When I was in first grade, I created an imaginary boyfriend named Jack based off of Whyatt's brother. My younger sister created an imaginary boyfriend named Veanstack, and because we only had one spare seat for them in the car, I threw "Veanstack" out the car window to kill him.

The fact whyatt's brother is the Jack from Jack and the beanstalk implies that, at some point before he was born, his family lived in poverty. His brother sold his family's cow for beans, invaded a castle, stole the giant's properties, proceeded to kill him... and now they live happily ever after.

Like, it would make a good season 2 finale where the other Super Readers realize how much they ignored you and took you for granted after you refused to help them for most of the episode.

'Rewrites' don't just happen because you want to see things go a different way. The power of rewriting reality _itself_ would be akin to Magic, and there's two things you always have to understand about Magic: Firstly 👆, it _always_ comes with a price😬. And Secondly, that price goes up _substantially_ when you're in a "Land Without Magic," like our little Storybrooke here. You might possibly get away with it when no one else around you has agency in their own tales. And perhaps if some got their way, that might even be attainable. But, to lay my cards neatly and cleanly on the table for once, neither of you have what it takes to pull that off. Not in a _million_ years. So, if you'll excuse me, I've got a shop to run. Go take your play-pretend somewhere else."

One thing I couldn't help but notice is in the Frog Prince episode, when they brought up the story "The princess and frog played jumping or wands" when Super Why suggested they do both, they were about to leave each other, which also wouldn't work since the sentence would also mean they can't do neither

[@zingywingerdude1478]

Ok. After watching the video, I have a few comments / theories. 1. I’m guessing that time literally *FREEZES* when they go inside the book club. 2. I’m guessing that the Super Readers’ Styles don’t change cuz like you said, THEY’RE TOO POWERFUL. 3. WHYATT DIDNT HAVE TO GO INTO HIS OWN COMIC TO CHANGE THE STORY. HE COULD’VE EDITED HIS COMIC WITHOUT HIS POWERS. 4. I have no idea why Super Why was struggling to put a word into the sentence in that same episode. I mean, ITS HIS OWN COMIC. Edits: 5. I’m OSO (see what I did there, Athena?) surprised that in the origin episode, their parents were NOT surprised about their kids just wandering off, OR the big bad wolf attempting to blow down Storybook Village. 6. I’m wondering if their powers work without having to go into a book. If the origin story shows them getting their powers outside of a book, do they still work outside of a book? 7. I’m wondering if some of the books from Season 1 are just recorded events of past, or as shown in Cinderella, maybe even FUTURE EVENT PREDICTIONS. 8. In Season 3 Episode 9, when Whyatt’s sister shook a book, somehow, *THE WORDS FELL OUT.* I repeat, THE WORDS. FELL. OUT. WHERE DOES THAT MAKE SENSE IN CARTOON LOGIC!? And when Goldilocks tried to put them in, they were mixed up. And what’s even crazier, after Whyatt said that the book was mixed up, Pig said, and I quote, “I hate it when that happens.” HAS THIS HAPPENED WITH BOOKS BEFORE!? HOW IN THE WORLD WERE THEY FIXED BEFORE THE SUPER READERS GOT THEIR POWERS!?

[@huhneat1076]

12:24 okay, MAYBE: Whenever you enter a storybook, it's the same exact universe, but you see everything flatter, so it appears as a storybook. This means that the tooth fairy changing styles is just a matter of perspective: we followed the super readers in and out of the book. Edit: so I guess if you go two storybooks deep everything's a flat line, and if you see someone enter your storybook they appear as a 4D character????

[@PieNumber4]

I just commented this, but I'm gonna post it to you personally to keep the discussion going: My hypothesis is that the storybook 2D characters are "clones" in the sense that they are a second version of a person that exists at the same time, I believe that they are psychically linked to their 3D counterparts, but the memories that the 3D characters gain are more like remembering a dream which is why the Tooth Fairy needed a note to remind her. I think that while the 2D clones have free will, they still share the same soul and identity as their 3D counterparts, which is why they use I/Me pronouns and "merge" when they're in the same place at the same time

This was the first toddler show i was a stickler for the lore on cause the characters are based on well known stuff.

