I remember hearing on E! Back in the day that originally it was Lindsey Logan who auditioned for Regina's character& vice versa... Rachel MccAdams "couldn't see herself" playing the part of Regina at ALL a first, hence why she was originally auditioning for Cady... Then she said since she ALWAYS plays the "good girl/protagonist" in her roles, it actually becane pretty fun for her to get to play the "villian" instead. ... now that this movie AND its characters & rolls are SOOOO iconic it is SOOOO weird and nearly impossible to think of these two in each other's places- but just think, that's ALMOST how it happened?!?! 😂😂😂
They cast the original VERY well. The new one was interesting in the fact they used younger but I didn't think it was cast nearly as well as it could have been
true. i think it's one of the reasons why her take on Regina is so good. the new regina, appearance-wise, is presented in a way ull know that she's not a good person (plastic in the movie). but rachel's regina looks so sweet that as we follow cady's point of view, ull never suspect her to do something so bad
Brilliant acting, allthough after watching some interviews with her it is a part of her personality. Even when she smiles and her words are kind there is something else lurking, which gives you an uneasy feeling
It’s because the camera stays on her, so you feel her gazing into your soul lol. The modern version cuts to her friend’s reaction and it just doesn’t have the same intimidation factor as the original editing.
the genius of Rachel McAdams' acting was you second guess yourself thinking whether you like her or hate her... she switches from being likeable to terrifying seamlessly*...
There's a lot of nuance that the new one misses out. Like in the original she comes off really judgemental about the fact that Cady hasn't been to a public school and also gives the backhanded compliment "BUT you're pretty." I just feel like there's a lot more to think about with the original because there's just more to talk about in how the lines are delivered and what's actually said.
You can see in Rachel McAdams eyes how she’s waiting for Kady’s responses like a cat observing its prey. You can see in her eyes that she thinks before and as she speaks and is truly registering the info that she’s gathering all while reacting
And then the soft sweet tone of voice that she uses as she speaks. The leaning in to show interest and leaning back to show her thinking and dominance. And then the casual checkmate of the: so you agree you think you’re really pretty at the end with the subtle looking at her out of the side of her eyes
@@Nunofyabizzzzzin the original regina knows she owns the school She isn’t a try hard like new regina In the new one who wears that and who sits like that
OG is so realistic in how mean girls talk while being "nice", that uncomfortable "am I being bullied or complimented?" feel. New Regina just screams Bully.
@@xChaosFlowerthat’s unfortunately what that actor thinks “dumb Karen” would do. I haven’t seen the new mean girls but if the rest of the movie is anything like this clip.. no thanks
@@hey.3rr0r30 my thoughts exactly, on Broadway you have to play it up for the people in the back. Doesn't translate well on film if you don't know how to tone it down. That should have been a director's note
The old version’s Regina George was asserting dominance in every way. Her gaze, the leaning in to examine the subject, the sly smile, the hybrid tone of her speech. She was successfully intimidating. As for Lohan’s Cady, she came off as perfectly naive and shy, falling into Regina’s trap from the get go. The power dynamics and verticality of this exchange was veery well executed, unlike the newer version where RG is not as sinister nor Cady is as naive or ingenuous.
And the costume design in the OG is so good! Regina's collared shirt and sweater combo was a popular look at the time, but it also has the added benefit of making her look like a boss interviewing a prospective employee for a job. It's a subtle visual cue to show us she's in charge and Cady's out of her depth. The weird plastic biker jacket in the new movie doesn't have that same visual cue....unless they were going for a "biker chick trying to recruit new gang members" vibe.
Maybe it has something to do with the years of difference, in the remake they consider Internet so there's a lot of information everywhere and maybe that's why Cady isn't so innocent and Regina isn't so mean. Still didn't like remake honestly
And despite it being filmed in the 2000s, it still holds up today in terms of humor, messages and morals. Even the acting is flawless. Meanwhile the "reboot" feels like a middle school play you're being forced to watch.
@@_abby_gThe slurs like the r and d slur are outdated. Both used by Regina. But, very classic film and doesn't feel too out of place. I doubt you'd be able to pass it off as something new but it is classic and easy to understand still.
the way the OG regina said "so you agree? you think you're really pretty?" was a great 'hint' on her personality that sets the tone, especially following up cady's response, she instantly switched to complimenting her bracelet. made her seems so "fake" in a more natural way, like a slithering snake. its so good!
Man this makes me appreciate Rachel Mcadams acting SO much more. She mastered the crazy eyes so well for this role. It’s the subtle hints in everything that just put it all together
The smile doesn’t meet the eyes and you can hear in the intonation the friendliness is disingenuous. She really captures the nuances of deception in her line delivery.
@@M33PSTERthis was a musical lol. And a remake. I’d you don’t like it boo hoo, doesn’t mean other fans, die had or passing agree it should’ve been the same 😮😂
Yeah I heard that she turned down another major role (I think she was being scouted for Devil Wears Prada) because she said she wanted to focus on smaller roles/rest bc she had just finished filming Mean Girls and The Notebook.
I agree, way more natural and realistic. The original one can make you feel uncomfortable even if she is not talking to you and it's just a movie. The new one is just hateful.😂
