@@SerenityScratch but they had to train, yknow it gan take up to a year to film a movie and they had to be trained TRAINED. Like really. And the scenes may be under 30 seconds, but the time it took to film the 30 seconds or less can take up a few hours.
Jimin's Thighs ツ yea, they did train. In another video they also mentioned that each underwater scene isnt longer than 30 seconds. Of course it takes practice. Being underwater with a 14 kilo tail while acting and moving is seriously hard, even for 30 seconds. They definitely needed training for that, its not easy. But the scenes aren’t filmed more than 30 seconds, as they mentioned in other behind the scenes videos. I am guessing this is due to safety reasons and it is much harder to do dynamic breath holds than static ones.
Jimin's Thighs ツ It’s not about filming, its about breath holding. I mentioned nothing about the filming process. I am aware that it would take longer than 30 seconds, obviously. But I was referring to their breath hold for each scene. They dont film more than 30 seconds underwater while holding their breath. Each breath and scene is no longer than 30 seconds.
Man, there needs to be more mermaid shows and movies. I love mermaid lore, so I’m kinda bummed that I’ve basically watched everything that exists about mermaids at this point, and now there’s nothing left🧜♀️ 😢
MissMabelLouise Unfortunately yeah. There’s just nothing left for me T^T I even watched that god awful ‘little mermaid’ live-action knock off on Netflix 😭
MissMabelLouise Have you watched the Barbie movies about mermaids? They’re pretty fun, honestly. Barbie: Fairytopia Mermaidia, Barbie in a Mermaid Tale, Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2, Barbie: the Pearl Princess, Barbie Dolphin Magic (not my favorite one, but still decent) You should give them a watch if you haven’t already, and if you’re open to it 😁 (Btw, the first one i mentioned is the 2nd movie in a trilogy, but I think you can still watch it as a stand-alone)
@@nightmare-tu9oh as a merman,it was beyond his control to desire for the trident. You can't use that as an excuse to hate him. He's drawn to it anyway so what the point
Ok but H2O solidified me wishing I could be a mermaid. I ended up making a fully functional mermaid tail as my senior project. So yeah it impacted me as a teenager.
I’ve watched Mako Mermaids, in my late 20’s and it’s terrible but I kind of love it. By the end of it the original 3 mermaids weren’t even a part of the series anymore just mentioned in passing so viewers had a reason for their disappearance.
So the two series are related but the pureblood, for lack of better words as I'm more used to the vampire genre (that isn't live-action tv-shows or most western modern takes except for Darren Shan), saw that 3 girls became mermaids, went like "they'll probably keep it a secret because that's what teen girls do" and did nothing to help them figure out their powers. Only to pop up when some guys appear there and say "there has never been guys here! And if it's something guys are known for is it gossip!" and try to -stalk- follow them around in case they let it slip. But those girls did absolutely not need any follow up...
Honestly, I don’t know why they were blamed for Zac falling into the moon pool… it was a classic wrong place at wrong time situation with repercussions that don’t make any sense 😂
I couldnt even get past the first episode of that. They changed the characters so much and the storyline too. It didnt have to be a carbon copy of H2o but it could have been closer to the source material.
In mako mermaids, mermen are evil. That’s why the pod had a big freak out about how Zac was now a merman, because they are very dangerous creatures. And since he has a connection to the island the pod had to leave because it was now too dangerous for them to stay there

I assumed that since mermen are clearly more rare than mermaids, you need a mermaid and a mermen to make a mermen (as in the case of Mimmi and Zac who are brother and sister) while mermaids on their own don’t need mermen to generate other mermaids. I used to think that they left their eggs in the moon pool and the moon did the rest but the show doesn’t give any evidence for that.
It's weird how when we were kids being between the ages 16 - 18 seemed like practically full grown adults. But in reality, I'm about to be 17 and I still feel like a fetus
H2O was my favourite show as a kid (and I recently watched it again and it's still great) but everytime my little sisters turn in Mako Mermaids I turn it off immediately, I personally think its really bad.
I found this show on Netflix. I liked it. I wish they dove more into Zac's Merman ancestry and the war between mermaids and mermen. Zac's biological mom is beautiful.
