I have seen so many negative reviews of this movie, and I have to say one thing to you guys: you obviously werenāt the target audience if you hated this movie.
First, let me break down some of their complaints, and then Iāll give you the rundown of my personal opinion.
Do I need to explain to you why youāre stupid, or are you going to see yourself out the door? If her acting was bad, Iām the next Queen of England. Not only did she bring life to a different version of Regina George, she clearly put some effort into portraying that character. She was probably the second best actor in this movie.
Common Complaint Number Two: Angourie Rice was miscast as Cady Heron; Her singing is bad, her acting is flat, ect.
If I was someone who had just moved to America from another country, I would be reserved too. I would show my emotions less, and I would probably try and do things to fit in with other people I wouldnāt normally do. While I admit her performance canāt match up to Lindsayās, I also say: can YOU act that well? No. These are professionals. If you think that you can act better, then Iād better see you when they make a musical version of Mean Girls 2. And your complaints with the singing are unfair. Sheās Australian- do you know how hard it is to sing with an accent? Oh, well she could just keep the accent when singing- DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFERENT AN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT IS FROM A KENYAN ONE? The door is to your right.
Common Complaint Number Three: The Fashion is bad. (WARNING: Long segment)
This isā¦ wow. Iām disappointed. Honestly, I am. While some of the choices are questionable, do you know how much effort was put into these outfit designs? The first time we see Regina, for example, we see her in all black. Black can represent power, but it can also represent hatred, as another thing; a reference to Cady being told she should hate Regina by her friends. Later on, at the end of the movie, she wears black, all the way up until she gets hit by a bus (which, contrary to what some people say, was not left out of the movie). To show her hatred for Cady. While the outfits may not be perfect, they are quite fitting. To introduce Cady in school, she wears blue- colors associated with sadness, but also nerves. Throughout the movie, Cady is nervous- first to be at school, then to lose her friends, and then to topple Regina, take her place, and be in power. Just because the fashion isnāt perfect and doesnāt make the characters look like models doesnāt mean the acting is bad. (Also, Regina would never use ELF? I am friends with someone who is essentially Regina George but less mean and not as rich, but still pretty up there, and I assure you, she uses ELF)
Complaint Number Four: ALL OF THE SINGING IS AWFUL
ā¦
Are you deaf? Actually, no. Thatās insulting to the deaf people. If you seriously think that all of the songs are awful, you need to never listen to music ever again because you are a disgrace to this society. I will admit, not all of the songs were bangers, but I still have What-Ifs stuck in my head (I agree with one thing, Stupid With Love, both the movie and musical versions, can go with Regina by that bus through)
Complaint Number Five: Itās too much like the original movie but not close enough to the original movie
This is the most common thing I see. People stating that itās ātrying too hard to be the original movieā but that it āleft out key details in the movie that would make it more like the original movieā. Seriously, SHUT UP. Nobody wants to hear you being all ambivalent about your fake reason for hating the movie because someone else told you itās bad.
Common Complaint Number Six: The acting is bad.
youtube
Look me in the eyes and tell me the actors did not pour their heart and soul into this film. You canāt. Thereās the door. Go outside. Touch grass.
Common Complaint Number Seven: It wasnāt marketed as a musical!!!
youtube
youtube
Do youā¦ not see the music note? Okay, youāre blind. Got it š But if youāre so blind, then almost none of the previous complaints are valid because you couldnāt see the movie.
But in all honesty, this one just legitimately pisses me off, because it just means that people canāt be bothered to pay attention to something that is made obvious to them. Sure, the first trailer didnāt include singing, but it was to get you hooked on the idea, not to advertise the movie. Wake up sheeple.
MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
I have my own flurry of complaints. Well, no I donāt. Just two or three. 1. Cadyās entire personality was liking Aaron. Iām sorry, I canāt like a main character who is, in effect, like half the people who dislike this movie, a sheep. And I will admit, there were a FEW times the emotion shown by Cady wasnāt as perfect as it could have been. But itās not a movie killer. 2. I donāt think the movie addresses very well that Janis was also mean. The āAt least me and Regina KNOW weāre meanā gave Janisās treatment of Cady more effect; made Cady come off less as a villain and more as a victim, whereas the new one completely glosses over it and makes it seem like Janis was the one in the right all along. And three, Cady should have kissed Regina at the beginning and none of this would have happened. If youāre going to give us gay Janis, GIVE US OUR CADINA DAMMNIT.
Otherwise, this movie was amazing! I am a lesbian tho so maybe thatās not objective :P
Azure Override: The [Fan] Sequel to Scarlet Nexus that Nobody Asked For or Cares About
Iām writing it! If you want to read it (probly not ngl) Iāll release it on AO3 in a week or two. The fanfic will include the following:
the POVs throughout the story of Akairo (Aka)2/ Murasaki, Aoi Murasaki, Kasane Randall, and Naomi Randall.
Detailed description of character mechanics if they were part of the game at the introduction to the fic
A trailer released on YouTube that will likely be released at the end of the fanfic
The resurrection of Naomi Randall and Nagi Karman
A love interest for Kasane (Akairo). If you arenāt a fan of wlw stories, avoid Akaās path, where her crush on Kasane is a much larger plot aspect than in the other three.
Kyoka x Arashi (I had to add my favorite Scarlet Nexus ship propaganda here Iām very sorry, also, we should totally call it Double Speed imo. And again, if wlw isnāt your thing, avoid Kasane and Akairoās paths, where this ship is much more prominent)
Major character death (shocking, I know)
Angst (itās a Scarlet Nexus fic? You canāt live without)
Time travel (duh)
Mind control and emotional manipulation (This might be a touchy subject for people. I will warn you ahead of time when this is about to occur in a chapter)
Original characters & Ships
Interplanetary travel
Aliens
Zombies
Zombie Aliens
Planetary Colonization
Heavy Combat
Betrayals
Nagi x Yuito (if mlm ships arenāt your thing, avoid Naomiās path, where this ship is much more prominent)*
Hanabi x Naomi (if wlw ships arenāt your thing, why are you reading this fic? I am a lesbian. I must preach.[Iām not trying to āindoctrinate your childrenā. It is just my preferred way of telling a story. Also, I am in high school. Cut me some slack please] But avoid Naomiās path, where this ship is much more prominent)
Villain POVs (Aoi)
The introduction of new powers
Twisty plot twists (theyāre very twisty)
And, of course, spoilers for Scarlet Nexus.
Surprise character POVS
*Aoiās path is the straightest, if you simply want a heterosexual relationship as the endgame. This is in no way to depict heterosexual people as a villain. It just happens to veer away from the main cast of the story, and so it winds up being straighter, as Aoiās love interest is .
The fic will be rated T, for Teen, and will include the warning tags āGraphic depictions of violenceā and āMajor character deathā. It will be posted under the Psued āDreamsAreNightmaresTooā, but will show up on the account profile as āPyxilateā (my AO3 account). It will have āGenā for its relationship tag. I may post it on Wattpad in the future if it gains enough traction.
!!! THE FIRST POV BEING RELEASED WILL BE AKAāS, THEN AOIāS AND KASANEāS. NAOMIāS PATH WILL BE LAST !!!
First of all (for all you newbies out there), what is Genshin Descendants?
