What Is Canon in Monster High?

[@kingdomorange2]

I just wanna say I was so disappointed with how watered down Spectra is in the webseries. I loved her gossipy “don’t give a damn” personality in her profile and profile

[@OpticalSorcerer]

Spectra fluctuated for me; sometimes she was interesting, sometimes she was annoying, and her spectral voice kinda threw things in the latter direction.

Our king has been spotted in the yt wild.

[@carlosceballosramirez1545]

Definitely seems they wanted to make her nicer and part of the main ghouls but thankfully they gave us Toralai and Nefera. I believe she's made to be nicer in the same way as she probably lets out her frustration through writing and let's herself be more vile while on gossip mode, but she probably doesn't mean as much harm due to shyness that was established.

[@carleymitchell9331]

I love the books as details to the world. It's all that they do to me, but they aren't as fun. Great video! Also maybe the newer stuff is just a secret G4 😂

[@feralcatgirl2169]

For the humans not being showed as much in the settings, i always thought of it as monsters and humans being strongly segregated. Like there's a monster part of cities and a human part.

[@Boogeyman4511]

I feel like that's what they were going for, but it all becomes very bizarre whenever I stop and think about it. If Boo York and New York were sharing the same territory, I feel like they'd easily discover each other as it's hard to hide a city in plain sight. The explanation I've heard that makes the most sense for me is that the monster and human worlds are separate dimensions that connect sometimes.

[@FallenGhoul]

@@Boogeyman4511during Ghouls Rules Lilith questions why the monsters are on their side of town so the idea of monster and humans being in segregated parts of the cities makes sense. Just have to imagine the cities are reeeeeeally big to allow both populations to have their own landmarks and everything

Monster high x brawl stars 💀

[@Caseyloena]

When I saw this video I was so delighted, ever video you create always feels full and informs me on things I might not know in monster high, I have always wondered why all the Lore and canon is separated into a non consistent story. I know this was a hard video to create because the canon is messy

[@CNfanatic]

Hey I love your content. it’s very well put together.

[@Giuseppecoretti]

I want to add the fact that the dolls of this franchise resemble more the characters in movies than the characters in webisodes. for example, I noticed that Operetta( daughter of the Phantom of the opera) in the webisodes has blue skin similar to Abbey Bominable, purple eyes and purple eyeshadow, while in the movies she has lilac skin, grey eyes and orange/yellow eyeshadow. Why????

[@DollsBoredom]

I was always bothered by the fact of lagoona’s “stage fright” even when the movie came out I think I was 10? Even then it bothered the hell out of me watching the movie remembering the webisodes 😒

[@Skipchipsdip]

Monster high canon can be pretty inconsistent. From diaries, web series and movies. Granted I always separated them as their own thing for my sanity lol Also anyone remember the books? All monster had to live among humans and hide their features?

[@jujublue4426]

Tbh I really liked the book about Venus, Rochelle and Robecca even if they are often incoherent with the main canon . The last two are among my favourite characters and I enjoyed reading Venus having a personality instead of just being the ecology activist girl background character for once, I mean even in Freaky Fusion where she's part of the main cast she still is not very developed compared to the others (only cool thing was showing more of her plant powers) and I loved her design as someone who used to collect the dolls in her teens, so I was disappointed to always see her being a background character in the movies and not having an actual personality outside of protecting the planet (and yes it's an important message but it's the same issue as making your gay character's only personality trait being gay. It doesn't make them compelling,it's just an aspect of them but doesn't entirely define a person). How did they manage to make a poison-ivy like character with a punk style boring in the webisodes and movies ?!

[@VintageCinnamon]

Yessssss I needed this today

[@thatponighoul]

What a fun video! I love discussing all of the different MH media...my ghoulness is there a lot of it. Also, I love that you encouraged everyone to read the diaries! They are genuinely so fascinating and soooooo much of the lore is hidden in those things! Oh and about the Lisi Harrison books, I'd definitely say if you don't *want* to read them, don't, but if you ever do feel like it and you go into it with the knowledge that they will be NOTHING like any of the other MH media...they're extremely entertaining, in the absolutely bizarre way. I do not like those books. But I do have fun reading them. 🤣 Keep up the fangtastic work! 💗🤣

[@Boogeyman4511]

Thank you! I'm a huge fan of your videos as well.

[@thatponighoul]

@Boogeyman4511 Omg I didn't even realize you'd seen my videos! Thank you so much 🩷 I've been meaning to watch yours forever but I always get distracted lmao 🤣 definitely going to watch more later though!!

[@chelseashamim9148]

You're back! 🥳

[@baihaqisodikin1416]

4:37 I agree, Toralei is the best in G3

[@OpticalSorcerer]

Definitely prefer Gen 1's canon. Always hated how Gens 2-3 always swtiched up Clawdeen's family and Gen 2 had main character syndrome by having the girls make MH instead of it being a longstanding school.

[@AutumsDiaries]

Yall wake up boogey posted!!!

[@seanalailima5929]

While Debi Derryberry's best voice Jimmy Neutron, G1 Draculaura is the cutest character she has voiced as Bubbles is for Tara Strong.

[@seanalailima5929]

Though also Diana from Sailor Moon and Cheer Bear.

[@Lopholillie]

"Thank you for the claw-some video BoogeyMansion" we all say with glee

[@QueenSharotto]

2:04 BONK! 😂

[@notsantea4126]

summing up modern canon: The writers of the new books / comics didn't do their work watching any of the movies and went with very basic information about the characters. (Which is kinda conflicting as a writer, you must do all your research before diving into a project) Monster High should've just said it was a new storyline lol

[@thatponighoul]

The author of the majority of the MH comics has actually been an MH fan for a while! As is the artist. It's not that they didn't do their research, it's just that they're in a different continuity. People will definitely agree or disagree with the choice to make it that, but the idea that the author and illustrator aren't MH fans is untrue. /lh /nm Honestly I think Mattel is the one who fumbled with the marketing, because they kept pushing them as the OG MH when in reality they were never intended to be that.

[@nxfelibata2403]

Yay new mh post

[@carlosceballosramirez1545]

Great video and agree with you on all the continuities and plot holes. The first volumes and the early diaries are probably in the same continuity to an extent and it can be explained by it being monster high establishing itself for the first time and not having a specific time line or canon events at the time. Volume 2, the movies and any subsequent diaries are probably same continuity. I absolutely hate the continuity following the twice dead book and the comics, they seem more like edgy fanfics and they write the characters completely different than what they're trying to continue from. And adding g3 elements makes more plot holes as well as including characters from other gens or even including characters that are not even around anymore in it's own continuity. They referenced Moanica from g2 and at the end of the book they implied normies are banned from monster high with some sort of magic but in the comics Jackson is seen at the school in his human form. The comics promised to continue g1 but it seems to be handled by people that didn't know the bare minimum about it. Also great video and would love to see a longer one about the diaries and the books.

[@Giuseppecoretti]

could you do " which Is canon in ever After High" next?

[@Boogeyman4511]

Will add this to my list of video ideas

[@frenchtoast4390]

Seems like every new piece of media is a new universe /j

[@QueenSharotto]

6:11 don’t you mean her adoptive father?

[@Boogeyman4511]

Yeah, but it's largely the same difference in my mind since Draculaura doesn't mention her real father that often.

[@KristenHaggerty-r5k]

I mean monster high and ever after high Easter eggs, their connected
