How do the characters justify not seeing Hanna and Miley are the same?


The premise of this show simply is ludicrous that NO one sees that Miley and Hanna are the same girl except one is wearing a wig...
That means they are all pretty dumb and blind. When Miley is Hanna she could at least change her diction or dialect..but it's so silly to think everyone can't see she is the same girl.




Pattinson is ridiculously hot

Good point. I've always wondered about that. The screenwriters has never thought about that, obviously

reply

Your point is valid, but no one knew Clark Kent was Superman until he took off his glasses. So justify that.

It's a fictional universe. Anything is possible.

It is silly, but at the same time...Everyone who knows Miley don't even expect her for a second to be a superstar. They don't even consider it in their minds. To most of them, Miley is probably the opposite of Hannah Montana...So if you don't want to see it, you don't see it. :)

But I still agree with you that in real life, someone at least would've pointed out how incredibly alike they look.

Sure, but this notion actually makes more sense in the show than it did the movie. Although it's somewhat strange that Miley doesn't get recognized as Hannah by her classmates, she almost got caught as Hannah twice (first by Rico, then by Ashley). With the exception of Lilly and Oliver (and in a lesser exent Rico), she doesn't hang out with the rest of the classmates after school as Hannah.

However, this notion was extremly overlooked in the movie; Travis and Lorelai were spending weeks with Miley in Crowley Corners, so how come that neither of them could recognize her as Hannah? When Lorelai told Hannah: "You must have a lot of stories to tell" during the dinner at the Mayor, I just wanted to cringe Was that woman actually that dense?? And as already pointed out; How come that nobody could recognize Hannah's voice when she sang "Hoedown Throwdown"? Even the kids didn't recognized her and neither Oswald (who was already dumb as a rock, but however).

The wig has the same superpowers as Clark Kents glasses.

Well if your friend looked like Angelina Jolie would you therefor assume that it was Angelina in a wig? NO! It has been pointed out by characters that she sings and looks like Hannah. Rico even says it then says something along the lines of "Nah, your not smart enough to pull something like that off".

If I were a character on the Miley Montana show, I would assume that anything you put in front of me was actually what you said it was. Hillbilly retard in a wig? Rock star. Goat in a top hat? Successful banker. Duck wearing a sign that says "President of France?" President of France. 6.7 ounces of freshly sliced ham with a post-it note off to the side that says "I think that's Angelina Jolie?" Yeah, I'm gonna get all Brad Pitt on that pile of meat...

It's not hard, people. Just consider your target market.

Ignorance, by definition, is a lack of training or knowledge. Stupidity is being slow, dim-witted, or lacking ordinary quickness.

Anyone that's dealt with the average child knows how curious and inquisitive they are, and that's not stupidity at all. Most children have the capabilities to ask questions and form their own opinions; again, not stupidity.

It is, in my belief, extremely ignorant of you to think so lowly of children because they subscribe to a lesser brand of comedy or sitcom show. It's a cop out to blame lackadasical writing on the so-called 'stupidity' of children, when it's really the lax and lazy writers who water down the scripts and dumb down characters because it's too much effort to turn out a quality script for a half-way decent show.

So if people are willing to believe Miley and hannah are different just by a wig, why is so difficult to greenlight a new Superman movie?

reply

Worked for Superman.

It's absolutely ridiculous, yes. I don't know how anyone in their right minds wouldn't pick up on the similarities in Miley and Hannah's mannerisms and facial expressions...not to mention their voices. She doesn't even try to put on an accent when she's Hannah, so they sound exactly alike. At the very least, her classmates should be noticing that she looks an awful lot like Hannah Montana, ESPECIALLY when she sings in class, which she has done on the show at least once.

But hey, it's Hollywood, and even more than that, it's Disney. You're not really supposed to ask those questions. It's the same thing with the fact that "Hannah Montana" sang "Best of Both Worlds" at the beginning of the movie, but that is clearly a Miley Cyrus song, and the lyrics completely give it away. Why would she sing that song as Hannah when she's supposed to not be letting anyone know that she's Miley?

I've always wondered that same question, but in the movie she had so much makeup on in one scene where if I didn't know it myself I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart. Even though I would have noticed her voice, how was Travis and everyone so stupid, same voice people, even in the ho down throwdown, same sining voice, I don't know how the paparazzi didn't even consider that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized that. Although "Hoedown Throwdown" was the most enjoyable scene of the movie, it made me also cringe that nobody recognized Miley as Hannah, while Billy Ray was the only one who seemed worried.

reply

I have always thought that maybe if Hannah wore big sunglasses that might help hide that she is Miley but as many have said, they don't consider Miley as capable of being Hannah.

That and they think they saw Miley and Hannah at the same time when Lily was dressed as Hannah.
