Considering that I am the unprettiest RUclipsr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear jus
To be honest, The Thundermans was so weird and dumb when I watched it as a teen. Most jokes didn't always land and it was really wacky sometimes. Yet, even though I don't remember much of it, but I actually enjoyed this show. Plus, who doesn't love Max. Dude had a lot of character development. Edit: Thank u so much for the likes and also tanjoy0205 I forgot about of the rabbit, I think his name was Dr Colosso. Funny character.
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
@@the-white-eye I was either too young or not alive for most of the other shows.

Yk, what I liked about this show is, that despite them being superheroes, we rarely see the superhero sides, and it focuses way more on "living with superpowers as a kid". Like, theres so many shows about "saving the day" and etc., but this show shows the other sides.
@@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 …
I actually liked Max a lot more than Phoebe. Yes, he could be a jerk, but his family openly prefer his twin sister over him, so you can't blame him entirely for wanting to be a supervillian.
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
I love Max, he was my favorite. Phoebe may have been smarter school wise but Max had all these devices that could destroy the city. He has a lot of smarts he just doesn’t like showing them in school which is understandable. Max did what he could to get his parents attention and i applaud him for that. Phoebe was just they perfect child while Max you could constant see his flaws and him trying
maturing is realizing max was low-key the scapegoat of that family, just because he was a weirdo and claimed he wanted to be a "villain" (no matter how shit he was at it) instead of hero. seriously, they treated him terribly.
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.
I grew up watching The Thundermans. The show is actually amazing, it doesn’t forcibly try to be funny, and more so focused on the relatable sibling dynamic.
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.
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.
The thundermans was clearly an attempt to win over the Disney channel's glory. Considering the fact that *Lab Rats* (which was a convenient other show about teens with powers in a sitcom format) was made only a year earlier.
I loved the rabbit when watching this show. However, it was confusing that he was a evil super villain who got turned into a rabbit but he acts like one and is treated like a pet. It’s.. odd…. Oh yeah did I mention there’s a rabbit which used to be a unstoppable super villain but the dad turned him into a rabbit and now he’s Max’s pet-friend thing
This show is actually great. It's not very funny, but the characters and their development are surprisingly well written, especially if you watch all of the show.
@@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.
It's weird The Thundermans wasn't made by Dan Schneider because they had a great crossover episode with Henry Danger which is in the same universe as all of Schneider's other shows.
@@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)
Max has all of these evil devices and powers but never uses them. He could overthrow governments, nations, and organizations but decides to prank the principal.
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.
I'm sorry, how did you not mention their archenemy who THEY TURNED INTO A RABBIT AND ARE KEEPING AS A PET?! He's basically the reason Max becomes evil!
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.
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
There's one thing I don't like about this show it's that Hank, Phoebe, and Max don't have their own secret identities. Yes Hank is Thunderman but he's name is Hank Thunderman. It's a really dumb joke that doesn't make sense considering it's apart of the Schneiderverse where Ray Manchester & Henry Hart alter egos are Captain Man & Kid Danger respectively.
@@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.
@@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
Since Alex is an allegedly grown man watching a kids show, that makes me an allegedly grown man watching another allegedly grown man watching a kids show. Not sure if that's the explanation I want to give my wife next time she asks what the hell I'm watching...
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.
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.
@@panorrmike4761 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 ...
for a show that’s pretty cheesy and with jokes that don’t always land, i loved the thunderman’s. even when my little sister watched it recently, i rewatched with her was actually surprising invested lmao
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.
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.
Max's character grew so much as the show went on, and it was a really unique concept to make him a villain, and it was overall pretty unique idea. I mean it's The Incredibles as a TV show don't get me wrong, but I thoroughly enjoyed the show until the last season when it got weird.
So, a summary of the show basically: weird but fun. I sporadically watched episodes as a kid and yeah, it's stupid, but it's supposed to be. It made me and my brother laugh a lot at that age.
another show i watched during the pandemic. not bad at all. i avoided this show like the plague when it first came on but decided to give it a chance. i wonder what it was with sitcoms and adding extra children halfway through its run?? weird. but i will say that this show's existence helped shows like villains of valley view thrive so i'm glad for that (both moms have electric powers wtf??)
