Are we expect to see the "Bad Boy" trope? because I've no clue/idea on why most female viewers loving bad boys but like the infamous saying: "Nice guys finish last." But that said the BB trope must not be glamorized/worshiped.

Just want to say to the team who compiled this. You did an excellent job in all aspects. Well done.

PLEASE ! PLEASE ! PLEASE ! PLEASE ! Do "Catherine the Great" HBO series

what movie is 3:13??

I signed up for the supposedly "free trial" with MUBI and they IMMEDIATELY charged me anyway. They also have this weird/difficult to find disclosure on their website that states that they will not refund you your money under ANY circumstance. I get that you guys are getting paid by them, but their business practices are unethical. Avoid signing up if you haven't already. You WILL DEFINITELY be charged, plus you can watch most of their movies elsewhere. They don't have a decent or unique selection of films to choose from.

@@britt1953 I don't get the logic. If you typically hate mean people, why would you even have a friend, or stay friends with, a mean girl? Aren't you usually only friends with people you like?

@@luciddreams7540 I think it's that you get to see more to them than their being mean. Personally, I somehow became friends with someone who could be considered mean(more like snarky tbh).

But I usually won't come to that conclusion after one interraction

Everybody is talking about troy and sharpay but i cant remeber who troy is. On the other hand, i clearly remember Sharpay

Totally true

I agree. In the musical she gets to sing “I’d rather be me” and I don’t think she earns it. In both the Musical and the Movie she acts like a victim when she gets ‘screwed’ over but really she is absolutely using Cady to destroy her own enemy and she gets mad when she doesn’t immediately change the system. I think Cady should sing the song because that’s the lesson she learns. I think they only have it to Janis because Barret Gilbert Weed has such a set up fandom. Sorry. Rant.

She does admit to Cady in the movie that "at least Regina and I know we're mean, but you pretend to be so innocent."

In my opinion she was more mean to cady than Regina was, Regina actually had interest in cady whereas janis just wanted to use her from the start to be mean to Regina lmfao

@@indiamarie2952 But her master plan wasn't initially to use Cady. They WERE real friends until the lunch table scene.. when she figured out she could use Cady

yup. And there’s still people who don’t think pretty privilege exists

Well she's not wrong

🤷‍♀️i mean i get free stuff most of the times the funny😂 part i never even asked for them to begin with👀she's 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙖 telling the truth 😪except the part where i'm not rich💔

Sharpay manipulated the audition & treated her own brother badly. She acts like she was the right for the musical.

I'm not saying that Sharpay was perfect but Troy has been going under the radar for way too long!!!!

NPC Trailer Switch, Celebrity NPC I never said it has to do sexism tho 🤨

@NPC Trailer Switch, Celebrity NPC LMAO That wasn't my comment.

Lais Frederick bruh srsly, her own Brother betrayed her and get her off her own show so that Gabriella and Troy could sing together after all her training. How did she treat her own brother badly? Yah she’s bossy but that does not make u a bad sibling. She didn’t manipulate shit, she was just really defensive about it since she was the co president and her and her Brother are the only 2 people that were passionate about acting, not just a hobby to them. It says it all on the wiki. She was furious when Gabriella got the part cuz that was what she was passionate abt and some new girl that is not even passionate abt it, and turned up late , and got the part. Who wouldn’t be mad?

And in the end she earns the future she wants. Sharpay gets her own movie and in it becomes the actress she always wanted to be.

the real villain in those movies was Troy. Don't change my mind. He kept ruining stuff for everyone, especially in the second movie, just cause he wanted to get his dick wet or sumn.

Seen MatPat’s HSM theory, believed it, Stan it!

@@KookiesNolly The real villain is Chad

Kay Hope What did chad do?

Yeah! And they embody the same good characteristics of the mean girls, such as confidence and ambition. Cher for example knows how to get good grades just by convincing the teachers she deserves more. I know high schools give good grades for those who get the answers right, but I think her way of managing people shows lots of charisma and interpersonal intelligence

PREACH

Yep, good intentions and don't have long term pent up anger. Mentally stable stuff. Sadly, the only way I can do or achieve that is get away from society, or take time for my self to get away from public judgement for some time. Irony thing is, this covid quarantine stuff makes my mental health feels better. Though I actually like being social and hang out with others, but when people start to categorizing me and somehow I feel I'm not like their good expectation (their attitude changed towards me), my mood start to downhill. In the end of the days, in these society chaos, I just want to be a good person, and remain to be a good person until I die.

