      I don’t think it’s just the movie that ruined The Suite Life, but also The Suite Life on Deck (mainly the third and final season of the entire series aka the “On & Off Again Cailey Relationship Drama”).

    Maturing is realizing that Zac and Cody’s mom was a poor single women trying her best to keep her head above the water. Yea it was a nice hotel but they were still so poor that they had to stay there in order to survive. They shared a one room suite and she slept on the pull out sofa. It really made me feel good about myself and how I grew up. That show was so ahead of its time dude.

      ⁠@@fusakei1825 You’re comparing book smart to street smart. When you meet academically gifted people and put them in social situations, they crumble. That’s because they spend more time studying than socialising. Whereas athletes spend more time socialising than studying which is where we get the “dumb jock” blueprint.
      So many TV shows/movies have explored this troupe where the “jock” teaches the “nerd” how to be cool in exchange for the nerd helping the jock with his homework. Book smart and street smart are two completely different things and you can excel in one but struggle in the other.
      Cody throughout the entire series showed little to no street smarts. There were moments where he’d ramble and people would either zone out or walk away displaying low self awareness. I recall Zack having to routinely teach his brother how to interact with people in social situations.

    24:40 I think making Cody not get into his dream university despite his intellect is a great decision on the writers' part. It's a very realistic struggle that gifted kids have to deal with at one point in life-failing and realizing that they're not going to be the smartest person in the room forever, especially if they don't have the right work ethics and soft skills. It's also a good lesson to every kid in general that sometimes life just doesn't go your way, and things won't always go according to plan. You might not get into that one university you want despite working hard on it, and that's okay. There's always other paths you can follow. I also feel it's a very fitting end for his character.
    The rest of the video I mostly agree with, and find very entertaining. I love it when people talk about this series, and I think you did a great job.

Knowing Cody though, he probably only sees Yale as an option and the rest is just for formality.

      @@MrNostalgia well originally Disney planned to make another Suite life series. The episode kind of hints at that where Zack says “we’ve lived in a hotel, and a cruise ship, what’s next?” They were originally supposed to take the two brothers to LA and have them get into mischief as adults with Selena Gomez as the new female in the series. That series would’ve likely ended with the brothers parting ways. The sprouse twins didn’t like that idea and pitched their own, Disney laughed in their faces so they left. Essentially the ending to On Deck was left open ended because this show was set to be made.

And also because they wanted to get producer credit because they wanted to be producers of their final season because they wanted to do one more season for the fans. And because of the fact that they didn't want their crew to lose their jobs. Nope Disney completely betrayed them in the end which is why I do believe that we will never get a reboot.

    As a kid, the one thing I easily hated most about this movie is how it treated Bailey. Sure, she's a dumb teenager like the rest of the cast, so it's not unheard of for her to get upset her boyfriend is taking off without her during spring break.
    HOWEVER
    Cody was taking a program that could give him so many opportunities after high school. In fact, it's out of character for Bailey to not want in on it upon hearing about it, since she's also a brainy know-it-all like Cody. Even worse is that they reduce her to the cliche "I'm mad at my SO so I'm gonna ghost them and let my anger fester to the point I take it out on other couples" trope the rest of the movie.

I'm glad she has a spin-off, but That's So Raven was massive and was the longest running show before Wizards of Waverly Place. It's just weird how she was the face of the network for a while and her show was just over.

The way it ends shows had more living ahead of them and that the characters' struggles don't end with the show. I still hate the movie though but I do like how it attempted to deconstruct and wrap up the rivalry between the characters (even if it was completely botched through the movies misunderstanding of the characters themselves)

    I actually loved the movie's tone and story, if only because it brought back something that had been missing during the last season of the Suite Life and that was Zack and Cody's bond, because in the earlier seasons they clearly cared about each other above everything else. Suite Life on Deck, I felt like they hated, genuinely hated each other, which just didn't vibe with me. The movie fixed that bond and to me if this was how they ended the series, it would've been a cool ending to me.

