I agree. If you look at them in the class rooms, they blend into the background. Which should NEVER happen to vital or important characters. It also kills any sort of individuality that girls like these, would have. If the director wanted to stick with the horrible "cutesy" look the film had, then have them dress in Cottagecore. If you look on tik tok there are plenty of wiccans-the original magic that inspired the caft-that have the Cottagecore look or have this alternative look to them. That way we can pick these girls out of a crowd, but also have a semblance of understanding as to why no one likes them. For me the person in charge of costuming should have been fired for this reasoning.

@@kittygrimm7301 Yup, in The Legacy, dabbling in magic was taken sooo lightly. It was obvious that there were no consultants, unlike in The Craft. Like, how can a below-novice level group of wannabe witch girls be able to conduct a feat as big as stopping time? In The Craft, the feats the girls performed, altgough amazing, remain simple and quite believable. The Craft was also logical in a sense that the more they practice, the better they got, and the larger the feats they were able to perform. In The Legacy, I find it hard to believe that the characters are able to perform even the lowest magic trick. Why? Because witchcraft acts require overwhelming determination and desire for the feat or act or spell you want to get done. Sarah, Nancy, Rochelle, and Bonnie all have backgrounds that justifies how much and how badly they want the things they want, and that's why their magic was effective. Their desperation drives the force. But in The Legacy, all the kiddos do not have enough motivation. They are not sad enough nor angry enough. They don't even have any emotions when doing the acts. Magic has laws. Whether the filmmakers believe in magic or not, I wish they took into consideration that magic has laws just like nature.

The use of practical effects made the magic seem tangible in a way that at first left you guessing whether or not it was all just coincidence or if they actually have powers.

About their clothes, I see how they're outcasts. Even though fashion has changed to a more grungy 90's style, we need to remember that alot of "popular" girls' fashion is inspired by the Kardashians and the probably buy their clothes from shien/PLT/ASOS, as we're still in the era of "Instagram baddie".

It shocks me how much new technology we have for movies and special affects and yet our storyline/plot SUUUUCKK!!

The biggest flaw for me is that what made the original cool and iconic was how dark magic made them dangerous to the people around them but also to each other, but this one was so... light? They could have done a different movie about a feminist coven with light magic and call it a day but they decided to do this. Why call it a remake/sequel to The Craft if the tone is completely different? It missed the whole point of the OG. It's like one of those autumn influencer girls directed the movie lol.

The costumes are so horrible I'm glad it's just a soft reboot not a sequel. Nancy will use dark magic in the inevitable sequel so the point still stands.

I agree every generation needs their own cult movies however studios, producers, writers and directors SHOULD make an effort to create and deliver quality stuff. Teens and kids aren't stupid they can handle dark/ harsh themes and character development. A good movie doesn't need to be pretencious or artsy or edgy to be good. A good or at least memorable movie needs to feel REAL. Characters we can sympathize with, situations we can relate, depict actions to make us say "What would I do? Oh, yeah, exactly that or go, hell no! and even somthing morally gray like I get, not for me thou" as well as the repercurssions derived from them. That's it. DELIVER A DECENT MOVIE.

I'm a witch, I practice witchcraft. and I absolutely loved the craft 1996 because it was so natural. I felt like they actually tried with making it as close to real witchcraft. THE NEW ONE, OH BOY 😭 IT HURT

They could have brought such a cool spin on this by letting each of them bring a bit of their own culture into the movie. Brujería, voodoo, Santeria, etc...and rather than have the girls of color act as her back up band, let each one shine with a more fleshed out back story. Bringing the O.G. cast back would also have been awesome. Perhaps if they had to fight AGAINST Nancy Downs and her daughter, instead of watering it down to "The Babysitter's Club Plays With Magic," They needed a true protagonist. That would be a reboot I would want to see.

