Max Thunderman (The Thundermans)

Max Thunderman is alongside his twin sister, Phoebe Thunderman, the main protagonist of the American comedy television series mh:terribletvshows:The Thundermans. He is a superhero whose superpowers include Telekinesis, Heat Breath, and Freeze Breath. After years of aspiring to become a super-villain, he eventually chose to become a superhero. Max is portrayed by Jack Griffo.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He's extremely annoying, loud, obnoxious, troublesome, unfunny, unlikable and incredibly disrespectful!
 * 2) He's a rebellious teenage boy. He's even trying to become a villain in a family of superheroes.
 * 3) He usually doesn't learn his lesson after his antics backfire.
 * 4) He knows he’s in the wrong, but he doesn't care at all. All he wants to do is cause problems while trying to stay cool and having fun.
 * 5) He never takes anyone into consideration. (Not even his sister, Phoebe!)
 * 6) He and Phoebe are bad examples on Nora, Billy and Chloe.
 * 7) The viewers supposed to be happy when Max is the Punching Bag, however in episodes like "You've Got Fail" "Doubles Trouble" and "Cape Fear", Max would make such a big fool of himself, that viewers feel embarrassed for him more than anything.
 * 8) He is the basic example of The Mean Guy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He's unintentionally sympathetic considering that he is trying to be a villain just to be different, and gets punished way more than his siblings.
 * 2) He's more likable and interesting of a character than his twin sister, Phoebe and the rest of his family.
 * 3) Occasionally he puts his family ahead of what he wants.
 * 4) He's a rather tragic character, because he's ignored by his family for Phoebe (even when he's doing a genius move), made fun of, and is generally picked on. Plus he has low self-esteem and the hero and villain leagues being hostile against him.
 * 5) Max's inventions are very impressive.
 * 6) Max has matured in the final season, becoming a pleasant, soft, cooperative, funny, likable and polite man.
 * 7) He is no longer rebellious, following the Season 3 finale, where he decides to ditch his villainy ways and finally become a superhero after Phoebe reminds him about how his friends and family mean to him. He has done more heroic things during his path of becoming a true superhero.
 * 8) He now learns his lesson when something backfires, and that helps make him a better person.
 * 9) He now does care whenever he’s in the wrong, and does his best to make up for his bad actions. He also tries not to cause any more problems on purpose, even if it means no longer being cool, which helps him grow even more.
 * 10) He is no longer a punching bag, as he finally gets the respect he deserves, which when considering the fact he’s become a better person for his friends and family, the respect is now well deserved.
 * 11) He has grown closer to his family and friends, especially Phoebe, and loves them very much.
 * 12) He and Phoebe have a better sibling chemistry, and he cares about her very much.
 * 13) He is now willing to take anyone, including Phoebe, into consideration.
 * 14) Because of how better people he and Phoebe have become, they now set better examples on Nora, Billy and Chloe.
 * 15) He is still the most likable and interesting of his now likable family.
 * 16) He now always puts his family ahead of what he wants.
 * 17) His inventions are still very impressive.
 * 18) He got through a depressing time when Allison dumped him in 21 Dump Street, which came the moment he saw how sad Principal Bradford became after his own breakup, seeing that Max will be as miserable if he doesn’t move on. So he moves on from his break up and goes back to being his funny and likable self, which shows some good character growth.
 * 19) He was at his best in "The Thunder Games". His battle with Phoebe was EPIC, and he was willing to quit from the Z Force, to defeat The Gamer, and save his family, as he loves them all very much, which lead to he and Phoebe’s twin power being featured. Thanks to his actions, Dirk Turbo was fired for his selfishness and replaced by the Thundermans, which is great considering the fact that he and his family have become better characters.
 * 20) Jack Griffo did a better job playing as him during Season 4.
