[@thespanishinquisition4078]

wait. DAUGHTER of a mummy? As in she was birthed before mummification or after? Because if she was birthed before this is pure nepotism, she got in just because her papa is influential. And if it was after, appart from how nonesensical that is... What does that even mean? I mean, it's pretty weird I guess but does that give her any power, anything weird at all, or is she just practically a human but technically a monster, like how cats are technically pets but are practically assholes.

[@adam.n-steve]

@@thespanishinquisition4078 "This is pure nepotism". Yeah, that's her character. An actual quote from one of the animated movie: "Back in my days, we used to earn our popularity...by being born in the right family". In another movie, she was literally forced to marry a prince so her royal family and his royal family can make an Empire Empire🎤

[@thespanishinquisition4078]

@@adam.n-steve That... has way more potential than I expected. I mean, a character with the expectation and priviledge of belonging to a ruling bloodline who doesn't have any real powers but gets sent to a school for (magically) gifted kids and has to come to terms with the fact that in our post-feudal world she is now effectively the bottom of the pack? It could work as both redeemable antagonist and protagonist given the right focus. For example. Using her as protagonist on this film's plot. Imagine if instead of introducing last minute that the school is crumbling due to a non-monster being in it, (which also means that the villain would've won by doing nothing... great plot!) we are introduced from the start to the school's security system popping off and everyone being on edge about it. So of course this might feed Cleopatra's insecurities, because as a practically normal human she becomes convinced she's at fault as the movie goes on. Which is a way better reason to go for the potion that "my nails retract sometimes". Now about Cleo, let's introduce her as basically a redeemable bully type (like the protagonist from Happy Death Day), but as we spend more time with her it becomes obvious that she's so uptight due to societal pressure and her own insecurity, and we see how some of the other monsters reject her due to her attitudes while others try to break through. Except for the real villain, who at first we see as her "confidant" due to family relations, but as the plot progresses the audience can see he's very much feeding her worse instincts and manipulating her into going after the potion. So let's say close to the end she gives him the potion because he claims to be able to modify it so it's safe, but he just drinks it instead, and shows that he is the human, and therefore she is indeed a monster, she just doesn't have her powers yet because she is the monster equivalent of "developmentally challenged". Combine that plot with a good climax, specially one where she winds up being important in saving the others precisely because the villain thoroughly underestimates her, and wrap it up with a nice message about accepting your personal (medical or otherwise) challenges, say by showing that her parents in the end when they reunite understand she broke under the pressure and try to accept her when she feared they'd be furious. And this could be a pretty decent film... Certainly better than this crap.

As a longtime MH fan and doll collector, I feel like I dodged a bullet after watching the spoiler reviews. I wasn't able to watch the movie due to not having Cable or Paramount Plus, and after hearing from other people about how much the lore and characters have been changed, or ruined in Jackson Jeckel/Holt Hyde's case (The original son of Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde from MH Gen 1), I am kind of relieved that I was spared that kind of suffering. Its sad to see something that you loved growing up get butchered in such a corporate way. At least the dolls for Gen 3 are an improvement over the nightmare that was the 2016 MH reboot.

[@VeronicaStorm98]

@zookeepersrobloxadventures5368 The MH anime was cute, and the 2016 MH reboot was probably the worst thing to happen to the brand. With the 2016 reboot, it cheapened the quality of the dolls, and it changed the lore and the character designs in a way that made them look less edgy and interesting. The 2022 MH reboot is objectively better than the 2016 MH reboot by comparison of the animated shows and the actual doll quality for each generation, though.

Frankenstein's monster using they/them pronouns is appropriate cause they are a combination of random parts stitched together but I don't think the movie is clever enough to think about that reason

The thing is they original used female pronouns. They only made the character nonbinary is because the actor refused to act as her if they weren't nonbinary

[@pizzapower3166]

@@lil_mis_smiles Also, They always had plans to make Frankie non-bionary thanks to fan requests, same reason why G3 Draculaura has her Melanie Martinez hair. Cece Balagot goes by he/him but, was more than delightful to play this role. So, don't blame the actor, blame the fans even if it really doesn't do any harm, G1 Frankie was a vanilla protagonist anyway.

[@kivaHBRO_04]

As a kid who grew up with monster high and seeing the new live action trailer I knew it was gonna awful from the start. I just wish they actually cared about Monster high and actually tried to make a good reboot. Instead they just pissed on the franchise.

[@skyxclouds3765]

I like how they made Frankie NB because the producers decided to jump in the trend of "Look! we have an LGBT character! we are inclusive!!1!" that companys are doing lately, but they made Clawdeen, the one character that basically all the community and even the original creator of the dolls acepted as a lesbian, and they made her have a straight romance LMAOOOO. They did the same thing years back when they tried to do a "reboot" that als sucked. LGBT characters are a great idea for Monster High, but since the creators cant put two and two together they will probably never do it right.

[@Noperare]

TBF, the Frankie being they/them makes sense because she is made of several corpses, so it is they/them as in many people not NB. The problem is that joke is WAY too clever for this movie, so even if that was the intention, it still feels like Twitter pandering.

[@alexandrocorona9283]

@@Noperare I mean that’s actually pretty clever for a joke but she still is one person so it’s still garbage

[@alexandraclavijo8149]

@@Noperare only that Frankie is not made by corpses but artificial parts, that's why she produces energy (there is even an entiremovie where the plot goes by this idea and exolain that she is an artificial life).

[@BabyGirlTiny]

I meant clawdeen lesbian is a headcanon and has always been a headcanon. They don’t need to use it just because the community wanted it. Hell, this is the first time she’s ever had a romance during the entire franchise

Isn't Cleo supposed to be one of the few main protagonist and Toralei being the main antagonist? Clawdeen were supposed to have A LOT of siblings and a mom who works there also not to mention Clawdeens confident and energetic personality. Monster high couldve made a movie that was based from the OG AU instead of this mostrosity. This feels ruined to see... even the ships all messed up from what I used to see when I was a kid. CHILDHOOD RUINED 😭

Look I don’t care if they change the gender. But if the character constantly introduces themselves like, “hi I’m --. Pronouns, they/them” that kinda sounds like something out of DeviantART.

[@KuulSHep]

I remember when commercials for Monster High first aired on TV, it was some time after the Bratz Dolls came out (God I'm old, lol). When Nickelodeon produced the 2D Flash animated "show" it looked pretty promising, then they revamped it (no pun intented) as 3D TV movie specials and it was baaaaad. Still had some charm but overall meh. This monstrosity just took the MH brand and turned it upside it's head. Claudia was already established as a popular girl in the school and had a Brooklyn accent along with a brother and a sister. The brother being Draculura's boyfriend. Frankie, however, was the new kid and she knew she was made up of ONLY female parts. Cleopatra is suppose to be a mummy and her boyfriend was the male Gorgon character. If Laura Faust worked on this it probably wouldn't suck so much and that's despite what she's doing to the DC Superhero Girls show on Cartoon Network. Final thing: the Head Mistress was WHITE! I wish they stop race-swapping characters.
