    I need to plead a case for Backstage and Dance Academy😭 I feel like a lot of the reasonings for lower scores for DA are things that have a lot of growth and development throughout the whole show, so I would love to hear more of your thoughts on these things once you finish Dance Academy.
    With Backstage, I think there are elements of the show that couldve got a higher rating if they were remembered. For example, Vanessa ans Beckett in season 2 are one of if not the best ship on the show. And other serious topics are discussed too in the show that werent mentioned. Not to say the overall score for them was bad, Im perfectly happy with it, I just think opinions would be different for sure if other parts of the show were remembered.
    All this to say.....please please make another video about dance academy when you finish the show (and movie) I so curious to hear your thoughts on it. Season 2 i think is the best season of the show but S3 displays a lot of growth for the characters.

    I personally really love Backstage. The music was a big reason why, but also Alya and Miles were such a good ship. I grew to really love Vanessa and Beckett, I feel like they were well done. I also enjoyed that Kit and Scarlett were adopted siblings, I think that is really cool. I personally have a sibling that is adopted and it was cool to see that in a show. It isn't something that is touched on with a lot of media. I also ended up relating to Vanessa quite a bit, as I have had injuries with my feet that were difficult to process and difficult to recover from.

      @Jasmine N. Well “Backstage” is a Tv show that focused on drama. My friend and her ex-boyfriend described their performing arts highschool as more of a middle school, because it was for middle & high schoolers. Their graduating class was the 2nd graduating class ever & only had 12 students for their graduating class. My friend picked art and she said the school did have great opportunities for the students. There was also a lot of people who went to the school and then transferred later for a normal highschool experience. That’s just one art school though.

    I actually go to a magnet school for theatre, and out of the ones on this list I’ve seen, I think I’d have to say Backstage is somewhat the most realistic. We all just kinda do our own thing and go to normal classes along with our arts classes. I think my school looks like a normal school besides a recording studio and the fact that it’s just kinda shaped weird. My only problem with Backstage is that there’s a lot more collaboration between all the performing arts academy’s at my school that we don’t really see in the show, but there is a lot more than just arts at my school so that might be why.

    I grew up watching Violetta, so personally it's the best series for me. Sometimes I find myself singing their songs. I think it was one of the most successful Disney series here in Argentina. With merch everywhere. Also, Tini is arguably one of the most successful artists in Argentina. so Violetta is always remembered here. that is one of the reasons why soy luna and bia received hate in their time although soy luna also had a cultural impact.

    • @aleksandrakeska2290
      @aleksandrakeska2290 Před rokem +1

      It was the same in Europe. Violetta merch was literally everywhere and all kids & teenagers at least knew about Violetta. It even shows how many countries in Europe concerts were held. In my country, people started learning Spanish through Violetta, which made the cast very surprised. Soy Luna had definitely much less success (I think a lot of people had "it's fake Violetta", "I'm too old for this" hence less popularity). When they finished Violetta and announced a new series (or the very beginning of the series) I remember HUGE hate for Soy Luna. Violetta was a real international revolution, Soy Luna was popular and Bia was irrelevant

  • @Thehoneybea
    @Thehoneybea Před rokem +36

    Erm disagree completely. Dance academy is a 9/10 at least, it explores so many important topics like eating disorders, coping with death, parents who wont let you follow your dreams, pushing yourself too far ect. Plus even though tara is the narrator and shes sort of the typical main character, the other characters get to stand out and have their own characterisations, and usually they have their own episode that focuses on them and they voiceover their episodes.

    So what you're saying is I should watch Find Me In Paris? XD
    As a Tori defender, I appreciated your rating/take on her. She def deserves critique at times, but I always felt that her character made sense as written being the anchor of their wacky friend group. Also, I always appreciated how the show didn't go the expected route with it's ships. I'm glad Beck/Tori never happened, and instead Bade stayed endgame and Jori became *kinda* friends (tho in my in mind Jori is the ultimate endgame)
    I haven't watched Dance Academy in a hot minute but I do remember hating Tara lol. Though, I did like Kat, so was surprised by your take, but maybe would make sense if I watched it more recently. However, I did really like Sam and Abigail. And I just found the show to be mostly entertaining due to the plots that I had rarely seen done before in a show like it so glad to see you give it points for that.
    I also constantly wonder how the heck they run the Studio in Violetta lol but it's definitely up there with me next to Hollywood Arts. I agree Vilu was her best self in s2, and was disappointed how off the rails she went in s3 with the Roxy storyline and like you said "put León through it" lol. But I really liked them again in 3B and just find them to be really lovable when they're at their best and even find some of their lighter arguments kind of funny. But your points are valid, I just surprisingly really love Leonetta despite their shortcomings *shrug*

    • @fernandavaladares5952
      @fernandavaladares5952 Před rokem +4

      Also, i think people don't appreciate enough Tori's character development. We go from her going behind her friends back and kissing Cat's boyfriend to her realizing that friendship comes first and rejecting Beck even tho he wasn't with Jade at the time (who could be cruel to her at times by the way).

      Putting Roxy in season 3 is genuinely one of the worst things to happen on the show. We ignore all Vilu character development. We ignore that she has learned that lies always come out. We ignore how devastated she was after discovering that her father was Jeremias. We ignore how much she was tricked by Diego in Season 2. We ignore the fact that Violetta is already quite mature. I felt as if the writers had completely forgotten who Violetta was...
      Yeah, I also have some unexplained love for Leonetta despite Roxy, Leon's jealousy issues, what happened with Tomas and Diego, their fights I just love them

One of them has to move away to a different country or across the country. then somehow bc magic they can all enter this magical white space from wherever they are and in this space they can dance together to practice and even travel to where the other girls are. I do think they attended dance school together but I dont remember if it was a hobby school or a professional full time school.

    - a girl who's super good, like beat everybody from the start, but not trough talent but training and show her being over worked and just a machine , who struggle making friend. Make constente sacrifice for her art and that being how we teach children to enjoy art, to practice in a healthy way, to not isolate yourself, to not see everybody as the competition.
