"His pretty eyes eugh." Lol for those who don't know, Alexander Hamilton is said to have STRIKING violet-blue eyes which is why people always talked about his eyes a lot. In fact, According to Fisher Ames, one of Hamilton’s friends, he wrote “His eyes were of a deep azure, eminently beautiful, without the slightest trace of hardness or severity, and beamed with higher expressions of intelligence and discernment than any others I saw oscillate in the “human face divine.”” Like got damn. Even people who DIDN'T love him romantically were like "WOOF" when it came to his eyes lol.
@@Nimelennar I mean, she is the female lead so it is a given that she'll have more lines in songs or more songs with her in it. Renée/Angelica rightfully deserves a song like this (in the canon of the musical at least, idrgaf about what happened irl with her aready being married and etc HAHA) since Angelica is such an empowering and interesting character on her own right. I personally think she should've gotten another solo song too and preferably, in the tune of Congratulations, just a different message. She definitely deserved one other solo song at least, she's TOO talented.
I’m actually really sad that a lot of his audience will leave once he’s finished hamilton. Social Stud is fast becoming one of my favourite youtube channels and I wish he got more recognition for his non-hamilton vids. Also I can’t get over the fact he called one of the founding fathers a Chad.
Yeah, sorry, I'm just not interested in his content. I'm a sucker for the founding fathers. I fell in love with them back in elementary school and middle school and was devastated in high school when I learned that their viewpoints had been nearly eradicated. Anything around or post civil war is just tragic for me, and I don't like watching things that make me depressed. Unless he does more early US republic content, which I'd love to see.
Oh and we can't forget Galactibun. In my opinion they have some of the best Hamilton animatics as well. They are my first go to Hamilton animatic person. I love how they do the hearts in the mouth thing and when someone is heartbroken or sad their heart in their mouth will be split in half.
I think that the whole "you strike me as a woman who has never being satisfied" is not Hamilton saying: "you're a virgin, aren't you? I can tell" it's more Hamilton saying: "you probably had suitors and you are possibly taken, but non of them can please like me". And when he say next: "I've never been satisfied" means: "I was never pleased properly too, so let's hook up". And the face that Angelica made wasn't suppose to be a mad one, but she kinda tried to brush him off while being intrigued by him (in the musical and by the tone)
Exactly. My own interpretation of it was that she's not intellectually satisfied by her suitors. Aka they are not on the same wavelength as her. Given that women were usually expected to be naive and submissive, she couldn't find a great conversationalist like her to discuss stuff and be with. And then Alexander affirms that he to hasn't found a woman he considers his intellectual equal. So they both aren't "satisfied". There are a lot of similarities between the two (as per the play) that they think quite highly of themselves and their standing and intelligence and rather in a way look at other people as below them. So both are looking for an equal. When she understands it she blushes as she thinks she's finally found an equal who she doesn't look to as "not up to her standards" intelligence and talent wise. She says so just after that. Also, that's why later on when she leaves US she says to him "there's no one who can match you for a turn of phrase". She likes that she can banter with him as an equal. However I do think that when she initially says that "I don't know what you mean you forget yourself" she interprets this as him saying that she isn't sexually satisfied by her suitors ( you know... A guy bragging that he's better than other guys in bed or whatever) and reminds him that he's no place asking such questions or insinuating she sleeps around (before marriage in the context of the play) to a lady of a prestigious household especially when he's not in a high enough position to do so. As in you forget that you are not to insult the host's daughter.
He forgot about them. He was writing satisfied and the words flowed. He forgot to write them in and when he was done to mention them would ruin the flow of the song.
If you want to keep some of the musical fandom around you could do the musical "Six" when you're done with Hamilton. It too is a history based musical.
@@angelfish1506 logically. No one knows anything. But there is still the posibility that he knows stuff about britain. Plus it was just a recomendation. If he doesn't know anything about it no one is forcing him to watch it.
As also a historian, I honestly cannot believe Burn isn’t even an honorable mention for your favorite female-led song... she literally calls historians out in it, talks about historical narrative! But I can’t fault you for liking this one more overall, it’s easily my favorite of the two.
You should do “congratulations” it didn’t make it into the final production but it goes over why the renalds pamphlet was a bad idea and it goes over Angelicas personal relationship in further depth
I half-expected you to pause one second in and be like "Yeah, John Laurens couldn't make the wedding" haha. Thanks so much for making great content. You've got me passing through Saints Row IV again with you and I'm gonna finally play through Gat Out of Hell after sleeping on it Hope people DO stick around after Hamilton is done. I know I will be!
