Miranda walking behind Charlotte until she got home was always one of my favorite moments. They weren't getting along but she knew that Charlotte needed that.
Miranda was the one who told Carrie exactly how things were. She was the friend who was honest and didn't hold back..didn't wrap things up to just to please Carrie...she said it how it is. We all need them friends!
@@sallyboateng5295 good point but with carrie you really couldn't sugar it up cause she was stubborn and hard of hearing. If there was anything in your responce that supported her actions she would run with so you had to be explicit and direct.
Samantha and Miranda are AWESOME. :) Charlotte grew up A LOT and learned from her mistakes during the show. Carrie... is the WORST role-model and friend. Never learning from her mistakes and never really taking responsibility for them, acting like the victim while she had an affair with a married man, never trying to work on her faults... The list just goes on.
I love Charlotte, but I don't think she actually changed or matured that much. She just calmed down when she got all that she wanted. She was very honest with herself, her aspirations and dreams and she pursued them until she was finally happy and content and I totally respect that.
Charlotte was so annoying, especially when she'd yell in her nasal little girl voice. Too prissy and judgemental. Miranda and Samantha were the best characters on the show.
Miranda was hands down the best. Samantha right behind her. Strong women who while they had their own rough patches, were able to really push themselves - yet allow themselves to feel / be vulnerable. All the while being loyal, brutally honest and forgiving to their friends. Miranda is up there as one of my favorite female characters in television.
And then they COMPLETELY ruined literally everything good about her in the reboot. Abandoned her friends, her husband and son, and her home and career for a romance with someone she barely knew.
don’t you think that Steve had done the same ?? He cheated on her in the movie, remember?? And she didn’t really betray her friends. I mean it should have been better, but she was just crazy in love in Che at the moment. She will definitely get better, but for a moment she is just trying to find her way, and i think it’s okay
And don't forget about that incredible wedding - no white, no bridesmaids, no over-the-top BS - and even though it was her day she was still in tune enough with her friends to know something serious was going on, then sat down and wanted to hear about Samantha's diagnosis.
Miranda was the one who lived in THE REAL WORLD! She was also the one who was well rounded, honest, and loyal. I love Miranda! Cynthia Nixon was great at playing the role of Miranda Hobbs.....
Cynthia Nixon is the reason that the Miranda character was so awesome. I always felt she was the best actress on the show and really made Miranda stand out as the ultimate complex woman. Any scene where Miranda argued with someone was so utterly convincing, I wasn't sure if it was acting or real! Love her.
She was my favorite. She is smart, practical, no bullshit, not a fan of self-delusion, but under her cool and unruffled exterior, she is kind and even warm. I loved that she realized that she didn't need some "trophy" man to impress her law firm co-workers, since she rarely socialized with them anyway, preferring her friends, who were not cookie cutter types--so she utimately reaized that Steve was the man for her. I loved seeing them as a couple, although I enjoyed her as a "solo act", just as much. I loved the scene with Miranda and the construction worker. It was absolutely hilarious!!
Miranda was always my favorite and the one I related to the most. Cynical, hard working, smart, independent, honest, supportive, head strong...who doesn't want to be that kind of woman (well...maybe not cynical but I know I am lol)? It was 3 moments that made me cry in this whole series and 2 are involving MIranda; when her mom died (because I would probably try to be tough and just end up being a total mess) and when she followed Charlotte home after her baby results (because seriously...you NEED that kind of friend).
I used to like Carrie (because I was in high school watching this on evenings on a school night) now as an adult, I relate to Miranda more than ever. And Miranda was BRUTALLY honest/woke of them all
Just because Charlotte was traditional, doesn’t mean she was a bad role model. Yes, when she judged people, that wasn’t right. But no one should judge her either. Real feminism is about choice. Not about all women being the same or thinking the same.
Spring Lady and Charlotte went through a lot and was still there for her friends. A divorce, trouble conceiving and adoption. I liked charlottes character.
She used to be such a great down to earth character. This person she's become in the new series is just... nothing like the Miranda we used to know and love.
Miranda is the absolut best. The amount of men with fragile masculinity in the comments speak volumes on why this type of characters are still needed in television.
Miranda is the friend everyone NEEDS. We all need that one person to be straight up and let us know when we have our heads up our asses our in the clouds
Miranda and Charlotte were my favorites (and annoyingly underrated). They are polar opposites but they both had the best progression out of the girls through the show and I appreciate what they represented. I felt like I am a mix of both lol.
Miranda and Samantha are the co-MVPs of the show for my money. They were the ones who most embodied what a true friend is IMO. Although Miranda could be judgmental, she also wasn’t afraid of being introspective (something Ms Carrie Bradshaw could NEVER be). Carrie never rung true to me as a heroine, even when I watched the show as it aired. Also, a lot of Miranda’s judgment came from a place of wanting to protect her friends from getting hurt....so I can understand that
I know what you mean. I still watch reruns every time they're on. There are some nights I could just wring Carrie's neck for being a douchebag but I keep coming back for more. Just like a "Carrie"! Thinking of buying their dvds.