I LOVED H2O as a kid, so when they announced the Mako Mermaids was gonna be a thing, I was soooo hyped. It’s good for a kid but doesn’t hold a torch up to H2O lol
I actually prefer mako mermaids as a concept because there's a lot more options for where to take the show, for example the trident idea, and the merman chamber. You can't have that in H2O cause there are no mermen. And then on top of that, the idea of "real" mermaids opens up more possibilities for magic spells, more interesting and dangerous threats, and new ideas. I think H2O was the stronger show overall, and I agree that it was better written but Mako Mermaids is a lot more gripping, even if it does feel a bit more like something that stays in your childhood
@@philiprivers669 I would say h2o is stronger because they didn't change that many actresses, but mako mermaids has better shots and editing. And I hate Zane.
I was dying laughing at 4:40 I live in Australia and my brothers name is Zac and he used to get drunk at parties and wake up on the beach all the time 😂😂
My sister threatens that she will tell everyone that I still watch Maiko mermaids if I be mean to her. But jokes on her I’m still gonna keep on beating her up because I shamelessly love this show. I’m also sitting looking at all of my mermaid Murch and wondering am I gonna regret this in five years yep I’m gonna regret this in five years.
I- I felt like you read my mind when you said that H2O was arguably the best show and that mako mermaids is looking for a fight... H2O was my childhood life ok
I mean tbh siren is a more realistic version of being a fish person 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen H2O and Mako Mermaids one thousand times.... but SIREN IS THE SHITTTTTT 🤪
@Quisle pixel *DO IT!!!* It's the best mermaid show ever!And the reason is that in *that* show mermaids are not just"human girls with a fishtail",they are *actually* another species!
@@contessa8817 I know..in Italian there's a real mess because we call"Sirene"both the creatures that are half-women-half-fish(mermaids)and the ones that are half-women-half-birds(sirens).And let's not forget the harpies,that are basically ugly sirens.
Mami Mermaids is technacly the continued on version of H2O just add water where rikki, Chloe, and meme are adults, and it shows the lives of the real mermaids... (Not sure any of this makes sense since it's 2 in the morning... :/)
I never thought that, the camera quality of this show is 10x better than H2o. The storyline and range of characters got a lot better to. Honestly, mako mermaids is such an improvement to H2o in my opinion.
I agree people say about the quality but mako mermaids is too fake like they are not simple like h20, h20 looks real and mako mermaids just is so random like.... Edit: for example the way to enter the moon pool, the h20 one is simple and the mako mermaids one is just like what?
well, let's be honest here... Netflix REALLY has some weird shows and their original movies are usually.. not good. 😂 so.... there is truth to that^^ (of course it also has good shows and movies)
Right, so I guess he's reviewed literally every show on Netflix and calls them weird and it's not like he just specifically only picks the ones that are weird yeah??
You know what’s even weirder about this show is that turns out, Zack was a merman THE WHOLE TIME. Like he was actually born a merman but was raised as human 😂
Mili Rodriguez That would have been hilarious if they decided to give him The Talk. “Listen son, when you reach a certain age your body goes through changes.”
@@jbcatz5lol that would have been interesting if from the start when they first adopted him(found him at the beach) they knew he was the son of a mermaid but since they got him as a baby,they didnt really knew his origin
@@tianayoung5565 Towards almost the end of the show,he ends up finding out that he is related to a certain mermaid in the show(trying not to spoil it too much)
This show traumatized me as a young child. All it took was one look at the water dimension-portal thing where the trident was held and I now fear any body of water larger than a bathtub.
The original mermaids wanting to keep their secret hidden and Zac just going around showing his powers off is the H2O/Mako mermaids version of the 'Why Women Live Longer Than Men' meme 😂
Until this day I thought that mako mermaids was the American version of h20.... As an Aussie, I sentence my self to a liv in prison for not knowing this
"I survived 16 years in Australia so I'm like, invincible or something."

I've seen the spiders and even your cute animals wanna kill people..
Australia is where the animals kill you, and South Africa is where the people kill you. The Southern Hemisphere is insane, man.
“You can swim in my moon pool whenever you want” best words from Alex
It's weird how when we were kids being between the ages 16 - 18 seemed like practically full grown adults. But in reality, I'm about to be 17 and I still feel like a fetus
You didn’t mention that the moon pool from H2O is waaay different than the moon pool in mako mermaids
Sunniva Mari it reconstructed itself. Or the pod reconstructed ut
@@thesarahdilemma9752 but when Rikki returns and visits it, she says it looks the exact same from when she first became a mermaid lmao
Right lol
I did

Doing things that dude friends do:

Same
@Sela Roberson Nope
Same but later un the series she was good to me:>
@@joshuatkf well Evie got better in Season 2 and 3, because Season 1 she was just so vanilla until the last 2 episodes
Fun fact later in the series she becomes a mermaid too 😅
In Australia, these shows are still on TV all the time. They’re still classics over here. 😂
H2O was my favourite show as a kid (and I recently watched it again and it's still great) but everytime my little sisters turn in Mako Mermaids I turn it off immediately, I personally think its really bad.