more terrifying? i don’t know why people find regina to be scary to me she sounds completely normal and i’d actually engage in a conversation with her.
It's the eyes chico, always the eyes. Rachel and Lindsay show so much emotion through their eyes. The surprise, the insecurity. You start to root for the characters or to hate them. And that's the art of an actor.
Completely agree! Along with the subtle changes in body positions and inflections in their voices. They bodied those roles and still 2 of my fav actresses 🫶🏽
I just watched the video 20 times, and you are absolutely correct. OG Regina has this subtle rudeness in her when she calls Cady(Cadey?) pretty, and when Cady agrees her "so you agree?" has this hint of sceptism in it. There's also the fake admiration of Cady's past that's really subtle. Whereas with the new Regina, it almost looks like a SNL-sketch by how Regina is making big eyes and tilting her head when she says "so you agree?" It looks clearly like she doesn't mean it
Yes, it seems the new one made a good choice with the outfit and cast that I initially didn’t feel it’s that bad, until it’s compare with the original one side by side
The original Mean girls sounds way better than the new one.The new one sounds like just a basic conversation and the Mean girls just sounds like a real conversation.
Makes sense. Modern teens don't know how to have a basic conversation bc they are constantly on social media. Rather than back in the early 2000s social skills were honed.
@@herbsandflowers8152funny that these people would say it is not a remake but it is a total copy of the original. The stupidity is unreal **i am very aware that this is a movie version of the play but c'mon it is still a remake of the OG film...same story, same character, same title. If it is like Mean Girls 2 wherein diff characters and somewhat diff story flow then it would not be called a remake**
@@mitsuberry Her comment still stands I feel. As much as I love Dear Evan Hansen as the musical, the movie adaptation is just 😅. It's safe to say it shouldn't exist either
Well according to Renee, they’d be lovers so if we get a movie where Rachel McAdams and Renee Rapp are like a sapphic enemies to lovers, they would be unstoppable
New Regina's talk sounds mean and sarcastic, while Old Regina's talk sounds nice, like you actually talking to a good person. That's why Old Regina was so popular and good manipulator, that even Cady at first thought she's nice
Yeah. The new Ragina is intimidating right of the bat but old one perfectly kept the nice girl façade. But the new actress isn't bad. I think instead of remake they could hv made adaption of Mean Girls. Have similar theme but now in working environment. Afterall it's not like mean girls only exist in school.
@@lori-xc7wh idk I'm a 16 y. o, and every popular girl in my school like the old Regina. Because if there were someone who's acting like new Regina, she would be a freak to us, not cool
It’s like 10-15 years of conversation devolution in a single clip. I say this as a woman with autism who’s nearly 30. If the first one is more accurate to how high schoolers talk nowadays, that genuinely scares me.😳
This comparison gave me the rare opportunity to notice the skill difference between different actors. Lindsay expresses a range of emotions through her nonverbal face gestures (looking side to side, drops and re-engages smile, shoulder shrugs). Lindsay give you the silent aspects of language that makes it feel natural. The new actress feels like one note in comparison (not that she did a bad job), never stops smiling or changes her facial expressions to match the line of questioning. She only modulates her voice which is good but not enough to feel entirely natural. Lindsay is talented - the whole cast was really.
Why is nobody talking about Cady tho?? The original Cady was so natural and down to earth. Like you could actually picture her being an innocent homeschooled girl. The new Cady has a more confident and performance vibe to her. Like she was never homeschooled at all and she knows all the proper social cues. OG Cady really sold the fish out of water characterization without being unrealistic.
“So you agree?” the way she changes the whole tone of the conversation in one second, her whole demeanor shifts right there and Cady from that moment on is on the palm of her hand. Like is so subtle and well done.
Yes! The way she leans back while she’s saying this. The first part of the conversations Regina (McAdams) is leaning forward showing interest. Then she leans back once she’s got her bait and now that naturally makes Cady need to lean more forward and be drawn to her. The body langauge from McAdams and it’s timing with her delivery is just unmatched. So good!! 👏🏼
@@StormChasingNinja I've never watched the new one. It'll take away from the old one. And it's before a lot of these kids time. So I enjoy the references back to my high school days
Rachel McAdams is a superb actor, she's acting through her whole body, her whole face, her eyes, the tilt of her head. When she says "but you're like really pretty", and asks "so you agree?" and her expression instantly switches, it's so subtle yet your feelers go up and sense the 'danger'. It doesn't feel like she's just playing a character. It's just different. It's not that the later actress is bad!
Yeah, I'd say it's just a different take on the character,, fits more of what teens act like in the modern day,, instead of back in the 90s or whenever the original was made
Rachel's interpretation of Regina is so much more manipulative and sharp. She hides her meanness behind a pretty smile and that's why the lines feel so natural. Renee's Regina doesn't seem like she would say those things to the new girl. If anything, she sounds insincere and sarcastic. She's still a "queen bee" but her meanness is much more in your face.
To be fair the new one is a movie musical and Reneé Rapp played Regina on Broadway which is different to the movie but I see what you mean especially with Cady
I’ve never understood the idea of girls like new Regina being “queen bee”. It made sense for OG Regina because she is sweet to peoples faces and popularity only comes from being well liked.
