MHA: A Perspective On Nighteye

 

Nighteye wasn't always that strict. He was one of All Might's biggest fans,admired him,and became his sidekick for until 6 years. During his battle against All For One,he got critical injuries. Nighteye begged All Might to retire and told him to look for a One For All successor at the U.A School,particularly Mirio Togata. After their dispute,they went their separate ways. Even if we know Nighteye's strict and cold personality,he actually do in fact have a soft side and values humor. He believes that a world without smiles and humor has no bright future. The point of him is that he was designed and meant to represent the intention of invoking the stereotypical image of Japanese men. That's why he was so strict,cold and had authority. Despite All Might choosing Deku as his successor instead of Mirio,he wasn't that happy,since Deku was Quirkless when All Might found him. By the time,Nighteye didn't know that a Quirkless person was required. He's quick and very open whenever he would make mistakes. Nighteye became very fearful of his own Quirk,scared of any visions he would see,pretty much made him paranoid. He soon met Mirio and took him under his wing. He became his pride and joy. Nighteye was a special person to Mirio. He wasn't just a mentor to him. He was the one who managed to improve Mirio's abilities and turned him into the number one studant at the U.A. At first,Nighteye only saw Mirio as the most suitable candidate to replace All Might,but during the time he was training him for that role,he learned that Mirio holds a deep respect and admiration for him and understands his behavior,becoming his most treasured student. During the Shie Hassaikai raid,he hugs his seriously-injured pupil after rescuing and protecting Eri from Overhaul. A proud Sir Nighteye praises and congratulates Mirio for everything that he has done,but is devastated to learn that Mirio had lost his Quirk when he was hit by a Quirk-Destroying bullet while protecting Eri. Nighteye literally tried to protect Mirio,Deku and Eri until he got badly hit. And you think he's being a dickhead? You don't even know how much respect and honor Sir Nighteye is. He's a true hero. If you don't think he is and that he's an assole,screw you. You don't know what a real hero like him is. In the hospital,Mirio rushes into the room to plea to him to hold on to teach him more,reminding him that he only became strong thanks to his help and training. Nighteye comforts Mirio,using his Quirk one final time to see into his future. Sir Nighteye passes away peacefully and smiling,after assuring Mirio that he will become an outstanding hero. That's when Mirio burst out crying. Pretty much later on,Nighteye received a funeral. That shows how much he got respect from everyone. Later on as well during the School Festival when Class A was doing their performance and Eri started smiling for the first time,not only was Mirio felt happy about it,he claims if only Nighteye was there to see this,with tears falling down on him. Nighteye's death truly was impactful. I remember crying my head off uncontrollably when it happened and I still cry even nowadays. I also used to dislike his strict attitude at first when he first debuted,but when I found out he truly is a real hero and sacrificed himself to save not just his student,but Deku and Eri as well,I started crying and he has deserved my whole respect. So when he died,a part of me also died. We know what they say,it's better to learn on who someone really is before judging them. Thanks to Nighteye's courage,I learned to take care of myself and to continue on not giving up no matter how hard life gets. He's my hero and always will be.

My Review on My Hero Academia Season 6

 

**This is my review of Season 6 episode 16 from My Hero Academia**
Hello there. Today's review is episode 16 of My Hero Academia Season 6. Warning. This contains spoilers,so read at your own risk. If you don't want to be spoiled,look away.

                                    The Most Heartbreaking Episode Yet

This episode really heartbroke me. I can't even watch Hawks' past fully because it was way too much. And yeah,his past shall enter the ''Things you shouldn't be searching for'' iceberg. I cried a whole fountain today and i'm not even kidding. Really,do NOT search it up. Glad Beast Jeanist is staying next to him as his bodyguard. The whole situation with Endeavor is heartbreaking as well. All the remorse he's feeling right now and the regret. Something about him crying like that is hard to watch. Rei taking her time to see him is really wholesome. It shows that she still cares about him even after what the whole family and herself has been put through during all this time prior to the series. Shoto is.. Well he's Shoto.

