#WhateverWednesday — Why is “Lizzie” on hiatus?
I have previously talked about my love for Lizzie McGuire and how excited I am for a #reeboot. The actual reason why it has been on halt is finally revealed, and I was a bit surprised by it. There is a sex AND a cheating scandal in episode 1.
I am torn about this.
Kind of. But not really.
On one hand, I totally agree that Lizzie is entitled to have an adult life and these kinds of things happen in real life. It would be only normal to see this happening in her life during the reboot. As Hilary Duff stated, she’s an adult. Like us, who grew up with her, we want to see her REAL life journey through her 30’s and not some PG-rated show. Not when it comes to a character we know is our age and is, more than anything, catered to our generation.
On another hand, I understand why Disney is calling this “not family-friendly” and why it perhaps shouldn’t be on Disney+. It should DEFINITELY be on Hulu, though!! I want to see what is this scandal about and who is really involved in it.
In Hilary’s words, “It would be a dream if Disney would let (them) move the show to #Hulu,” because, Disney, WE ARE INTERESTED! Please let this beloved character come to life again.
What are your thoughts on this?