Rachel’s « Why don’t I know you? » sounds so sweet and kind, even luring me into thinking that she’s actually not that bad of a person. She speaks in such a sweet and low voice, like a comforting friend to a person that’s completely clueless in a new environment. It’s amazing how Rachel managed to make Regina sound KIND but also has this unsettling feeling, she throws compliments and interests towards Cady, inviting her like a friend, but at the same time she said things like « I know what homeschool is I’m not r*t*rded » and the « so you agree » comment, making it as if it was Cady who said/did something bad/wrong, and making her feel guilty. It’s amazing acting, total manipulation. Really amazing.
SAME! I was like,,, no there's no way this is the professionally made movie that came out in cinema?? it's filmed like a Dhar Mann skit! and the acting,,, but honestly if the framing and editing were better that would've lifted the acting up a bit! Even the best actor in the world can't do anything against a production crew that don't know what they're doing edit: I also can't get over the look up from new Regina's friend, it looks like she's doing "crazy eyes"
The original gives me anxiety, Regina really sounds like a bully, trying to look nice but at the same time intimidating you. On the new version Regina looks like she is trying to be mean, but is a softie at heart.
I find that body language makes a whole lot of difference in their acting. New Regina’s posture and thumb fiddling didn’t really convey a picture of confidence and ego that Regina supposedly possesses. Whereas OG Regina’s body language really spoke volumes about her ego and self-confidence, the direct posture when speaking to Cady; though her arms were crossed, she looked relaxed though also intimidating; and the way her eyes were fixed on Cady’s almost throughout the entire convo was like a predator sizing up their prey… she was speaking friend but showing boss
Their parents could be white then when her mom was pregnant her mom could've moved to Africa. Plus she could be African, which is like a white country in Africa,
Nothing makes me laugh harder than the third girl looking up with her eyes wide after the blonde one says “you’re like really pretty.” What is that face 😂😂😂
Fr but if we are talking about the better musical then it’s going to be mean girls 2024 because it’s just more relatable and better choreography I swear
@@Justaguythatcameby don’t take me seriously for this one but I hate Cady’s singing in the new musical for mean girls, I like the choreography for mean girls for 2024 and the singing for Renee Rap and mean girls 2024 is my fav but I wish that they didn’t remake it
Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams and the other actors of the movie were and are so iconic. They're absolutely stunningly beautiful, so talented, and PERFECTLY encapsulated the chatacters. They will never be topped.
I was actually really happy with a new adaptation! The old one has great acting but as a lesbian I was so bothered by the Janis plot that I couldn't enjoy the movie at all and I was sooo happy that they fixed that in the new one. So to each their own!
This is when I realized what being a good actor is. I never really thought about the older cast as having good acting skills but looking at a lot of the modern actors... it really makes you realize that they do have skills.
@@idkwhattosayhere01 she may have them, but honestly the new Mean Girls didn't show it (to me, personally). I guess it may not be her best work as an actress
rachel adams’s portrayal of regina will always be the best of the two. she played so well into the mean, stuck up, fake, and valley girl-esque parts of regina george’s personality in a way that reneé (as much as i adore her) either was not able to due to restrictions or did not want to due to wanting to put her own twist on regina. both ladies did a fantastic job and slayed their performances, but rachel’s will always be my favorite:)
Yeah they skipped the home school part and she’s sitting on the table with her legs crossed in a leather outfit. They think the audience is dumb in the new version and can’t pick up anything on their own.
@@mitsuberryit doesn’t. Matter. Theatre acting and film acting are two completely different things that require different skill sets. This excuse is getting so old. Just because she was Regina on Broadway doesn’t mean she’s a good film actress
@@mitsuberrythese Theatre kids are overly dramatic that's why people make fun of them. Their facade gets exposed when we compare them to real movie Stars.
@@nowrinmostafa7583 yk theater acting is just as hard as movie acting right? plus theater actors also need dance and singing skills. i haven’t seen many people make fun of theater, but i’ve seen several make fun of hollywood
"you think you're really pretty?" the difference between the two modes of delivery of the same line is so wonderful. in the original movie, RG is asking it in a sort enquiring way, like as if assessing her personality in the new version, RG is asking it in a sort of mocking way, as if she seems fo be assuming her personality its the little things that show what RG's character really is.
@@lacurronec3815I feel like the new one makes it a little evident that she's mocking her because of the way she opens her eyes, and the gesture with her mouth. But I agree with the fact that the question seems more genuine, not really manipulative, making it less mean (just a little bit annoying instead). The og Regina does ask it with the intention of assessing Cady, because she looks surprised, but not because she's actually surprised, she's just manipulating Cady to make her feel more intimidated and confused with which would be the right answer to give her. She's like saying "oh, so you're a smug" without actually saying it.
The flow of the convo in the original is so much better. It just keeps moving, disarming Cady with every beat.
The Dialogue is better
Yes, the editing is inferior in the new one, it doesn’t flow and feels unnatural
They didnt need to remake this movie
@@HereComesThe-Sunagreed. I saw it in theatres and it was a let down.

