La famille fière: plus forte et plus fière

When the original Proud Family premiered, I found it charming, funny, and relatable. It always had a slight political lean, but I didn't let it bother me. It was by no definition perfect, but for a kid's show it doesn't have to be. This sequel series is a major downgrade.

Through lazy writing it got rid of a funny character and replaced said character for essentially a political advertisement which set the tone for the entire first season. Season two from the start has clearly shown that this show has become nothing more than a method for unhappy writers, directors, and producers to tell the world that they have an ax to grind while ignoring concepts like making the characters likeable, relatable, and develop through engaging stories.

First of all, that theme song is awful. They should have kept the original one because it fit the energy of the show. However, I guess that explains the new song because this reboot is just as bad. It's just bland and trying too hard. I love Keke Palmer and was so excited to see she was going to be a part of this, but I do not like her character. Oscar is even worse, Trudy is super dominant, and I can go on and on but I'm disappointed and this is just NO.

My hopes weren't high to being with, but it was even worse than I thought. Some things are meant to stay put. The proud family is one of them. I couldn't even make it through the first episode. I grew up watching the original, and well it's been off the air for well over 10 years, and now they are trying humor that's nearly 10 years old such as what are those and bae and a few others. Many kids these days never have even seen the original and I would not show this to my children.

As someone who has never watched the original, I was going into this blind, and must I say, I was quite disappointed as a whole. While yes, the show has potential, it was just executed TERRIBLY.

The show sets on good topics, but the execution of the topics were just horrible. They show LGBT+ as stereotypical greedy/rude people almost immediately with the characters Michael and (I don't even know if he has a name) but Make-up boy, who reminds me of James Charles. The characters overall are generally dislikable with no real reason to like them. Penny's friends are honestly just fake. They try to make it more modern and use 'modern' slang that I wouldn't even consider modern as not much people even use them anymore. The slang consists of "bae" and other things that even I wouldn't use as of current.

My sister put this on without me even knowing what it was, the amount of cringe I had to endure was insane. I decided to look up the series and found that it had a mainly negative view, which is reasonable and deserved. While I will say that it is okay to watch if you are severally bored, the cringe is just terrible and you'll find yourself wanting to gauge your eyes out more than sit and watch.

I really tried to give it a chance and wanted to enjoy it. This reboot just ain't it.

This show has lost all authenticity present in the original. The reboot is... odd, and doesn't seem to know who it's audience is. I enjoyed the first couple of episodes, but the more I watch, the more "cringe" and "fake" it seems, and I'm a pretty progressive person. Unfortunately, I'm done giving it a chance.
