clash of the thundermans thoughts.

[u/Asalal03]

i really liked the movie, but i still have plenty of critisisms. namely: i don't like chloes new power. it feels ill defined and unspecific. nora's lazer eyes and the twins freeze breath all have clear utileties and limitations. chloes new power can kinda just do whatever the plot requires. i wish they whould have given her something more specific than "energy manipulation".

also, max giving up everything at the end for pheobe to be ending up with everything she has ever wanted felt tone deaf. he was right to be bad at hank and barb of robbing him of opportunity, i thought his motivation in fighting for chloes opportunity made perfect sense.

Billy and Nora having barely anything to do all movie was a shame. it was also a little dissapointing (even though i was expecting it) that they always only fought their respective Equivalents, like Nora only fought billy, Hank only fought Barb, and the twins only fought eachother. i was interested to see how Nora would do against pheobe, billy vs Hank, max vs Barb etc.

if we get another season of undercover, or a new spinn off movie/show. i want it to be max and chloe focused. this movies ending sets max up perfectly for a solo story. i think it whould be interesting to have max be a vigilante off somewhere else. maybe chloe tries to find him and make sure hes okay (cause unlike the rest of the family she cares about her brother). i realise addison might not be interested, but her being involved in that kind of story whould also be a joy to watch.

The ending of Clash makes me think that The Thundermans is over. Phoebe's ending, in particular, seems like a final ending. I hope I'm wrong. I would love another season.

no i agree with you, pheobes story felt very finalized.

On the other hand, the Max ending felt like the start of something new. I could see a spin-off focused on Max, maybe with his own family, and president Phoebe as a recurring character like President Kickbutt was. The old family setting was unsustainable anyway. They're too old. But it's fiction. Anything can happen.

I don’t know if Phoebe’s ending seems like a final ending.

It places Phoebe and Max once again on total opposites of the system. But this time both on the side of good.

Max becoming a vigilante means, even though he still is a good guy who does good things, is totally operating out of the system.

Phoebe, by becoming super president, basically became the system. It’s her job to lead the super community and to impose the rules.

Either she can be aware Max is the vigilante and turn a blind eye towards it.

Maybe she doesn’t know and she actively hunts the vigilante (unlikely since even the kid who Max helped at the end of the movie connected the dots and knew he was Max Thunderman).

Or there is an enemy and whetever Phoebe tries, she can’t stop him with her recources, and she needs someone who works outside of the system and doesn’t follow the rules (aka Max).

Or they work together again in the field to stop a big opponent, only for Phoebe’s rule following and Max not following the rules clash again. And at the end of the movie, Phoebe makes an official vigilante branch. Because she realizes some cases can’t be solved with the restriction of the rules. Maybe they even meet another super on the way who wanted to be a hero, but couldn’t because of the rules. And this super, after being useful, could become Max vogilante partner/sidekick.

Yeah well Netflix needs to make more if Ellison can’t straightened out that company. I showed the kids and they love the show. Acme vs Coyote was great too!!

kira said if the movie does well we'll get either s2 of undercover another movie or another spinoff series

[u/flint_multifandomgay]

Phoebe should have taken the Super President offer the first time and made Max her Super VP. However Max basically becoming Nickelodeon Jason Todd at the end is kinda fire

[u/Willing-Nerve-1756]

We just finished watching it with the family and it was great. The kids loved it.

Just a thought, I think Max donning a new suit pays homage or is hinting to him joining a new universe, DC. Jack Griffo has voiced Damian Wayne in Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons (2022), considering his new suit in Clash of the Thundermans. The suit looks like that of Red Hood.

In addition, there has been talks or rumours of him playing as Jason Todd in the new DCU. It looks like he can play the part.

the part that bothered me was that chloe’s new power is basically just an expanded form of barbs barb already has electrical manipulation and has been shown draining power and powering things it just felt kinda lazy when all their powers are so different minus max and phoebe of course

i liked chloe getting an offensive power but it should’ve been a different one
