Here is what the page “Why Midge Maisel Is More Insufferable Than Rory Gilmore, According to Fans” contains. Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of Gilmore Girls, has a knack for writing quick-witted, ambitious female leads who often frustrate viewers. While Rory Gilmore has long been criticized for her privilege and poor decisions, many fans now argue that Miriam 'Midge' Maisel from The Marvelous Mrs. Midge, played by Rachel Brosnahan, is a 1950s Upper West Side housewife who stumbles into stand-up comedy after her husband Joel leaves her.
Her journey is filled with sharp one-liners and stunning outfits, but also a glaring lack of self-awareness. Midge repeatedly sabotages her own career and relationships with impulsive outbursts and a refusal to listen to advice, from bombing on stage after revealing Sophie Lennon's secret to alienating her manager Susie. Unlike Rory, whose flaws often stem from being coddled, Midge's privilege is compounded by a sense of entitlement that she rarely questions.