Jasmine Murphy same
Yeah I agree
They're both bad especially H20 jUsT aDd WaTeR
Mysterion The Guardian Angel lol but it was literally my childhood so it’s forever in my heart no matter how terrible
The h20 superiority complex is real
Guy: *falls in*
Main Girl#2: "he fell in..."
"Convincing" character we'd rarely see: "StOp LyInG!"
I found this show on Netflix. I liked it. I wish they dove more into Zac's Merman ancestry and the war between mermaids and mermen. Zac's biological mom is beautiful.
The faces bit is literally the best thing ever

michaelwants_anotherslice pizza i mean they’re also in the water with heavy tails so idk man
“So now you’re all pregnant and Jesus is crying”
Me after seeing this video: So what’s new
I LOVED H2O as a kid, so when they announced the Mako Mermaids was gonna be a thing, I was soooo hyped. It’s good for a kid but doesn’t hold a torch up to H2O lol
.....no me preferring mako
I actually prefer mako mermaids as a concept because there's a lot more options for where to take the show, for example the trident idea, and the merman chamber. You can't have that in H2O cause there are no mermen. And then on top of that, the idea of "real" mermaids opens up more possibilities for magic spells, more interesting and dangerous threats, and new ideas. I think H2O was the stronger show overall, and I agree that it was better written but Mako Mermaids is a lot more gripping, even if it does feel a bit more like something that stays in your childhood
@@philiprivers669 I would say h2o is stronger because they didn't change that many actresses, but mako mermaids has better shots and editing. And I hate Zane.
I was dying laughing at 4:40 I live in Australia and my brothers name is Zac and he used to get drunk at parties and wake up on the beach all the time 😂😂
I'M DEAD💀
Y’all I used to watch this with my brother, and anytime he was mean I was threatened to tell his friends that he watched it with me😂
My brother watched the show with me too!😂
My sister threatens that she will tell everyone that I still watch Maiko mermaids if I be mean to her. But jokes on her I’m still gonna keep on beating her up because I shamelessly love this show. I’m also sitting looking at all of my mermaid Murch and wondering am I gonna regret this in five years yep I’m gonna regret this in five years.
@@izyanimations9417 ummm...what? beating your sister isn't cool fam..
@Emblem that person is obviously not beating her up
@@emblem8018 its an expression lmao
I- I felt like you read my mind when you said that H2O was arguably the best show and that mako mermaids is looking for a fight...
H2O was my childhood life ok
Blacking out and just being somewhere is typically Australian.
I mean tbh siren is a more realistic version of being a fish person 😂
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen H2O and Mako Mermaids one thousand times.... but SIREN IS THE SHITTTTTT 🤪
@Quisle pixel *DO IT!!!* It's the best mermaid show ever!And the reason is that in *that* show mermaids are not just"human girls with a fishtail",they are *actually* another species!
A fish person? But a siren is more like bird person.. with the head of a woman and the body of a bird..
@@contessa8817 I know..in Italian there's a real mess because we call"Sirene"both the creatures that are half-women-half-fish(mermaids)and the ones that are half-women-half-birds(sirens).And let's not forget the harpies,that are basically ugly sirens.
I would love to watch Siren, I just don’t know where I can watch it from the start
@@ChloeNarice I watch it here because I can get Italian subtitles... fastsubita.com/serietv/siren/
As an Australian myself I can confidently say that we do in fact have fire breathing sharks and mysterious glowing caves
*It’s 7am but when Alex uploads about mermaids u already know I’m there*
tbh i really didnt like Mako Mermaids it felt like a dollar store version of H2O
Mami Mermaids is technacly the continued on version of H2O just add water where rikki, Chloe, and meme are adults, and it shows the lives of the real mermaids... (Not sure any of this makes sense since it's 2 in the morning... :/)
I never thought that, the camera quality of this show is 10x better than H2o. The storyline and range of characters got a lot better to. Honestly, mako mermaids is such an improvement to H2o in my opinion.
I mean but the dragon thing was pretty cool to me-
More like netflix original version of it
I agree people say about the quality but mako mermaids is too fake like they are not simple like h20, h20 looks real and mako mermaids just is so random like....
