Oooh I hope it’s part of a series!

"One random upset every few years is better than a bunch of normal games" a much better argument than "Sure the games suck but a lot of games suck".

The Scots did fight a war over that. But they lost

Critics were especially mad that Trump didn't set up a secret high school for gifted students aged 11+ that you got to by train and they were forced to reference their second favorite book series.

Play offensive line in the NFL forever?

This of course isn't true (the internet makes the finding of ideas incredibly easy and standard media has lost massive influence) but if they don't believe the above they have to accept people heard their ideas and rejected them.

There isn't a real audience for it, but the classic conservatives voices like to believe that the reasons things have generally trended away from their view in the populace (even Trump's supporters aren't small gov't) is because they haven't heard their points of view argued enough.

If the movie was remade today it likely have a more sensible "HOA head lady" as the neighbor, but in the late 80s it was either yuppies or the Ayatollah and that would have left bigger questions.

I also think the contrarian in me plays up here with the vibe from my generation being "oh if you get it, this is the best Christmas special" because god forbid you like Christmas for being, you know, Christmas

It's not something I need to watch every year, though I usually end up doing so.

So the end result for me is a mixed bag. It can be a dull drag with weak (though occasionally stylish) animation, stilted voice acting, and a threadbare "story" if you can call it that. But most of that is a lot more forgiveable at only a half-hour with a killer soundtrack.

Now, is the music absolutely spectacular? Yes. But I can hear the music anywhere

Do I enjoy we get the true "meanings" of Christmas when Linus drops the verse literally and then the little tree is made nice? Yes

Do I quote "All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share". Yes

Why do they live in the same neighborhood as Clark? Why aren’t they in a fancy Chicago apartment?
