It kind off weird that she discriminates against monsters yet technically she half-alien and her grandmother spoke of unity and stuff like given her mission and all. It almost as if the concept for this series was poorly thought out. 🧐
And the most annoying part is she literally is loved and welcomed everywhere - cheerleading, with zombies, with Wolfs. She’s always belonged somewhere. She acts oppressed for having white hair- and it’s more of a blonde anyways
As soon as the aliens said “we need to find the most precious thing in Sea brook” I immediately was like “oh. It’s gonna be Addison, isn’t it.” Because that’s always how these movies go.
People complain about minority representation and the existence of queer characters making kids "confused" or encouraging them to be "snowflakes," but I'd actually argue "the popular, rich, white, blonde cheerleader with a perpetual identity crisis who is clearly meant to be the audience avatar and stands at the literal center of the universe, and also, her feelings are the most valid feelings of all" is an actually-bad message to send to kids.
Addison’s issue with her white hair would’ve made way more sense of zombies had white and green hair. Then her white hair would scare people into thinking she’s a zombie, which would’ve been way more compelling. She would have to wear a wig to avoid people being afraid of her or thinking she’s a zombie. But no, turns out she’s just an a werewolf/alien or whatever.
Honestly the CGI for the alien mothership isn’t that bad for a Disney Channel Original Movie Edit: 5.6K likes. Wow Another Edit: For all the people saying “yeah it has a higher budget because it’s a Disney Plus film and not a DCOM” it is a DCOM, it says at the end of the film
the only point of yours that can make her be considered a mary sue is constantly being the chosen one. Being good at a hobby and being kind don't make you a mary sue.
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.
Zombies: face discrimination every day Werewolves: were mistreated and forgotten about Aliens: literally homeless Addison: well, my hair is slightly blonder than normal so I TOTALLY understand how you feel
Props to the person on the last video who predicted that the “A” in Addison would foreshadow her being an alien. Not a huge leap, considering all the zombies have “Z” names and the werewolves have “W” names, but still, good on you whoever you are. You predicted the idiocy. Also, can Addison’s mom do an alien transformation too? Because Addison is only 25% alien while her mother is 50%, so I feel like her mother should be able to do that too.
There is a lot I have a problem with in this trilogy, but it seems like Addison just gets dumber the older she is and there’s no character growth in her. She acts like one little minor inconvenience ruins her whole life. She has an amazing group of friends, she’s popular, her parents go along with whatever crazy adventure she wants to go on, and she acts like she can relate to everyone else’s problems, and can’t recognize her own privilege.
And her victim complex is intense. Her boyfriend was oppressed his whole life and continues to experience racism, and she has white hair and says “I know how you feel” then she decides to take off her wig and not hide her hair anymore, she is TOTALLY accepted and becomes the most popular girl in school, and still says she knows was oppression is like
@@CoconutMigrationCommittee I completely agree with this. Addison wanted to be oppressed so bad to relate but she couldn’t because she never had to be oppressed. To me the character is just really annoying.
@@CoconutMigrationCommittee Tbh I wish they would just lean into this. Plot for ZOMBIES 4: New magical minority group shows up, Addison really wants to insert herself into their group like what happened with the werewolves and aliens, they aren't having it, she gets all whiny and upset, and Zed finally calls her out on her behavior and breaks up with her, she's all sad but ultimately realizes her selfish behavior and changes for the better.
Does no one else think it’s narcissistic that Addison was just like "Yep, I’m the most important thing in Westbrook " without even consulting with anyone 💀
A-lan really spent 3 minutes on Earth, took one look at Zed and decided “this guy needs to be taken down a peg” which I respect. But like if there’s anyone who needs to be taken down a peg it’s Addison.
I feel addisons character couldve been much better if she had literally any other kind of trauma like some sort of facial scar that's difficult to hide. This would've justified people 'alienating' her and kids don't know what's insensitive so she would get really into makeup to hide herself and try not to stand out at all.
yeah it's always been funny to me that she's legit just a bit blonder than normal, lots of people go platinum blonde on purpose, I wish they had gone with that more unnatural white she had in the first movie, I wonder why they changed it to be blonder
I love how Addison thinks she doesn’t fit in just because she has white hair when there was a whole race who were isolated right next to them just for existing. I also love how we’re expected to feel bad for Addison more than anyone else because “At least Zed has the zombie community, she doesn’t have aNyOnE.” As if people don’t absolutely love her and never judge her for her white hair. She basically just made up these problems in her head and then got rewarded with super cool yet vague alien powers.
"You guys just don't understand me! There are a million zombies, a million aliens, a million werewolves, but only ONE girl with white hair! I'm like totally not human and my life is so hard!"
What gets me honestly is how Addison is easily able to get her alien powers a little while after she finds out she might be an alien (she 1/4 alien since grandma married human and mom married human) also how quickly she was like “okay I’m a 1/4 alien. Im going to leave my friends and family for beings who tried to destroy the town that I was literally raised in” like what? Girl make it make sense.
And the decision to leave them was like, so easy? We should have seen her struggle with the decision. It could have at least had the Aliens implore her to come with them as they are her people. 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.
One of the stupidest things is the fact that Addison is like “ I have nowhere to belong 😭” when literally Everyone loves her- zombies, cheerleaders, Wolfs. It’s so stupid. Her whole personality is attempting to be quirky and different and acts as if she is hiding herself all cuz she had white hair-and it’s more of a blonde anyways.
In zombies 4 she will be a mermaid😂😂 that would explain why every time she sings people follow her. Edit: Of course I know that this is the last movie It just a joke
Basically the zombie trilogy: Move 1: People are rascist towards zombies Movie 2: Addison embarrassed herself infront of a lot of people Movie 3: Addison is slightly more different than all the other kids Edit: nice 1k
Okay but how did Addison transform into a 100% super alien at the press of a button when she's like 25% alien? Wouldn't that be like one of those face scales and maybe a blue streak?
I would've thought that, too, and I'm kind of annoyed that they made it like an either/or thing when mixed heritage is more like a both, half, and neither thing all at once. But the character design is cute!
either they are bad at genetics or they are implyng that the aliens are hella powerfull considering a 25% could've turned into a monster alien imagine what the actual aliens would look like in monster form
I still can't believe they're still on Addison having white hair and wearing wigs is totally on the same level as the plights zombies, werewolves, and the aliens had to go through. Like girl, you have the perfect life, the perfect school life, everyone loves you, and you're conventionally attractive.
Addison is literally a skinny attractive white rich girl with perfect teeth, blonde hair, and blue eyes. There is nothing “wrong” with you and you fit in more than an Middle Eastern teen in the US would!
The only explanation I can think of is she plugged it into some random supercomputer and got coordinates. If we go with the made up narrative that she was being chased, then I guess she needed to hide it on Earth and didn’t know it was the utopia.
What’s crazy to me about Addison is the fact that she had problems with herself only because of some white hair, which honestly seemed more like a platinum blonde. Like, there are people with some real problems but Disney had to use a hair color to make her feel different and unusual?
Back when Disney Channel talked about real issues like eating disorders (The Suite Life), racism & discrimination (That’s so Raven & Ant Farm), diabetes (Hannah Montana), dyslexia (Shake it Up), cyber bullying (Austin & Ally) ect. But now we suppose to care about Addison ‘cause she’s platine blonde ?? Girl, it’s just a hair color. I don’t know but this reminds me this episode of Liv & Maddie when Maddie gets depressed just because she thought she was born the 5th but she’s actually born the 6th like they made an overdramatic plotline for this ?
What every character did in these movies: Zed: 1: helped zombies get better rights 2: ran for president 3: tried getting into college Addison: 1: helped the zombies and compared them to her hair 2: helped the werewolves and compared them to her hair 3: helped the aliens and was revealed to be one… after comparing them to her hair. Bucky: 1: was a giant a hole 2: was annoying 3: luckily wasn’t in it to much Eliza: 1: was bullied 2: protested 3: I don’t remember Main werewolf girl 2: howled and talked about moon stone 3: howled and talked about moon stone, while hating the alien Everyone else: Nothing of value… and I’m to lazy to rewatch and see what the aliens did.
Man, I'm so glad that Addison's "flaw" isn't something that's already considered "cool" and "attractive" by the majority, used in attractive fantasy character designs in almost every movie and series, because Disney refuses to give their character actual imperfections! Oh wait, *it is.*
Ikr..like id accept (a little bit better) if allison wears a prosthetic legs and always wears yoga pants because she has to always be perfect and like other humans
Can we talk about the fact that a major alien invasion happened. They literally blew stuff up and took them into custody. And the adults decide to let a bunch of teenagers interrogate them….. like what gives Bonzo and Zed The authority to be the ones to interrogate them?????
@@lydiabogan There kinda is though like a bunch of reasons. Anyways I offer you the redpill, take it if you want to leave Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. 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. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) 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. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666 R 1 Verses 1,3 tell us the prophecies began soon, “things which must shortly come to pass… for the time is at hand.” R 2 Letters to the church eras of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos and Thyatira; historically fulfilled from 33-1514 AD R 3 Letters to the church eras of Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea; historically fulfilled from 1514 AD to present. R 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD R 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. R 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.

