If I had Allison's power, I think I'd eventually become a 'villain'. Not right away, of course. At first, I'd try to only use it for good, or for 'little' things...but eventually I'd get corrupted. Probably take about, oh, 20 minutes.

[@HisMajestyTheQween]

[@kattahj]

I think what the discussion of Allison's power is missing is the acknowledgement that parents are meant to fulfill their kids' needs, not vice versa. A kid getting everything they want doesn't fulfill their needs on a deeper level, but "I heard a rumour you stopped crying" completely bypasses their need. Rather than figuring out why they're having this emotion and teaching them how to deal with it, they're taught that their emotion has to go away because it's annoying for the parents. (And yes, that's also frequently true for spanking your kid.)

[@Ghost-Mom]

Which is why those fuckers who have children who try to justify that level of abuse shouldn't have children.

[@nicolet8186]

I think that, with the exception of Diego, the others aren’t supposed to be as good of fighters as when they were kids because they’re out of practice-plus, out of practice working together as a team.

[@NelleBear]

Yeah, Diego and Five are the only ones who are experienced fighters at this point. I'm curious if Klaus has any hand-to-hand combat ability at all, as they didn't show him being involved in the missions when they were younger (not sure if his powers were even useful then in regards to fighting).

Five is a good fighter too

Diego calls Vanya a liability because of her lack of powers. Klaus ends up being the one that gets kidnapped.

[@Clairembify]

Allison is such a fantastic and underrated character with the most interesting power, in my opinion. They've kind of made her more sympathetic here than in the comic, which I regret, but I guess that's the case for all the siblings and it allows more character development.

[@deannajohn1209]

Clairembify shouldn’t she be the most powerful because in the comics she could alter reality which kinda trumps Vanya’s

[@Clairembify]

@@deannajohn1209 Yeah, we'll have to see if that one pivotal event from Dallas happens in S2 (I hope it does): it would really show how devastating her power can be. The show hasn't delved into it that much aside from singular occasions/interpersonal relationships.

[@deannajohn1209]

Clairembify i feel like they nerfed Allison’s powers (at least for now) to make Vanya’s story more impactful since she went from being the most basic and ordinary to extraordinary and the most powerful. If Allison had her true powers that would demean all of that

[@Clairembify]

@@deannajohn1209 Yes that's fair. I thought Vanya's descent into being the BBEG (well not really, but yknow) was well-done, but if the true extent of Allison's abilities aren't ever showcased I'll be disappointed. It's an overwhelming power for someone to possess, it doesn't just make manipulating others easier, and you can really see how that'd shape a personality in messed-up ways.

[@Umbra2079]

She's legitimately the biggest asshole in this season. She finds out what she has done to Vanya, and what does she do with that information? SHE TRIES TO DO IT AGAIN. Unbelievable.

[@thatkidAtrayne]

i'm in love with the actress who plays mom. just beautiful.

[@AlessaParker]

Speaking about how the mom really did act like their mom, it was she who gave the kids actual names instead of just numbers Edit: nvm I was mistaken about Five. Dunno how I got that idea

[@draedpan]

Five was there when the names were given but he prefers Five

[@Kiraj8de]

At least in the show, the others already had names before he jumped to the future. He yelled out for Vanya and Ben I believe when he saw the Academy destroyed in the future.

[@benji0099]

They used their names during the bank scene and Five was there...so don't think that's true.

[@mattakubodimasen10]

[@sicarius8900]

I kind of see the point that Shane and Aaron are making, but I think there's a difference between the kind of parental/social coercion that you can acceptably exercise (scolding your kid, lecturing them, talking to them, arguing with them, sometimes physically preventing them or making them do things, creating incentives and disincentives for particular behaviours etc) and like literally brainwashing them and turning them into a machine that has no free will. Like in some abstract you can argue that kids don't have free will because they're controlled by their parents, but they still do, just within the confines of being a child (like if that is not free will, then nobody alive has free will because we're all operating within the constraints of some system). Parents have a lot of responsibility over their children, but children aren't the property of their parents, they're individuals with rights (morally speaking) and personality and will, it a'int OK to just railroad over those things fundamental to human existence just cuz you're stressed out dealing with em.

