omg I didn't even notice

I only noticed when Karen's k wasn't backwards

i only realized when karen's k was stuck on correctly

You still did an amazing job! YOU GO GLENN COCO!! and Happy October 3rd!!!!

Its okay, the footage shouldnt even try to contest with your amazing script and editing! Thank you for the wornderful work!

That's why I love Karen so much. She wasn't even a mean girl... By that I mean throughout the entire movie, she's never done anything intentionally malicious to anyone... She just... Happened to meet Regina and ended up hanging with her cuz "why not" I love how it pointed out that unlike Cady, Regina and Gretchen, Karen never changes the entire movie. She doesn't change for the sake of others... She just stays her genuine self with or without regina... With or without Cady... Ect.

@@enevy3165 personally I think the only reason Regina recruited her is because Karen is very pretty, and that the school views her prettier than Regina but then Regina took her in and now Karen is forgotten now so that Regina could be queen B

@@candycandy6082 I actually think the same, Regina refers to Karen as the most beautiful girl in school, but then she says that everyone forgot about her because she is dumb and promiscuous. Regina befriend Karen because she was beautiful and if someone is beautiful has to be a plastic At least that's how I think Btw sorry for bad english, it's not my first lenguaje

That’s why she’s my fav

I think Regina befriends people who she thinks are prettier than her only to make sure that they stay socially below her.

Yes!! I love how even the extras has some background, in a way that cady (and the audience) know them a little bit, like in a school with many students are in a real life.

My favorite is the “unfriendly black hottie” being very friendly and nice to Regina when she compliments her skirt, showing that even the other “cooler” cliques fear the Plastics, and that Regina is ready to use the same tactic on her that she did Cady, a newcomer who wasn’t even part of a group at the time.

Me too! But also like how they don't have a different outfit every single scene. A shirt in the first scene can reapear 10 scenes later it's a subtle way of making the movie grounded

And the "she does car commercials" girl made out with hot-dog

Don't forget Glen Coco who sat in front of Cady each time they have an English class scene. You go Glen Coco!

@@starr2870 same. Messing with someone’s health like their weight is very bad.

@layla it was because of what janis suffered from Regina, Cady wasn't doing this for herself, janice pressured her to.

Honestly that line always confused me. I mean Regina is obviously rich, and it's not like weight gain to that extent would happen overnight, so why didn't she just buy other clothes?

@@bluebird1914 Probably didn’t want to buy anything that was too big a size. She shopped at 1-3-5 and from what we can tell, dieted to stay within that range

Good take

absolutely! and how she is somewhat more reserved and innocent than Regina, like the "innocent schoolgirl" trope

There is hint in the movie that gretchen is close to her dad/family, probably has a more traditional family and doesn’t want to disappoint them, so i think it also shows she is more conservative and traditional. regina on the other hand has an extremely liberal mom who doesn’t give any limits to her kids, bevause the relationship is inversed, the mom is afraid of the kids and doesn’t want them to dislike her

Good observation

i see what you mean, that makes perfect sense actually!

How teenage girls bully other teenage girls is pretending to be nice when theyre actually not just so they can get vulnerable with them and pick at their insecurities. Reveal their secrets and spread rumors about them A girls worst enemy is not the other enemy but her best friend Its that passive aggressiveness thats so subtle

I was psychologically bullied in school to the extent that I hated my body, my skin, my everything

Jen’sDollhouse same with me! It started in middle school. You could always tell because when you psssed by they’d be whispering and giggling to each other when you walked by, with that little side glance so you know they’re talking about you lol.

@@CA-vy8et aw man that happened to me too

In my case they also said things to me face to face.

The amount of my life that I fought against "femininity" is insane. Now pink is my favorite color and I've found my accurate self which is still somewhat masc with a light touch of femininity and cutesy because everyone needs to be themselves without trying to fit into some little box of what you believe is ideal.

