The one thing that bothers me is that Addison was beamed up because she's "part alien", yet at the end we discover that her mom also has the white hair. Under this logic, wouldn't the mother have been beamed up too? But I guess that ruins the plot twist so logic is out of the window

I believe the beam targets a specific area but they set it to only beam up aliens. This way they don't have to worry about targeting each alien individually, and also don't have to worry about getting the wrong people. Of course, there was Addison, but they didn't know she was an alien so they had no way to account for her. Her mum was at home, so she just happened to not be in the area. If she was, I assume it would have beamed her too.

She freak out and shouts "they're (seabrook) my people too" and runs off. She's torn between her heart and helping the aliens, and her parents find her at home. Issue the tender talk, where her mother encourages her to do what she thinks is right and that her heart will lead her. She meets up with the zombies and werewolves and they have a heart to heart. She loves them all but feels like she's being selfish if she puts her needs before the Aliens, because they need her. They tell her it's okay, and Zed doesn't like it but tells her he trusts their love. It's not logical but he knows that their love and her love for seabrook is powerful, and will bring her back to them. Cue everything else happening like in the movie.

Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law.

Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.

Exactly.

Addison's character was so annoying. She's the daughter of the mayor, cousin of cheerleader captain turned cheer captain herself, gets along with everyone, and has a fairly popular boyfriend by the second movie. She had nothing to complain about in her own life in the first movie other than her hair which was accepted by the end. Despite this she still feels she doesn't belong and tried to equate her minor hair issue with oppression. If she actually looked different from the other seabrooke characters, like having blue hair and a unconventional eye color, then I could understand her feeling like she doesn't belong. They could've even given her interests outside of cheer on top of the white hair and make it so she was forced to cheer so she belonged. Then they could have her explore those different hobbies and be ostracized for it. Then she could figure out who she is and actually have issues in how she's treated instead of making her not belong because she wants to be special on top of perfect and giving her what she wants.

This story would have been better if it was gay

[@boi-4216]

@@Fae-willdmont bro what?

[@DircyaT.Rubino]