[@Scott-ql2kx]

Shane is legitimately stupid and self-centered, but I definitely expected better from Aaron. How the fuck are you supposed to raise a well-adjusted child when that child knows you'll brainwash them whenever they disobey you? How is that child supposed to believe anything positive about your relationship?

[@michaelsalmon1734]

i think they get that they are more curious what she made them do because all we know is she stopped her screaming they all know its wrong they are just asking what would be okay within reason

[@jojo_n_dat7325]

@@Scott-ql2kx There's nothing to suggest that the child knows that it was brainwashed. You're making an assumption which Shane & Aaron accounted for. They said dependent on the extent and how the power worked would they then decide if they would use it. It's a fair position. You might be able to say, "I heard a rumour that you forgot the previous rumour I told you" then the child would be un brainwashed. We don't know the extent of these powers, so stop arguing in bad faith.

[@TheManOnTheStreetOMG]

@@Scott-ql2kx Yikes, theres no need to bash Shane over a TV show. Shane and Aaron are also the ones who actually have kids.

[@TheManOnTheStreetOMG]

@Unincognito You both called him stupid, kinda harsh considering how trivial this all is. I'd love to see people say these things to his face. Having kids means he's actually experienced the trials of parenthood, so yeah I think thats a pretty important perspective to have.

[@charleyMD17]

I think Allison's power is very interesting because it would be so tempting to use and likely abuse at some point. Allison was wrong to use it on her child but I can also see how she could rationalize it to herself in thinking that she was doing the right thing with a "I heard a rumor you ate your vegetables" or a "I heard a rumor you did your homework".

[@julieL7773]

I'm not familiar with the comics but is it really her saying "I heard a rumor such and such..." or does she simply have the power of suggestion/influence and used those words that time?

Luther is way weaker than he was as a child. Child Luther effortlessly threw a grown man 50 feet through a window. Adult Luther can barely lift Hazel. I get that Hazel is probably bigger than the guy he threw but I can't imagine he's more than 100lbs heavier. Maybe as a child he would only have been able to throw him 25 feet, but to not be able to lift him at all means he is Drastically weaker than he was

[@SkidmoreTx]

The Mom scenes are my favorite especially the flashback

[@maeahem]

Allison took away her daughter’s free will. There’s no two ways about it. Her power doesn’t always work exactly and we don’t know how it messes people’s minds. Also, when you start it’s easy to abuse it and start making excuses to use it for more things. Spanking was also abused by a lot of parents and that’s why it’s not encouraged anymore. Ps: She used the power to the extent there was a court order against her.

[@StupidWeb]

Exactly. We know it's not a one-time thing. She told someone to let her in a movie, and through the WHOLE process he still "wanted" to have her in the movie, so it's clearly a lasting thing

[@jojo_n_dat7325]

Loool, the overwhelming majority of people who had that power would use it to the same effect. I understand completely and empathise because i'm sure I would make the same decision. She's overly remorseful so i'm not going to berate her for her actions.

[@jojo_n_dat7325]

@@Scott-ql2kx I think the majority of people who had that power would've used it in high stress scenarios like she did. It's hard to fathom how you would've developed with such a power, you would probably be a completely different person and would be dependent on that power. I empathise with her a lot and if I hadn't watched this show, would've used that power on my children in situations like she did. I'm just being honest.

[@deannajohn1209]

Scott nooo. Im sorry but your just wrong. Jojo’s right, lets be realistic, if the majority of people had this power they would use it (u have to much faith in humanity lol). Simliar to spanking and how popular that was, even though did die out.