The reason Sex and the City was such a success is that all four women represented a part of the whole! Every woman has some Miranda, Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte in them, which is why we can identify with the four. The woman that is favored by the viewer has the characteristics that the like best in themselves and their friends. Miranda was the smart, sassy, take no shit business woman. Samantha, the sexy, flirtatious do anything to get off part of all of us. Carrie, the true blue friend, who sized it all up, constantly questioning if she and others were doing the right thing, picking apart life to get to the core, and once there, not sure if what she saw was what she wanted. Lastly, Charlotte, the sweet, kind, dreamer, who sees castles in the sky and knows, or thinks she does, that if she follows the straight and narrow, her fairy tale will end with her riding into the sunset on the back of her prince’s white horse, even if it’s a bald, Jewish prince. So there we are. Hate a character, hate that part of your own id, love a character and that’s the part of you that you want to champion. SITC in a nutshell.
I absolutely loved Miranda and even Samantha. Miranda always did what she felt was right and caring a damm of others. Miranda was the career woman. Samantha was bold and a carefree bird. Charlotte was the Heart, soft and sensible. But Carrie was the messed up one..
Personally, I am a BIG FAN of "Sex and the City" for sometime and I enjoy watching it for the themes that it represented. As for Cynthia Nixon, she made the character of "Miranda Hobbes" the most interesting of the four on the show: Honest, Beautiful, and very unique. She is someone that I adore so much as well. I also have to admit that I had a crush on Ms. Nixon in the past, but I am happy that she has been married to her significant other since then. I wish all the very best for Ms. Nixon in her future endeavors.
Miranda was ALWAYS my favorite. She was smart, successful, funny & honest. I think my favorite was when she asked Carrie if it was bad to have sex with a man if you pregnant by another man. My only criticism is that she dated beneath her. Not only Steve but Scooter from Season 1. I wanted to add that simply saying “Carrie was the worst” is dumb. Yes, she was the main character but there was so much more. Try watching all 6 seasons. Thank you Ms. Mojo! ❤️😘
I agree with everything, but the "dated beneath her" part. Miranda dated men who adored her and were genuinely lovely people. I love that her and Steve were endgame. He served as a great counterbalance. He softened her up a bit, and she made him toughen up a bit.
Miranda has been my favourite since the original run of the show, but after watching the show in re-runs I've developed a soft spot for Charlotte. I believe she was the heart of the group and did more to keep the girls' friendship going on than Carrie ever did.
I liked her relationship with magda..i felt like she was her mother figure not just a housekeeper...even though her and magda were so different i think it worked because magda was as blunt about what she believed as miranda.
I hate to break this to you but Charlotte actually grew up and actually learn from her mistakes carrie did not so do not put Charlotte in the same category is Carrie
Charlotte wasn't a terrible role model, she was a different type of woman than Miranda or Samantha, but she wasn't a terrible role model, she knew what she wanted and went for it, she learned from her mistakes, she learned to not judge a book by it's cover, she nevr spoke badly of Trey after they split up, Samantha and Miranda both had flaws too, not just Charlotte.
Charlotte is amazing, like all the ladies Just because she didn’t have the same values doesn’t mean she’s bad. Feminism is about CHOICE. Not about all women being the same exact one way.
Steve treated her badly she was always expected to compromise and change especially when he cheated on her and whined that she made it hard to trust him when she cut of any unnecessary contact with a cheating louse
@@lucyhowarth1193 I kind of disagree. I dont think Steve ever pushed her to changed and he accepted her the way she was flaws and all and he just didnt fit the role she probably assumed she wanted in a man. Miranda always pushed him to do better for himself and he did, in the end they both compromised on things. His cheating was a definitely a huge disappointment but I'm glad they took time to go to therapy and work through it. They always were my favorite couple :)
@@lucyhowarth1193 Not really. You're supposed to compromise in a relationship that's the point, if you can't do that stay single or grow up stop being a selfish brat. It's no wonder he cheated when she constantly talked down to him and was mostly cold to him while he loved her very much. It was so obvious she saw him as a total nerd and thought that she was better than him.
@soda she comprised by buying the townhouse in Brooklyn for the family and married Steve though she wasn't necessarily for it. The least he could have done is spoken up and told Miranda what the problem was instead of going off and having a one night stand.
soda Miranda compromised by dating Steve in the first place. She was an associate at a law firm and he was a bartender. She never gave him flak for that but his ego couldn’t take it, then he rushed them into living together. She basically had to wait for him to grow up!
She's the most relatable one of the squad even she's attented Harvard Law College,which is definitely not for everyone. She has her feet on the real ground, while the rest seem more of fictional characters.
Actually, there was one thing about Miranda that really surprised me. When Berger said 'He's not that into you.' I was stunned when she didn't tear him a new one- we all know how prickly and sarcastic she can be when challenged. Instead, she listened to him outline why he said so and actually accepted it, mouthing to Carrie 'I love him'. It takes a lot to impress a cynical woman like Miranda Hobbes
I adored Miranda!!! She was always straight to the point and right about how she felt and let others know how it was.. she was sometimes crass but also had such a sweet comedic side to her you just know and loved. Great video!!
