the running “joke” of playing pirates is like actually disgusting and i can’t believe they would include a sexual harassment joke in a kids show

Trina was called a lot of things in the show but ugly was not one of them. It was always heavily implied she was disliked because of her crazy personality and huge ego, not because she was physically unattractive.

[@augustinensang3109]

I never thought she was terribly unattractive in the show but I thought her personality was VERY unpleasant.

I AGREE! people keep saying that Trina was the ugly one but the whole point of her character was that she is arrogant and doesn't get along with people

But then there was that kid in the Kesha episode who wanted to kiss all the girls but her. But then it was weird for her to offer anyway lol

[@xxxmaysilssss690]

There were definitely a lot of context clues that showed how even strangers didn’t like Trina because she was physically unattractive to them. I think that stemmed from her being mid sized while all the other women in the show were extremely skinny. In “Wi-Fi in the sky”, Trina moves in front of Tori’s camera and her butt is the centre of the screen. From the guy’s disgusted reactions, I think the joke was supposed to be “she’s so fat that her butt takes up the entire screen”. Also in the Kesha episode, the kid wanted to kiss all three girls aside from Trina. There’s probably more examples, but I think there were moments that inferred how unattractive Trina was due to her weight ig, which checks out for the beauty standards at the time

Hell no. There was no romantic chemistry between them, only a very strong friendship and that's okay. There was romantic chemistry between Andre and Jade though. I feel like Andre would make a good partner for Jade even though he's scared of her like everyone else is, like Beck he's strong enough to handle her. He comes from a bit of a difficult home life like she does so he can understand a lot of her pain. He can call her out on her crap and keep her in check but he will also be completely loyal to her and never so anything to make her insecure or ACTIVELY FEED her jealousy unlike Beck.

[@Zpanda1000]

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Trina/Beck. Beck says he likes girls who give him a challenge and she definitely would. His teasing of her in a few episodes seemed pretty lighthearted and never upset Trina. And she's vain enough where she'd love seeing other girls be jealous of her getting to date him. While she'd probably be just as jealous as Jade, I feel like she would be way more upfront and outspoken about it. And I think Trina's loud, over the top personality would mesh well with Beck's relaxed, passive attitude

[@amberwasatomic]

Right! I think on the other side of that Trina doesn't get a lot of support from her family, and Beck is great at supporting his friends so that stability would help her let some of her guard down. Trina is also great at martial arts and stunts and Beck likes making movies and they could be really good together

Andre works with the most people because his vibe just harmonized with the most personalities. He just seemed to bring the best out of people. When he had a crush on Jade I was skeptical till I saw them interacting. Jade just felt at ease with him and more vulnerable. I just feel like she wouldn't be as uptight and insecure with Andre, the only downside is their relationship would be devoid of real conflict and thus boring.

For Tori/Beck/Jade ship, I can understand why the show didn't go that route since poly relationships aren't really seen in a positive light, especially on a show targeted towards kids. As for the Andre ships... Yeah, Dan Schneider isn't really well known for giving his black characters more character development then what he's written for them, and what's written for them are usually harmful stereotypes. Andre is definitely one of Schneider's best written black characters( The only other one in my opinion is Charlotte from Henry Danger) but he's definitely gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to his relationships.

Hi here is my rant for why Andre fell in love with Jade for that episode and how it could have made a lot more sense if they had done it right. Everyone in the group in some way had this belief that Jade was scary and overdramatic, while so of that is of her own volition her and Beck's relationship was not the healthiest. So, when Andre is scared to work with her alone and then realizes that she is a completely normal and chill person sometimes, he falls in love with that part of her. I actually think that they could have done better with this storyline and kept it because they clearly wanted to make Beck and Tori a thing anyway. If they allowed for a slower development and a lot of communication, Andre would have been a great choice after the relationship with Beck especially since Beck and Jade could have worked out as friends but they needed way more growth in my opinion.

