11:16 the Wizards creator Todd J Greenwald did make a statement on his Instagram story, the day before David and Selena announced the reboot. It said that he and the other original writers are NOT involved with this. I forgot what else he said, but he didn’t see too happy about this. (I completely get why, Wizards had such a specific humor and vibe that I don’t think the Raven’s Home writers will get right). and ooo a cameo from me🤭

I want them to continuously refer to Dan benson’s character as an accountant and it’s played for laughs all of season one and eventually have him show up in season two and the running gag is everyone knows what he does but no one wants to say it in front of the kids but that may be too much for Disney.

If they do address the actual racism it has, it would be a very fine line that I'm not sure is worth risking. They would come out as pandering and "modern" or poorly handle it and it would be bad as well. Just not worth it

[@Cjaj2]

listen, I'm hoping selena at least ends up as a recurring guest star, as much as I love Justin if he's the only returning character they might as well just make it a complete reboot with no ties to the original

[@Anna-B]

My opinion on what we know about the reboot: It’s not what I want it to be… it sounds kinda weird and boring. Like, let’s just remake Wizards but boring and not how the future of these kids would probably happen. My opinion on “adult” revivals: I think more adult storylines can work, but I don’t want it taken too far, for two reasons. Firstly, there are actual children that may want to know what happens next and may search it out. Secondly, I think the vibes would be off.

[@fusetunes]

sometimes i think it feels a bit cynical and forced too. like, just because the target audience grew up doesn’t mean a story suddenly has to become edgy. sometimes we still like to see goofy lighthearted stuff lol

[@realestsienna]

[@Aceali2210]

My take from the synopsis was that whatever incident happened at wiztech is what caused Justin to give up his power so that would mean his wife is probably magical too but i don't know maybe thats just how it sounded to me

[@Aceali2210]

we will probably start with Justin losing his power and grappling with being truly powerless for the first time in his life while training his kids and solving the big mystery in wiztech that made him give up his powers and the girl will probably have something to do with the mystery or I'm just writing a fanfic and that isn't at all what the synopsis meant

[@Missmagazinebura]

Alex caused the incident like dropping Justin in volcano land taking away his powers

[@getmeouttahere1209]

I think the show would likely center it’s main storyline about what happened at wiz tech and it’s likely that the girl that shows up at Justin’s door is the daughter of whoever caused Justin to lose his powers and turned wiz tech upside down. Those story threads have to intersect at some point

Wizards was a very ambitious sitcom for Disney Channel standards and the synopsis for the sequel pilot sounds like a reshash of the original plot of the series. Justin is in his father’s place and I guess that could make for a good commentary about sons being just like their dads, but there were better alternatives. Like, during one of David Henrie’s interviews, he mentioned a much more interesting idea for a sequel: the family being separated and we witnessing them reuniting after years apart.

I have an idea for what the incident would have entailed. Firstly, since it wasn't said in the video, as of 2022, Bridget Mendler is currently doing both a Ph.D. at MIT and also in Harvard Law School so she's definitely really busy. Since it's not going to lean into the adult angle we probably won't properly get this, but the incident would have probably had to left Justin either disgraced or disenchanted with magic, or the wound hurts too much. My idea is (since Juliet won't be coming back) Juliet was returned to normal, but that only lasted for so long. She started showing signs of aging again, maybe this time even deterioration since the magic that restored her had to have been something crazy from that fallen angel and with him gone it got used up. So Justin wanted to help her, and he tried with his new found magical upgrade and it was working well, until it didn't. Until he messed up. He inadvertently killed Juliet and swore off all magic forever, because magic was now tied to loss for him, a loss he created.

Unfortunately those two things aren't mutually exclusive. The cast and crew being excited and passionate about it, doesn't necessarily make it less of a cash grab.

[@DecentHuman99]

Justin giving up magic feels like the exact opposite of his character. Even when he admitted defeat at the wizard competition it was less about him being willing to give up magic and more about him doing the right thing by being honest. I knowing people can change but to go from "magic is who I am" to "who cares about magic I have a family" is pretty drastic.

[@nyct0phile]

i dont think "magic is who i am" is part of his cahracter. in the wizards movie and a few times in different ways, he says things along the lines of alex making him a better wizard, and magic/school being the one thing hes good at. i think its more of a pressure to be perfect sort of thing, and im super curious if they're going to dive into the ethics of making justin the prof super young, all of the pressure he felt, etc. im hoping for some sort of "i was too young for this and the adults in my life failed me" lol but idk how disney would be able to make that not dark

[@Oneasianpersuasion]

I agree with this !!!!

