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.
Gandhi was the reason it was canceled 20 years ago. There were actual hunger strikes in India because they didn't like how he was portrayed.
Isn't starving the basic state of being in India? How the fuck can they go on a hunger strike and why would anyone care?
