That's exactly what this movie should have been. A parody of itself.

Exactly. This sucks.

same, I wanted it to be like the 80s show :(

Wtf

Mysfits were a good villan.

***** lol, nah, I'm a guy. I just happen to like heavy metal, and animation like the classic cartoons, Pixar, Dreamworks, and I like modern day animation, like My Little Pony FiM for example.

***** I have all 4 season's on DVD, lol

Rammstein45 Where is the magic robot?!!! Where is the orphans who she must save? Where are the Misfits who songs are actually better? I wanted cartoon madness and kitsch and camp and cheese in big spoonfuls.

Rammstein45 this is truly outrageous but not in the gem and the holograms way.

funkychoclatekitten Maybe they're trying to show how it all started?.. Jem and Jerrica before the tv show so they can be able to make more films because I don´t understand why you can make a movie about Jem and the Holograms and not include The Misfits in it... or the star earring :(

What ?!??! They really do that ?

86Akdmico Yes they did.

What's even more insulting is that you can tell that the fans were talking about the cartoon. Hell, there was a fan who had the show playing in the background.

P.Z. Arnott So true.

Not praising the movie. Praising Jem. Technically they didn't make it look like anything except people who were inspired by and talked about Jem... which is exactly what every video did.

They should had use at least the comic as source

+Sarah Baker Same here.

The original had actual holograms

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

+Maria Salazar This has been around long before Hannah Montana.

+.:+Mayhap-Mishap+:. how so? jem was a girl who has secret identity and whos doing this to support her family in this movie if you look at other trailers and interviews by the cast. and hannah Montana is a girl who wanted to be famous and still have a normal life. jem never asked to be famous in this version and the cartoon.

😂😂😂

+.:+Mayhap-Mishap+:. maybe so i can see that to but i knew of jem before hannah even tho hannah was when i was growing up

+kiara “beforehecheats21” smyth You are correct.lol in the original cartoon Jem and her band mates were much older and had more adult problems.Not petty ass teenage drama.

But then after the credits there is a surprise.

+kiara “beforehecheats21” smyth Wrong! Jem (The leader) goes crazy from too much exposure and publicity and ends up an alcoholic and serious drug abuser. Then she ends up killing her boyfriend who was going to try and get her some help. Feeling guilty about that she retreats back to her happy place of drugs and alcohol and overdoses. From there The Holograms go through life singing songs about their dead band member in honor of her memory for the rest of their lives. You were way off there buddy…XD

+UpturnTheUncool She also starts to wear plastic shorts and faux fur bathing suits... sticks her tongue out a bunch and twerks all over the place. XD

KitsuneNeko That's the exclusive director's cut version of what happens. You can only find that on the extended blu-ray edition so it's not really real! XD LOL

you are so right

so right

It seems like it , but then I actually watched the movie and I was very surprised

Yup. Movie was awesome. Refreshing.

It's because you haven't watched it yet

*still here* My childhood is fine thats because ive never seen the show lol

MrWhitekeith18 to put this in perspective Imagine if the Last Airbender was Made by Asylum pictures and directed by Uwe Boll

Ward Nightstone still alot better then M night Shyamalan doing it

marvdatboi LOL too funny, they do that a lot now

I 100% agree with you.

What is the cartoon about?

In the cartoon, Jerrica and her sister run a home for orphan girls. Just when they run low on funds, they discover that their recently deceased father (their mom died earlier) left them musical instruments and a sentient computer that can generate holograms to give Jerrica a secret identity (as well as generating different outfits for the others). Jerrica starts a band, the Holograms, and becomes 'Jem' when in public. When they get a contract, they have money to continue running the orphanage. Many of the episodes involve their rival band, the 'Misfits', trying to interfere with the Holograms and become more famous. One of the other recurring themes involves Jem/Jerrica working to make sure her identity remains a secret. None of this Hannah Montana, after school special crap.