Yeah they're the top tier queen bee. So beautiful both outside and inside

Not idolizing, but admiring.

Yeah. Basically because the movie is based on a book (Emma), where the main character is a matchmaker, I guess she was meant to be a girl who was bored, not angry, and also, good. She noticed the people in her life (her teachers, her best friend relationship, the outcasts such as the newbie and the skater guy) and how they had great and different personalities. When she got bored, she didn’t bully others, she helped raise food and supplies for those involved in that storm. She was a good person!

@@malenadraper8805 Wow, I didn't realize that! That's actually so cool to see how a character like Cher with those same characteristics channeling and using her talents for good. It's refreshing.

Hello sorry for my bad spelling here is what I mean Like if you want to empower, have some good movies on this like kll bill or blade. Also female hero movie existed for 40+ years and not all had revealing clothing and these did not flop. So do not act it is the first female hero movie and plenty of men liked it and by the sjw logic why did kll bill or the mother in star wars like alien movie not flop buy why by your logic, thethe 90s was more mysoginist than 2018? Also sure some trolls did ruin bop and CMvl but why? Sure some dislike women but like why did they not ruin black widow, Suicide Squad and Manny other female lead movie of 2019 and 2020 or openly say they are intolerant just like in the 2016 and 2012 election. Because troll hater her because of something If you just want a good movie then black panther Supergirl's batman or captain America will do but will not be empowered cu it is unrealistic however like all bill and blade are empowering. Also disliking feminist movies does not mean you hate all feminist because people might think movies on the ocean or ALTA are bad but that does not mean you hate either of them. And a strong female lead movie has to have a strong female lead but a fmeinist movie can have a male lead because men can be feminist and it just need stong women and a equality narrative. Like if you make a female lead movie with a budget of 20$ or For example, Harly quin is a stereotype of women and Captian marvel is unrealistic. and people hate it. it is because of this or that, not because it is female lead Also this is one of the reason people like Margaret Thatcher and Obama got elected because if you do call everyone who did not vote for you offencive people will not like you. And people will think you are either extreme or consented more on apercances and if you wan to find out who is offencive, find the political views of the audience. Also just because you made a feminist movie does not mean you are immune to criticism and everyone who did not like it is biggoted because then everyone who did not vote for Obama and the entire democratic back in 2008 and 2012 was offensive.

That's what I didn't like about Clueless. It was like Barney the Dinosaur for teenage girls. There was no mean sprited conflict for me to get interested in.

​​@@llamasarus1Yes. That is precisely why I am not interested in viewing the 'Clueless' Film. Rather.

Serena wasn't really mean, she was selfish. everything she ever did was for her own benefit and impulse.

@@twice_velvet yes and people constantly fought for her. She didn't have to lift a finger, unlike Blair, because she knew people would fight for her.

Monica Creator that's probably one of the most frustrating parts of gg

I hated Serena so bad! Blair at least made huge efforts to get what she wanted while Serena was miss perfect and got away with everything

I agree in the later seasons, but when they were all still in high school Blair was pretty much a bully and made people feel like sh*t for no reason. Serena could be a real bitch but I feel like when she was mean to someone, she had good reasons.

Mariana Torres agreed

Watch film theory!!

Girl, yes!

I'm saying it louder for the people at the back... WATCH FILM THEORY... - @Katie Cubbedge

Mat Pat got there first.

Nope! I still believe Sharpay is the bad guy as an adult. Your excuses for why she isn’t the bad guy makes no sense. First, Troy & Gabriella were just passionate about theatre. Troy went to college so he could play basketball & be in musicals. Gabriella was partly sad about leaving high school bc she was going to miss being in musicals. However Sharpay got easily mad at them for being interested in the same thing as her which was unreasonable. It’s ok to be ambitious but to be downright demeaning, rude, disrespectful, and irritating is not ok. Second, the way she treats Ryan is unacceptable. She treated him like he was a sidekick and wasn’t as talented when Ryan was able to write & choreograph an entire play by himself at just 18. She also got mad at him when he called her out on her awful behavior and wasn’t understanding when he started developing passions in life that didn’t revolve around her. Sure her giving her award to him was alright but it was Ryan’s award to begin with since she did nothing to deserve it. Also even after that small show of kindness she doesn’t learn from her mistake and changes her ways. Instead she goes back to being a bully and treating Ryan like a sidekick. Honestly if you believe Sharpay isn’t the bad guy in HSM obviously you didn’t watch the movie correctly.

