People are questioning why HA feels younger and more childish than the OG show and I feel like the reason is obvious: Victorious is a product of its time.

And I don’t (just) mean in terms of a few inappropriate jokes aging poorly (although that’s definitely apart of it- Dan’s whole, erm, presence adds a lot of baggage to the show’s mature vibe. Nickelodeon is probably overcompensating and trying to make the new show more PG). I also mean in terms of style and environment too.

The characters aren’t gonna be wearing black bandage dresses like Jade or stilletos like Cat (who, as we often say, her Pre-lobotomy self‘s aesthetic was very reminiscent of the pop-punk culture at the time). Because unfortunately that’s not the style anymore.

I will say that I hope this show adopts the deep character dynamics from the OG show. It gave us one of the biggest love triangles of our childhood (Tori/Beck/Jade) and the rare love triangle where someone ended up choosing themself (Tori) over a relationship.

Additionally, I am a bit confused on who exactly the target audience is for? Gen Z still buzzes about Victorious everyday, I see a viral post about it every week. It’s basically become our generation’s That 70s Show. But I dont think this revival is for Gen Alpha either? Because they already grew up with the OG show (and no, Gen Alpha is not old enough to have kids, idk why people are saying that) whether it was through reruns or the great Victorious renaissance on Netflix in 2019.

Due to social media Gen Alpha is maturing at a quicker rate and thus they have a lower tolerance for Nickelodeon humor than we did at that age. And taking a peak at the characters Alpha is enamored by (Rodrick Heffley, Regina George, Raquelle, Jade and Cat themselves) will the HA characters stand a chance?

Now that the premiere aired, what are your thoughts on the movie? How does it stack up compared to other DCOMs?

YES, I KNOW MBAV WAS AN AQUIRED SHOW. But if you ask the average person on the street they’ll say it’s a Disney show

Also, I will say that I think this is a good move on Disney’s part. Outer Banks is gonna end soon, Euphoria went to shit and ruined the 2 best characters, and Summer I Turned Pretty is irrelevant now. They have a chance to create a new YA show that can capture the zeitgeist.

Gold jewelry, candles and incense, vanity, beaded tank tops, romantic aura.

Apologies in advance if this is incoherent like my previous post here was.

Inspired by that one Uncle Grandpa meme (2nd slide)

Zoey’s character label was “The Indie Chick”, but her actual character and vibe gave more “The Girl Next Door” vibes. I feel like this is what the writers were trying to have her aesthetic be like.

Now that it’s aired, everyone drop your thoughts on the new Descendants movie?

What did you like? Didnt Like? Where does it stand amongst other DCOMs?

For many many years this scene was widely hated and seen as ridiculous. But recently I’ve seen more and more people have been saying that Riley was “clocking Maya’s tea” in this scene and that Riley “ate her up” so I’m curious to see what people think.

I swear you could not go anywhere in 2019 without seeing Catra or Yumeko as someone’s pfp but now so many people hate them

Made by me, I hope they’re good 🥰

The hairstyles, the outfits (the baby blue + pink top with jeans is a very underrated look), the fact that she was completely Cocomelon-fied yet… yall I love Season 2 Cat idc 🤷🏽‍♀️

I must give Disney their 8.5s. They realized that the only way they can survive is by batting higher towards the 13+ audience, and they are doing so with stuff like Coven Academy, The New Cheetah Girls, and now this. The fact that people keeping bitching and moaning about there being ”no tween shows” and whatnot makes it even better.

I can’t give them their 10s though, since a lot of this is just them pushing around older properities. That isn’t gonna work forever.

Yeah, Carmen did some wild shit but maybe if you actually cared for her emotionally she wouldn’t act out for attention 🤷🏽‍♀️

People are saying that the block was DOA because kids these days are more nostalgic for the Liv and Maddie/KC Undercover/Descendants era, and that they’re too far removed from the Raven/Lizzie/Suite Life/Kim era to care, and that cable is dying, BUT:

1. The reruns of the Lilo and Stitch show got 400k+ viewers

2: Clips from the Raven/Lizzie/Suite Life/Kim era go viral all the time, and people still talk about characters like Sharpay and London all the time

3: I am 300% certain they were gonna get around to airing Liv and Maddie and KC Undercover ANYWAYS. Trust me, the fact that they were gonna air Austin and Ally + the Teen Beach Movies about 2 weeks from now makes me certain they were gonna work their way up to airing the Liv and KC era. They were for sure gonna air a Liv and Maddie marathon with Cloud 9 and a KC Undercover marathon with Zapped. And then the Ant Farm marathon probably would’ve been with How to Build a Better Boy and Shake it up with Frenemies.

Thats another thing. Couldnt they have just waited until after the already scheduled slots (Wizards, Twitches, Austin and Ally, Teen Beach) were finished? At least that way, they could’ve just passed it off as a special June event. Doing it DAYS before the next block is about to air just makes it apparant that the event was a “disaster”.

I couldn’t decide which one I liked best. This was based on all the Season 1 Cat Valentine moodboards Ives seen on Tiktok 💕. Let me know which one you enjoy most!

Florals, boho elements, slightly coquettish but can easily outsmoke/outdrink you.
