@@rocky.rocks1445yeah I agree, there faces actually have a lot of similarities tbh, but nothing justifies sending death threats especially over something like THIS.
@tihssinodnol there's no accountability to be taken 😭 if u didn't like how he was in the movie that's on u, ur not entitled to an apology esp if he did nothing wrong
I think he's fine as rodrick. Don't exactly know how people are able to get mad over an actor not fitting a character when the original character is literally a stick figure.
even till then, he was CASTED for the role and given the script he had to work with, so it isn't even entirely his fault, he just accepted an opportunity even though it sucked, and ran with it. Some people really don't know what makes bad movies as "bad", honestly
I was too, but I was also a kid back then and I grew up reading those books and watching those movies. I didn't want it to change, I wanted it to stay as the thing I loved. But these things happen and that isn't bad. It certainly doesn't warrant genuine hatred like sending death threats to him just for playing a role. Those people are seriously insane if they think that was okay to do
@@vLadeV10 lets also acknowledge that apologies don't make it okay either. I said "not my Rogerick" and that was a very shitty mean thing to do and I knew that and I did it anyway.

@@hamburgerdog25 I appreciate that. Im just acknowledging the fact that you guys realised what you have done and are still aware of it, I gain even more respect now. But I agree that the limit was pushed and I hope he is doing well too.

The death threats were so unnecessary and disturbing, the internet is really intense about nostalgia and those stuff but they should know how to not take things too far. You matter a lot, king, have a great day
@@Monkforillapersonally i don’t think the harm of a death threat relies only on someone actually potentially following through. it also displays a level of hate that shouldn’t be put on a person.
@@Monkforillaregardless you need to revalue your self if you are telling someone to end their life over a show. It may be not serious to the person saying it but the person receiving it can feel affected by it.
I actually really liked diary of wimpy just because of your acting and I'm not just this to make you feel better. I remember rewinding the "brain exploding" scene so many times cause it was just so funny. You did a great job and I think you'll do really great with comedy roles
hey man, just remember that it's not your fault. The movie studio didn't have a choice but to recast rodrick because devon was too old, and frankly, i think you don't look any different besides the hair (no problem anyways). idk why people are hating on you. i think you played the role perfectly. keep on going bro 👊👊
The hair straight up was that only issue I had. It looked like something old Rodrick would make fun of. But yeah. All the hate was unwarranted. Hope you get a totally fulfilling life.
not that it matters cause getting hate over diary of a wimpy kid is stupid, but all the reasons ppl dont like him as rodrick are kinda costume and stylists fault not really actors role
As much as I dislike The Long Haul, no one deserves to go through what Charlie went through. He simply got the role, he did the best he could with a terrible script but all he gets in return is notmyrodrick/death threats. Respect to Charlie for pulling through and I hope things get better for him in the future.
People lost their ever-loving minds because Devon got replaced. And I’ll never understand why people are so comfortable sending someone literal death threats over a freaking movie. Both of y’all did a great job. Cheers to moving on from this mess and still being here 🥂
just because you feel bad doesn't mean you should lie. the performance was ass, and while that is probably the fault of teh writers and the director, saying they both did great is just wrong
@@lilieveb Are you not doing the same thing. If people didn't think it was bad then the movie would not have been reviewed the way it was by BOTH critics and audiences consistently for the past 6 years. It sits at a rating of 1.9 on google, 4/10 on imdb, 19 for critics on rotten tomato and 30 for audiences on rotten tomato. Sending death threats to an actor is never ok, but You people are just trying to feign maturity because you feel guilty about saying "not my Rodrick" 6 years ago, which is fine if you wanna feel guilty about that, but said guilt does not suddenly make the film, or his performance, good.