Beck many times actively gave reasons for Jade to be jealous, the episode where he takes many girls on his car, like how would any girlfriend react to that???However jade was very aggressive and could get very possessive. The episode where they break up, and Beck gets frustrated that the girl he was with, puts him on a pedestal and agrees with everything he says, truth to it, beck loves how much Jade challenges him, and how she doesn’t put him on a pedestal and actively calls him out when she disagrees with him and beck likes that.

[@moiii_01]

Exactlyyy! That's why I'd always say Saddie will always be worse than Bade. Because at least Beck equals Jade with his own toxicity unlike poor Freddie who was made dumb and Sam continued beating and demeaning him even while he tried to date her!🤦🏽‍♀️

[@sams_not_here]

i totally ship: jade & tori i feel that they would be so cute, i can see it. the whole enemies to lovers troupe but also just the fact that they are opposites. i feel like jade would help tori step out of her comfort zone and that tori could help jade be more confident in herself and not to expect the worse. i feel that jade sometimes thinks that someones going to hurt her which is why she reacts the way she does. robbie & beck idk why but i do. i so agree with what you said about robbie & beck. i feel like he would help robbie be more confident and that robbie could help beck be less of a jerk at times. i think they would compliment each other well.

I do agree that since jade knows about the pirate game she probably would unironically kill Robbie, but I think it’s possible too that cat might’ve repressed what happened or doesn’t know how to articulate what happened. I am a victim of sexual assault, and I repressed most of the trauma so the perpetrator was able to get away with it and stayed friends with them until I broke. Idk hearing her scream no and say “put it away I don’t want to see that thing again” makes me feel like it’s not an innocent game like some people think. Also we gotta remember this is Dan I like children’s feet Schneider

[@kait.5437]

I disagree with Beck and Jade not changing at all… Jade sure, but I think a change happened in Beck in that episode where he realized he likes that Jade is argumentative and stands her ground. So the problem he had with her isn’t really there anymore. He might have even come to realize he likes arguing with her to some degree. More like it’s toxic but it works for them imo Also I like the whole thing where Beck can’t be frightened and then in Jade’s song there’s a line about not being able to scare the guy she’s singing about (you’re not afraid of me and I can’t convince you)

[@BabyGirlTiny]

No the only problem is still there, he just doesn’t know what a healthy relationship is. Because there was no balance, he went back to the toxicity with Jade because it’s more fun than someone who always agrees with him. Which goes against the entire point they broke up. He didn’t change, he just realized that it’s more fun to be toxic

Beck and Jade, in my opinion, from the first episode have been at that “I love you but I don’t like you” stage and neither of them can tell the difference.

[@dancingsun2]

As a kid I went along with the Cat and Robbie ship and bounce between Beck/Jade and Beck/Tori....but as I got older, and even now, the only ship I truly cared about was Tori and Andre. I'm a sucker for best friends to lovers trope, and those two had such great chemistry and such a great friendship that I thought they'd be great together romantically if it were to ever happen. Only thing about this ship is I'd want the show to either fully commit to it (have a whole arc, bring them together, and have them stay together) or never even acknowledge it (like they actually do), because they are great as friends AND as a ship, but if it was teased too much as a ship but never created to last the friendship part would be ruined. Anyways, Tori and Andre ended up together just before graduating in my headcanon.

[@stxriesunfold]

Why won't the show just let Trina be happy. Imo Trina was a very insecure character so she overcompensates, she never got any development, which is sad. Like could you imagine if the show didn't do her so dirty and actually let her grow as a character? Maybe, she let go of her ego and focused on something she's actually good at. They call her untalented a lot, but only because she couldn't sing. She quite clearly had a love for acting and theatre, so they could've had an episode where she realises that musical theatre isn't for her, so she just starred in plays rather than musicals. They never gave her any friends either... Like it's actually really sad

[@mysticknight1494]

i fr will never understand how they would call her untalented and then showcase time and again that she wasnt. she was canonically a really talented athlete with amazing physical strength which was a talent that set her apart from the rest of the cast. if she was allowed even a second of character development she couldve been cool

Somehow Beck and Jade feel worst then Seddie. Probably because Seddie didn’t last too long and Jade and Beck stay breaking up and getting back toget her for whatever reason that exists.

