Brenda isn’t stereotypical, she’s iconic. And she needs her own film. Cindy can show up as a cameo

@multifandomedbutgirlsgener8913 4 жыл бұрын

Tai Infante thing is she was supposed to be the stereotype, cuz Scary Movie was parodying horror movies, but she did so amazingly that Brenda will forever be iconic

Regina is incredible! She could easily carry an entire ''Scary Movie" by herself entirely! in fact, I sincerely hope she does get one as the main character! that said she does have excellent on-screen chemistry with Anna Faris, the way they play off each other is just iconic though neither exactly needs the other for it to work out!

From all of the Scary Movie franchise, the two most rememberable characters were Brenda and Cindy. The two, in my opinion, pushed the entire franchise a couple of notches of comedy up. Also, they made it re-watchable for people like me. Those who don’t like to watch a movie they’ve seen already.

She is such an incredible actress. Her comedic timing is perfect and she is equally as good in serious or dramatic roles. Nobody could play the part of Brenda as good as she did. She brought the character to life. Every time I watch those movies again I think how I would love to be Brenda’s friend. Regina doesn’t get the credit she deserves. She is so incredibly talented while also being so down to earth. Even in interviews she draws you in with her magnetic personality.

Regina is such an underrated actress. She's excellent in all the roles she played. She stole the show in all the Scary Movie series and she effortlessly blended into other serious roles without being typecast as just a comedy actress. I do hope she gets more movie lead roles as she would do them justice.
