Action Pack

Another education show involving superheroes, Action Pack revolves around Watts, Clay, Treena, and Wren, four kids with superpowers that attend the Action Academy, a school that trains future superheroes. Under the watchful eyes of their mentor, Mr. Ernesto, and his robot dog, Plunky, they protect the town of Hope Springs against villains while keeping with their mentor's motto: be smart, be safe, be superheroes.

As I said, this is another superhero-themed educational show in the vein of shows like PJ Masks and Spidey And His Amazing Friends. Each episode has the team of four taking on villains while learning valuable lessons , although like PJ Masks, it has one of the heroes making mistakes before realizing his or her mistake). Also, their transformations come from wearing hoodies, which is basically like how the PJ masks wear pajamas to transform. However, the series has interesting characters that are original, including villains like Dinah Rex and Cold Snap, and the lessons are good. Despite being a near copy of PJ Masks, this is a good series for young kids.

I find myself having to watch some of my kids shows when I'm relaxing with them. Action Pack is something they found somewhat entertaining.

However as an adult I can see why there are negative reviews. Oddly enough no one seems to find them helpful, weird. From my perspective as an adult I can see laziness from Netflix. There is nothing that makes this really different or better than existing shows. More specifically PJ Masks and Super Monsters are good shows that have the same plot as action pack. This is just a corporate mashing of two shows with different characters. There is no new imagination and thought. Its cookie cutter bases on the other shows.

I would have preferred that the original shows introduce new diverse characters. If you want to teach children about inclusion of different ethnic backgrounds and behaviors you can make a better move by adding. You can show behaviors about accepting new a different people the group.

When you just create a new show where everyone is different and there all friends from the start... so what. IMO this show was created quickly and with haste to fill a woke/diversity checkbox ... nothing about it is original.

The creators literally presented it as "PJ Masks, but inclusive. So we're going to specifically exclude white people unless they're villains".

Cheese sticks for the sake of making me feel like a bag of popcorn.

You can come over and watch me and my friend. Please understand that I don't have a lot of money.

At first I thought another PJ mask which my 3 year old is not allowed to watch anymore because I felt it wasn't a good model for my child. Stay up all night and sneak out of the house. Not to mention no diversity in the main characters. Then the use of negative name calling ie bird brain. Then the antagonist I'll get you next time.

Action pack was refreshing. They always turn a negative into a positive in the antagonist and talk about why the negative behaviors are happening and what they can do to help. Also the main characters make mistakes and use those to teach lessons. Also there are 2 mini episodes which helps since the attention span of toddlers is short and if tv time is restricted this helps.

I know the characters look similar but there are only so many ways to do masked superhero. I hope this show continues to give more restrictived views more things to watch. My son love it.

The super hero main characters always figure out why the antagonist is doing destructive things and they rehabilitate them in some form or another by redirecting their impulse or fulfilling the unmet need. It gives me big hope for the future of programming and doing away with the destructive good guy bad guy narratives.