I always thought of the 2D/ 3D characters as a handy visual cue to highlight the 'storybook' characters vs. the 'real' characters, for whatever worth either of those terms have in Super Why. Also, I have to love Super Why for making Princess Pea not only a badass magic princess, but also a POC, when I show this cartoon to kids, the girls always want to be Princess Pea more than Wonder Red.

[@alexanderveal]

While we're talking about Super Why, there's a lot of things I wanna mention. 1: I feel like Wonder Red got screwed over the worst. Mainly due to the fact that she gets to use her powers the least compared to the other four. Sucks too, because she has my favorite design out of all the Super Readers. 2: One person said the songs at the end are better than the ones in the actual show, and I strongly agree. Cause like, who remembers any of the songs in the show? Name me one song you remember from the show that's not at the end, I dare you. 3: Since she brought up season 3, did you know that Whyatt was voiced by Johnny Orlando before he was a famous singer? 4: One more thing about season 3. I know the animation wasn't all that great before, but it somehow got worse. 5: I don't like the way it uses the interactive style. It's probably not as bad as Dora (I haven't seen that show, so I can't say anything about how THEY use it) But the way Super Why uses it is kinda awkward. Though, I will give credit that this show has kids voices that respond to the characters.

[@neotheyoshare]

I got an answer to 2. I remember Red's rhyming song and Alpha Pig's ABC song. Also the Super Readers to the Rescue

[@IShy2]

For 1, I agree, Red in my opinion is the best character and it feels like the writers HATE her sometimes

[@daisyteto877]

For 5, you are right since Dora does it way worse than Super Why. Dora constantly asks and tells the viewers what to do multiple times and her voice gets louder each time she tells the viewer when they don’t respond.

[@blossompoolofdramaclan8029]

Sometimes I believe Red is more leader material than Whyatt bc of her cool, level-headed demeanor, how she would take Whyatt's place in asking to "state your problem" whenever Whyatt/Super Why was the one with the problem, also after the Super Readers entered the episode's main focus book and Whyatt finished reading the introduction and referencing it back to their own issues back at home, Red/Wonder Red would sometimes say, "To the _____!" Something Whyatt SHOULD have been saying as he's "the leader," but no, it's our girl Red. And yes, I was SUPER MAD at Whyatt's parents when they refused to believe him saying he heard Joy saying his name. C'MON! Whyatt KNEW what he'd heard, HOW COULD HE HAVE BEEN MAKING IT UP?! Makes me wonder if my own parents would've believed if 9-10 years ago I'd heard my youngest sister saying my name while Ma and Pa weren't around. Lastly, just like you, I HATE the S3 animation style. #NotMySuperWhy Especially Woofster's design change; his colors are all washed out and no longer blend in and WORST OF ALL, his SNOUT is too visibly BIG! I also hate how they recycle the old animation, like, can't you keep it consistent? At LEAST make it either all good or all terrible!

[@IShy2]

Being a Wonder Red super fan who defends her through everything she has to go through in the show because of my personal bias, I agree, she's more leader than Super Why, and I hate how it seems like the writers hate her, I've noticed a trend (that's basically mostly in season 1) that whenever she's the one with the problem, she doesn't do anything, even when she easily could like in "The Swan Maiden", the only exception to this is in the episode Doctor Dolittle, and I think the season 3 episode "Rhyming Carnival" I think it was called (I only watched season 1 as a kid, and because of that I hate Woofster and refuse to except him as cannon) This bias wasn't just when I got back into the show, I loved her when I was a kid too, but back than it was halariously intense, I'd break down if she was thrown off to the side, I was actually crazy about it shoving it in everyone's faces, I was a stupid kid XD

She feels like someone just added their deviantart oc in because she’s in every episode and has all of the other Super Readers’ powers combined (there was an episode where she teamed up with the Shuffler (that robot lady) and I thought to myself “Wonder Red and the Shuffler would’ve made a great duo”). I used to want the Super Why cartoon to be a musical, but the songs here are mid (I wish they were Lazytown level), but at least Red got an extended version of her Rhyming Time song (WITHOUT PAIGE INTERRUPTING, btw that’s the only hero song she didn’t sing in.
