The Gang as Mean Girls Characters ๐๐๐ธ๐๐โจ๐ ๐
Dennis Reynolds: Regina George
They both have main character vibes, theyโre both spoiled, bratty and short-tempered, theyโre beautiful obviously, and impressionable. They are both seen as ring leaders, theyโre both controlling of others while terrible with self control. Theyโre both self absorbed and overly emotional with fragile egos. They both suffer from binge eating disorder and use sex to their advantage. Theyโre both creative - theyโre both cute little scrapbook girlies - and they are both calculated, entitled, and conceited. Everyone around them follows their orders, but theyโre also dumber than people think and easily manipulated. They are both vain and obsessed with body image, they can both turn on the charm when they need to, and they have matching resting bitch faces.
Random Parallel: Dennis needing to wear a girdle // Regina not fitting into her prom dress
They are both two-faced, sycophantic and obsessive, particularly with one specific person. They are both overbearing and always find ways to climb to the top for their own benefit. Theyโre both more manipulative than they come across, and they are both deceitful and untrustworthy. They both kinda came from nothing, and were originally pure of heart. They both lie and use people, while acting as though they are innocent. They are both sly and conniving in more underhanded ways, and they are both unreliable. Both their initial intentions are often good, and they both have a habit of both play both sides so that they always come out on top.
Random Parallel: Mac feeding Dennis Mac n Cheese // Cady feeding Regina Kalteen Bars
Dee Reynolds: Gretchen Weiners
They are both very jealous people, and they both get egregiously sidelined. They both go out of their way to defend someone that doesnโt give them the same respect, and are pushed around in spite of being feisty at their cores. They have both been beaten into submission and lost who they are along the way, and theyโre both deeply insecure. They both turn on people quickly and they are both happy to throw anyone under the bus if it means they will get what they want. They are both often left out, and neither of them are ever taken seriously by their peers.
Random Parallel: Deeโs Golden Goddess Speech // Gretchenโs Julius Caesar Speech
Charlie Kelly: Karen Smith
Respectfully, both are dumb, but also both not quite as dumb as everyone seems to think. They are both the most likeable in their circle and both rarely engage in the same conflict that the others do. They both have interesting brains and they both are illiterate and blatantly struggle academically. They both stray from societal norms in varying ways, and they are both favored the most by the โring leaderโ. They are both uninterested in what everyone else around them seems to be caught up in and they are also the most reliable and straightforward.
Random parallel: Charlieโs Phantom of The Opera costume // Karenโs sexy mouse costume
[DISCLAIMER]: when including the side characters, I do believe the dynamic changes a little and would personally swap Dee and Mac - Dee would become Cady to match Artemis and the Waitress, and Mac would become Gretchen meaning that charmacden would be the plastics - but what I have written above is how I see the main four. Below are some silly add-ons about the side characters.
The Lawyer: Principal Duvall
LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS!!!! โจ๐๐ซ
I truly do not know who Frank would be
