    The old Monster High was a complex series that discusses prejudice and still manages to look like a dumb superficial kids movie series.
    The new Monster High is just a dumb superficial kids movie series.

      There was a serious rebranding after parents started complaining that the dolls (and the cartoons based on them) were too sexualized because many of the girls wore short skirts and heavy makeup. So the character design took a heavy hit, and I imagine all the other touchy themes went away to avoid making parents angry. (Because apparently even implying racism is a thing in the modern word is enough to get parents to boycott you, nowadays.)

      When I was a kid, I kind thought she was... you know *b i r t h e d* into the world like everyone else. Birds and the bees stuff. Now that I’m much older and had read Frankenstein, the idea that she’s a reanimated corpse seems so freaking mind blowing but it totally makes sense and is very plausible. Especially when you consider that whenever humans are involved in the movies/shows, she’s always the one that tries to improve bonds between humans and ghouls *because she most likely used to be a human as well.*

    Here to say that the books I read about Monster High are so entertaining, and I'm a dude in my twenties. The final cliffhanger for the first book in the series is literally "I think you need to get your act together and figure out which of you is taking me to the school dance." which is so funny to me. "Frankie was made for the main character role" And she is, in this book series!

    (Edit 2: I feel like we should rise og-monster high back from the grave because the franchize gave off the gen z energy we're trying to radiate now-a-days {plus the themes they had included everyone from lgbtqia to people with disabilities and interracial relationships/ethnicities which was pretty ahead of its time for a kids franchize})

      Same with Ever After High. The original fairytales are so dark, it would be easy to make a more mature reboot for the people who were fans as kids and are now adults. I would love to see and EAH and Monster High reboot that takes it to a darker level (like a good reboot, not something like the teen Winx reboot on Netflix). If done properly, it could be a really good show. And we could finally get the cross-over we were promised.

      @@kittycheshire5099 I always wanted a reboot of Ever After High for that reason! I wasn't into Monster High that much (it was cool; however, I still liked EAH better), but Ever After High was my favorite show for years! I wished that the universe was a little darker and more mature, because as you said, the original fairytales were DARK, dark as hell, and that would've been cool to see how it would've panned out in the show. (The darkest I'd say that EAH got was "Spring Un-sprung", as well as the Dragon Games). I partially read the books, and I was introduced to Monster High due to the crossover that was one of those books. Also, on a side note, I love your profile picture and username. Kitty Cheshire is my favorite character. I had a bunch of EAH dolls when I was little, though my parents forced me to give them to my little sister when I grew older, except for one doll that I was allowed to keep... I kept Kitty because I thought she was amazing. I still have her to this day. My second favorite character was probably Darling Charming, but I liked Kitty more, ha ha ha.

    Oh gods, hearing the Monster High theme there at the end……no words, just a huge wave of nostalgia over my heart. Don’t mind me, I’ll just be crying in the corner cause the 'Good Monster High'TM is no more. (Seriously, the day I saw a new doll with that giant smile plastered over her face rather than the usual 'resting face’, I knew it was over for the franchise, it down-graded massively.)

    Deuce was the son of Medusa. Greek myth. Viperine was the daughter of Stheno, Medusa's sister. (is there a child of Euryale? The third sister?)
    Casta Fierce was the daughter of the greek sorceress Circe. Iris is the daughter of a cyclops. Greek myth. Manny was the son of the Minotaur. Greek myth. Cupid is literally a daughter of the greek god of love himself: Eros.

She is all alone. All she wanted was a friend.

      I blame Yo-Kai Watch for that reason for me
      I feel like I’m incapable of making human ocs unless it’s like the human form of a creature
      And I tend to make most of my characters creatures

    4:08 I have the 3DS game of this that follows the bad end. I have no clue how to save, and I have no clue how to load my save file consistently, and I have not passed the first section yet, BUT I also haven't played it in a while, so I might've just been bad at video games. Both the movie and the game are p cool though. I also have some monster high dolls hidden away in my doll box. I never like consistently watched the show, I just enjoyed the movies that I saw. Either Frankie or Draculaura was my favorite, since I still have my Draculaura plush, but also I was a sucker for protagonists back then so

    Monster High really defined the sexuality of hets and gays this franchise was so ahead of its time

    5:51 Monster High isn’t just for monsters, it’s a school for all species to come together and accept one another.

    The entire franchise is just a coffin of nostalgia, me and my sister still fiddle around with the dolls we collected (We still look for old ones... 😅) Which was your favourite Monster High movie?

      I think my go-to answer is Freaky Fusion, but Boo York is up there too because of the songs!

    I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of the monster high dolls since I was more of an Ever After High kind of person and preferred it more, but man did I love watching the Monster High movies when I was younger. Cancelling EAH and rebooting MH was Mattel's biggest mistake.
    (Also the fact that Neighthon has the same VA as Kaeya I-)