It’s almost as stupid as the fans who hate and critics Tori over every bad thing she’s done yet defend Jade’s own actions that are worst. And even stupider? Tori literally turns him down despite her having ZERO reason to do so. It speaks volumes to her development yeah but she didn’t owe Jade a single thing at that point.

Unfortunately the reason Beck had to stay with Jade in the show is because it was the only thing interesting about his character. I think the writers planned on originally having Tori and Beck end up together tbh. And then at some point they decided never to do it - probably because it would’ve been too predictable and a little cliché. so instead they played with the scenario and dangled it in front of fans that wanted it & dragged out a toxic relationship through most of the show because the other half of fans liked it. I don’t like either ship and I think it’s because in this show the characters can’t grow too much - so Jade is stagnant, she will always be toxic/insecure/a bully. And Beck, they just wrote his character terribly. I don’t think the writers wanted his character to be interpreted as the bad guy. But his actions and carelessness made him seem narcissistic and manipulative. almost like he kept Tori close to mess with Jade.

[@notdestini]

Honestly I remember a lot of people gunning for Jade and Beck when the show was out (I figured that was why they kept going back to it despite the obvious setup for a Tori/Beck thing at the beginning) and I think that’s because in a better written show with better developed characters, ‘rough around the edges girl who pushes away risks for vulnerability and her chill sweet boyfriend who gets her and accepts her fully’ is what they would’ve been and that’s a cute dynamic. They could’ve been this cute couple who looks mismatched from the outside but make sense once you get closer because Beck is more unhinged than he looks and likes girls who are a little weird or contrarian (in this alternate better show reality that would be established in a healthy way and not some weird addiction to toxicity for the thrill of arguing because healthy relationships are ‘boring’) and Jade is softer than she looks and Beck is someone who makes space for that while also understanding and not being scared of the sharper and stranger parts of her personality. Like I’m not gonna get too fired up about this Nickelodeon show from my childhood but their relationship type could’ve been so cute and healthy and I feel like we were ROBBED

[@truthseeker9249]