Some good details went into this episode. We get to see Hawks' little Endeavor toy and how he even got it in the first place. This little toy glowing to him,it's just cute. In truth,his mom bought him the toy in the marketplace in order to keep him quiet. In exchange,she told him he can become as strong as him someday. There is a scene from an older episode of Season 6 where little Hawks talked to two older people and encouraged him to become a hero. This time here,they extended it and explained further on how this came to be. The flower Rei is holding behind her is a notch to the flowers that Endeavor made her see long time ago. The fact she's having one right now to visit him is genuine from their part. And... Of course we get to see about Dabi. Umm.. I mean Toya. We got the flashback from Dabi's dance and as well as the famous hug scene where he hugs Shoto. Not only that,but Hawks remembers the time when Toya called him by his real name. It brought me chills. Oh and yes,Hawks' past did reveal that his real name is indeed Keigo Takami.

Well,we got yet another ''said character is abused as a child'' trope. How many characters in MHA have this trope already? Not only that,but Hawks' mom reminds me of L from Death Note. Same kind of speaking.. Hell,she even sits just like him. Unfortunately,she saved her husband from the authorities when he committed murder. Despite this,their relationship was extremely stressed and this affected poor little Hawks. Because of all this,her relation with her son is negative and had to do anything her husband commands her to do and even as far as when he physically abuses poor Hawks,it goes to the point his mom had to not give him any short of emotional support. However,it was revealed Hawks received a letter from his mom after all these years following his recovery. She states she apologize for everything and causing trouble while telling her son how proud she is of him. Little Hawks watches Endeavor and All Might on tv. How cute! Endeavor defeating an elephant guy villain? Awesome! Oh and she eventually told about his father at some point,which got him caught by Endeavor. Awww.. Hawks' hero to the rescue,I guess. 

Now,i'm not gonna go in further details from Hawks' past because this is way too much. But,it is surprising that Endeavor has finally redeemed himself after all the incident. He eventually made a proper apology as well as for his entire family. Toya/Dabi really did affect him a lot and we can't blame him. Shoto closing the door on his was kinda funny. Nonetheless,the whole family made Shoto see him,which he finally accepted afterwards. The whole Endeavor apologizing to his family and crying got me into tears. He also promised to be a better person. It's a good thing for someone like Endeavor to finally gets development and getting the respect he deserve. Yes,we all hated on him and I don't blame anyone for it,but he's one of the few people who agrees on changing his ways and that's a good thing. He also has accepted being responsible for  what happened to Toya and him becoming a villain,in which the latter haunts him. Endeavor received support from his family ever since and came to the public about his past and promised to do anything he can to defeat the villains.

Now you may notice something. Why I haven't talk about Susugi's situation? It's mainly because the amount of abuse this episode has given already broke me.

Assassination Classroom: A Great Point Of View With An Inspiring Teacher

 Hi guys! Welcome back to my blog. I know it's been so long after my last entry and I am really sorry about that. Life was getting more busy and I've been making so much research before wanting to do this new entry on my blog. This time,I am going to talk about something that has inspired me throughout the years,an anime that hit me hard. A teacher whose special in my heart deeply. I'm talking about Assassination Classroom. For those of you who don't know what this is,it's basically a class from a school filled with low grade students with the goal of assassinating their teacher Koro for a bet of 10 billion dollars and it's up to their teacher to teach them on how to become assassins. The show is a total masterpiece. It also combine many genres. Action? Checked. Comedy? Checked. Drama? Checked. Slice of life? Checked. If something happens later in the series,it has probably been foreshadowed in past episodes. 

The Earlier Development:

In 2012,Yusei Matsui created Assassination Classroom,a manga with a very original scenario that quickly found its audience. The manga had huge and dazzling success in Japan,with the first volume selling a million copies and it became one of the best-selling mangas in the archipelago. As with so many successful other manga,an anime series was born,alongside two live action movies.

Before the series that interests us here,an OVA was produced back in 2013 by the studio Brain's Base and it adapted the first cycle of the manga (namely the arrival of Professor Koro and the school trip). The series,produced two years later,adapts the story to the end,that is to say the 21 volumes of the manga.

The Humor And Character Development:

Despite its dark concept,the series is very funny,especially thanks to the disconnect between Koro's strange personality and the more serious ones from the students. The hate/love relationship between them is also an asset in their relationship and the evolution of the characters. The antagonists are otherwise interesting and have a well-defined psychology. Finally,the realization is very good and serves very well scenarios which exploits its concept with accuracy. Nagisa was originally going to be a girl early in development and would have a relation with Karma. But Yusei Matsui later change this for making Nagisa a boy to better tell a story within,and this came into jokes around in the anime. 

