The Thundermans was a weird show 

Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two HEAVENLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest RU-vidr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear jus

He sleeps in that bed so he can get it messy if he wants to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That is 100% true

Yes so true

The mooostash maaaan! But I've done that and felt like a devil. To this day I have PTSD of just putting my shoes anywhere near my bed.

Honestly tho!

Supervillains get to have way more fun that heroes as they aren’t bound by things like morals and laws

he also had a lot of character development later in the show

I guess it’s because Phoebe is that sort of character that is just so perfect it gets annoying specially because she was clearly the writers’ favorite, she was the one who usually got her happy ending in the end of the episode while Max had to apologize to her for whatever he did so she would end up being the one who was right all along

@@lauracerqueiramachado8979 basically, a Mary Sue (the name comes from a Star Trek fanfic character that is too perfect)

Woooow I didn't even think abt that!! So well said!!

That was most likely just because they didn’t have the budget to actually make a superhero show

shhh dont burst my bubble@@mocapcow2933

Yeah like lab rats, I think lab rats is the perfect mix between family and superhero’s even better than thundermens

@@BlueberryMuffiney Well I can imagine why it would've escaped your notice. Not like they made a whole theme song about it.

It was trash

@@user-kr9ci4qh6g And that’s your opinion, carry on.

Forcibly try to be funny, and more so focused on relatable sibling dynamic.

@@user-kr9ci4qh6g we dont care honestly.

I feel after like season 3 it just wasn't that great. The z force thing wasn't very good tbh. The show lost a lot of the school stuff I think a lot of ppl liked towards the end which I understand but it lost a lot of good characters during that, also how max got dumped was stupid. Atleast that's just my opinion.

That's Nickelodeon for you lmao

To be fair, that's exactly what I'd have done as a kid, if I had those gadgets. I feel like kids don't really think on a global scale, since so much of their world is taken up by school and social activity.

My guy can become a dc supervilan and he uses for nothing

That's because max was never really evil, he just wanted attention from his family since they only cared about his sister.

He literally has a button that could blow up the moon.

I’m gonna be honest Phoebe looked kinda hot in her supervillain outfit

@@sugarboi8960 shes 16.

@@IrisBread the actor was 20 filming

@@sugarboi8960 honestly yeah

@@club2thousand the episode wasnt Filmed in 2013. Use your brain.

Ever heard of the villains of valley view

no, no I have not @@alexshay9033

That's the great part about having kids. You can watch the shows without explanation. The TV is pretty much permanently tuned to Disney or Nickelodeon.

And that makes me an allegedly teen reading the comment of an allegedly grown man watching another allegedly grown man watching kids show

Tell her you are watching a famous child psychologist who evaluates his patients based on the stress they show while acting on old shows. That was a weird sentence.

@@floryandivialle4761 I'm a grown man commenting on a teenagers comment on a grown man's comment about a grown man watching a grown man watch kids shows ...

same but nonbinary and i can blame my brain damage.

Exactly, even his amazing inventing skills are made a joke of and never utilized, acknowledged or appreciated. Hell apparently people got so annoyed a hashtag was created on tumblr called "protect max" in response to his treatment in season 3. That's how bad it got.

I mean he was a jerk through a ton of the series and had his actions cause a ton of the main conflicts. Max is a way more interesting character than phoebe but I’m not gonna say he was just some scapegoat. One episode that was annoying what the pizza contest one, the guy talks non stop about being a villain, steals from a museum, and has a laser to draw on the moon, somehow had his feelings hurt when his family thought he cheated in a contest.

He wasn't the scapegoat, half the bad stuff happened because he always screwed up

@@fulichak6499 The fact that he was a bastard doesn’t exclude his not being treated in a fair way by his family. The two things coexist.

