I like how the main female lead had an identity crisis for two movies because her mom didn't tell her that she was like 1 quarter of an alien race

I love how there's zombies, werewolves, and now there are aliens, but they only exist in this one town as if the rest of the world doesn't exist.

Zombies: face discrimination every day Werewolves: were mistreated and forgotten about Aliens: literally homeless Addison: well, my hair is slightly blonder than normal so I TOTALLY understand how you feel

Does no one else think it’s narcissistic that Addison was just like "Yep, I’m the most important thing in Westbrook " without even consulting with anyone 💀

Honestly the CGI for the alien mothership isn’t that bad for a Disney Channel Original Movie Edit: 5.6K likes. Wow Another Edit: For all the people saying “yeah it has a higher budget because it’s a Disney Plus film and not a DCOM” it is a DCOM, it says at the end of the film

What I don’t like about Addison is that she acts like she has a horrible life just because of her hair color. Like she is the most popular girl in the school, everyone loves her, she has loving parents and still act’s like her hair is something that she gets discriminated for, while the monster’s have to fight for their rights and get disgusted look’s from people, but apparently Addison is the one whit a hard life😒 It mostly pisses me off,because I actually got bullied because of my hair color this year and it really affected me mentally😥

Addison’s issue with her white hair would’ve made way more sense of zombies had white and green hair. Then her white hair would scare people into thinking she’s a zombie, which would’ve been way more compelling. She would have to wear a wig to avoid people being afraid of her or thinking she’s a zombie. But no, turns out she’s just an a werewolf/alien or whatever.

addison is the type of person who takes a genealogy test and finds out they have some small amount of a historical oppressed ethnicity in them and that becomes their personality

Addisons character makes me so angry. She acts like having white hair makes her oppressed. She is a conventionally attractive, straight white girl whose mother is the mayor. She could literally get away with murder. She is NOT oppressed.

Addison is Mary Sue. She has no flaw, “exceeds” in cheerleading and is friendly to literally everyone. Also always “the chosen” in monster conflicts.

What’s crazy to me about Addison is the fact that she had problems with herself only because of some white hair, which honestly seemed more like a platinum blonde. Like, there are people with some real problems but Disney had to use a hair color to make her feel different and unusual?

What gets me honestly is how Addison is easily able to get her alien powers a little while after she finds out she might be an alien (she 1/4 alien since grandma married human and mom married human) also how quickly she was like “okay I’m a 1/4 alien. Im going to leave my friends and family for beings who tried to destroy the town that I was literally raised in” like what? Girl make it make sense.

The zombies franchise is a perfect example of a series that only needed one movie

I can’t with how Addison went from ‘qUirKy relatable teen’ into a furry EmO kid into an alien!? I can’t-

I still can't believe they're still on Addison having white hair and wearing wigs is totally on the same level as the plights zombies, werewolves, and the aliens had to go through. Like girl, you have the perfect life, the perfect school life, everyone loves you, and you're conventionally attractive.

What every character did in these movies: Zed: 1: helped zombies get better rights 2: ran for president 3: tried getting into college Addison: 1: helped the zombies and compared them to her hair 2: helped the werewolves and compared them to her hair 3: helped the aliens and was revealed to be one… after comparing them to her hair. Bucky: 1: was a giant a hole 2: was annoying 3: luckily wasn’t in it to much Eliza: 1: was bullied 2: protested 3: I don’t remember Main werewolf girl 2: howled and talked about moon stone 3: howled and talked about moon stone, while hating the alien Everyone else: Nothing of value… and I’m to lazy to rewatch and see what the aliens did.

Let's be honest, this is *not* just going to be a trilogy.

There is a lot I have a problem with in this trilogy, but it seems like Addison just gets dumber the older she is and there’s no character growth in her. She acts like one little minor inconvenience ruins her whole life. She has an amazing group of friends, she’s popular, her parents go along with whatever crazy adventure she wants to go on, and she acts like she can relate to everyone else’s problems, and can’t recognize her own privilege.