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?
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 RUclipsr 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.
I love this show. it was so funny to me, in that endearing, stupid way most Nick shows are :) Also, my cousins are twins, and they despised each other until they were 18.
I hope I'm not sounding like a broken record, but... How long until you do a video on Lab Rats? Now that you did videos on both of Nickelodeon's 2010s sitcoms about teens with superpowers, it's only fair that you do Disney's take on it (which, for the record, came before both The Thundermans and Henry Danger). And let me tell you, Lab Rats' first episode is pretty freaking bonkers.
I remember preferring max because I thought Phoebe was too perfect. Also her excessive and unrealistic girly ness bothered me cause all the big things I remember about her are her liking boys and hating max while I remember max causing mischief and doing fun stuff.
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.
@@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
I used to absolutely love this show but i only watched the first few seasons. I also wanted to be a supervillain as a kid because of max. and marcus from lab rats. They just seemed so cool at the time. Edit: OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT WAS GENDER ENVY
I tried rewatching this show a few months ago and it made me uncomfortable how they just didn't take him seriously with how much "villiany" Max was interested in, and actively going towards. Literal black sheep
Disney's lab rats handled the "superhero family pretending to be a normal family" trope way better imo, the drama made more sense and the sibling dynamics were funnier, they felt more like an actual family of weirdos
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.
@@reannagordon isn't it normally the other way around in their universe? They tend to have more powers when their young but then their bodies settle with one or two? I think I remember that they said something like this when the new sister cloe(?) came in.
Honestly, the Thundermans was such a good show and I really enjoyed it more. Plus Max was hilarious so was Phoebe and Cherry. I honestly still rewatch this show because I enjoyed it so much.
Shame you didn't mention Jed Spingarn's (who created this show) previous works, which include writing for Pinky and the Brain, Jimmy Neutron, Johnny Bravo and Big Time Rush. He's one of those writers that basically has written for certain shows throughout our childhoods.
Scott Fellows is cool too, he made Ned's Declassified, Johnny Test, Big Time Rush, 100 Things to do Before High School, and Supernoobs(I recommend Alex review Ned's Declassified and 100 Things)
@@DJWingoYT They do have a lot of similarities -They both take place in middle school -Ned and CJ both talk to the viewer about what happens in the episode and the lesson they learned -They both are a trio of 2 guys and 1 girl -Cookie and Fenwick are both smart, black, and wear glasses I'd say Ned's is more about how to survive middle school while 100 things is about making the most/having fun with it
I think assuming someone's an only child is kinda just a part of all of us since we never really think of anyone in relation to the RUclipsr aside from parents & grandparents and whatnot
Weird in a good way, I personally loved everything about it. Some episodes were cooler than others, but they all had great lessons and there were a few lines that were actually pretty funny to me
What hurt me most about this show was how they stupified the parents especially the dad, and that one time we had a max and nora episode that was soon good, that they never tried it again. 😔 so many missed opportunities in this show
"stupid parents" was the status-quo for these shows. Remember, they were targeted largely at teens, who like to believe their parents are dumb or at least horribly out of touch.
This show was my childhood and it definitely wasn’t the best but it did well for their target audience and I enjoyed watching it with my siblings after school very much 😊
I first saw a but of this video a couple years ago, the one where Max replaced the city's water with smth else. Then, a couple years later, I remember the show and watched it. It was weird and didn't make sense sometimes, but I loved it for some reason, and still do.
I really like the Thundermans, especially when the episode where Max finally had the chance to get what he wanted, to become a supervillian. It had been mentioned before but only in joking sort of situations. However, they actually gave development of that and showed that good side of Max. Max was never truly a Villian. He was just a bad kid and honestly, many shows play this trope of the favorite kid vs. Bad kid or something. They play this trope but it is mentioned as a joke and also mentioned his parents do love Max but just didn't like how bad he acted, which is why I LOVE Barb and Hank. I also really liked Dr. (whatever his name is I forgot lmao).
My friend introduced me to this show a couple weeks ago and Dr. Colosso lowkey reminds me of Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I wonder which one would win in a fight…
@@trinaq Omg it’s you! Hi Trina! I see you almost everywhere! Sorry if that sounds weird. And I guess you’re right. Salem’s got hundreds of years’ experience.
