Mean girls vs mean girls 2024 lunch scene

[@butterflyera]

the og acting feels so natural and its like im watching an actual interaction.

[@oliver_liew]

Exactly my thoughts.. Why does the new one seem so "ACTING!"

[@butterflyera]

@@oliver_liewexactly… and people making excuses saying its a musical, the acting is supposed to dramatic, but this is just bad acting.

[@Stargirl807]

@@oliver_liewcause it’s a case of people knowing how to sing but not act. Like how some actors know how to act but not sing

[@zackyvwasin339]

The few second but noticeable dead air after regina said "you're like really pretty" at 0:51 was so awkward and unhinged😢

[@aknavvy3188]

it’s based off a broadway musical. have you seen or done musical theatre like ever

[@matesafranka6110]

The new movie just straight up looks like a KZbin sketch.

[@andieallison6792]

Like a CollegeHumor sketch for middle schoolers

[@glencoconut]

I was trying to place why the new movie felt so 'weird' to me and this is exactly it

[@avalanche_dreams]

Feels like a five minutes craft or xo team type production 😭😭😭

[@annieyao2728]

True

[@jdivina15]

Rachel McAdams’ Regina George feels like she’s analyzing and testing Cady. Like you can tell there’s ulterior and devious motives. She really does embody the “mean girl queen bee” spirit. Her “so you agree? You think you’re really pretty” she knows Cady can overtake her so she starts making moves to keep her in line by keeping her close and as a minion. Renee Rapp’s Regina George feels like she’s just intrigued by Cady. Same lines but there’s no “bite” or “mean girl queen bee” persona. She just looks fascinated about the new girl and wants her to be her plaything. No ulterior motives… Renee Rapp feels too chill and a cool girl to be the Type A Regina George most people know in my opinion

[@s__qqqq___xxx8200]

I think you are pretty spot on here

[@All-ze9cl]

I kind of agree with you, but I also like what new things Renee is bringing to Regina. She def feels like someone that you dislike, but you still really want to like you. I totally see her as the judgy popular girl

[@melricho6934]

They also played mysterious music in the back for Rachel’s part

[@random_meta]

The new actress looks like she's there to get paid and then leave. I'll have to watch the whole movie but just from clips she doesn't have the screen presence Rachel McAdams has.

[@tomasleon3148]

I kinda agree, except for the "cool girl" vibe. I watched the 2024 movie and this new Regina is literally so rude to everyone, while in the og version she's a two faced girl who plays nice in your face but backstabs you in the back. That's how realistic the og was, the reason why Regina is popular is because she's likable, if she was just rude all the time people wouldn't care for her and would just see her as a brat and that's it.

[@eugeniavoIodina]

the og regina would not be caught dead in that hideous black leather outfit

[@myaedelman]

I agree . To me it’s hard to tell the actual difference clothing wise between Regina and Janis now because they both wear dark alternative clothing. Studios need to realize it’s okay to have girls wear pink and be feminine and still have the girlpower theme.

[@bethanyvarre9142]

ModernGurlz did a short on (2024) Regina's outfits not working for her character. While we see sharpness and darker colors in Regina (2004), they are subtle, indicating that she hides her true nature.

The huge difference is that the new one seems like they're waiting for their line. It's memorised, delivered, and done. The original seems genuinely natural and like a real conversation which I think is one of the things that makes it more memorable because its so realistic, and also less Disney-vibed

[@gianna526]

Honestly, something about the original that clicked with me was the way Regina reacted to Cadey saying she was homeschooled. As a homeschooler I related so much, it really felt like you could picture Regina judging her and realizing that she was a socially deficient "jungle freak" as the other characters call her. The new scene just kinda seems like, oh new girl let's see what she's about. Not really much wit or nasty cleverness which was important to Regina's character.

