Thank you for illustrating the problem ;) I'm muting you, but questions for you to consider -- who are you to decide who deserves to suffer? As an American, do you believe YOU and YOUR family deserve to suffer the same violence and mass-murder we've inflicted on the world, and receive no sympathy?

*and keep on throwing scandalous musical numbers

COBRA MY LOVE MY LIGHT MY HEART

So you MAY AS BLOODY WELL have some BLOODY COMPASSION because the way you treat your fellow human being is one of the few things in life that you actually have complete power over.

Here is the truth: sometimes horrible things happen to (or are done to!!) people who are completely powerless to prevent them. You are not an exception. No amount of sneering, finger-wagging, and blowing up children in foreign countries will make you an exception.

“American citizens trapped in Lebanon should have left sooner!” “People in North Carolina shouldn’t have voted Republican!” “She shouldn’t have worn that!” “That guy shot by the police shouldn’t have—” “Those people being bombed by Israel shouldn’t have—” You are SO DESPERATE to blame victims.

I will totally provide a full listing and analysis; I could talk about this show for a decade 😂 But might take me a bit.

Also because “What has become of the heart of that man / now that the man is king?” is the best line in the epics.

Epic III got UK lyrics and I STRONGLY disagree with this change because we already established how lonely and jealous he is when Persephone leaves and what we didn’t establish is his paranoid desperation to hold onto his wealth, which is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT for understanding his ultimate choice.

…wait no the end of Epiphany is A Little Priest, I must have meant My Friends, how sleepy was I when I wrote this? Mostly I just imagine That Person saying That Line and then a big sweeping ominous musical skreeeeeeeeeeee as the camera zooms out.