Under its exacerbated humour and the lightness with which it shows violence,the series wants to be deeper by addressing a social problem which is the difficult schooling of young Japanese with the pressure of the education system and the way in which they are cataloged and despised by the other students who do not succeed in school. Yusei Matsui has also confessed to having created the character of Koro according to his idealization of the perfect teacher,having himself never had the chance to have a good teacher during his school years. Thanks to his way of approaching things,the series was able to find its audience,which was not easy with regard to its subject which could have posed a problems for some viewers. It's all about the effect a good teacher can have on kids who need their support.

Season 1 is merely setting up the students,setting  up the whole cast so we get to know them better,before season 2 kicks into series of great arcs. Without the heroics in the final arc,we won't have a good idea of what Nagisa is good at. While the anime didn't cover all of the students,we at least know which one went to the Maid Cafe and liked it. This classroom is full of kids,share a strong sense of comradery between themselves,whether during planning another nearly impossible scheme or fighting against a common external enemy. I love how they work together as an unit,how they play off each other in comedic moments,and you feel save around those groups of people. The strong suit of this series is not the simple premise,but how those groups of students created such a strong bond between themselves. The show is appealing to a lot of people,because of the social discrimination,and how the teenagers are treated as the worse,as well as the last hope of Earth at the same time. Not all of the kids in Class E are ruffians,but they're all lumped up together as one. The lack of character development in the anime is more addressed in the manga,where most of the things happens offscreen,and more character developments happens. Like Sugaya and Maehara for example. Karma is definitely the most interesting student character and the most recognized beside Nagisa. Nagisa also comes close with slowly development regarding his assassination talent. Assassination Classroom resonated with me,because trust me,I have dealt with a similar system in some sort at my school,and it was never easy for me to live with,especially due to my condition or special needs schooling education. 

For me,the best character would always,and I mean,always will be Karma. I was constantly looking out to him like a brother figure in every episode. Gotta love his cute side as well. His laid-back personality,combined with his weird sadistic bullying tactics,made him pretty fun to have around. Seeing him grow up was nice to behold. Some people,even adults,haven't matured to the point of acceptability,but he does,which made his development that much endearing. He was also very funny and entertaining. 

Life Lessons:

Throughout the course of the manga and the anime,we learn lots of life lessons from Professor Koro and the students of Class E. It also serves as a great escape from the troubles of everyday life. Here are some of them:

• Believe in yourself- The power of self-believe is at the very core of this series. Koro Sensei tries to instill this frame of mind into his kids by knocking them down to build them back up. He shows them that there is no one size that fits all fix when it comes to life and that you shouldn't compare yourself to others for that reason. It's your life and the only way you can take control and accomplish your goals is through believing in yourself,even at your worst moments.

• It's ok to fail- The idea of failure is a major theme that surrounds the series and its cast. From the very first episode,Koro Sensei challenges his class to assassinate him,which ultimately results in their failure. The series rapidly uses the failures of Class E to show the viewers that the power of of perseverance is apart of the process. It goes on to show how each of these class members grows through their defeats and how they develop into more complete people because of it.

• Don't dwell on the pass- The children of Class E aren't exactly what you would call your model students. They are unhinged,cold and confrontational;some might even say,misfits. What this series tries hardest to communicate is to forget the failures of yesterday,the heartache or regret,the troubled past that you may have come from and to move forward for the benefit of your future self.  It takes these same children and unifies them under one goal empowering them to move on from the things that haunted and held them back from realizing their true potential.

• Understanding your weakness can only make you stronger- Success can be seen a long and winding road of ups and downs. The way to properly navigate that road is through understanding yourself;your strengths,your opportunities,your accomplishments. through their slow development from misfits to hungry and engaged students. It's all managed through some diligent soul-searching like Itona's journey from cocky,blowhard to eventually using his honesty as a tool to connect with his classmates and find acceptance.