Now I’ve seen someone else talk about this show i want to share my really in debt theory. Chloe is actually adopted. In the show we can see that the family all have various powers and for everyone in the family you can make a argument that they kinda resemble there parents powers in a way showing that they’re there biological offspring. Max and phoebe both have telekinesis that they could’ve gotten from his dad that can fly. They also have fire breath and ice breath what they could’ve gotten from there moms weather powers. Billy has superspeed what he could’ve gotten from his dad as he has a lot of power. Nora has laser eyes what you can say she has from her mom as it’s just a hot beam. But Chloe has teleportation and there doesn’t seem to be any way she could’ve gotten it from her parents given how it’s so different. In the show they also hint at several superheroes being on duty and maybe a couple died leaving a orphan baby behind. To not make it look suspicious the mother fakes being pregnant for a while before adopting Chloe, this would explain the short pregnancy. I need other hobby’s
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.)
Max was my favroute, he had allot of grough threw the series. I felt rlly bad for him as well, his family always favoured his twin and it clearly affected him. I'm happy at the end they were able to make up though
I can't believe you finally reviewed this show and you didn't even mention Max had a talking pet rabbit named Dr calsso that was definitely a WHT moment for me lol
As someone who grew up with this show, this was a great review, but yet I'm still very confused on how he managed to go this whole review without mentioning Dr colosso!?
I have a twin and we used to watch this show as kids like A LOT, their relationship was very relatable for us cause we hated each other’s guts lol. We would always comment how we tried to kill each other….their relationship is very accurate in my experience :”D
@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.
Man, i missed these tv shows from nickelodeon (The most notable ones were Henry Danger, The Thundermans, Game Shakers, iCarly, Sam & Cat) The Thundermans was great, the charcter development, the comedy was meh, but overall the show was awesome. Congrats on getting to 3mil Alex!
I don't mean it in a disrespectful way but this is just the Henry Danger universe. The Thundermans has nothing going on to push the universe forward, right? Unless I'm missing something and they're still mentioned...
@@kenm.a.d.7196 Ah, sorry for questioning you. I know they were brought up after the special in Henry Danger. Disney might be doing something similar soon.
there were some things that phoebe said toward the end of the show, that weren't funny in general, but her expressions and the way she says them made me chuckle a few times
I really liked this show as a kid, though I never really understood why, since I really don’t like American sitcoms. As I got older I came to realize that I just had a crush on Kira Kosarin.
I'm gonna be honest, I used to laugh at the jokes in this show. Now I see how corny it is. I watched this show for Max's character development, the younger siblings shenanigan, and the whole family's dynamic. I liked it a lot before, I would give it a re-watch, but I don't think I can handle the jokes anymore.
Yes your talking about the most underrated Nick Sitcom back in 2013 I watched it at my grandmas house. I had a crush on Phobe as a kid she was the nice girl trope but with superpowers,Max was edgy with a Gazpacho voiced Rabbit names Coalasso,Norra is obsessed with bows,and Billy well he's basically PJ from Good Luck Charlie but more air-headed. Overall Thundermans is one of the best Nickelodeon sitcoms of 2013!
@@FTChomp9980 The Thundermans had 4 seasons, 98 episodes, was on for 4 1/2 years, gets a lot of videos on the nick channel, and still reruns daily on Teennick. The Haunted Hathaways only had 2 seasons, was barely promoted, rarely does reruns, etc. I still love both shows ofc but it's clear 2 c which 1 is more popular
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.
For a younger audience, very top notch. When I was younger, I enjoyed the hell out of this show. Would be so happy for a new episode and was so upset when it ended. I'm 16 now, so I agree kind of to this. I guess it's for preference really, still kind of enjoy it a bit (not as much as I used to)
I have never seen this show, but I am so glad you pointed out that shoes on the bed thing, I literally almost screamed, who just puts their dirty a** shoes on their bed...bruh that's where you sleep.
I personally love pinecones. There are about 20 varieties of pine trees worldwide that produce cones; which makes them actually fairly uncommon. Pinecones are actually protective shells for pine seeds, keeping them safe from cold temperatures and ice! I think they’re extremely unique piece of the natural world and are generally really interesting! I also think they look like fairies would move into them after they expel their seeds! Those are my thoughts on pinecones
Pheobe is so annoying. I already like Max more. I mean, being creative, trying to show your parents you can do cool stuff, but them never seeing who you really are and appreciating what you can do over years, and years of this that leads to frustration, outbursts, and wanting to become a villain? Yeah. When your family gets stuck on seeing only a couple of things about you, and it's not even who you are, despite you trying to change their perception...? Absolutely relatable.
The best shows on Nick that weren’t by Feet Man were by Scott Fellows (BTR and Ned’s Declassified. Also did work on Fairly Odd Parents and I can totally see it). The comedy styles of BTR and Ned’s were unique and iconic. Plus no laugh track!