@@fulichak6499 other half was Phoebe, but they still liked her :|

The way she stretches out her arm so aggressively is kind of funny.😂

Ricky ok

FR

Ikr he is my favorite animal character of all of Nick. Edit: Thx for the likes haha

man, i completely forgot about that funny bunny. so underapreciated

I know, he's the main reason I decided to check out the show cause I love his voice actor

True XD

I enjoyed it as a teen too, and tbh i kinda apreciate it nowadays because it has the same type of humour i loved from icarly and such as a kid, but this one i can look back at fonly because it lacks the messed up background of schneider shows

True, loved this show! Though I have to say Billy was my favorite character (Max was my second favorite)

@@the-white-eye I was either too young or not alive for most of the other shows. I watched a tiny bit of Jessie and Liv and Maddie but the only Nickelodeon shows like that I watched were Henry Danger and The Thundermans. I also watched that one show where Phoebe's actress guest stared as a genie and the Henry Danger spin off.

@@bastienx3420 knight squad! Still sad that it got cancelled

@@deepdishequalspizza I think one of the producers are from liv and Maddie and that’s why I think cherrys actress was also in liv and Maddie and also Joey brag was in it too

It's about as good as Henry Danger. Man, Game Shakers is the only bad Dan Schneider show.

@@Groggle7141 both Henry Danger and game shakers suck

@@Groggle7141 hahaha i used to be obsessed with Henry Danger and this show. Actually my favorite character was Chloe because I loved her superpower. Still do.

I agree, the humor is about the same as any other nick/Disney sitcom but the Episodes were actually entertaining because the plots were fun

@@Groggle7141 Game shakers was alright to me nothing really good 2.5/5

yes the bow, she really was in her jojo siwa era

Yep, it was kinda her thing

@@lauracerqueiramachado8979 I get that it was her niche but that’s how I knew my stepdaughter was watching this show. With the typical bad overacting, I couldn’t necessarily tell between Jessie, the Jessie spinoff, Vicorious, that one where they were twins played by I think Dove Cameron …

@@carolinamurtha3102 I agree with the rest, but I don't think Victorious had bad acting

@@carolinamurtha3102 Liv and Maddie.

It was mine too

same

Me too

They also randomly change her powers from bubbles to teleportation because apparently supers have temporary baby powers? The writers probably just made that up on the fly when they realised they couldn’t really do anything interesting with bubble powers.

Yeah I remember that. I also remember in that episode how Billy got born. Thunderman was flying his wife to the hospital and she couldn't take it anymore and he popped out of her and fell for who knows for what long. That's why they call him a mistake. Yeah the show was weird.

@@fjalac9661 damn what did you and I watch?

@@CometCereal She's apparently the Jack-Jack of the show. Giving the "baby" of the family random superpowers and all.

@@CometCereal The Incredibles took note. And thus birthing Jackjack

Colosso was so underrated he was hilarious

Honestly I’m pretty sure Max had a better relationship with Colosso than his family at points.

"the Rabbit" You did not just 😭

colosso was a better friend, teacher and honestly parent than max’s whole family combined

A Nickelodeon show that I did despise a lot had to be Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn! The plot was so repetitive. It's literally, the kids make a conflict, and then fix it. That's it, really.

Same

Failing cartoons and sitcoms add new characters to boost low ratings. Remember Itchy and Scratchy adding Poochy? And the Simpsons simultaneously adding Roy to their cast?

the thundermans was the ONLY reason i gave villains of valley view a chance

When view count is low they add a new character for the hype

It's telling that fans who try to look at the show without rose colored glasses admit that it wasn't a good show. I only saw three episodes just to stare at how Phoebe is and I don't remember anything about them because they were boring. And as of late, there's no video reviews backing the show up. And now there's a newer Disney show called The Villains of Valley View that people accuse of being a ripoff of this show. But honestly, I think the Lab Rats creators might've watched it and thought "we should do that! But the complete opposite where they're evil! And with GOOD writing!" Seriously, this show is the closest thing to a decent current running live action kidcom that hasn't gotten cancelled yet. And personally, it's a better Disney Channel sitcom than Jessie, A.N.T. Farm, Sonny With a Chance, Shake It Up, Jonas or Hannah Montana. And I like all those shows...to an extent. Varying degrees of extent but extent nonetheless. There's more to it than Thundermans fans say it is. Give it a chance. I did hear from one RU-vidr that Bunk'd actually got better since season 4. I still don't plan on watching but at least Disney Channel's favoritism to the show isn't ALL for nothing.

Yyyeesssss

I second this.