The story should have been: - She was bullied for her extremely pale blue hair so severely her confidence and self-esteem was shattered, so she began wearing a wig at six years old. - Ten years later when zombies are reintegrated into society. They have been cured of their cannibalistic tendencies by scientists, but their appearances are still the same: Green hair, colorless skin, etc. Addison notices that they are being bullied for their appearance and can empathize. - She meets Zed during the lockdown and hits it off with him until she hints at sharing his struggles, and he angrily disagrees with her, enlightening her as to how society oppressed his race for years. - After the events of the lockdown, Addison tells the new cheerleader (and her current best friend) Bree what happened, and takes off her wig in a moment of vulnerability. As respectfully as she can, Bree tells Addison that she is being ridiculous and that her childhood bullies were shallow and immature - and unfortunately, many adults are as well. - With this new perspective, Addison apologizes to Zed and asks him to show her Zombietown. While there, she learns to appreciate the perseverance of the lower class. She tells Zed how silly she was, tosses her wig into a conveniently located trash can bonfire, and the two share a passionate kiss. - When the classist cheerleaders (who could not care less about hair color) bully Eliza - one of Zed’s friends - she retaliates and punches the team captain in the cheek. In response, the mayor (still Addison’s mom) has all zombies deported back to Zombietown, despite her daughter’s protests. When Addison asks the mayor why this decision was made, her mother admits that she has no conscious prejudices against zombies, but the citizens of Seabrook were not likely to re-elect her unless she made an example of such “violent instigators”. Ashamed of her mother’s actions, Addison storms off. - The next day, Addison contacts Zed and Bree. With the mayor’s permission (to make up for her mistake), the three of them meet up with the cheerleaders under the false pretenses of celebrating Bree’s birthday (which happened two months before she moved to Seabrook). The cheerleaders are naturally infuriated at having been deceived, but after Zed and Addison inform them of their romance, they agree to tolerate zombies (and are even more motivated to do so after Bree reveals that she baked everyone cupcakes - it is a Disney Channel Original Movie). - Encouraged by their success, the mayor grants the zombies official Seabrook citizenship, and they are reintegrated into the town once more. Zombie students are finally allowed to join extracurriculars, and Zed leads the local high school to their first football game victory in four years. The first movie ends with the cheerleaders winning second place in the cheer competition, while Addison and Zed share a second kiss after the encore. (The movie still wouldn't need to become a trilogy if they dismissed Addison's hair as a genetic anomaly or some lime soda gas her mom inhaled while pregnant that BARELY affected their genes, but if they really want to milk this cash cow...) Second movie: When word of successful zombie integration reaches the werewolves via broadcast (yes the werewolf society that lives in the woods has television - it’s still Disney Channel), they finally see an opportunity to reclaim the moonstone stolen from them years before without violence. The mayor informs them that they need the moonstone to power the town, but if the town can obtain an elusive mineral capable of providing eternal energy once it makes contact the moonstone (I’m going to call it sabomene for now), the moonstone will be returned to them. - Zed, Addison, and Eliza are sent on the quest as teenage emissaries (the lifespan of an average werewolf has significantly decreased without access to their moonstone, with most dying in their twenties, despite their moonstone accessories granting them a few more years of life). As they walk through town, Zed becomes conflicted by how casually everyone addresses the werewolves. He confides in Addison, telling her how happy he is that things have changed, but frustrated by how long the change took. Not knowing what to say, Addison simply listens to Zed, and when asked about her silence, she confesses that she can’t find the right words. Zed understands and reassures Addison that he knows how much she supports him just by listening. - After a few unrelated shenanigans, the group reaches the old sabomene quarry, and the search begins. Night falls after an unsuccessful first day, and everyone sets up camp. They later adjourn around a campfire, where Addison explains how despite sabomene being difficult to find, the mineral is in abundance wherever it is found. When asked why the moonstone was taken in the first place, she reveals that after the sabomene quarries ran dry, the townspeople of Seabrook offered to return the moonstone when they no longer needed it, but they never bothered to find another solution, and the werewolves reveal that their ancestors were “encouraged” to return to their home in the Brookwood (the name “Forbidden Forest” is stolen from Harry Potter), where they awaited an opportunity to peacefully enter Seabrook, seeing as they became too weak to take the moonstone by force. Zed empathizes with the werewolves at having been cast out from society, but assures them that Seabrook has changed. A few werewolves confess their desire to live in Seabrook, but their de facto leader Willow is not convinced that leaving the Brookwood is best for her peers. - Meanwhile, there is a B-plot about a few werewolves who didn’t go to the quarry. Instead, they opted to enroll in the local high school, and the plot follows how they adjust to their new environment and the approaching prom. It’s less important to the story, but it’s interesting enough to satisfactorily pad the runtime. - After a few more fruitless endeavors, the group finally discovers a sabomene deposit behind a wall of stone. They carefully excavate the amber-colored mineral (there isn’t enough yellow in this trilogy), and Addison finds the sabomene to feel eerily familiar. They then return to the world above, where they exchange the sabomene (already touched by the moonstone accessories) with the mayor for the moonstone. Before it can be returned to the Brookwood, Willow and her companions reconvene with the werewolves who chose to attend high school, and agree to leave the forest after taking note of how tolerant Seabrook has finally become. The second movie ends with everyone at the prom, dancing and having a good time. Third movie: The aliens’ home was obliterated by an asteroid many years ago, and they have been searching for a new home. - They sent multiple scouts to find a safe town on Earth, and Addison’s grandparents were sent to Seabrook. - Sabomene is used by the aliens as spaceship fuel, and the scouts hid the mineral all over Earth to replenish their ships’ fuel in case they couldn’t live there after all. - Addison’s grandparents find Seabrook to be fit for aliens, but without enough sabomene to fuel their communications, the aliens still in space can’t confirm this, so they travel to every scouted location until they reach Seabrook. Used sabomene can be worn as jewelry, which is why Addison finds it familiar - her grandparents wore sabomene bracelets as symbols of their union. - The mayor tells Addison the truth about her heritage, having only kept it from everyone (including Addison) to prevent being discriminated against. She apologizes to Addison and regrets not trusting her, and the latter is naturally angry at first, but later comes to understand her mother’s reasoning. - Addison then learns more about her heritage and befriends the aliens. They attend school and share some of their technology with Seabrook to gain their trust. - Addison’s grandparents engraved a message of confirmation onto an alien artifact. They then donated it to the local museum that is currently closed for renovations. All of the items are locked in a warehouse that the main characters help the aliens break into during their evening graduation ceremony (complete with wacky antics to ensure that no one knows they’re gone; it’s still Disney Channel people). They find the artifact with the message of confirmation, and the aliens move to Seabrook. Unrelated: After bonding in the second movie (I didn’t mention it because it wasn’t a major plot point), Eliza and Willow begin dating, and the chemistry is palpable throughout the entire movie. - Addison is 50% alien and her mother is 100% alien (and she has her own transformation scene where she takes the wig SHE wore - partially due to discrimination and zombie association, but also because the pale turquoise color clashed with everything - it’s still Disney Channel). When they transform, their hair turns a standard bright blue alien color, but Addison's has thin platinum white streaks and face stickers half the size of those on an average alien. - The mayor didn’t tell Addison because she didn't not want her to face the kind of discrimination that zombies had to endure for years. - Addison decides to learn more about her heritage and culture while simultaneously befriending the other aliens. Despite what she learns about herself, she doesn’t change her entire identity. - The aliens are upfront about their objective to save everyone time. - A-spen is still non-binary, but they develop a crush on one of the cheerleaders or someone else entirely. - The key to their utopia is just a message engraved on an alien artifact that says something along the lines of, “Welcome home" or "Utopia confirmed". - Bucky is not in this movie or in either of the previous two (and if he is, he is toned down JUST A SMIDGE).