Miranda was by far my favorite on this show. Strong, intelligent, real, and caring all at the same time. Not to mention hilarious - her delivery of so many lines just had me cracking up. The one where the guy told her he had probably given her chlamydia and didn't even apologize, and she told him he could have told her, and he said she had told him to never call her again, and she was immediately like "AND NOW I REMEMBER WHY - BYE!" She was always a great friend, and I loved how she would always call out the other women when they were all about some guy and neglecting their own happiness. I also loved how she would point out how ridiculous society was for judging women who were still single in their 30s. The ONLY thing that kind of made me dislike her at times was how she was so rude to Skipper early in the show when he really did love her. Samantha was an entertaining character to watch, but the fact that she regularly slept with married men made me lose a lot of respect for her. Being sexually liberated is one thing, but being selfish and acting like it's totally cool to ruin people's lives for your own personal gratification is another. Charlotte was annoying because she would preach conservative values but then didn't practice what she preached - she would judge her friends for having casual sex and then have sex with guys she barely knew herself time and time again, just because they were good on paper. And Carrie was a whiny, entitled, immature bitch who would trod all over people and then somehow end up playing the victim. I don't know how her friends could even stand her, let alone love her as dearly as they did. I thought Miranda's reaction to her affair with Big was the best of all the friends - Charlotte was completely judgmental, Samantha seemed to completely excuse it, but Miranda was just a friend and didn't judge or justify it, just told Carrie "STOP." And really, when you think about it, Miranda's the only one of the four who really got to "have it all" in the traditional sense - she has an amazingly successful career, is married to the love of her life, and has a child. And she deserves all of it.
Yas, Miranda was my second favorit right after Samantha, i still love Charlotte, now we need a top ten reasons we secretly love Charlotte York, another reason why Miranda was the best, would be she was a great mother
Yup i agree. She got ghosted as often as the other gals but she kept faith that shed find the one. My favorite scene ever is when her and carrie are on a bike and carrie tells charlotte to just forget about finding a husband and treasure her friends and charlotte says NO she WANTS a husband. Not just to satisfy society but for her personal reasons. And she wants children so bad that she divorces trey over it. She sticks to her convictions and grows to be the best character!
I hated Miranda I first started watching in my late teens bt now I’m 22 and I’ve realized that I am Miranda . I’m not even kidding, I am her through and through!
How can you forget the scenes where she proposed and hung up when a 'great pile of tutus' were coming at her? She was awesome. I have a friend just like her.
Yeah this video didn’t age well, did it. Went from being one of the best characters of the show to being the most horrible character in the sequel series. Charlotte is still the best
Miranda has always been the better character. Like in the movie when her and Steve met on the bridge. That was such a bigger and better moment than Carrie and Big in the closet.
Miranda is the best. Unafraid of speaking her mind and always, always being herself. Just the kind of friend anyone with half a brain would be more than lucky to have 💗💗💗
Ever notice how all four characters are basically a modern women's psyche? She had elements of all four? Carrie is the eternal teenager, youthful, All about herself, lives in the second....... Charolett is the Pollyanna. How things should be. Pure, frilly, girly, traditional. Like a pre teen romance novel. Miranda is realistic. How things REALLY ARE. It may not be the best, but she will make it the BEST. Samantha is the WISH. The fantasy, how a female dreams of being. Also ever notice how every guy the date is different pychocis?? No regular personalities....
nobody will admit this but Carrie’s difficult and sometimes childish personality is what held their relationship together. Can you guys truly see people like Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha being close friends with all Carrie’s problems? We underestimate how important SJP’s character is to the four friends we love! That’s how I choose to see it.
Even in real life, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall are the best out of the foursome. We hardly ever see/hear about Kristen Davis; we only hear from SJP if it's fashion related - never doing anything career wise aka acting (sorry SJP fans, picking out colours for pumps and clothing won't land you an Emmy, Globe, Oscar or Tony award). Cynthia ran for political office last year and Kim Cattrall is in plays in England/U.S.
SweetPeach Bellini I did notice that Cynthia Nixon liked an IG post that Kim Cattrall directed @ SJP. When she criticized her about being fake when her brother died. Meow.
Yeah Kristin Davis isn't doing anything... just being a global am ambassador for Oxfam, working with UNHCR, and adopting two children, all while maintaining over 30 years of sobriety.... oh and pretty sure she threw in a Broadway debut somewhere along the way in thers
Sadly, history has proven that you are very wrong: SJP has won 4 golden globes (four!!!), 2 emmys, 3 SAGs). Plus, SJP is a pop culture island and an A-lister, while Cattrall is a pariah in Hollywood.
I was always called the Miranda character and love it! My favorite moments on the show were her no hold back yelling matches with Carrie. They were real and she always called Carrie on her bullsh--!
miranda is someone i aspire to be in my mind. she was always my favourite of the girls, because she was undeniably authentic and relatable, and also that scene in which she tells the other 3 she's enraged by them always only talking about men is like the most memorable scene of the whole show for me, for some reason))))