[@butterflyera]

Exactly… like another comment said that u can tell in the old one that regina has ulterior motives and the new one its like regina was nice and genuinely wanted to get to know her regardless if she was pretty or not

[@alexandersmith4731]

​@@butterflyera​​​ ​I kinda disagree on how nice the new one is, like look at their body positioning and facial expressions differences, Rachel is a lot more subtle with her arms folding on each other, friendly eyebrows and face, asking Cady to sit with them, doesn't make Cady move out of her seat, the only time it seems *oh she's scary* is so when she said "You think you're really pretty?", Cady really can't make her out, with Renee, just watch her face expressions, outfit, legs crossing on the school table, doesn't even want Cady to get close or invite her to sit and how she ask Cady to move out of the way just to have a private convo 😂, if this was in another era Renee looks like the GF of the lead gangster in school

[@philcollinslover56705]

The originals had much more depth to it's acting. Regina looked like she was smart, analyzing everything. In the new one, she doesn't look analytical, just bitchy.

[@freelands8355]

I blame it on bad directing

[@tomasleon3148]

@@philcollinslover56705 Exactly, I watched the new movie and I thought this new Regina is just rude all the time and a brat, the og was sneaky and always played nice in people's faces.

[@hiikarinnn]

It’s the intense eye contact that makes the original so scary

[@STARIIMELxoxo]

More people need to realize that the new movie is based off the broadway musical and not based off the original😭😭

[@CrystalMoonPower]

It’s a mix of both from what I heard basically the best of both worlds and a modern version ig?

[@moldyslicedbread]

i feel like it mixes both the original movie and the musical bc they cut like tons of songs and changed the way they were sung compared to the stage musical

[@mxhsvn_b7866]

Regina seems more chill and Cady seems more confident in the new version. There's not as much tension in their conversation compared to the OG movie. It didnt seem as pivotal or impactful

[@bohgirl11]

The new Regina almost seems half asleep so she’s not in the slightest bit intimidating, lol!

[@Zaralynn2010]

I think she does lol she like so gorgeous and tall it's pretty intimidating to me!

[@na1959]

Yeah but like makes sense, coz the current mean girl perception is more of bored or chill, you're being really loud kinda girl...

[@lauraj6694]

The direction is so weird. Like why is Gretchen the one stood up? Wouldn’t it make sense for Regina to be stood up, signifying that she is the head of the social hierarchy, and the puppet master for the group? Instead Gretchen is the only one stood in the shot and appears over Regina/Karen at the end. In the original, all three were sat but Regina was firmly in the middle, showing that Gretchen/Karen literally cannot have a conversation without her, Regina is front and centre. The empty chairs opposite showed us how everyone else was afraid of them. Direction has a purpose, it shows the audience hidden messages about the characters and location we’re seeing. But the new version doesn’t do any of this, there’s no framing of Regina as Queen Bee.

[@norijean3279]

Renee's sweet and flirty personality comes through. Rachel is more mean and intimidating.

[@yeaesthetics3195]

Ikr. She's so unnecessarily flirty. Like girl you're trying to gain control here not to have a date

[@ChocoBerry_12]

The fact that the plastics in the new movie aren’t even wearing a tiny bit of pink on them :/

[@schketchy]

Really sad that they cut like half of Meet the Plastics, it’s kinda vital to the story in the musical, and the part they cut is literally one of the most popular parts of the song 😭 it gives context for the “my name is Regina George, and I am a massive deal” line in World Burn, which they kept in the movie (??), super confusing if you’re not familiar with the musical. Also disappointed that the actresses for Cady, Gretchen and Karen aren’t… very strong singers, the soundtrack is really missing the three-part harmonies of Regina Gretchen and Karen. Renée Auil’i and Jaquel are amazing singers, but unfortunately they don’t make up for the disparities (even after Janice and Damien sang Cady’s part in Apex predator).

[@xhappyponyxwasmyoldname1395]

What do you mean? They kept the whole “my name is Regina George” part, they just got everything else

[@aina____]

that's probably the reason why they cut Gretchen's and Karen's part, because bebe and avantika aren't strong singers so they won't be able to pull off the harmonizations at the end of the song properly.

[@tsukasa1608]

The new movie tried so hard to not be a musical and to be a musical at the same time🤣
