we need to talk about the craft: legacy (a review) 🕯🔮✨ 

A chanel (the things) that has 1 million followers copied you're video of Cinderella ball gown

They’re making a third legally Blonde movie can’t wait for a another train wreck 💖

@@ms.openhearted1731 I HOPE that Reese Witherspoon is actually involved in this project, unlike the abomination that was "Legally Blondes!" 🤞

Can we have a craft outfit video please?? 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Goddmnit Sony! You were the Chosen One!

They don’t even act weird either. They look and act like a typical close-knit group of teenage girls.

@@marissaurias5116 how about showing girls that had different mental health problems? Girls who didn’t dress in a conventional way or conform to a conventional standard of beauty? Girls who say weird things and are into weird or obscure things and don’t care about what others think about it? Girls who don’t care about inconsequential high school crushes or relationships? The girls in the craft are wise for their age, it seems like a mildly sexist cliche at this point that the main source of tension is based off of a crush.

@@marissaurias5116 exactly!

@@marissaurias5116 but that’s the kicker. I think it’s truly of this time. Most kids this generation really have a woe is me kind of mentality when they REALLY don’t have it that bad in most cases and aren’t really considered weird.

They filmed multiple versions of it, too. The trailer version is different from the movie version. So it was *very* forced

yes! they dress like the type of girls who would bully the girls from the first film

the only time the style was atleast someone correct is at the funeral 💀

@@sillygoose3871 fr

The line is stolen from the original Craft that's why. It doesn't fit these girls tho

@@BPacheco8 I know, that's what made the scene even worse. It was so forced 💀

frr bruh

If teens wrote the dialogue it would still be cringey because y’all are...wait for it...cringey. Every teen is at some points but if you take good look at Tik Tok you’ll see the dialogue is not far fetched

@@thevelvetdead3357 there are teen writers. A teenage writer could easily make the script for a teen movie 100x better because 1.they know how to write and 2.they’re actually a current teen and not some 50 year old trying to write how younger people talk.

@@nativenewyorker3144 yeah but this would still be extremely pc, as us gen z are. It’s simply a horrible movie that shouldn’t have been made.

@@him1517 that is very true. 👩🏾‍🦯

Serious question: that "family crest" David Duchovny's character tells Lily about, was that based on the Horned God symbol?

@@pompe221 The crest, to me, looks more Grecian inspired, doesnt look very like a symbol of the Horned God, although yes, the snakes do look to represent horns on the crest, but it sorta reminds me of a Free Mason's symbol

To be fair, their patron deity isn't real, either....

@@JadeEyes1 Manoh/Mana from the original film? Idk how it's supposed to be spelled, but yeah, I suppose that's true

How did this film not take the time to find a consultant when it was written to be so woke?

True

it’d make so much more sense as to why they’re “outcasts”

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.

@@steelessummerbreeze6299 “cottagecore” is a trend. They aren’t supposed to be trendy. Alternative fashion and “cottagecore” are very different from each other too. The whole point of my comment was that I believed they shouldn’t have dressed like the typical fake wiccan teenager on tiktok, they should’ve dressed like outcasts.

It wasn’t their clothes for me, it was the fact that the three other girls were never seen apart from each other. No backstory, no reason to care for them, not even a weird sense of fashion would have saved them

This explains it perfectly. I'm 23 but I still like to watch "teen" movies from time to time and I have yet to find any after the date of 2014 that are good. I feel bad for current teens because they just keep getting handed cheesy shit :/ There are good shows but basically no good movies

@@CheerUp2 i don’t know when the edge of seventeen was made but that’s one of the most down to earth teen movies that doesn’t feel too forced as the problems she has is something teens face today but now most teen movies focus boys or just basic Romance

@CheerUp2 watch Ladybird, Love Simon and Booksmart. They’re pretty good

@@CheerUp2 I feel like it’s just the ones that are the most mentioned that are the cheesy cash grabs. There are some good ones out there though.