R 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. R 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. R 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. R 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. R 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.

Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD
Okay, let's be real for a second. If a town went through both a zombie apocalypse and a pack of werewolves attacking, and somehow BEFRIENDED both of those... an alien invasion is the last thing they'd get up in arms about. Like, odds are they'd just be like, "Yeah, okay... the hell do you want? Most precious thing for coordinates? Yeah, sure, knock yourself out for a couple days, why not?..."
@@villain__9 Hold on, why exactly did they even do that outside of the writers needing people not to trust them? Like, doesn't that go against their whole reason for showing up? Since they believed they were looking for an object, wouldn't destroying half the town run the risk of destroying their coordinates forever? They also made it pretty clear they had no desire for violence, so destroying stuff out of nowhere on first immediate contact seems entirely out of character.
If literal demons came crawling up from hell, Seabrook would have accepted them in a heartbeat, then have them join the cheering team and football team....
Honestly, I feel like if Zombies had a little more emotional depth (and if Addison didn't keep trying to be a minority so she could feel "different") then it could be a lot better, cause I think the movies are cute and enjoyable and could have been great
Fr like despite cheesy cliches, it was a pretty harmless series and I actually like the first one even though the whole series was trying to make Addison "quirky"
I just realize that Addison reminds me of gay white people who pass as straight. They make their whole personality about how they are oppressed when no one would know unless you tell them. And they still wait so no one truly cares about them being a minority
Honestly, I was way more interested in Zed and co’s storylines but they kept being pushed into the periphery so we could watch Addison find herself or whatever.
@@ultimateghostfreak2343 I KNOOOWWW I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING Zed was actually my favorite character, and imo Flesh and Bone was actually a beautiful song despite some lyrical parts not making sense to me (Mostly the bridge Zed sings, the zombies didn't do anything wrong for the entire movie lol Zed just got jealous) With exceptional writing, anything is possible 😔 I just wish Zombies coulda had some
Personally I'm not sure what Addison is complaining about being an outsider with her hair. To me it looks like platinum blonde hair. How can anyone pity this character. Her life is perfect or almost nothing bad compared to what the other zombies and werewolves are going through.
the whole point is that she is different in a perfect society , its about the fact that she has no idea wear she came from, and she finds zed who isn't embarrassed to be different and everyones shocked at the fact that her hair is white, which isn't a very natural color
@@pickledidiot4569 yeah thats what i thought, in the first movie it was REALLY white when she took the wig off, but in the 2nd and 3rd it looked more blonde, but then again, its just a movie to entertain kids, the idea is that she doesn't know where she came from, and it could be just how it looks on camera, or its just the wig that they had her wear, her hair im the movie is supposed to be white but they probably just got a wig that looked more blonde idk
One thing that makes me mad is that Addison is like “My god it was so hard to have white hair” girl you didnt even tell anyone. You basically lived either a normal life
Not to mention she was the most popular girl in the school and her popularity didn’t even drop once she started dating Zed and stopped wearing that wig.
Addisons character makes me so angry. She acts like having white hair makes her oppressed. She is a conventionally attractive, straight white girl whose mother is the mayor. She could literally get away with murder. She is NOT oppressed.
Honestly, you are right! It would be better if she had purple hair ( at the end of movie: since her hair is blue). Of course, having a different hair color (like born purple) isn’t oppression. But, she could easily be bullied (maybe?) by her classmates. Edit: And of course, she needs to stop to say: ‘I totally understand how you feel.’ Like the aliens and werewolves and zombies have their different lives than her (a super privileged, beautiful woman)
@@riserose700 I think having green hair would be better, like people would mock her for looking like a zombie so her parents would also pressure her into hiding her hair Which essentially forces her to spiral into self hatred and holding a deep grudge against zombies which she slowly unlearns due to actually befriending a zombie and finally finding people who don't immediately judge her.
I actually hope that's a plot point in ZOMBIES 4. A new magical group shows up and Addison isn't connected to them in any way, shape, or form, but she can't accept that and keeps trying to make herself a part of their group until they get mad at her attention-seeking antics.
I have to admit there’s one scene in this film where Zed is scared of something and he huddles close to Addison and she holds him and it’s so cute how it subverts gender expectations of the guy always being the protective one in the relationship
So its said by other characters towards the end of the film that Bucky and Addison share a grandmother. That would mean that the grandma had more than one kid, but we only hear about Addison’s mum. And the grandma called Addison ‘her most precious thing’. What about Bucky? No wonder Bucky loves himself so much - someone had to, because his grandma obviously didn’t!!
@@bluesky.17 You can have the same grandma as your cousin and also have another grandma you don’t share lol. If Addison’s dad’s mom had more than one grandkid, that person is still not related to Addison’s mom’s mom
If Addison and Bucky share a grandmother, that means the grandma had at least 2 kids, each being either Bucky or Addison parent. So Addison got alien blood as her mom’s mom was an alien. But her mom would be siblings with one of Bucky parents meaning Bucky would have to have some of the grandmothers blood in him so yh. He could be part alien just as much as Addison. Or yh, the shared grandparent could be on Addison dad’s side so Bucky isn’t part alien.
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).
My brother watched it as soon as it came out. I walked in and asked him why the hell he was watching a kids show, and he simply responded: “I’m educating myself for Alex’s next episode.”
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.
It wasn’t that she didn’t know who she was and it was hard for her to feel like she had a place when everyone knew who they were and what they wanted and she felt like if she found that missing piece it would help her find who she was meant to be
There’s a third one?! Oh god! Side notes: Whoever created the storybook art at the beginning was working over time for this film. The cast also look like they are being held hostage at this point. Last thing: are there only Zombies in Seabrook? Are all the colleges in the country going to marginalize like, 20 people from a small, shitty town?
Honestly, the one thing that pissed me off was how addison the whole time was acting like her hair made her some sort of monster-equivalent. When she was still, up until this movie, a human. Like if they played into the whole Seabrook eutopia/dystopia thing and made them a lot more unforgiving for ANY kind of differences and showed the effects, maybe it could have worked ??? But like... the way they played her in this trilogy was SO... it wasn't great
Exactly. They kind of suggested that might be what was going on in the first movie, like it would have been reasonable to assume that the Seabrook residents were so disguised by zombies that any "abnormal" trait was seen as dangerous... but it persisted after the zombies got accepted so that quickly fell apart.
@@nataliavilla5114 I can suspend my disbelief for seabrook, but I can’t suspend it enough to believe an assh*le bigot like Bucky is actually popular and well liked
I like the part where she punches zed and claims reflexes. Even though her first punch zed caught and she had plenty of time to see it is zed and still threw that second punch lol
addison is the type of person who takes a genealogy test and finds out they have some small amount of a historical oppressed ethnicity in them and that becomes their personality
My neighbours oldest daughter is exactly like that, her father, who she never met is from Aruba, I was born there and my entire family lives there, speak the language and all that stuff. And she doesn't, she knows nothing about it, and act like she knows everything about the culture, let me add this, she's a typical 14 year old white girl who acts like she's 19
not only did the message of this movie suck, I'd also like to point out how SUCKY the mom was for letting Addison think she was different and alone and a freak for having white hair. Even if they kept the secret in the home she could have told her own daughter that she was like her.
Completely agree. I just don’t understand how Addison went all her life without realizing her mom was wearing a wig. And then, there’s the question of why would Missy go through all the trouble of hiding it from her own daughter, who has the same hair color? Where is the logic?
Zombies 3 is basically: Zed is on crack, Addison decided to be alien, the werewolves honestly kinda slayed (especially the song-), aliens being- robots, and everyone needs help
Rubbish?! Are you kidding me?! This movie was far from rubbish and was a great final film to wrap up one of the greatest final films ever made here! I don't even know why I keep going down the comments to the point that I am so sick and tired of seeing some people like you saying negative untrue things about one of the greatest franchises ever made here!
Can we talk about how Addison's "reflexes" supposedly made her hit Zed after she should have already been perfectly aware it was Zed, as she turned around, and threw a punch that he blocked, before the second one?
