History YMMV / XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum

* CriticalDissonance: Joyce Slaton of ''Website/CommonSenseMedia'' [[AndYouThoughtItWouldFail bashed the show for containing "historical inaccuracies"]], but the show has managed to score a decent-sized fandom, not minding the reviews [[https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/xavier-riddle-and-the-secret-museum on the page]] left by [[{{Troll}} obvious Trolls]].[[note]]Whether or not they're [[AstroTurf AstroTurfers]] has not been confirmed.[[/note]].

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Once the online shorts were released, the fandom, particularly on [=TikTok=] had negative reactions towards Xavier's new voice (who is currently unknown as of this writing). They even started a hashtag to get Aidan Vissers to come back; he's just that iconic.

* PeripheryDemographic: The show already has a loyal teen and adult fanbase thanks to its clever writing and use of historical heroes. Even '''''Website/FourChan''''' [[https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/111276986/ is fond of the show]], and that speaks volumes.

* TheWoobie: It's pretty hard to not feel bad for Brad. He has very low self-esteem despite all his talents and accomplishments, has many allergies, and is always apprehensive to go back in time. Special mention to "I Am Susan B. Anthony" and "I Am Alexander Graham Bell". In the former, Xavier and Yadina won't let him have a vote on what will go where in the Secret Museum, and in the latter, he loses his voice, and Xavier and Yadina won't listen to him.

* FriendlyFandoms: With the ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'', and ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'' fandoms, thanks to them all being well-written and educational modern PBS cartoons. It helps that Yadina from ''Xavier'' and Honey from ''Luna'' have the same VA - Zoe Hatz. Also, Brad is somewhat similar to Sean from ''Jet''.

* {{Adorkable}}: Brad seems to be this based on the preview trailers. He is really shy, nervous, and loves comics and butterflies.

* AwardSnub: The show did get nominated at the Annies, but lost in its 2 categories to ''WesternAnimation/AskTheStorybots'' and ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie''.

* {{Fanon}}:
** Yadina and Brad are both bi according to the fandom. Brad is more obvious, especially since he spent most of "I Am Albert Einstein" gushing over Einstein's hair.
** According to the fandom, all three of the kids are neurodivergent. Specifically, Xavier has ADHD, Yadina has OCD, and Brad is autistic.
** Fans also believe that the show takes place in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', since a FreezeFrameBonus, whenever the kids are in the Secret Museum, shows that Journal 3 is located in one of the cubbies.

** On Wattpad, people ship Brad with Brian (owing to the popular headcanon that Brad is bisexual). This consequently makes Brian an ArmouredClosetGay in fanfiction.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: They missed the chance to make a ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' reference in "I Am Alexander Hamilton."

* UncannyValley: The characters' huge mouths can come off as this to some people.

* SugarWiki/DevelopmentHeaven: The series reportedly has a budget of a measly $3,000, but to say the artists and animators went the extra mile is an understatement. Thanks to Chris Eliopoulos' brilliant character designs and the stunning, detailed backgrounds, it manages to be a very artsy series. Special mention goes to the Creator/FredRogers episode, in which the ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' TV set is accurate ''down to the most minor detail''.

* CantUnhearIt: Just try to read George Washington's ''Ordinary People Change the World'' book without hearing Maxim Lutterotti's voice. Or Jackie Robinson's book without Jazz Stewart's voice. Or Amelia Earhart's book without Markeda [=McKay=]'s voice. You get the idea.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** Heroes aren't reality TV stars or people who are famous for being famous. Real heroes are ordinary people who change the world. People who are kind and caring. People who made mistakes. People who struggled along the way, but kept on trying and achieved their goal. That's what makes a hero.
** Nobody is perfect. The show makes it clear that none of the heroes featured are perfect human beings whatsoever, as they are shown making mistakes, and there are even some that had made questionable decisions or said questionable things in real life. [[note]]Like George Washington and Winston Churchill, to name a few[[/note]] But the show is about believing the best of everyone and remembering people for the good they put into the world.
** "I Am Billie Jean King" teaches that boys and girls can do the same things. Girls are allowed to play sports, boys are allowed to do ballet, etc. It promotes gender-nonconformity in a way kids can understand, and this moral is very much needed.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme song is extremely catchy and manages to explain the premise of the show and get you excited for it.

* SpiritualLicensee: Just by looking at some plot-related elements, the main protagonists' surnames and a couple of [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]], you might as well see the show as either an AnimatedAdaptation of ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' or an unofficial spinoff set in the same universe.