True.

I've always loved Sharpay

nah, i loved sharpay ever since i was a kid

@ROSE ARWEN MARGARET R MIRASOL what? My point was Sharpay is the bad guy in HSM. Ambitious or not she was still a mean person

She was mean, sneaky and manipulative. She did her brother dirty.

well if someone that didn't even care about theater was better than her in t h e a t e r then she was not that good

actually troy was the worst

@@giovannaflorentin5207 he really was

@@ixzhel3699 honestly everyone was behind Gabriela and Troy once they made it "cool." I think that's why they did so well. Nobody paid attention to Sharpay because they just didn't generally pay attention to theater at all. You get me? But I just root for both sides of the story.

Absolutely.

Honestly out of all the teen flicks out there, Cher was probably the most realistic portrayal of the rich popular girl. At least in my experience in high school anyway, most of the popular girls are relatively nice, smart, and hard working. Worst case scenario, they may be a little stuck up, but for the most part, they're pretty nice people. They're just like everyone else though, and I don't think anyone at my school found them untouchable or anything like that. I'd say that that there were plenty a mean popular girls (more Regina George-like rather than Cher-like) in elementary or middle school, but most of them ended up not nearly as popular as they transitioned into high school. Mostly because as kids get older, they no longer want to deal with their bullshit I'm guessing.

Yes. She's a smart blonde

I agree. Clueless was a really fun and interesting modern retelling of Jane Austen's "Emma". They did an outstanding job with that film and with Cher's character.

THIS

elChihuahua which doesn’t always translate into the real world. For example Unlike her character Miranda, Meryl Streep is so widely loved in Hollywood because shes a professional who’s dedicated to making a great working environment. Even in bad experiences she doesn’t bad mouth the people around her, which is (one of) the reasons she got the reputation of the actress everyone wants to work with

"They all want me as a friend or a fuck. I'm worshipped at Westerburg...and I'm only a junior."

@elChihuaha I don't just think this is what media tells us, it's also what society tells us as well. That in order to be successful you have to be mean, ruthless, cunning, and cold. It's the reason why audiences celebrate anti-heroes such as Tony Soprano, Walter White, and Don Draper while completely missing the point of those cautionary tales. Mean girls in media and in real life may receive more vilification than their male counterparts due to sexist/chauvinist society but I don't think we should fool ourselves into thinking they don't actually exist. Or that mean girls are something girls and women should aspire to be let alone make excuses for them, however if lived experiences tells them you have to be cruel in order to get ahead then nothing will convince them otherwise. So yeah, you shouldn't have to be mean in order to be successful, but the real world may disagree.

who

There is a between Cuz im both

Inés Marco my dad is Nigerian and he told me that the mean girls at his school were the Prefects and if they didn’t like you you would get straight bullied. Idk how it is now because that was back in the early 70’s

Here in Mexico is like they're superficial, but also atlhetic, still they at first are like "yeah we like you" and then they just tell you awfull things out of nowhere and everyone is like "your're right that person is a weirdo", so i think they get in the "mean girl" trope ?

Je pense ça doit dépendre de l'époque, parce qu'à partir d'un certain moment la culture française s'est assez américanisée (dû justement aux films/séries, etc..) Et on a pu constater quelques similarités avec la "société américaine" représentée dans ces médias avec la société française présente aujourd'hui.

Idk about that one linda

Forever _Kawaii just been my experience

I actually found "the mean girl" to be more present in my workplaces than high school. At every workplace I've been at there's been the one who lies and fearmongers to keep everyone scared and in line while still upholding this image of sweetness. In high school it was a lil more mixed and matched and there was no clear "mean girl".

There were definitely "mean girls" at my schools. There was even a burn book hidden in my middle school bathroom. But these girls weren't just mean. The one thing they all had in common was that they were overachievers. They were honors students and active in the school and community. I firmly believe that they behaved the way they did as a way of trying to keep a stranglehold of control. Some girls become bulimic, some become bullies.

