Middle-aged Steve, Eddie, Robin, and Nancy definitely have a group chat once Apple introduces it. They actually love it because it makes it way easier to stay in touch while Robin and Nancy travel.
Steve and Eddie's three daughters are usually the main topic of conversation.
As is the case one morning in October 2013:
Steve: Which one of you got my children to call froot loops gay cheerios
His text is accompanied by a video taken in their kitchen that starts with Steve, behind the camera, asking, “Wait - what did you guys want for breakfast?”. Robbie and Hazel giggle from their seats at the counter as they respond, “Gay cheerios, please,“ and “yeah, gay cheerios.”
Steve's long sigh is cut off when the video ends.
Nancy: Not me.
Steve: I know
Eddie: definitely not me
Eddie: Apple Jacks are way gayer than froot loops
Robin: ???
Robin: in what world are Apple Jacks gayer than Froot Loops?
Honestly, Cleo is one of the most interesting and refreshing characters in the mh franchise. She's a popular, rich girl with:
- THE confidence
- THE sass
- THE style
Basically what you would expect to be the "mean girl of the series". What's special about her is that she isn't. Even though she's all that and more, she's still kind, supportive, never bullies anyone and even protects other monsters that are victims of bullying. It's something that is rarely ever seen in any shows, movies or books and i find it really awesome that they decided to write her as this type of breaking the stereotypes character.
The new MH has lots of these refreshing new ideas, breaking the cliche scenarios, situations or characters, it's basically something interesting and it already changed the way i look at these typical movie scenes. It's cool to see the writing in a kids series being so complex, but so simple. I can turn off my brain, but it also makes me think when I dig more into it. I already know this show is gonna be stuck in my brain for a long time.