I would love to see someone rewrite this. 1. Make Addison actually a fleshed out character. Give her some type of reason to not like the hair she has. You don't even have to give her reason just have someone call out her bullshit. 2. Flesh out the zombies, werewolves, and aliens. I'd love to see more into their perspective and personalities. 3. If someone is writing about the theme of oppression just just Zombies 1, make sure it's actual oppression. Zombies need the Z bands to not hurt someone so they are actually dangerous if that band goes haywire.
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.
I just love how with each of these movies they do Addison's "white" hair better while at the same time making it more just an average platinum blonde colour also why the heck are her eyebrows dark brown if her natural hair colour is supposed to be white??? Edit: Ok ngl I LOVE the mix of blues they made her hair!
Also, in the first movie they said her white hair was unstylable and unable to grow beyond that weird punky bob she had, and then in the next two movies her hair is gorgeous and totally able to be styled. I can accept the rules of a universe, but if those rules are completely ignored, I get upset
@@PurpIe.Potato in the opening monologue of the first movie when addi talks about why she wears the wig. The reason she wears the wig is because they can’t dye or style the hair
Apparently, there's going to be a Zombies 4 (scheduled for release in 2025) so we know what her next identity is going to be. Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampire (yes, that's the actual title): I wanna be a vampire. I definitely know what it's like for them in whatever marginalization they represent, because I have white hair.
I’m honestly disappointed that Addison wasn’t kidnapped by her parents after accidentally crashing into Seabrook. That would have been much more interesting Edit: also, when all the aliens (including Addison) were beamed up by the ship, why wasn’t Addison’s mom also there?
That story would’ve made more sense but dark However if we are to derive it from canon, it as Addison grandma that crashed Addison mom wouldn’t get beamed up because she wasn’t in range to?
@@duckymomo7935well addison nor zed were in range they just so happened to get beamed up and since her mom is more alien than she is it makes no sense why she wouldnt get beamed up too
That joke about getting the scammed in the student loans and only being paid at $18 after getting a bachelor's degree will never not be funny and we'll only get funnier with time
Her complaining about her life’s problems is like rich ppl in the real world complaining about the small things that would be a privilege to lower class ppl
It confuses me how Addison did the whole transformation into a “werewolf” with the werewolves in the last movie, but then she ends up being an alien?? Like, make up your mind.
She was never a werewolf. The werewolves just dressed her up like one because they thought she was their leader. But when she put on the moonstone necklace it didn't work so it proved she wasn't a werewolf.
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. Anyways, that's all I'm giving to the third film, it made no sense whatsover lol
Zombies: Were isolated and discriminated Werewolves: Were forgotten about and nearly died from lack of their moonstones Aliens: Literally homeless Addison: "I have pLaTiNuM blOndE hair, I'm so depressed "
Next thing we know Addision’s Grandfather was a mermaid and her mother inherited the mermaid part and was the mermaid queen and now Addison is the mermaid princess
What you said about Allison in the end is 100% facts. The three species all suffered a LOT, and she saying how she can relate to them just because her here is white.
I'm 22 and I felt obligated to watch the movie because I watched the other ones (I was curious and lowkey excited ngl because my life is that uneventful😅) and even my 12yo brother was judging me 😂 But you know, sometimes, after a long day at work, all you need is a dumb kid movie to cheer you up. One good point about the movie tho is that they have great choreos.
Are we gonna just gloss over how Bucky stole the mothership at the end of the credits and is actually extremely dead because, according to the aliens, only their species can survive intergalactic travel on the mothership?
@@LexxusLights Not necessarily. Bucky and Addison might share a grandparent on the dads side which would mean Bucky isn't part alien. I don't think they specify but they only mention the grandmother having a daughter and don't mention any other kids, so I don't think Bucky is part alien. Even if he was, he'd probably still die, he's a little dumb 😅
tbh the one thing that annoyed me the most about ZOMBIES is how almost EVERYTHING revolves around Addison. 1st movie was about her falling in love and having white hair? I was cool with that. the second movie was about the wolves wanting Addison because she has white hair. Weird but ok. Now 3rd movie is about Addison being half alien and her mom knowing all along. And how every time something pops up suddenly it's all about Addison. Long story short, Addison is nOt lIke oThEr gIrLs.
If y'all want a story like zombies but it's actually good I'd suggest reading generation dead by Daniel waters. It focuses a lot more on the discrimination towards the "zombies" and one of them also plays on the football team. It's a really good series.
Honestly for DCOM standards? It was a good trilogy. It’s got good music, cool choreography, and interesting costumes. Also I really liked that there was a non-binary character, who fell in love with a man and a woman during the film. Although, it is a shame that gender queer characters always end up being aliens for some reason??
The non binary alien falling in love with whoever just bc was just so forced and stupid in my opinion it was hard to watch. There was no point to this movie, no message. I really hated this movie, the music was alright and the visuals were nice but thats the only enjoyable part in this movie but that’s just my opinion
@@roxi3969 I thought the part with ‘falling in love with whoever’ was poorly executed. Given a little more time it would make more sense. BUT they did make it clear that aspen is attracted to people who have strong emotions, compassion from Zed and Passion from the girl (I forgot her name). Besides, being lgbt+, sometimes I’m happy with ANY representation that isn’t offensive. Aspen’s non-binaryness was done well because everyone just adjusted to it immediately, it didn’t need to be apart of their character arch or even an important aspect of the show. However, the crushes were rushed. Two crushes in one movie?!? A bit much, should’ve just been the girl from the beginning rather than Zed.
@@macyskaggs3772 i agree. it was really rushed, but as also someone from the LGBTQ+ community, i was happy with the representation, too. also A-spen is literally me because i've had a crush on Zed and Willow since i saw those movies bahaha! the werewolf's name is Willow, just for your information! 😊
Zombies 3 is the best of the series -- it had me in stitches in the first ten minutes. My daughter enoys the series, so I watch it with her, but of the movies they've made, the first one is absolutely painful, the second was kinda fun (I was crossing my fingers the whole time Addison was not the Alpha of Alpha Hokage), but this third one is full of just so many random choices, dropped plots, comical single-minded focus, jarring 4th wall breaks....I couldn't stop laughing. Also, I am SO glad that Alex calls out the shift from the 'be yourself' messages to 'if you don't fit in, force it' of disney films these days
I personally agree. The first movie was a negative 1 out of 10. The second one was an 11 out of 10. And in my opinion, the third one was a billion out of 10.
Nah it was the worse- The first one had a good storyline and the second one was just good bc of the wolves and the songs honestly Addison gets more annoying every movie 💀
I remember that I kinda liked the first movie, there was some idea, I guess, and Addison was even likable (though I couldn’t understand what was so tragic about being naturally white headed, I mean, it’s nearly a platinum blonde which must be very popular all around the world nowadays), then the second movie came and I was like “Oh… The all became idiots”. 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
Addison saying over and over that she was an alien annoyed me so much. she was only 25% alien, the majority of her family were humans, yet she kept calling the aliens "my people"
I mean, as a mixed kid (my dad is Filipino, my mom is broadly European) I'm not about to criticize her desire to get in touch with her heritage, but she does disregard her human family awfully quickly. I would've thought she would have a conversation with her cousin Bucky, but he only addresses the bit where he, apparently, is also Angie and Eli's grandchild, when he's talking to the Aceys.
@@fairycat23 no yes i agree with you so much. i’m sorry if i offended you, wasn’t trying to say that she shouldn’t try to be in contact with that part of her family. i think i’m more annoyed that she says she doesn’t fit and and leaves with them right away when she had a great family and loving friends who really did care about her
This movie feels insanely rushed, as the acting was obnoxious and overall way too predictable. Even the plot feels like something that came out of a fanfiction from Wattpad. I get that the movie's thing is that they break the 4th wall sometimes, but they were constantly looking at the camera and speaking into it so much that it made me physically cringe. If they were going to give us a third movie, at the very least they could've added better development to the movie. Hell, this franchise could’ve just had a solo movie, and it would be way better.
Zombies didn’t need a third movie, a second one was fine. Aliens don’t even fit the monsters theme. They could’ve made it vampires or smt and it would’ve been better
I mean, the first movie was definitely a soft version of racism in the US (separated community, not equal rights, allowed to do only low-paid jobs, and more), so I guess it may work for children? 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. The problem I have, is that in the first movie we see that Zombies have their own culture, Werewolves are basically just howling around, and Aliens... They just are. Like the creators got lazy by every movie. Sorry for the long comment, here's a strawberry for you if you got here: 🍓
they seriously could’ve just ended it with the first movie. It wasn’t even that bad. but i didn’t like any of the characters in the second movie and the third one is just a mess
