In the revival, Lorelai definitely matured and I had high hopes until I saw that after funeral scene. It was so cringeworthy and hard to watch because you just know that Emily is going to rip her to shreds. Most of the traits I dislike in Lorelai appear in Emily and Richard i.e. snobby, selfish, immature, and judgmental. I still really like the character because she's flawed but entertaining for the most part, the actress really saves her worst moments, and she has the other characters to keep her in check(not always of course). The worst moments for me are Fran's funeral, Sookie's baptism, and ruining Thanksgiving Dinner because she's oh so shocked that Rory applied to more than one university. Insert eye roll here mostly because I find it laughable that a. Rory didn't tell her this before dinner when she already experienced the Yale blow up and would want to avoid another fight b. Rory somehow had enough money to pay for all of those applications without telling her c. She didn't see Rory working on them at all and d. Chilton wouldn't inform her of that rule. I also agree with the posters who point out that Emily and Lorelai are both controlling. Lorelai has a more passive aggressive approach to maintaining control but they both demand things be done their way 24/7. I loathed the way she treated Logan simply because he came from money. There are worse things in the world. Rory didn't grow up rich and she was still a spoiled brat. Lorelai would also be a terrible stepmother. She didn't care where Gigi slept because Rory needed her room, she didn't want to move at all, and she wanted Chris to change everything about himself to fit in with her town.
