Mean Girls Regina George confused with the Plastics in the background
Summary Mean Girls is all about the fall of Queen Bee Regina George , but there’s a theory that says Regina isn’t the movie’s real villain – but I don’t entirely agree with it. The 2000s saw the rise of teen comedies, and one of the most popular and beloved ones is Mean Girls. Directed by Mark Waters and based on Rosalind Wiseman’s self-help book Queen Bees and Wannabes, Mean Girls took the audience to North Shore High School to follow Cady Heron .
Mean Girls Theory Says Janis Is The Real Villain Janis Wasn’t Entirely Innocent If it wasn’t for Janis Ian, Cady wouldn’t have gone through everything she did in Mean Girls. Cady was invited to the Plastics’ table by Regina because she took pity on her after Jason tried to mess with her at the cafeteria, fully taking advantage of Cady’s vulnerability as the new girl.
I agree that Janis was a mean girl and a villain in Mean Girls, but I don’t agree that she was the one and only villain in the story. I won’t deny that Regina ruined Janis’ life, and she had the right to be angry after all those years , but what she did to Cady wasn’t right. Like Jason did in the cafeteria, Janis took advantage of Cady’s vulnerability not just as the new girl, but after she had her heart broken, which isn’t what a friend does.
However, like I mentioned above, what I don’t agree with is that Janis was the only villain in Mean Girls, because Regina definitely was one, as well. Most of Regina’s evil/mean actions either happened before the events of Mean Girls or off-screen, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. Regina was controlling, manipulative, intelligent, and cunning, just like Janis – except that they showed their “meanness” in different ways.
Realizing that Janis is a villain in Mean Girls completely changes how I see the movie, but for the better. Mean Girls is definitely fun and has some of the most iconic scenes and lines from the 2000s, but looking back and with the realization of Janis’ real role in it, the movie shows different types of “mean girls/people”. As I explained above, Janis wasn’t the good friend she presented herself as and took advantage of Cady, using her for her own revenge, which ended up getting out of control.
