that new Monster High movie is hilariously dumb...

the most ironic thing about this is how adamant the school is about “all humans are bad, they suck, only true monsters” because in the popular cartoon series the school was made for inclusivity, and there are human presenting people in that show, and the main characters even dance and have fun with the humans in fact they had a movie about connecting with humans and “not worrying about differences” how did they manage to completely leave the original subject matter behind so well, it’s a bit crazy

The thing that pisses me off most about this movie is the idea that monsters hate humans. In the original, Monster High (the school) was a place of inclusivity for everyone, human or monster. They even had a Jeckyll/Hyde character: Jackson Jeckyll, who was a timid little human guy who didn't feel accepted at MH, and Holt Hyde, who was excited and fun about being there, but they had an arc about accepting themselves and learning that, no matter who they are, Monster High welcomes all into its walls. Nearly every student there was also taught that wheather you're monster or normie (the original MH term for humans), you will be accepted, "Freaky flaws and all" I'm nearly 18 now, but I grew up watching MH. It was the only reason I ever learned to accept myself for who I am, and to never discriminate against others for what they look like or what they can/can't do. This series meant so much to me, taught me so many lessons that are still a deep part of my personality today. These bastards ruined it.

Ghoulia isn't supposed to talk. She grunts.

THE SCHOOL'S MOTTO WAS ALWAYS "anyone is welcome in monster high" AND THEY JUST THREW THAT ALL AWAY????

I love how they had two chances to get the reboot right and failed them both.

As someone who was obsessed with Monster High as a kid, all I can say is this: Look how they massacred my boy.

"You found it. No, the school found you" "You don't find your room, the room finds you" Boy, those writers were really proud of that line weren't they xD

its crazy to me that they managed more character development in the original 2 minute webisodes than they could accomplish in a full movie. the scene with the songs Scars in the 20 minute special New Ghoul @ School was so iconic.

as a 19yo it’s honestly embarrassing how upset i am that my childhood dolls got turned into such a bad movie 😭

- Clawdeen was my favorite. Look at what they did. They massacrated my girl. - Cleo was their friend??? She's wasn't a bully at all????? - How did they manage to butcher the whole message of the whole franchise

My complaint about the movie is the fact that the show was already inclusive from the getgo. I mean, there were all sorts of characters! There were tons of different races. There was a Romanian, a Russian, an Aussie, an Egyptian, a Mexican (the skull girl), and an Asian too! Not to mention they had all sorts of monsters! Tons and tons of werewolves, vampires, goblins, deuce, whatever heath is, Jackson Jekyll, Holt Hyde, a centaur, a zombie pony hybrid boy, a ghost mermaid, a spider chick, a dude with huge ears—. the point is there are an incredibly large amount of people on the school. Monster high was about inclusivity, being who you are, embracing your flaws, and accepting everyone around you despite their differences. This movie went against the entire concept of the original series. Everyone sounds the same. There’s nothing inclusive about the movie anymore except Frankie—who isn’t the new “girl “ ((in the original she went by she/her)) who’s trying to fit in (the whole point of the monster high webisodes)— who now goes by they/them. This movie has such good potential if they could at least keep their designs and backstories remotely similar instead of changing the whole concept of monster high and its lore. Anyway you guys can hate on me back for my commentary if you want to I just needed to complain about my childhood being destructed. I’m gonna watch Monster high: Ghouls rule :)

It's so hilarious how 'nOrMAl pEoPLe' react to seeing a girl with ears in these movies. I mean, most people would probably be something like "Woah, that's kinda odd. How'd that happen?" And maybe a little surprised. But no, in this movie everyone is just like "aAAaaAH fReAK sToP pOIsOnING mY wORlD yOu AnImaL yOu areN't eVen hUMaN"

What shocked me the most was the fact that they wrote Chloe and Lagoona to be best friends. It makes no sense.

Why have Clawdeen be the new girl at school? That was quite literally Frankie's story. Freshly created high school student utterly new to pretty much everything around her. Using Hyde, or rather Holt Hyde-Knock Off, as the villain as well is another baffling choice consider Clawdeen's whole "am I human or am I monster" thing was HIS story. He was the great grandson- not son- of Dr. Jekyll/ Hyde and had a more timid human counterpart named Jackson that actually had a full story arc in one of the animated films because he felt so out of place over at Monster High as neither him nor Holt had control over who was out. In fact, Holt and Frankie actually become a couple! Why absolutely butcher a lore thats perfectly laid out, there's more than enough material that you don't need to utterly rearrange the entire universe.

Honestly watching Deuce having no snakes for hair 24/7 is really weird

1:01 That guy knew he was only gonna get one scene and he gave it his absolute all. I respect that!

What pisses me off the most, is that they made Ghoulia Yelps "speak". She's a zombie, so she can only speak zombie (moans and grunts). Because of this, many kids with disabilities and/or difficulty speaking, related to Ghoulia and felt represented. For Nickelodeon to ignore this and made Ghoulia "normal", is a complete slap in the face Edit: I know it's cliche & annoying to say, but thanks for the likes everyone. I was worried ppl wouldn't agree with me & almost didn't post this <3

I hate the way every character was treated, but Ghoulia is probably the most upsetting for me as a person on the spectrum...

I loved Monster High growing up. I’m the movie “Boo York Boo York”, it was revealed that Monster High and Ever After High were in the same universe, and that show was another huge part of my childhood. I was so excited when I saw that, and I wish they did more than just give us a revelation and forget about it. I can’t even watch this movie without wanting to punch someone, they really screwed up.

Hi Hello. 19 yo here who grew up with, and was honestly a bit obsessed with Monster High as a child. I can't tell if my constant laughter while watching this was out of pain or embarrassment I can't tell which. Seeing what they did to Cleo and Deuce is tragic.