I like how the only thing that differentiates these humans, zombies and aliens are their hair color

Zombies 1: I wanna be a cheerleader Zombies 2: I wanna be a werewolf Zombies 3: I wanna be an alien Zombies 4: I wanna be a mermaid

This movie felt more like an extremely long satirical skit you’d find on KZfaq than an actual Disney Movie

Basically the zombie trilogy: Move 1: People are rascist towards zombies Movie 2: Addison embarrassed herself infront of a lot of people Movie 3: Addison is slightly more different than all the other kids Edit: nice 1k

The "her mom's real name is like A pLaCeNtA or something" got me 🤣🤣🤣13:01

“Now everybody can go to college, *EVEN REDHEADS* ” TOOK ME OUT 😭🤣

As soon as the aliens said “we need to find the most precious thing in Sea brook” I immediately was like “oh. It’s gonna be Addison, isn’t it.” Because that’s always how these movies go.

These movies could've been a little more tolerable if Addison wasn't linked with literally everything

Even red heads?!?! 18:01 💀💀💀

One thing that makes me mad is that Addison is like “My god it was so hard to have white hair” girl you didnt even tell anyone. You basically lived either a normal life

One of the stupidest things is the fact that Addison is like “ I have nowhere to belong 😭” when literally Everyone loves her- zombies, cheerleaders, Wolfs. It’s so stupid. Her whole personality is attempting to be quirky and different and acts as if she is hiding herself all cuz she had white hair-and it’s more of a blonde anyways.

Props to the person on the last video who predicted that the “A” in Addison would foreshadow her being an alien. Not a huge leap, considering all the zombies have “Z” names and the werewolves have “W” names, but still, good on you whoever you are. You predicted the idiocy. Also, can Addison’s mom do an alien transformation too? Because Addison is only 25% alien while her mother is 50%, so I feel like her mother should be able to do that too.

I have to admit there’s one scene in this film where Zed is scared of something and he huddles close to Addison and she holds him and it’s so cute how it subverts gender expectations of the guy always being the protective one in the relationship

10:42 - love how she had like at least a solid 10 seconds to look at Zed but proceeded to punch him anyway.

So let me get this straight. She hid the key to the “utopia” on the utopia? Why didn’t she just tell them it was the utopia?

The one thing that bothers me is that Addison was beamed up because she's "part alien", yet at the end we discover that her mom also has the white hair. Under this logic, wouldn't the mother have been beamed up too? But I guess that ruins the plot twist so logic is out of the window

so basically each movie is about addison getting a new hair color

Can we talk about how Addison's "reflexes" supposedly made her hit Zed after she should have already been perfectly aware it was Zed, as she turned around, and threw a punch that he blocked, before the second one?

A-lan really spent 3 minutes on Earth, took one look at Zed and decided “this guy needs to be taken down a peg” which I respect. But like if there’s anyone who needs to be taken down a peg it’s Addison.

I feel addisons character couldve been much better if she had literally any other kind of trauma like some sort of facial scar that's difficult to hide. This would've justified people 'alienating' her and kids don't know what's insensitive so she would get really into makeup to hide herself and try not to stand out at all.

“Her name is uh placenta or something.” Had me wheezing

Zombies: Were isolated and discriminated Werewolves: Were forgotten about and nearly died from lack of their moonstones Aliens: Literally homeless Addison: "I have pLaTiNuM blOndE hair, I'm so depressed "

Okay but how did Addison transform into a 100% super alien at the press of a button when she's like 25% alien? Wouldn't that be like one of those face scales and maybe a blue streak?

I love how Addison thinks she doesn’t fit in just because she has white hair when there was a whole race who were isolated right next to them just for existing. I also love how we’re expected to feel bad for Addison more than anyone else because “At least Zed has the zombie community, she doesn’t have aNyOnE.” As if people don’t absolutely love her and never judge her for her white hair. She basically just made up these problems in her head and then got rewarded with super cool yet vague alien powers.

“🎶🎵🎶🎵Disney channel movies, they don’t always make sense🎵🎶🎵🎶” is my new favourite phrase😂

5:17 is the best dancing ever

Personally I'm not sure what Addison is complaining about being an outsider with her hair. To me it looks like platinum blonde hair. How can anyone pity this character. Her life is perfect or almost nothing bad compared to what the other zombies and werewolves are going through.

