I never understood the hate towards the Kim possible movie. The actors tried their best, given the material that had to work with.
And everyone portrayed the charters very well, if there’s something I appreciate about the movie is that it make Kim a little more flawed and vulnerable the movie actually focused on her character development and that’s very cool.
It’s true that love action sometimes can translate animation well, but I think the movie captured the essence of the show regardless. I remember there were criticism like: “this Kim is very cocky, she is always showing off and making unnecessary backflips” and all I could think of is have this people seen the og series?
Kim was always a little of a show off, but there was nothing wrong with that. She was good at what she did and she knew it.
I also remember there were people who claimed to be fans who criticized the movie and they couldn’t ever get the name of the characters right dative things like “Shigo”, “Drako” etc. and blatantly getting details wrong such as that “Kim had a secret identity why is she know showing off and revealing it to her family?”
I could ever think of was: have this people watched the original series? I don’t think so.
The worst part is that many “fans” started bullying and sending death threats to Sadie, which is really fucking awful. She didn’t deserve any hate whatsoever. Thanks goodness she took everything in stride and I really believe she did a extremely good job in her role.
i agree with all of this and you said it all very well.
I found the live action to be fun, campy and cheesy (i agree that kim is show-offish in the series but I was dying every time she did an unnecessary backflip it was so funny) but it's a freaking DCOM of course it's like that. The OG series (which I've been rewatching recently) is campy and fun and cheesy. The tech and style was updated because it was made in 2019 and had to adapt for its audience which is primarily kids because again it's a freaking DCOM.
The actors were great in it, so good that I was truly ready to throw hands on Kim's behalf (I still will she was a great friend to Athena and I hate how they had her apologize to the android that was literally working against her to make her feel awful about herself) which is especially impressive because i read that this was Sadie's first on screen role. She did a great job and didn't deserve any of the threats or hate against her.
(I know it probably won't happen since it's been a few years but I would 100% watch a sequel with her and Ron fighting kid Drakken)
It is funny people were messing up basic facts especially the idea of Kim keeping her world saving a secret that was such a basic and essential thing to the plot of the original series.
There are things I wish they did differently (why no Monique?? why was Kim's grandma a fighter and trained Kim?? WHY DID ALL THE ADULTS LIKE BARKIN BLAME A 15 YEAR OLD FOR NOT STOPPING ANOTHER 15 YEAR OLD FROM BEING KIDNAPPED BY TWO GROWN ADULTS WHERE WERE THE POLICE OR THE SCHOOL SECUIRTY???) but at the end of the day the movie entertained me and stuck to the heart and soul of the source material and that's whats most important

❝ She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cozy bed, and to love and be loved in return. ❞

