Zapped Might Be Disney's Most Disturbing Movie

The cooking kid got off too easy. The other two brother literally had to undergo psychological torture and become shells of their former selves, and the cooking kid just gets better at cooking.

A better premise for the movie would be Zoey ACCIDENTLY controlling her brothers. Like, she says that she wishes they would listen to her (but she wasn't being serious) and all of a sudden they're obeying her every command and aren't themselves anymore. Zoey realizes that they're perfect just the way they are, everything is fixed, all is forgiven, blah blah blah... you get it.

I went to High School with the kid who played the gross cooking brother- We were both in the drama program together. One time he was paired with me for a tableaux project and showed up late. He decided he wanted to be ‘the table’ in a piece about a wedding?? When I questioned him on it, he showed me a selfie of him with Zendaya, said she was his future prom date, and that I knew nothing about acting until I was a Disney child star like him.

Honestly, I like it best when smart characters dumb down their fields to make them accessible. I'm not a GENIOUS but I know programming better than my friend, but I noticed she enjoys reading fanfiction so I explained to her that a Python library is like "if you needed to download a specific Wattpad extension to read BTS fanfic, and another to write BTS fanfic". It isn't a PERFECT definition by any means and there are more nuances to a library, but she understood the essential part, that is libraries do specific things that are necessary in specific situations, like reading an Excel file. I think that what being savy about something is truly about: being able to make people know wtf you're talking about by getting to their level and THEN spitting the weird sounding shit.

This reminds me of a Goosebumps book I read when I was little. In it, a girl finds a TV remote that can control people sort of like this. She starts by hitting "mute" to get her family to stop asking her to do things, but the next day at school people notice the remote and beg her to let them try it. Overwhelmed, she starts pressing buttons to protect her from the mob of kids, until she hits "off". This turns off the universe, leaving her alone in an empty void. The batteries die, trapping her there. That was how I began to fear death. Good to see Disney bringing terror and dread to a new generation. Girl power!

New idea for Zapped: It starts off normal but really leans into the idea that she *hates* her new family and after her phone gets "zapped", one of her brothers breaks the mind control but has to pretend he's still controlled. He slowly has to figure out how to disable the control on the rest of his family and the boys at school. Now, 2 ideas for endings: 1. He takes the phone and breaks the control over the boys and either she learns that she was wrong, or doesn't. 2. While trying to get the phone, he falls back under the control of the app and it cuts to a dystopian future where his sister rules the world and he's her personal slave.

As a person with ADHD, the big brother is literally me, in both scenarios

[@littlesunshine9218]

I felt attacked by the accuracy.

[@godslaughter]

I wanted to wait and see what you were referring to before doing anything and you are so correct, this is the ADHD experience.

[@user-th7lu2yf7n]

RIGHT? i felt too connected to him on a spiritual level in both scenarios, before and after controlling him😭

[@greteb1951]

When I first saw this movie I didn’t understand why the brother was a problem because I was like that all the time

@Kay E that’s kinda offensive

Me and my sister watched this movie so many times when we were little to the point where my sister now hates the movie, I don’t blame her

What sucks more to me is that the love interest is a Adam from Lab Rats, and I cannot see him as a teen movie’s love interest, not with the goofy and dumb but hyper strong bionic super man he is in Lab Rats

[@jocelynecupcake]

Disney loved doing that kind of thing with their actors and actresses, especially their male actors. He could be playing a big dumb oaf in one show/movie and then play a love interest in the other. It doesn't help that they always got the 30 year old ladies' men to play the love interests and the more normal teen looking guys to play the nerdy or awkward guys. Come to think of it, the beauty standards on those shows were worse for the guys than for the girls. Me and my friend recently watched that Twister episode of Suite life on Deck (which was a spinoff to Suite life of Zack & Cody) and but Zack and Cody looked more like normal teens, but the guy who played Bailey's ex boyfriend looked 25-30 ish! LOL ^o^ it was kinda funny tho. He was a good actor, i guess that's what mattered. My grandma and I would notice that stuff in a lot of sitcoms, but nobody did it as much as Disney. also I remember Lab Rats being very weird, but I saw an interview with the actors and actress and they seemed so nice and sweet! Like, it's not their fault the show is weird, they just wanted to be on a show that makes kids laugh.

The ferdora girl is 100% accurate, if someone wears a fedora (which is almost always actually a trilby) I would not be surprised if they had pictures in a locker and on the pillows and somewhere else.

11:05 as someone who read the book this was based on when I was a kid (“Boys Are Dogs”) this is a reference to the sequel (“Girls Acting Catty”). Also the book is way less wild from what I remember, there was no magic to it, the main character just got a dog training book and started to realize the techniques were a good way of dealing with boys too.

There's actually book super similar to this called "Boys Are Dogs" but it actually makes sense how it works. The protagonist realizes her the advice in her dog training book can be used on people, and starts socially conditioning the guys are her school to be less of jerks.

Sounds like an older movie I saw. Dont remember the name. Like 1950s 1960s. (No, I'm not that old, my mom thought all new movies were dirty, so I watched racist/sexist films from the last century as a child)
