what changes would you make
Just saw the first episode.
Its an interesting concept, a regular kid somehow gets picked to be a superheroe's sidekick. obviously Schneider wanted to build a series around Justin Beiber look a like Jace Norman, so he came up with his first really high concept Tv Show. since this is unchartered territory for Scneider there will be a sharp learning curve .
one problem is going to be with the Villians,they have to be menacing but not too much so, its a delicate balance, but if your going to have superheroes, you need supervillians. how many good ideas for villains are there, the one in the first episode " The Toddler," was just plain silly. But you have to give Schneider credit who could have made another family sitcom which would have been as simple as pie for him. By adding a grown up(captain man) to the main equation, he is going somewhere he hasn't gone before.
Still there are problems. Not sure they have the right mix with Henry's friends, you have the typical chubby and dumb friend, and a girl, kind of a cross between Sam and Zuri from Jessie. Think the friend situation will be switched up, Henry was way too attached to Jasper, are boys really that attached to their best friends, that they would worry about their friends Birthday party when they could go out adventuring, I could buy it with a girl, like Carly, but not a boy.
Jasper doesn't have much of a personality, and he is cloying and needy, its not fully thought out character, he is more like a cartoon character.
Henry's sister is annoying, weird he went this way with such a major character, and didn't try to find a new Miranda. I guess the sister is not a well thought out character either, she is there to be annoying and at that will serve that position. I only suspect that most of the action will take place in Superhero land, and the less we dwell on the homelike, the less we will not have to answer silly questions, like: " Where is Henry going all the time." The mom doesn't even seem to notice that he is working or even out of the house, and theses days when a mom can use a smart phones that can keep tabs on a child 24 hours a day, it makes things hard to believe.
Of course as we have seen with Sam and Cat the Schneider universe -the schneiderverse, is a cartoony place that only passingly resembles our own, in this Universe Moms let their kids out of the house at all hours, Kids become super hero sidekicks, superheroes exist, and anything that happens no matter how crazy does not have to be explained.
