Ophie Dokie | Emma Approved is Clueless: a study in Modern Jane Austen Adaptations [video essay] @ophie-dokie | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Emma Approved was an Emmy award winning adaptation of Jane Austen's novel "Emma." Though it was a highly anticipated follow-up to Pemberly Digital's first series, "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries," I thought at the time and again as an adult that it lacked a lot of the magic the first adaptation had. That assessment is even more stark when you add in another adaptation. In this video I compare Emma Approved to 1995's Clueless, a movie I have infinitely more to say about than I got around to in this video, and I take a lot less time to do it than I did about Lizzie Bennet.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a Emmy award winning adaptation of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice, and it was uploaded in 2012 right here on youtube! In this video I talk through some of my favorite adaptational choices and how they hold up against the source novel
this video and the Lizzie Bennet Diaries contain references to grooming relationships and revenge based sharing of explicit images, please watch with caution if those topics are difficult for you.

I have no ill will toward Swoop as a person but Ive been aware of her for just around a year now and have felt as though I cannot criticize Alexa Nikolas as much as I did in my Eat Predators Deep Dives without talking about someone who does many of the same things more successfully. Do not go talk to her about this video, we can have our discussion here, she did not ask for me to critique her channel, I did so as commentary and for the sake of my own future content/my audience. This is not beef or drama, its just commentary youtube.