Not even a basic conversation. It sounds fake like they're supposed to make it look like they're acting and not having a real conversation.

Makes sense. Modern teens don't know how to have a basic conversation bc they are constantly on social media. Rather than back in the early 2000s social skills were honed.

I feel like If we put old and new Reginas in a room, new one would come out screaming crying throwing up.
Real
Or they might make out
Well according to Renee, they’d be lovers so if we get a movie where Rachel McAdams and Renee Rapp are like a sapphic enemies to lovers, they would be unstoppable
not until the new one punched the og 💀
Frs
Rachel McAdams perfects at being condescending and giving the backhanded compliments that come from girls like this 😂
New Regina's talk sounds mean and sarcastic, while Old Regina's talk sounds nice, like you actually talking to a good person. That's why Old Regina was so popular and good manipulator, that even Cady at first thought she's nice
And that's how it used to be in school when I was a teen too
this is supposed to be new gen
Nah, she just trying so hard to be old regina, but that what makes it cringe tbh
Yeah. The new Ragina is intimidating right of the bat but old one perfectly kept the nice girl façade.
But the new actress isn't bad. I think instead of remake they could hv made adaption of Mean Girls. Have similar theme but now in working environment.
Afterall it's not like mean girls only exist in school.
@@lori-xc7wh idk I'm a 16 y. o, and every popular girl in my school like the old Regina. Because if there were someone who's acting like new Regina, she would be a freak to us, not cool
The new version is so STIFFF lordttt😅
It’s like 10-15 years of conversation devolution in a single clip. I say this as a woman with autism who’s nearly 30. If the first one is more accurate to how high schoolers talk nowadays, that genuinely scares me.😳
It's like a Dharmann skit
@@erinnvan1941 FOR REAL.
Another thing I think that helps the OG so much was the music in the bg
It’s really awful.
This comparison gave me the rare opportunity to notice the skill difference between different actors. Lindsay expresses a range of emotions through her nonverbal face gestures (looking side to side, drops and re-engages smile, shoulder shrugs). Lindsay give you the silent aspects of language that makes it feel natural. The new actress feels like one note in comparison (not that she did a bad job), never stops smiling or changes her facial expressions to match the line of questioning. She only modulates her voice which is good but not enough to feel entirely natural. Lindsay is talented - the whole cast was really.
I rewatched the clip to see what you are saying, so that’s why Lindsay comes across so natural in her roles!
I’ll say it: the new actress did a bad job.
She did a bad job. She cant even sing. And its a musical.
No dude you can say it, both new actresses are terrible, wooden and the comparison shows it so bad