Charlie, I just want to say a few things. Don’t let those negative comments bring you down. It’s not your fault about the whole “#notmyrodrick” situation. You gave off a TON of Rodrick energy and stayed strong through it all. I respect you so much dude🙏🙏🙏
I think most of the notmyrodrick-people had a problem against how he was written in the new movie. However the personal insults and deaththreads are beyond unhinged and disturbing
@@fierce1343 again, opinions of movies based off the trailer are usually superficial bc not liking a trailer ≠ watching the movie and hating the actual product you've seen in full lol. people's gut reaction was to how the guy looks and there's no two ways about it
I know that one random commenters opinion wont impact you very much, but as someone who grew up with these movies, I hope that you know that you really made a difference in peoples lives, even if you experienced more negative feedback than positive. Me and my siblings probably watched the Long Haul about 100 times when we were younger, and it really brought us together during a tough time in our lives dealing with our parents divorce/some deaths in the family. To us, your movie WAS great, and to us, your acting was a spot of light during a very dark time. Your performance truly helped us bond, grow, and learn how to laugh again during such a stressful period- I genuinely dont think we would be as close as we are now if we didnt have that bonding experience that you allowed us. We're obviously very thankful for that. I honestly cant even imagine how difficult it must have been to experience such hatred as such a young person for doing absolutely nothing wrong. People are so deluded nowadays that they forget that were all human and deserving of kindness and love. Your acting in diary of a wimpy kid was awesome, and in my opinion, you truly embodied your character. Though I dont knwo you, you really seem like a great guy, and are honestly so mature and intelligent for being able to actively forgive people. I really hope that you are able to continue succeeding in your life and know that you seriously helped ppl in a major way. Im so happy to see that you have continued pushing and fighting for your right to thrive and find peace. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, and I pray that you are rewarded tenfold with all of the laughter, happiness, and kindness that you have bestowed upon others. Sincerely, a huge fan ❤
people were legitimately just mad at you because you weren’t Devon Bostick and weren’t what they grew up with. ALL of the adverse reactions were based on misplaced nostalgia and none of it was your fault. The rest were just sheep in the herd following along and doing what everyone on the internet does. If you enjoy making videos and want to keep doing it I think you absolutely should! It’s a fun thing to do in your spare time and you definitely have an audience. You earned a sub, looking forward to seeing what you do in the future
back when this joke was going around I honestly thought it was a harmless joke, like "haha theres a new actor for rodrick" but I didn't think it truly mattered. Hearing that you received death threats is WILD, just for being a different person than devon bostick?? that is insane, you did wonderfully in your role. you did not deserve this amount of hate, keep ur chin up king, you are great
Tbh he seems like an exact match for og book Rodrick! Both looks and personality. Book Rodrick wanted to be a rockstar just like him, but he wasn’t some charming teenage heartthrob. He was a mean older brother who seemed like a loser just like Greg, but occasionally stepped up and was remarkably well adjusted for the family. I think he embodies this energy much better than the other Rodrick. Rodrick should be a typical rebellious teenager with big dreams and a chill personality.
I never really understood people getting mad at actors, the blame is usually on the screenwriters and directors for making such god awful choices. You were amazing and honestly one of the best parts of that film
I love Charlie as an actor, Diary of a whimpy kid wasn't his best role but it's not his fault. He did a good acting job, people need to see the difference between actor and character.
Devon Bostick was super iconic and pretty much impossible to measure up to, this shit ain’t your fault big guy, people were just mad at the studio for de-aging everyone for no reason. You were a great Rodrick, and even gave all of the notmyrodrick people plenty of entertainment. You did your job and did it well, and no matter what you’re immortalized. Seeing this video and just your actual personality without a soulless studio pressuring you, you are my Rodrick man, hope you’re doing well
The fact people get so heated over simple movie casting to the point where you send death threats blow my mind. Not your fault man. You played your part, did well and I enjoyed your portrayal.
People are so ready to just be evil pieces of shit to people for the worst reasons ever. Like poor writing, oh CLEARLY it was the actor's fault? Or a new casting? It HAS to be the actors who orchestrated this! It's a shame. I feel like people oughta learn that if you simply don't like an actor's acting... Then just criticize the actor in your review, don't be a psycho and literally try to hunt them down and say evil shit to them.
You seem like a chill ass dude. Weird how people were attacking your character. You were literally an actor who auditioned for a role not someone trying to maliciously “destroy a legacy”
I know I’m a bit late and many have given their condolences and such, but still, I’d just like to say that I think you’re a strong man Charlie! You kept it rolling despite the hate train stopping at your station! 💪
I actually liked Long Haul, even though you didn’t feel like Rodrick, you still did a good job. I would definitely hire you to play someone in my movies in the future.
I find that people who are obsessed with childish kind of stuff are often the most unhinged online. The internet is just so full of weird losers like that.
Honestly, I didn't care about the movies after the 3rd one, let alone the rest of the book series. I'm sure he did a good job acting, he seems nice tho.