Yeah

It was. And shockingly written by a woman. This lady is a bad writer.

It really is cartoonish and unrealistic. Something similar almost happen to a friend of mine who was wearing gym shorts. Even then it stayed on the seat, and she didn't get up because she knew and could feel it.

It was exagerated

Like as someone who has had that happen to them like boys pointing and laughing and getting embarrassed and having to run out of the classroom it was literally never that cartoonist like first of all if you had blood pooling in your seat you would most definitely feel it. TMI but I have a heavier flow and that is just not something that happens like how long was she sitting in math class for blood to be able to accumulate through the layers of her clothing onto the seat and drip onto the floor that is not enough for like the 45 minute period you get in school💀💀💀 like the most you’re gonna get is like a big stain on the back of your pants in like some Dried blood on the seat it’s like they just had her sit in fake blood and then filmed

Idk that actually happened to meeeee lol. I caught it quick but paired with the type of pants I was wearing and the fact I was wearing thongs, I felt myself start and it deadass left a little puddle in my seat.

we love guys like u

Thank you for being a decent person! (That's not sarcasm. Wish there were more people in the world like you.)

Guys either do this or run away lol

That was very kind of you.

This entire movie is like those "goth" chicks on IG who used to bully the weird girls in school but now they're all #gothkween It's just a cheap hallmark movie version of the original with a BS gen Z filter

In all fairness, they were also using magick irresponsibility in the original, but that was the point and there were consequences for their irresponsible use of magick. The threefold law's a motherfucker that way.

@@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.

Don't they bind themselves?

you do realize magic is fake right?

It was plain trash

@@vdiddy1103 "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" had potential mostly in 1 season but the show was ruined when they added this cringe singing

@@youhaveniceshoes1939 that was only season 3 tbh

yeah they need to give them something better

So boring... That's why I don't watch new stuff anymore, I always get disappointed...

It’s made by people with kids who clearly judge them

I think a big part of that was the actress who plays Nancy. She's Wiccan in real life I think & owns that shop the original girls stole from so she made sure the movie was respectful to the real practice

Yeah. It came as a surprise anonymous didn't know if it would actually happen. Or when Sarah changed her eye color at first and they were like, "Oh....." lol.

@@BPacheco8 and they literally hired a practicing Wiccan as a consultant.

Did it? I’d say the gravity defying pencil and the love spell and the hair removal curse were pretty clearly magic. It didn’t have the glowing lights and sparkles but it was clearly not just a coincidence. Did you mean more organic?

@@mhfromnh1421 came here to say this.

Exactly

it comes off as disingenuous and false and just completely unnatural, and it doesn’t even seem like real witchcraft, it seems like the internet’s “witch aesthetic” version

@@Sophie_Pea the worst part is they casted ppl to make kind of "real" witchcraft and spells (srry 'bout my english)

Me too, when I'm watching a movie I don't want to be lectured to. As a female these movies are embarrassing.

@@Sophie_Pea yea not what they are getting at nice misdirect though

couldn’t have said it better

Says a lot when the 90s version was a lot more progressive 😂

I hate that the main character always has to be white in every movie with a ‘diverse’ cast. It’s like saying that white girls can’t relate to or identify with a poc main character, which is completely untrue.

@@vladaimpaler It's not at all untrue, you see how mad white women/and men get when white male protagonists get a POC love interest in a popular show? The POC get so much backlash to the point where they're either scrapped/and or replaced with a white female It's happened with Sleepy Hallow, Boys Meet World, The Flash, Person of Interest, Doctor Who, Saved By The Bell (Lisa was originally the love interest for Zac, but that was scrapped because of backlash), Glee, Grey's Anatomy, Anne With An E, This is Us, You, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Twisted (A show that got canceled), Teen Titans (Live Action), Friends (I may be a little older, but I remember when Aisha Tyler got major backlash when she was Ross's supposed love interest), Riverdale, and more!