So true. I always loved both feminine and non traditionally femine colors so I would dress based on my mood and whatever look inspired me that day. I had many friends and people at school say they hate pink or ask me if I was trying to "fit in" when I wore it. To me it was just a pretty color. I wore black most days though.

exactly!! i remember there was a time in elementary school when almost every girl myself included pretended to hate pink?? it's literally just a color but we weren't even aware why we were doing it. it's crazy how deep this rejection of femininity runs in girls.

right??? i mean there’s nothing wrong with being in touch with ur feminine and “masculine” side but i pushed it so much and mostly because i wanted the validation of my male friends and make it seem like i was “one of them” eventually i came to terms i love both! and i will mix it up a bit but yeah those times were tough...

Same lmao, now I'm grateful I grew out of it and opened my eyes that there's nothing wrong with liking or loving it. Anyway- Imma just share My favourite pink has to be soft pink, it's so pretty and cute ^-^

Exactly! Just because she doesn't wear pink everyone assumes she's a pick me girl. Like, no, it's just how she dresses.

regina also mentions “all of her hair was cut off and she was totally weird” about janis in the candy cane gram scene.

@@tokuko9027 Nah, it's not really how she dresses, it's more how she acts in my opinion

or......... she likes that style. I don't get why everyone is implying that it's a bad thing?

@@adriennepaige4003 It's not a bad thing. Personally, I love that style but I first got into it when my mental health spiraled. It's not just a cute style, sometimes there's a reason behind it. For example, Regina's style is super cute, but is she dressing that way because she wants to or because she thinks being a pretty blonde stereotype will make everyone love her? No matter what, it's a cute style, but it's interesting to see why they like it so much

Someone mentioned a theory that Karen was considred the most beautiful in the school at one point (maybe all the guys wanted to sleep with her) and Regina was threatened by that. So instead of absolutely crushing her socially and creating another Janice, she would belittle her here and there but keep her in the circle of power. I really love that theory.

​@@prettynpetty8342maybe that's why Regina called her a slut during the phone call !!

@dopa.mine- Or why Regina kept Karen under her thumb in the first place. Regina possibly felt threatened by all of the attention that Karen was receiving from the guys.

ik nobody asked but 700th like :D

​@@prettynpetty8342i mean that's the reason why Regina told Cady to sit with them in the first place. It was Cady's first day in school and a guy was already hitting on her right in front of them (Gretchen's ex no less). She felt threatened by her beauty and wanted to keep her close to do things her way

As a girl, yes definitely. But there have been times where girls (myself included) would just simply scream at each other. I say shit about people I don't like and am also mean (I'd say), but when I really snap I don't hold back and don't try to spread rumors.

It is but it's not an accurate representation of high school though, cliques don't exist and its mostly friend groups. Mean girls do exist but they aren't popular or rule the school. The passive aggressive bullying is however the same.

@@mr.worldwide4758 I feel like the mean girls in my school are pretty much hated.

and then when regina crashes the party and decides to get back her power through the burn book shes also wearing black and pink

Good observation

SoRandom Girl the colors are also inverted from the power suit. perhaps to show the new/different level of mean regina is going to take in the next scene

@@bestie9744 Black and pink seem to be the colors of power in the movie; pink is the most feminine color and is associated with sexuality, and then the black makes the pink come across more serious and 'meaner.'

Yes, black/pink on Regina is very important. Black is associated with power and strength: when they go the mall on Pink Wednesday, she's the only one who gets away with having a black clothing piece. It's like "yeah we wear pink, but I'm also wearing black to let you know who's in charge".

That's the point of Regina's character. She uses her words and influence to manipulate those around her. That charm is what she uses as a weapon.

It's lowkey triggering lol. Reminds me of how my frnds used to be like

I have no doubt they were. Gretchen is the kind of girl who comes from enough money and is obsessed enough about looking right that I wouldn't be surprised if she had a professional color palette skin tone consultation at some point.