• Don't just sit around being angry,take action- There are many points throughout the series where Class E comes face to face with adversity;the fate of the world is in their hands for crying out loud. But even though he's constantly a target,Koro Sensei is sure to instill a proactive attitude in his students. None of them are perfect and have plenty of problems they need to work through,but their teacher is always sure to remind them to never let those obstacles stop them. 

• Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard- In every face of life,whether it be financially,physically or mentally,there are very gifted individuals. This series does a great job of displaying that divide in society. Many students lack the physical talents of Itona or Ritsu,but they make up for it with their intelligence much like Karma. But nothing would be possible for these students without the hard work and determination Koro Sensei pounds into their heads. These two themes resonates throughout each episode of the series in an attempt to manifest themselves in the lives of the viewer.

• Never give up- Until its end,the series lives on as a testament to this very sentiment. From all the events of season 2,down to each classmate's individual setbacks during exams or in their personal life;Assassination Classroom strives to empower those helpless and downtrodden to keep pushing forward. To see the backstories of some of these characters,and even Koro Sensei's,and to see how they managed to overcome these events is an inspiring display of perseverance. 

• Don't concern yourself with the opinions of others- One of the most important lessons anyone can learn is the only opinion that should matter is your own. Throughout life,there will be many people we encounter and they will all come with their preconceived notions and opinions. Assassination Classroom tries its best so show that those opinions shouldn't dictate your life,that each decision you make should be for your own happiness and reflect with the values you hold true to yourself. 

• Life is about balance- In all aspects of life,it is important to maintain a proper balance of priorities. Work and life tend to conflict,and concentrating too much effort on one easily distracts from the other. The series makes it a point to convey these truths through its character's strengths and weaknesses,daily lives,and academic aspirations,even in Isogai's responsibility to provide for his family financially in his job outside of school. 

• Creativity is your greatest weapon- Creativity IS your greatest weapon. Whether it be a BB grenade,a surprise blade or a covert attack by the government,creativity is key when it comes to each assassination attempt against Koro Sensei. The series shows the lengths that each student goes in order to get an advantage over their teacher. This is a lesson that should speak to every viewer,that they must utilize the power of their creativity to overcome any obstacle they may face in their life.

                                         My perspective on Koro Sensei:

I would like to speak about Koro Sensei. He is really a great character and teacher. His motivation,his personality,his skills,and his past is very sad and tragic but I won't spoil it. He really cares about his students and would risk his life for them. He is the ideal teacher for me. I usually don't normally cry over a series' ending,but the ending of Assassination Classroom has by far made me cry out loud,especially for Koro Sensei. Just.. The fact they're middle schoolers and their goal is literally to kill their teacher,it's just that hard for them to do it. Whenever they try to assassinate him,this always lead up to another plan or whatsoever and people were all fine with it,as long as Koro keeps on teaching. But when the time has come,they no longer want to kill him,knowing their teacher won't be around for them anymore. It's just plain sad. In response of learning their teacher's past,they wanted to try to save him instead and there was a whole story arc based on that life saving idea. It turns out that saving him would'nt be necessary,because the chance of killing him spontaneously combusting and taking a whole planet with him is less than 1%. Even still,the government are still trying to kill him. And not to mention Karma,who happens to cry for the first time in his life. The students suffered from a very traumatic experience at the end and I can't blame them. As the ''let's save Koro Sensei instead of killing him'' arc was progressing and the rest of the show was near,I had mixed feelings. On one hand,the idea that Koro Sensei could live was something I wanted on some level,not to mention that turning the premise of a series on its head is an incredibly high-risk,high-reward move that can be utterly mind-blowing when done right. Yet at the same time,the idea of going from having to do something morally and narratively  difficult to doing something morally easy would basically ruin everything the show had been building towards. The emotional heart of the show is that Koro Sensei is actually a fantastic teacher (yes I know,i'm repeating this) and person in general,but he's a threat that needed to be eliminated. Even Karma has stated so when he negotiate with Nagisa.  He really cares about his students and would risk his life for them. He is the ideal teacher for me. I usually don't normally cry over a series' ending,but the ending of Assassination Classroom has by far made me cry out loud,especially for Koro Sensei. Just.. The fact they're middle schoolers and their goal is literally to kill their teacher,it's just that hard for them to do it. Whenever they try to assassinate him,this always lead up to another plan or whatsoever and people were all fine with it,as long as Koro keeps on teaching. But when the time has come,they no longer want to kill him,knowing their teacher won't be around for them anymore. It's just plain sad. In response of learning their teacher's past,they wanted to try to save him instead and there was a whole story arc based on that life saving idea. It turns out that saving him would'nt be necessary,because the chance of killing him spontaneously combusting and taking a whole planet with him is less than 1%. Even still,the government are still trying to kill him. And not to mention Karma,who happens to cry for the first time in his life. The students suffered from a very traumatic experience at the end and I can't blame them. The scientist who experimented on Koro Sensei uses the kids has hostages as part of his plan to kill him,and Koro saves the kids and defeats the villain but is weakened in the process. With the government about to fire a satellite-based super-weapon and kill Koro Sensei anyway,he tells his goodbyes to the students,giving one last roll call before they do him in. And.. I'm not going into deeper details onto this because this affected me so much to the point I snap. Koro himself points out that peace was never an option so he was going to die alone anyway if it was'nt for the kids. He wanted the students to do it after all he'd done for them. In addition,the series has twisted into both options: While the students makes the choice that Koro Sensei didn't need to be killed to save the Earth,they were never going to be able to ''save'' him because the governments of the world didn't care.  You grow to love Koro Sensei as much as the students so you're interested into sparring him,but at the same time,you know it's going to end and there is no other way to prevent this. As for Kayano,this would really play a huge part on Koro Sensei to snap. To think she died protecting her teacher from a monstrous scientist and his minion,this had a huge letdown: Reviving. I get that Koro Sensei wanted to try to heal someone whom he love so much and be useful as help,but keeping her as dead would teach everyone that even someone you love dies,they would stay forever in your mind,and that's what Assassination Classroom is trying to tell here,that you must feel what death is like in order to move on. It's the same thing for Koro Sensei. Even if he must die,he would still stay forever in the mind of many people. This is why I respect the last moment of the final episode,because it proves just how much it's ok to cry for someone or a stranger that you've been attached to. 

