Some domestic things we know about the boys

Nathan has never had detention.

Nathan hates dodgeball.

Jake had a crush on Riya, and according to Nathan, Jake wants to marry her right after college, have 2.3 children, and live in a penthouse on the bay.

Jake knows how long he’s known Riya, down to the days.

On day 2 of knowing Jake, Ricardo is already calling him ‘bro’ and trying to help with his girl problems.

Wingspan mentions he doesn’t have pockets in his superhero costume, but knowing all the costumes are made similarly, we can guess Stretch and Omnimass don’t have pockets either.

They always get snowcones after a mission.

Nathan’s grandpa used to run a newspaper.

Nathan lives with his parents, grandpa, five brothers, and his one sister, Isabelle. We can see that Isabelle and two of his brothers are younger than him.

Something I like about Stretch Armstrong & the Flex Fighters is that it features semi-realistic depictions of unhealthy, or at least worrying, family situations for teenage boys and how that impacts emotions/behavior.

For example, Mr. Armstrong aggressively pushes Jake to overachieve, all while being physically & emotionally unavailable to his son and ignoring their mutual pain over the loss of Mrs. Armstrong. Jake RECOGNIZES this as incorrect, but is unable to confront his dad. 

Ricardo’s parents are nearly always working, often breaking promises to spend time with their child. Again, Ricardo knows this is wrong, but seems unable to address or alter the dynamic. Moreover, this lack of permanence & attention has taken a SERIOUS toll on Ricardo’s self image & social skills. 

Both Jake & Ricardo have clean, well maintained living conditions. They go to school, are physically fit and eat well. Their parents are gainfully employed and wish the best for their children… yet it is evident that something is WRONG in these households and it is hurting these kids.

So, you have 2 heroic teenage-boy characters in a BOY’S ACTION SHOW who are written to experience and express sadness & anxiety over their parent’s lack of positive input in their lives. They are allowed to be upset that they are being emotionally neglected. 

Neglect/abuse is not presented as something that happens in “bad” homes, and it doesn’t create “bad” kids. Jake & Ricardo are our heroes! Nevertheless, it is happens and has an impact.

May I hit y'all with a hot take