Gretchen absolutely rocks her tan. Seriously, she's really pretty.

Damn, Regina's still insulting Gretchen even when she's nowhere near her LOL

Wow that's so spot on!! I Always wondered why she thought the skirt was so ugly when it seemed like a girl like her/of her group would love it

yeah I thought abt that aswell

i think the reason that she hated it is due to the fact that she revealed that this skirt was a hand-me-down, and not brand new. she acts above this because of her wealth

Yup

I thought she just straightened it to blend in more with the "Cool Asians," but that makes sense too😂

i just made ur comment 2k likes

maybe this can play into the Regina being possibly queer with lots of internalized homophobia theory, a reason why she had that respect could be because a possible liking to Cady. There are clues in the film that despite still being mean to Cady she liked her the most/viewed her as a little more than a minion in comparison to the other plastics, for example replacing her photo of her and Aaron in her room with one of her and Cady as seen when she rages in the burn book. She also didnt even care for Aaron until Cady liked him, which is her obviously her having that possessive nature but could also be hints of jealously

​@@user9391 No. Regina is rather the cool straight girl. And thank goodness rather.

I also think it might've been Karen was competing with Regina for "hottest girl in school". If there are girls who might upstage her beauty she'd rather have them as part of her clique so she can control access to them. Same reason she instantly recruits Cady.

Omg thats why ! I just thought that Regina thought that because of Janis being possesive

It's actually not because of the Lebanese thing. At one point when Regina talks to Cady, she clearly explains that she thought Janis was a lesbian because she was "obsessed with her" and "weirdly jealous" of her boyfriend.

TrEs 2b ur right and I do know that, I just felt like regina used both to her advantage when she started the rumors.

@@gabi4205 she could be lying so she wouldn't look stupid

That is great thinking, I also think that perhaps Regina gave some of her old clothing to Cady, so maybe it is originaly Reginas purse and Cady started using it just like Reginas letter necklese, Cady also started wearing her own letter necklese.

yup! mary jane (the costume designer) is positive that regina’s LV bag would be the real thing and cady’s a knockoff. she doesn’t think regina would give anyone ANYTHING, even if it was something she hated/didn’t wear anymore

@@ModernGurlz this actually is mentioned in a deleted scene. Cady encounters Regina in the restroom where Regina tells her she is very possessive of her things, and would never want to give away.

Unlike the other girls, it’s a lot harder to describe what Regina’s style is. Karen’s is childish and juvenile. Gretchen’s is posh and preppy. Cady’s is simple with blouses and jeans. Janis is goth/grunge/alternative. However with Regina her outfits have a lot of variation. Sometimes she’s wearing a power suit, sometimes she’s more revealing, and other times she just opts for a simple blouse. The clothes don’t make her - she has a fierce enough persona to define who she is.

We are all so insecure that if someone seems so confident in something, then we all might as well use it, the idea that "is not embarassing if i'm not alone/if she's confident on it", we crave the confort

Which video?

This is a good point. This way, they help her increase her popularity (because she is seen with other popular/attractive girls), but she keeps them in a mindset of submission to her (Regina), by tapping into their insecurities, as well as 'giving' them something to keep them there.

i mean they did hide it a lot more but you can plainly see it in revenge party with her solo at the beginning and all of the remarks she said throughout the rest of the song, i think she also apologizes/brings it up in i see stars but i still need to watch do this thing. i’d rather be me, while having a great message, is literally her being manipulative and telling the other girls that it was all cady and regina’s fault. it’s very hidden but to be fair you do have to think about it quite a bit in the movie too since it didn’t click until after i watched the movie

I don't know, I think musical Janis is pretty loyal to the original, as the previous commenter said, her words are very sharp and attacking in Revenge Party, and in I'd Rather Be Me she herself admits that she's played into their game and become just as toxic as the Plastics. They're both equally toxuc, it's just that musical Janis comes to realise this.