The original sounds like a conversation the musical sounds like actors trying to make it sound like a conversation.
Why is nobody talking about Cady tho?? The original Cady was so natural and down to earth. Like you could actually picture her being an innocent homeschooled girl. The new Cady has a more confident and performance vibe to her. Like she was never homeschooled at all and she knows all the proper social cues. OG Cady really sold the fish out of water characterization without being unrealistic.
They say that the new Cady is a nepobaby which explains her acting skills.

“So you agree?” the way she changes the whole tone of the conversation in one second, her whole demeanor shifts right there and Cady from that moment on is on the palm of her hand. Like is so subtle and well done.
Yes! The way she leans back while she’s saying this. The first part of the conversations Regina (McAdams) is leaning forward showing interest. Then she leans back once she’s got her bait and now that naturally makes Cady need to lean more forward and be drawn to her. The body langauge from McAdams and it’s timing with her delivery is just unmatched. So good!! 👏🏼
Why did she ask if she was pretty?
@@VentiWhoreshipper ok
What made OG Regina iconic is that she could make people believe she was nice and catch them off guard
I don't really understand how she is iconic? In real life people would hate her because she is a bully, so why do people love her in the movie
Noone Can Beat The Original Regina George❤️
Rachel McAdams eyes when she says "youre like really pretty" is just PURE TALENT
Frrrr no other actress could master that expression
The fact that Rachel McAdams filmed this and the Notebook at the same time is wild to me. Two completely different characters.
2 classics in 1 year
True legend. She also turned down the Devil wears Prada so that Anne Hathaway could be considered.
And that’s why the old mean girls will always be better. The new one comes off as a slightly higher budget Disney channel original
@@StormChasingNinja I've never watched the new one. It'll take away from the old one. And it's before a lot of these kids time. So I enjoy the references back to my high school days
It's called acting
The first one sounds like a CZcams reenactment someone would do for a project in highschool.
The original cannot be touched!
Perfectly said
Why did they even do a remake?
Exactly!
It isn't???? 🫠 I've been living under a rock omg I didn't know there was a remake
100000000000%
Rachel McAdams is 👑 She's so versatile from Regina George to Allie Dennis in the notebook. I absolutely love her
Rachel McAdams is a superb actor, she's acting through her whole body, her whole face, her eyes, the tilt of her head. When she says "but you're like really pretty", and asks "so you agree?" and her expression instantly switches, it's so subtle yet your feelers go up and sense the 'danger'. It doesn't feel like she's just playing a character. It's just different. It's not that the later actress is bad!
Mmmno, she's bad. But to be fair, they all are in the remake. 😂😂😂
Yeah, I'd say it's just a different take on the character,, fits more of what teens act like in the modern day,, instead of back in the 90s or whenever the original was made
Rachel's interpretation of Regina is so much more manipulative and sharp. She hides her meanness behind a pretty smile and that's why the lines feel so natural.
Renee's Regina doesn't seem like she would say those things to the new girl. If anything, she sounds insincere and sarcastic. She's still a "queen bee" but her meanness is much more in your face.
it's because subtext is dead nowadays
To be fair the new one is a movie musical and Reneé Rapp played Regina on Broadway which is different to the movie but I see what you mean especially with Cady
Lol this is the comment I've been looking for how I felt and described the 'new' Mean Girls movie.
I’ve never understood the idea of girls like new Regina being “queen bee”. It made sense for OG Regina because she is sweet to peoples faces and popularity only comes from being well liked.
New Regina acts like a sloth 🦥
"You're like really pretty"
Karen: **proceeds to stare like a dead fish**
That's supposed to be Karen?!
HELPP😭😭
WHY AM I NOW NOTICING WHAT????
Why'd she do that? 🤣🤣
She tried really hard to look really ridiculous
the OG will always be the best, everything about it was and always will be seamlessly natural.
she literally sounds like she reading tha script😭 linsey lohan at least sounded like her character
Rachel McAdams has such a nuanced, brilliant and iconic performance. It's unmatched.
Hmmm
This truly highlights how acting is a true talent cuz the new ones can’t even pull off the same lines
It's literally no different, just your nostalgia.
@@cicilgdid you even watch the clips
@@cicilg nah the first clip is so stiff and unnatural and the actresses make it sound like they're reading lines rather than having a conversation
@@cicilgIt's completely different.
Nostalgia for Mean Girls is well-deserved. Best teen movie out there.
The new one is shameful.
@cicilg The lines aren't different but the acting and intention clearly is.
You can never beat Rachel’s acting I’m sorry. Rachel is flawless in every role she does. Notebook, Mean Girls, Time Traveler’s Wife, etc.
Rachel’s « Why don’t I know you? » sounds so sweet and kind, even luring me into thinking that she’s actually not that bad of a person. She speaks in such a sweet and low voice, like a comforting friend to a person that’s completely clueless in a new environment.
It’s amazing how Rachel managed to make Regina sound KIND but also has this unsettling feeling, she throws compliments and interests towards Cady, inviting her like a friend, but at the same time she said things like « I know what homeschool is I’m not r*t*rded » and the « so you agree » comment, making it as if it was Cady who said/did something bad/wrong, and making her feel guilty. It’s amazing acting, total manipulation. Really amazing.