@@terrier-9544 that’s more jealousy than anything. Even in cases where that is true, I still think that directors should challenge that by putting a poc in the main role. Most filmmakers are trying to appeal to the widest possible demographic and that includes the huge demographic of racist white women, but the craft is supposed to be a more challenging feminist film. I really wish they had at least developed the poc characters more.

A lot of the actual good films that come out recently are indie and smaller companies like A24 films. But teen and kid catered movies are just......garbage since the start of 2015. Its re-boot after re-boot done poorly.

Stop hiring basic

Oh blessed Jesus yes

Agreed. Everything is about money and demographics now. Like, that's always been the case, but it's extreme now. This movie could be summed up entirely by one thought process: "oh let's just tag whatever is trending on social media and put it in a movie with nothing of substance to actually back it up!" There's nothing there. It's just a shell designed to score easy points and money.

Get rid of the paedophiles and we're half way there

Oh, 100% this.

lol if i wanted to watch a witch movie i would've watched Mary and the Witch's Flower. At least that movie was good, even if it was rushed (i highly recommend watching it tho its on Netflix)

Because of name recognition, and if I remember well, this started out as a remake of The Craft.

We didn’t want this either I would much rather watch the original

Exactly. If they’re going to give teens their own witch movie, they at deserve to have a good one.

True , but you know if ppl watch this they inevertably gonna stumbled upon the OG Craft and watch that, I would put money on it that everyone gonna like the original better than the "sequal"

cuz it probably is

Don't put it on us. This was written and directed by an older Millennial. Gen Xers are between the ages of 41 and 54 now. The writer/director for this is 38. Born in 1982. Gen X would have shoved those girls back into goth clothing and made the movie scary. Modern styles and movie trends be damned.

@@mekkio77 tbh 1982 is the first year from the millenial generation since they graduated school in 2000 and that's why they are called millenials... so for everyone born before that, congrats, youre not millenials

@@yonicorn1641 "tbh" Nothing. Millennials started on 1980. Gen X ended 1979. As a Gen Xer, I should know about my own generation. Besides, the first Craft movie was written by a Boomer. So this whole generation thing is hogwash.

@@mekkio77 I think it’s arbitrary to push this director onto a specific generation. Neither of us wants to claim them. It’s simply bad writing at the end of it, just how there can be good writing found on both sides.

You mean three women and a man. The fourth witch is a man no matter what the costume looks like.

To be fair, the movie does answer that: he's much older and more powerful. But on that note, the four of them were amateurs and shouldn't have been able to take him on their own.

@@unit586 do you really need to come to a video about a teen movie to be transphobic?

@@unit586 Disgusting comment.

@@overgrownkudzu A film about women's power and witchcraft hired a trans actor to play a trans character because muh "transwomen are women." It failed because of that. Males aren't women.

I know, Black Christmas (1974) was already a good feminist film, they ruined it by making it unrealistic and cheap...

Seriously! Everything tries to be “relatable” and it sucks

ughh i love this comment especially the "slay queen queen woke bae" part bc that's so true with how they try to be hip with da kidz when they clearly have cash grabs in mind. Like cmon, at least execute it properly.

And they did Billy Lenz dirty...

Honestly I just wanna see The Craft but it’s actually super gay, keeping pretty much all the style and substance of the original. Subtext!! Isn’t!! Enough!!

LOL. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No because one of the shirts Frankie wears is a literal shirt that was on sale on the forever 21 website- I know this because I bought the same shirt, and it was on sale! 😭😭😭

One of the skirts the main character wore was straight from Hot Topic. I know because I was considering buying it not too long ago.

I think they found the script there too.

Because everyone dresses the same now. Everything is now an aesthetic and nothing is original or creative.

It was written by a woman though

No joke I was in a situation EXACTLY like that while I was taking the ACT. However, I was wearing a skirt that was far thinner than jeans and I only wetted them and the seat. Nobody even knew until afterwards.

@@luthientinuviel3883 I have wetted the seat too once because apparemtly my pad had moved or smth? Thankfully though my jeans were stained on the inside of my thighs and down my crotch so I could walk for a few minutes to my house without anyone paying attention to me.