@@DarkKnightofAnime don’t compare that shit movie to zombies. Zombies is what the Monster high live action wanted to be. Look at Willa from this movie, she would’ve have been a way better clawdeen than that shitty thing
So so true. I was 8 when the series started and Now I’m 13. Younger me adored this series with all my heart but I really think they should have stopped at Zombies one. Zombies 2 even. But this movie was not needed AT ALL
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. Peak White lmao
Honestly yes lol. 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. Or even being a girl trying to fight back against gender stereotypes and norms could have worked better. But no, her struggles are “It’s so hard being a blonde white girl” when literally nobody has bullied her or gave a crap about her being a blonde white girl the entire time
@@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.
This series is really setting a bad example for kids. If you don't belong to a marginalized group you need to find a way to fit into one or you are a pastel plastic and if you are marginalized then you just need to will your way to a better life by finding a hot non-marginalized girlfriend to speak up for you. Just ugh the worst disney series by far.
I have two big questions in this movie: If Aspen is nonbinary and all the aliens share a consciousness, are all the aliens nonbinary? Also: If Addison is part alien, and the Mothership beamed all the aliens up including people who are only part alien, then why wasn't Addison's Mom beamed up with them? Hi Alex! I love your videos and was wondering if you've ever seen Mech X-4? Pearce Joza was one of the main characters and I'd love to see you poke fun of the show!
I mean it’s possible she was beamed up with them off screen, and sent back when they left (but that’s just me thinking, great theory!! I would’ve never though about that)
Did anyone think it was weird that Bucky and the "ace-ys" graduated at the same time as Addison and friends even though they were at least one grade ahead, likely two grades. Actually never mind "Disney channel movies, they don't always make sense"
@@ClaudetteVioletta they were freshman. But Bucky was a cheerleader and if you look the first movie and the first song he said that another year and I only get better. So he not a freshman. He a sophomore. With Lacey and Stacey.
Honestly, i kinda like this whole trilogy. Its dumb and i still don't understand what happens, but i somewhat like the songs. And also i think that the movie is very fun.
Alex talking about Addison made me realize that I love how realistic this movie is! A white girl co-opting issues that she never faced but other people do every day, because she wanted anything more exciting than her boring vanilla ass life, what could be more realistic than that?
I always hate this movie because Addison was a wannabe I’m white and even found her to be annoying person her trying to be different from other girls next will be zombies 4 and she be half related to VSCO girl ssssksksssss I would love to her being a vsco girl so I complain about vsco girls and there annoying personality trust me I know 4 visco girls and they are all annoying and so is there annoying personality and the other trashy zombies movies
the entirety of the movie is basically different aspects of racisism and then having the white girl (who's apparently not white by the weird ass lore) be the sole solution
Actually the reason Addison had to leave with them and bc they didn't scan the trophy immediately is bc the coordinates constantly changed so they had to have the thing with them constantly to actually figure out where the new planet was. And yes, I know my life is sad enough that I paid enough attention to remember something from a Disney channel movie.
Okay but it's still just a trophy. It's not like they couldn't just make another one. The moonstone, I get - it gives the werewolves their life and powers, so without it they'd be kinda doomed. The trophy is... well, it's a cheerleading trophy.
@@trianglemoebius if the most important thing was in the trophy they wouldn't be able to make another one. And if you actually read the comment you would know that isn't even what I was talking about
16:30 if you knew people who are grandparents you’d know that it’s so fucking true. They really do love their grandkids more than their own children lmao
I did enjoy the fact that Aspen was portrayed as a nonbinary, bicurious person, and that wad awesome. But I always wished the series would focus more on Zed, who actually did have struggles and had a pretty decent character arc.
@@annebanga5832 I feel like this movie is aimed at 8 and below and many 9 and ten. Sure older people can watch this! And I didn’t mind the non binary character either but it’s annoying when they throw these things in kid films.
Personally I hate Addison. She's way too nice and naive. She befriended the werewolves way too fast and next the aliens. The only thing about her personality is that she is a cheerleader and has a zombie boyfriend. It's ridiculous that they don't add anything else about her and Zed. Zed and Addison's relationship would improve if they had more flaws, techniques, and skills
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.
You gotta admit, as much as the trilogy, character developments, and plots are eh at most, the songs and choreography are really good. They're catchy, and the dance moves are promising (plus easy to learn for some of them). Also, since the songs happen every 10 or so minutes between dialogues, it's somewhat doable to figure out the plot based on the songs alone
"They're trying to spend alone time with you?" Is Aspen nonbinary? If Aspen is confirmed bisexual and nonbinary, I have to at least give Disney some points for that. Also, Rupaul as the mothership was a highlight of what is otherwise a cringe fest.
I looked it up and apparently the alien concept of "gender" is so different from ours (being that they are, you know, aliens) that all the aliens are functionally nonbinary. The fact that there are "male" and "female" aliens is just that their presentation is close enough to Terran gender that the earth-born characters assign them such. Also apparently their name is "A-Spen". All the aliens have names written like that ("A-li", "A-lan", etc.), presumably to give them a more extra-terrestrial flair. EDIT: Would this make Addison A-ddison, I wonder?
This movie makes no sense To be honest the first movie was alright The second one was kinda weird This is just- why does this exist??! Edit: I just realised Addison had to wear a wig on top of a wig in the first movie-
I actually genuinely enjoyed the first movie, but I do appreciate the messages of the second and third movie. For Addison, I don’t think it’s supposed to be about conforming to whatever group she wants to be a part of, but that she’s never really felt like she fit in with the people around her and wants to find where she fits in. It reminds me of how one of my friends just recently was diagnosed with ADHD and autism. She had said that it was actually a relief for her once she knew why she was different because she had always felt different from those around her and been a part of a variety of groups trying to find where she fit in or made sense, but once she knew part of why she felt different, she felt like she could be more in her own skin and stop trying to be what she wasn’t. So in that way, every time Addison finds a group of people that feels like outcasts, she connects with them in that way. Each time, she wonders if this is why she doesn’t fit in (mostly in the second and third one obviously, whereas she mainly empathizes with the Zombies in the first one). Addison finally learns why she’s different and it’s in that that she learns how to accept herself more.
13 minutes in, someone in a previous zombie movie video you did, absolutely saw it coming, and I kept thinking about it, and when this movie review you put on had all the sky stuff of things falling, i was like.... this one is going to be aliens, and she's going to be one. It just is like that sometimes, where the pieces fit too nicely. Now i'm not naive enough to not consider the possibility that they already knew because of when these movies were released relative to your plot-reads and anylsis.
I like how the main female lead had an identity crisis for two movies because her mom didn't tell her that she was like 1 quarter of an alien race
It kind off weird that she discriminates against monsters yet technically she half-alien and her grandmother spoke of unity and stuff like given her mission and all. It almost as if the concept for this series was poorly thought out. 🧐
@@SuperEasywalker exactly that’s what I thought too
@@SuperEasywalker internalised racism is a thing and that could be what her mom struggles with
And the most annoying part is she literally is loved and welcomed everywhere - cheerleading, with zombies, with Wolfs. She’s always belonged somewhere. She acts oppressed for having white hair- and it’s more of a blonde anyways
@@livvlife It literally gets more blonde as the series goes on.
I love how there's zombies, werewolves, and now there are aliens, but they only exist in this one town as if the rest of the world doesn't exist.
maybe seabrook has an unknown element in it that attracts supernatural beings towards it.
Oh yeah, like Gravity Falls
seabrook is actually gravity falls confirmed
*The rest of the world doesn't exist. There is only Seabrook.*
@@ProjektTaku like beacon hills in teen wolf ?
As soon as the aliens said “we need to find the most precious thing in Sea brook” I immediately was like “oh. It’s gonna be Addison, isn’t it.” Because that’s always how these movies go.
People complain about minority representation and the existence of queer characters making kids "confused" or encouraging them to be "snowflakes," but I'd actually argue "the popular, rich, white, blonde cheerleader with a perpetual identity crisis who is clearly meant to be the audience avatar and stands at the literal center of the universe, and also, her feelings are the most valid feelings of all" is an actually-bad message to send to kids.
Lol
@@dinosaysrawr I completely agree.
Ikr like it makes the character somewhat dislikeable
I figured it out in like the first 5 min
Addison’s issue with her white hair would’ve made way more sense of zombies had white and green hair. Then her white hair would scare people into thinking she’s a zombie, which would’ve been way more compelling. She would have to wear a wig to avoid people being afraid of her or thinking she’s a zombie. But no, turns out she’s just an a werewolf/alien or whatever.

