Frank: We should probably get going

Joe and Biff : C L I M B

I’ve started watching the 2020 version of The Hardy Boys and I love it!

It’s a bit different from other adaptations but I love some of the changes. I like that Joe and Frank have a bigger age gap because I’m a big fan of the protective older brother trope especially if the younger brother is a lot younger. I wish they’d kept Biff the same but I do like her in the show

Also it has Atticus Mitchell in it which is awesome I loved him in MBAV

Honest opinions on hardy boys season 2, you probably won't agree or like them but anyways.

Laura coming back was a good move, the show didn't know if it was gonna get renewed for another season so it needed to end on a cliffhanger, if you don't like that then you're not thinking logically enough.

They focused on the wrong relationships this season, Phil and Biff were sweet on screen but did nothing for me, Joe and Lucy was so bland and contrived. Joe didn't need a love interest and if he did, him and Biff would've worked better. I know it's stereotypical but it's at least funny and they know eachother and trust eachother, besides having a crush on your childhood best friend is hilarious. When they hugged awkwardly? When he mentioned not having a wife and then tried to rectify it? Hilarious. Lucy as a character was watered down in order to keep her vague and that bored me to death. Belinda was great for Chet's development as we did not see enough of him season 1, I would've liked to see him and Callie become friends again.

Joe and Frank had some sweet moments and I really loved the little family they built with aunt Trudy and Fenton, but again there was not enough room to focus on their relationship more, I hope they fix this in season 3.

Wilt was iconic as always, I wish they would advertise the show more, its way better then Riverdale and even though it's got some pretty weird plotlines, they make it work.

George, Nick and Bess are on a stake out for Nancy when they catch her walking hand in hand down the street with a blond haired young man who is very much not Ace, Nancy’s boyfriend. At first they think it has to be some sort of cover and ask Ace what Nancy is working on but Ace admits he doesn't know anything and asks Nancy who the guy she was seen with is. Nancy manages a weak response and Ace accuses her of cheating in front of all the Claw’s patrons. They have a massive break up which immediately gets posted on Nancy Drew’s News. George, Nick and Bess feel caught in the middle between the two as they continue to fight over Nancy’s cheating. They eventually try to get the two to talk it out which leads to an even more dramatic fight and Ace saying he wants nothing more to do with Nancy. Bess agrees to go after Ace while George and Nick work with Nancy to try to work out if there is any way to fix things.

Bess goes to Ace’s house where she finds a picture of the blond young man Nancy was with. But the picture is pretty recent and shows Ace and the guy hanging out. Ace admits that him and Nancy breaking up was all a ruse as one of Nancy’s enemies has been threatening him and they decided not to tell the others so they could gauge how convincing the act is. The guy Nancy was seen with was Ace’s high school best friend, Biff Hooper.

Ace calls up Nancy to tell her that Bess knows only for George and Nick to realise Nancy is talking to Ace on the phone because of the lovestruck expression on her face. They challenge her and she admits to the ruse to them.

With the guy threatening them left reeling as he tries to work out if Nancy still has feelings for Ace or if he should go after her mysterious new boyfriend, the Drew Crew are able to track him down and have him arrested.

Thank you, Tony "Captain Obvious" Prito. That was very valuable information no one could have figured out from all the numerous fat jokes this series makes.

@marynostop Nope Ned’s a tall boy, the tallest boy in fact. He’s the tallest reoccurring character in the Nancy Drew series

If you add the Hardy Boys characters, he gets bumped down to third. Their friend Biff becomes the tallest and then Fenton Hardy is either in second alone or tied for second with Ned

[platanchorsociety]

Biff Hooper was Ace’s high school best friend. Biff left town to pursue his dream of being a boxer but he and Ace have kept in constant contact and tell each other everything.

Biff reacts to Ace’s stories of ghosts with a 'yeah, sure, and I just knocked out the easter bunny' sort of point of view but he loves hearing them anyway. He is waiting for the day Ace and Nancy get together.

For the Hardy Boys Anniversary I thought I'd share some of my favorite absolutely ridiculous moment from the books and if you have any of your own, feel free to add on.