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.
Can’t believe you never talked about Colosso! He had tons of character development both physically and mentally!
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
The thundermans was clearly an attempt to win over the Disney channel's glory. Considering the fact that *Lab Rats* (which was a convenient other show about teens with powers in a sitcom format) was made only a year earlier.
Ever heard of the villains of valley view
no, no I have not
@@alexshay9033
@alexshay9033 Yeah, I feel like it's the counterpart of Tuundermans but villans, and also atleast they are funny
I loved the rabbit when watching this show. However, it was confusing that he was a evil super villain who got turned into a rabbit but he acts like one and is treated like a pet. It’s.. odd…. Oh yeah did I mention there’s a rabbit which used to be a unstoppable super villain but the dad turned him into a rabbit and now he’s Max’s pet-friend thing
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
This show is actually great. It's not very funny, but the characters and their development are surprisingly well written, especially if you watch all of the show.
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.

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

The way she stretches out her arm so aggressively is kind of funny.😂
It's weird The Thundermans wasn't made by Dan Schneider because they had a great crossover episode with Henry Danger which is in the same universe as all of Schneider's other shows.
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 💀
Max has all of these evil devices and powers but never uses them. He could overthrow governments, nations, and organizations but decides to prank the principal.
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 actually know twins who used to be close as Zack and Cody, but have completely drifted apart and barely talk.
I'm sorry, how did you not mention their archenemy who THEY TURNED INTO A RABBIT AND ARE KEEPING AS A PET?! He's basically the reason Max becomes evil!
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.
There's one thing I don't like about this show it's that Hank, Phoebe, and Max don't have their own secret identities. Yes Hank is Thunderman but he's name is Hank Thunderman. It's a really dumb joke that doesn't make sense considering it's apart of the Schneiderverse where Ray Manchester & Henry Hart alter egos are Captain Man & Kid Danger respectively.
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
4:12 When parents openly favour one child.
Wait, did Alex watch the ENTIRE series? I thought he just watched the pilot. Get this man a medal or something if he does because that's dedication.
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.
Since Alex is an allegedly grown man watching a kids show, that makes me an allegedly grown man watching another allegedly grown man watching a kids show. Not sure if that's the explanation I want to give my wife next time she asks what the hell I'm watching...
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.

I agree
for a show that’s pretty cheesy and with jokes that don’t always land, i loved the thunderman’s. even when my little sister watched it recently, i rewatched with her was actually surprising invested lmao
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
Always land, I loved the Thundermans . Even when my my little sister watched it recently, I rewatchd with her was actually surprising invested lmao
Honestly I thought this was one of nick’s underrated shows. It had a lot of good moments
As a guy with a twin sister, I can confirm that Alex meyers is indeed wrong this time, man we fought worse that anything this show has.
Lol.. So true

I’ve come to a massive conclusion. The animated teenage boy room in Alex’s videos is actually his own room in real life.
8:00 wait they literally just did the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet lmao
And from that’s so raven
Max's character grew so much as the show went on, and it was a really unique concept to make him a villain, and it was overall pretty unique idea. I mean it's The Incredibles as a TV show don't get me wrong, but I thoroughly enjoyed the show until the last season when it got weird.
What was wrong with the last season. I personally enjoyed it
So, a summary of the show basically: weird but fun. I sporadically watched episodes as a kid and yeah, it's stupid, but it's supposed to be. It made me and my brother laugh a lot at that age.
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 😅
another show i watched during the pandemic. not bad at all. i avoided this show like the plague when it first came on but decided to give it a chance. i wonder what it was with sitcoms and adding extra children halfway through its run?? weird. but i will say that this show's existence helped shows like villains of valley view thrive so i'm glad for that (both moms have electric powers wtf??)
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 RUclipsr 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.
I love this show. it was so funny to me, in that endearing, stupid way most Nick shows are :) Also, my cousins are twins, and they despised each other until they were 18.
agreed, the show has aged WAY better than expected.
I hope I'm not sounding like a broken record, but... How long until you do a video on Lab Rats? Now that you did videos on both of Nickelodeon's 2010s sitcoms about teens with superpowers, it's only fair that you do Disney's take on it (which, for the record, came before both The Thundermans and Henry Danger). And let me tell you, Lab Rats' first episode is pretty freaking bonkers.
Yes!!!!! Please!!!!!

