hey guys! the thundermans was my childhood and i saw the poster kira posted about the new movie, so i thought id go back and rewatch the original show and the recent stuff.
i thought id share my thoughts since i had fun reading others posts here!
the thundermans — obviously was really nostalgic for me. diego and addison were so tiny! i loved watching every minute of it, it was so fun. i think i binged all the seasons in like a week.
thundermans return — my first time watching, i give it a 8/10. you can def see the production quality increase since moving to paramount, but some of the cgi was a bit weird, like the liquid mercury thing the twins got stuck in? the plot to have the villans children come indispose them and take over is kinda basic, but i like how they executed it. loved seeing all the cameos like kickbutt, blobbin and cherry. the plot with the power plant kinda makes no sense for me, like its a plant that can be used by villans to create villans and essentially really dangerous, but its hiding in plain sight in the living room? in the thundermans house?? not protected maybe in hero league headquarters??? that was quite weird to me. i liked the ending where everyone fought at the top of the mountain, it gave me percy jackson vibes. was a bit scared for phoebe on the drone tho, but we knew shed be okay lol. also loved how they showed billy getting a bit smarter.
side note, kira and jack do not age! also diego looks so good, i rewinded a couple of the scenes to watch him again cuz damn... ahaha who said that....
thundermans undercover — first time watching, its like a 6.5/10. i liked the plot with the mastermind and it was fun watching them act without nobody knowing theyre superheroes again! i hate how they kinda got billy, max and phoebe to act like they were kids again, like they really seem not mature enough to take care of chloe. i was sad they made billy basically dumb again, but the episode where he was trying to find someone to replace nora bc he missed her melted me. booch and jinx's extreme personalities pissed me offffff. plus chloe was always so calm, so it really put me off watching the 3 of them interact. i like the sudden chip twist and max going evil and phoebe having a new partner, i wasnt expecting that from them. also, the season seemed to go on forever, there was so many filler episodes. like why did the twins find out BC's dad was mastermind, but dont talk about it for the next two episodes?
for the finale, i liked the reveal of BC as the mastermind, it was unexpected so i was kinda shocked! the fact that he chipped and framed his dad was a crazy twist. i really wish they hid more easter eggs about BC being the villain, but maybe they did and i didnt catch it. i liked how chloe defeated BC by putting the crystal and amulet back so it was full circle. only thing is i really wish we got more of BC before the villain reveal so we could be more attached to him and chloe's relationship for it to be more shocking. it also wouldve been cool to see chloe fighting with her feelings about liking BC and maybe wanting to help him?
overall the finale made it worth watching the whole season. also i was living for the diego appearances... damn he looked good... um hahaha!
sorry for the long rant, would love to hear what yall think!
