    The thing with not making Gabriella's ACADEMIC intelligence appear as much in this one I always took it as it's because this is not really centered at a school this time, so her EMOTIONAL intelligence takes the upfront instead, that's why she seems unbothered most of the time and only goes to do something when she realizes how Troy's demeanor is really affecting her and her friends.

      I agree with you but I also feel like the reason her character isn't as emotionally effective is she states it earlier in the film its the first time she's ever been in one place because she's always moving so she just wanted to have a great summer with him and her friends so she wasn't thinking of academics and I don't think she wanted to get stressed with drama

      I actually really like how mature she handles things. In the first movie she doesn’t blow up at Troy after seeing what he said behind her back, she just says maybe they aren’t working out. She doesn’t even reveal that she knows what he said. & here in the sequel she has enough maturity/trust in Troy to not be threatened by Sharpay getting close to him.

Where as the other movies were written for their voices, and I remember all the press saying he was doing vocal training for the next movie to get us hyped, urgh it was a good time, it’s a shame they didn’t make the most of the time and rerelease the first one with him and her sing in their own keys, I think there may be a disc version but not sure.

      In the fourth and final season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, they brought back the original cast (sans Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens) for a reunion and they confirmed that Ryan was gay. It was something that was always hinted in the movies, but I guess they couldn’t do it at the time due to full on LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream media and entertainment being hard for the majority of audiences to handle compared to audiences of today. Especially for kids and family content.

  • @CallingCollins
    @CallingCollins 8 місяців тому +86

    Okay, I'm here to explain at least one rule. When the cast is singing and its not on a stage, its not really happening. Like in Broadway musicals they have moments when the characters are "thinking" singing to themselves. That's kind of what this is in the movie. It's kind of double layered. Yes, there is a musical taking place in the plot of the movie but the singing when not on stage isn't actually apart of it.
    So, when Chad (Corbin Bleu) character was saying he doesn't dance, he meant it. Because everything he's done was inactuality not real - just something for the audience to see to get in the characters thought process.

  • @bananaslin

    also they did film these movies in new mexico, you can even visit the high school and i'm pretty sure they kept that pink locker for a long time (idk if they still have it). and there's a disney+ series called high school musical: the musical: the series that's a fictional mockumentary style show about the real high school that they filmed it at lol it's a mess of an explanation but it gave us olivia rodrigo so i'm grateful for it!

    OH YES. I can already foresee the controversy of "the song is called I don't dance but he is dancing". I'll editing this as I watch because I love babbling about HSM.
    Ryan was mad when they were dancing to Troy because he had the part of the fish prince in the talent show, but Sharpay wanted to replace him with Troy.
    One thing that frustrates me about HSM is that Sharpay goes back and forth the same chatacter arch every movie because they cant think of another villain ahahaha. So she always unlearns what she learned in the previous movie.
    Miley was in the last song because Disney channel had a pool for people to choose what other Disney Channel star would get a cameo in the movie. :)

    Ashley Tisdale is probably one of the nicest out of the cast in real life. She’s a good actress, if you see her character in ‘Suite life of Zack & Cody’ it is the complete opposite of sharpay. Ashley Tisdale & Vanessa Hudgens are actually best friends in real life. Austin Butler is also Ashley Tisdale’s Cousin. Vanessa Hudgens also dated Austin Butler at one point.

    Edit: Also, Gabriella was most definitely intelligent in this movie. More than you’d expect even from a “child prodigy” type of character. She’s emotionally intelligent. She isn’t bothered until she needs to be. She’s not rude but she draws a line. She addresses Sharpay, she addresses Troy. Idk I feel like it’s surprisingly good writing to say she’s supposed to be like a 16 year old. Very intelligent, just not the way you’d initially think.

    With Gabriella… the whole point is that she wanted to relax during this summer. She literally said she’s been moving for years and never gets to enjoy down time. Also, I kinda agree that it would be hard not be jealous and react to Troy’s behavior, but that’s part of the “academic” ness of Gabriella. She understands why he is spending time with sharpay and how much these experiences can help troy so she’s trying to be patient. She says it herself… the romantic relationship will work or it won’t, but Gabriella gets mad when sharpays antics hurt her personally and her friends. Maybe too logical for a high schooler, but I get what they were going for.

I actually never thought of her being less in the spotlight in this one. Around when the third movie first was coming to Disney Channel -It was played in theatres first then came to Disney Channel probably two years later - They played all the movies to lead up to it so I was a bit older rewatching this (maybe 11) and the scene where Gabriella sang 'Gotta Go My Own Way' made me cry. I really felt everything with her. Like it moved me so it did not feel like she was lacking in any significant way since that scene got the biggest emotional response out of me. Like that was literally the first time I can recall crying over a movie. But you're sort of right in that she was less present in this one.
