Wait…. Ghoulia has a SISTER?!?!??!!?? And Yeah… I would go as far as saying that g3 is actually more edgy than g1. Just look at Frankie in g3. G1 Frankie had like 2 goth dolls… But thank you for this video sm! More Youtubers should do this! I love this! Sometimes, G1 (especially purist) need to calm down and see how g1 really was
Omg, I never noticed before, but the example photo you used for Howline in the "Gothic" section; take away the hat and it's Hannah Montana… š¤£
Okay, something that I have to disagree with in this video is the talk about characters being canonically queer. I don't want to get too deep into it in a comment (maybe this is a topic for a separate video on sometime), But personally, I don't think queer character HAS to come out. Non-lgbtq+ people don't have to come out, why do we have to? I have been saying for literal YEARS that o wish i could have more media where the main character is gay, but not make the Story be about coming out, their relationship, dealing with discrimination or an STD, or somehow centered around them being gay. Because like, you can look at any movie where the main character does not have a love interest, and romance is never brought up, and people just automatically assume they are straight. They could even be bi, asexual or aromantic, or something else. But what actually determines that? Like, I would love an Indiana Jones type movie, or where the lead just happens to be gay. I mean, I get it, at some point you need to have something within the media to establish that they are gay, otherwise are they actual representation? But something like Dumbledore being gay, he is an old man when we meet him, and they never talk about his personal or romantic life in the Harry Potter franchise, but later in The fantastic beasts franchis (when Dumbledore is younger), they finally do depict a romantic relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. (I know JK is a piece of s***, and That's a separate topic for another time), but yeah. This is kind of a tough one for me, because I hate "coming out culture", But I also very much understand the importance of good representation.
I guess the difference must be representation versus simply allowing a character to live.
Sorry, this turned into a slightly incoherent rant š but yeah, rhis might be a fun discussion topic
I feel like a lot of G1 purists like to block out the 2014-2015 (pre-reboot) era of G1, while there are absolutely exceptions (we still got a lot of banger dolls through this era donāt get me wrong) imo 2014 was when we started losing different textures and layers to outfits that were just the theme of the line made into a pattern and slapped on a dress instead of them actually being dressed for said activities (ex. Classroom Ghoulia is wearing an actual gym outfit, not just an outfit with pictures of basket balls on it)
Personally I think 2010-2012 was really the golden era of outfits using different pieces and textiles (Dawn of the Dance and Schools Out being maybe the best examples of this)
I think the other thing is that they used a lot more muted colours in this era, or the dolls had one main bright colour and then their other colours were more muted, and we donāt really get as much of that anymore and I think thatās what really contributes to the more youthful look of G3 (I wanna clarify that I think both are good this is just my observations)
On the monica yelps thing, could you make a "obscure characters in MH" i searched for a video on these but not found one
The āfashionā being better in G1 is laughable.
G1 tube dress and skirt lā¦like 70% of the clothes and the accessory game was weak. They used crappy hair fiber as well.
Iām saying this as someone who was an adult when G1 were released.

Oh and no your head-cannon doesnāt count for diversity.
7:31 Isn't that just people's headcanon? Yeah she's always just been Australian and she is from the Great Barrier Reef.
I always hated how they decreased Frankie's role as the main character, and pretty much conflated her with Ghoulia in Gen 2. While they were the quirky friend in G3, I miss the quirky lead Frankie in G1 (oh, and Neighthan/Frankie forever).
29:26 i mean, in fairness, for its time, i would consider it edgy and alternative, scene, gothic, hippie, punk etc. Keeping in mind that it still is targetted towards children. And specifically the base dolls, themed lines are supposed to deviate from the base formula in either direction. My personal theory is that most of the time the dolls have a neutral or frowning expressions in g1, which makes them more, like, serious and edgy
I like g3 for what it is, but it definitely is less risky when it comes to colors in particular, at least at the beginning. But it is also fun at times. I liked monster ball, Venus is a slay, and she does look punk rocky i think?
Also, what really sets g1 apart is collaborations and collector's editions. It is quite weird that g3 doesn't really have it, unless Squid Game one is a bridge towards that?
The OG Bratz Pretty n Punk dolls are significantly more edgy than most Monster High dolls. The idea of Monster High is more gothic than the dolls themselves.
G3 frankie and the whole non binary needs to stop. š Its kinda cringe, its a show based for kids. they're all monsters. Producers need to stop trying to bring gender ideology into kids' entertainment.
Hi there! Iāve been enjoying your videos so much lately. I had a question tho, I thought Marisol was from the monster high version of Peru. Does her last name have the same meaning in Peru as is does in Brazil?
hi! long time watcher here. could you perhaps turn off the audio tracks, or make it so the original audio is the one you start nwith (idk if it's possible tho). the AI voice is honestly annoying, it lacks your emotions, and etc
Can you please make a video what you hope to see in monster high g4 or futuer generationššš
MONSTER HIGH IN 2025??? KFUUSUITDTIJDHJHIHGRJJOHG THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD
Iām a G1 fan first and foremost but I do like G3 as well. Both have their pros and cons for me.
With that being said , I adore this Cupid!
I have zero issues with her. In my opinion, sheās perfect.
In G1 Garrett Sander has never confirmed that Claudine was gay he said she was supposed to be the one that was not boy crazy that is it other characters like Valentine we're out right said they were supposed to be gay Claudine was never one of them
Romanians aren't really lying though with Drac. They did not technically remove her heritage but when they strip her of her accent as well as her fathee's accent, the lack of interest in her Romanian heritage (they only mention it in the show twice very briefly, and Shea, Mattel and the VA only care about her Taiwanese side. Shea says she speaks both Romanian and Mandarin but we never hear a lick of Romanian. So yes, G3 Drac is quite anti Eastern European on purpose or not.
Additionally They remove accents in G3 constantly. Only a small ampunt of characters have accents i G3. Lagoona, Toralei, Lochlan Ness (a one time character), that's about it. It's weird and kinda gross
I think people say G1 was all gothic, because they forget how people dressed in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
as a nonbinary I love how Frankie doesnāt need a reason to be nonbinary even though it makes sense
As a Brazilian, I will say, I think Latino representation is complicated, because we aren't a race, we are different nationalities united by colonization and imperialism. So this thing about representation is complex, if I write a character that is Brazilian and it's supposed to represent my people, it's going to represent what I know while being a Brazilian in Brazil. But someone else can think it's not accurate because they are descending from Brazilians and have never been here, or maybe they live in a different region of the country that is different from mine. I think no representation will be 100% perfect.
Tbh I donāt see the problem with using mold, one of the joy of doll collecting for me personally is to collect accessories with the same mold but in different colour