Kenneth Gray you’d think adults would be above bullying

Yup! And the best is when they're more than just mean girls, it gives their character a whole other level of depth which makes them more interesting than the "goody goody ms. Perfect" protagonist

Parps yes right? I like how complex they are and most of the time have a background story

Seconded, I wish that more stories could have the Mean Girl be the protagonist, and show what REALLY makes them tick. Their antics are usually more entertaining than our heroine's, most notably Sharpay from the "High School Musical" trilogy. 👛💄💅

It’s simple. Antagonists push the story along. The protagonist normally just goes along for the ride for most of the way.

Same here. I remember back when I was a little kid where everyone else loved Simba, I loved scar. Where everyone else loved the little mermaid I loved Ursala. Where everyone else loved Batman I ADORED the Joker and Harley Quinn especially in the animated series.

Some mean girls are loners

idk i don’t like mean girl tropes cos they’re always presented as the ‘cool’ one so other girls wanna be that and end up being mean

@@amberf3044 yeah ur totally right!!

@@amberf3044 I agree.

@Cara Marais same with mine

Indeed!

I view "coolness" as being distinct from being useful. "Coolness" is all about having the right hair, the right clothes, the right attitude, etc. It's never about being kind, decent, generous, loyal, smart, empathetic, tender or merciful. If you have proper self-esteem, you don't give a flying fart about being "cool" because coolness is, at bottom, a superficial goal for shallow people who can't see past their nose jobs.

It has been said that what a mean girl says about anyone who doesn't fit "the mould" says more about her than it ever will about them.

Abuser are narcisstic and will fake being victim of abuse as well I'm not falling for that bullshit fuck them

That is true. Blair have been shown to be insecure. Yes she can be confidence but in reality she's insecure about her abilities.

Savanna 77 she is the only “mean girl” that I rooted for lol I wanted her to be happy so bad

The whole show was mean, spoiled people. And a generation of girls idolized these women... Lots wrong with society.

sleeuka the thing is your right they are spoiled extremely spoiled but the reason i personally like this show is it shows luxury has a price and you see these people go through so many real problems especially Blair i mean her dad left her mom for another man her bestfriend had sex with her bf and left to boarding school without a word she has a eating disorder and obvious anxiety from the pressure put on her and even went through an actual depression so yeah they are spoiled and can be mean but a lot of girls can relate to blair because of these very real problems she goes through during the show and how much she grows like she has crazy good character development so i don’t think people should be very quick to judge her

That's because she had a lot of other qualities they wanted...Ambition, beauty, fashion sense, power. So they excused her bullying and how she tormented the other people for no reason. Blair is honestly a horrible character.

Because she one of the few characters that became less mean as time passes.

Trina Q I never really considered Claire a mean girl in the traditional sense but in hindsight she definitely fit the description - good catch

@@trinaq by...moving the callback date to make it impossible for her to both go to her academic decathlon and the callback? by making numerous passes at her boyfriend and ruining a good chunk of their summer vacation? by committing fraud and accepting an early graduation program without gabriella's input at all?

Michelle F yeah this sharpay defense thread is a bit weird. She was definitely a bully. She treated her own brother like shit sometimes lol

Agreeed

Even if Sharpay could be considered a “mean girl” she’s probably the most tame one out there. Like yeah she did some bad stuff, but I don’t think she ever really crossed the line into life ruiner like a lot of others. Making the callback date to the same day as their other events is kind of crappy, but really if you’re going to be part of theater you need to be committed 100%. You can’t miss practice or performances because you have somewhere else to be and odds are their other events would have clashed with theater practice at some point. You especially can’t be the damn lead role and miss any practices. The idea of someone like Gabriella who hates having attention drawn to her and has no theater experience be a lead role over someone like Sharpay who’s been doing this her whole life is kind of ridiculous in the first place. For the whole hitting on Troy thing, that’s also crappy, but she was pretty nice about trying to get him to like her. Even with the restrictions of it being Disney, Sharpay could have tried to make Gabriella look bad like most boyfriend stealers do, but she didn’t. She tried wooing Troy with an opportunity to get into a good college and a job, she was trying to make herself look desirable, not drag her competition down or blackmail Troy. Plus, all she wanted in return was for Troy to perform a song with her, that really doesn’t sound unreasonable to me. I’d say that Sharpay’s biggest flaw was mistreating Ryan, but I also think that they went too far by ruining her chance to go to Juliard. They messed up her life long dream out of petty revenge. She might have deserved to be embarrassed and taken down a peg, but she didn’t deserve to have her chance at her dream college ruined. So yeah I’d say Sharpay is mostly just too self centered, but I also blame the HSM writers because she seems to learn to be more considerate every movie and then goes back to being selfish again in the next movie because they can’t think of a new “villain”

Thank you! I see far too many people online asking us to see the "mean girl" as the victim when the damage she does is real and lasting to us Lesser Thans. The pressure to conform to what you term "toxic femininity" that ultimately perpetuates patriarchy and classism is absurd, and those of us that rebel have to sit here enduring people telling us we're trying to be the "not like other girls" trope.