At first,the only thing the students in his class can do is play along. They're completely at the mercy of a questionably sane creature who can blow up the moon and most likely the Earth immediately,but insists on playing teacher with them for a year. They can't do anything about it as they are now,the government already knows about it plus is trying to do something about it but also can't do anything about it as well. That's how they see it,what other choice do they have but play along? They're the E Class,they have zero motivation because they see themselves as failures because of the school system.  But over time,they actually bond with Koro Sensei because while he is a questionable sane creature,he supports them,trains them,teaches them life lessons,etc.. In other words,he's pretty much the perfect teacher figure for them,and they need one,again because of the school system. They stopped seeing him as a monster because he just doesn't act like one anyway and since he creates the perfect school environment for them,they go to school and focus on exams... While trying to kill him from time to time. It's not like they forgot about the world being closer and closer to annihilation in favor of their newfound brilliant school life,they just still can't do squat about it. They do try. Koro Sensei is very entertaining in my opinion,in a way he makes the class fun. He gets the true respect his deserve. He indeed inspires a lot of people,including me. He doesn't need to make research or something to help others or for teaching because he himself,is already very intelligent from the start. With Koro Sensei around,they feel save and comfortable,and he gives them a challenge that's nearly impossible yet with adequate encouragements along the way. At first,the only thing the students in his class can do is play along. They're completely at the mercy of a questionably sane creature who can blow up the moon and most likely the Earth immediately,but insists on playing teacher with them for a year. They can't do anything about it as they are now,the government already knows about it plus is trying to do something about it but also can't do anything about it as well. 

Why Does Loaf And Lisa Hates Bagel And Becky?

 Do you guys remembers Loaf and Lisa from The Bagel and Becky show? If not,then I shall make a brief introduction to them. Loaf is a gopher who hates Bagel while Lisa is a squirrel who hates Becky. Loaf is careless,mean and self-centered while Lisa is selfish,naughty and stupid. However,the show has never explained why they hate Bagel and Becky so much but one thing I've gathered is a box in the episode Sleep Overthrow. What's even more intriguing is that they're friends with Argentina and Phillipe. Hmmm,is there something going on? Maybe so.

