So I've been watching Wizards Beyond Waverly Place and I'm so confused as to why Roman and Milo aren't wizards. Like Jerry wasn't even a wizard anymore when he had kids and all three of them had magic. And clearly Justin still has his powers, but neither of his kids do? For some reason?

Also, unrelated, but where is Billie's family? Does she have one?

Despite my issues with the reboot I love Wizards Beyond Waverly Place so much. It’s got a lot of heart and Billie is young Alex to a tee and she’s just trying so hard and I feel for her so much.

Speaking of witch bots, here's Billie!

WBWP rantings and questions (to be added on upon)

How tf did Justin expect to hide his secret from his family? Roman is probably in middle school so around ~12 years old. At this point Roman should’ve presented as a Wizard and gone through that wizard puberty. Is he going to have to wear the floppy hat?

Max being rich is a win !! My mans is smart and resourceful as seen when he sold bottled water. Max finally getting what he deserves. I hope Jake comes in at least one episode as a guest star.

Justin: “A wise wizard once told me: ‘You fail only if you give up.’” I’m done so cute 🥺

David Henrie I need you to find some loophole on how Justin was able to do magic at the end of episode 1. He is married and not at Wiztech anymore. Is Justin only able to ‘turn on’ the lair? Doesn’t that still count as magic?

How short of a time Justin was actually a Professor at Wiztech is CRAZY— Justin turns 34 in ep 1 of WBWP. Roman is approximately 12~ years old. So if Roman was born when Justin was 22, let’s say he met Giana at 20. Justin was made a Wiztech Professor at age 19. That is barely anytime to be a Professor

Alex: “So, what? You just hide out here in Staten Island and deny who you are?” She clocked him 💀

Justin you are a full grown man hiding your whole ass identity as a wizard to your wife and kids. Just admit she’s your beard to hide the fact that you want to be with your sister 😒

Justin pulled Alex by the hand in ep 1 to have a ‘private discussion’ moment !! What a throwback 😍

Mark my words Billie and Roman are getting together. Not this season, but if they have a season added on, this will be tried. It’s a bit ‘Justin/Alex if they were kept best friends as planned*’

The monsters at least at episode 1 are very intense compared to our campy WOWP. The scariest thing there was a jealous boyfriend who would wolf out and eat your ex whole. I wonder how the tone will be since they’re trying to build a plot of Billie saving the world. I think it’s nice that there is a pressure like that added in. WOWP had more of a sitcom feel especially in seasons 1-2 where the formula “Alex uses magic badly, she must fix it in order to have her parents not ground her.” was beat to death

*The whole ‘Justin-and-Alex were written as best friends then made into siblings!’ thing may be a rumor, idk. I haven’t seen any sources for or against it… except for having eyes ofc but don’t get me started

Thoughts of WBWP:

Not sure if this is done intentionally or not (i’m *pretty* sure they were aware of jalex back in the day..?) but Billie and Roman are obvious parallels to Alex and Justin, and it feels like this is the show’s way of letting jalex finally happen. They have a similar sibling relationship without being blood related, so it’s a real possibility that they could be set up (in the long run, ofc) to end up together. The implications/jalex parallels of it all would be crazy. Obviously it’s so early on in the show, and they could totally decide not to go that route. But if they eventually did, I think it would be really sweet and definitely an acknowledgment of justin and alex’s relationship. Have you been able to watch any? What do you think?

I haven't watched any of the revival series yet. If it happens and they do end up as love interests, I'll definitely believe it's some kind of nod towards jalex.