That's what I've been thinking. I would love to see a video on Lab Rats!

I remember preferring max because I thought Phoebe was too perfect. Also her excessive and unrealistic girly ness bothered me cause all the big things I remember about her are her liking boys and hating max while I remember max causing mischief and doing fun stuff.
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
I used to absolutely love this show but i only watched the first few seasons. I also wanted to be a supervillain as a kid because of max. and marcus from lab rats. They just seemed so cool at the time.
Edit: OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT WAS GENDER ENVY

i still love marcus tbh

6:57 Everyone probably had a crush on SheGo of Team Go as a kid.
Fun fact: Henry Danger and the Thundermans had a crossover.
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.
I tried rewatching this show a few months ago and it made me uncomfortable how they just didn't take him seriously with how much "villiany" Max was interested in, and actively going towards. Literal black sheep
As a 13-14 year old, I saw both this show and Henry Danger as masterpieces of television.
The Thundermans kinda sounds like the Incredibles with the "Mom wants to live a normal life, and the dad doesn't"
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
Disney's lab rats handled the "superhero family pretending to be a normal family" trope way better imo, the drama made more sense and the sibling dynamics were funnier, they felt more like an actual family of weirdos
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 😂😂
4:41 Never thought there would be an Emiru call out in an Alex Meyers video!
For a superhero show, there’s an EXTREME lack of superpower moments. 🤨🤔🙃
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
I think it suits the premiss since they are a superhero family trying to seem normal so the amount of superpower moments is okay
@@reannagordon isn't it normally the other way around in their universe? They tend to have more powers when their young but then their bodies settle with one or two? I think I remember that they said something like this when the new sister cloe(?) came in.

The talking rabbit, Dr Colosso, was always my favourite character. He reminded me of Salem from the 90's Sabrina.
He is voiced by Dana Snyder, the guy who voiced Gazpacho in Chowder.
he's my favourite too
What hurt me most about this show was how they stupified the parents especially the dad, and that one time we had a max and nora episode that was soon good, that they never tried it again. 😔 so many missed opportunities in this show
It could get a squeal if it is animated
"stupid parents" was the status-quo for these shows. Remember, they were targeted largely at teens, who like to believe their parents are dumb or at least horribly out of touch.
Aqq
All nikelodeon Dads are being portrait as unintelligent and stupid
No, they weren't portrayed as stupid, but rather cringy, which every teen thinks their parents are
This show was my childhood and it definitely wasn’t the best but it did well for their target audience and I enjoyed watching it with my siblings after school very much 😊

I really like the Thundermans, especially when the episode where Max finally had the chance to get what he wanted, to become a supervillian. It had been mentioned before but only in joking sort of situations. However, they actually gave development of that and showed that good side of Max. Max was never truly a Villian. He was just a bad kid and honestly, many shows play this trope of the favorite kid vs. Bad kid or something. They play this trope but it is mentioned as a joke and also mentioned his parents do love Max but just didn't like how bad he acted, which is why I LOVE Barb and Hank.

Now I’ve seen someone else talk about this show i want to share my really in debt theory.
Chloe is actually adopted.
In the show we can see that the family all have various powers and for everyone in the family you can make a argument that they kinda resemble there parents powers in a way showing that they’re there biological offspring.
Max and phoebe both have telekinesis that they could’ve gotten from his dad that can fly.
They also have fire breath and ice breath what they could’ve gotten from there moms weather powers.
Billy has superspeed what he could’ve gotten from his dad as he has a lot of power.
Nora has laser eyes what you can say she has from her mom as it’s just a hot beam.
But Chloe has teleportation and there doesn’t seem to be any way she could’ve gotten it from her parents given how it’s so different.
In the show they also hint at several superheroes being on duty and maybe a couple died leaving a orphan baby behind.
To not make it look suspicious the mother fakes being pregnant for a while before adopting Chloe, this would explain the short pregnancy.
I need other hobby’s
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.)
Max was my favroute, he had allot of grough threw the series. I felt rlly bad for him as well, his family always favoured his twin and it clearly affected him. I'm happy at the end they were able to make up though
I can't believe you finally reviewed this show and you didn't even mention Max had a talking pet rabbit named Dr calsso that was definitely a WHT moment for me lol
Childhood memories... Oh my god, 0:15 is that "house of the anubis" i remember that show, i loved it!