I don't know, she's still pretty mean in the musical - even if it's less so than in the movie - especially during and before Revenge Party, when she reveals her plan to take down Regina. (there are other points as well, like when she convinces Cady to spy on the Plastics, but the entire Revenge Party sequence is the best example I could think of)

I think the musical didn’t make her flawless, they just didn’t specifically call her out (she didn’t even apologize, which is disappointing)- I still think the movie Janis is better, but they didn’t change all of the toxic stuff she did.

That is quite disappointing

I'm pretty sure that she is "following" Cady in this one, because as we saw earlier, Cady was going to wear a flower themed dress for the Spring Fling Queen, and Gretchen ends up wearing a similar dress with flowers and an a-line skirt.

The dress is pretty similar to Cady’s spring fling dress - soft pastel color with translucent fabric, and floral themed.

Also maybe she wanted to look feminine and approachable in order to garner votes

I agree, it very much seems like a dress she picked out either only with Karen or by herself entirely. It doesn't fit her as well (Like not as flattering as her previous outfits) and is different from her usual style, I think it's purposeful but subtle even if it was a happy accident the whole time.

@@kathrynvincent1563 I'm imagining your mom in Blockbuster in 2006 see the DVD and thinking "Mean Girls? There might be girls that are mean in this movie. My child won't be watching this. She might become one of these 'mean girls' "

There is actually is a great educational program around this in Australia.

Netflix is the worst offender imo. So many movies try to emulate Mean Girls but none can come close to it due to the lack of grounding and thought behind them.

@@mevox True!

MEvox exactlyyyyy Theyre so bad

EXACTLY!!

This entire movie is a representation of teenage girls: beautiful, seemingly vapid and superficial, but actually quite dark and complex.

Yeah, same.

Oddly enough that skirt is totally something Gretchen would wear

Katie Chambers ur so right! Sorry Regina😌

That "ugly" skirt in the movie is actually really pretty or should I say fetsch

The Take had another interesting theory, saying that since Regina refers to Karen as being considered the "actual prettiest girl in school", she roped her in immediately to nullify her as a threat, the same way she did with Gretchen [due to her wealth] and Cady [due to her looks.]

@@tomemeornottomeme1864 Also, I feel like it reflects positively on her to have friends that are attractive or high status in some way. If anyone was going to be in her clique it would be the prettiest, richest, most feminine, etc. girls in her class.

@@tomemeornottomeme1864 I remember that from the ‘psychology of a dictator’ video. Dictators tend to target people who they see as powerful as both a bolster to their power and mystique, and also to keep potential threats in check. Regina recruits Gretchen because of her wealth and secret keeping tendencies, and Cady and Karen because of their appearances. Heck there was even a scene where Regina outright acknowledges Karen is pretty. Karen’s there because she’s well liked and a potential threat to Regina’s status as the queen bee.

@@yamato6114 definitely true I know a few reginas they only befriend the ones who are a threat to their power

yeah i was thinking that too. shes not actually a mean girl, the only reason why she acts that way is because shes kind of forced to by Regina. Have you seen the movie Heathers (1989)? Heather C is like Regina, an evil dictator. Heather D is like Gretchen, a follower who wants to please the dictator. and Heather M is like Karen, not actually a bad person, just someone who acts mean because thats what their friends are teaching them to do. in both movies, as the dictator starts to get weak and go away, the followers get nicer and start to act normal. this whole dynamic displays how people like Regina and Heather C can easily control people and change them in a bad way.

Agreed. Gretchen deserved a better ending. While her follower nature is played for laughs, it’s sad to see she’s been beaten down so much that she feels she needs to be someone’s minion just to have some sort of identity.

There was some thoughts about that, but there was also pushback because the film was too good and a sequel would ruin it. MG2 ended up happening anyways, but since the actors are different most people just ignore it. Personally, I think it would be good to have a movie with the same actors but who are different characters now. They could set it in college, or just make it a horror movie. I really wanna see Lindsay move on to drama and horror roles and voice-acting for her career.