In the midst of everyone’s shittiness just know there were plenty of people who never hated you for the Rodrick role. I was excited for that movie to come out and it sucked seeing everyone hating on you. So happy to see you making this comeback now and that people are being nicer to you now
i feel so bad. i never understood why people made fun of actors like this, like why do you think it's their fault lmao?? they're just representing the story!!! i love some of the youtubers that made fun of this guy, but those videos are actually just really rude lmao. you can tell a lot of people just rode on the "notmyrodrick" shenanigan just because it was popular. you're my rodrick, bro.
I watched the movie with my sister days ago (ik its super late), but it was actually fun and cozy to watch, it has the wimpy kid spirit but I really idk why and how all the hate and haters came from I'm proud of you being strong, keep going Charlie
now that i’m older and an adult, i definitely owe you a huge apology. i didn’t go as far as sending death threats, but i did engage in a meme or two. i actually watched the film about a year ago and went, “oh, shoot! this guy’s actually a really good actor!” i was actually laughing! not out of malice, but from genuine enjoyment of how you portrayed rodrick. you were doing your job and you did it amazingly. keep your head up, king, so your crown doesn’t fall off. i can’t wait to see where your talent can take you in the future! ❤
the sad thing is, i really don't think the internet as a whole will change. no matter how many celebrities & public figures speak up. it always happens like this- someone becomes a meme online for acting "cringe", they get bullied and dunked on endlessly, at some point they finally speak up, everyone apologizes & is all like, "the internet is so toxic, it needs to change", but then a few months later everyone's forgotten and a new "cringe" video has come up where another person's getting bullied.
The way you handle these memes is god tier toughness. But seriously nobody should get death threats just for how they were casted. Especially someone who's a relatively new actor and having potential get cut off like that.
I remember hearing about the #notmyrodrick controversy and i thought to myself, man oh man i really hope the actor is okay with this because it's really not even his fault. we wish you the best Mr. Wright.
death threats and racism is actually absurd. i can truthfully say i never hopped on the hate train and i actually enjoyed your performance in DOAWK. im so sorry for everything that happened. i hope youre doing well now. good luck with whatever endeavors you go on. also, u were the best and my favorite part of the movie.
hey charlie, i grew up with the diary of a wimpy kid books/first movie, and you're doing a great job. your portrayal of rodrick made me and my little brother laugh a lot (in a good way), i really enjoyed seeing you on screen!! the internet can be such a horrible place, and people always dogpile on memes/things they don't even care about just because they're bored. i'm really sorry you had to go through so much even after working so hard as an actor. we'll always be here to support you!! ❤
I never got why people hated on somebody who just did his job, and people saying that the movie was bad is not his fault, he didnt write it. also I thought the 'original' films werent that good aswell, thats just my opinion. This dude looks like such a nice person
This guy actually looks rlly attractive to me, it's just that his hairstyle in the show was not it, he looks so much better here! Edit: How tf did this get like 700 likes, I was expecting like no one to see my comment lmao
i agree, his current haircut in this video would’ve been perfect for rodrick. idk why they gave him a middle aged mom hairstyle. (if that was his real hair and he didn’t want to cut it.. WIGS)
Yeah he looks more attractive and cuter now that he’s older. Back then, he looked like he was going through the awkward puberty phase where he looked weird. He kinda looks like Devon now and he could totally play Rodrick if they made another live action movie.
Tbh, I'm actually a little disappointed that the cast of The Long Haul never got any sequels. Personally, and this is a hot take, but I feel like it was a bad idea to start the new cast out with Long Haul. I feel like they should have saved that for later and used something like Cabin Fever or Third Wheel - I feel like we needed to establish the new Wimpy Kid cast a bit more before we took them out on the road. I honestly didn't hate the new cast as much as everybody else did and was curious on who they would cast as Holly, Chirag, Fregley, etc. A shame that that will likely never happen now. I've yet to watch the new animated DOAWK movies, so I don't have much of an opinion on them just yet. A shame that the cast of TLH will never get a second chance now, though.
From what I’ve watched of them, they pretty much bastardized the storylines of the original movies they’re based on to where it isn’t as wacky and over-the-top as they’ve used to be.
I actually needed this. My friends are sending death threats, and I think I could just ignore them. There stupid anyways and I could not listen to them.
