No matter, nobody is forcing me to see the show, and it's certainly a well-writen musical. I just don't love it, and that's okay. That's why we all have opinions.
Anyone else have a problem with the ending of Into the woods? Its pretty morally disgusting — Page 5

Fantod,
Don't even bother listening to what people are trying to tell you, because what they are trying to tell you isn't worth a damn.
It all boils down to this.
Fairy tales with happy endings make people happy.
They don't want people to be happy, so they sabotaged the fairy tales.

Fantod,
The show has something better than a happy ending: it has a real life ending.

In what world is a real life ending better than a happy one? Would you rather see a Sound of Music where the Von-Trapps are captured by Nazis? Or a Hello, Dolly! where Dolly dies alone?

If you want a happy ending or life to be fair, wow - are you in the wrong universe. Remember the tag line is "Be careful what you wish for." Everything you get in life has a price, innocence doesn't last long, and all the survivors do is the best they can after all the good and bad is done. I love Sondheim, and INTO THE WOODS is all about how everyone grows up, some good and some not. If you think it is so awful, don't see it.

Psst.......
Fairy tales are not real life.
Nor are they supposed to be.

You said you were blocking me.

Pathetic.

I don't understand the resistance to a show that makes you reflect and think.
You don't have to like ITW, you don't even have to agree with its message, but to dismiss because it doesn't have a happy ending?
I don't even know what to say to that.

My phone doesn't work well with this website. I did block you and I was very peaceful.
And now you're back you sad, sad decrepit man.

Hey tazber, if you were talking to me, while I don't like that ITW doesn't have a happy ending, my main reason for disliking the show (I don't hate it, I just don't like it) is that the ending isn't happy or sad, it's just depressing and a weird off-tone way to end the show. It just isn't satisfying theatrically. I actually enjoy the first act, and though the music is nothing I would listen to at home, it doesn't bother me in the theatre.

So, ya know, this whole wise beyond your years thing you work so hard to present… just let it go. Of COURSE you only liked the first act of Into the Woods. That's why they released Into the Woods, Jr., for your demographic.

Namo, I'm not "wise beyond my years", I'm rust reasonably well-educated for my age and am familiar with a lot of different aspects of art. I explained relatively well why I don't like Into the Woods, especially the ending, and I think that should be enough for you to respect my opinion. If ever I suddenly think that the ending of Into the Woods is amazing, believe me, you will be the first to know. Until then, I am smart enough to know what I like and what I don't. Merry Christmas.

See, just a little correction there. I don't have to respect your opinion. I have to respect your right to have one. Your opinion reveals your immaturity and shows that your palate is not as sophisticated as you would like everyone to think it is. You'll grow up. Your tastes will evolve. It gets better.

Fine, then respect my right to have an opinion. My opinions aren't going to change just because you insult me.
And tell me, do all opinions have to be the same as your own in order for you to respect them? Are all mature human beings fans of Into the Woods? Some posters here have the maturity of 5-year-olds and love ITW to death.
And I already said that I don't hate Into the Woods. I think its an extremely well crafted musical that, to me, resolves in an unsatisfying manner.

No, but your opinions will probably change when you grow up. A process you have to go through. You can't fake it even if you think you're running with the big dogs.

Yes, they probably will. I don't know why you think I am so ego-centric, however, because I don't think I have said anything that implies that I think I am better than anyone else, and if I did, I didn't mean to. I also don't think that an opinion is invalid just because of how old you are, and even if it may change in fifty years or so, it's still my opinion for right now.
Also, why must you keep slipping in insults to your comments? I am perfectly capable of having a normal conversation with you, and if you're so much more mature than I am, why do you do it? It doesn't help anybody to put me down.