Is this another book facts thing?

Let's call it a Book Facts Anniversary Special!

Starting off strong with the Hardy Boys have BEEN TO SPACE

THEY SOLVED A MYSTERY IN SPACE

THEY'RE ASTRODETECTIVE

INTERSTELLAR INVESTIGATORS

Frank also threatened to leave a guy in space while they were fighting outside the shuttle.

In another book, Frank and Joe are looking for their friend whose family is in witness protection and had to go into hiding because the criminals are after them again. They're being helped by two FBI agents

That is until one of the FBI agents is ATTACKED BY A BEAR and both have to leave so he can get medical attention. Obviously, leaving the two teenage boys in charge of getting the family to safety. How do those FBI agents explain leaving two children in charge of this mission? This shouldn't even work in fiction

Later in the same book, the criminals that were chasing the family get killed in a rock slide and they just don't acknowledge it. They drop their friend off, go home and discover that their father can cook. They watched two men die like it was nothing

This ridiculous moment is medical and I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed at Frank or at Fenton with this one.

Fenton gets stabbed in a dirty shack on the beach and instead of taking him to the hospital, Frank and Joe decide to take care of it themselves. Which would be fine, if Frank didn’t use water from a rusty pump to clean the wound. He boils it, but still,,, They're in Bayport when this happens. They don't need frontier medicine.

Moving on to Joe getting stung by 45 hornets and promptly passing out from the pain as well as the venom.

As someone who was stung by an entire nest of hornets as a child, the didn't happen to me. I was confused about the legitimacy of this medical issue. I've decided that I was stronger as an 8 year old than Joe Hardy as a 17 year old.

Also while that happened, Frank got his leg cut open by a piece of shrapnel from an explosion about a mile away from that.

Although Joe later call their dad to tell him everything's under control. Fenton and I both know his sons are absolute disaster magnets like him.

I made this joke awhile ago, but still I can't believe that there is a book that implies the boys are psychic and may have been using their abilities the entire series and then it's never addressed again.

Also I'm 90% certain that their psychic friend Colin is gay and flirting with Frank.

And the Frank flirts with him back, because there is no other way describe the part where he pins him (Colin) to a wall.

Speaking of guys flirting. There are so many moments that come off gayer than intended. Guys basically flirt with them all the time and they have responded positively.

This isn't the most ridiculous, but this is just my way of wanting to talk about how they sometimes describe Captain America AKA Ned Nickerson in Super Mysteries.

They talk about how handsome, muscular, and charming he is and I know they meant it as a jealousy thing cause they wanted Nancy,,,but sometimes I'm not sure which they really wanted.

Frank running out their room to chase a bad guy in his underwear,,,this didn't happen in their home though. No this happened in a hotel,,,,in Germany.

Joe chases down a bad guy while eating ice cream

Randomly becoming volunteer firefighters for one book

Frank being held hostage with the President of the United States for a ransom of a billion dollars

and who was holding them hostage, you might ask? A magician. A magician was holding the president and Frank Hardy hostage for a ransom of a billion dollars

They also later entered an extreme sports competition with the president's son.

Speaking of competitions, Joe once joined a stunt competition with professional stuntman to protect his friend and also because he's an Aries™

but found professional stuntwork (such as jumping out of plans and driving runaway eighteen wheelers) too tame compared to what he usually does.

Not specifically about them, but I find it a little morbidly funny that their friend Biff Hooper nearly died over football. Technically there was more to it, but when you boil it down, he was nearly murdered over football.

It's ridiculous how big Frank's tiddies are on this cover.

Frank and Joe literally tie a man to his own homemade electric chair and threaten to shock him if he doesn’t give them information. They’re lying this entire threat, but oh my god that’s messed up

That one time Frank literally pushed an EMT that was taking care of an injured Joe so that he could do it instead. OMG Frank curb your overprotectiveness for five minutes so the trained medical professional could do their job

There is honestly so much more and I love these boys so much, but I think I need to cut it off here