No, but majority of people were just calling out the fact he was a poor replacement That's the entire point of not my Roderick It seems just like the hate is from Typical extremis in all cultures
As a huge fan of Devon Bostick, I must say that your work as Rodrick was wonderful, Charlie, you are a great actor and you truly do not deserve all the hate you received, and basically yeah, thank you for bringing back the wonderful character that is Rodrick, the way you did. ❤

@tihssinodnol there's no accountability to be taken 😭 if u didn't like how he was in the movie that's on u, ur not entitled to an apology esp if he did nothing wrong
@tihssinodnolwhat you yapping about??
I think he's fine as rodrick. Don't exactly know how people are able to get mad over an actor not fitting a character when the original character is literally a stick figure.
even till then, he was CASTED for the role and given the script he had to work with, so it isn't even entirely his fault, he just accepted an opportunity even though it sucked, and ran with it. Some people really don't know what makes bad movies as "bad", honestly
If anything they should be mad at the writers. He didn’t make his own lines and did a pretty great performance.
Im guessing that he got hate bcuz of his looks, seeing ppl simped so hard over the og movie rodrick
It’s cause he wasn’t attractive.
Literally the only reason I can “understand” the hate.
@@Papabandana fr they could've cast some tiktok e·boy, the fanbase would eat it up
Honestly I was genuinely one of those people who said “notmyrodrick” and I apologize fr.
I was too, but I was also a kid back then and I grew up reading those books and watching those movies. I didn't want it to change, I wanted it to stay as the thing I loved. But these things happen and that isn't bad. It certainly doesn't warrant genuine hatred like sending death threats to him just for playing a role. Those people are seriously insane if they think that was okay to do
Me too fr, I feel like a total asshole for it-
respect to you guys for admitting that you did the wrong things and apologizing, unlike most people would.
@@vLadeV10 lets also acknowledge that apologies don't make it okay either. I said "not my Rogerick" and that was a very shitty mean thing to do and I knew that and I did it anyway. It comes down to those of us who have done such things, and have grown or are growing to become above that behavior and to not be that way with others anymore. I do genuinely hope this man is doing okay after everything and I'm certain you all do too
@@hamburgerdog25 I appreciate that. Im just acknowledging the fact that you guys realised what you have done and are still aware of it, I gain even more respect now. But I agree that the limit was pushed and I hope he is doing well too.
Dude ur acting was on point. Idk what the writers chose for ur appearance, but u did really good. Sorry that u had to go through this.
The fact that a lot of the hate was probably from ADULTS to a CHILD about a KIDS MOVIE makes this whole thing even more insane. Glad youre back buddy 👍
Can we normalize not calling everyone under 18 "child"? It's so vague. A 5 year old is a child, 17 is practically a young adult

Respect to Charlie for pulling through and I hope things get better for him in the future.
People lost their ever-loving minds because Devon got replaced. And I’ll never understand why people are so comfortable sending someone literal death threats over a freaking movie. Both of y’all did a great job. Cheers to moving on from this mess and still being here 🥂
just because you feel bad doesn't mean you should lie. the performance was ass, and while that is probably the fault of teh writers and the director, saying they both did great is just wrong
@@toasterowens8916 so just because you think it was bad, everyone has to think the same? Bro touch some grass
@@lilieveb Are you not doing the same thing. If people didn't think it was bad then the movie would not have been reviewed the way it was by BOTH critics and audiences consistently for the past 6 years. It sits at a rating of 1.9 on google, 4/10 on imdb, 19 for critics on rotten tomato and 30 for audiences on rotten tomato.
Sending death threats to an actor is never ok, but You people are just trying to feign maturity because you feel guilty about saying "not my Rodrick" 6 years ago, which is fine if you wanna feel guilty about that, but said guilt does not suddenly make the film, or his performance, good.
@@toasterowens8916 I actually liked it 🤷♀️
@@toasterowens8916 it might sound unlikely to you, but I never once participated in the „not my rodrick“ thing because I PERSONALLY liked the movie.
Charlie, I just want to say a few things. Don’t let those negative comments bring you down. It’s not your fault about the whole “#notmyrodrick” situation. You gave off a TON of Rodrick energy and stayed strong through it all. I respect you so much dude🙏🙏🙏
He seems like a genuinely cool guy 😭
You look more like Rodrick than in Long Haul! Your hairstyle in this video is absolutely perfect for him!
I think most of the notmyrodrick-people had a problem against how he was written in the new movie. However the personal insults and deaththreads are beyond unhinged and disturbing
No they didn't. They didn't even watch the film and picked up on him based on his looks
@@maffieduran wasnt just the looks, the trailer and the writing made it seem like he was an insufferable rip off of devins rodrick.