[@Skyblaze77]

@@deannajohn1209 I don't even think it's a matter of having faith in humanity. Like, I guarantee any parent who's experienced a child's full-on temper tantrum would be incredibly tempted to use it. Sure, it's completely unacceptable under any circumstances but honestly, from watching my parents raise my baby brother - raising a kid can sometimes be fucking painful, so, really, who wouldn't be tempted?

[@africanqueen5884]

A lot of people would make the same mistake Allison did and perhaps even make worse decisions with that power she regrets what she did and we see that she doesn’t even feel comfortable using her powers anymore

[@EyeOnSciFiPod]

I really enjoyed this show. My only main issue with this episode is, why didn't the mansion have ANY kind of defense system? Hell, even an alarm system? That just never made sense to me. I'm sure the family had enemies from their days as superheroes and their HQ is very conspicuous. Other than that, great episode of a great series.

[@OneNightStark]

Allison is an interesting case in a lot of ways, but her use of her powers was definitely the least justifiable. Luther and Diego were both trying to keep doing the hero thing (Luther believing he was the early warning/defense against an invasion, Diego just stabbing home invaders), Klaus was just trying to hide from his, and Five learned his lesson about messing around and was just bidding time until could stop the end of the world. Allison? She was making sure she got what she wanted. Punishing your kid is one thing because they are still able to disobey. They have that option, you're just making it the less desirable one so it's not WORTH it to disobey. Allison removed the choice altogether. Whatever she says is true, no matter what. I don't know if they're going to make it as powerful as they do in the comics, where whatever she said could literally bend reality and cause physical manifestations to make itself true, but even in the show it's brainwashing and gives her total control over people as long as she can get the words out.

[@crystalwang1532]

Allison never had to work for anything in her life because of her power, rumoring people is the only way she knows how to deal with problems and it’s not like she had the best parental role models. Mom had seven kids to deal with and Reginald made sure a toe out of line meant severe abuse and punishment.

[@Stannard1603]

*SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED SEASON 1* *I'M WARNING YOU* it's scary how accurate Aaron was with his theory

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

i think the book did do well, it just didn't live long. it probably won't get a reprint, basically

[@TimWuzHyaProductions]

The argument for Aaron disciplining his kid vs. Allison using her power on her i feel can be summed up by a quote, appropriately enough given by Ellen Page, in X-Men: The Last Stand: "...Einstein said that ethics are an exclusive human concern, without any superhuman authority behind it."

[@bmoore1908]

I side with them that if it just for small stuff like going to bed and not eating junk food it’s not toxic to use the power. I understand what they mean about children don’t really have full autonomy over their bodies or lives until a certain age, their parent control a large portion of their lives. I get y’all think they have free will to object but honestly not all kids do even without the power you get yelled at, smacked, put in time out all for things your parents don’t want you to do and even told to stop crying sometimes. So do we actually have free will as children or do we just say they do because we believe all people are automatically born with it. Let’s be honest a lot of people’s lives would be different depending on the parents because they set the parameters for you early life.

[@joeybres5158]

So I'm just here because there are no comments sections on netflix but I'm really annoyed and feel like ranting. Playing music IS NOT ABOUT TALENT. Practice is what makes the performer. People only say other people are more talented than them because they don't want to put in the amount of effort it actually takes to get good. The most famous performers around the world aren't the ones with the most talent, they are the ones with the strongest work ethic.

[@Saje3D]

There are still levels of talent. Not every performer is a songwriter or composer and not every musician has the ability to be. Some people can pick up and play a song by ear. Some people can’t. Just like not every writer becomes Mark Twain just by virtue of writing a great deal. Practice doesn’t always make perfect. Ability and inclination have a lot to do with as well. Not everyone who thinks they’re funny actually are. You can work to be funny, but some folks have natural timing and a talent for making people laugh. But, yes, without the hard work to go with it, talent is mostly useless. It can point you in a direction and occasionally ease the journey, but you still have to cross the distance yourself.

