But, look, I know that the grandpajoehate is ostensibly a meme. It’s a joke poking fun at the very musical rules that allow a bed-bound person to magically be cured in the first place. But it never acknowledges the fact that his spontaneous rejuvenation is magic, and that the magic is the magic of love.
All my homies hate grandpa joe
Except that one wall of text explaining the movie runs on the rules of Musicals and it all makes sense in that context.
I think I read it on Lemmy but it was a long time ago and I have no hope of finding it.

I am flabbergasted but after searching for less than a minute I managed to find the year old post!