SAME! I was like,,, no there's no way this is the professionally made movie that came out in cinema?? it's filmed like a Dhar Mann skit! and the acting,,, but honestly if the framing and editing were better that would've lifted the acting up a bit! Even the best actor in the world can't do anything against a production crew that don't know what they're doing
edit: I also can't get over the look up from new Regina's friend, it looks like she's doing "crazy eyes"

The first one was like a school project. OG mean girls can't be compared.

@@deartheodosia ummm what movie?💀
agree
The original cast was perfect. They had a way of conversing with each other that feels so natural but is still so funny.
There is only one Regina 🙌🏼
I find that body language makes a whole lot of difference in their acting. New Regina’s posture and thumb fiddling didn’t really convey a picture of confidence and ego that Regina supposedly possesses. Whereas OG Regina’s body language really spoke volumes about her ego and self-confidence, the direct posture when speaking to Cady; though her arms were crossed, she looked relaxed though also intimidating; and the way her eyes were fixed on Cady’s almost throughout the entire convo was like a predator sizing up their prey… she was speaking friend but showing boss
Crossing arms is a way of 'guarding' oneself. I think McAdam's really studied social nuance like body language for this role and it shows.
R:your like really pretty
K: *gets possessed*

Because they know people will buy tickets just because it’s Mean Girls. Easier to milk a cult classic for more money than to create something new.

@@idkwhattosayhere01 she may have them, but honestly the new Mean Girls didn't show it (to me, personally). I guess it may not be her best work as an actress
The acting in the new one is tragic. The original one sounded so natural and not forced
rachel adams’s portrayal of regina will always be the best of the two. she played so well into the mean, stuck up, fake, and valley girl-esque parts of regina george’s personality in a way that reneé (as much as i adore her) either was not able to due to restrictions or did not want to due to wanting to put her own twist on regina.
both ladies did a fantastic job and slayed their performances, but rachel’s will always be my favorite:)

Reminds me of pigeons
New one feels like Disney middle school. The old one felt like an actual Highschool set environment.
"you think you're really pretty?"
the difference between the two modes of delivery of the same line is so wonderful.
in the original movie, RG is asking it in a sort enquiring way, like as if assessing her personality
in the new version, RG is asking it in a sort of mocking way, as if she seems fo be assuming her personality
its the little things that show what RG's character really is.
Tbh I thought it was the other way round.
@@lacurronec3815I feel like the new one makes it a little evident that she's mocking her because of the way she opens her eyes, and the gesture with her mouth. But I agree with the fact that the question seems more genuine, not really manipulative, making it less mean (just a little bit annoying instead).
The og Regina does ask it with the intention of assessing Cady, because she looks surprised, but not because she's actually surprised, she's just manipulating Cady to make her feel more intimidated and confused with which would be the right answer to give her. She's like saying "oh, so you're a smug" without actually saying it.
Can never outdo the original ones. 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
