lmao this is a bar but also so presumptuous ! i really love the 1995 miniseries as it was my introduction to pride and prejudice media bc my mom had the dvd set and i watched with her as a kid (and have rewatched multiple times since. i came out of barbie thinking about how it betrays itself as a product of millennials when the depression barbie ad has that clip from 1995 bc i dont think women and girls younger than me are really that aware of it anymore, but i loved it and that scene was where i laughed the hardest bc i have very much Watched That When Depressed). i think 1995 is an excellent adaptation, and while i obviously love the 2005 movie, i understand the critiques people have of it and dont really push back on them. i do think some people (not necessarily u anon) gloss over its departures in asserting its fidelity to the text (when in the book is mr darcy sopping wet lol) and i found when i read the book at 14 that its really funny in a way that the series doesnt quite translate entirely. ofc 2005 does away with much of the humor and emphasizes the romantic drama but idc bc its iconic ! i actually think the *real* conversation we should wake up is that 1995's sense and sensibility is the best true austen adaptation that understands and portrays both the humor and the romance to be honest