Genshin Descendants is a Tri-world crossover of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Honkai Impact 3rd. The cast of Genshin Descendants consists entirely of the children of ships. You, a character insert, are the child of the Traveler and the Trailblazer [purposefully left ambiguous]. The main character, as you soon discover, is not truly you, but a mysterious fox girl who appears to be the daughter of Raiden Ei and Yae Mikoā¦
(There is no Zhongli x Childe, and do not ask. The answer is NO)
For those of you that need it, I will provide a link to the official character profiles. The next upcoming character is Day Huang, but after that itās free game, and I have trouble deciding. I WILL NOT ACCEPT SHIPS NOT ALREADY PART OF THE WORLD. I have already done:
Kaminari Rayaka (Ei x Miko)
Celeste (Sara x Kokomi)
Malaqif Alhawaā (Kaveh x Alhaitham)
Casey (Mika x Freminet)
Jiang Liu (Beidou x Ningguang)
Malikovvy (Kaeya x Albedo)
Alice Lawrence (Amber & Eula)
Characters that are your companions, but will not be playable, are:
Blue Wolf (Kamisato Ayato & Yae Miko [NOT a ship])
Kage (Seele x Bronya Rand)
Characters that will be released simultaneously at the end due to being āDLCā content (not vital to the main story) consist of:
Glass (Acheron x Black Swan)
Iridium Neon (Dr. Ratio x Aventurine)
April Lovesync (March 7th x Robin [Firefly?]
Raiden ShƬjiĆØ (Kiana x Raiden Mei)
HĆŗxÄ«n [HĆŗlĆ] (Tingyun x Yukong)
Priority characters or characters that are currently being worked on are:
Day Huang (N/A)
Verre (Wriothsley x Neuvilette)
Characters that have been put on hold are:
Pandora [YOU!] (Trailblazer x Traveler) {indefinite}
Alistair Astros (Layla x Mona)
Elana (Candace x Dehya)
Kamila Pegg (Barbara x Noelle)
MahÅ (Kirara x Lynette)
Kamisato Hanabi (Yoimiya x Kamisato Ayaka)
Vagues Anago (Clorinde x Navia)
Raiden [Rayquaza] Shigaraki (Raiden Ei x Yae Miko)
Zatenenny (Scaramouche x Sandrone)
Zelkovia Baysil (Cyno x Tighnari)
For those unfamiliar ^^^
Ladies and gentleman, feel free to critique any already created character (except for Kaminari Rayaka, my poor innocent bundle of angst and hurt/no comfort), so long as itās not for any unreasonable concept (E.G. you like Yae Miko x Ayato more than Ayato x Thoma; basically, donāt hate the character because of ship preferences).
Last but not least, my characters are FREE DOMAIN, unless being used for the following reasons:
An incest or pedophilic ship (I hate that I have to put this, but there are some people out there)
Any fanfic directly depicting a character of my creation committing sexual assault, necrophilia, or murder
Changing the ābirthā parents of the character for any reason (other than BOTH parents dying, or them abandoning said character, and being adopted by another ship)
Things I DO allow, but other creators might not:
Putting certain characters into other universes where OTHER ships donāt match with the ones I have added; E.G. putting Kamila in a Yae x Ayato universe and having her interact that way.
Time travel fics. Thatās fine, especially if Rayaka is involved.
Universe crossing and crossovers.
Killing of my characters. Itās not canon, so I donāt mind.
Dumping unnecessary angst on their heads- Iām not going to ban every fanfic writer out there from writing the way they write. Besides, *holds out hand to half the characters that Iāve made*
Fanfics using ships not canon to the Genshin Descendants universe (E.G. Fiona x Jiang Liu)
The fanfic can be of any rating. I donāt particularly care.
Thatās all! (Do I think anyone will use these characters? No. Do I want them to? Yes. Oh god, yes please. Iād pay you to if I had any money)
A birthday gift I made for my dad, since he likes Dragon Ball (never watched it myself, 2nd time ever trying to draw Goku, the first was 1 year ago lol). Whaddaya think?
Gremlin agrees, and thinks that Winter x Penny should become cannon along with Whiterose. (Itās an old photo tho)
I'm putting Nugget here forward to inherit RWBY. He will insist that all the girls get snacks and naps, and that WhiteRose happens. Everything else is in CRWBY's very capable hands.
no, hear me out on this. In the original mean girls, Regina said that Janis cut and dyed her hair. This would mean that her hair is very obviously not naturally black. Now, this means her hair could be blonde or dark brown, and not necessarily red, but it might explain why Regina paid attention to Cady. Maybe Regina is just drawn to red heads. Oh my gosh guys both of her gfs had red hair she has a type!