    I think they wanted to make the ending to the series more open ended because they were originally gonna bring the show back but the sprouse twins fell out with Disney channel so it never came about. That’s why the movie was meant to basically be a character journey between Zack and Cody. They didn’t really develop the characters despite the tone shift and instead did what a normal episode of the show would do but at an extended time period.
    We also have to take into account that season 2 and 3 of suite life on deck leaned very sci-fi James Bond-type episodes. Most of them not even being dreams. As the show became more of a Disney XD show, they went harder with generic boy stuff.
    I don’t think this tainted the ending of suite life because most people did like the actual finale as it took the show back to its simple and humble beginnings, it was so good, many people just flat out forgot the movie existed.

    You know, the funniest thing for me is that I don't think it ruined the Suite Life legacy, because its usually forgotten or just not brought up, also I think this movie attempted to have what I think the series was lacking, at least in terms of what some fans wanted, twin bonding, because in the show it was weird if we got some fluff between those two, they just took it way too far and in a very different direction, I think a better outcome to the movie and therefore the show wouldve been have this movie be about Zack being lost in life and without knowing what to do now that school's almost over, Cody helping him figure that out, having Cody not getting into Yale (which I think its a good choice, since as someone said this often happen with gifted kids), him experiencing failure for the first time at such a big scale, and Zack helping him realize that it's not the end of the world, he has a bright future and there are other universities that would gladly take him, that's the movie, so by the end of the show they can announce that Idk he got into Columbia or Brown or something like that, and Zack idk maybe start doing something with his forgotten but existent carpintery skills?

    I think the main problem with this movie is that it just can’t stand on its own two legs, it’s trying to telll a story inside a story that was already going on, instead what they should have done is tell us a story that happened after graduation, like what did Cody do after not getting into college, what about bailey’s life in college, does she get a roommate that’s like Maddie and a rival like London? Does Zack end up with a job at the hotel, what if the twins both ended up working there? What’s the conflict? What are the motives there, what about a High School Reunion? How does that happen? You SEE The possibilities here? Missed opportunities here, but hey I still like the concept of the film but I just wish it was it’s own thing and not a tie in with the season, that way there is proper motives and feelings.

    So, this is just me spitballing here:
    If I were to make a Suite Life movie, I would go the Die Hard route: the kids, after graduation, return to the hotel for a giant celebration. Bring everyone back, from Maddie, to Carey, Esteban, Arwin, Agnes, and everyone's favorite character, Bob. When suddenly, uh-oh! Home Alone 3 style robbers arrive and take the Tipton Hostage, forcing Zack and Cody to be a two-man John McClain and put their ever growing rivalry aside to stop the bad guys and save the day.
    Is it a good idea? No. But at least it would have the slightest spirit of the original show, and wouldn't have a superpower to be seen.

    If there's one thing this movie did right, it was recognizing Matthew Timmons (aka Woody) as a main character instead of a supporting character. I say this because he had been apart of Suite Life On Deck since day one and way never introduced in the intro but rather the end of every episode. For some reason that always upset me, especially when Doc Shaw was added to the intro for the final season.

