Line #5 YMMV/Zenon

Context YMMV / Zenon

Go To


1	* AdaptationDisplacement: Loosely adapted from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenon:_Girl_of_the_21st_Century a 1996 children's book]]. The success of the film did inspire four more Zenon books to be written though, adding up to a total of five.
2	* FanDiscontinuity: Most fans tend to ignore Z3, due to it being so different from the other two (among other things).
3	* FirstInstallmentWins: Many consider the first movie to be the best in the series, if not the only good one.
4	* HilariousInHindsight:
5	** The presence of Zap Pads in the first movie, made long before [=iPads=] and other subsequent computer tablets became commonplace.
6	** The first movie predicted that then-current President UsefulNotes/BillClinton's daughter, Chelsea, would follow in her father's footsteps. A Clinton would indeed become the first woman to run for POTUS -- Bill's ''wife'' (and Chelsea's mother), UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton.
7	* PeripheryDemographic: ''Zenon'' was targeted at tween girls. Its actual fanbase is all over the map, and doesn't just include those people who were tween girls when they saw it; it also includes geeky types who are in it for the NarmCharm, a few people who think it's a legitimately good movie, and of course the older male fanbase that we don't like to talk about.
8	* {{Sequelitis}}: Z3 is considered this by fans of the first two for going in a different direction, and not doing it well. The second movie is also seen as this, though nowhere near the same extent.
9	* SoBadItsGood: It's a TotallyRadical Disney tween flick that was ''far'' into {{Zeerust}} even when it was made, the music is pure tweeny-pop written in FutureSlang, and even elementary schoolers know that you use metric in science class (well, depending on the particular school in question). But the movies [[NarmCharm play everything so completely straight, without even a hint of parody]], that your brain can just disengage and enjoy it.
10	* SpecialEffectsFailure: Though some of the effects are [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome decent for a TV movie from the late 90s]], such as shots of the space station, others, such as Zenon floating out in front of the space station, don't fare nearly as well.
