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.
Velma was orders of magnitude times worse. There's for sure a lot of 'current year' taint to the Clone High reboot, but it's not overtly malicious and contemptuous of the original like too many reboots are these days.
When the new Clone High has a "twerking over Fred's mother's corpse" moment, then they will be comparable.
