This is my favorite version too, OP

[ava_tara]

I won't lie but I love the Cinderella with Brandy but Ever After is my absolute favorite telling of Cinderella that has ever come out.

It was just on the TV the other day and I saved it to my DVR because it was such a great nostalgia kick for me and I still love the movie even now as someone in my 30s.

[(Anonymous)]

I love and adore the Cinderella tale, and "Ever After" is one of my absolute favorite adaptations of it! It definitely deserves more love and attention, especially when people went bananas over new interpretations of classic fairy tales and not many people bring up this interpretation.

speak for yourself im european we grew up with three wishes for cinderella it's great

[dinogrrl]

I don't remember the one with Brandy, though I'm sure I've seen it.
Supposedly the Disney version was my favorite movie when I was like 3, and was how I learned how to rewind movies on the betamax :p.

But I think as an adult, yeah, Ever After is definitely up there on one of my favorite adaptations. One of my favorite light feel-good movies to watch in general!

Best version

[(Anonymous)]

It's the only one with a snarky daVinci, how could it not be the best version?

[(Anonymous)]

I love Ever After a whole lot, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Another vote of love for Ever After. Which reminds me, I need to get it on BR.

[(Anonymous)]

Also, my favorite, but honestly there are very few versions of the Cinderella story that I don't enjoy weirdly.

[meadowphoenix]

It's such a good grounded version. I feel like making Cinderella "real" is actually very hard, but this one is sooo good at keeping the feeling without losing the story even though there's no "magic".

[(Anonymous)]

Not gonna lie, the Brandy version is about neck-and-neck with this one for me, they're both awesome and part of my childhood. The 'whatever you can carry' scene in Ever After counts for a lot though. One of my favourite scenes in anything ever.

As someone with a brother who doesn't like me, I do imagine characters as siblings too.

I cried angry, bitter tears after season 3 so I haven't watched season 4 (still don't know if I will every go back to watch the show), but based on what I watched, she's a difficult character to root for. She can be arrogant and self righteous. TBF Daniel was a lot like that in the 3 Karate Kid movies. But I suppose it's harder to want to root for Sam because she's from an affluent family while Daniel was a working class kid so it's harder to want to root for someone who already comes from privilege. She really dropped the ball on Robby too.

I don't know a lot about Tori because she was such an undercooked character in seasons 2 and 3, but again, Tori has the poor kid angle going for her. She does shitty things because she doesn't have much guidance in her life. She also is handed the responsibilities of a parent to her sick mom and younger sibling.

Not to say being poor instantly makes a character more sympathetic, but in the case of Sam and Tori you can see why Tori is angry and one to escalate situations due to the environment she grew up in and I think it's easier to feel sympathy towards a kid who had their back pressed against the wall so they know to take swings instead of just going with the flow. Whereas all you really get from Sam is that she feels entitled to things going her way because she's convinced she always has the moral high ground.

Is her name pronounced "stasi" like the secret police or like "stacy" how it is absolutely not spelled?

Jonas jr is at least less of an asshole than his father.

...

Or his brother.

...

Or his apparent half brother.

...

Or his nephews.

... So, yeah, if I was going to want to screw anyone in the Venture family, it'd definitely be the stunted almost-absorbed-in-the-womb twin. >_>

This relationship would be skeevy in real life, but I don't see anything wrong with it in fiction.
