[@lemsip207]

I like Miranda too for calling them out for only talking about men and sex. "It's like seventh grade with bank accounts" is a good quote. Relationships with other women have been modelled for us by the mainstream media since the Spice Girls to be like that and it is like taking us back to our teen years.

[@thesecondYouTube]

Spice girls was about putting female friendships first. That's what wannabe is about.

[@lemsip207]

It was but they were getting together to talk about men, sex and make up and go clothes shopping. Just be girly together. Anything else you were expected to get a man to do it with.

[@winterlynn9012]

@@lemsip207 It was like that waaay before the Spice girls that by the time the Spice girls came out i thought they were being satirical about it in their movie. But for as far back as I can remember women in movies and entertainment were always gabbing about men and relationships. Which is realistic to a certain extent but what i liked about SATC was the conversations these women did have about men and relationships were pretty relatable and realistic. Sure its a cliche and a stereotype but it's that way for a reason. Theres truth behind it just like a lot of men stereotypically talk about sports and cars. These portrayals have been going on since the dawn of time which isn't a bad thing especially when done right like in Sex and the city.

[@oooh19]

in 7th grade youre not an adult woman but IMO connections w/ others are important for anyone at any age. however, some people only want people to give to them w/out them also putting in some effort or even respect/love/care etc. you have to be accepting of differences. it's weird people just judge you based on what you like. like "why don't you like this show?" or "why do you wear your hair like that?" or "why do you listen to that musician?"

Carrie low key bullied Miranda a lot and Miranda's character was very ridiculised in the show. She was always painted as if she was too neurotic, too pessimistic, too coolhearted and "too" focused on work. Well, it turns out she was just a woman with a lot of intelligence, ability to think critically and personality.

[@nerolia_gaming8030]

That's my thoughts too. While filled with great lines, in the end of a day the show used every possible way to bully "the right way of things" and to promote & sell us "the worst way of things". That's why I hated the fact that it was so loved and followed by viewers. I watched the full series some time ago and my opinion was like "it's horrible!" The whole world got deluded.

[@Wander85942]

Rewatching the show, she was the one not living in a fantasy world at least as much as Carrie. I think that’s the real New York dream but goes further than that. She has career, financially secure, had a family and did it all at her own pace. She wasn’t stuck on a guy who only wanted her when neither were available, never shamed them and spoke the truth when necessary. She also knew buying designer brands on a slim salary wasn’t a smart financial decision

I would love one about Samantha too... she and Miranda were the best. But you can skip Charlotte, because it would take 10 seconds: Charlotte was a needy shallow girl who lived with one sole porpouse: to marry. She even quited her job and changed her religion to fit her guy at the moment... of course, the show tried to make us think that it was her desires... but we all know that it was not. It was to fit her boyfriends desires. I mean, c'mon, what person would quit a job he/she loves and where you already made a name for yourself, to stay at home being supported by your alpha male... I mean, really, it's almost disrespectful. Well, maybe 30 seconds.

Régis Eduardo Agreed Charlotte got on my bloody nerves. I hated her character so much I started to feel that about Kristen Stewart. Hahaha

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

'It's like seventh grade with bank accounts' Miranda nailed it with that quote as it perfectly describes being around immature adults. Miranda was assertive, independent, strong-minded and self-sufficient. Where as Carrie had the mentality of a high school kid, even in the two later SATC movies when the women were in their 40s, Carrie was still extremely childish, whiny, petty and needy ... I always understood why Big had reservations about marrying her.

I honestly think it's incredibly dumb that you guys are treating her as if she were a real person. SHE'S A CHARACTER! The flaws are what make it INTERESTING.

[@genzi78514]

​@@JLDReactions Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte are flawed. But they learn, face different struggles and grow up. M iranda learn to being a career woman and a family woman (as a mother, as a spouse, as someone living in Brooklyn...she even took care of her mother in law). Samantha, learnt to expose her vulnerabilities after she get freaking cancer at the same time she keeps an iron confidence all the time. And Charlotte reach her goals after being more open minded about how should be her "happily ever after" (after a divorce, dating an ugly man, after having a horrible wedding and adopting a child). What did Carrie do during six seasons, except causing problems to herself? The only reason she got a happy ending, was because the writers wanted to do it.

[@woowoowitchymom]

I agree!