Iām ninety percent sure Janis has hazel eyes, which is a weird mishmash of green blue and brown, which idk what this has to do with anything but cool
that might also explain why Janis noticed Cady so quickly. Especially when she saw Cadyās interactions with Regina, it might have felt familiar (I.e. she was seeing herself in Cady). Also, Janis coming up with the choreography for Jingle Bell Rock? Not exactly something that most people with brown hair would do. I donāt see many Gretchenās coming up with that stuff.
maybe Iām ranting about unimportant things. Okay, there is no maybe. But my irrefutable evidence is here.
Y.O.L.Oā¦ so rewrite Mean Girls but Cadina is Canon.
According to Janis, Damian, and Cady, the original story of mean Girls was told wrong. This rewrite is to centralize on what they claim actually happened, with a few interesting twists.
Janis: Itās me! Janis Ian, here with Regina and Cady as a surprise pop-in. This does feature songs, and as a very confident Janis Sarkisian once said-
Regina: You just said Janis Ian.
Cady: Relax, babe. She does this all the time.
Janis: Now I have to start over. Itās me, Janis Imiāike-
Regina: Oh, for frickās sake-
Cady: To summarize: this song combines aspects from all three renditions of Mean Girls.
thanks for your opinion that š¶ nobody asked for because youāre saying this with no reason š¶ (imagine that to like the history of the world I guess music style)
but in all honesty Iām legit curious: are you a whiteknight or Rosegarden shipper? Because that would explain so much
and if youāre a Whiterose shipper, then WE SHOULD ALL JUST STAB CAESAR. Ahehehem. Shame. Shame on you, shame on your family, shame on your cow- wait, Iām just shaming you twice, nevermind.
but if youāre not, then I apologize for deeply insulting you but I just had to get it off my chest because the toxic rwby shipping is real and I have seen it first hand
I just want to know why you think this is bad, because you sorta dropped a bombshell on me with no context. And if youāre just doing this to be mean, then I guess Iām Glen Coco and youāre Gretchen Weiners- I get candy canes and you donāt.
Need I say more?
I think the people, objectively, have spoken.
if I were to add in my opinion youād see that I contributed a few fanfics to the mix
Main reason for my dislike of White Knight: I hate Jaune and Weiss is my favorite character, so I think she deserves better. I know some people wonāt say this is a valid reason but Jaune originally and currently isnāt written very well. You basically have to give him his own episode to flush out his plot line, (like in the first season and every season afterwards where heās important) and heās not a main character so he takes up screen time. (They do the same with Oscar and the rest of JNPR Instead of doing a JNPR episode, they do each of them individually with sprinkles of plot in between) Honestly, a relationship between him and Weiss would be a bad idea. Case in point:
Volume 1 White-knight Moments:
Jaune unsuccessfully flirting with Weiss (+1)
Volume 2 White-knight Moments:
Jaune unsuccessfully flirting with Weiss (+1)
Volume 3 White-knight moments:
ā¦ PYRRHA! (-1)
Volume 4 White-knight moments:
ā¦ (No interaction; no points awarded or deducted)
Volume 5 White-knight moments:
Jaune does a common courtesy and saves Weissās life (does not count; he would react the same for anybody- ānO hE wOULdnāTā shut up Victoria if any of your friends were dying youād save their life) [+0.5]
Volume 6 White-knight moments:
ā¦
Volume 7 White-knight moments:
ā¦
Volume 8 White-knight moments:
ā¦
Volume 9 White-knight moments:
Weiss admires Jaune over the fact that heās mature, and supports him like a good friend after Ruby runs away. He reverts to his old form, and we never hear from them again. (+2)
Total score: 3.5/9 (trying to be generous, I really am)