Honestly the period scene would’ve be better if it went like this: she felt it coming and asked to leave (she’s shy and the new girl so she didn’t explain why) the teacher denied it, then she insisted without explaining until she got “exposed” but the teacher still denied it so she stopped. None of the other girls were there, all of her classmates in that class were assholes that didn’t help her at all, so we see her slowly crumbling down while the classmates giggle. At the end of the class she zooms out of the classroom and that’s when we see the pool of blood (have the guy that’s supposed to “fall” for her react the loudest). She only first meets the other girls in the hall/bathroom. This way we can establish the toxic patriarchal way of thinking, the way that affects the main character and the bullies, plus we can antagonize the other students and make the girls stand out meanwhile being a more relatable and understandable experience.

A female character being powerful doesn't mean she's a Mary Sue. I haven't seen this remake but wasn't the main character in the original also more powerful than the others and could make things happen without trying too hard. Captain Marvel is not a Mary Sue. She's powerful, yes, but she worked really hard to become a pilot, then got powers by accident. Then she is trained to be a Kree warrior so it makes sense why she's good when her powers are unleashed for real. Also at this point Mary Sue is used for any female character who's good at something. Male characters who are equally good never get this complaint. People call Rey from Star Wars a Mary Sue for her force powers, and being a good pilot but have no problem with Luke or Anakin being good at the same things. In Star Trek 2009, Kirk solves the test that's supposed to be impossible and he's promoted to captain by the end of the film even though he has little experience. If a female character did this there would be endless complaints. I'm not saying the writing female characters is always good and can't be criticized but there's definitely a double standard.

Some advice from an adult woman for younger women: whenever I bled through in class, I would sit and wait until the end of class, and whisper to the closest girl in my class that I needed some help. Then, when everyone is leaving, the girl would hang back with me and she would either ask the teacher for some assistance, or if she had a jacket or flannel, she’d let me wrap it around my waist (hiding the bum) and I’d make an escape to the bathroom and give her the jacket back asap. It’s a great way to bond with another girl in your class, avoid involving a male teacher or any other potential problems. If you feel comfortable with the teacher and nobody else in a class, just stay after the class and pretend to slowly pack your stuff up. Either way, if you’re embarrassed, don’t be. It’s a normal bodily function that has some sanitation problems, but NOTHING ELSE. Make sure you clean up properly, practice some self love, and be safe. If anyone makes fun of you for your period, make fun of them for being so immature. 💜💜

I agree with all of that, also I saw no point of the cameo of Nancy, if there's no story about it afterwards. This didn't feel like a sequel but, a poorly written rushed story. This generation deserves so much more than that.

I’m on the older side of this target demographic and while I do actually like some of the costumes, I’m pretty disappointed with the lack of development with the other girls.

But fans reacted poorly to that concept so they said it was a sequel instead. There's nothing "soft" about this reboot to me.

One of the reasons why The Craft has survived for so long and is so well remember today is because it was an actual horror/thriller movie. This movie looks like what Disney would have made had it made The Craft. I hope they make an actually scary, thrilling reboot for the craft next.

Like, the light as a feather scene in the original helped me better understand the magic system in their world. In Legacy, it felt like they could just do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted with no need to grow their powers.

Just rewatched the OG movie omg and here’s your video on the "sequel"🤭 Now that’s magic haha

I don’t think there’s a problem with having a white protagonist, the problem occurs when the people of colour get pushed into the background and denied any subplots or character depth. And this was what the movie threw at us.

"Why would you have a female character deliver a misogynistic insult?" - Because women internalize and propagate misogyny just as much as men, m'dear.

obviously (with that sweet, condescending “m’dear”) 🙄 but this film doesn’t showcase this in any way except for that single scene. there are ways to have characters with internalized misogyny that make sense, this film didn’t do that. it also gives none of its female characters flaws at all, so clearly it wasnt going for “realism”

@@ModernGurlz Oh sorry hun, I genuinely didn't mean it to be condescending, more playful. My apologies if it was taken that way.

@@ModernGurlz And you're probably right that my interpreting it that way was probably too generous to the filmmakers, lol. Though to be fair, it's still a valid point in general, I think :)