[@AvecPoesie]

I felt the reasoning behind his cheating in the first movie was understandable 😔 even if it otherwise would have been out of character. Miranda had essentially abandoned him sexually. One can only take that for so long before resentment, built-up animosity, and desire from unmet needs take over and lead to a mistake. That story arc of them splitting up their marriage, attending counseling, then re-uniting on the bridge 🌉 so romantically was touching. That incredible sex they had when they found love for each other again had people in the theater cheering and applauding in their seats when I went to see it! I will never forget!

Mamãe, sou cult the show also premiered on the brink of the new millennium, and probably people weren’t used to women with strong personalities. I’m 20 and a lot of TV shows and movies I have watched portrayed women to be innocent, impressionable, and naive . The fourth wave of feminism was also starting so in order to avoid controversy and just gain perspective in general women of multiple personalities were included. I feel as time went on we just got more used to and ended up being able to relate more to the Miranda’s of the world. ☺️

[@winterlynn9012]

@@beckyy584 No the late 70s early 80s started showing women as strong sexual beings. Sharon Stone, Madonna and many others who were sexually open, strong confident women were very popular by the early 90s..and the best part is they weren't necessarily labeled as feminists. The doe eyed innocent naive woman relying on a man was outdated by the 1980s. Nowadays women are too extreme with the feminist bullshit. I grew up in the 80s and 90s seeing strong sexually confident females and I believe Sex and the city would have fit in on tv during the 80s/90s as that was how women were being portrayed. However unlike today they weren't extreme feminists. Nowadays the feminists have gotten out of control. At least in the 80s/90s there was a balance.

[@beckyy584]

I know what you mean with the looks, I never got why she attracted so many men? when she's by far the ugliest of the group

[@pinklalajo]

Holly Louise because attraction isn't solely based on looks, and even though physical appearance is a big part of attraction (but not the only part) everyone has different tastes. Carrie is not classically beautiful like the other women on the show but she is beautiful in her own way. In fact some people will see it as the other three women being more common and plain and Carrie being the unique beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She is cute, flirty, charming, quirky, witty, holds herself well, all of these things can be what attracts someone as well. Even something as simple as her height or hair could be what attracts a man. Some men like short and tiny women to feel protective of. Some men only think a women is beautiful with certain hair and not other styles. Having said all that, if I was a man, I could never be attracted to Carrie based off her personality alone. She is too needy, clingy, insecure, and emotional and financially unstable. The other women are all much better options personality wise. Physically? I think they are all beautiful in their own individual ways.

@@M-WG I hated that moment. Miranda was a successful career woman who made tons more money than her husband, why should she be the caretaker?

[@AvecPoesie]

That moment touches me differently now. For some time in recent years, I have been my Mother's caregiver. She is afflicted with worsening Dementia and Parkinson's Disease. That moment, bathing 🛁 Steve's Mother, was so much about empathy and compassion. It was beautiful to see the usually tough-as-nails Miranda soften into a more loving, caring version of herself. As to why Steve wasn't doing it...probably for the same reason my brother has never lifted a finger to assist our Mother. Some people cave under the overwhelming nature of caregiving and don't do anything...out of fear, laziness, you name it. Caregiving often falls to women. When I had to be hospitalized, my Mother had to stay at my brother's home and it was his wife that did everything for our Mother! Some Men are fairly useless 🙄 😒 😕 when it comes to such endeavors.

You watched one episode but felt the need to come to a sex and the city related KZbin video and comment? Right.. you've only seen one episode.

[@glewglew9852]

@Personal Jesus I didn't like friends either based on 1 even 5 random episodes over the years. But when I actually properly started really watching the show I loved it. Same goes for many other series that I gave a proper chance.

[@CarolinaMillan]

Great job girls!! Do Samantha!!

[@robw7676]

Everyone has done Samantha

[@kameshiam1674]

​@@robw7676🤭

[@blakeallen3429]

Miranda was the voice of reason! The other girls were definitely what you day dreamed about being, but Miranda; she could see things for what they were! Love when she read Carrie to filth, for going back to Big! Plus, her style- classic and timeless!

[@kimaya4503]

omg wow I hope u guys do Samantha she's my personal Fave! loved this.

[@peonylee4773]

Kimaya Fields yessssss

[@daillestlady]

I've always said Miranda was my favorite and I could identify with her the most because she was most relatable. I love that she didn't dress "fashionable" like the other ladies because she focused so much on her career; she doesn't have time for that because of major decisions she makes in her job. I like that ScreenPrism did this!!