I would completely remove Addison's "flaw". Instead, I would give her a different problem. Because she's always appreciating new species for some reason, I'd write her as a overly nice and vulnerable character that constantly gets taken advantage off, but still chooses to be trusting towards others, which causes her troubles often. So, eventually, it makes her doubt if being nice really is worth it. But I doubt Disney would we able to write that without messing it up and making it crap.

The first one was honestly ok. Like for a Disney channel movie, it was pretty good ngl. The actors did a decent job, everyone seemed to care about the movie and the plot was decently executed. The songs were obviously the best part, and I think continue to remain the best part. I think that's what these movies are honestly, hour long music videos with random bouts of dialogue lmao. Anyway, the first was decent and I thought it was fine for a DC movie. The second one was uhhh.... yeah I could see where things were going from there. I don't think the actors really hate this series, but you can see the decrease in enthusiasm tbh. Plus the whole idea of werewolves is very dumb. It's like what?! The first movie was about zombies and humans and did have some really surprising ideas and thoughts about discrimination for a kids film. But the second and third just took a complete dump on the first one. The first one was just about two kids from very "different" sides of the city but the second and third were about werewolves? And aliens? How weird... It also begs the question, if the people of seabrook were willing to except ZOMBIES then why wouldn't they let werewolves into their lives?? They kinda did, but in a weird way... idk. Anyway yeah, for a DC movie the first was ok. For a movie in general, it was cringey but it had some charisma at least. And for a trilogy, IMO it is trash. And the fact remains, the best part are the songs haha edit: I think one thing the third movie does good is expressing the NB and queer characters in the film. It was done pretty good tbh. It didn't feel all that forced and seemed pretty natural, considering this is a DC movie and has a somewhat better representation than some blockbuster movies lol.

