Not sure if anyone was on the fence about the remake because they liked the original, if so you can skip it. I thought maybe there was a slim bit of hope it would be decent but it manages to be worse in every single way.
I did a double take at the list of new 'clones' in the school, and got rid of one of the best characters / changed the voice actor for another simply to avoid any criticism. Seriously though here is who they add:
Among the new names are Confucius (Kelvin Yu), Harriet Tubman (Ayo Edebiri), Christopher Columbus (Neil Casey), and Frida Kahlo (Vicci Martinez),
They also replace the Principal with a woman, all the 'shadowy military figures' are now women and black people (literally all of them)...the writing was awful, late night show bullshit.
I'd say it is worse than Velma but I could only stomach half of the first episode so who knows it might get worse. Still stay far, far away from this shit.
Sadly it is the same people involved as the original, Phil Lord and Chris Miller. I thought they'd maybe want to keep one of their early works the same but no, they tried to 'modernize it' and turned gold to shit.
Great satire in the original series though. MTV had a few bangers back in the day, Liquid Television was so far ahead of its time.