[@terry9238]

Although they could have made Miranda’s clothes somewhat more flattering-and still practical. The styling for all four women was hideous throughout the franchise; and the garish costumes of Carrie, Charlotte, and Samantha were no more becoming than were Miranda’s outfits. Each character was badly dressed in a different way.

[@spj4you]

Another brilliant review. I've always been too much a Carrie in my 20s but want to be more of a Miranda in my 30s (ESP the buying a Manhattan apt. lol)

[@alnsubuga]

I'm in my 40's and Miranda was always my favourite character in SATC. Definitely a great role model while I was in uni and growing into my adult self.

[@gabriellafrantz7486]

Carrie is the worst

[@maggie5990]

Carrie and Charlotte are the worst. Yet everyone wants to be them

[@bloodtypena]

I dont, I really dont like Carrie

[@RegisEduardo.s]

Maggie Auzenne Ikr... in one hand you have two amazing independent women who clearly known who they are and what they want (Miranda and Sam), and on the other hand you have two girls who need a man to define who they are (Carrie and Charlotte)... and for some reason the first two are the ones everybody judges the most (Sam for her sexuality and Miranda, well, for being Miranda) and the last two are the role models everybody wants to be? I MEAN... C'MON.

[@yasminplata]

Yes she is needy

[@Cocolocohermoso]

Régis Eduardo Yes! Exactly.

[@rudyspective1870]

Miranda was the character I related to because she's more realistic than the rest of the characters. Team Miranda all the way!!

[@Hessai]

This channel is the best thing I've found on KZbin. On the spot every. single. time. Amazing. Thanks for existing ♥

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

Miranda in the new reboot seems like a complete opposite.

[@Applepopess]

Amazing! Miranda was always my favourite character, so I'm all about this praise! ❤️

[@outinsider]

This listed all the reasons I like Miranda. Thanks for honoring her this way. It's a shame, the two times I took quizzes about which character I would be, I always wind up as either Carrie or Samantha. I'll take Samantha, but I'd rather be Miranda.

[@kats.5958]

I've never quite understood why Miranda was the only one for the most part considered as the 'financially independent one'. All 4 of them had higher paying jobs and lived in quite large amounts of excess. They were all rich on their own.

[@lindawang5649]

My ideal would be Miranda’s career, Samantha’s confidence, and Charlotte’s closet. I never really resonated with Carrie.

[@katherinechase3674]

I liked Carries boho closet best :)

[@CiaoDella]

Thank you so much for this content! Could you please continue analyzing some other S&the city character?

[@stars.are.blind_955]

Miranda and Samantha were my favorites, sometimes Charlotte, but never Carrie.

[@clautastic9186]

Great analysis! I love the escapism of the show, the emotional moments and Carrie's amazing looks. I admire Samantha and Miranda a lot because they are so badass, but I like all the characters. I want to watch a rerun of the show and see the good and the bad things.

[@Crazygurl1211]

Miranda has always been my favorite by far. She's the most relatable. Carrie is annoying and self-involved, and Charlotte and Samantha are both basically just caricatures on opposite ends of the spectrum. She's witty, smart, strong, and funny. And she does truly care about everyone in her life. She doesn't sugarcoat things but instead tells people what she really thinks, and that's her way of showing that she cares. She kicked Steve's ass into getting a real doctor when he had prostate cancer, and she told him flat out "NO" when he wanted to get a fake ball that hadn't been proven safe yet.

[@elisepatterson7869]

YES. I have always seen myself as a miranda. Even my bad traits

[@queenzebra8219]

Gotta love the timing at 4:33 when she says that they see men… and shows the sailors- otherwise known as seamen! It had to of been an intentional pun. ABSOLUTE GOLD! 🤣

[@victorrodrigueesoficial]

As a proud and open gay men, I have something to say... I ADORE THIS VIDEO! I'M A MIRANTHA! (Miranda and Samantha!) hahahahah kidding, but I really think that Cynthia Nixon was amazing as Miranda and I feel so proud of her achievement as the only down to earth character of "Sex in the City"... Love your VIDEO, ladies! ❤ greetings from Brazil!

[@deanlock2986]

Love your channel, the only analysis channel worth coming back to. That being said, you make a lot of videos about the 90's shows Seinfeld spun off. I wish you guys would analyze the show that originated the metropolitan group of pals.

