I saw this on a post and I completely agree: Nancy Drew doesn't need anything added to her character to make her "interesting." I think that's why HerInteractive succeeded in a Nancy Drew media reboot where movies and shows did not. She is snarky, she is intelligent, she's a bit of a klepto, and she is determined. That's enough. She doesn't need all this other stuff to make her an endearing character. In fact, the way she is is WHY she's an endearing character. That's why I wish adaptions would build off of HerInteractive's Nancy. That's why I am so upset that HerInteractive seems to be changing Nancy. Maybe it is all for the best, what they are trying to do with her character and the franchise, but it just feels like I'm losing the one "true" adaption of her character.
So I mean, go ahead. Add ghosts, add characters, add chaos. Whatever. Do what you think you need to do to "keep it interesting." No, really. I mean, that's what I'm doing.
But for God's sake. Keep true to Nancy Drew. The real one. The one I knew, and grew up with. The one I looked up to. The one I admired.
I don't know who this is directed at, but I felt it needed said.