We know Bagel and Becky have a human mom (she's also their owner) who makes them pancakes every morning. She is apparently former friends with Loaf and Lisa at some point. Also,it is noted that Percy is Bagel and Becky's true friend. This means that something must have happened before Bagel and Becky showed up. Here is my take on what most likely happened.

Loaf and Lisa used to be Mom's pets (kids). They were happy at the time and she loved them both. They had a happy life. That is,until one day when Bagel and Becky arrived. Mom quickly grew attached to these two new addition to the family,but this meant that Load and Lisa tried to seek attention from her from time to time. They even tried to put the blame on the other two but no luck. They were getting jealous afterwards. Soon enough,they thought of getting out of the house and that's when the box comes in. They wanna use the box they found so that someone else would take them. However,nobody ever came for them. Their jealousy filled them in with anger not only from Bagel and Becky,but because they had nothing else. At some point,Argentina and Phillipe spotted them,feeling bad for these two poor animals. The two gets the deal of helping them get rid of Bagel and Becky since they are also jealous of the cat and the dog. 

The Interesting Case Of Radcircles

 Hello there,guys. It's me again,and I am here to talk about the Radcircles case.

Now Radcircles,has been a real true mystery ever since the beginning of 2011. For those who didn't follow the Detentionaire series,then I suggest to watch it before jumping into the archives. Otherwise things would be confusing. 

                      Archive 1: Before Radcircles...

Here is the first archive. As I have already progressed into the case and the series by myself,some interesting things has caught my attention and that is the strange Art Wurst and his disappearance. Why is he important you may ask? Because he is the original Radcircles,as his email is indeed Radcircles@anigmahigh.ca. I know,it sounds familiar. The original Art Wurst was one of the founders of the Corporate conglomerate Mann,Wurst and Finnwich. Alongside his fellow founders Maxwell Finnwich and Elizabeth Mann,their high school principal Alexander Nigma and fellow student Ping,he formed a cult dedicated to unlocking the powers of a mysterious pyramid. While still in their high school days,the group succeeded and in the process freed a creature they would come to know as His Eminence. Unfortunately for him,he was diagnosed with an incurable and ultimately lethal disease. Seeking a form of pseudo immortality,he created a legion of clones of himself and over the years,they have created numerous clones of only the most brilliant minds in history all for the purpose of unlocking the pyramid. A high ranking Wurst clone alongside Mrs. Lob,Mr. Pummel,Mrs. Jerkins,VP Victoria and General Barrage worked together on a top secret government brainwashing project. The project was scrapped when it was determined that they could'nt make people do something that was truly against their will. The members of the project with the exception of Barrage,would stay together as teaching staff of A Nigma High. However unknown to the others,Veronica was continuing the project using a few students at A Nigma High as guinea pigs for her employers The Council.

One year prior to the start of the series,Wurst was lured to Room 113B by Victoria's henchman Lynch Webber,masquerading as Lee Ping,and kidnapped and sent him to Coral Grove. Prior to Wurst's disappearance,Lynch stole Wurst's email and use it to similarly kidnap the other scientists and set up the prank and frame Lee.

The Untold And Dark Truth Of Supernanny

 We all know the Supernanny show and who Jo Frost is,but this needed an article because there are things you probably didn't know about Supernanny. I have already talked about Jacob Young who went to jail for rape. 

            The Behind the scenes of the show

While the episodes always wrapped up with happy kids and grateful parents,there were a lot more going on behind the scenes. From an almost failed engagement to a three year old committing arson,there are more than meets the eye. 

The show almost cost Supernanny 's own Jo Frost her relationship. When Jo Frost left in 2011,she explained she was ready to move on from the show and start a family of her own. It turns out that the show almost cost Frost one of her most important relationships with Darrin Jackson. She told in an interview that her relationship with Darrin suffered during filming. You see,Derrin was a production manager on the show so he got to work with her and the others,but it didn't work out. The idea of it not working was'nt an option for Joe or Jackson but the reality is that they had to live by what they preach as well. Jo said she still planned to work after settling down and becoming a mother. However,she and Jackson are committed to making it work no matter what. 