This is just giving me ideas for a Victorious Reboot. This will be all over the place so just be patient with me. But these are some parts of what I think would make for a great reboot. First of all we would be seeing the whole gang reuniting with each other at Hollywood Arts 10 years after where we left off when Victorious ended. Beck and Jade: We see the two of them hardly standing next to each other or even looking at each other. They still are constantly getting snippy with each other and making everyone else uncomfortable but it's not a full on screaming match like what we're used to with Beck and Jade. It's just awkward occasional little jabs at one another. Why? Because Beck and Jade are EX husband and wife. After the last time they got back together on Victorious, Beck and Jade made it all the way through high school together and maybe even all the way through college too (IF either or both of them even went to college). Their relationship never changed, they were still toxic af with each other. And at some point or another after high school (or college) they got MARRIED. Beck proposed to Jade and they got married thinking that taking that big step and making that commitment to each other would fix everything in their relationship, make everything better. But no. It only made everything worse. They were fighting even more about every little thing. Jade's toxic argumentative nature and Beck's apathy for Jade's feelings and determination to let other women be all over him were driving them apart just like before. But then Beck CHEATED (Beck never technically cheats on Jade in the show but it's clear that he's the cheating type and it's not that far off to assume he would do it in their marriage). He had a one night stand with another woman or even had an ongoing affair with another woman and Jade of course found out. Their relationship was already in shambles but Beck's infidelity was the nail in the coffin and they got a divorce. Luckily they have no children so everything goes by quickly and they cut contact. This reunion is the first time they've seen each other in years since they split. There's still animosity between them but whenever Jade's back is turned sometimes Beck is seen glancing at her every now and then. Andre: Andre is living the high life. After everything he accomplished at Hollywood Arts he was getting flooded with offers from everywhere in the music industry. So as soon as he graduated, he signed with a record label and ran off into the sunset to make his dreams come true. He's the leader of his own band and performing all over the country, he's writing and producing his own music and even writing and producing for other artists as well. He felt incredibly guilty about leaving his Grandma to go off on his own for music but he was using the money he earned from his success to make sure she was all taken care of in his absence even though she still calls him all the time driving him crazy. Andre is living the perfect life as he got everything he ever wanted. Tori: She went down a different path than Andre. With all that SHE accomplished at Hollywood Arts (especially performing at the Platinum Awards, that performance put her on the MAP), she was also getting flooded with offers from music labels, a lot of them wanted for her and Andre to come work for them TOGETHER as a TEAM because of how amazing they are together musically. But colleges were also trying to recruit Tori as well. The thing with Tori is that her entire journey throughout Victorious was her slowly gaining more confidence. Coming into her own as a performer and believing in herself to become the star she was always meant to be. But as much as she wanted to be famous and as happy as she would be to do it with her best friend...she couldn't do it. She realized that she still had a long way to go and she just wasn't ready for that life right now. So she chose to accept the offer for a full music scholarship to the college she liked the best. And if she really wanted to be famous down the line, fame wasn't going anywhere and it would be waiting for her as soon as she finished her education and got a little more experience. As she went through college she continued to perform small gigs like at weddings or at restaurants, etc. But all the while maintained her friendship with Andre despite the distance between them as he traveled all over America singing for adoring crowds. And every time he came back to town to perform he would always be sure to invite Tori to come on stage with him and his band as a guest so they could sing together like old times. When we see her at this reunion she and Andre excitedly catch up. Since she's graduated college she's now trying to find her footing on becoming a famous singer because she finally feels ready. But she of course can't seem to find her big break. She is by no means a loser. She's done a lot with her life since she graduated high school but she certainly feels like a loser because of how she's struggling. It almost makes her regret not choosing to take those offers to sign onto a label fresh out of high school like Andre did. She can't help but wonder what if. Tori and Jade: Despite still having the same love-hate relationship as before they actually start talking during this reunion. Maybe even meeting up alone after the big get together to grab a drink. After emotional walls are broken down a bit by alcohol, they start opening up to each other on their hardships. Tori feeling bad for Jade with what Beck did to her and even apologizing for kissing him on her first day of school all those years ago. Something Jade never could have possibly expected. Tori expresses how she never truly believed Jade was a bad person, how she could always see right through her negativity and always knew she was a softie. She tells Jade she deserved better than Beck. Jade is taken aback by all of this but then returns the favor by reminding Tori of how she took Hollywood Arts by storm from the very beginning. Talking about some of Tori's most iconic moments performance-wise on Victorious. Expressing her long time jealousy of Tori for how she was always the whole package. She was talented, but she was also a kind-hearted person that everyone respected. So she kind of had it easy with making it as a performer because after all, part of being a performer is getting people to LIKE you which is not Jade's strong suit. She tells Tori that if she could do so many amazing things as a scared girl with no idea what she was doing back then, she definitely shouldn't give up now. They share a small awkward smile. A switch flips and they start to connect with each other in a way they never had before.... 😳😳 And cut! 🎬 This is all I can think of for now but if anyone thinks this is good stuff and can maybe fill in some blanks for me let me know.

[@_Juliette_00]

You made some great points! My opinions about some of the ships if anyone cares: - Cat and Robbie were my guilty pleasure but it's always been more like "I would love them together if Robbie was less of a creep", especially the pirate thing is hard to ignore and the only reason I still enjoyed them at times is that I could interpret it differently. Same with Jade wanting to bury Tori. I tried to pretend it was a dumb joke because otherwise she should be seen as a villain - I have mixed feelings about Jade & Tori because they have a great chemistry, I'd be interested to see them getting together and wouldn't mind it but as with Cat and Robbie, it's hard to forget about that joke. Stealing Tori's blood might be a bit too much as well. Either way, them always getting back to normal after reconciling was annoying, I know it's a tweens show but it doesn't mean that characters can't make any progress - Tori and Andre would be my favourite couple if the creators decided to make them a thing, I can't help but love the friends to lovers trope and their friendship was so wholesome. That being said, I like them being platonic besties too. There's a lot of wasted potential but I still like these three ships (plus Robbie x Beck and Tori x Beck) better than Creddie and Seddie, Sam was too violent and Creddie felt forced. I only liked Creddie in the revival series