When this trailer popped up on my search list I thought, "Wow! I wanna see what Synergy looks like in a live action movie!" Then I watched this... RIP Jem and The Holograms. You were a gem of the late '80s.

+TXRider I watch every show last year I was nine last year #1 NO MISFITS #2 WHERES SYNERGY #3 WHERE IS THE ORPHANGE #4 WHERE IS ERIC RAYMOND #5 ITS NOT LIKE THE CARTOON have they even watch the show. From the creators of pitch perfect. WELL HE/SHE NEEDS TO DO BETTER. Poor universal they need to step up there game

LittleImpaler I agree 100% First time I saw the movie, I was looking forward to see it, cuz of old memories on cartoon, that I used to watch on Happy TV. But when I watched it to the end, I was very disappointed, and the movie had nothing the original cartoon had at all. This movie was a bust

Panagiotis Almpanis that’s riggt.

Panagiotis Almpanis exactly the cartoon in my opinion was way better and that’s on period i love the cartoon way better

The cartoon was the bomb💗By watching the movie it brought me back when I watched the cartoon when I was 15 back in 1985...the movie on the other hand is good only for its singing and fashion🎟

It was probably too close to the original, since they did everything imaginable to make this nothing like the cartoon.

+Mitsuki Horenake Believe it or not, majority of villains in movies are male. There are less female villains unless they are henchwomen.

+kuririn1975 Actually Jem was a popstar...she was an 80s popstar. Back in the day pop music played around with rock sounds, but some of Jem's songs were very popish in the 80s.

+Amilliyon Smith She was actually 21-25.

sorafanchick Then they need to make it 80's pop then.

Flying Pig I wanna know what happened to the holograms?

BBBHuey There are no holograms... so why didnt they change the name. Wait. Why did they decide to do this on the first place?

***** SAME!! I was born Oct 18 1999 and I first saw jem and the holograms on the Hub channel (when it was called Hub) and I fell in love with it. One of the main reasons why I got hooked was because of Shana (I'm black). She was so real to me. She wasn't given straight hair a thin nose and thin lips. Also, she wasn't given extremely exaggerated features that black cartoon characters where normally given. Her nose was realistically wide, her lips were full and her hair was natural! The fact that they casted a mixed girl for the role of a full black woman is ridiculous to me.

Flying Pig Where's all the attempted murder that the Misfits tried on Jem!? Seriously... they should have been arrested on the first episode. lol

MariMoon Actually there are holograms. Do some research

83 episodes and her real identity was never revealed as I recall. And the series concluded, it did not get cancelled before a planned ending. Hell of a message of deception.

true !

People are only are going by what the trailer is about💥

agreed

@@rubyweymouth6843 Well, it has been 4 years. Most of us have had a chance to see the movie by now without paying the ridiculous ticket price.

ShartimusPrime I KNOW RIGHT?!!! XD

ShartimusPrime Longest trailer of my life.

ShartimusPrime Never expected a comment here from Shartimus, I doubt any of the other people even knows who you are.

Wow, what a surprise to see you here.

AND I ALMOST thought of seeing this

+Ride The Lightning no, it's called Hannah Montana

+Ride The Lightning I was totally thinking the same thing.And I didn't see any Misfits. The rival band... are they in this?

+Emily Crowley Josie and the pussycats and Jem were aired way before Hannah Montana was even born.

Destiny Banegas im not talking about timelines. -.-

Emily Crowley well Hannah Montana is like Jem.

turnd down for what

...no don't that would be insulting to your dog

Awesome comment, yes I know it is old. Xoxo.

Ok never buy this movie it is bad

They had us at the first half not gonna lie

A disgusting teenager soap opera😭

JEM!

+ALVERDA ROBERTSON Agreed. This isn't the same thing at all. They just took the Jem name and slapped it on a music movie.

+Rebecca Weller I agree wholeheartedly!!!

+MCrz2000 Sucks is an understatement!! It's a travesty to our childhood!!!