Main reason for liking Whiterose: Enemies to friends to lovers is an adorable trope, and they get a lot of screen time together in the first few seasons. Also, Monty himself shipped them. While I wonāt say Whiterose is objectively better than White Knight, I am going to say that when I include my own opinion, it is better. Weiss and Rubyās relationship feels more like a slow burn than Yang and Blakeās. We get scenes that could be interpreted that way in almost every season since Volume one. Let me go through them, and to show how unfair this is, Iām not allowed to add more than 1.5 points:
Volume 1 Whiterose Moments
Ruby and Weiss are off to a rocky start, but slowly warm up to each other as time goes on, and they get closer. They have a mildly, could-be considered romantic moment where Weiss makes Ruby coffee so she can stay up to study. (+1)
Volume 2 Whiterose Moments
In the food fight, Ruby dramatically catches Weiss when she falls and pretends to cry over her. (Not really much, but itās something). Ruby and Weiss consistently pair up to get things done throughout the season, especially when looking into information about Cinder. (+1)
Volume 3 Whiterose Moments:
Supporting each other when Winter gets there (that is Volume 3, right?), excellent teamwork in the first stage of the Amity Arena battle, and Weissās concern for Ruby when she disappears. (+1)
Volume 4 Whiterose Moments:
Thinks about each other, but otherwise, nothing. (No points awarded or deducted)
Volume 5 Whiterose Moments:
Weiss rememberās Rubyās coffee taste. While this could be something any friend does, they spend time together, reflecting over beacon, and Weiss helps Rubyās sister Yang through an implication that sheās doing it for team RWBY, but especially their eccentric fluffball of a leader. (+1.5)
Volume 6 Whiterose Moments:
Ruby saves Weiss on the train, Weiss saves Ruby in the battle against the mech, and they spend time together in the village with the grim. I should give two points here but Iām loyal to my word. (+1.5)
Volume 7 Whiterose Moments:
Ruby and Weiss sitting together during training, and Weiss supporting Ruby when the team splits up. (+0.5)
Volume 8 Whiterose Moments:
Supporting each other all throughout the volume by working together, and acting as teammates and partners. (+0.5)
Volume 9 Whiterose Moments:
Ruby supports Weiss after her being upset about the fall of Atlas. (Jauneās interaction with Weiss, -1 point- would have been two, though)
6/9
In any scenario, Whiterose wins. Im sure other people could come up with reasons to disprove me, or say Iām biased (I am, this is in no way objective), but these are the things I saw with my own eight eyes because I own three pairs of glasses, and heard with my (admittedly failing) teenage ears.
Iām sure Iāll get flak for this from both sides of the shipping community, because admittedly, the RWBY fandom can be toxic (but itās almost any fandom at that point) saying I either graded White Knight too harshly or I gave too many or too few points to Whiterose, and I also did all of this off the top of my head, so I apologize for my many mistakes. I have two last statements:
Rosegarden: 0/9
Oscar is 14 and Ruby is 17. If I, the same age as Oscar as of 2023, would not date Ruby at that time, itās probably wrong. When it comes to relationships for younger people, itās best to avoid age gaps larger than 2 years. Itās also best to avoid relationships altogether until you can at least go for a learnerās permit. I rest my case.
Bumblebee: 8/9
Itās canon, bro. It does feel slightly forced at times, but theyāre a strong couple who supports each other and helps each other through trauma. You go girls, lesbians all the way (insert lesbian pride flag here)
edit: got someone sending in a message about neither ever going to be canon. Youāre right, but thank you so much for crushing a high schoolerās hopes and dreams. Have a nice day
edit 2: I prefer icerose over whiterose but Iāll get what I can take (canon ruby x ice Queendom Weiss). This is just an overall argument.
