The Clone High Reboot is an Absolute Mess

Clone High is a series I've held in high regard for years now, and hearing news about the revival had me incredibly excited. While I've heard the show gets better from outside sources, the reboot fails on a multitude of levels that the original series excelled in and seems to lack the comedic spark that made it so memorable.

    I think it would’ve been hilarious if they brought Gandhi back and then centred the cancel culture episode around him
  • Christopher Columbus is the only new character that feels like he actually belongs, honestly hes pretty cool
  • @GoodGregory
    The only good thing about Ghandi not being in season 2 is him not being affected by bad writing
  • I blame Abe's new character on people misunderstanding his original intention. A bunch of people think he's just an asshole and a womanizer because he didn't notice Joan's advances until last minute, so seeing them lean into the that stereotype and completely lose his original character is disheartening
  • @VirtuosoI
    Harriet and Frida definitely look like Total Drama ocs
  • I’m more disappointed how the newer characters, like Confucius, and Harriet Tubman don’t resemble their historical counterparts compared to Joan, Abe or John which as someone who spends an unhealthy amount of time studying history is extremely disappointing.
  • I was honestly so mad how dirty they did Harriet Tubman. Literally NO ONE would be able to tell who she was if they didn't tell you. Confucius as well no one would be able to tell who that is. THE ONLY person who feels like he belongs is Topher Bus. He looks similar to the old art style, he acts like an OG Clone High character and he's actually funny. The thing that really grinded my gears was how over designed the new characters like, Abe had a white and blue shirt with khakis, Joan had a black crop top with green pants, Gandhi has a grey tee with jeans etc. I hate the reboot.
  • The fact Frida Khalo ALREADY appeared in one of the last episodes of Season 1 with a totally fitting design is the most painful part about this reboot
  • @helixsol7171
    "Answer the question!" I love how JFK acknowledges that a roundhouse kick to the face doesn't constitute an answer. He needs verbal confirmation or denial.
  • My big problem is the new clone’s design Harriet, Confucius, and Frida look like oc’s
  • @b4ooks233
    It’s just that Gandhi was pretty much the main character for most of the B plots in every episode what he brought to the show was a lot more than people think They should’ve just said he’s Gary Coleman.
  • @emm_uhh
    I definitely think the original Clone High did age, but that isn't a bad thing. They parodied early 90s and early 00s teen dramas, like the "very special episode" gag and the whole spring break episode with Ashley Angel.
  • This feels like such a small complaint, but I hate how the sharp edges of Joan's design have been rounded. It just looks so...off.
  • Harriet Tubman should’ve been Madam CJ Walker, a successful black woman known for revolutionizing female black hair care; the hair design would’ve made way more sense. Hell, imagine them changing it for every scene transition or every episode with traditionally black hair styles! Or a shot reverse shot joke where her hair changes styles every time it cuts back to her!
  • @Bolderox
    I just can't get over how they made Joan a literal SMOOTHBRAIN, they removed the sharp forehead
  • @isaax961
    What I hate the most is like, Why couldn't they just manage the new characters the way they did with Jesuscristo, Monroe or Toots? They had less lines compared to the main cast, but my god are they iconic and so good.
  • This is why I don't like the idea of reviving shows that were cancelled eons ago. They'll just never be as great as they once were and it's hard to bring back the original people who worked on them in the first place because at that point they've already moved on.
  • @A.CoolRock
    I’m so happy someone finally mentioned how Abe is HEAVILY out of character in the new season!!!!! The new personality they gave him doesn’t fit the show as a whole at all, ESPECIALLY when he starts saying offensive things in the pilot episode. Seeing the guy who made out with his friend to show that ADD/ADHD wasn’t contagious or a bad thing, be reduced to saying things are “gay” and what not is like replacing him with an entirely new character.
  • @bruhperson459
    christopher columbus seems like the only new character that actually fits into the show, meanwhile the other three look like characters that were stolen from another cartoon and stuffed in this one.
  • @Laxhoop
    I keep telling people to stop hoping their favorite cancelled shows come back, we lived in the worst time for writing even before the new writers strike, and every revived show that fans had been begging to get revived for years, has just been a massive disappointment.