+ALVERDA ROBERTSON You're so right! I feel like Hollywood is destroying my childhood memories with all these awful remakes and movie versions of cartoons.

actuay me n my dad just saw it at 4pm 2day and it is better than u think so don't judge if u haven't seen it

Jered Perez They're hiding from this movie.

Jered Perez They've been forced to merge with Jem and the Holograms (they're more punkish in look and the group disbanding after the lead singer develops a huge ego sounds like a Misfits problem than a Hologram one).

Xander Harrison It IS based on the cartoon.

Cabhan Listis In names only. Nothing else is faithful to the original story.

Madame Fluffy It's based on the exactly original premise of the cartoon, minus the misfits and some other significant changes. Proof: In a hyper-linked social media age, an orphaned teenage girl, Jerrica Benton (Aubrey Peeples), becomes an online recording sensation, and she and her sisters embark on a music-driven scavenger hunt - one that sends them on an adventure across Los Angeles - in an attempt to unlock a final message left by her father. Aubrey Peeples, Ryan Guzman and Molly Ringwald star in the live-action musical adventure Jem and the Holograms, based on the 80s Hasbro animated TV series. Source: MovienewZ. 2014-05-20

Synergy is a girl rolly poley robot in the movie🎟

Totally agree it’s nothing like it

Yes...no 80's music but the singing is pretty good in the movie and I like the fashion👍

I thought about this...

Thomas Nethery I'm looking forward to Honest Trailers. :)

Or cinemasins would kill it

Everything wrong with jem and the holograms in f*ck me minutes or less

Jeremy Jahns: Jem and the Holograms is worse than Dogsh*t. It's nothing

Thomas Nethery yes, hahaha. He going to hate this. I just watch the cartoon in my toplop last week. I like it. I don't remember this went I was a baby in 1988 But, thank God watch it

Wonderful as all that is I'm amazed it's not the first worst movie... I've seen black and white b movies with better acting and plot structure. 15 thousand though, God even seeing a dime spent in this travesty is tragic.

+Da Boz Well, the three movies "above" it are Saw 10th Anniversary, Delgo, and Oogieloves and the BIG Balloon Adventure, so..... ;-) BTW, let's not get too excited - one of the big reasons Jem flopped is the studio clearly decided to "let it" flop, hence almost no marketing. And I'm sure the people who made it (John Chu and Jason Blum) are assuming that's the _entire_ reason it did so badly. They think it's a "good" movie, and are incapable of understanding that they have literally _killed_ Jem. This was the one shot we had at a Jem revival--the one shot at building it into a "franchise" like GI Joe and Transformers, and they blew it for everybody. They'll move onto their next projects, which will make 10 times their $1 million budgets, and will be "back on top" (well, the butt-end of the top, anyway) with Jem a distant memory. They are incapable of understanding that if this movie had been done the right way (and they had access to thousands of people on the internet who were desperate to tell them how to do it - they even claimed that's how they were going to make the movie, in case anybody forgot...) , it would have made much more money, because Jem fans would have helped. This is what happens when lying slimeballs make a movie out of something they have no interest in. Can't wait to see what the next one will be!

That's so sad! It's because of all of these close minded people! It was a really good movie and it deserved to win an Oscar in the kid movie or something!

+julia plescan ... There are truly no words for the kind of idiocy you're displaying.

+Da Boz She must be like 7 or something.

Pretty much.

MetalGamerGuy The Robocop remake was actually pretty decent. This on the other hand looks so so ass!

Billy Bong Thornton Do agree a little. I'd have to give it another watch.

BrundleFly Whatever! As if the original was an Oscar contender or something. It was a dumb fun action movie too.

I liked the new Robocop

Nicole M He's supposed to be a ''Fan''

Really? Because this trailer is telling me he never watched the show at all.

Nicole M M. Night Shyamalamlamla was allegedly a fan of the Avatar cartoon.