I said 3 year age gaps, not 2 year age gaps. (If you reread it, thatās almost word for word what I said; Iāve even checked with adults who agree) Iāll admit, I made a mistake. But also, Ozpin is old, so that immediately makes it even worse anyway. Also, Ruby is 17; sheās practically an adult and can make her own decisions. And considering White knight existed at about the same time as Whiterose, if some people I know who have shipped it since the beginning of the show is any condolence, Iād sayā¦ no. However, itās nice that you attempted to refute my point, because I do make mistakes, and I enjoy debates, so have fun with that information. If you wish to defeat me, train for 100 years! Mwahahaha. Iām kidding, though. Itās not that you made good points (you didnāt, considering how easily I countered them), but at least you tried. Here, have a gold star. āļø

Iāve seen a lot of fanfics depict Janis and Regina. While I donāt disagree, I feel like Janis sits more as a childhood crush than a love interest in the movie. Also, both are suitable candidates for a Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers but Cady just feels better, you know? Like they spent this whole time secretly fighting each other, and in the end they both drop the guy theyāre fighting over and ride off into the sunset as Gay icons. (Because Cady gives off bisexual energy and Regina is literally irradiating Lesbian power)
Additionally, in the new movie, Cadyās only personality trait is that sheās in love with Aaron. This could give her more character depth- moving in from what is essentially a hyper fixation for someone she has, to be honest, better chemistry with. Mind you, I love the movie to death, but that is one thing.

Weiss rememberās Rubyās coffee taste. While this could be something any friend does, they spend time together, reflecting over beacon, and Weiss helps Rubyās sister Yang through an implication that sheās doing it for team RWBY, but especially their eccentric fluffball of a leader. (+1.5)
Volume 6 Whiterose Moments:
Ruby saves Weiss on the train, Weiss saves Ruby in the battle against the mech, and they spend time together in the village with the grim. I should give two points here but Iām loyal to my word. (+1.5)
Volume 7 Whiterose Moments:
Ruby and Weiss sitting together during training, and Weiss supporting Ruby when the team splits up. (+0.5)
Volume 8 Whiterose Moments:
Supporting each other all throughout the volume by working together, and acting as teammates and partners. (+0.5)
Volume 9 Whiterose Moments:
Ruby supports Weiss after her being upset about the fall of Atlas. (Jauneās interaction with Weiss, -1 point- would have been two, though)
6/9
In any scenario, Whiterose wins. Im sure other people could come up with reasons to disprove me, or say Iām biased (I am, this is in no way objective), but these are the things I saw with my own eight eyes because I own three pairs of glasses, and heard with my (admittedly failing) teenage ears.
Iām sure Iāll get flak for this from both sides of the shipping community, because admittedly, the RWBY fandom can be toxic (but itās almost any fandom at that point) saying I either graded White Knight too harshly or I gave too many or too few points to Whiterose, and I also did all of this off the top of my head, so I apologize for my many mistakes. I have two last statements:
Rosegarden: 0/9
Oscar is 14 and Ruby is 17. If I, the same age as Oscar as of 2023, would not date Ruby at that time, itās probably wrong. When it comes to relationships for younger people, itās best to avoid age gaps larger than 2 years. Itās also best to avoid relationships altogether until you can at least go for a learnerās permit. I rest my case.
edit 3: alright, some people have corrected me on the age part, apparently heās fifteen. I donāt hate Rosegarden, but something about Ozpin and Oscar being the same person makes me really uncomfortable (again, as someone who is younger). Thats the only reason I didnāt give it any rating- it just feels too close to, wellā¦ I donāt really have to say it. Especially when the whole point of things is that Oscar and Ozpin are becoming the same person.
Bumblebee: 8/9
Itās canon, bro. It does feel slightly forced at times, but theyāre a strong couple who supports each other and helps each other through trauma. You go girls, lesbians all the way (insert lesbian pride flag here)
edit: got someone sending in a message about neither ever going to be canon. Youāre right, but thank you so much for crushing a high schoolerās hopes and dreams. Have a nice day
edit 2: I prefer icerose over whiterose but Iāll get what I can take (canon ruby x ice Queendom Weiss). This is just an overall argument.
Dunno if someone's made anything like this, but this is my Hazbin Hotel OC MJ because why not. Her two pink teeth are pink ON PURPOSE, that's not an art error. Please do not repost anywhere without my permission (idk about reblogging it tho). I might post this on reddit.
Yes, that's a spider man reference, and yes, she has a pet tiger.