Her kid doesn't deserve to be separated from her but I could see why the Dad was so upset, counseling is definitely a great idea. Also, I think Allison's upbringing has a lot to do with it, she wasn't exactly taught morality while using her powers. Parents teach you limits and right from wrong, their Dad didn't do that. Bet if any of her brothers & sisters had a kid they would screw up too.

@eric gonzalo Nooo.... She was using her power for her own benefit it was not to save here kid. Using the power to save a life is completely different from using it to tell your kid to.stop crying or go to bed.

[@jojo_n_dat7325]

@eric gonzalo You're correct, a lot of people are moving the goal posts. Since it's wrong to take away someone's freewill, she shouldn't use the ability AT ALL. But it's incredible difficult to justify why she shouldn't take away her daughter's free will in order to save her child's life. They can't have it both ways. If I had that power, I would probably use it the same way if i'm being honest.

[@victoria1247]

eric gonzalo ok but start talking about what happened in the show because that’s what everyone else is talking about. Not the bullshit you’re making up under every comment of the subject matter to try and prove a point. Because you’re not you’re just being annoying.

[@jojo_n_dat7325]

@@victoria1247 Loool, actually his argument is fantastic. If your premise to why what she did was wrong was because she took away the free will of the child, that would suggest that you would never use the power no matter the circumstances. I believe that the majority of people would use that power at the very least to save their child's life. I also think that that is morally right. I think taking away the free will of your child to save their life is morally right. I would then not go onto argue that the woman in the show is wrong BECAUSE of free will. The idea that she's wrong for using it is fine, the reasoning is wrong. It goes beyond free will and has to account for the severity and extent to which she used her power. We have to establish some sort of baseline to decide when we should and shouldn't use this power as parental figures. If your child says i'm going out to steal some money or something else, do you use your power to stop them? Can you use the logic that they could've gotten themselves shot by the police if they got caught to justify your actions? Or is the fact that they were going to do something morally wrong enough to use the power to stop them? These are interesting questions to ponder. I think it is more relative than we like to think. The way the woman in the show used the power doesn't bother me that much if i'm honest but I can see how it would bother others. Those "others" should think about why it's wrong beyond " Free Will" because unless they're willing to take away their child's free will for any reason, they would be hypocrites.

[@victoria1247]

eric gonzalo no I get your point, you just don’t seem to be getting anyone else’s. When they say it’s ethically wrong you jump to an unnecessary extreme like suicide to try and prove your point. And like I said previously every comment on the SUBJECT MATTER (Allison brainwashing her child). You seemed to ignore that part in favor of trying to be right. If only I could be as powerful and cool as a witch. Also close minded? Because I find you bringing up bullshit from left field for no reason and called you out for spamming people’s comments on the subject matter annoying? In this comment it’s “the point of the discussion is to know if using her power on her child is really ethically wrong” but a few comments ago it’s “ (im not talking about what she did in the show)”. So if you could please decide your stance on the subject instead of flipping when you feel like it the conversation would go a lot smoother.

[@TheGodfather-bm3ow]

There is a difference between punishment and taking away a child's free will. They can still take a cookie after getting the belt.

[@Umbra2079]

I still don't understand why Diego turned their mom off. Why did he do that?

[@AD-zp4pd]

I see both sides of what blind wave is saying. If your child is so so sooo young that you can’t explain, ration or comfort your child about why you should or shouldn’t do things than I understand. But as we see in the later episodes the daughter is too old, to where it’s the point that it’s creepy, she’s at the age where you could parent your child, and instead you are taking their will away and not teaching the kid anything

[@Dannydarko27]

This show is so good

[@God_3712]

LMAO "what does he make?" "Fake eyes?" This made me laugh so hard Also the resentment thing sounds a bit like Ella Enchanted and Ella knew she had to obey but she also was in control of her mind but I think with Allison's power they just don't remember they would be like why did I do that?