[@growingupwithdisney]

My Wizards of Waverly Place sequel series idea: Justin starts a class for wizards who lost their Family Wizard Competition to give them a second chance to compete against each other to see who deserves to be a full wizard! The 16 year old protagonist Adin (a male Alex Russo) secretly makes a Wizard Revolution behind Justin’s back, because he does not want to give up his magic again, and wants to ABOLISH the Family Wizard Competition (just like Stevie). I’d want the series to be a story-driven comedy on Disney Plus, rather than a Disney Channel sitcom.

[@Dave102693]

Sounds too ambitious tbh

[@pinkiepie2331]

This sounds fire

[@growingupwithdisney]

@@Dave102693 it does, I feel like Disney Plus never truly had a HIT that can compete with Netflix having Stranger Things or Wednesday. They don’t really have Star Wars or Marvel to fall back in anymore, I think Wizards could be the franchise that can give them that. But Disney finally takes a risk and change up the genre a bit (but keep that original Wizards comedy). Like how The Big Bang Theory is just a regular adult sitcom, while its prequel Young Sheldon kind of has a whole different vibe. But both series became popular on their own. Nobody watches Disney Channel kids sitcoms much anymore (they think it’s childish). Disney should try something new to keep up with the times of what people actually could like nowadays

[@justyouraveragegeek548]

Honestly i feel bad for Max that he barely had a chance at any character development honestly i wouldn’t mine that the wizard reboot follows Max child who goes to wiz tech that Justin having a kid where the cousin have a bromance in the show and that could lead them to be the primary wizards of there family which allows Justin to be the mentor to them in their teenage years

[@maddiemcnugget1076]

Yeah I honestly think this should've been the direction. I heard another KZbinr's input saying a Max reboot would be boring, but no, it's a clean slate. I can see him just making the sandwich shop something else as well. The man owns property in freaking NYC he can do a lot.

So Billie is probably gonna be the Justin archetype and then Roman will be Alex-esque? And then kid will be Max-esque guess? Or they'll make him super smart (like Levi from Raven's Home) but bad at magic. Then Billie can be a magic prodigy but maybe not as smart as Justin. Bonus points if the brothers are able to be closer with Billie vs each other because the family wizard contest has already clouded over their brotherhood

[@RyRyBrxt]

I'm excited but if we are only focusing on Justin idk how I feel about it in all honesty!! I just think Justin isn't a good enough character to stand alone, and that's because him and Alex are co-leads, while I like Justin it's just hard to imagine having to just deal with him. I'm guessing this Billy character is our Alex replacement in all honesty. I'm very scared that the writers are the same ones from Ravens Home since that show is just a major hit or miss but I just wish they could've gotten the OG characters back. When it comes to Justin, him giving up his powers kinda make sense to me, and that's only because he was dragged into a role at a very young age, while Crumbs did it for hundreds of years and Justin got stuck in that role which seems pretty lonely. I'm just sad that Selena will only be a guest star and even though the idea seems interesting overall it's kinda sad that most of the other characters will probably be only one off appearances. I think it'll also be interesting to see his kids find out they have magic if they didn't know and then how that rivalry or something will work between them and the Billy character.

[@lajbartek360]

1:22 I finally hit it big guys I got into a Keyan video wow 12:58 I feel this might also be because he’s playing a much bigger role then Selena.

I think it might work if that magic incident was caused by Alex and/or Max (maybe trying to get him powers as well because he grew up and figured it was never fair competition for him as the youngest and his life just turn into mess?) And Justin as always takes responsibility for his siblings actions but also his reasoning for giving up powers could be finally seeing how corrupt and sick that system was (Ekhm.... Stevie was right or something...) Oh and that mysterious kid? Is Stevie's - Justin takes care of her because of guilt (maybe her dad and Stevie tried to start another rebellion and Justin put them in prison?) and she's like Alex while his sons are basically little Justin and Max. Also about Juliet - i feel like it was never really meant to be, just like Alex and Mason (who in later seasons just acted kinda obssesive) and as Justin grew up he realized that she's hundreds years old! But they are still friends tho and she might show up as a special guest. i think the "adult thing" they should do is adressing some issues in system but i doubt they'd do 😅 So anyway that's my pitch😂 i might have other ideas as well

Maybe Justin will give his powers to Max, just like how Jerry gave his Powers to Uncle Kelbo.

