My most memorable moment of Wizards of Waverly Place is when Max lied about being blind to the colour orange so he wouldn't have to take part in sports at school (since the balls are orange) but then a teacher went around their house to talk to the parents about it (I'm pretty sure he had convinced their dad or something to go along with it) and the teacher saw the orange sofas and the dad was like, "Yeah, it's really unfortunate."

It really is a great show and this is coming from an adult man. Rewatching the show from an adult perspective made me realize what an amazingly well written character Alex Russo is.

[@SeamusGorman4]

i’ve been if watching a few episodes here and there recently AND IT HOLDS UP

[@AuraKumo104]

Honestly I still watch Wizards as an adult and it's actually good even if it is targeted at kids. Alex Russo is a very well written character with a lot of depth and she goes through lasting character development throughout the show. I have actually written a character analysis about the main character. Looking at the things she says and does from an adult an adult perspective gives you a lot more insight into who she is and it allows you to understand the brilliant writing behind the character better. On the surface people think she is mean, selfish, lazy, unintelligent, rude, and bratty but their perceptions of who she is are completely wrong. At times she can make selfish decisions but they are never intentionally selfish. What people see as her being rude or mean spirited is just her being honest and being able to see people's real flaws behind the masks they wear. Her distant and over confident attitude is just a wall she puts up to hide her insecurities. She pretends to be 'bad' when she is just lying to herself because inside she's a selfless person with a heart of gold. In general her sarcastic comments and overall witty persona is a defense mechanism that she uses to prevent herself from getting hurt. Alex Russo cares about her loved ones very deeply and has shown countless times she is willing to do anything to help them, even risk her own life. Wizards is a show about interesting magical adventures but it is also about Alex Russo's journey from a seemingly immature and selfish teenage girl to a young woman who is an unexpected hero. I am working towards becoming a writer for video games so analyzing shows with great characters like Alex Russo is a bit of a hobby of mine. Plus this was my favorite show as a younger teen growing up.

[@clairemaddison8386]

@@AuraKumo104 I really like what you said. I also feel like because Alex was so sarcastic and not perfect makes her so much more relatable. Most of Disney channel shows have a super smart genius kid, or a super dumb kid. Alex is not dumb or extraordinarily smart which makes her so much more relatable.

WOWP is my favorite Disney Channel show ever. The first couple of seasons did follow the Disney sitcom model for the most part, but later seasons really made the show something unique with all of the dramatic elements, longer story arcs, and once they dug into the lore of the magic world and stopped using magic as set dressing. Alex Russo as a character is so unlike the other Disney main characters, her flaws are a focus of the show and she demonstrates tremendous yet believable character development. Watching it as an adult, it's actually really cool to see how much the writers clearly cared and made the effort. I think it's one of the few Disney shows that got better with each season.

[@akrzton1]

Yes, and these are the seasons that we all know and love! The early seasons did have more ballads, but also more uptempo, Latin tunes in the later seasons. Does this remind anyone of a certain boy band that comes to mind?

Everytime I've seen this movie I cant help but ask how did the family wizard competition go from being the dangerous and intense event that is regarded as a deeply respected tradition we see take place here to becoming a literal gameshow by the finale.

[@M.M.Y.B]

The one in this movie is probably the predecessor of the game show version. You can see the similarities by way of the final challenge in the game show where it is a battle of applicable magic. The one in this movie is also an emergency one, where they have to determine the family wizard or else.

[@tokyodeathghoul2313]

Alex wins the wizard competition in the series but Justin keeps his powers as he replaces Professor Crumbs

[@AuraKumo104]

Yes, this is actually correct. I think he was confused because at first Alex was about to cross the finish line and win but went back to help Justin who was stuck in a tree root. After Justin was freed, Alex let him cross the finish line first at the end. Justin was about to be declared the winner but he felt bad for becoming the family wizard when it was Alex who rightfully won. He told professor Crumbs the truth and Alex was decided to be the true winner of the wizard competition. So technically Justin 'won' the wizard competition at first but only because Alex let him.

[@AuraKumo104]

@@akrzton1 I don't know what that other show is but a Wizard's reboot might not be a good idea. Every single reboot we have gotten so far wasn't nearly as good as the original and is written more to appeal to the new generation of children rather than the adult fans who watch the shows in the past. That means Wizards might be targeted at even younger kids than the original show like Raven's Home or Girl Meets World. Reboots tend to make the shows even more child friendly than the originals and they often focus on new characters, most often they are the original main character's kids. Even the best reboot, the new ICarly, is dragged down by it trying to appeal to the current generation of kids and it added a really obnoxious child main character with no respect for the original adult characters. Disney also refuses to allow creators to make their reboots targeted at an older audience. Disney canceled the Lizzy Mcguire reboot because they wouldn't let the creator of the show give it a TV-14 rating and target the show at the adult fans who liked the original when they were kids.

She was mad that he gave the powers to kelbo who was obviously unfit. I think the whole system wasnt fair.

In the show Alex won the family wizard competition, not Justin lol

Great video seamus and vegard... Wait what video am i talking about?

[@itscookielookie]

Wizards of Waverly place was such a good show, this is one of my favorite movies to come from a tv show!

[@leahdavis9434]

I think you'd like Avalon High, it happened right during my obsession with King Arthur

[@meaganhanson8054]

He should watch Julie and the phantoms, it’s not Disney, but it’s Kenny Ortega so close enough

[@MariChambers]

Can you rewatch Wizards of Waverly Place and make a retrospective? Or maybe review season by season?

[@clarascats1365]

Yess

While I do enjoy being a fly on the wall while Seamus watches a movie with a friend... I really miss your genius theories and especially all the Harry Potterness. Could you bring that back, please? :)

Petition to make Seamus the new nostalgia critic

Can we also talk about how different this wizard competition is to the end one at the end of the show

It’s one of my top 🔝 5 picks for old dc shows

This was ngl one of the best if not the best disney channel original movies and WOWP was epic!

I remember feeling so cool as a kid because I had the same sunglasses as Alex had in the movie