I third this, Quinton should make a deep dive review on this show.

well quinton is a loser of course he won't do a show for winners.

I agree

I mean it’s very Salem-esque

That reminds of Lanny and his fish from Pair of Kings - it’s actually very similar… hm…

@@sunshineeee I was going to say, I don't get how it's confusing because it's basically Salem.

@@sunshineeee Took it right out of my brain, which is why he's one of the best characters of the show imo

Peter Pettigrew....scabbers...lol

Thanks

That episode confused me because Jace played a different character on the Thundermans

@@thedude8457 Leon Thomas III & Victoria Justice played characters on iCarly before the crossover. A lot of people look alike. It's not confusing so long as it isn't mentioned and explained in universe.

Henry danger, the thundermans and game shakers are in a single universe separate from iCarly and Victorious. That's because the thundermans had a crossover with Henry danger, which had another crossover with game shakers, and the latter one had an episode that confirmed that the fictional universe of icarly-victorious is ALSO fictional in the hd-tt-gs universe. Yes, I learned the whole nickelodeon cinematic universe lore by wasting a lot my childhood watching trash shows (aside from iCarly and Victorious which are gold)

@@naturalLog26 the haunted Hathaways are in the same universe too because they did a crossover with the Thundermans.

@@availanila oh my god I hated that show so much 💀

He probably just read the plot description of the episodes

@@amiraultshill We have no reason to assume he doesn't watch them. Not only are they all easily obtainable, but Alex seems to enjoy watching cheesy/stupid shows and movies, so it isn't like he'd find it tedious.

@@trianglemoebius well he makes these vids weekly so assuming he starts watching the thundermans immediately after his last vid was posted. He would have 7 days to watch all 4 seasons, write a script, record the video, and edit the video. Which seems extreme, also that's assuming he didn't take a break for a day after the last vid was posted.

​@@amiraultshill That is assuming he only starts watching a new show after he finishes the last one, yes. I figure Alex is watching lots of stuff simultaneously (again, he enjoys watching these clearly, so it makes sense he'd be doing it) and then makes videos on whichever ones interest him. I'm sure there are many shows he watches that he doesn't make videos on too, because they don't give him enough content for a script. I've never gotten the impression Alex watches these solely to make vids. I think he watches them naturally for entertainment, and also makes YT videos when he finds one interesting/funny/etc enough

@@trianglemoebius yeah but he didn't mention, Dr. Coloso, Chloe etc.

Actualy yea. Why didn't they send him to jail. Being a human pet sounds like genuent torture. Like yea it was supossed to be revenge by how he ruined their wedding but still. Over 20 years a rabbit. I never realised how horrible that is as a kid.

also suprised he didn't mention the little sister that came in on one episode and grew to 4 in like 2 episodes, then just stopped growing.

Man was radicalized by his pet rabbit

I mean not really, max himself said he decided to be a villain because he doesn’t want to be overshadowed by pheobe, if he can’t be a better hero than her, he would just be the best villain he can be

@@obitosenju3768 and in the series finale he was a father himself. Which makes it even more fuck up now that I think of it.

@@louise8376 the show is not terrible,the show was made for kids younger than you and me also for me.

This show is about a couple who had retired from the life of superheroes and moved to have a normal life after they had kids.

Agreed, they probably couldn't afford the budget for decent Superhero effects.

The little sister only had 1 power right? Just laser eyes, sucks that she didn’t develop new ones as she got older. Same with Billy and his super speed.

Because they were trying to live a normal life

Phoebe does have secret identity name it was in one of episodes

They eventually get their own secret identities later.

Yeah one of their guests asked him, it was Cole Campbell's father I think in Season 1 and it was kinda of a throw away joke

@@hannaaah1 oh yeah, Thundergirl which would mean Max is Thunderboy. The problem with that is Hank & Barb have 3 other children with superpowers and they can't all have the same name. Guaranteed it'll be associated with their powers but still they should all be more unique and not so simple.

Schneiderverse XD. I like that name

I feel it didn't quite work as a comedy (which is obviously what they were intending it to primarily be) but it did work as a plot-based story. Characters were consistent and grew, the world evolved around the character's actions, stuff like that. It just wasn't always very good at being funny.