Elby Woggit right! It’s like I wish the former mean girls well, but they’re responsible for their own healing and their own actions. A victim is not meant to have their healing hinder on the whims of their abusers.

I came here to mention her aswell. The perfectly redeemed mean girl.

Yes I was waiting for her to be mentioned!

I used to think she was so mean until I watched Buffy again recently. Alot of the time she was just honest 🤣

I always had this view that the reason popular people are mean to those they consider beneath them is because they are disgusted with them. Disgusted of their looks, demeanor, views and generally about their existence. The same we react when we see a cockroach. The cockroach won't really bite us but would go its own way. But we would so freak it over it that we would stomp it. And, even worse, we actually feel better when it's dead. And they aren't quite broadminded or have anyone expanding their world views. Many of the bullies I have come across aren't really mean because of their insecurities or lack of access to letting out aggression. It's often their perceived disgust and that they feel better in stomping out that disgust. That was Chris in Carrie for me

@@injieanis4581 Finally someone nails it. It's all about feeling better-than the cockroach, whoever happens to be in the cockroach role at the time. Stomping the cockroach is a display of power, and eliminating a thing you wish didn't exist in this world.

When I read the book Carrie I think that Chris was like Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones she is just a dumb spoiled bitch but when Carrie is trying to kill her Chris is a coward she is terrified and beg Billy to not kill her. I think the best portrayal of Chris were Nancy Allen and Emilie De Ravin Emilie shows a human side of Chris

Yes. Nicely written. David Brin said “ it is said that power corrupts. Actually it is more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power”...damn

On the other hand, if a good person goes to the top, they at least help out the ones who helped them get there

I disagree. Your experiences change as you gain power (be it money or influence) and as your reality changes, your new life molds you differently. Power shapes your personality in a way that is different than what it used to be. yes, some people manage to keep their heads on their sholder after gaining power, but most people never received any guidance to deal with it. It's a nice quote but it doesn't take into account that with power comes great changes in your life. It's not true that you always remained the same and you were always like that before.

serena was soo toxic

Blair didnt really worked hard, she manipulated, sabotaged and blackmailed others and even the teachers

Seconded, Blair Waldorf was THE IT girl of the 2000's!👑🐝

@@trinaq Regina is a lot smarter and more iconic imo. Blair gets really flat at times and doesn't ever take up for herself when it comes to men taking advantage of her. She never really gained that throughout her character development sadly. Regina is practically a evil genius.

I'd say Blair is the iconic Queen B, but Regina is the iconic mean girl. Blair was a leader, who was able to use her intelligence and influence for a greater good (and also petty evil). The fact that she had true friends and loyalty to a group of people she was unable to rule over, softened her mean girl side. It made her nicer, but also vulnerable. Regina was alone in her role as the queen of the school, which allowed her to be meaner, as the only thing she had in school, was her position and she was not willing to let it go. Also we are not shown or told, what is left after Regina is able to channel her anger better, so we can't really see another side to Regina, leaving us seeing her as the mean girl. We see the nicer side of Blair and her development into an adult, who is able to mature from her high school ways, even if not fully let go of them.

✨SadCat✨ yes the girl who let Cady trick her into eating weight-gain bars will totally “mop the floor” with Blair (sarcasm) I love both characters but Blair dealt with her own Cady (aka little J) and she won her war. Can’t say the same about Regina 😬

aaaand that's the prob, in this world anyone can be nice today but cruel the next day, the thing that mean girls do that i admire is that they survive the world of society and knows how to play it, which to be honest most of us lack which makes us look up to them... society is actually the mean and cruel one that cant let everyone be happy

Yeah I think it describes Regina George but if you look carefully most teenage drama films now-a-days have just bullies for mean girls like there's no complexity to her character example :the mean girl in THE DUFF