Him-talking about how Alex was like “yOuR a ViRgIn ArEnT yOu? I cAn TeLl.” Me-on the floor, absolutely DYING of laughter saying “AlEx, NoOoOoOoOoOoO.” Then dying again
Interesting interpretation on their conversation about never being satisfied. I never thought of it as sexual, or referring to virginity. I always felt it had more to do with not being satisfied in life.. like wealth, career, (okay yes, love), reputation and stature. Overall, im extremely Satisfied with your videos. You're awesome.
That is Alexander’s meaning, in the play, but when Angelica responds “I’m sure I don’t know what you mean, you forget yourself” she’s mistaking his meaning for being a pickup line/reference to sex.
Totally agree. I don't think Alexander was referring to virginity at all. I think he was noting the fact that Angelica was an intelligent, well-read woman living in a time when women's intellect was simply unacknowledged. After all, many many women have married, had tons of sex and given birth numerous times without ever being "satisfied". That's where the Victorian phrase " lie there and think of England" came from!
I interpreted Angelica's interpretation slightly differently from Social Stud here. We all agree that Hamilton didn't mean anything lewd, but I saw Angelica's initial interpretation as being that Alexander was claiming that no man she'd been with had gotten her off. Whether or not she'd ever had sex, she was never _satisfied_, or so she interprets his words.
"That bastard brat of a Scottish peddler! His ambition, his restlessness and all his grandiose schemes come, I'm convinced, from a superabundance of secretions, which he couldn't find enough whores to absorb!" It’s honestly one of my favorite John Adams quotes because... come on. It’s hilarious.
1) u are one of the first people ive seen to notice the double meaning and play on words with the being satisfied=being a virgin 2) I appreciate that u can still enjoy LMM's artistic take on the story (which he had to condense multiple decades into with different storylines) but still be able to provide clarity on the truth without judging. I feel some are so quick to correct that they come off as trying to catch miranda in a lie. When in truth he was just writing his interpretation as a form of entertainment
I always took this song to mean that neither of them had ever been satisfied intellectually. They are both very intelligent and driven, and he recognized that in her. Earlier in the play she's looking for a man with a good mind, and now she found one.
Phillip Schuyler didn’t want to mooch, but the musical is speaking to Angelica’s need for care if her father dies with no brothers. Or women’s need for care if their father dies and they have no brothers.
Lin Manuel even said that he knew Skylar had sons he forgot about them when writing the song because he was on a roll and the words kinds flowed together.
"his pretty eyes mggm" hahah I almost choked I came for Hamilton, I stay for the history education and very good content overall. I hope you can get to the part of 'Your Obedient Servant' cause I'd love to know the story behind the duel that led Alexander to his death in hands of Burr. Anyways, thanks for the video!
what I adore is the subtle clue of szin's amazing artworks, when Eliza is shown to be smitten with Alexander, Angelica's colors fade, compared to when they blushed when she was previously gushing about him.
I disagree with your interpretation of "satisfied" especially considering how it is used through the rest of the musical. To me, it was more generic satisfied. Happy with where you are, content. I see Alexander Hamilton as never content with his position and always pushing for more.
Exactly. My own interpretation of it was that she's not intellectually satisfied by her suitors. Aka they are not on the same wavelength as her. Given that women were usually expected to be naive and submissive, she couldn't find a great conversationalist like her to discuss stuff and be with. And then Alexander affirms that he to hasn't found a woman he considers his intellectual equal. So they both aren't "satisfied".

As in you forget that you are not to insult the host's daughter.
True, I also always so both their dissatisfaction with things that they can't have - Angelica isn't much in a powerful position, she hates the role that has been forced on her and the women of her time and that she can't do anything greater than that Hamilton is unsatisfied with the work he's doing, that he can't do anything else and can't do as much as he would want to, he can't accomplish the things and expectations he's set for himself Angelica is unsatisfied with her surroundings and the people of her time, Alexander is more unsatisfied with himself than with the people around him
She said that's why she nailed her audition. She learned Satisfied in one day, but she was relaxed because she didn't think she had a serious shot at getting the part because she was so much older than Lin. As we say "good black don't crack!". She looks fantastic in the film.
Even for her being married at this point and her and John being in England, if they *could* have gotten back for the wedding, would Angelica have stood at Eliza's side in this way? I realize I don't know if Best Men and Maids/Matrons of Honor were even a thing at weddings back in the day.
Fun fact - Satisfied is a reworking of a song that LMM wrote for Karen Olivo, who played Vanessa in In the Heights and Angelica in the Chicago Hamilton. (I saw her. She was great.). Even though he wrote it, and presumably could pretty much do what he wanted with it, LMM asked her permission to use the song.