I'm so glad that you arent biased towards Victorious and gave an honest and blunt review of the ships! I would also argue that the show Victorious was not as well written compared to some of Dan's other sitcoms. IMO what makes the show stand out by itself would be the characters that are played by the actors/actresses. The dialogue of the show isnt enough for the show to hold on its own. Its heavily dependent on the characters which I think that's telling. As you had stated yourself, a lot of the problems that go down between the ships make little to no sense and the show teases at hinting other ships and its dependent on the chemistry of the characters. It makes it difficult for the viewers like myself to follow through with the intentions of where the show is going when the storyline-character chemistry doesn't match. I really liked this video!

[@jessicaa.8471]

For the Jade and Tori episode, or even all the episodes with relationships, the episodes were backwards. For example, the date episode with Jade and Tori could've happened in the earlier season where Jade held a grudge for Tori's kiss with Beck. Then, the following episode would be the reality show episode where we could see them being civil to each other, but that would crash and burn from the promo with Tori and Beck. The episode after would be Jade takes Tori's spot and the final would be the episode where Tori helped Jade's play succeed. All in all, they mixed the episodes.

[@eyesonyujin9180]

THE THROUPLE IDEA WAITTTTT

[@raygeorge5854]

Okay, so this is my opinion on the Andre ships, since he was my favourite character on the show and I payed the most attention to him and his interactions: (TLDR at the end) For the show; as it is, Andre and Tori MAKE THE MOST SENSE. I could see for the final season (the one I assume they had planned before the cancellation), that either Tori or Andre or both would come to a realization early on that they were into the other. We would then get moments of awkward tension and hilarious misinterpretations between the two until the final 2 episodes - where they would likely have a 2 part graduation from Hollywood Arts, and Andre would rush off to find Tori and admit his love for her, and she would return his feelings and the two would kiss and everyone would cheer. It just makes sense. They spent the most time together, the show has established them as perfect partners! Even their fights end with one comforting the other and reconciling in the end. They had all the foundations laid down, the final season was for sure going to be when they starting layering their relationship. Now, I think if the show had a more serious turn: Andre and Jade would be so much fun to explore. I've seen people talk about how Andre noticed Jade being normal, calm and fun to be around and those qualities made him realise just how much he liked her. I like the idea of the two of them building a slow burn relationship. Jade learning to trust someone and not having to constantly be alert for any girls challenging her for her man, especially when she sees Andre shut down any and all advances swiftly. Jade learning to curb her insecurities that, let's be honest here, Beck inflated. Andre learning that standing up for himself isn't something that would result in a negative outcome everytime (RE: when the group peer pressured him into missing his 97 year old great grandad's birthday to write a song for Tori). Jade & Andre learning how to be there for each other and how to be vulnerable and express their emotions and feelings. Overall, I think the Andre and Tori were the safest bet, and the most likely pairing we were going to see Andre land into. However, I love the slight dramatic feel the show could explore if they had gone with Andre and Jade. To use your example, despite it having a very similar layout and feel to Victorious, iCarly was able to balance those serious character moments really, really well. Examples: 1. Sam and Freddy on the fire escape after she shamed him for never having kissed anyone. 2. Carly talking to Freddy after he had saved her from that Taco truck. 3. Sam and Freddy's break up in the elevator. I know these are all romantic moments but that's my point, the fact that they had these moments in the first place, allowing the characters to have actual moments of vulnerablity with very little inclusion of laugh tracks and very soft, barely noticeable music in the background allowed us as the audience to believe them in these moments. If Victorious had made time and effort for these moments, then I truly believe Jade and Andre would have been the best ship on the show. TLDR; Tori & Andre made sense for the show. Jade & Andre are good if they're further explored as a couple.

Cat was the most versatile character in the series, she’s such a great actress, glad to know she’s back too acting now
