Adaptation decay has sucked the meaning out of “A Christmas Carol”

The user is losing a fight against the format; this post is an absolute chore to read.

The author account is such a spot-on display of the SJW stereotype that I'm not sure this post isn't a joke.

How I wish this was presented in blog post form instead

Why do people continue to use Twitter for long form dialogue like this?

A few chained tweets maybe, but this looks to be 10s of tweets with Twitter's UI sticking in between every few sentences. It makes nearly and lengthy discussion unreadable

Writer skips over a dozen or more adaptations that present the original version with the same brutal depictions of poverty and wealth. They seem a little too thirsty for a contrarian anti-capitalist view and should have spent more time actually doing comparative analysis. Instead, this slog of a twitter thread is a weird takedown of the 1999 version as if the 20 year-old Patrick Stewart movie was all the buzz this Christmas season. This is what Twitter is for, so more power to them I guess. However, I found it to be annoyingly strident in it's presentation of an already very mainstream view -- namely that some Christmas movies are too sentimental and saccharine.