Edit: for example the way to enter the moon pool, the h20 one is simple and the mako mermaids one is just like what?
I guess every show on Netflix is considered “weird.”
well, let's be honest here... Netflix REALLY has some weird shows and their original movies are usually.. not good. 😂 so.... there is truth to that^^ (of course it also has good shows and movies)
Right, so I guess he's reviewed literally every show on Netflix and calls them weird and it's not like he just specifically only picks the ones that are weird yeah??
Excuse me... but A Series of Unfortunate Events is amazing and you can fight me
Yep so damn true👍
Don’t be salty. Most of these teen shows suck lol
after 6 years of thinking it was pronounced "mah-ko"
I have been shamed
But they say mako all the time in the show...?
Kaya ikr
they're just americans don't mind them
Kaya oh haha ok I never actually watched the show, my friends just used to discuss it all the time
i watched the dubbed thing and they pronounce it like that so...
H20: Gucci
Mako Mermaids: walmart
PyroShayNiac for me it was the other way round for me mako mermaids was wayyy better
People like Walmart
@@aidan564 i agree
Gp2 Engine we all have our own opinions and for me H20 was awful .. the acting wasn’t good
Gp2 Engine yeah true
Anyone going to think about the fact that Alex literally watched this whole series.... He is literally a 30 year old man 😂
i mean he’s like a big kid 🥴 i’m sixteen and i still watch the power puff girls. some people justs have very childish personalities
@@briannab5138 thats so true...
I'm 31 and my favorite TV show of all time is Batman: The Animated Series.

BowWowsbaby92 CLEOWRRR
I WATCHED THIS SHOW RELIGIOUSLY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
I don’t regret it
No.
Lemme tell you- THIS SHOW IS SO ADDICTING. I watched it every morning, and every moment possible.
You know what’s even weirder about this show is that turns out, Zack was a merman THE WHOLE TIME. Like he was actually born a merman but was raised as human 😂
One of the things that still bugs me till this day is that we never saw his parents reaction when he told them he was a merman!
Mili Rodriguez That would have been hilarious if they decided to give him The Talk. “Listen son, when you reach a certain age your body goes through changes.”
Wait how do you know?
@@jbcatz5lol that would have been interesting if from the start when they first adopted him(found him at the beach) they knew he was the son of a mermaid but since they got him as a baby,they didnt really knew his origin
@@tianayoung5565 Towards almost the end of the show,he ends up finding out that he is related to a certain mermaid in the show(trying not to spoil it too much)
"You can swim in my moon pool, anytime." 😂😂😂😂
The funny thing is that it's pretty accurate since Lyla will develop a crush on Zac later in the show...
You mean Kirishima, right
@@user-bg6iy3ry7b 😳😳😳😳
@@ElkorGod 😏😏😏😏😏
The few last episodes of the show were my favorite when rikki comes in and mimi and zach gets their real mom and stuff.
I agree
This show traumatized me as a young child. All it took was one look at the water dimension-portal thing where the trident was held and I now fear any body of water larger than a bathtub.
one of the mermaids was in a tv show called “me and my monsters” that shiz was popular for kids in the uk
omg i remember that show
“don’t feel sad and lonely if you need someone to hold your hand, me and my monsters can”
Wait oh my yes my god I remember that but also remember lightning point with Lucy fry that show was the shit
Glenda Reitze OMGGG yessss!!
“Is it a great show or the greatest show” Oh Alex you sumamagun😂😂😂
No body.
Not even a single soul.
Mermaids: Australian accent
It’s an Australian show.... with Australian actors..... who have Australian accents???
That was literally my question the whole series 💀 6:35
Yeah Mako was sooo weird and could never beat H20
FakeAssBitch 1989 I think it was way better than H20
It was actually better than h2o
I'm australian, and going into mermaids caves happen *all the time*
I JUST LOVE HIS CONTENT AM I RIGHT OR WHAT HE'S SUCH A SWEETIE
The original mermaids wanting to keep their secret hidden and Zac just going around showing his powers off is the H2O/Mako mermaids version of the 'Why Women Live Longer Than Men' meme 😂
Once again who didn’t try to turn into a mermaid because of this show!
Brookie i know I did✋🏾😂
Sadly, yes
u make the series so damn funny. I’d rather watch ur reviews on series than actually watch them lmaooo
You should watch “The edge of 17”. It’s a teen romcom with a ton of cursing and a little devils tango.
