DUDE COMOARE THEM BECAUSE ITS A REEBOOT NOT A SHOW THAT CAME FROM NOWHERE
They’re supposed to be a show and it’s reboot. When you reboot a show you can change whatever you want about it except for one thing. The core of the original. What made the original show what it is, what is at its core. In MH’s case, the core was “we are monsters, we are proud” no matter what you are or where you come from, no matter about what you look like or who you are, you are you and you should be proud. To send that message they made their characters a certain way, they made them stand out. A vegan lolita vampire? Who’s ever heard of that? Frankenstein’s monster made a monster? You’re crazy. A werewolf designer? That doesn’t make sense, werewolves are wild dogs. A vampire and a werewolf dating? Dude no way. They had everything, contradictions, questions and so much more. There was no designated mean girl just a bunch of high schoolers and I swear to god if you call Toralei the mean girl I will not hesitate to rant on to the next century about how she is not the stereotypical mean girl and the same goes for Cleo. There was no stereotyping with the characters is what I’m saying. In the reboot they kept the core but they didn’t make it land the way the og did because THEY STEREOTYPED THE CHARACTERS. They made a designated mean girl and removed characters that everyone loved just because. I can’t even think of a logical reason to make mh a basic teen drama! MONSTER HIGH FOR GODSSAKE!
Now I’m ranting! Sorry 😞