I think it’s a huge L that it sounds like Selena won’t be involved very much…. I don’t think it’ll have enough of the original cast and what made the show so good (Alex…) for the old time fans and it will be too much nostalgia bait for new, younger fans. It is almost impossible for these kinds of shows to find their footing if they try to do both. I’ll give it a try with the new kids, but the original fans are all adults and don’t want to watch a kid show with just some actors that they recognize in the background every once and a while.

Sad we don't get Juliet after everything they went through. Hope Alex at least mentions Mason, even if its just a wolf symbol on a piece of jewelry or a comment in passing, I loved them so much.

[@was1399]

I think it’s funny the guy who plays Zeke thinks that he’d even be called back for the reboot 😂

[@elitettelbach4247]

Congrats on being correct again, as always! Also lmao the Dan Benson reaction clips are so funny to me. Love his work!

[@taylorlov3r1989]

thank god someone is covering this because i thought i was GOING CRAZY when i saw these headlines.

[@lkiswriting]

THEORY: Maybe the incident at WizTech had something to do with Juliet. Maybe something set her off & she turned some of the students into vampires or drank their blood or something. It could be a good way to explain why Juliet and Justin are no longer together & why Justin felt the need to leave WizTech & his magical past behind. I know that it's out of character for Juliet but perhaps she was being tricked or controlled as a part of a villain plot that would be revealed-- maybe the villain that Alex dated during the original WizTech episodes came back and has a role in it and will be a villain the show. I know that PROBABLY this is VERY UNLIKELY... but I like the idea of it in my head even if in the show itself Juliet will probably not be mentioned at all

[@kennedystomberg1747]

I like that a lot honestly!😊

[@MyMusicWrld]

Justin has always been a lover boy, him giving up powers for his lady kinda checks out. I feel like he would have done they for Juliet if that was to happen for some reason

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

Justin's now understands Jerry decision to give up his Wizard Powers to Marry a Mortal. Back in Wizards of Waverly place, episode Alex in the Middle he and Max thought it wasn't a great idea to for Jerry to decide to give up his Wizard Powers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3y5fGmpgLVme8k

[@Brewart2012]

Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas have a decent catalog, Randy Cunningham and Best Friends Whenever, so they’ll probably do it justice.

[@darwinbowman8512]

They've also helped with raven's home so I think we'll be safe. Selena is also executive producing

[@bush2137]

Holy shit. You called it. You were actually right

[@mjm3091]

3:15 Very - Disney child-acting vibe. Which I guess fits perfectly. 8:10 Well I hope it's more of a plot point. Justin's core is presumably connected to WizTech, it's the only reason he can do magic - so if there was an accident and he resigns, I would assume he would lose his power. Story could be about them trying to solve that issue? Outside new kids obviously being the main protags, who take the spotlight. Tbh, I don't really care that much about that part - they had to go with something and I feel like they either had to make both parents magical or non-magical, for this to work with the law lore. But I guess that could also be a plot point in the story to be solved. I am however concerned this could end up as a reboot. Those kids strike me as generic, so I hope they get proper personalities and characteristics that make them unique and they won't be just copies of Alex, Justin and Max. Also they definitely need to bring whole cast. Bring my man Dan. 10:55 I mean dude has two kids. He definitely did go for some mature shenanigans...

[@pomefio]

keyan im on my knees... i need the suite life on deck video.... im begging...

[@maxitrillion630]

dude ur vibe is awesome. loved the presentation of information

[@jbcatz5]

The setting is something I want to know. Will it be at the sandwich shop and apartment, or a brand new location? Justin having a non-magic life means a non-magic job, which is unlikely to be the sub shop as Max has the business passed down to him. Jerry and Teresa retiring would be the perfect explanation for having them appear when David and Maria are available, maybe Jerry has a lesson for Justin about being a teacher or Teresa wants to have fun with her grandsons.