@@FTChomp9980 I totally agree
the only point of yours that can make her be considered a mary sue is constantly being the chosen one. Being good at a hobby and being kind don't make you a mary sue.
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
Ikr 😭
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.
Another weird thing is that they call Addison “half alien” but it was her grandma who was the alien so isn’t she meant to be a quarter alien?
@@SomeGirlLol they said PART-Alien not HALF-Alien
@Chiommyo I MEANT IN THE MOVIE
Zombies: face discrimination every day
Werewolves: were mistreated and forgotten about
Aliens: literally homeless
Addison: well, my hair is slightly blonder than normal so I TOTALLY understand how you feel
FR AND FOR WHAT????
Addison is the drama queen of every high school in existence
Fr tho. 😂
Addison…can you just not try to relate to the people with real problems FOR FIVE MINUETS!!!!!
I cried laughing sooo hard I died💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Props to the person on the last video who predicted that the “A” in Addison would foreshadow her being an alien. Not a huge leap, considering all the zombies have “Z” names and the werewolves have “W” names, but still, good on you whoever you are. You predicted the idiocy.
Also, can Addison’s mom do an alien transformation too? Because Addison is only 25% alien while her mother is 50%, so I feel like her mother should be able to do that too.

There is a lot I have a problem with in this trilogy, but it seems like Addison just gets dumber the older she is and there’s no character growth in her. She acts like one little minor inconvenience ruins her whole life. She has an amazing group of friends, she’s popular, her parents go along with whatever crazy adventure she wants to go on, and she acts like she can relate to everyone else’s problems, and can’t recognize her own privilege.
Yp
And her victim complex is intense. Her boyfriend was oppressed his whole life and continues to experience racism, and she has white hair and says “I know how you feel” then she decides to take off her wig and not hide her hair anymore, she is TOTALLY accepted and becomes the most popular girl in school, and still says she knows was oppression is like
@@CoconutMigrationCommittee I completely agree with this. Addison wanted to be oppressed so bad to relate but she couldn’t because she never had to be oppressed. To me the character is just really annoying.
@@CoconutMigrationCommittee Tbh I wish they would just lean into this.
Plot for ZOMBIES 4: New magical minority group shows up, Addison really wants to insert herself into their group like what happened with the werewolves and aliens, they aren't having it, she gets all whiny and upset, and Zed finally calls her out on her behavior and breaks up with her, she's all sad but ultimately realizes her selfish behavior and changes for the better.
@@CoconutMigrationCommittee she was not accepted for her hair like for what? 20 minutes? And from there everyone accepted and... You know, move on?

but she can't cause she's god mary sue senpai ALL HAIL HER!
mad respects to my boy A-lan.
I feel addisons character couldve been much better if she had literally any other kind of trauma like some sort of facial scar that's difficult to hide. This would've justified people 'alienating' her and kids don't know what's insensitive so she would get really into makeup to hide herself and try not to stand out at all.
ALIENating her (i'm so sorry)
I could agree
Or have a tail, I mean, there's zombies and werewolves, sky is the limit lol
@@ccrisc100 naw a tail wouldve been perfect😂
yeah it's always been funny to me that she's legit just a bit blonder than normal, lots of people go platinum blonde on purpose, I wish they had gone with that more unnatural white she had in the first movie, I wonder why they changed it to be blonder
I love how Addison thinks she doesn’t fit in just because she has white hair when there was a whole race who were isolated right next to them just for existing.
I also love how we’re expected to feel bad for Addison more than anyone else because “At least Zed has the zombie community, she doesn’t have aNyOnE.” As if people don’t absolutely love her and never judge her for her white hair.
She basically just made up these problems in her head and then got rewarded with super cool yet vague alien powers.
I think you missed the point of the message and addison’s intentions and u just come off as a cynical dick
you it's kinda messed up because the zombies used to be human
Fr
this was the dumbest comment I've ever read.
"You guys just don't understand me! There are a million zombies, a million aliens, a million werewolves, but only ONE girl with white hair! I'm like totally not human and my life is so hard!"
What gets me honestly is how Addison is easily able to get her alien powers a little while after she finds out she might be an alien (she 1/4 alien since grandma married human and mom married human) also how quickly she was like “okay I’m a 1/4 alien. Im going to leave my friends and family for beings who tried to destroy the town that I was literally raised in” like what? Girl make it make sense.
here Addison take this capri sun full of C4 and calm down would ya?
And the decision to leave them was like, so easy? We should have seen her struggle with the decision.
It could have at least had the Aliens implore her to come with them as they are her people. 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.
YES she had known them for like a week or two and decided to leave her boyfriend, family and friends just to supposedly fit in
One of the stupidest things is the fact that Addison is like “ I have nowhere to belong 😭” when literally Everyone loves her- zombies, cheerleaders, Wolfs. It’s so stupid. Her whole personality is attempting to be quirky and different and acts as if she is hiding herself all cuz she had white hair-and it’s more of a blonde anyways.
In zombies 4 she will be a mermaid😂😂 that would explain why every time she sings people follow her.

your edit:
Okay but how did Addison transform into a 100% super alien at the press of a button when she's like 25% alien? Wouldn't that be like one of those face scales and maybe a blue streak?
I would've thought that, too, and I'm kind of annoyed that they made it like an either/or thing when mixed heritage is more like a both, half, and neither thing all at once. But the character design is cute!
either they are bad at genetics or they are implyng that the aliens are hella powerfull considering a 25% could've turned into a monster alien imagine what the actual aliens would look like in monster form
Maybe they want to make it seem like a recessive gene thing, like red hair.
I guess but her mom had white hair too
@@joaopedrofm1299 Oh, writers for kids media are often bad at genetics. Just look at Warrior cats.
I still can't believe they're still on Addison having white hair and wearing wigs is totally on the same level as the plights zombies, werewolves, and the aliens had to go through. Like girl, you have the perfect life, the perfect school life, everyone loves you, and you're conventionally attractive.
Addison is literally a skinny attractive white rich girl with perfect teeth, blonde hair, and blue eyes. There is nothing “wrong” with you and you fit in more than an Middle Eastern teen in the US would!
@@kenthuang436 the weirdest part is that her eyebrows don't match her hair, and she could fix that.
Like I genuinely don’t underStand wtf her problem is
So let me get this straight. She hid the key to the “utopia” on the utopia? Why didn’t she just tell them it was the utopia?
@@CNMU I wasn't really asking the reason narratively, more reasonably.
So the movie can happen is the only reason I can come up with
While we’re at it, why did she hide the key in the first place? Was she being hunted by stormtroopers or something?
She said her ship was shot down. Maybe there was a chase? But if so, the movie could have just actually explained that.
The only explanation I can think of is she plugged it into some random supercomputer and got coordinates. If we go with the made up narrative that she was being chased, then I guess she needed to hide it on Earth and didn’t know it was the utopia.
What’s crazy to me about Addison is the fact that she had problems with herself only because of some white hair, which honestly seemed more like a platinum blonde. Like, there are people with some real problems but Disney had to use a hair color to make her feel different and unusual?
Back when Disney Channel talked about real issues like eating disorders (The Suite Life), racism & discrimination (That’s so Raven & Ant Farm), diabetes (Hannah Montana), dyslexia (Shake it Up), cyber bullying (Austin & Ally) ect. But now we suppose to care about Addison ‘cause she’s platine blonde ?? Girl, it’s just a hair color. I don’t know but this reminds me this episode of Liv & Maddie when Maddie gets depressed just because she thought she was born the 5th but she’s actually born the 6th like they made an overdramatic plotline for this ?
They could’ve just said she was born with it but no we had to go down the rabbit hole to see the lore about Addison hair.

Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. 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. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
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.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

Okay, let's be real for a second. If a town went through both a zombie apocalypse and a pack of werewolves attacking, and somehow BEFRIENDED both of those... an alien invasion is the last thing they'd get up in arms about.

@@villain__9
Hold on, why exactly did they even do that outside of the writers needing people not to trust them? Like, doesn't that go against their whole reason for showing up? Since they believed they were looking for an object, wouldn't destroying half the town run the risk of destroying their coordinates forever?
They also made it pretty clear they had no desire for violence, so destroying stuff out of nowhere on first immediate contact seems entirely out of character.
EXACTLY you think they’d learn to help ppl by now
If literal demons came crawling up from hell, Seabrook would have accepted them in a heartbeat, then have them join the cheering team and football team....

@@z3onixnah cause’ all zombies have to have z,o,m,b,I,e, or s in their name
Honestly, I feel like if Zombies had a little more emotional depth (and if Addison didn't keep trying to be a minority so she could feel "different") then it could be a lot better, cause I think the movies are cute and enjoyable and could have been great
Fr like despite cheesy cliches, it was a pretty harmless series and I actually like the first one even though the whole series was trying to make Addison "quirky"
I just realize that Addison reminds me of gay white people who pass as straight. They make their whole personality about how they are oppressed when no one would know unless you tell them. And they still wait so no one truly cares about them being a minority
Honestly, I was way more interested in Zed and co’s storylines but they kept being pushed into the periphery so we could watch Addison find herself or whatever.
'zombies two' had some great emotional depth, especially with the 'flesh and bone' song that can be referred to for so many circumstances
@@ultimateghostfreak2343 I KNOOOWWW I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING
Zed was actually my favorite character, and imo Flesh and Bone was actually a beautiful song despite some lyrical parts not making sense to me (Mostly the bridge Zed sings, the zombies didn't do anything wrong for the entire movie lol Zed just got jealous)
With exceptional writing, anything is possible 😔 I just wish Zombies coulda had some
The zombies franchise is a perfect example of a series that only needed one movie
Fr the first one was so gud it's just been a decline
Facts like after ONE movie leave it alone!!!
The second one was good but the fact that the moral they learn is literally the same every movie is dumb
Exactly
The first movie was pretty good ngl but then they had to go and make 2 sequals
Personally I'm not sure what Addison is complaining about being an outsider with her hair. To me it looks like platinum blonde hair. How can anyone pity this character. Her life is perfect or almost nothing bad compared to what the other zombies and werewolves are going through.
Yea she is a typical white girl who thinks her life is so hard due to one small issue and thinks it comparable to how minorities feel.
It’s like Tall girl… she’s just tall. No one would dunk on her because she’s tall. Most would be jealous of her…
the whole point is that she is different in a perfect society , its about the fact that she has no idea wear she came from, and she finds zed who isn't embarrassed to be different and everyones shocked at the fact that her hair is white, which isn't a very natural color
@@elariamakrouna2046 I think the main problem is that her hair isn’t white tho. it doesn’t look unnatural at all, just platinum blonde
@@pickledidiot4569 yeah thats what i thought, in the first movie it was REALLY white when she took the wig off, but in the 2nd and 3rd it looked more blonde, but then again, its just a movie to entertain kids, the idea is that she doesn't know where she came from, and it could be just how it looks on camera, or its just the wig that they had her wear, her hair im the movie is supposed to be white but they probably just got a wig that looked more blonde idk
One thing that makes me mad is that Addison is like “My god it was so hard to have white hair” girl you didnt even tell anyone. You basically lived either a normal life
Not to mention she was the most popular girl in the school and her popularity didn’t even drop once she started dating Zed and stopped wearing that wig.
Addisons character makes me so angry. She acts like having white hair makes her oppressed. She is a conventionally attractive, straight white girl whose mother is the mayor. She could literally get away with murder. She is NOT oppressed.
Honestly, you are right! It would be better if she had purple hair ( at the end of movie: since her hair is blue). Of course, having a different hair color (like born purple) isn’t oppression. But, she could easily be bullied (maybe?) by her classmates.
Edit: And of course, she needs to stop to say: ‘I totally understand how you feel.’ Like the aliens and werewolves and zombies have their different lives than her (a super privileged, beautiful woman)
the extra blonde hair looked like if disney was trying to make her have hair syndrome
They should’ve done the obvious and showed her actually persecuted by the people of Seabrok or something.
@@riserose700 I think having green hair would be better, like people would mock her for looking like a zombie so her parents would also pressure her into hiding her hair
Which essentially forces her to spiral into self hatred and holding a deep grudge against zombies which she slowly unlearns due to actually befriending a zombie and finally finding people who don't immediately judge her.
@@idontexist1966 That would be better! Since, she is the daughter of the major. Their parents would pressured her a lot more!
I don't even watch Disney movies. I watch Alex's channel ONLY for his side commentary. This episode especially knocked it out of the park! Well done
I honestly couldn't relate more to this comment
These movies could've been a little more tolerable if Addison wasn't linked with literally everything
For real In the second one she was going to be a werewolf
I actually hope that's a plot point in ZOMBIES 4. A new magical group shows up and Addison isn't connected to them in any way, shape, or form, but she can't accept that and keeps trying to make herself a part of their group until they get mad at her attention-seeking antics.
@@deen7530 great idea

I have to admit there’s one scene in this film where Zed is scared of something and he huddles close to Addison and she holds him and it’s so cute how it subverts gender expectations of the guy always being the protective one in the relationship
So its said by other characters towards the end of the film that Bucky and Addison share a grandmother. That would mean that the grandma had more than one kid, but we only hear about Addison’s mum.
And the grandma called Addison ‘her most precious thing’. What about Bucky?
No wonder Bucky loves himself so much - someone had to, because his grandma obviously didn’t!!
Bucky was most likely from the dad's side of the family
Yeah, people usually have 2 biological grandmothers
@@joell.899no , it was said in the movie that Addison and Bucky have the same grandma. So Bucky could be partly alien.
@@bluesky.17 You can have the same grandma as your cousin and also have another grandma you don’t share lol. If Addison’s dad’s mom had more than one grandkid, that person is still not related to Addison’s mom’s mom
If Addison and Bucky share a grandmother, that means the grandma had at least 2 kids, each being either Bucky or Addison parent. So Addison got alien blood as her mom’s mom was an alien. But her mom would be siblings with one of Bucky parents meaning Bucky would have to have some of the grandmothers blood in him so yh. He could be part alien just as much as Addison.
Or yh, the shared grandparent could be on Addison dad’s side so Bucky isn’t part alien.
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).
WHY ARENT U THE WRITER? U DID A BETTER JOB THAN THEY DID
I'm not reading that
@allealex! Thanks! And @Storm Trooper, fair enough.
you shouldve been the writer omg this shows way more development than in the movies
I have been way too invested in this thing and I love it
My brother watched it as soon as it came out. I walked in and asked him why the hell he was watching a kids show, and he simply responded: “I’m educating myself for Alex’s next episode.”
Lolllll
and everybody clapped
10:42 - love how she had like at least a solid 10 seconds to look at Zed but proceeded to punch him anyway.
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.
Fr and like Addison is so oppressed wanting to be anything besides a human like u don’t got to be a monster
I know, she was ANNOYING, she is the example of people who are down low attention seekers. 😒
It wasn’t that she didn’t know who she was and it was hard for her to feel like she had a place when everyone knew who they were and what they wanted and she felt like if she found that missing piece it would help her find who she was meant to be

Honestly, the one thing that pissed me off was how addison the whole time was acting like her hair made her some sort of monster-equivalent. When she was still, up until this movie, a human. Like if they played into the whole Seabrook eutopia/dystopia thing and made them a lot more unforgiving for ANY kind of differences and showed the effects, maybe it could have worked ??? But like... the way they played her in this trilogy was SO... it wasn't great
Exactly. They kind of suggested that might be what was going on in the first movie, like it would have been reasonable to assume that the Seabrook residents were so disguised by zombies that any "abnormal" trait was seen as dangerous... but it persisted after the zombies got accepted so that quickly fell apart.
The "her mom's real name is like A pLaCeNtA or something" got me 🤣🤣🤣13:01
The Zed plotline was actually really good. Addison is a whole mess, tho. Most of my issues with this movie revolve around her nonsense behavior.

addison is the type of person who takes a genealogy test and finds out they have some small amount of a historical oppressed ethnicity in them and that becomes their personality

Completely agree. I just don’t understand how Addison went all her life without realizing her mom was wearing a wig. And then, there’s the question of why would Missy go through all the trouble of hiding it from her own daughter, who has the same hair color? Where is the logic?