(I’m late i know) i will aways respect the mean girls except when they’re just RUDE and put another girls down to make themselves better. There’s the mean girl who’s likeable, but there’s the one who’s just insufferable

You respect bullies?

no wonder so many people say the “mean girl to nursing” pipeline is real😅

This is a lie. Mean girls become teachers, retail workers, call center agents, nurses, thug wives or/and network-marketers (With the odd case of social media influencers). Not petroleum engineers, neither accountants, nor lawyers. Most nerds get internships in college because their lecturers referred them & end up with proper jobs. They're interviewed by other nerds, who are able to pull the best out of them. When interviewing for software engineering, we don't expect programmers to be well-spoken people, hence the psychometric tests & work-tests. Mean girls can't navigate work environments were knowledge & skills matter. Unless they're in the fashion or/and entertainment industry

Gomez Addams for sure

Everybody forgets her

they did

Ikr! She's an amazing mix of JD and Regina George and she just gets forgotten so much

She was a sociopath more than a mean girl

Sofia I’m not trying to be funny, but who?

@@Marina-zz2ko from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and later Angel

Agreed!

Cordy was a such a bitch but was also super sensitive.

At the same time she had hidden depths, when the time came, she showed her heart when another is hurt. Example, when Buffy was powerless for a short time, Cordelia was sensitive to her fear giving her a ride home. At the same time, she really did love Xander, (not sure why, ) But Xander ignored her for his concern for Willow (But acts irresponsible by casting a spell when she broke up with him) plus he cheated on her with Willow and the show kind of crapped on her (she gets impaled) her role gets dimished and made her more of a bitch (other than her few centric episodes, showing her bravery

In my experience, most of the "mean girls" were ugly and/or bitter. They were like Jade West from Victorious. Some of the pretty girls were kinda conceited because you can definitely sense that they think they are better than you although they wouldn't say that to your face. Some of them were really nice.

@@elmoworld850 True. In my experiences, most of the mean girls were rather average looking. The only lie here is that is that the bullies are not always white blond women, though granted, at my school white blond people are more than 50% of my school population tbh.

Same.

Same

Agreed.

Same!!!!

I have the same hair as her ..the exact same..freaky....I'm mean sometimes but only with annoying stupid people who are "Clueless"😘😘

She acts like being a virgin or gay, lesbian or bi is something bad, like she is the worst charakter

@@selinsever8206 she's a mean girl , do you want her kiss people like an angel ? People find villains interesting too , you here everywhere commenting the same thing over and over again .

​@@selinsever8206The fact that Regina George is Anti lbtq is what doth make her overall a Perfect character. Regina George is Cool and interesting within every aspect. Unlike the lbtq supporting radical freaks of the World. *

My only argument is that she isn't a 'girl'. 😂😂 Kidding aside, you're right. She's the meanest of the mean girls. However, they grouped her under 'Ice Queen' trope which imo was inaccurate as ice Queen is a driven, ambitious woman who's slightly cold and introverted.

True, how extremely very!💗

Stop trying to make that happen.

stop trying to make fetch happen that's never gonna happen!!

What is FeTcH??

@@taezinb2732 irregardless

You mean heathers

Scarlett O'hara stole all her sisters boyfriends and constantly smooched and constantly tried to steal Ashley from Melanie. She also lied and almost caused a massacre in a black neighborhood. Married 3 times for sheer ambition and gold-digging, but she was the greatest. She would have been miserable with Ashley because there was no one ever good enough for Scarlett.

Nadia Rivera So true I love that women but reading through the second time, I’m much more aware of her true character and flaws

So true. But i still love her

What movie?

Preach! I'm tired of hearing people blame the society and the system for everything. Our being a part of a system doesn't take away our power to choose, at least not in the long-term.

I don't think this video is insinuating they deserve a pass but rather explaining how they got there in the first place. Most personality problems people have are a result of failed potential and poor raising in their childhood. Doesn't mean they're any less mean and cruel and that we should allow them to be that way. If anything, these kinds of analyses allow those people to look within themselves, find the root of the problem, and hopefully change for the better

this video explains that the world is mean. it isn’t mean girls that made it that way, in actuality it’s the opposite. mean girls are better at adaptation to the mean world they lived in (i.e. their successful parents) it’s the reason why they don’t get called out in although everyone despises them, it’s because at the same time it’s survival of the fittest and all they really are, is just the fittest

@@mimiwimi7917 yet even the unadapting non-mean people survive to pass on their genes... All mean people do is make the world more unbearable for all, and as the video said, they even make ir unbearable for themselves. We should all be raising our kids to change the world for the better, not raise them to bully the kids who do.

