8 Reasons Why Veronica Mars Trailer Promises Great Things

4. Kristen Bell As Veronica Mars

Fortunately, Veronica Mars was never a show about romance. Had it been, no doubt it would not had been cancelled by the CW. It was no typical teen drama, and Veronica was no typical teen protagonist. Rather, she was a complex character who existed outside of her boyfriends, intelligent and damaged and hilarious. The most important man in her life was always her father. She did her homework and went to class, on-screen. She wore clothes that were not designer, and she re-wore them in subsequent episodes. She was a real character, and those familiar qualities allowed any viewers who had ever attended high school to accept her, even if she was a petite teenager who happened to double as a capable private detective who solved mysteries on her own. By all hints so far, the film intends to maintain the show's characterization, creating in Veronica a proactive heroine rather than a reactive damsel.