I'm glad I'm not the only who notices how Addison literally makes every supernatural creature her personality. Like home girl is a real Mary Sue trying to please everyone... 😭

Zombies 1: A bit cringe ovi, but not bad. Zombies 2: A bit worse. Zombies 3: F*cking stupid.

One of my top 5 favorite moments is when the aliens sing 'don t be afraid of us cause we're not dangerous' right after they blow up a building

Can we talk about the fact that a major alien invasion happened. They literally blew stuff up and took them into custody. And the adults decide to let a bunch of teenagers interrogate them….. like what gives Bonzo and Zed The authority to be the ones to interrogate them?????

Man, I'm so glad that Addison's "flaw" isn't something that's already considered "cool" and "attractive" by the majority, used in attractive fantasy character designs in almost every movie and series, because Disney refuses to give their character actual imperfections! Oh wait, *it is.*

13:07 thank you because all I had to do was see the trailer because Addison in every zombie movie "has found where she belongs"🤦‍♂️😂😂

16:12 the map isnt a what ti is a who and its-a me Mario

Addison’s whole personality literally is her hair , cheerleading and having a zombi boyfriend

Honestly, I feel like if Zombies had a little more emotional depth (and if Addison didn't keep trying to be a minority so she could feel "different") then it could be a lot better, cause I think the movies are cute and enjoyable and could have been great

And here I am, rewatching this video a year later knowing there will be a 4th movie…

16:30 if you knew people who are grandparents you’d know that it’s so fucking true. They really do love their grandkids more than their own children lmao

Okay, let's be real for a second. If a town went through both a zombie apocalypse and a pack of werewolves attacking, and somehow BEFRIENDED both of those... an alien invasion is the last thing they'd get up in arms about. Like, odds are they'd just be like, "Yeah, okay... the hell do you want? Most precious thing for coordinates? Yeah, sure, knock yourself out for a couple days, why not?..."

My brother watched it as soon as it came out. I walked in and asked him why the hell he was watching a kids show, and he simply responded: “I’m educating myself for Alex’s next episode.”

Addison wants to be everything. Part off the zombies, werewolf’s and now aliens!

the fact that Zed keeps breaking the fourth wall literally destroys the movie

"Take us to your leader... Your cheerleader" You just know this whole movie was made because someone thought of that line