[@nEthing4Her]

Holy shit Aaron. Amazing.

[@mowglisavonturen]

[@nxrth9463]

How aaron.....How?!

[@snootchiebootchies5217]

This is my favorite show on netflix. And my favorite show on hulu is future man. Would love for them to react to future man they would love it.

[@jojo_n_dat7325]

Future man is such a fun show. S1 was better than S2 though. When's S3 comin out btw?

[@snootchiebootchies5217]

@@jojo_n_dat7325 season 3 is the final season they said. They also said it will be out this year. Don't know what month its coming out tho

[@gracecotton6411]

One of your theories 👀

[@spaceartiste2496]

This is way late, but regarding the argument on whether Allison using her power on her daughter is fair or not, there is a definite difference between punishing a kid to stop them from doing something, and mind-controlling them into not doing it. Yes, having the punishment seems like forcing the child, but the point is that they still have the choice to disobey. The punishment is not a removal of choice, it is an addition of consequence. When a child has recieved a punishment or a threat of punishment, they need to learn to weigh the options. Is the act worth the punishment? If you mind-control the child, you are actually removing the child's free will. The child will never get to grow as their own person and form their own values, and they will never learn to accept the consequences of their actions, because you have taken away their ability to make choices which have consequences. You always have the option to say no. There may be horrible consequences to doing so, but you always have the option to take those consequences. If that choice is removed, you're nothing more than a puppet to the person who removed that choice.

Watch the Harley Quinn animation it's very good

[@nonyabiz8726]

soooooo good

[@HyperWolf]

Dude, yes! That would be awesome. The show is way better than anything I expected.

[@kitsulu8576]

More, more, more... LOVE their reactions to this show, I hate having to wait a week 😧 😅 I'm impatient.

[@mowmitabarua6550]

React on Dark

[@Sjsjsnsnsusu]

I want Alison’s power so fricken bad

[@kcuwu]

11:40 , he literally got it right-

[@oscarthematerialgworl7496]

if your kid(s) is dying earlier than you and on their death bed and was scared would you use it and say "i heard a rumor it's okay." ? If your kid was having sex "always use protection unless you want kids" ? Obviously you'd want to use it to save your kids lives...so safe sex? no drugs? no alcohol? Free will is a nice concept but truth is when you live with your parents as a kid there is no free will it's called do as you're told. Always. Not trying to justify it. I just think if anyone had this power you'd use it atleast once. It's basically mind control. Always a temptation. Especially a temptation when you want the best for your kids and family.

[@faizmehdi9321]

Someone please tell me the name of that bgm when Grace is looking after all the kids in the flashback.

[@gntyh]

More proof that aaron watches these shows beforehand 11:40 🤫

[@purgatory2196]

AARON!!!!!

[@ameliam7292]

Tbh, I think if I was in Allison’s situation, I’d probably do the same. Not to a huge extent. Like I heard a rumour you were good at maths. Or I heard a rumour you were tired (link to episode 8). But I wouldn’t go too bad like you lot said. I heard a rumour you think you’re just ordinary. But the real question is, does Claire have superhuman powers? Are their powers genetic?

[@001100AAAEA]

I think Allison only used her powers on her kids once.

[@AlecArtComics]

BRUH THESE THEORIES! lol!

[@azalea9]

Imagine if you're a kid... barely learning and comprehending and knowing the world... and then someone takes that away from you. That's wrong... Allison shouldn't have custody of her child because it stops the child's natural development...

[@lainwakura]

why is there no full length of the episodes after episode 1?

[@maraudentium2607]

They always do the first episode of the season free, but after that you have to be a Patreon.

[@andifebrianto5258]

THE RAID 2 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ellaturk]

If I ever had alisons power I would do something pointless-

[@kameronrobison4982]

The reason why hairier men seem to be naturally stronger is because both are tied to testosterone.