Hi! I recently found your channel and I promise I won't leave when Hamilton ends, I love you and Peridot very much. As a fellow bird owner, I know how hard it is to focus when there's an energetic feather ball running all over the place or a cute floofball begging for attention and screaming, so I have a lot of respect for you.
yes szin is the godfather or mother. SHE"s THE OG!!!!!!!! she deserves the respect that is due. so thanks for shouting her out Stud. her animatics got me into hamilton. and five years later they still proudly STAND TALL. the best!!!!
When you are done with the songs from Hamilton please react to songs from the musical 1776. It tells the story leading up to the signing of the declaration of independence with John Adams as main character.
I love Angelica, both as character in the musical and as a historical figure. I'm hopping someone will capatilaze in Hamilton's success and we'll get some novel or show about the real Angelica, because there was a reason everyone fell for her, ;)
Ok, you said that most people would dip once Hamilton is done. Which is true... but I think I'll be sticking around simply because I like most of your react videos. I hope you grow, and ppl pls just stay subscribed even if Hamilton stops. I think he deserves it.
LMAOOOO i always forget historical figures were just people at the end of the day. Like just try imagining the people you see in hustory textbooks being like Hamilton who just smash and dipped a lot
I know Brady's bird like I know my own mind, there is nothing more majestic in this world you can find. I love this bird more than anything in my life, I will listen to it squack o'er Brady every time. Brady if you could step aside, I don't mean to be chide, it's just that without birb I know I wouldnt be satisfied.
Please do some of the removed songs, I think ones called let it go (obviously not the frozen one, there’s an animatic by captain sealant) also congratulations because I freaking love that song
Awe, I love the honest at the very beginning! I've watched a couple of the Hamilton videos now and after that opener, I made sure to remember to subscribe. And also, I thought the bird was a microphone in the other video. But its so well behaved letting you hold it that long. This is all in addition to me loving this review in addition to Renee being the queen she was born to be!
The best idea would be that they were not satisfied not in the sexual thing but in their ideals to conquer and the way forward in life or with what they would believe that both would achieve not happiness, but fulfillment in their lives. Hamilton wanted to be a war hero, make a name for himself not only in high society but in history, perhaps not as exaggerated as the musical shows it, but he had his ambitions to climb on the steps of the Aristocratic mountain. Angelica was looking for an intelligent person with ideas and who was outside the aristocratic world in which she lived (There will be a reason why she eloped and secretly married someone) her love could have been Hamilton if they had met years before.
Here's what's actually going on in this song: Angelica is proposing a toast at her sister's wedding, and freezes up for over two minutes while she has a vivid flashback. No one seems to notice.
If you decide to do a video on Burn/First Burn in the future, I recommend Micho's animatic of First Burn. I believe Eliza was pregnant or had recently given birth around the time The Reynolds Pamphlet/Burn happened and Micho's is the only animatic that I'm aware of that reflects that.
Awww i really wanted the other video by jake whatever his youtube name was... legit the prettiest animatic out. Also the first one i seen before I even seen the play and I remember I cried lol. Not knowing the play or the songs but the music and the animation was perfect I became emotional
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVER. Weirdly, this video makes me satisfied. Like, more satisfied than all of your other videos, and I binge them like there's no tomorrow and I'm never satisfied but this video makes me satisfied.
I think Lin Manuel wrote the introduction between Angelica and Alexander this way so it would be understood both ways. The obvious, as a sexual innuendo, and the deeper meaning as an observation about her life, back then, as a strong opinionated woman who needs to get married to keep her status, and in doing so she puts aside her own aspirations. She will never be satisfied, because she doesn't live the life she wants to live. He will never be satisfied - he kept writing like he was running out of time, always chasing something he thinks he needs in his life. It's not the sexual thing, it's more of the wanting they both have in life, the thirst for something more than what they have.
Oh! You should also react to Six: The Musical. It's about the six wives of king Henry VIII. Their songs are more pop like, their songs based on popular singers like Adele or Rihanna.
somehow I feel like the satisfied thing is supposed to mean that in life and in what he does he's never satisfied he always wants more. like no matter how much he accomplishes no matter how much he does he just wants to keep doing more and more and more until there's nothing left.
Please do the first version of the Burn song (called First Burn) as well as the version from the play! I don’t know what historical things you can get from it and I don’t think there is a hand-drawn animation video to it but the song is amazing 🤩 also I love your videos, new subscriber!
I always read that never been satisfied between alex and Angelica as a mental and intellectual aspect of satisfied, but it's interesting the way you pointed it lol