The story should have been: - She was bullied for her extremely pale blue hair so severely her confidence and self-esteem was shattered, so she began wearing a wig at six years old. - Ten years later when zombies are reintegrated into society. They have been cured of their cannibalistic tendencies by scientists, but their appearances are still the same: Green hair, colorless skin, etc. Addison notices that they are being bullied for their appearance and can empathize. - She meets Zed during the lockdown and hits it off with him until she hints at sharing his struggles, and he angrily disagrees with her, enlightening her as to how society oppressed his race for years. - After the events of the lockdown, Addison tells the new cheerleader (and her current best friend) Bree what happened, and takes off her wig in a moment of vulnerability. As respectfully as she can, Bree tells Addison that she is being ridiculous and that her childhood bullies were shallow and immature - and unfortunately, many adults are as well. - With this new perspective, Addison apologizes to Zed and asks him to show her Zombietown. While there, she learns to appreciate the perseverance of the lower class. She tells Zed how silly she was, tosses her wig into a conveniently located trash can bonfire, and the two share a passionate kiss. - When the classist cheerleaders (who could not care less about hair color) bully Eliza - one of Zed’s friends - she retaliates and punches the team captain in the cheek. In response, the mayor (still Addison’s mom) has all zombies deported back to Zombietown, despite her daughter’s protests. When Addison asks the mayor why this decision was made, her mother admits that she has no conscious prejudices against zombies, but the citizens of Seabrook were not likely to re-elect her unless she made an example of such “violent instigators”. Ashamed of her mother’s actions, Addison storms off. - The next day, Addison contacts Zed and Bree. With the mayor’s permission (to make up for her mistake), the three of them meet up with the cheerleaders under the false pretenses of celebrating Bree’s birthday (which happened two months before she moved to Seabrook). The cheerleaders are naturally infuriated at having been deceived, but after Zed and Addison inform them of their romance, they agree to tolerate zombies (and are even more motivated to do so after Bree reveals that she baked everyone cupcakes - it is a Disney Channel Original Movie). - Encouraged by their success, the mayor grants the zombies official Seabrook citizenship, and they are reintegrated into the town once more. Zombie students are finally allowed to join extracurriculars, and Zed leads the local high school to their first football game victory in four years. The first movie ends with the cheerleaders winning second place in the cheer competition, while Addison and Zed share a second kiss after the encore. (The movie still wouldn't need to become a trilogy if they dismissed Addison's hair as a genetic anomaly or some lime soda gas her mom inhaled while pregnant that BARELY affected their genes, but if they really want to milk this cash cow...) Second movie: When word of successful zombie integration reaches the werewolves via broadcast (yes the werewolf society that lives in the woods has television - it’s still Disney Channel), they finally see an opportunity to reclaim the moonstone stolen from them years before without violence. The mayor informs them that they need the moonstone to power the town, but if the town can obtain an elusive mineral capable of providing eternal energy once it makes contact the moonstone (I’m going to call it sabomene for now), the moonstone will be returned to them. - Zed, Addison, and Eliza are sent on the quest as teenage emissaries (the lifespan of an average werewolf has significantly decreased without access to their moonstone, with most dying in their twenties, despite their moonstone accessories granting them a few more years of life). As they walk through town, Zed becomes conflicted by how casually everyone addresses the werewolves. He confides in Addison, telling her how happy he is that things have changed, but frustrated by how long the change took. Not knowing what to say, Addison simply listens to Zed, and when asked about her silence, she confesses that she can’t find the right words. Zed understands and reassures Addison that he knows how much she supports him just by listening. - After a few unrelated shenanigans, the group reaches the old sabomene quarry, and the search begins. Night falls after an unsuccessful first day, and everyone sets up camp. They later adjourn around a campfire, where Addison explains how despite sabomene being difficult to find, the mineral is in abundance wherever it is found. When asked why the moonstone was taken in the first place, she reveals that after the sabomene quarries ran dry, the townspeople of Seabrook offered to return the moonstone when they no longer needed it, but they never bothered to find another solution, and the werewolves reveal that their ancestors were “encouraged” to return to their home in the Brookwood (the name “Forbidden Forest” is stolen from Harry Potter), where they awaited an opportunity to peacefully enter Seabrook, seeing as they became too weak to take the moonstone by force. Zed empathizes with the werewolves at having been cast out from society, but assures them that Seabrook has changed. A few werewolves confess their desire to live in Seabrook, but their de facto leader Willow is not convinced that leaving the Brookwood is best for her peers. - Meanwhile, there is a B-plot about a few werewolves who didn’t go to the quarry. Instead, they opted to enroll in the local high school, and the plot follows how they adjust to their new environment and the approaching prom. It’s less important to the story, but it’s interesting enough to satisfactorily pad the runtime. - After a few more fruitless endeavors, the group finally discovers a sabomene deposit behind a wall of stone. They carefully excavate the amber-colored mineral (there isn’t enough yellow in this trilogy), and Addison finds the sabomene to feel eerily familiar. They then return to the world above, where they exchange the sabomene (already touched by the moonstone accessories) with the mayor for the moonstone. Before it can be returned to the Brookwood, Willow and her companions reconvene with the werewolves who chose to attend high school, and agree to leave the forest after taking note of how tolerant Seabrook has finally become. The second movie ends with everyone at the prom, dancing and having a good time. Third movie: The aliens’ home was obliterated by an asteroid many years ago, and they have been searching for a new home. - They sent multiple scouts to find a safe town on Earth, and Addison’s grandparents were sent to Seabrook. - Sabomene is used by the aliens as spaceship fuel, and the scouts hid the mineral all over Earth to replenish their ships’ fuel in case they couldn’t live there after all. - Addison’s grandparents find Seabrook to be fit for aliens, but without enough sabomene to fuel their communications, the aliens still in space can’t confirm this, so they travel to every scouted location until they reach Seabrook. Used sabomene can be worn as jewelry, which is why Addison finds it familiar - her grandparents wore sabomene bracelets as symbols of their union. - The mayor tells Addison the truth about her heritage, having only kept it from everyone (including Addison) to prevent being discriminated against. She apologizes to Addison and regrets not trusting her, and the latter is naturally angry at first, but later comes to understand her mother’s reasoning. - Addison then learns more about her heritage and befriends the aliens. They attend school and share some of their technology with Seabrook to gain their trust. - Addison’s grandparents engraved a message of confirmation onto an alien artifact. They then donated it to the local museum that is currently closed for renovations. All of the items are locked in a warehouse that the main characters help the aliens break into during their evening graduation ceremony (complete with wacky antics to ensure that no one knows they’re gone; it’s still Disney Channel people). They find the artifact with the message of confirmation, and the aliens move to Seabrook. Unrelated: After bonding in the second movie (I didn’t mention it because it wasn’t a major plot point), Eliza and Willow begin dating, and the chemistry is palpable throughout the entire movie. - Addison is 50% alien and her mother is 100% alien (and she has her own transformation scene where she takes the wig SHE wore - partially due to discrimination and zombie association, but also because the pale turquoise color clashed with everything - it’s still Disney Channel). When they transform, their hair turns a standard bright blue alien color, but Addison's has thin platinum white streaks and face stickers half the size of those on an average alien. - The mayor didn’t tell Addison because she didn't not want her to face the kind of discrimination that zombies had to endure for years. - Addison decides to learn more about her heritage and culture while simultaneously befriending the other aliens. Despite what she learns about herself, she doesn’t change her entire identity. - The aliens are upfront about their objective to save everyone time. - A-spen is still non-binary, but they develop a crush on one of the cheerleaders or someone else entirely. - The key to their utopia is just a message engraved on an alien artifact that says something along the lines of, “Welcome home" or "Utopia confirmed". - Bucky is not in this movie or in either of the previous two (and if he is, he is toned down JUST A SMIDGE).

