I didn't understand the meaning :( My first language isn't english and I didn't get the joke. Can someone explain me?

[@julialiu9162]

+raristudies this just means the tension in the room fires up. Cold=angry/icy. And it means Elle just got angry with Emmet

[@flo6421]

Musical emmett is better than movie emmett

[@theatrekidlilly2414]

Yes, I agree

[@jayden.dayyan]

facts

[@otterwithadarkside4422]

100%

[@menmtznayeli]

Oh, you are absolutely right! I feel more develop this emmett's interactions with Elle than the movie

[@Nothing0_010]

Obviously but movie Warner is better than musical Warner

[@crstph]

I love the movie but it just doesn't do Elle and Emmett's relationship justice

[@kaylamorello5478]

Christy S I also like Emmett's character better here.

[@rkah6187]

I love the movie and the musical too, they're both great. It's just that they're about different things. In the film, the focus is on Elle and her alone proving how much she's worth, the romance is just something of an aside. I actually like that, I mean swapping one dude for another would sort of diminish what the story was about, that's why it didn't get more emphasis.The broadway show is a romantic comedy. Nothing wrong with, of course, but its got a slightly different focus.

[@SC-kb9kk]

I was first introduced to Legally Blonde when my high school performed it. I loved it so much that I went to see the movie and... was disappointed honestly. There are a couple things the movie does differently that work arguably better than the musical, the main one being in the movie Elle decides on her own to succeed at Harvard while Elle in the musical doesnt really care until Emmett motivates her. I understand why that it irks some people (it did for me, that was the one thing I didn't like about the musical) but even though Emmett motivates her, Elle goes on to prove herself multiple times without Emmett's help. He was more of a catalyst for actually caring about Harvard. I also dont believe that developing the romance more devalues Elle's character in the musical at all. I personally really loved it, it is leaps and bounds above what was presented in the movie. I dont have a desire to re-watch the movie because I actually find it mean-spritird and catty. I haven't grown to like the actors and characters in general in the movie. But the musical magnifies the very best elements of the movie and truly transforms it into a heart-warming story. Is it corny? Yes, but I love it. Everytime I watch it I feel good and extra motivated to be the best person of myself.

[@monioni7923]

@@rkah6187 this is still about elle starting to know her self worth thats what the song so much better is all about

[@lunacy5772]

@@rkah6187 I see it as less romantic comedy more establishing and solidifying emmet and elle's chemistry with each other as opposed to the movie where emmet and elle hang out twice maybe thrice but the movie still insisted they end up with each other. Also "immediately swapping dudes" is an overstatement as well, just because they were both "romantically available" in one scene together doesn't mean they are immediately a couple. Emmet saw a struggling student and saw himself in her and pushes her to discover her self-worth back until she was strong enough to stand for herself, it wasn't until "take it like a man" he started to evaluate what he was feeling. granted in some cases the movie did better in doing elle's independence better but we are talking about their relationship here, and in reality we people are often blinded by desires and can need a push every now and then. Besides elle's "badassery" wasn't diminished. that is my two cents on the matter.

[@notcarameldonuts6912]

I love how they built up Emmett and Elle’s relationship the way they did it’s just so charming!

[@theatrekidlilly2414]

That's why I prefer the musical over the movie. They show Elles and emmett's realtionship build

[@lucy_9702]

@@theatrekidlilly2414 I think some movies that work better as musicals are Legally Blonde and Heathers but musicals like Mean Girls work better as movies

you can tell how Emmett is slowly falling in love with Elle just by the small gestures and details

[@josephinephillips6608]

This part of the musical is always so inspiring! It gives me chills every time!!😍 Emmett is so much like my older brother because he's always giving me great advice and inspiring me to study harder get my work done which is really good. And it's so catchy when Emmett and Elle sing😍 And the part when Emmett says "I haven't slept since 1992"😂 I wasn't even alive then but I still feel him😂 I just love the part when they first meet in the movie and then they propose at the end of the movie! Legally Blonde will always be one of my favorite movies and musicals!❤
