    This is the inherent fantasy of the whole musical artform (and its predecessor in opera), that you can make anyone sympathetic by translating their emotions into music, letting you peek inside their soul The whole format of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is making fun of thishttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1266180198501883904 …

    The thing about Dear Evan Hansen that strikes me is that, like Hamilton, the medium itself manipulates your opinion about a horrible person by exploiting the fact that beautiful singing has an inherent inescapable charisma Imagine if DEH were a comic illustrated by Robert Crumb https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1266149420489256960 …

        Which is why someone who's sensitive to and resistant to that kind of manipulation ends up becoming, well, a guy who doesn't like musicals

        That said, one of the things that does fascinate me about DEH is that he's extremely charismatic *in-universe* when he gets the chance to be

        This irony that when he's trying to be an honest decent person he's a tongue-tied nervous wreck but when the lies start he's suddenly a silver tongued orator (and we never actually get to see the "real" speeches his songs represent)

        It's kind of weird and perhaps a little telling that I was first exposed to Dear Evan Hansen by an animatic setting the songs to characters from a Villain Protagonist comic.

        I don’t think it’s just singing. Our society has a real problem with not being able to separate morality from whether a character is likeable or the protagonist or the “hero”. It’s how we end up idolizing Barney Stinson or The Punisher or anyone in Game of Thrones.

        I was talking to someone about whether The Punisher is a “hero”. From a strict literary criticism standpoint, you can argue he is. But he’s decidedly evil. And it’s really easy to not realize those are two separate conversations.