[@christinala8763]

Why am I obsessed with this channel? I haven’t seen many of the shows they have talked about yet here I am

[@j.m.9796]

Miranda was always my favorite out of the four characters! She was career driven, independent, realistic, and when she knew what she wanted she went for it without doubt!

[@isabeltfriasg]

I always like her, because she is the only one who's existen seems real. She has a job, a kid a husband and family. Carrie, charlotte and samantha when through a lot of things, engagements, break out of the engagement, marriages, divorces, marital problems, conception struggles, cancer, moving out of the country, miscarriage, changing religion, adoption. etc... and no one from their families ever comes up, are Carrie, charlotte and samantha orphans?

[@Nirrini]

Isabel Frias Just wanted to add that Charlotte’s brother did make an appearance in one ep. But yI agree, it was odd that we never saw Carrie or Samantha’s relatives.

[@jhimbeere]

It was supposed to show only the girls and not the family’s. In this show friends were portrayed as the counting family

[@msmarks1130]

Miranda to me was the best. She had the best character as proof when she gave Steve's Mom a bath, she wasn't too snobby to leave Manhattan and move to Brooklyn unlike the rest of them. She loved men but didn't revolve her life around them and she was good with her finances not to mention very honest.

[@ginger8900]

I love Miranda and I love that everyone commenting loves her :D. Really cool that you mentioned how similar perspectives Miranda and Samantha have! There are scenes on the show that would have proven that fact even better but anyway...

[@lifebyjo3999]

Omg love Miranda and just the whole show in general. I know you guys are probably going to do Charlotte, Samantha and Carrie next and I just can’t wait. I took the test twice and got Carrie. It would be interesting to see a video essay on her so I can understand why. I don’t care what critics say, this show was the bees knees.

[@robertpolanco1973]

@Jo the Great - Very good comment. By the way, it's CARRIE.

[@forkhole]

Jo the Great If someone asks me which satc character I am I say I want to be like miranda but I'm probably a charlotte

[@LeWildSister]

I feel like a charlotte/carrie but i've always gotten miranda in those quizes.

[@livalittle13]

Miranda and Samantha were always my favorite... Miranda has true confidence, meaning she knows her worth and value (not based on her looks) but based on her ability to overcome obsticles in life...

[@adynaaaaaaaaaa]

One of my favorite scenes in the whole series is when Steve after finding out that Miranda is pregnant proposes to her, and Miranda just yells “ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?” 😂😂 what a badass!

[@samanthalake5011]

LOL!!! Yes! At least he didn't say, "ARE YOU SURE IT'S MINE?!"🤣🤣

[@ameliasmith4292]

Samantha is the elite, we should all aspire! She’s so strong minded, non conformist too and liberated

[@1rockcrawford]

I’m screaming. The Take updated the graphic to say “…in 2018.” Because NO ONE is Team Miranda in IJLT 😂😂

[@acfarob69]

I have loved Miranda Hobbs from the jump. All time favourite character on SATC.

[@KayGirl216]

I’ve always been dubbed a Miranda and when I was younger it didn’t seem like a compliment but as I’ve grown older I really appreciate that people would liken me to her. Great video as always.

[@Aster_Risk]

Thank you for making this. I always enjoy your videos, but this is by far my favorite. I love, love, love Miranda. I was 12 when I started watching this show, and she was kind of a role model for me. I even had a little pin that I used wear that said I'm a Miranda.

[@katerinachlmi6312]

I was always team Miranda!

[@Herberth889]

Completely in love with your channel and I just discovered this whole Patreon thing, I decided to become a supporter. Keep this up guys :)

[@thetake]

Thank you Herberth! Glad you're liking our videos

[@Terinka14]

my friends used to say i was a miranda when we watched satc together... finally i started to appreciate it a couple years back :D

[@roronzoro9795]

Terinka14 you should, in this day and age, the Miranda’s of the world are the ones that go far. Don’t become like Carrie or Charlotte

[@tasminxiule]

I get so excited when you post! A nice break from dissertation work. Pls cover Desperate Housewives, becus...Desperate Housewives. Love from the sheep land Wales

[@Alexandra.Chris.]

Please do one for each of the girls (and guys!)

[@monikazbrardr2056]

Miranda has been my favorite ever since. Funny, successfull, ambitious beautiful inside and outside in her own way - but with a sharp tongue and selfesteem. Great role model back then and today.

