Lab Rats: Elite Force

The opening credits for Disney XD's first ever cross-over merger would have you believe that it has brought together the best parts of both; Lab Rats' action and Mighty Med's half decent plot for children's television shows. Unfortunately it is presently a sitcom about spoiled supers who bicker in a penthouse.

Mighty Med and Lab Rats were "bad TV" in that innocent and endearing way Disney have mastered to create shows endurable enough for mum & dad to stick with. Now with Elite Force the actors have grown (even in their craft, with some visibly muting their skills to keep it camp) and these 16-18 year old characters are constantly at odds, not with an enemy but with each other, and mum & dad are getting a headache. Entitlement seems to seep from their pores. Pausing to note that the casting has fallen to "passably whites" and anyone without the right waist-line is a joke, the most noticeable let-down is the upgraded awkward. The sweetness of "boy likes girl" is long gone, "boy films girl without her consent" has arrived, and it has got to stop. The actors deserve better and so does the audience.

It seems to have been the plan to inject the Kaz and Oliver characters into the formula where Adam and Leo would be. What they haven't counted on are trait similarities battling for space. With Skylar and Bree occupying essentially the same character, Oliver and Chase reduced to idiots in one another's world, and Kaz having his usually on-point cheek overcast by the constantly snarky dialogue, something's got to give for this merger to work.

I'm happy to see this come together, I'm glad they're giving this a go. It still has potential but I don't see it holding the attention of fans for much longer with this kind of forced character conflict replacing story and lack of plot-driving nemesis that would even call for the existence of an "Elite Force".

While unfinished, i loved mighty med, and lab rats. There are massive plot holes, and plot threads that need to be wrapped up in 2 movies, @disney+ needs to finish both of these..lucas Crushank is young enough to fill in for the role of brents character, and, i LOVED narutos voice actress trying to be a tough as nails character, it so totally fiiiiiits...anyway, disney needs to fill in the plot holes, gaps, and finish these with a movie or 2. So.. basically i loved the movie so much, i watched the first season of lab rats, and might watch the second season again, its funny, half the cast were on another show meant for adults XD.

Our whole family loves all of the Lab Rats series which we have purchased on iTunes. However, Disney should never have left this to end on a cliffhanger never to be resolved. This is where Disney shows that their real allegiance is to profit, not the audience. Honestly, at this point I don't care to purchase and/or watch any more Disney series lest I be left with unresolved cliffhangers. If it weren't for the unresolved cliffhanger, I'd give Lab Rats: Elite Force a 10 out of 10.

The new Lab Rats Elite Force chose 3 main characters from each show, but the comedy relief was kind of missing. From Lab Rats: Adam, Leo, Bob and Douglas provided lots of laughs and from Mighty Meds: Horace, Alan, Gus, and Philip as well provided lots of laughs from that series. Are we going to see these characters in future episodes or are new comedic characters going to be revealed? I really like the new show, however, you made Kaz a little too serious and Chase a little dumber. Also Skylar Storm's hair I thought should not have been high-lighted as she looks cuter with her black hair and how did Skylar become a superhero as she had no super powers, but fire or light came out from her hands? Did Davenport give Skylar a bionic power like he did to Leo? These questions need to be answered in future episodes as well. Maybe a flashback episode before the last "regular" Lab Rats show could be created to show Skylar working with Donald to create her new super powers.

I sort of understand what the crew were thinking and trying to do when they were creating this Disney spinoff series but it did not exactly fully work. There were several parts throughout this entire Disney spinoff series that could have been a whole lot better and stronger. The storyline throughout this entire Disney spinoff series could have been a whole lot better and stronger. There was no real direction. The cast selection throughout this entire Disney spinoff series was alright enough. They did not exactly fully commit nor connect to the storyline nor to their respective characters. The crew missed a chance.