“DO NOT WINK AT ME SIR” SLAP* I canttttt 🤣😅🤣🤣🤣

I like how the aliens beamed down and instantly started hitting the griddy

Are we gonna just gloss over how Bucky stole the mothership at the end of the credits and is actually extremely dead because, according to the aliens, only their species can survive intergalactic travel on the mothership?

I don't even watch Disney movies. I watch Alex's channel ONLY for his side commentary. This episode especially knocked it out of the park! Well done

props to all the extras for not bursting out laughing from the delivery of all these lines lol

14:59, ngl one of the faces of those wolves was hilarious!🤣

There’s a third one?!?

Zombies 3 is basically: Zed is on crack, Addison decided to be alien, the werewolves honestly kinda slayed (especially the song-), aliens being- robots, and everyone needs help

My complaints about the movie (Not all of them,because if it was all of them this would take forever): #1: The songs and choreography really went down. The dancing was just kind of *bad,* and the songs felt like they were just there because they had to be most of the time,and they weren't as catchy,and they lost their flow. #2: THEY SHOVED *2 RELATIONSHIPS* IN THIS MOVIE,BOTH WITH CHARACTERS THAT BARELY HAD ANY INTERACTIONS. #3: If I see one more movie where the aliens are just humans with differently colored hair,some fancy technology,psychic powers,and slightly higher intelligence,I'm going to *scream.* I WANT TO SEE E.T. OR SOMETHiNG. #4: "I don't have AnYoNe" - Addison,2022. Everyone literally loves you. LITERALLY,EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE SERIES LOVES YOU. #5: IF ZED DOESN'T SHUT UP ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE,SO FREAKING HELP ME. *YOU ARE BEING INVADED BY ALIENS* Thank you for attending my TED ̶R̶a̶n̶t̶ Talk. Edit: 2 things I like about the movie are the queer representation,with Aspen and Willa forming a relationship,and also... They had *RuPaul* as the mothership. *Genius.*

I love how closeminded Seakbrook is because it exclusively serves the purpose of resetting the plot for a new type of monster to show up.