Bro same. My sense of humor is really broken that I laugh at the show I rewatch stuff and it’s funny.

i dont really even like the thundermans, its very boring

@@trianglemoebius no

samuel no

Lol.. So true My twin bro and I fought like crazy but we love each other all the same

Same, it's just very different from identical twins, I know some identical twins and they are very close while I'm here not wanting to be associated with the bozo called my twin sister

@@Joe_Mama.also_YTHandlessuckass my friend is an identical twin and he could not be more different from his brother, the only thing they share is looks.

@@cynthiambamalu7104 it's fighting for a minute and being best buds the next. Nothing beats turning the house upside down fighting to doing the dishes together after five minutes.

@Ali Fadila Lol, it's the simple joy of having siblings They drive you completely crazy but you'll lay everything down for them

See I related a lot to Phoebe, but had a crush on Max (I mean how could you not) the girly Ness at the time I found relatable, though I was a 12 year old girl so it makes sense. Her fatal flaw is arrogance and in hindsight she is not perfect she just ended up filling that role in the family. However the boy obsessed culture made me think I always had to have a crush and ended up forcing them on some popular guy, who I later realised I did not like in that way (I mean it was never reciprocated), and as much as I had a crush on max SUPERVILLAIN PHOEBE awoke something in me.

YES!!! My thoughts exactly! I hate protags like Phoebe,, they almost have no personality or flare to them it’s just so boring!

@@thekittyangel5299 i feel like sitcom protagonists have little to no personality because the viewer is supposed to put themselves in the protag's shoes, but honestly it's more interesting when they have actual character instead of just being a cardboard cutout

@@tidepodpadthai2633 ohh yeah, I never thought of that, maybe that’s why

This seems like internal misogyny

Now that you mention it...

I see what you mean but I don’t think that Chloe is adopted. We literally see Barb give birth to her in A Hero is Born (well it technically happens offscreen but you know what I mean.)

And Henry and gameshakers

Bullshit

Loved it

@@mangareader7474 honestly, imo, the Thundermans and Henry Danger was so much better than the Gameshakers and Henry Danger crossover.

Agreed, it was a cheesy show, with dodgy special effects, but it still had moments of charm.

Isn't that like the plot for every "retired superhero story"?

The dad did want to live a a normal life in thundermans 💀

The show even got the baby with multiple superpowers in common.

@@mcflurry2061 yeah and the dad was just a bit of a show off who liked making people happy

Same. Such good days when we were innocent little kids lol

Hell I still watch it to this day. And I’m an adult now. Yes my sense of humor is broken.

Same but I was twelve or so 😅

agreed, the show has aged WAY better than expected.

Man of culture

i still love marcus tbh

It was stolen

Also they surprisely had some serious story arcs and had one villain Vector Krane who was legit a dangerous villain on the show.

@@teddyfilli3079 Yes, and they had actual consequences to being found out

Oh hell no Acting on that show made me want to jump off a cliff

also you cannot call teleporting “geo-leaping” i mean i know it sounds more *sophisticated* but its just stupid

Also they got Naruto in there 😂😂

Yes!!!!! Please!!!!!

@Sleeping Quest I don't think it's quite so factual as it is the perception. I have a twin, and I admit if you asked us how we felt about each other back then, we'd have flat out told you we hated each other. But the truth is people who actually hate each other don't do stuff like sit down and watch telly together. We clearly did love each other (and still do), we just got annoyed with the other one sometimes. I think it's more a question that if you have two people around each other long enough, one will inevitably annoy the other eventually, and twins are together usually for 18+ years. It's very easy to focus in on the bad.

@Sleeping Quest There is a bit of a difference, but it's societally created. When you're eternally having your identity intertwined with another person, as twins are, you naturally grow closer to them. Or, at times, further apart. Think of how twins will be called stuff like "The twins", whereas siblings are more treated as their own person.

I don't think it's a diss, I think it's him pointing out the objective fact that people go on massive deep-dives into stuff that impacted their childhoods (or at least that they remember from their childhoods) and this show wasn't impactful/popular enough to hit that bar and get one.