Luthien Tinuviel something like that happend to me too! My point was about her period blood literally dripping from the chair. That would never happend, especially while wearing jeans! For her to bleed like... I don’t even know how would that be possible, and if you woudl bleed like that you would probably faint because you were loosing so much blood

I thought it was an homage to Carrie.😂😂😂😂

Little birdie 🤮🤮

I LOVE YOU!! COLLAB MAKE IT HAPPEN😭

I watched the original movie yesterday and honestly compared to it legacy feels like a wattpad fanfic with feminist clichés, weird references to the original bad plotline And nancy-which was kindda cool

he is gross. men do need to man up tho lol

@@hyungeum2907 you just described every movie made in pc era

Oh, sis. We didn’t need this tea 🍵 It really does feel exactly like a fan fic.

No. They are dressed like pretentious gen z girls trying to look different. It didn't work

I agree the customers were totally flat :/

I’m so upset because now the adopted story line has already been done, but it would have been cool to see Sarah’s daughter and Nacys daughter interact with eachother and stuff

@@nevaehnicole6974 I feel like that would be totally unnecessary tbh

@@josmith7217 maybe they are friends, maybe Sarah’s daughter is the one that takes things to far this time. It would be an interesting dynamic.

the costumes look like they just threw them in a forever21 random outfit generator and just rolled with it

It reminded me of "wombyn"

I cringed so fucking hard

I FUCKING HATED THAT 😭

what does that even meannn. i didn’t understand it lmao

@@killjoy555. changing it to “womxn” supposedly makes it more inclusive to trans women...... except most trans women have stated that they would rather just be called WOMEN because “womxn” is just as disrespectful as saying they aren’t normal women

100% agree

Seriously, at least we cared about the original girls. We felt sorry for them and understood why they used magic, but this one just seemed like, “oh we have magic, woohoo.” Didn’t even give us a reason to like the other girls, they were just kinda there

you can't cut and copy a personality as easy as the "aesthetic" they just based the whole movie around.

Straight H&S and LOL dolls

Wouldn’t she not have powers since Nancy is her mom

True. Sarah was the only one with powers.

I don’t think it was that Sarah was the “only” real witch, it was simply that she was more powerful than them, possibly because she came from a bloodline of witches which is mentioned when the lady at the store know her mother was a witch. The other girls on the other hand had technically been sort of new to the craft and ended up misusing it

@@jdnd.6604 when Sarah left the group the others lost their powers because they never had any

As much as Sarah was the protagonist "natural witch" I always felt Nancy was other side of Sarah's coin... both were natural witches but Nancy was more power hungry and extroverted.

Thank you Teti

@@carmenmonroe7 you’re welcome carmenmonroe7

Born in 2004 and I agree.

well this is a woke channel, so I'm sure she enjoyed the woke "woman power" talking points

Mulan has left the chat

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.

Lazy writing

I don't agree that this has anything to do with Feminism, i think too, that it's just lazy writing, the easiest trope basically. I really like charmed for that exact reason, i loved how they had so many failed spells and problems with controlling their new powers, but slowly grew into them. They felt more human.

@@violaivy captain marvel is the definition of a Mary Sue lol. Her, Mulan, and Rey are such flat characters because of it.

it’s definitely not even out of style

Tbh out of style for today would be dressing normal asf not basic but normal. In the sense where you didn't think about what you're putting on your body at all or care too. In 2020 and for the past few years now, a lot of styles that weren't cool before are now. They should have kept the uniforms tbh and styled them to their individual personalities like in the original.

I mean goth/grunge is something that never goes out of style, there will always be kids at every school in every state in every time period that will have goth/grunge kids. How they wear it might change but not too much

Even just the lighting in this movie makes it bland. The lighting and color palette in the original was very muted apart from the very few scenes they were out in nature communication with Manon. It had a purpose in communicating the scene. Whereas in this movie it was always bright or colorful....it's a movie of telling you everything, but showing you nothing really.