Maduin Argentus To be fair to M. Night, a lot of the bad decisions in the Avatar movie came from the producers, and he got saddled with a crappy cast. I doubt Chu has the same excuse.

No, Chu has absolutely no excuses for this.

Lila Andres am i wrong?

"the real Jem"? You mean the cartoon?

Blaise Telfer of course, DUH

up john chus butthole.

I suppose so XD

It's a magical adventure. Don't judge a book by its cover. Watch the movie.

If you don't like warm, charming, cute, uplifting, wholesome movies, this movie is not for you. If you think movie critics are somehow smarter than you and align with your taste, by all means follow their advice. For me, I tend to try things out for myself. And I liked this movie. But I worked at a family movie studio for 16 years and my judgment might be different than yours. To each his own. Hey, if you're looking for something more dark, check out Westworld. So good!

frakkintoaster Actually it has nothing to do with movie critics, it had to do with the fact they completely ignored the source material, and just because some people are ignorant to the fact doesn't make this movie any less crappy than it is. It's a bland, one dimensional story about a bland one dimensional girl going through an overused and boring series of events that have been done at least twenty times over before in equally shitty movies. There's nothing uplifting about a tired and overused 'coming of age' story if you just toss together a bunch of cliches and then slap the jem name on it like that makes it anymore original. I'm sorry but you're either 12 and ignorant to what quality is or just incredibly stupid...now go away.

DannyDankTv I was literally about to make this comment.

Kinglier this makes josie and the pussycats looks like the citizen kane of girl movies , is like they think "women are too stupid for science fiction , lest just find a way to sell then make up "

DannyDankTv Mmmmm.... Rosario Dawson... Trance... Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

DannyDankTv This looks like it takes itself too seriously, without the goofy self-awareness of Josie & the Pussycats.

Kinglier I was thinking the same thing too. Just reminds me of it. Hell, just re-release that into theaters, NOBODY WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!!!

Totally horrible isn't it! I was straight on the phone to dayna warning him. He's been looking forward to this for so long. What the hell were they thinking? It ain't jem.

Ian Titterington I know, why did they even bother. They weren't thinking that was the problem :-P

Mansell Ireland I so agree with you I loved watching jem it was the coolest cartoon, just watched the trailer and I have to say it's a joke what where they thinking. by the way love your videos you rock mansell.

Mansell Ireland the movie for Jem and The Holograms comes out on October 23, 2015!!!

***** Because Jem is a toy property from Hasbro and they have the right to make it whatever they want to be. They want to make films and they know that a film with a name that people already know is likely to attract attention and make money for them rather than if the movie was titled something else. That's the film business today.

please even 7 year olds would be offended by something as corporate pandering as this

I so agree jem and the earrings they could have made it Sci fi fantasy that's what the interesting part about her was her having two personalities with using the star earrings 👎🏾

+Rainy Jane I think many people here are scratching their heads trying to find an answer to that question that makes sense.

i never watched the orliginal jem. ive seen a few clips to know they have changed too much. they did the same with vampire academy. if it wasnt made after the cartoon it wloud be a great movie but it isnt what jem is.

I agree

Watch the movie...

Noelia Murillo the movie is so stupid

I personally loved it but to each there own I guess

Actually it's awful if you compare it to the cartoon educate yourself before you watch this movie please so you understand that they did a horrible job Jem is on Netflix

they didn't add Shana either

ikr?, when she was announced (and before i couldnt know the disaster this movie was going to be) i thought that she could be a perfect Synergy, ive really imagined her playing that part...

Juliette Lewis is the waste in this movie.

Juliette Lewis is a talented actress but I don't really like her roles in movies much😒She does play convincing rolls but over does it😒

+Joshua Anderson I'm really happy so many people express their disappointment in this, I mean I loved Shana too, she was a strong yet sensitive designer who played drums AND guitar, she was awesome. I don't know what's going on with what they got to play her in this travesty, it's like they went out of their way to find the farthest things they could think of to represent these characters.

they had a white tiana? you can't be serious. that's insane.