@@fierce1343 again, opinions of movies based off the trailer are usually superficial bc not liking a trailer ≠ watching the movie and hating the actual product you've seen in full lol. people's gut reaction was to how the guy looks and there's no two ways about it
@@fortunamajor7239 I don't need to watch the emoji movie to know it's bad
We owe this man an apology 7 years later
I know that one random commenters opinion wont impact you very much, but as someone who grew up with these movies, I hope that you know that you really made a difference in peoples lives, even if you experienced more negative feedback than positive. Me and my siblings probably watched the Long Haul about 100 times when we were younger, and it really brought us together during a tough time in our lives dealing with our parents divorce/some deaths in the family. To us, your movie WAS great, and to us, your acting was a spot of light during a very dark time. Your performance truly helped us bond, grow, and learn how to laugh again during such a stressful period- I genuinely dont think we would be as close as we are now if we didnt have that bonding experience that you allowed us. We're obviously very thankful for that.
I honestly cant even imagine how difficult it must have been to experience such hatred as such a young person for doing absolutely nothing wrong. People are so deluded nowadays that they forget that were all human and deserving of kindness and love. Your acting in diary of a wimpy kid was awesome, and in my opinion, you truly embodied your character. Though I dont knwo you, you really seem like a great guy, and are honestly so mature and intelligent for being able to actively forgive people. I really hope that you are able to continue succeeding in your life and know that you seriously helped ppl in a major way. Im so happy to see that you have continued pushing and fighting for your right to thrive and find peace. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, and I pray that you are rewarded tenfold with all of the laughter, happiness, and kindness that you have bestowed upon others.
Sincerely,
a huge fan ❤

It’s so disappointing to hear how much hate you got. I’m glad that you’re doing better 💛
people were legitimately just mad at you because you weren’t Devon Bostick and weren’t what they grew up with. ALL of the adverse reactions were based on misplaced nostalgia and none of it was your fault. The rest were just sheep in the herd following along and doing what everyone on the internet does.
If you enjoy making videos and want to keep doing it I think you absolutely should! It’s a fun thing to do in your spare time and you definitely have an audience. You earned a sub, looking forward to seeing what you do in the future

Hearing that you received death threats is WILD, just for being a different person than devon bostick?? that is insane, you did wonderfully in your role. you did not deserve this amount of hate, keep ur chin up king, you are great
Was in the same boat, people take jokes way too far a lot of time.

"that would've been a nice bag" 😂 this dude is too real hope he can make a comeback
Tbh he seems like an exact match for og book Rodrick! Both looks and personality. Book Rodrick wanted to be a rockstar just like him, but he wasn’t some charming teenage heartthrob. He was a mean older brother who seemed like a loser just like Greg, but occasionally stepped up and was remarkably well adjusted for the family. I think he embodies this energy much better than the other Rodrick. Rodrick should be a typical rebellious teenager with big dreams and a chill personality.
Nah, Devon Bostick really captured the soul of Rodrick
@@slimshady27Too hot to be rodrick

Crazy seeing another side of the story. Death threats over Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie is insanity
I never really understood people getting mad at actors, the blame is usually on the screenwriters and directors for making such god awful choices. You were amazing and honestly one of the best parts of that film
I love Charlie as an actor, Diary of a whimpy kid wasn't his best role but it's not his fault. He did a good acting job, people need to see the difference between actor and character.
Devon Bostick was super iconic and pretty much impossible to measure up to, this shit ain’t your fault big guy, people were just mad at the studio for de-aging everyone for no reason. You were a great Rodrick, and even gave all of the notmyrodrick people plenty of entertainment. You did your job and did it well, and no matter what you’re immortalized. Seeing this video and just your actual personality without a soulless studio pressuring you, you are my Rodrick man, hope you’re doing well
The fact people get so heated over simple movie casting to the point where you send death threats blow my mind. Not your fault man. You played your part, did well and I enjoyed your portrayal.
People are so ready to just be evil pieces of shit to people for the worst reasons ever. Like poor writing, oh CLEARLY it was the actor's fault? Or a new casting? It HAS to be the actors who orchestrated this!
It's a shame. I feel like people oughta learn that if you simply don't like an actor's acting... Then just criticize the actor in your review, don't be a psycho and literally try to hunt them down and say evil shit to them.

