    My heart just broke when she started discussing the film. Like, I'm angry and upset for her! She doesn't own the property, but Jem is still her baby.
    She tried for years and years and years to do something for the brand, and she got nowhere. Then she gets a random courtesy call one day telling her that the film is being made. WTF?
    I'm glad it flopped. Send a message. Maybe they'll listen to her if she tries to pitch the idea of a reboot to them ever again.

    Oh, I'm crying while she talks about the movie; It's so damn heartbreaking that she was shut out! It's anger inducing that a low-budget feature was not handed over to people who would have made it wonderful and was not aimed at fans who would have made it a success. Thank God, we have the comic and the Integrity Toys' doll line!

      And I'm glad, karma struck them because the film ended up flopping thanks to the fans that's what happens when you don't do your research and involved the original creator of Jem who could have did 10 times more better than this Fiasco of a film

    Guy here. I never switched the channel when Jem came on! Actually I liked it because it dealt with real-world stuff, so was a contrast with the sci-fi and fantasy settings of most Saturday morning 80s cartoons (Synergy notwithstanding). Christie is awesome.

    It is so great that you've used someone who's near and dear to more people than you could imagine as Christy to do this 1st piece of "people that you may not know, but you should" and bring another view to all of us who despised what Jon M. Chu & Co. just "tried" to achieve...
    If Christy is EVER let loose (probably by the sale of Hasbro for a reduced price tag to a media company who'd care more about making money THROUGH the characters rather than IN SPITE OF them) we could see something brewing even before THIS decade is out (maybe back to TV...) with the help of both her colleagues at the creative side AND the fans (our Pop People) for real.

    Thank you for being you. True to your original creation. Giving us Jem and The Holograms. Jem the animated cartoon still airs where I live. I think the original fans and those who appreciate the animations will always feel protective of the integrity of the original concepts and tv series. Clearly Hasbro hoped to cash in on revitalizing merchandise for the upcoming holidays more than they cared about the legacy of Jem. If the movie had been done better they might have accomplished that to some degree. The way they handled this one was all wrong.

    I would love to see Christy direct a new animation for Jem be it movie or series, I don't think this works on live action tho and those guys who did that movie clearly had no idea what Jem is about at all. And it really enfuriates me to know she did try to but got ignored.

    • @Summer21.
      @Summer21. 8 лет назад +2

      I would love to see Christy be in charge of a new Jem animated series and a Jem movie as well. Hehe. :o)
      I am so sorry that Christy and her agent tried to get in touch with Hasbro, but Hasbro weren't interested in reviving the Jem franchise, nor caring about the fans, but then 10 years ago, they let John M. Chu make a movie with their permission.
      I don't understand Hasbro's logic unless they hoped it would fail so they could "prove" that Jem was a franchise that shouldn't have been touched.
      If only we were able to buy Jem from Hasbro if they would allow that, and that we could then give the Jem rights over to Christy if that was possible, as she would always treat the franchise with the respect that it deserves and she would never disappoint us fans either, because Christy, the other Jem chiefs, the cast, crew, especially the other fellow writers made Jem a wonderful show for people of both genders and all ages to enjoy. :o)

    A little fun fact when she was talking to her cat Jetta, the original concept of Jetta was supposed to be a British black woman but maybe wanted to show minorities in a negative manner back in the day. So if people are reading the IDW comic and you see the character Jetta she's modeled after her original concept.

      I highly doubt it. Now that the new movie has completely tanked at the box office, Hasbro won't invest another penny in to Jem for quite a while. They won't release two movies so close together. 2025 for the 40th Anniversay perhaps.

    She's actually a talented person, and had noble goals. All of the female characters in G.I JOE, were always awesome, cool, badass, and beautiful.. Even the side characters.. The very same wit Jem, which my brother and I had collected as well. In today's era, they'd be ugly, insufferable, angry, masculine, man-hating, horrible people.. Once rejected, we'd hear cries of misogyny. MOST of the cartoons of the 80's were great for kids, and taught some good lessons too.. Today everything is so mediocre, and divisive, filled with political propaganda, which is pure rubbish, and teaches nothing positive, or uplifting... Nothing is authentic, none of it will be iconic.