I mean in the Zombies 2 Zed became really selfish and they didn’t end his arc right (if his arc was about the challenge of glory and popularity, I don’t know) and Addison got really dumb like “I don’t know werewolves even one day, but I will do everything they want just to fit in, but I don’t know why I even need to fit in, because I’m already accepted and loved by everyone around”. And then the third movie… I knew they were writing it lazily for one day maximum without a touch of logic, idea and character development when I saw the teaser song of aliens’ arrival. My favorite line (no) was when they sing that the invasion is scary, but is kind of cool (as a person who knows war I can say for sure that such events CAN NOT BE COOL EVER! IT’S A NONSENSE!) So forgive me if I’m harsh, but with all the hype Disney team was making about this movie, about it being serious and superior to other ones… Zombies 3 is a garbage, just in my opinion at least

By this logic, werewolves could be Native Americans (first people of the land, then newcomers arrived, took their land and now they're minority). Plus the ending song is positive, like "used to be divided, now we're all united", so again, good message for children. No idea who Aliens are supposed to be. Immigrants? Dunno.

what I find so interesting about this series is that Addison is honestly just. the Whitest White Girl. like, you always see these hyper white Americans who discover the existence of a rich culture not their own, one that has a tight knit community and class consciousness due to oppression and go "I want that" and get *really* into it, wanting to take it for themselves and be included in the solidarity, while getting to wear cool foreign/ethnic garb that makes them feel like a rebel, or spiritual, or whatever, which is how you get the white girls in war bonnets and trying to learn hula on youtube. it's not as obvious with cheerleading bc that's not a cultural thing, and the alien thing is actually her own real heritage, so while it's weird bc it's rushed, it still feels like "white girl discovers she's Scottish, buys her ancestor's kilt". it's most obvious in the wherewolf thing, and how she *somehow* relates to zombies. like, she obviously doesn't actually, other than feeling like she didn't belong (but not knowing why), but that need to feel oppressed when she's really part of the privileged class with almost no real problems and trying to shoehorn herself into every actual oppressed group, covering herself in their cultural styles and just announcing she's ready to be one of them is just.

If she was anything else like poc, lgbt+, some non Christian religion or etc it would have made more sense for her to feel some discrimination that could be sympathized with by the viewers.

[@Moon-Vixen]

@@jesushchrist6172 media has both a bias and an agenda, and giving young girls the beginnings of class consciousness by allowing their main character to fight (or even recognize) misogyny, patriarchy, sexist stereotypes, ext is simply unacceptable to those who fund the media, as it risks ~giving little girls ideas~ and also will cause the movie to be labeled propaganda (irony, considering exactly this reason is why it actually is propaganda). same reason why the military pays companies for movies to involve the military, but only if the military approves of the narrative it sets, the typical "American soldiers are always heroes who get to do amazing heroic things" that we're all sick of, and will use their full power to end any movie that doesn't match the narrative they want. propaganda. but even so, I do really feel like they should have picked something else for their main character to be weird about. making her a perfectly gender conforming het white blond girl with 0 problems but still feeling out of place/like she doesn't belong and without community is just so weird, and finally learning in the THIRD movie that she's really like, what, 1/3rd? alien like....ok sure, I can buy that she's felt like an outsider for that reason, but....not bc her hair doesn't match her eyebrows. that's just so fucking dumb. (imo, they should have given her something like a weird feature, like a non-human looking part of her body that's maybe actually a normal alien feature but that she knows no one else has and has to work to hide it. it could have been used as the sort of zootopia-style racism allegory that it already tries to pull off but for normalizing physical disabilities, but hell, even just a weird unnatural colored birthmark that was actually the map would have been leagues better than the hair) but also, this not the kind of thing you don't actually hint to until the 3rd movie. that's not a pay off, that feels like you realized this shit didn't make sense and tried to retcon it for the sake of making one more movie. and it's also not something you do with a character that you also have trying on every other group's culture like it's a fun costume for her to adopt. by making her feelings valid with the alien plot, it also validates all her actions in trying to find said community, through the almost forceful appropriation of everyone else's cultures that were just as quickly tossed aside as she "found herself". it's a decently cute series, but my god is it a narrative mess.

She has a tendency to eat up screentime with her identity issues when the films are also trying to juggle actual social commentary about racism, colonisation and immigration (the latter coming off more as an afterthought than a proper plot line). Sure, the aliens are looking for a new home and Zed is trying to make higher education available to monsters, but let’s spend time on Addison’s identity insecurities and make her the most important person in the movie because of course she’s the macguffin the aliens have been searching for this whole time.
