership and definite dealership of other human beings.

We’re talking about a dude who is literally on record as saying democracy is a travesty and the people as a whole an untenable great beast that must be restricted by the elite.

Critics are full of poo poo, that's why Holy Terror (widely panned by critics) was a better comic than Ms. Marvel (beloved by critics) This is a very productive hot take, like how Trump (low approval rating) is better than Get Out (high Rotten Tomato score) Source: a comic book that is literally worse than cancer, based on what The Critics say

In a void where no one (other than to his credit, CapnAndy I guess?) has articulated an opinion on Lost or the Leftovers there's an element of "well a lot of people seem to like it" which lends more credence to an argument than I Haven't Seen Vanderpump Rules And Don't Know What It's About But It Must loving Rule Right Guys

Mine might have been their Simpsons appearance where they sing for Mr. Burns's birthday. But I suspect I heard I Wanna Be Sedated on alternative radio (between Creed and other horrendous alternative bands) before that.

Maybe I missed the wrong thinkpieces but I feel like most of the people going nuts for Hamilton are doing so because they think Lin-Manuel Miranda (and Leslie Odom and Daveed Diggs and Phillipa Soo and etc.) are talented and entertaining and not because they believe that Alexander Hamilton is a living saint. I haven't seen it or that many Broadway shows in general, but was there a revulsive "LOOK AT THESE FUCKIN' CENTRIST CUCKS CREAMING THEIR JEANS OVER [Eva Peron/Lyndon Johnson/John Wilkes Booth/Mormon Missionaries/The King of Siam/Frankie Valli]" when plays based on them got a bunch of Tonys? I fully believe there is a strain of awful op-eds about how Hamilton would have the right idea about vaping or cryptocurrency but as someone who lives in New York and has been subject to people in the grips of Hamiltonmania for a few years now, I've never heard anyone walk away from it declaring that Bernie Sanders should have been more like Alexander Hamilton or that they wish they could vote for Hamilton/bell hooks in 2020 or whatever I guess elitist liberal bourgeois millennials are doing in between snorting xanax mixed with artisinal foraged jianbing.

People say Ultimate Spider-Man is good, but Ultimate Spider-Man isn't very good. I didn't finish it, maybe it gets really good, but from what I saw it was just a depressing slog that speeds through less interesting versions of Spider-Man stuff. I gave up sometime after Carnage killed Gwen Stacy, because goddamn. Gwen Stacy had to die because Gwen Stacy is dead in real life, so they just kill her and it's gross and then Peter Parker is very sad because being Spider-Man has brought nothing but suffering and misery to himself and everyone around him.

I think my first Ramones might have been watching the video for the song they did for the movie Pet Sematary. I believe the chorus goes “I don’t wanna be buried/In a pet sematary”.
