I've been sitting her for years feeling this way about Heathers. Thank you for putting my stance on this classic film into a well stated, thought provoking essay.
This was very well thought out and a unique take on a movie that's been essayed to death. I think precisely because the violence has become "too real", it's more important than ever for someone to step up to the plate and attempt to make a Heathers-esque movie that's respectful of real life shootings and such without being some bland preachy lifetime PSA. You're right though, it's a pretty daunting task. But if they could talk about suicide back then when no one was really talking about it, surely someone has the guts to break through censorship/cancel culture/whatever enough now to talk about what's behind the adolescent problems of today.
You forgot Pretty Little Liars Alison was the Queen Bee of her school/town just Heather Chandler. And she was claim to be dead like Heather Chandler even though Alison was still alive.
@@garretturmym6332 of course I did. The only irrelevant thing here is your reaction to my comment. I didn't say anything negative, I pointed out an ironic fact. The point of the video is that Heathers is the most influential teen film of all time and it wouldn't work again today. I didn't disagree with that by pointing out that it clearly took those names from Archie comics. Go troll something else.
@@justinrichards1124 Just because they use the same names doesn't mean that it is copied from somewhere else. For instance, you're possibly younger than Justin Bieber, but I doubt your parents would name you after Justin Bieber (or vice versa). Regardless, I misunderstood you the first time, and I thought you were being needlessly negative. My apologies!
@@garretturmym6332 hahahaha! I WISH I was younger than Bieber! I'm barely younger than Timberlake. It's certainly not a guarantee that they thought of Betty and Veronica from Archie, but it's so classic and such a perfect match of 2 girls who were friends but split after one got popular that I feel like it's highly likely.
There is no modern equivalent because no generation since GenX were left to come of age while the restraints of the old traditional structure were crumbling but the concerns about mental health, violence, etc of the new structure hadn’t started to arise. We knew stuff was darker, not tougher like economically, but sort of psychologically or spiritually but older generations still said just suck it up.
People don’t get Heathers today. Go watch reactions and people don’t grasp it at all. Dark comedy is dead cause people want to be offended not challenged.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, and I completely agree!
You forgot Pretty Little Liars

PLL is horrible lmao
Good stuff. Here's hoping we see more uploads from the channel in the future.
I’m hoping as well🙏🏼🙏🏼 will keep u updated :D
Great video essay. Very thoughtful and well made, I’m looking forward to seeing future content on this channel :)
heathers will always be my favorite movie
Well this video jumped off a cliff at the mention of the TV show...
Came from reddit, I really enjoyed this!
Thank you so much
Pretty ironic to say that Riverdale wouldn't have happened with Heathers when the movie has characters named Betty and Veronica.
Did you even try to understand the point of the video?????? That's such an irrelevant part of the overall message...

@@garretturmym6332 No they did borrow it - Veronica and Betty, (Tom) Sawyer and (Huckleberry) Finn
