I mean, if this is following the plot of the original, it looks like the diversity is going to end up being murdered for being bullies. It’s well in line with right wing propaganda.

They should’ve just called it Reverse Racism: The Movie and kept it 100. I need to know who thought of this shit. I’m assuming its the same people who are convinced there’s a war on straight white people, christmas and families and that one cousin who sits on message boards lamenting about how everyone is so sensitive…

that quote is from someone that WAS a Heather, or one of the little brown nosers trying to be a Heather. This is basically saying the Empire were the good guys and the Rebels were terrorists.

The joke is that it is actually fat people, gay people, and Black people who are being mean to skinny white girls. You know, because of “political correctness.”

I had an immediate, visceral reaction to the bullshit trailer. Who is this movie for, exactly? Like...who did the target audience vote for, you think?

Plus he just misses the really biting and dark satire of the whole movie. There was a lot more in there than just the three Heathers.

That’s like two of his kid’s names right there.

There can be more than one villain. JD is evil, but so are the Heathers

oh my God whaaaaaaaaat

I actually don’t hate the name “Chicago” for a baby on its own. It’s not my favorite but it’s by no means the worst I’ve ever heard.

Have they seen the movie ? Did they pay attention, while they do rule the school only the that is some what sympathetic is the one who calls into the radio show. The main Heather is a legit terrible person. She is so obviously bad you don’t really hold it against Winona Ryder when she accidentally killed her.

I liked the original because it punched up, at power structures. Marginalized groups were shown to have more depth than those that controlled the social scene in the movie.

This is truly stupid. I’m, of course, an original Heathers fan. This adaption completely misunderstands the original.

ETA: like, excuse me, literally nobody thinks that the preferred term for fat people is body-positive, is that the joke, I can’t tell where the joke is in this fucking thing

““The three Heathers are incredibly powerful and ruling the school; they’re the people you would want to be.”

The show-runner has a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material. Quoted from EW:

A teen dramedy about a traditionally pretty blonde white girl taking her power back from a fat chick, a black girl and a gay dude, as the adults marvel how crazy it is that people like her aren’t already at the top of the pyramid. What could go wrong?

I already hate this reboot

This whole thing smacks of an idea someone has after you’ve all been working for hours and and hours and are so exhausted you can’t see straight, and it feels smart and edgy and great at the time but then you wake up the next day and go “oh wait, that’s a TERRIBLE idea.”
