Wicked/Brooklyn and the Nastiness

I hate to make this post, but recently I have been very annoyed.

It seems that many people are posting things to belittle Wicked, knowing that the majority of the posters will back them.

I am not saying it is a perfect show - far from it. I am not saying to leave it alone like the normal "OMG I LUV WICKED" fans. I am saying this from the point that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I think we get the idea that most people, here, don't care for Wicked.

It is just plain annoying to see all these posts that rip apart the dumbest things of a show. For example, the rhyming thread. There's no reason why "bad rhyming" has to be related to Wicked. No one seems to make a strecth and find other shows with A LOT WORSE rhymes than "few at ease" and "ambiguities."

Now, I have not seen Brooklyn (I am interested in seeing it because it is a Broadway show and would like to form my own opinion on it - if you know what shows I do and don't like you would know I don't care what other people think).

Anyway, I think it is enough with the belittling of Brooklyn. We get it - no one likes it but a small few. On the other hand, making thousands of posts just to argue that a show is good - NOT helping.

Normally I wouldn't care if someone wants to say a show "sucks" or is "terrible." Lately, it has been getting way out of hand - to the point where arguements are no longer good natured.

Two more things, I am not saying anything because someone personally attacked me (frankly, I wouldn't care). I am speaking soley in generalities.

Second, and lastely, if you want to call me a hypocrite for starting this thread - go ahead, it means you didn't fully understand this post. This post is to say that the so-called "dissing" of shows and posters has spirled out of control to the point where nothing of value is discussed.

Well, I thought I would just add that in - food for thought next time you want to post.

I don't hate Wicked, nor do I bash anyone.

But the constant barrage of Wicked/Brooklyn sh!t really annyos me...


PLEASE, learn to spell. Learn synonyms for amazing, and turn off caps. If you do this, and offer something intelligent, you will find a much nicer reception...

*steps off own soap box*

AND stop making things so difficult for the valued Wicked-appreciaters, like Bso, LittleFish, #1Elphie, SallyBrown, Ellie etc etc. The crazy Wicklyns give posters like these a bad name...

Thankfully, I don't have that problem, Ellie.

Thank you, Bso!
And can I just say, Paradox_error, that I completely agree with your thread about the Britney in Wicked thread. I was sitting there dumbfounded that people actually believed that. It was so obvious that mr. tuttle or whoever was just doing that to get people riled up.

I love that you just said "Wicklyns".

Dude, we're getting married.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
