History YMMV / MeanGirls2024

** Cady/Regina is definitely more popular than Cady/Aaron. Renee Rapp even ships it herself.

* FanPreferredCouple: Cady/Regina is definitely more popular than Cady/Aaron. Renee Rapp even ships it herself.

** Coach Carr (Creator/JonHamm) has some genuinely funny lines but – as his teacher/student relationship subplot is gone – can only be onscreen for so long.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/OliviaRodrigo's "get him back!"--already an absolute banger of an anthem--being used in the trailer and ads to help sell the rebellious and empowering aspects of the film against someone you felt horribly wronged by? Well played...
* FanPreferredCouple: Cady and Regina is definitely more popular than Cady and Aaron. Renee Rapp even ships it herself.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Many people just want to watch this movie just to see the plastics.
* LesYay: Regina and Cady have ''a lot'' of moments. Renee Rapp [[https://betches.com/mean-girls-regina-george-is-a-lesbian-and-i-can-prove-it/ confirmed that Regina was flirting with Cady in the "get in, loser" scene]]. Regina only wanted Aaron back, or showed any interest in him at all, once she discovered that Cady was interested in him. A lot of her behaviour comes across like she's hurt and jealous and trying to make Cady jealous - not because of Aaron, but because Regina is interested in Cady. Renee Rapp being a lesbian in real life has only added fuel to the fire.

** Janis is rude, self-centered and bitchy, but the film still treats her as the OnlySaneMan. As in the 2004 film she is never really forced to apologise for her actions and in fact even gets a song ('I'd Rather Be Me') extolling her own virtues as a rebel and truth teller and ignoring the fact that she was at least as manipulative as Regina. The movie providing the backstory as to why she was further provoked into being ostracized by Regina does at least help give context, even if you still feel like Janis went too far either way.
%%** Regina, during the "sweatpants" scene, as she doesn't sound too upset, unlike the original film.

* {{Narm}}: Some lines in the remake are changed to be more "appropriate" for modern audiences. For example, when it is explained that joining the mathletes is "social suicide", "social suicide" was changed to "socially ruinous". Some viewers claim that these changed lines don't have the dramatic sting the original lines had.
** In addition, Regina's entry in the Burn Book originally referred to her as a "fugly slut". Now, it refers to her as a "fugly cow". It is agreed by some viewers that the new line does not hit the same as the original.

** Cady Herron: NaiveNewcomer who's genuinely sweet but trying to fit in by BecomingTheMask or BitchInSheepsClothing? The musical furthers this question by having her CallingTheOldManOut in the backstory before by being unhappy with her mother for not taking a job with Northwestern University.

** Janis is rude, self-centered and bitchy, but the film still treats her as the OnlySaneMan. As in the 2004 film she is never really forced to apologies for her actions and in fact even gets a song ('I’d Rather Be Me') extolling her own virtues as a rebel and truth teller and ignoring the fact that she was at least as manipulative as Regina. The movie providing the backstory as to why she was further provoked into being ostracized by Regina does at least help give context, even if you still feel like Janis went too far either way.

* FoeYayShipping: As with the original and musical, Regina and Janis hate each other, but that doesn't stop a lot of fans from shipping them together online.

** Janis, as usual. Rude, self-centered and bitchy as ever, but the film still treats her as the OnlySaneMan. As in the 2004 film she is never really forced to apologies for her actions and in fact even gets a song ('I’d Rather Be Me') extolling her own virtues as a rebel and truth teller and ignoring the fact that she was at least as manipulative as Regina. The movie providing the backstory as to why she was further provoked into being ostracized by Regina does at least help give better context, even if you still feel like Janis went too far either way.

* Gretchen, as during her "fragile" moments, she just comes across as caculating.

* FanPreferredCouple: The OfficialCouple is Cady/Aaron, but fans have already come out in support of Cady/Regina due to Angourie Rice and Renee Rapp's chemistry with each other with people expressing disappointment they didn't kiss [[spoiler: in the bathroom at the Spring Formal]]