BIOGRAPHY
victoire apolline weasley - though you may know her as a number of monikers: blonde weasley, curse-breaking milf, mom friend™, whatever. she’s the eldest weasley cousin, part-veela, a mother, and yes she is a natural blonde. these are often the defining characteristics she is known by, but there’s a lot more than meets the eye.
born on may 2nd, 1997, almost two years after the fateful tri-wizard tournament where voldemort was defeated “once and for all”, she is the first child born to bill weasley and beauxbatons champion fleur delacour. the first of her generation; hers was a charmed childhood, only made more exciting by the arrival of two siblings and many cousins. seeing as she was older than most of them by a handful of years, victoire became somewhat of a “babysitter” for the family. she spent most of her formative years running after younger weasley-potters, patching up scrapes and kissing bruises as well as diffusing tense situations. from an early age she just naturally took on the role of “mom” among her social groups, the nurturing tendencies carry on even to her hogwarts years where her friends often teased her for being so overprotective of them and “babying” them.
at hogwarts she was sorted into hufflepuff - the first of her family to not be a gryffindor much to the changrin of several of her family members. while the hat had debated between the two houses, it was ultimately the pragmatic and sensible nature of the girl that lead her to being placed among the badgers. this turned out to be best suited to her traits. victoire’s easy going youth lead to her being soft and gentle but also incredibly empathetic and warm. aside from being the aforementioned “mom friend”, she was basically the poster child for hufflepuff - being dutiful, hard-working, trustworthy, loyal and fair. the one “weasley trait” that followed her was a deep love for quidditch, being a beater for the house team for a few years. but her true loves had been herbology, history of magic and charms; the girl spending most of her days studying old textbooks, hanging around the greenhouse, or learning new charms to advance her abilities.
due to a studious nature, she was usually in the favor of her professors and hadn’t found herself in detention like many of her family members might have. it was for this reason she was chosen as a prefect during her latter years, and head girl her seventh. she was responsible and organized in comparison to most of her peers, and actually took pride in being a role model. a side effect of being the oldest in her family - there were always eyes on her and victoire wanted to live up to their expectations.
following school, it was of little surprise when she announced she would be a curse-breaker in training under her father’s tutelage. she possessed much of her father’s qualities - she was an academic achiever as well as laid back in nature, while still managing to be serious when necessary. as a child she was a daddy’s girl and had a very keen interest in bill’s occupation. she used to pretend she was a curse-breaker, "disabling” curses and jinxes on teddy bears and various odd objects throughout the house. so when it came time to take her NEWT level classes, she made sure to structure her schedule around what classes would help her become a successful curse-breaker. it was a thrilling and adventure-filled career path, but her time with gringott’s would only last a few years before she opted to be an “independently contracted curse-breaker” - a choice made in order to continue the work she loved while being a single parent with full custody of her child.
before she began her apprenticeship, victoire spent the summer holiday after her seventh year in france with relatives. despite her claims she would come back “still very much the same victoire” the girl had returned from holiday a very different woman - a married one, actually. hardly one to make rash decisions, it was a shock to hear that after just four weeks of courtship victoire had married a beauxbatons alum she’d met while touring the french riviera. much of the family was opposed to the union, but victoire swore that she was happy and it was meant to be - and for a while that was true.
it turned into a tumultuous affair and would last all of four years before the ill-suited pair would inevitably call it quits - an embarrassing fact considering how adamant she had been that their love was “real” and that it would “work out just fine”. it turned out over time that the two were not exactly suitable and wanted very different things. for one, he wanted to live in france while victoire wanted to stay near her family in england. the only complication left after the marriage was a child that neither had originally planned for - a little girl named amélie whom victoire has full custody of. now her trips to france - via portkey every other weekend - are begrudgingly made in order to allow their daughter time to stay with her father, with whom she has remained (or has tried to remain) amicable and civil despite how poorly the relationship ended.
these days victoire is hardly around. contracted with many independent buyers and sellers of magical antiques and the like, the woman travels across the wizarding world in order to acquire such objects and to reverse whatever hexes have been placed on them as security measures. it’s become harder to balance this job with raising a child, and as such has made her home base in the UK in order to receive the support from her family. she was away on such trips when things began to escalate back home and has since taken on less jobs and has been spending more time in london and close to her relatives during what feels like the return of dark times.
joining the reinstated order of phoenix, victoire is at war with the impending fight. the young woman isn’t too eager to be part of another wizarding war. a little bit of a pacifist, victoire just wants to see a happy future again. having a young child, and seeing the aftereffects of her uncle’s death on his family, makes her worried to put herself in a position where she will no longer be able to take care of amelie. but she also knows that it is up to the order to put an end to the death eaters once and for all - choosing to ultimate put herself in harms way in order to make sure her daughter gets to grow in a safe and happy world like she herself did.
tbh i’ll probably be editing this as i go along.

WANTED CONNECTIONS
THE SCHOOL FRIENDS (2) - a couple fellow hogwarts alums who would have attended at the same time as victoire, they have remained close friends since leaving school and regularly meet up for drinks and to catch up and reminisce. they are hufflepuffs and have their own trio kind of like harry/ron/hermione. bonus points if one is a death eater, 1/2 taken
THE RIVAL - a fellow curse-breaker or someone from victoire’s youth who she has never seen eye to eye with. perhaps its because of opposing ideals, a dislike for the weasley-potter family or whatever petty reason - these two just don’t get along and are constantly butting heads. bonus points for being rivals in the curse-breaking field, open
THE EX - self explanatory; victoire’s ex-husband and the father of her daughter. this is not meant to be a romantic connection. they weren’t very well suited for each other and instead insist upon being civil and amiable for the sake of their daughter. is french/a beauxbatons alumni and would be newly arrived in britain should you take up this role, npc
tbh i’m really bad at these; just hmu and we can brainstorm afheahpfieaihfeiafpieafea
