Ugh. Meryl Streep. Isn’t she just the worst?
No talent. No wit. No class. And if you don’t agree with me, I have the King of Truth and Twitter, Donald J. Trump, on my side. So there.
Because the living breathing version of Lord Voldemort King Trump has shed light on the fact that Meryl Streep is totally and completely overrated, why not take a trip down memory lane, and revisit all the ways she’s deeply disappointed us over the years?
1. The Devil Wears Prada
Remember when Streep played a kick-ass magazine editor so damn well we we’re all simultaneously terrified and awestruck?
Um… I mean… she won a Golden Globe for the performance too, but umm, was still totally overrated like Trump said. Um. Yeah. Um… let’s just skip to the next one and forget I ever mentioned this.
2. Kramer vs. Kramer
Won an Academy Award, won a Golden Globe, paved her way into the world’s collective heart forever and ever.
But, like… so what? I made a Carbonara from scratch last night and won a hula-hooping competition in Year 5. That’s basically the same thing.
3. Mamma Mia
What about the time when critics praised Streep for being “crucial to transforming what could have been a weak soap opera into a vibrant work of historical fiction implicitly critiquing postwar America’s stifling culture of domesticity”?
She did turn what could’ve been a saccharine la-la musical into a $609 million box office hit, and created a smash hit soundtrack out of it, but no big deal, you guys. Nothing to see here. Just more of Meryl Streep being totally not even that good.