As someone who grew up with this show, this was a great review, but yet I'm still very confused on how he managed to go this whole review without mentioning Dr colosso!?
When she pulls the game disc out COMPLETELY CASELESS, I was horrified.
A show that passes the Bechtel test by coincidence, once again.
I have a twin and we used to watch this show as kids like A LOT, their relationship was very relatable for us cause we hated each other’s guts lol. We would always comment how we tried to kill each other….their relationship is very accurate in my experience :”D
@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.

For a younger audience, very top notch. When I was younger, I enjoyed the hell out of this show. Would be so happy for a new episode and was so upset when it ended. I'm 16 now, so I agree kind of to this. I guess it's for preference really, still kind of enjoy it a bit (not as much as I used to)
I have never seen this show, but I am so glad you pointed out that shoes on the bed thing, I literally almost screamed, who just puts their dirty a** shoes on their bed...bruh that's where you sleep.
Great stuff, never thought you would do this show though.
“No twins are like this.” 🤣pfhaha, I know twins that are worse than them. Like way worse.
I love this channel.
10:29 HARRY STYLES SPOTTED I REPEAT HARRY STYLES SPOTTED
Wow, this show did NOT age well. But no matter what your opinion is, we can all agree that Dr Colosso was the best character😂
What went wrong with it
@@nep2125 I'm also wondering the same thing.
Why though?...I think it's still pretty solid
@@myaedelman Me too I'm pretty confused with this comment 😂😂
MAX AND COLOSSO
I love how every time Billy runs, all these papers explode around him but WHERE DO THESE PAPERS COME FROM?!
The Thundermans and the Haunted Hathaways are the last shows I remember liking from Nickelodeon
Bro, I completely forgot about the existence of "Haunted Hathaways"
Both shows even had a crossover episode together
@@lucasborum4106 I almost forgot abt that omg
I loved haunted hathaways as a kid hel
I'm not surprised your channel is still gaining subs. You're not stagnant because you're hard working and genuinely understand what people want to see
Personally I loved this show as a child, and looking back on it now... It has aged like apple cider
I personally love pinecones. There are about 20 varieties of pine trees worldwide that produce cones; which makes them actually fairly uncommon. Pinecones are actually protective shells for pine seeds, keeping them safe from cold temperatures and ice! I think they’re extremely unique piece of the natural world and are generally really interesting! I also think they look like fairies would move into them after they expel their seeds! Those are my thoughts on pinecones
Fun Fact: Pine trees NEED fire to reproduce.
"Rated F for funky!"
I can't believe multiple adult men said
"Yes, this is good"
"Everything you've ever done ever?" Gee, I wonder why he became a villain.
This show was weird, but I still enjoyed watching it after school. It was just ridiculous enough to be entertaining but not brain damaging.
0:35 “ ALLEGEDLY GROWN MAN WATCHING A KIDS SHOW!!!” I’m literally almost DEAD 💀
Late thirties lmao
I love it every time 😍
Pheobe is so annoying. I already like Max more.
I mean, being creative, trying to show your parents you can do cool stuff, but them never seeing who you really are and appreciating what you can do over years, and years of this that leads to frustration, outbursts, and wanting to become a villain? Yeah. When your family gets stuck on seeing only a couple of things about you, and it's not even who you are, despite you trying to change their perception...? Absolutely relatable.
The best shows on Nick that weren’t by Feet Man were by Scott Fellows (BTR and Ned’s Declassified. Also did work on Fairly Odd Parents and I can totally see it). The comedy styles of BTR and Ned’s were unique and iconic. Plus no laugh track!
Dude those little sound effects on BTR are amazing. I love that show, I don’t care if it’s for kids way younger than me, man.