"Take us to your leader... Your cheerleader"
You just know this whole movie was made because someone thought of that line
I would love to see someone rewrite this.
1. Make Addison actually a fleshed out character. Give her some type of reason to not like the hair she has. You don't even have to give her reason just have someone call out her bullshit.
2. Flesh out the zombies, werewolves, and aliens. I'd love to see more into their perspective and personalities.
3. If someone is writing about the theme of oppression just just Zombies 1, make sure it's actual oppression. Zombies need the Z bands to not hurt someone so they are actually dangerous if that band goes haywire.
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.

Also, in the first movie they said her white hair was unstylable and unable to grow beyond that weird punky bob she had, and then in the next two movies her hair is gorgeous and totally able to be styled. I can accept the rules of a universe, but if those rules are completely ignored, I get upset

I’m honestly disappointed that Addison wasn’t kidnapped by her parents after accidentally crashing into Seabrook. That would have been much more interesting

It confuses me how Addison did the whole transformation into a “werewolf” with the werewolves in the last movie, but then she ends up being an alien?? Like, make up your mind.
I’m pretty sure these movies are being written as they go along
Don’t think u paid attention at all
@@madnessarcade7447 meaning?
I think her dad was a werewolf but she didn't become full werewolf because the Z-Band drained the moonstone powers
She was never a werewolf. The werewolves just dressed her up like one because they thought she was their leader. But when she put on the moonstone necklace it didn't work so it proved she wasn't a werewolf.
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.

@@uarmyalo But then why does Bucky not have white hair, and why don't they mention that the scout leader had more than one child?
tbh the one thing that annoyed me the most about ZOMBIES is how almost EVERYTHING revolves around Addison. 1st movie was about her falling in love and having white hair? I was cool with that. the second movie was about the wolves wanting Addison because she has white hair. Weird but ok. Now 3rd movie is about Addison being half alien and her mom knowing all along.

Honestly for DCOM standards? It was a good trilogy. It’s got good music, cool choreography, and interesting costumes. Also I really liked that there was a non-binary character, who fell in love with a man and a woman during the film. Although, it is a shame that gender queer characters always end up being aliens for some reason??
The non binary alien falling in love with whoever just bc was just so forced and stupid in my opinion it was hard to watch. There was no point to this movie, no message. I really hated this movie, the music was alright and the visuals were nice but thats the only enjoyable part in this movie but that’s just my opinion
@@roxi3969 I thought the part with ‘falling in love with whoever’ was poorly executed. Given a little more time it would make more sense. BUT they did make it clear that aspen is attracted to people who have strong emotions, compassion from Zed and Passion from the girl (I forgot her name). Besides, being lgbt+, sometimes I’m happy with ANY representation that isn’t offensive. Aspen’s non-binaryness was done well because everyone just adjusted to it immediately, it didn’t need to be apart of their character arch or even an important aspect of the show. However, the crushes were rushed. Two crushes in one movie?!? A bit much, should’ve just been the girl from the beginning rather than Zed.
@@macyskaggs3772 i agree. it was really rushed, but as also someone from the LGBTQ+ community, i was happy with the representation, too. also A-spen is literally me because i've had a crush on Zed and Willow since i saw those movies bahaha! the werewolf's name is Willow, just for your information! 😊
Disney movie's first leading non-binary character 🥰
Zombies 3 is the best of the series -- it had me in stitches in the first ten minutes. My daughter enoys the series, so I watch it with her, but of the movies they've made, the first one is absolutely painful, the second was kinda fun (I was crossing my fingers the whole time Addison was not the Alpha of Alpha Hokage), but this third one is full of just so many random choices, dropped plots, comical single-minded focus, jarring 4th wall breaks....I couldn't stop laughing.
Also, I am SO glad that Alex calls out the shift from the 'be yourself' messages to 'if you don't fit in, force it' of disney films these days
I personally agree. The first movie was a negative 1 out of 10. The second one was an 11 out of 10. And in my opinion, the third one was a billion out of 10.
Yes thank you
Alpha of Alpha hokage 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah it was the worse-
The first one had a good storyline and the second one was just good bc of the wolves and the songs honestly Addison gets more annoying every movie 💀
One of my top 5 favorite moments is when the aliens sing 'don t be afraid of us cause we're not dangerous' right after they blow up a building
I remember that I kinda liked the first movie, there was some idea, I guess, and Addison was even likable (though I couldn’t understand what was so tragic about being naturally white headed, I mean, it’s nearly a platinum blonde which must be very popular all around the world nowadays), then the second movie came and I was like “Oh… The all became idiots”. 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
Addison saying over and over that she was an alien annoyed me so much. she was only 25% alien, the majority of her family were humans, yet she kept calling the aliens "my people"
That kinda reminds me when ppl from USA say IM LATINO OR LATINA and only their grand grand grandma was latinoamerican lol
@@joghissing4634 riiiiiiight