I watched the movie with my sister days ago (ik its super late), but it was actually fun and cozy to watch, it has the wimpy kid spirit but I really idk why and how all the hate and haters came from
I'm proud of you being strong, keep going Charlie
now that i’m older and an adult, i definitely owe you a huge apology. i didn’t go as far as sending death threats, but i did engage in a meme or two. i actually watched the film about a year ago and went, “oh, shoot! this guy’s actually a really good actor!” i was actually laughing! not out of malice, but from genuine enjoyment of how you portrayed rodrick. you were doing your job and you did it amazingly. keep your head up, king, so your crown doesn’t fall off. i can’t wait to see where your talent can take you in the future! ❤
You being Roderick is literally the reason I followed you on Instagram. Beast mode guy
You’re my Rodrick, pookie. You make me laugh and I appreciate you.
the sad thing is, i really don't think the internet as a whole will change. no matter how many celebrities & public figures speak up. it always happens like this- someone becomes a meme online for acting "cringe", they get bullied and dunked on endlessly, at some point they finally speak up, everyone apologizes & is all like, "the internet is so toxic, it needs to change", but then a few months later everyone's forgotten and a new "cringe" video has come up where another person's getting bullied.
The way you handle these memes is god tier toughness. But seriously nobody should get death threats just for how they were casted. Especially someone who's a relatively new actor and having potential get cut off like that.
The weird thing is, he actually has a Rodrick vibe in this video. The irony!
I remember hearing about the #notmyrodrick controversy and i thought to myself, man oh man i really hope the actor is okay with this because it's really not even his fault. we wish you the best Mr. Wright.
he seems like a really genuine dude 👍
This is SO FRICKING AWESOME, I'm so glad we're getting this perspective. I always thought the hate was so bizarre and cruel.
death threats and racism is actually absurd. i can truthfully say i never hopped on the hate train and i actually enjoyed your performance in DOAWK. im so sorry for everything that happened. i hope youre doing well now. good luck with whatever endeavors you go on. also, u were the best and my favorite part of the movie.
hey charlie, i grew up with the diary of a wimpy kid books/first movie, and you're doing a great job. your portrayal of rodrick made me and my little brother laugh a lot (in a good way), i really enjoyed seeing you on screen!!
the internet can be such a horrible place, and people always dogpile on memes/things they don't even care about just because they're bored. i'm really sorry you had to go through so much even after working so hard as an actor. we'll always be here to support you!! ❤
Glad you enjoyed the movie 👍
I never got why people hated on somebody who just did his job, and people saying that the movie was bad is not his fault, he didnt write it. also I thought the 'original' films werent that good aswell, thats just my opinion.

Edit: How tf did this get like 700 likes, I was expecting like no one to see my comment lmao
i agree, his current haircut in this video would’ve been perfect for rodrick. idk why they gave him a middle aged mom hairstyle. (if that was his real hair and he didn’t want to cut it.. WIGS)
that's so real
although my bias for lanky emo boys is coming in strong here..
he’a also a lot older
Yeah he looks more attractive and cuter now that he’s older. Back then, he looked like he was going through the awkward puberty phase where he looked weird. He kinda looks like Devon now and he could totally play Rodrick if they made another live action movie.
Yeah that haircut was doing him absolutely NO favors in the movie
"rest in peace that woulda been a nice bag" lmfao I like you bro excited to see where your newfound RUclips path takes you
Tbh, I'm actually a little disappointed that the cast of The Long Haul never got any sequels. Personally, and this is a hot take, but I feel like it was a bad idea to start the new cast out with Long Haul. I feel like they should have saved that for later and used something like Cabin Fever or Third Wheel - I feel like we needed to establish the new Wimpy Kid cast a bit more before we took them out on the road. I honestly didn't hate the new cast as much as everybody else did and was curious on who they would cast as Holly, Chirag, Fregley, etc. A shame that that will likely never happen now. I've yet to watch the new animated DOAWK movies, so I don't have much of an opinion on them just yet. A shame that the cast of TLH will never get a second chance now, though.
From what I’ve watched of them, they pretty much bastardized the storylines of the original movies they’re based on to where it isn’t as wacky and over-the-top as they’ve used to be.
I actually needed this. My friends are sending death threats, and I think I could just ignore them. There stupid anyways and I could not listen to them.
Do people just forget that these actors are *REAL PEOPLE!?!?*