I mean its technically how life is.. there will always be a mean person in this world just like a nice person... because at the end one isnt actually on top of the other, they’re traits we all have so.. its something that we all have naturally just others use it and others dont.. its a choice

Sleep Deprived it’s common knowledge

If anyone thought Heathers was about love they weren't paying attention

ChristManson Punk That, or they’re into psychopaths

Literally every person who has ever seen Heathers knows that.

That’s not an unpopular opinion.

Cheryl is a drama queen and a psycho

Alina right?

Which movie

@@radiyasidialiyu9281 it's from glee( a series)

Right, Quinn Fabrey is a queen

Exactly. She's mean but her power derives from intelligence, drive, and privilege. And they write her as a human rather than a force of nature that the protagonist must fight against.

Yes! Over the the garden wall!!

Yessssssss

YES!!!!!

Yes

Lia Esegafos Exactly! She grows up so much too. And she talks about how mean she was. “Tact is just not saying true stuff.”

And it’s good how much she self reflected as an adult

Who is she

Yeah, that part made no sense to me. We all have a responsibility to try to be the change we want to see in the world.

Ur Mom I’m so annoyed they have messed her up with the whole digging Jason out of the grave thing

Maddy honestly I kinda love phsyco bitch cheryl blossom it’s kinda funny but in the next episode (ep 9) they are finishing that storyline I think they are finally burying him so hopefully normal Cheryl’s return is coming

Cheryl she is not a Mean Girl or a Queen, she a psycho here are some examples: she put a pig's heart in Josie's locker, she was cover in someone or something blood, She set her own house on fire, she tortures her own mother, she kept her dead brother's corpse in the house for weeks, she believe she was being haunted by her other twin who was in the womb Also she is obsessed with being number one she wanted to be the lead in both plays, she didn't wanted coach and she locker her in the closet just for doing her job, she thinks that the principal have no power over her because she is queen bee and she cheer with the new team of vixens even though she the coach I don't know why people like Cheryl.

Sounds like a lot of misogyny.

@@venus_envy Exactly, a lot of female characters problems in Euphoria are because the males poor choices or influence.

Yeah, but the show doesn’t romanticize it. But about Kat being a Cam girl, I do think the show glorifies it and it’s lowkey problematic . I mean she’s underage after all.

@@yasdaiana I don't think it's romanticizing Kat's being a cam girl. The show made it clear that her deciding to go for a promiscuous self is a negative thing because she only have sex with men to relieve her self esteem, not necessarily cause she's genuinely into it. This is evident when she's dismissive of Maddy and Maddy called her out on this saying Kat wasn't supportive like she used to be. Also, her being rude to that boy at the party comes off of her being insecure. What I'm trying to say is that Kat adopting this hyper-individualistic manner led to making her feel lonely and further endanger herself. Edit: To add in, Kat felt insecure about herself. So the only way she thought to gain her self-esteem is by throwing herself for men.

I liked that Maddy is the subversive take on the "mean girl" archetype. She has every traits and attributes of the mean bitchy high school, girl but the show didn't used them to demonize her. That's just who she is, and Maddy shows some heart and empathy as she's willing to befriend with the main cast who's isn't like her instead of joining a clique.

Minus the character development that happens all the time

I don't think they're trying to make it seem mean=good. More like, stating the reasons as to why they act like that.

They saying the mean girl character have some good qualities but chose to use it negatively. Like ambition, charisma, having a high intelligence... etc.

@@dakilangcornedbeef not really, look at all the comments. People admire and want to emulate this behavior. People have come to not only accept but glorify meanness.

@@njc1304 yes. i was talking about the video not the people's reactions. thats entirely up to them.

@@dakilangcornedbeef 15:30 ➡️ excuses the mean girl therefore promotes her behavior. 😁 My tone is friendly, I toats get where you're coming from.

Frll theyre always the best

Yeah. Peaking early in life just means you'll probably be miserable after and for longer. It's actually quite sad. I'd rather be the nerd who works hard and then has lots of money later in life and just chills, not having put value in things that don't even last.

@@Really_Roby not true just because you peek early doesn't mean u will fail alot of popular people succeed in life just chek real life insted of movies