[@banaqos]

It has to be something iconic and relate to the story, or it won’t stick imo

[@fusetunes]

when i heard the reboot was happening for sure my first thought was about your comments during the wizards video!! excited to actually hear your thoughts

[@AnonUnlimited]

Tbh i think there is potential, but the more i think about it the more i mourn for all of the interesting alternate reboots we could have had. Like maybe not Alex and Justin co running wiz tech, but instead Alex needing some extra cash to afford her bills (like to imagine her sharing an apartment with harper in nyc or smth and its crazy expensive). She could decide to use her fame from saving the world several times to apply as a guest lecturer at wiztech for the year (like one of those alternate schools you can take classes at in hs). I imagine Justin initially wants to say no ( bc potential choas and still kinda being jealous that he didnt get to save the world) but is talked into it by the rest of the staff. So i imagine alex taking students on magic school bus thpe antics and Justin having to deal with the choas while keeping the school running. I imagine harper being a yter/tik toker in the vain of that one girl who makes those "making a dress entirely out of loofahs/making oufits from popular movies". Like tell me you cant imagine her doing similar funny rambles while making crazy outfits. Plus i think there a funny plots to be had about those two basically leading similar lives in two different worlds. Alex is somewhat famous in the wizarding world and a nobody in the human world. But, its the opposite for harper. You could have some shenanigans where the two worlds collide or they struggle to connect in the other worlds. Like Alex not being able to be honest about her life with humans or harper basically breaking the law everytime she interacts with magic. Thats not even mentioning the possible love triangles that can result from living in two worlds or the inherit stakes of losing your magic at play now that theyre fully grown. My ideal reboot would actually focus on the adults though so it definitely would never happen. (I really dont think they need to make the show explicit to be aimed at adults but so many ppl have very chilidish views of adulthood so we get nothing ig).

[@ollie2111]

Do we know if he gave up his powers for his wife or could the "incident" be something like he got fired somehow and instead of losing his healtcare he lost his magic. Equally tragic hsvdhshsjsjs. Tbh I hope it's the second thing and it was like, maybe someone sabatoged him or some sht happened and they ruthlessly take away his magic just because he doesnt have a wizard job (and as someone who didn’t win the competition, can't fall back on it so lets say, he could only get his magic given back if he got steady access to wizard work) but maybe his reputation was destroyed by the incident so instead of trying to fix it or clear it up he just gives up and focuses on his family for a while, tho could have a potential ability to get it back. Or maybe like, even if that is how it happened he could have married a human after he lost his powers and couldn't get them back due to work related reputation or other wiztech issues, and then in deciding to marry a human that would be him cementing his choice, rather than it being a 1:1 same thing as his dad. I think that woild be a super interestimg way for them to have him end up like Jerry if they wanted him to, while still making it interesting and unique how he got there. And, even leave a tiny bit of room for him to get his powers back as like a big pivotal moment for a later season or episode. I think that would be really cool. Also I agree with your guys' ideas that after pointing out how seriously messed up the wozard government is, having an arc where some of the character change or overthrow it would be a really interesting plot direction (with Stevie yeah!).

[@mrsharkles]

Every waking moment I refresh my KZbin page hoping to see the Suite Life on Deck video on my feed

[@thehomiesrule123]

I JUST FINISHED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS ON IT AYAYAYAYAYA

[@megadude967]

Part of me could understand Justin giving up magic if the "Incident" that led to it was just Justin hitting some next level gifted kid burn out. Like spent all his life propped up as the good sibling with the most expectations, got promoted to one of the most important roles in the Wizarding World at like 18 and then had to just keep it up. Like 3 years in he just snapped, his relationship crashed and burned and he completely left it all behind if he even made it that far

[@jacobhogan3208]

I love the commitment to try and get the theme in a Wizards video without a claim.

[@Aquablast64]

Gary Marsh was the President of Disney Channel when Wizards started.

[@toric6005]

This is exactly what I thought about when I saw this announcement!

[@RandySimmons180]

You should review The Villains of Valley View. It's created by the same creators of Lab Rats (Chris Peterson and Bryan Moore). Some say it's similar to Wizards of Waverly place, some say it's a knock-off of The Thundermans, and some say The Villains of Valley View is the show they've been looking for ever since Lab Rats. There's some, I guess you can call "easter eggs" to Lab Rats; even in the theme song. Bradley Steven Perry's former co-star Patricia Belcher in Good Luck Charlie has a role in this show. In season 2, we get a guest star appearance from the actor who plays Horace in Mighty Med (not him actually playing Horace though). I don't want to spoil too much for you if you're actually interested in reviewing it. Overall, it's really an interesting show. Watch some of the trailers, maybe you will be interested in reviewing. Hope you see this and take my suggestion.

[@TheTekkenguy]

Yeah, I’d love to see Keyan talk about this show once it wraps up. It probably has 1 or 2 more seasons left.
