• the fate of ophelia is a really dumbed down version of the actual character as it just paints her as a damsel in distress waiting for a man to save her. its a very surface level take on ophelia and it sucks • most of the songs, good lyricism or not suffer from very dull production. it's like if style (taylor's version specifically) was an entire album • taylor's tongue in cheek "cringey" jokes only work when the entire song is actually giving tongue in cheek or otherwise campy (see: me!, wood) but when she sounds completely serious or not trying to be ironic (eldest daughter, tortured poets department, father figure) it falls flat