I mean, as a mixed kid (my dad is Filipino, my mom is broadly European) I'm not about to criticize her desire to get in touch with her heritage, but she does disregard her human family awfully quickly. I would've thought she would have a conversation with her cousin Bucky, but he only addresses the bit where he, apparently, is also Angie and Eli's grandchild, when he's talking to the Aceys.
@@fairycat23 no yes i agree with you so much. i’m sorry if i offended you, wasn’t trying to say that she shouldn’t try to be in contact with that part of her family. i think i’m more annoyed that she says she doesn’t fit and and leaves with them right away when she had a great family and loving friends who really did care about her
This movie feels insanely rushed, as the acting was obnoxious and overall way too predictable. Even the plot feels like something that came out of a fanfiction from Wattpad. I get that the movie's thing is that they break the 4th wall sometimes, but they were constantly looking at the camera and speaking into it so much that it made me physically cringe. If they were going to give us a third movie, at the very least they could've added better development to the movie. Hell, this franchise could’ve just had a solo movie, and it would be way better.
Zombies didn’t need a third movie, a second one was fine. Aliens don’t even fit the monsters theme. They could’ve made it vampires or smt and it would’ve been better
I mean, the first movie was definitely a soft version of racism in the US (separated community, not equal rights, allowed to do only low-paid jobs, and more), so I guess it may work for children? 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.
The problem I have, is that in the first movie we see that Zombies have their own culture, Werewolves are basically just howling around, and Aliens... They just are. Like the creators got lazy by every movie.
Sorry for the long comment, here's a strawberry for you if you got here: 🍓
Agreed
they seriously could’ve just ended it with the first movie. It wasn’t even that bad. but i didn’t like any of the characters in the second movie and the third one is just a mess
@@Cupcakecat58 vampires were in moonstone mystery
“DO NOT WINK AT ME SIR” SLAP* I canttttt 🤣😅🤣🤣🤣
I love how zombies 1 is supposed to appeal to a younger audience, but it's been 4 years and the "younger audience" has probably outgrown the series 😂
I think the Zombies films are trying to be a live action Monster High at this point
@@DarkKnightofAnime don’t compare that shit movie to zombies. Zombies is what the Monster high live action wanted to be. Look at Willa from this movie, she would’ve have been a way better clawdeen than that shitty thing
@@SofiaTheFirst. i did say trying to be like them
@@DarkKnightofAnime well they aren’t it’s the other way around
So so true. I was 8 when the series started and Now I’m 13. Younger me adored this series with all my heart but I really think they should have stopped at Zombies one. Zombies 2 even. But this movie was not needed AT ALL
There’s a third one?!?
That's what I'm saying!
Exactly why does a third one need to exist
Yes there is
Yeah it came out a couple days ago
Pac man’s a bad guy?
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. Peak White lmao
Honestly yes lol. 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. Or even being a girl trying to fight back against gender stereotypes and norms could have worked better. But no, her struggles are “It’s so hard being a blonde white girl” when literally nobody has bullied her or gave a crap about her being a blonde white girl the entire time
@@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.
@@jesushchrist6172 Actually, she was being "bullied" for having a lighter shade of blonde than them 😭 I CANT THIS THIS SERIES
This series is really setting a bad example for kids. If you don't belong to a marginalized group you need to find a way to fit into one or you are a pastel plastic and if you are marginalized then you just need to will your way to a better life by finding a hot non-marginalized girlfriend to speak up for you. Just ugh the worst disney series by far.
I’ve never seen someone use the word white so many times in one comment
16:12 the map isnt a what ti is a who and its-a me Mario
Underrated
I have two big questions in this movie: If Aspen is nonbinary and all the aliens share a consciousness, are all the aliens nonbinary? Also: If Addison is part alien, and the Mothership beamed all the aliens up including people who are only part alien, then why wasn't Addison's Mom beamed up with them?
Hi Alex! I love your videos and was wondering if you've ever seen Mech X-4? Pearce Joza was one of the main characters and I'd love to see you poke fun of the show!
Who told you Aspen was non binary. Just wondering
@@mcflurry2061 I think it's the fact that all the characters refer to Aspen using They/Them pronouns
@@mcflurry2061 Disney has said that A-spen is non-binary.
they’re non-binary and (according to the wiki) dating the leader of the wolf pack or something
I mean it’s possible she was beamed up with them off screen, and sent back when they left (but that’s just me thinking, great theory!! I would’ve never though about that)
Did anyone think it was weird that Bucky and the "ace-ys" graduated at the same time as Addison and friends even though they were at least one grade ahead, likely two grades.
Actually never mind
"Disney channel movies, they don't always make sense"
EXACTLY I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
Were they?
@@ClaudetteVioletta they were freshman. But Bucky was a cheerleader and if you look the first movie and the first song he said that another year and I only get better. So he not a freshman. He a sophomore. With Lacey and Stacey.
Only logical answer is held back
He probably failed a grade and had to repeat
18:24 brooo I feel the exact same about her, cuz in every movie she’s all like “I’m special! My hair means something! I know I have a place!”
Honestly, i kinda like this whole trilogy. Its dumb and i still don't understand what happens, but i somewhat like the songs. And also i think that the movie is very fun.
Alex talking about Addison made me realize that I love how realistic this movie is! A white girl co-opting issues that she never faced but other people do every day, because she wanted anything more exciting than her boring vanilla ass life, what could be more realistic than that?
addison playing white savior is even funnier because of her white hair, not be mistaken for her dark brown eye brows.
I always hate this movie because Addison was a wannabe I’m white and even found her to be annoying person her trying to be different from other girls next will be zombies 4 and she be half related to VSCO girl ssssksksssss I would love to her being a vsco girl so I complain about vsco girls and there annoying personality trust me I know 4 visco girls and they are all annoying and so is there annoying personality and the other trashy zombies movies
the entirety of the movie is basically different aspects of racisism and then having the white girl (who's apparently not white by the weird ass lore) be the sole solution
Addison is basically the new Marnie from Halloweentown.
So let me get this straight-she hid a map to earth on earth? WTF?
No.
The main character convinced them all that Earth was better then the paradise that her grandma found.
@@Dragonage2ftw No she showed them that the coordinates led to earth on the ship machine. Her grandma was referring to earth as utopia.
Actually the reason Addison had to leave with them and bc they didn't scan the trophy immediately is bc the coordinates constantly changed so they had to have the thing with them constantly to actually figure out where the new planet was. And yes, I know my life is sad enough that I paid enough attention to remember something from a Disney channel movie.
Okay but it's still just a trophy. It's not like they couldn't just make another one.
The moonstone, I get - it gives the werewolves their life and powers, so without it they'd be kinda doomed. The trophy is... well, it's a cheerleading trophy.
@@trianglemoebius if the most important thing was in the trophy they wouldn't be able to make another one. And if you actually read the comment you would know that isn't even what I was talking about
16:30 if you knew people who are grandparents you’d know that it’s so fucking true. They really do love their grandkids more than their own children lmao
I did enjoy the fact that Aspen was portrayed as a nonbinary, bicurious person, and that wad awesome. But I always wished the series would focus more on Zed, who actually did have struggles and had a pretty decent character arc.
No but like the pretty white girl feels sad sometimes, so…
I feel like the non binary thing was annoying really annoying actually
@@Tayy_Tayy why? (im genuinely asking)
@@annebanga5832 I feel like this movie is aimed at 8 and below and many 9 and ten. Sure older people can watch this! And I didn’t mind the non binary character either but it’s annoying when they throw these things in kid films.
I liked zed's arc and development as much as I hated addison's
Personally I hate Addison. She's way too nice and naive. She befriended the werewolves way too fast and next the aliens. The only thing about her personality is that she is a cheerleader and has a zombie boyfriend. It's ridiculous that they don't add anything else about her and Zed. Zed and Addison's relationship would improve if they had more flaws, techniques, and skills
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.
You gotta admit, as much as the trilogy, character developments, and plots are eh at most, the songs and choreography are really good. They're catchy, and the dance moves are promising (plus easy to learn for some of them).
Also, since the songs happen every 10 or so minutes between dialogues, it's somewhat doable to figure out the plot based on the songs alone
Addison wants to be everything. Part off the zombies, werewolf’s and now aliens!
"They're trying to spend alone time with you?"
Is Aspen nonbinary? If Aspen is confirmed bisexual and nonbinary, I have to at least give Disney some points for that. Also, Rupaul as the mothership was a highlight of what is otherwise a cringe fest.
Yeah its cannon lol
WHY DO YOU THINK ASPEN IS NONBINARY
@@Hazelbazelwastaken uhh everyone in the movie refers to Aspen's pronouns as they/them??
I looked it up and apparently the alien concept of "gender" is so different from ours (being that they are, you know, aliens) that all the aliens are functionally nonbinary. The fact that there are "male" and "female" aliens is just that their presentation is close enough to Terran gender that the earth-born characters assign them such.
Also apparently their name is "A-Spen". All the aliens have names written like that ("A-li", "A-lan", etc.), presumably to give them a more extra-terrestrial flair.
EDIT: Would this make Addison A-ddison, I wonder?
@@Hazelbazelwastaken it’s canon, look it up
This movie makes no sense
To be honest the first movie was alright
The second one was kinda weird
This is just- why does this exist??!
Edit: I just realised Addison had to wear a wig on top of a wig in the first movie-
Omg I had that same thought process about the wig situation haha
I actually genuinely enjoyed the first movie, but I do appreciate the messages of the second and third movie.
For Addison, I don’t think it’s supposed to be about conforming to whatever group she wants to be a part of, but that she’s never really felt like she fit in with the people around her and wants to find where she fits in.
It reminds me of how one of my friends just recently was diagnosed with ADHD and autism. She had said that it was actually a relief for her once she knew why she was different because she had always felt different from those around her and been a part of a variety of groups trying to find where she fit in or made sense, but once she knew part of why she felt different, she felt like she could be more in her own skin and stop trying to be what she wasn’t.
So in that way, every time Addison finds a group of people that feels like outcasts, she connects with them in that way. Each time, she wonders if this is why she doesn’t fit in (mostly in the second and third one obviously, whereas she mainly empathizes with the Zombies in the first one). Addison finally learns why she’s different and it’s in that that she learns how to accept herself more.
13 minutes in, someone in a previous zombie movie video you did, absolutely saw it coming, and I kept thinking about it, and when this movie review you put on had all the sky stuff of things falling, i was like.... this one is going to be aliens, and she's going to be one. It just is like that sometimes, where the pieces fit too nicely. Now i'm not naive enough to not consider the possibility that they already knew because of when these movies were released relative to your plot-reads and anylsis.