And before moving back to the US, both parents were research zoologists. Not as great as a professor salary, but they definitely did well. Plus I’m assuming the dad also had a good job in Evanston too.

It's a classic!

A lot of people associate black with evil or badass. That’s probably why she wore a lot of it.

Fr it’s like she was made for Regina

She's the only one that can nail and play Regina George.

Why not!? Try it!....some people think you're too dramatic, but you feel amazing for wearing exactly what you wanted to so......

@@cRuchi96 I mean I want to, but I don't have that many clothes to begin with, and I can't dress as good as a stylist dresses a character. But I'll do my best. Thanks for the encouragement!

Sabrina C, the key to dressing good is great fit. Get your clothes tailored. Speak to a seamstress before buying clothes to know what size to buy so that your problem areas can be tailored, as you can always remove excess fabric but you can’t do anything about having not enough fabric. For a quick reference, don’t buy clothes where the waist is too short for your natural waist (unless you’re wearing empire waist style), and buy the size to fit your largest circumference. For example, if you have a large bust, get the baggy shirt to fit your bust. The shoulders and waist can be taken in and the shirt will fit nicely. Or if you have large thighs and hips, get the pants that fit very comfortably in that area and give you comfortable ease of movement, as the waist can always be tailored smaller. I know this is expensive, but it forces you to really consider what style you’re going for and organizing a colour palette that matches everything so that you can make the most outfit combos out of the least amount of clothes. You might not have a lot of clothes but you’ll look amazing in the ones you do. Also, if you choose to learn to tailor your own clothes as a way to save money, keep in mind that it’s still an expensive hobby. There’s a learning curve, and all the hours you put in for learning from your mistakes are the same hours you could have worked at a regular job and paid a trained seamstress to do it for you. That’s not even accounting the cost of materials (clothes you’ll ruin in the learning process), maintaining a working sewing machine, and buying new machine needles for every project. Furthermore, without a mentor, expect it to take a much longer time to learn going down the self-taught route. Only go down this path if sewing is a hobby you’re actually interested in. Good luck in defining your style!

@@hotjanuary I actually started learning sewing this summer and my grandmother is an amazing seamstress, and I bought some books this week, so I think I can do this! Thanks for the tips!!!

I wish I had the time and money to shop for cute clothes like that.

Il tuo inglese è molto buono. Non ti preoccupare. Complimenti 😉

And for royalty, she's the only one with purple in her color palettte

That was absolutely on purpose. :)

@@marisan8265 the costume department is indeed made up of people who have attention to detail and deeper thought process

@@meergoedemuziek grazie!!!ho sempre paura di fare degli errori di scrittura🙂😅

And it reminisces cadys original dress we see

Heck her comment about Karen’s vest being ‘disgusting’ just goes to show she doesn’t actually care about the beliefs she preaches. The rules are only there for her to lord her power over others.

Omg yes that's so smart

it's similar to the dress Cady was supposed to wear because she always imitates the queen bee

And it has a floral theme with a soft color, which is similar to what Cady was going to wear.

Try out Etsy or Not On The High Street! There are loads of customisable things, including bags!

i couldnt find m necklaces anywhere bc there are so many damn marias where i'm from

I had one as a kid! It was a tiny pastel pink purse with a purple M. Sadly I have a grandma that likes giving away my old stuff "because I dont need it anymore". She gave away the purse and all of my 2000s Barbie dolls

MOOD

I used my mother's that had an M and said it was for my last name 😂

Great point

You and I both will become one

I believe in both of you 🥺✌

It can happen.

this is one of my dreams too

YO why would you feel like it's never gonna happen??? If you start working towards it and keep telling yourself u can then u absolutely will I'll probably hire u on one of my movies one day ;^)