Much like vinyl, goth/grunge is still in style.

You make a great point. In the original, you saw WHY the girls had those issues and routed for them (even though they got it back x3) This films makes the issues seem less organic and forced solely to show diversity and address current issues.

Your English is great

Right!?!? It feels like watching a stereotype! Give me the Craft with characters as rich as Euphoria and I’m sure a lot more people would watch it

I totally agree! I didn't catch anyones name besides Lily and Timmy because they were so blank!

Youth today are in mediocrity bound to tiktok

Yeah that sounds better

That's way better and way more realistic

I like your idea but realistically I feel like the teacher would’ve let her go to the bathroom if she said it’s a female emergency because that’s what teachers are supposed to do. Maybe another alternative is her not noticing her period because she wasn’t paying attention and the teacher asks her to answer something up at the board because he noticed her dozing off then once she stands up the guys sees the blood, they start to mention it and say ew then she runs out the class room . Just like modern gurlz had described .

@@marissaurias5116 idk what schools you went to but when I said I have a FEMALE emergency to a teacher, male or female, they let me go because they have to and they understand. No teacher in their right minds would let a girl, dripping in period blood, not go to the bathroom to clean herself off. If any teacher is like that, they should be reported and fired.

@@marissaurias5116 I’m sorry that happened to you but at that point I would stand my ass up and head for the door. I wouldn’t allow my teacher to ridicule me like that... idc if I get in trouble.. I had a female emergency and as a female I hoped that teacher would’ve understood and she didn’t , that’s her fault. Plus it’s not like the teacher is gonna try to stop you because she’d be wasting everyone’s class time..

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 :)

You mean more than men

@@joysmith5714 late but I read it as playful and not directed to @moderngurlz weird reaction from her.

maybe that was the problem; they had so many topics to try and fit into one movie that they couldn’t do any solid work or evolvement for any of them:/

@@Sophie_Pea I think its a weird catch 22 for a lot of modern films, especially when trying to appeal to zoomers mostly.

@@Marauder131 i’m a zoomer (idk if i’m an “older one” or not because i’m 20?) but i definitely can see what you mean. there’s a very specific audience they’re trying to cater to, and a lot of the time, especially when they throw in random slang that’s out of date or no one uses irl, it just comes across as tacky or as an older person trying to relate to younger people. which is probably exactly who the writers are tbh. or when they try to come off as “woke” by putting in as many right wing topics as possible, or kind of unnaturally force them into the plot and make it cringe or just outright awkward. i get where they’re going, and i’m all for it, but if they wanna make a message they need to go about it in a proper way

Exactly

I know and we barely get bi rep.

Not only that, Lily decides to decide over him, his feeling and his sexuality. Knowing he was in love with her stepbrother she took advantage of him through a “love spell”, that’s terribly f*ckd up!

I know every generation goes through remakes. It has happened since the creation of films. But I still feel protective of some of the films I watched as a child lol.

Totally it’s like the writers who make moves now don’t seem to know anything about teenagers

I highly recommend the movie "We Need to Do Something ". It's very original, has a great twist, plot, acting. Definitely a must see if you wanna see a modern movie on teen girls magical journeys. And it's a creepy one too.

It wasn't that Lily did a love spell, it's that she did a spell on someone already under a spell.

her spell was to make him (I quote) "the best version of himself" so they did keep his personality, just highlight it. While in the original, her spell is " I want him to love me" which lead to obsession. That is what I understood :)

Even if someone is a terrible dickhead like Timmy, you can’t just...brainwash them. The love spell is another matter but they were already way in the wrong for messing with him like that. If they want revenge then just be petty, don’t rewire his brain and soul. And THEN Lily does the love spell which is pretty much the equivalent of drugging someone to sleep with them. It’s way past time the love spell idea is dropped entirely or actually talked about. We have a lot of convos about consent, it’s past time for this one.