The kids may have been coerced to cry. The beauty of Supernanny was watching the incredible transformation of the kids. The more out of control the children were,the more exciting the episode get. The tantrums were truly groundbreaking and they kept people coming back for more. Sadly,some of these tantrums were allegedly coerced. Producers of the British version of Supernanny revealed that the kids had to cry on the show. Channel 4 board member Roger Graef said they were told to force the children to cry on Supernanny during a seminar at the London School of Economics. However,Channel 4 said this never happened on the American version of Supernanny.

The show has a royal fan. The families featured on Supernanny appeared completely out of control. The kids ran the show as they screamed at their parents and threw their vegetables across the kitchen. Jo Frost had her work cut out for her week to week. However,it seems that you don't need to have lost all control to benefit from Frost and her strategies. Even a seemingly perfect family studied her methods. When Kate Middleton was pregnant with her first baby,Prince William shared that he began watching the DVDs of Supernanny. Prince Harry reportedly got sucked into the show as well. Frost told the telegraph that she was happy when she found out the royal family was watching. 

Did the show exploit the kids?  During the height of Supernanny's success,concerns were raised about the well-being of the families,especially the children. While Jo Frost is the star of the show,it's the kids that make the program addictive to watch. Seeing them from epic meltdown mode to happy and helpful little angels kept people coming back for more like I stated before. However,the kids never actually agreed to be on television. We sat there watching these children during their darkest times. The more distressed they were,the better the episode. Perhaps it was'nt fair to subject them to national television. What will happen when they grow up and see themselves acting that way? Frost has been adamant that the show was only for the benefit of the children and that it never used them for ratings. When the Guardian asked Frost if she was ever concerned about exploiting children,she quickly said no. 

You can use Jo Frost's expert techniques at home. After having a wildly successful TV show,it was only a matter of time before Frost tried her hand at writing. In 2011,she released her parenting book,Jo Frost's Confident Toddler Care. 

Even Supernannies have trouble following their own advice. Frost was insanely busing while filming Supernanny but it turns out that frantic pace didn't go away after the show ended. She told at home that she had to set healthier boundaries for herself after having a health setback following the show. She had a knee injury and it was a though recovery. All the while,she had an anterior cruciate ligament replacement. She went back for therapy for a short amount of time and she was getting better and better. After her recovery,she decided it was time to start saying ''no'' more often. She focused on a better balance and let herself turn down projects when she was feeling stretched too thin.

One family says their sons' behavior worsened after the show. At the end of each Supernanny episode,we the audience had the satisfaction of seeing even the most unruly youngsters happily following the rules. The families always seemed so much closer and more peaceful at the end. That's probably why it's so sad to think that the stories didn't end there. It is truly unrealistic to think that one person could undo years of conditioning in such a period of time. This was certainly true for the Young family. Jo Frost spent two weeks with this family of five boys. She thought the parents about how to use rewards and instituted a ''naughty stool'' when the boys didn't listen. Sadly,the naughty stool went up in flames. The family's three year old son Joel set fire to the house with a kitchen lighter after appearing on Supernanny. The parents have stated that the children were not responsible,but the fire service released a statement saying that Joel was the one who started it. No one was hurt,but the house was destroyed. The Youngs have complained that their sons' behavior actually worsened after the show because they were encouraged to play up their misbehaving for the cameras. Years later,Jacob Young is put in jail for rape in 2020. 

Jo Frost is the face of the show,but it takes a village to help these families. While Jo Frost is very effective,she can't possibly work the kind of miracle we saw on the show completely on her own. She shared with the parents that there is an entire team behind the camera who are vital to the family' success. Frost explained that she make sure that the families always come first on Supernanny and that requires a team. The most important members of that team are the parents. Once the crew and cameras leave after two weeks,it's up to the parents to keep up this new system.

Nannies don't like the show. Not everyone agrees with Jo Frost and her tactics. Surprising group who isn't crazy about her strategies is other nannies. The nanny service ENannySource posted its top 10 reasons why nannies don't love Supernanny. Nannies worry that the show gives unrealistic expectations for nannies. Not all problems can be tied up within an hour-long show,so families should not expect one person to work miracles that quickly. They also worry that the show thrives on drama,much more than is natural for the average family. The average nanny spends her days changing diapers and playing at the park. You don't need epic tantrums and meltdowns everyday. Finally,ENannySource explained that nannies should be part of the family,not the leader. Parents are still in change when it comes to their children,so they need to stay engaged.
