Wait, people really think she's the villain in all this? - spamlet Jun 7, 13:19
When isn't Broderick the bad guy? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 13:12 1
- those monkeys in Project X saved lives! -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 13:17
I always thought she was the villain. Is she not? -- nm - Jovian Jun 7, 13:11 15
- I'm shocked there's debate over this? I was in MS when it came out and my friends and I walked out with the clear-cut impression she's the villain. -- nm - MDH Jun 7, 13:24 10
  - Asked the bf (he's would have been in HS when released) if he'd seen Election and who was the villain. Response: "Reese Witherspoon. Why?" -- nm - MDH Jun 7, 14:07 2
    - My response: "Long story" haha -- nm - MDH Jun 7, 14:07 1
      - Next ask him about vikings -- nm - Dano Jun 7, 14:18
  - What did she do that makes her the villain? -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 13:37
  - IIRC, she tears down some posters. He cheats on his wife, and changes the outcome of a school election because he didn't like Tracy. - Inigo Jun 7, 13:31 3
    - And the reason he did that? - Reagen Jun 7, 13:33 2
      - Oh, right. Forgot about that. Still, that's way more on the teacher than her. -- nm* - Inigo Jun 7, 13:36 1
        
        Oh absolutely. He takes revenge on her for being groomed. -- nm - Reagen Jun 7, 13:38
  - I think we've found our new Viking debate. - spamlet Jun 7, 13:28 1
    - I might have to rewatch now. I wasn't a huge fan, bit I could see that MS age versus now would be totally different. -- nm - MDH Jun 7, 13:58
- she's a lot to take, but she's an ambitious 17 year old girl, and the world judges ambitious 17 year old girls harshly in the way they don't (say) - Reagen Jun 7, 13:16 3
  - Mind you, Ive only seen it once. I just remember feeling bad for Broderick's character the entire time. -- nm - Jovian Jun 7, 13:21 2
    - That's how villains want you to feel. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 13:22 1
      - (To be clear: I remember nothing about this movie.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 7, 13:23
