What Should Recorded Musicals Do?

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://defector.com/what-should-recorded-musicals-do

嘎嘎嘎嘎地折返跑跑得不快动静不小 Feb 10

桑写故事真是环环相扣。初看好像是Frank渣男背弃理想抛弃朋友，但到达这个境地似乎每个人都推过他一把：游船之前Mary鼓励他growing up；Beth劝他为了她写大热剧；Joe不用提，一直是商业化推手；最始终如一的Charlie，他面对成功的欣喜若狂也足以推动Frank追求更大更稳固的成功。这真的是很美妙的一点，从Frank视角，他真的是为了所有在意的人才变成那样的，结局却是推开了所有在意的人。
但归根结底责任还是在他身上。曾经在后台豪言壮语“（这部失败）我们再写一部”的年轻人后来却无法面对失败的恐惧，在一次次选择中踏上了平坦之路，众叛亲离终究是他自己造的孽。后悔去吧。

The conversation continues...

Frank: We got evicted because our music annoyed our neighbors.

Joanne: It's the neighbors you annoy together children you destroy together that keep marriage intact.

Frank: So...if I destroy a child, I can keep my marriage together? Good to know! If I get married I'll make sure to do that.

Frank Shepard: We'll be singing it like the birds,
Me with music and you the words

Johanna Barker: Wait, what kind of bird? A green finch? A linnet bird? A nightingale? A blackbird? A ringdove? A robinet?

Frank: Uh, I don't know all the different kinds of birds. A lark maybe?

Johanna: Oh, well then you better make sure not to become trapped, or you won't be able to sing. Larks never will you know, when they're captive.

Charley Kringas: Yeah, we better not get trapped in some exploitative contract with a big Hollywood studio.

but I still want to text a bunch of guys (okay, some chicks too) and tell them I wish I could give them a hug right now regardless 🥺

I’ve gotten so chaotic in the past week or two #HeatedRivalry or month or two #MerrilyWeRollAlong

I don’t think there’s any other way to describe what I’m going through - between #HeatedRivalry (thru ep 4) and #MerrilyWeRollAlong - but:

serious
existential
crisis

So Mary falls in love with Frank and can’t find anyone else? She’s just going to be a martyr while Charley and Beth keep popping out kids? #NeverLookBack #MerrilyWeRollAlong #AllTheThingsSheSaid #HeatedMerrily

What kinds of songs have you seen used in fanedits of #HeatedRivalry ? I’m not a sufficient user of T*k T*k and keep getting spoilers since I’m now only last episode 3. #MerrilyWeRollAlong #OurTime #MeAndYouKidMeAndYou
