unlike the MCU, they look like crapola. If you're going to make a superhero movie today, you gotta have a budget. "Secret Society", perhaps, had Microsoft Paint
there's a real delight in spending time with these characters and watching them interact, with natural chemistry assisted by Alex Litvak and Andrew Green's peppy original script
the diverse cast of teen actors are charismatic enough, but the script paints their characters in very broad strokes, relying on some superficial stereotypes to give them personalities and life problems that are too easily resolved
clearly made for the tween demographic, this movie combines superpowers, royalty, and even spy vibes. Great acting by the whole cast and a plot that sets up for more movies
a weird blend of toddler temptations (weaponized butterflies, lots of princesses) and adult politics (anti-monarchist protests, a bomb threat at a coronation), "Second-Born Royals" doesn't know how to be kid-friendly without being dumb