+Joshua Anderson I white Tiana at Disney on Ice. Thats a shame. At least she still has the movie. :/

+Joshua Anderson That is exactly what I was saying watching this trailer, where is Shana?! Is it that hard to make women of colour feel celebrated in movies these days, especially for little girls! :(

+Valeska Yeah, that Aja isn't even looking quite Asian, there.

I know this makes G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra look like a masterpiece that followed its source material

I've never watched the cartoon, but even I know this 'movie', isn't as good as the cartoon.

I agree 100%

I still find the fashion and singing good in the movie...everything else is not so good👍

@@cosmiceggs2385 No comparison💥

Arthus850 It's been confirmed. Synergy is a small robot that produces holograms. It's at the left of the screen at 00:16.

tsntana Alright, they got that part right, but the rest of the trailer does not give me hope, and even if it is better than we expect it to be, the one thing that made the transformers movies hits was Transformers' massive following, but Jem's following isn't nearly as big, so this will likely bomb.

Your right, they even forgot the stingers the misfits and THE JEM STAR EARRINGS

+Arthus850 I think there was a part in the trailer where Jem says to her earring "Synergy, it's showtime"-- but I think in this film Synergy is supposed to be her producer or something (a person, probably the woman who had made her a star in this trailer)-- and the earring was probably a communication device. I don't think the film adaptation should be one-to-one with the original, but this is far too different; I think when we hear 'Jem' the first thing we want to see is magical transformation...

+Iren Zayas That have the earings

Hopefully not.

No!! It Jem and the holograms was a cartoon a long time ago! So no it's not another Hannah Montana!! It can't be! The cartoon is way older than Hannah Montana!! And it was a good cartoon too! To before U say something check ur dang facts!!

Segin Lee Uh....I KNOW it was a cartoon. If you'll look at my user name, you will clearly see i was alive during the time of the original show's run. I also remember how Jem was a cartoon that involved evil people trying to take over the world and Jem going on adventures and a band called "The Misfits" who constantly tried to upstage the Holograms in order to be more famous. ALSO, a computer called "Synergy" that would transform Jerrica into Jem. I was telling a joke because this trailer is CLEARLY not using any of the things i listed before and is almost making this exactly like Hannah Montana was: A teenage girl who becomes a pop sensation and has to live two separate lives and deals with basic teenage stuff instead of evil bad guys.

Yes.lol THIS MOVIE IS BEEEEP!!!!!

Bitsy83 Jem came first. 1986 comes before 2006...by 20 years.

+Vibe Create I'm fully aware of what was said and like I said before, Jem was released in the 80's therefore making it impossible to copy Hannah Montana.

+Vibe Create but I do agree with the adding the Jem brand thing

+DaLaMc1 Talk about missing the point...

+Vibe Create I do not know why people compare this to Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana lived with her dad and brother. From age 12 to 18 she had a great career.The show ended with her going to College. She was never part of a band. This movie is nothing like that. It is also nothing like the real Jem.

+JanderVK the way I'm interpreting it is a bunch of tweeners are posting thinking Jem is new. but that's why we all have different brains because we all have different opinions. so...

Derek Fields Thing is, even that trailer made that movie look good. I'm willing to bet more people went to see that movie than people will go see this one. Maybe they were disappointed afterwards, but the trailer did its job and got people to see it. I'm not so sure about this one.

I think the Last Airbender was even worst than this is going to be. That movie was complete crap. An offense to Avatar fans everywhere.

+Derek Fields You'd think Hollywood would've learned their lesson by now.

+Derek Fields Oh I feel it too. It feels worse to me, because at least Shyamalan tried. It seems to me, in this case, they blatantly ignored trying to appeal to fans of the show. Rather, aimed for where they think the money is at.