    21:52 ...or a Gravity Falls episode since it's an actual fantastical Disney show about twins.
    Yeah, I didn't love the movie. It was barely funny, flanderized most of the characters and it veered way too much into its' supernatural concept. To be fair, On Deck has been doing that since the second season literally starting with a spy episode. Or arguably, The International Dateline from season 1.
    I've been a fan of The Suite Life Saga (that's what I call the franchise) and they deserved better than this.
    Here's how I would've made a Suite Life Movie: a heist movie. The SS Tipton stops at a location that we haven't seen go to. Egypt or wherever. Through the franchise's typical highjinks, Zack and Cody fight over a never before seen treasure 🪙 through hilarious dumb luck and they take it with them. But this causes a rift between them that might just be what ends their relationship for good. Forcing London, Bailey, Woody, Maya and Addison to take sides. But when an evil Indiana Jones type character finds out about it, he or she or they hold the ship hostage and steals it to take over the world or something. So the kids and Mr Moseby (and maybe Ms. Tutweiler) have to team up to steal it back from their secret lair. Using what they learned from the six years they spent together to fool the villain and take back the treasure, because nostalgia. Throughout the adventure, the cast try to convince Zack and Cody to forgive each other and slowly but surely, they do. They win the day by the characters doing something crazy like crashing a helicopter into the villain's lair and they get the treasure back but not before an epic fight scene. The villain is defeated, Cody and Bailey kiss, Zack and Maya kiss, Woody and Addison kiss and London acts as though she's kissing herself all at the same time. And they use the treasure to fix the SS Tipton's damages as opposed to whatever Zack and Cody want.
    It's less ridiculous than the plot of this movie, but just ridiculous enough to feel like a longer Suite Life episode, all of the characters have something to do and the twins' relationship can still be strained with the characters having more of a say in what happens in the movie.
    I have another pitch for how I'd bring back The Suite Life Saga but this comment is long enough as it is.

    I always said that if someone didn't talk about the Suite Life Movie, I would do it myself somedat... but I'm glad I don't have to now because this was a BANGER. I always had a soft spot for the movie but then I always hated the series finale of Suite Life On Deck because I thought that it was rushed and just not satisfying. I never knew the reason as to why the show ended the way it did... until now, and it makes perfect sense. If the show did create a movie that was consistent with the plot of the show and more so just a slice of life movie where Zack goes through character development, the ending would've probably been the best the channel has ever had. It's unfortunate, as the brothers worked for Disney for such a long time, but I'm glad they've moved onto greater things.

    There were also a lot of continuity problems with Hannah Montana the Movie as well. Jackson graduates and goes off to college in the movie, but after the movie airs he is still in high school on the show. Even if you argued the movie aired out of order from the show, in the episode Lilly and Oliver become a couple, Jackson is interviewing for college. Yet in the movie, Lilly talks about wanting to date a cowboy and is seen with one at the very end.
    The issue with Hannah Montana the Movie is that it was filmed before they even began filming the third season, so there were plot points introduced in the third season that were not even conceived when making the movie. Also, the writers for the show were not involved with the production of the movie, so they didn't know of any of the plot points until midway through the production of season 3.
    However we don't know when exactly the third season of the Suite Life on Deck or its movie were filmed, but it could be a similar situation.

    even as a kid, i liked Suite Life on Deck fine enough but i didn't like it nearly as much as the original Suite Life series (though i still always preferred seasons of Zack and Cody 1 and 2 and felt like there was a sharp dip in quality in season 3). Zack and Cody felt, oddly enough, more grounded than On Deck, and so it could rely more on actually good writing and characters. On Deck felt like the showrunners saying "wow we got some CGI budget and a green screen let's go fucking NUTS." and even _still_ the movie was absolutely the worst part. i didn't really like it as a kid, it was too conceptually confused and annoying.

Instead they went in for the magical elements of being twins as doubled down, and it seems like it really is separate and more magical than anything we actually saw on Sweet Life on Deck.

    I feel like live action kids shows aren't so popular anymore. At least not compared to animated kids shows. They used to be so popular, that they got their own movie, theatrical or made for TV. The last of these being Big Time Movie from 2012, 10 years ago!!! Kyle Norty did a pretty good review of the movie from someone who barely watched the show. As well as this movie and the latter third DCOM I'm about to mention.

    Funny thing was, The Suite Life Movie was the first of three DCOMs based on Disney Channel shows that came out in 2011: this, Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension and Good Luck Charlie It's Christmas.
    I've heard from people my age that they still watch Nick and Disney Channel but only for the animated shows. I mean, I get it. Most of the current live action shows from either Disney or Nick have either been mediocre or just plain bad. But as far as recent live action kids shows that are worth looking at: Sydney to the Max, Secrets of Sulphur Springs, The Villains of Valley View and Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion from Disney Channel and Drama Club, The Astronauts, Side Hustle and Warped from Nickelodeon. I'm in my 20s and I enjoy all of them.