[@UnicornAndri]

I love your videos, I'm so happy that you made one about Sex and the city!!! I'd love to see videos about the other girls too!! ❤❤❤

[@BabyMonster141]

Man does this no longer hold up in the remake

[@momfoldinglaundry9963]

The remake is a crime.

[@colindunnigan8621]

Hmm, as somene who really, REALLY disliked the whole idea behind S&tC, kudos for an interesting analysis.

[@jiwon0924]

what a good analysis with good explanation and good editing!

[@quarantinedcosmonaut4082]

That was my favorite line! "I have a child, the jig is up." 😂

[@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254]

For all the wearers of adult braces I know and knew: Like with college, it's never too late to start on something that would improve your life significantly. My Mom had adult braces when I was in high school.

[@ForeverSunny3]

I love this video, because I think that Miranda was very ahead of her times and when this series came out she was not as appreciated as she is now. I love her because she is the time of woman I want to be (having a career and family, and not feeling the need to make choices to make other people happy). :D

[@iozmai]

i’ve always adored miranda. her wit, charm, and beauty are absolutely bewitching to me.

[@cherrybomb921]

Miranda may not be the most sensitive one, but she's made better decisions than some of the other girls. But we still gotta live our lives and make our own mistakes. Team Miranda

[@carolbrebbel]

Wow YES! You hit the nail on the head... This is by far my favorite show ever, and I had never thought about that. Thanks a lot ♥️

[@MJQueenForever]

Miranda WAS the better, more realistic til they ruined her in AJLT.

[@ideasmithy]

I came across your channel recently and enjoyed the video I saw. Today this one popped up on the suggestions and I found myself nodding through every second of it. The cherry on the cake was discovering that the channel is run by two women. I'm part of a creative two-women duo too. It's really, really great to see another female collaboration and one that's doing such good work. Keep roaring, ladies.

[@arunasaren5408]

Samantha next plz!

[@sammymcfone8281]

Emma A didn't she spend like 20 seasons bonking a thousand guys waiting for some asshole that couldn't be arsed with her?

[@sammymcfone8281]

Nope I got that wrong it was Carrie... ba dum tchssss.

[@evanhimebaugh5434]

Samantha is a great character, my personal favorite from the show. I’d love to see an analysis of her if possible

[@arunasaren5408]

I like her as well. She is very true to herself which many of us are scared of in real life

[@evanhimebaugh5434]

Emma A to me the quintessential Samantha moment is at the end of the SATC movie. She loves jerrod but isn’t willing to sacrifice herself for anyone and very honestly tells him that she needs to do what makes her happiest. It’s almost profound for a character so often dismissed as “shallow” or even worse “a whore.”

[@sarahcook6323]

Again, you have perfectly articulated my feelings about a character. Thank you ScreenPrism!

[@amaneciamosiameses]

LOVED THIS!

[@robertpolanco1973]

Personally, as a BIG FAN of "Sex and the City," I am impressed with this video about the character of "Miranda Hobbes." About everything she has been described makes her human and unique and I adore her. As for the actress who played her, Cynthia Nixon, I admit to having a crush on her, but I am happy that she is married to her significant other these days.

[@chicabeatlerock]

Samantha is my favorite one, please make a video about her :D Love your channel ❤

[@AirQuotes]

I like her personality but my God her fashion choices 90% of the time were disgusting

[@moonlily1]

I think her clothes were the least fantasy based and the most like real clothes. Carrie and Samantha's clothes were high concept yet sometimes ridiculous or downright hideous. Like the matching rainbow tunic, leggings, and fucking TURBAN ensemble she wore in the comic book store scene. Whereas Charlotte's clothing choices were perfectly tasteful but cookie-cutter.

[@RegisEduardo.s]

Are you kidding me? Carrie looked like a clow almost every episode. What about her fashion senses???

[@julieerin115]

At the beginning of the series, she looked pretty frumpy with those pant suits/overalls, but she got better looking when she grew her hair out a little and softened up her look. In fact, her later outfits are probably my favorite out of the four. People usually like Charlotte's outfits, but I find them a little too prissy for my taste.

[@prinspray]

Helloo, her outfit choices was the best among them all. She even could rock short hair nicely. Couldn't imagine of any casts able to rock that look.

[@prinspray]

moonlily1 i agree about Miranda but not about Carrie. That day at comic store, said a a lot about what fashion is really about.