Nope

Can't be as bad as the lead in the new Cinderella Story movie- still can't believe that they made more movies beyond the first one with Hilary Duff

I agree. I was so disappointed and insulted after watching it. Luckily, Hotel Transylvania 3 turned all the dissapointment into excitement

I've been pissed since last year witnessing this mess coming together. Gotta say they did not fail to disappoint me. This is exactly the crap I expected it to be. I guess the director thinks girls are too stupid for sci fi. Even though my oldest Daughter is on of the highest ranked Female gamers.

Totally agree with you! I am so angry also! I was thrilled when I knew this movie was gonna come out...and know...not so much, I just hope that another company takes the challenge and make this movie right for respect to the fans

They absolutely don't. I cannot believe Christy Marx & Samantha Newark (especially her) support this when clearly it isn't related to the original Jem cartoon in the least. Sadly, I think the fans upset over the casting, to how the director & producers handled publicity at the expense of people thinking they'd be cast really won't be all that surprised by the quality of this with the trailer alone.

Christie Marx wasn't even brought in on the project. No support from her, she didn't even know the movie was being made. This movie looks like shit. Hannah Montana, Justin Bieber shit!

AliceDorthy Well, it is from the Director of "Never Say Never", so yeah, it's shit

Chill out man why can't we all have a little fun something rises without other people complainting

anime fanatic I don't mind creative liberties , but it bothers me (at least by what this trailer is showing) that the unique core elements that made Jem what it is are being taken away. Then, in its place appears to be a horribly cliche plot that lacks any awareness of how cliche it really is. So even if I tried to see this trailer as its own thing (with Jem's name removed) I can't see myself liking this (I'll admit the GI Joe movies are a guilty pleasure of mine XD).

Have you seen this movie? You seem like you really dislike the trailer more than the actual movie

anime fanatic Trailers SHOULD make me want to see the movie. Ignoring the whole issue of how little or much it is like Jem what is shown in this trailer as its own thing looks horribly clichéd and uninspired. If it ends up that there is a great deal more to the movie than this trailer then I will blame the makers of this trailer for making the movie look like utter garbage.

oh i see :D well you have a good point anyway :) and you seem smart XD

Meshall M they made shana some super lightskin chick with no afro lmao and "synergy" is some wall-e looking robot lmfao! the stingers aren't even in here (and no raya too) and no misfits either, just like a cameo of pizzazz or some ish lol. this movie is gonna be absolute garbage

tokyoterrorart lol, even the trailer is terrible!

She pops out a few times in the movie🎟

I know! This was a chance to bring something different and fun to the big screen! Especially with retro being very "in" lately! I especially hated the songs used in the trailer, they're so generic! Why not give us music from the actual show!

willie weasel Shame on them for even making this movie! You can't make a Jem movie without The Misfits and Synergy!

IKR They destroyed it, it's just so typical

Or dreamgirls

Glenn Webb Showgirls was more entertaining than this.

Thank you for saying that. This really hurts me, because you speak the truth. Our Jem (1980's) encouraged, this one discourages.

AliceDorthy What did it encourage? Making up an alter-ego for no reason? I think you might be taking Jem a bit too seriously and not noticing that the premise was pretty silly.

yup, and it's always the shy girl with a boring life, so if you're actually outgoing and have a good life, don't worry, you won't be a star

Sara Rodriguez She doesn't really come across as shy.

What? Zuko is way better than her trash

HOW DARE YOU INSULT ZUKO BY COMPARING HIM TO THIS TRASH

HOW DARE YOU BLASPHEME FIRELORD ZUKO?

HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY BAE ZUKO

PUT HONOR AND RESPEK ON ZUKO'S NAME 😂😂

Probably a few have, but not enough to warrant a bigger budget to make a more faithful adaptation of the cartoon. I'm sure Hasbro meticulously researched the box office potential of a Jem film. They didn't even really want to do one until the director raised funds via crowdfunding, which is never a lot of money. Filmmaking is always a long, risky financial venture.

