Unpopular opinion but I was totally on Big’s side on the first movie. He didn’t want the big fancy wedding full of strangers he’d never met, then when they split he didn’t move on, he even bought her that penthouse and built her a shoe wardrobe!

They introduce Big as “the next Donald Trump” the second time he’s on screen in episode one. A man that was able to get a nickname like that in the 90s and have created such a lucrative career for himself should have the ability to communicate with his fiancé that the wedding is getting out of hand, without jilting her at the alter.

Then again, she was his 3rd wife and it was their 1000000th attempt at a relationship, so communication was never their strong suit.
 
Old miranda definitely feels like the most NYC of all the girls, she has the no-bs attitude and doesn’t take dating too seriously in the series. She works hard, makes good financial decisions and is independent. I know Sam does this too but she always seemed a bit caricatured. I liked how Miranda had a strong moral compass and was a loyal friend and gave love a chance with Steve/was willing to grow. Even in the first movie. What they’ve done to her in AJLT is shocking. No woman in their 50s in nyc working in the corporate field or attending an Ivy League would act this way. fair enough if it ran its course with Steve but I could see her dating some switched on fellow successful guy (or girl) and having an awesome empty nester life in a cool Manhattan apartment- anyone remember the fit silver fox lawyer she dated when Brady was a baby and she really wanted a shag - somebody like that! She wouldn’t give che the time of day.

Exactly! SATC Miranda would have had NO time for Che and read them for filth. The writers really should have stuck to the plan of her with Nya - that made sense and it's pretty obvious that making a U turn on that caused a gaping plothole for Nya who was just kind of there.

Same. The night Miranda meets Steve, Carrie has just stood her up for dinner because Big asked her to come round! Actually left her standing in a bar! That's an unfriending offence.

That always pissed me off. And it’s the fact that she is brazen enough to tell her. I mean lying about it would suck but she was just to casual: “I’m just having veal with Big” Carrie has the audacity to then get annoyed because Miranda is pissed about being stood up! I wonder why?
 
They must be going for this trope that she’s a total pushover for men. She’s ditched her friends 100 times for men and in AJLT has sold her apartment for a man and went along with him refusing to step foot in it. It’s so strange, but are they just trying to hammer home that she’s been like this all along?