@@sloanep9409 it was still wrong af

And also, what happened to the Three Times rule? Why didn't it rebound on them three times as powerful?

I don’t like it either. As soon as I saw the trailer I knew it wouldn’t be as good as the original.

@@imbored1989 same 😬😭

yep, 19 and can attest to that...Good thing I saw the classics as a child with my siblings 😂 and rewatched them years later to understand it more. I learned English through movies really bc it's not my first language so it was ok for me because I wasn't able to understand all the adult stuff 😂.

@@am-xr4ve thats cool you learned English from movies like that. And yeah, my mother was all about the movies she grew up with

Same, The Craft (1996) has been one of my fav movies since I was a kid, this movie was awful fr, idk if a 2007 kid would enjoy Legacy or not, but the original it's just timeless and ICONIC

Exactly! Even when they wore their school uniforms they managed to stand out.

I like this comment

It just got released on demand in the United States on October 28th last week. ☺️

You’re better off skipping it, trust me

I've been seeing adds of it everywhere on Instagram and it looked pretty cringy

No worries, they shouldn't have made this trash!

You don't JK LMAO every once in while IRL?

I’m sad to say I know kids who talk like this irl. It’s like they have to use every trendy word or slang in everything they say

Just think of almost ANY Disney movie, a lot of them are iconic but barely any of their sequels are good.

honestly it’s so hard to find an enjoyable sequel, especially ones like this that are “reboots” from classics that should’ve just been left alone

how about stop over saturating the word iconic, its lost all meaning, similar in fashion to reboots and legacy films ruining things.

@@Brian5mb the craft is a 90s cult classic, and a lot of people would consider it to be iconic in the true sense of the meaning for a lot of reasons. the fact that it’s stood the test of time and teens nowadays are still watching it probably just speaks for itself and it’s iconography, it’s definitely left a lasting impression

@@Brian5mb Your comment is iconic.

this a soft rebooted sequel to The Craft

@@assembled1855 "Soft reboot" they had to call it because they originally had it as a reboot or remake. And it still is written that way.

Thank you! That's the difference! The good remakes and sequels are the ones that still know how to keep the original audience while pulling in new audiences. Don't remake Edward Scissorhands and turn it into a sunshine quirky Twilight love story. Keep it Goth and dramedy. The new Clueless TV show sounds awful too.

@@sumoni But the movie is not much of a full reboot unlike The Amazing Spider Man films and it's is still set in the same universe as The Craft. Did you even watch Tokyo Drift which is still connected to F&F films and Split which is connected to Unbreakable film?

@@assembled1855 Split is within the same universe and it's very much its own film. Unlike this one where the meeting of the girls, the use of magic to change the cute bully boy, and etc are taken directly from the original. Throwing Nancy in there at the end is literally the only way they could justify calling it a sequel, while their original intention was to have this be a remake. But fans reacted poorly to that concept so they said it was a sequel instead. There's nothing "soft" about this reboot to me.

She was written as doomed and crazy. Which is one of the biggest problems with the original. The poor chick, the black chick, and the generic outcast chick are all exposed as worthless. Only our bland, basic lead gets to have power. Fixing that piece of utter nonsense is one of the main reasons why I enjoyed Legacy.

@@mysteriiis i never thought about it, i don't think it was on purpose in the first movie but that was cool to do that in the second!

It's because lilly had to be the legacy of Nancy. Nancy invoked Mano who has the ultimate power for evil doings and it drove her crazy which is why she didn't want lilly to know that she passed that kind of power at least what she thought was evil witchcraft to her daughter like a curse. They basically took out the main teaching in the original Craft.

Ooooo that would've been cool

Nancy could have then found and mentored/manipulated the girls and the focus could have been defeating Nancy 2: Electric Bugaloo. And we could have had a movie with female protags and villains

Totally

I concur, it's so soothing, and extremely comforting. 🥰

Right, it's like a cloud whispering in your ear💞🤗

I agree. The orginal film actually had a moral and lesson to be learned. This film just tried too hard about making a political statement.

This!