RocStarr913 IDK, I think they were wrong about the potential of this movie. My daughter just started watching Jem on Netflix and she loves it and made me sit down to watch it with her. So when I saw this was being made I got hyped for her. And then this trailer... no we will not be going to see it. Jem is like Lady Gaga or Nicki Minaj mixed with Charlie XCX they could have really went big with this one. I for one would have loved being able to purchase the dolls and accessories. Last year for Halloween and Christmas I spent hundreds of dollars on Frozen dolls, costumes and related toys. I would gladly swipe my credit card for a band of multi-cultural dolls who rock. I would have loved to dress my daughter in full on 80s glam for Halloween. This movie does not seem to be for children, or the 80s babies who loved it. So who are they marketing to? Tweens? I hope even they don't fall for this. Transformers and TMNT, despite their shortcomings still made movies that were recognizable by old fans and got a whole new generation excited about the characters. TMNT and transformers toys are big sellers so I don't understand why Hasbro wouldn't want to give girls super cool heroes like Jem and the Holograms to play with.

I think they gave Hasbro the finger and did whatever they wanted to do to make it however Universal wanted to.

michikodesu not only Hasbro but Christy Marx as well.

michikodesu What "little girls all over" do you know??

Eh the 80s was already a crappy time to begin with nothing special well a few things anyway

***** Congrats! You now know how YOUR parents felt about your generation and their parents felt about your parents generation and so on and so forth.

***** nahhh i would not step foot in that decade

MrWhitekeith18 I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you weren't even alive during the 80's.

Soooo true👍I still like the singing and fashion in the movie🤗

LMAO!!!!

You sir have won the Internet

Lord N3m3Sis® Not a living one anyway.

He killed her, this movie seems to reveal what drove him to madness.

💀💀💀💀 ROFLMAO!

noodleinmybarf Just go down the comment section and count how many times someone asks, "Where's Shana???". You'd pass out if we made it a drinking game.

+MrButtsavage17 Yeah, honestly at the very least, 2016's "Ghostbusters" was watchable, and actually HAD Ghostbusters. The "Jem and the Holograms" movie is a chore to sit through, and has ABSOLUTELY...NO...JEM.

I made 10 youtube accounts just to dislike the trailer ..

what's wrong with ghostbusters? I thought it was hilarious XD

@@crazyformyself9773 ikr

LMAO

***** i know huh...sh****

***** There IS no Synergy in the movie for no good reason because the universe is an awful awful place.

***** I'm betting Synergy, in this case, is a nickname for the band.

Madame Fluffy Or just their make-up artist seeing as Syngery is who allowed them to look different in a flash.

YourAverageGirl Maybe.

She, or rather *it,* is the thing that looks like Eve from Wall E at 00:16 on the lower left hand corner of the screen. That is 51N3RGY. 🤦‍♀️

John P Those who haven't seen Duff's video, be sure to watch the "Fan Demanded Version".

Agreed

John P Hillary Duff wasn't even alive when Jem and the holograms was on TV...

Afmedic85 Neither were the Jem fans on Steamfaerie's channel. They're actually younger than Duff. :)

Doesn't surprise me...

Please excuse my spelling errors, in my angry rant.

Amanda Mauck It's like they modeled this version of Jerrica after the girl from Twilight.

Robyn Robotron Shit! You're totally right!

There's still time!!!!!!

***** Don't read it. It's just a dumb date comic for otakus. Jerrica and Kimber have been trying to date for the past 3 issues but they're really shy. ^_____^ It's garbage.

***** Do read it. Just because Kimber likes Stormer doesn't make it bad.

Advanced Techniques Institute how did you know that information though hahaha

Posey That's not why it's bad. It's that all there is going is Kimber and Jerrica going on dates for 3 months. That's not interesting, and that's not worth 3 comics to tell.

Advanced Techniques Institute In fact, Kimber hasn't even got a date with Stormer yet. And this is not a background plot, it's basically all there is to the story.
