me as a child finding out we were looking for Carmen Sandiego to ARREST HER and not just hang out bc she was pretty and cool:
(i'm sorry this is how so many of you are finding out but I'm glad I wasn't alone in rooting for her bad bitchery)
@simonefiii I thought she was just a travel baddie
@simonefiii To be fair the second line of the theme song is “stop her crime and solve this mystery” but I was willing to disregard that because why would she be so fashionable and hot if she were wrong????
@simonefiii Y'all must've played the game & not watched the shows because the shows made it clear that she was a cross between Lupin III, Catwoman, & Raymond Redington -- a somewhat moral "villain" who's so far above the heroes that it's more aspirational to catch her than plausible
@simonefiii What?? shee was a FUGITIVE??????
@simonefiii @Jasmariiabia i’m sorry, huh? she wasn’t saving the world?!
@simonefiii That was my girl I thought she was the hero the whole time
@simonefiii Not she was a criminal on the run omg 😭
@simonefiii LOL! I had the book version so I knew this but also never actually tried to find her. It was hard !!!
@simonefiii She was too fabulous in my mind to ever be a villain. She was my first inspiration in life to want to solo travel around the world.
@simonefiii wait a minute! I would’ve never been playing had I known that
@simonefiii Wanted by ACME but her only crime was serving!
@simonefiii I watched the remake last year and found out she betrayed her organization when she realized they were the bad guys and it gagged me. I was so oblivious as a kid lol
@simonefiii I blame Rockapella. She had her own theme song. That's usually hero behavior lol
@simonefiii Wait!! I thought she was an international spy and we were just trying to locate her because… Wait. WAIT.
@simonefiii This did not occur to me before right now. I will support women's wrongs.
@simonefiii I had the time travel game on CD-ROM and I never really got past Egypt lol
@simonefiii Also, Mavis Beacon, the one teaching typing, apparently isn’t a real person.
@simonefiii Im sorry but I be rooting for thieves more than the cops sometimes idec. The Italian Job Carmen SanDiego Ocean's 11 Inception Like good for y'all! STEAL ALL THAT SH*T
@simonefiii If they didn't want us to Stan why the hell would they make her theme song such a bop
@simonefiii she was a rogue cartographer her unlicensed mapping had gone too far
@simonefiii She’s that special type of gentleman (gentlewoman?) thief where you’re supposed to want to foil her plan, but also she’s really cool and stylish, so you want her to get away so they can do it all again next week.
@simonefiii I knew she was a criminal and I still supported her lifestyle. Because she was obviously doing something right, homegirl had her own theme song and no convictions. 🤷🏽♀️
@simonefiii I didn’t even remember she was a villain until I was older. I just always remembered the red trench and the hat. Icon.
@simonefiii I always knew she was a fugitive and I always thought that’s what made her cool 😭😭😭😭
@simonefiii My sister wouldn't let me play the games on the home computer, so I thought we were just trying to hang and she kept ghosting us 😭