That joke about getting the scammed in the student loans and only being paid at $18 after getting a bachelor's degree will never not be funny and we'll only get funnier with time

There’s a third one?! Oh god! Side notes: Whoever created the storybook art at the beginning was working over time for this film. The cast also look like they are being held hostage at this point. Last thing: are there only Zombies in Seabrook? Are all the colleges in the country going to marginalize like, 20 people from a small, shitty town?

I feel like dating a zombie would be super unsexy. The constant smell of rotting flesh, decaying, farting... yeah no... ill stick to the living

“First of all get in line” that came out of nowhere

So its said by other characters towards the end of the film that Bucky and Addison share a grandmother. That would mean that the grandma had more than one kid, but we only hear about Addison’s mum. And the grandma called Addison ‘her most precious thing’. What about Bucky? No wonder Bucky loves himself so much - someone had to, because his grandma obviously didn’t!!

Addison's character was so annoying. She's the daughter of the mayor, cousin of cheerleader captain turned cheer captain herself, gets along with everyone, and has a fairly popular boyfriend by the second movie. She had nothing to complain about in her own life in the first movie other than her hair which was accepted by the end. Despite this she still feels she doesn't belong and tried to equate her minor hair issue with oppression. If she actually looked different from the other seabrooke characters, like having blue hair and a unconventional eye color, then I could understand her feeling like she doesn't belong. They could've even given her interests outside of cheer on top of the white hair and make it so she was forced to cheer so she belonged. Then they could have her explore those different hobbies and be ostracized for it. Then she could figure out who she is and actually have issues in how she's treated instead of making her not belong because she wants to be special on top of perfect and giving her what she wants.

I'm so glad he was talking about how Addison just changes to be whatever the people around her are. It's so stupid and ruined the movies. Also the alien thing was so predictable even back in the second movie when she has blue light shine on her for no reason.

14:17 she’s just dropping straight bars

We need an intervention for Alex. He keeps exposing himself to highly toxic levels of Disney rubbish. I'm concerned people!!!

Her complaining about her life’s problems is like rich ppl in the real world complaining about the small things that would be a privilege to lower class ppl

"i have white hair. I dont feel like i belong." Girl, DYE YOUR HAIR!!

Honestly, i kinda like this whole trilogy. Its dumb and i still don't understand what happens, but i somewhat like the songs. And also i think that the movie is very fun.

The Zed plotline was actually really good. Addison is a whole mess, tho. Most of my issues with this movie revolve around her nonsense behavior.

It confuses me how Addison did the whole transformation into a “werewolf” with the werewolves in the last movie, but then she ends up being an alien?? Like, make up your mind.

"Dance them till they're dead" Had me dying🤣

The zombies cast sounds really nice I probably would of love to be in the cast if I didn’t have stage fright 💀

I’m honestly disappointed that Addison wasn’t kidnapped by her parents after accidentally crashing into Seabrook. That would have been much more interesting Edit: also, when all the aliens (including Addison) were beamed up by the ship, why wasn’t Addison’s mom also there?

Honestly, the one thing that pissed me off was how addison the whole time was acting like her hair made her some sort of monster-equivalent. When she was still, up until this movie, a human. Like if they played into the whole Seabrook eutopia/dystopia thing and made them a lot more unforgiving for ANY kind of differences and showed the effects, maybe it could have worked ??? But like... the way they played her in this trilogy was SO... it wasn't great

Looking forward to your video about Zombies 4, where we learn that Addison's grandfather was from Atlantis

The Day the movie came out. It was the day before my cousin got buried.😭😭 so this makes me think of him

That one alien is by far the most relatable character in this entire trilogy. If nothing else for the "she wants to rip your heart" "she can have it"

I just love how with each of these movies they do Addison's "white" hair better while at the same time making it more just an average platinum blonde colour also why the heck are her eyebrows dark brown if her natural hair colour is supposed to be white??? Edit: Ok ngl I LOVE the mix of blues they made her hair!

I love the “shut up you’re not my real dad” song comeback!! 🤣🤣😭

“Aw crap I gotta get my cheese curds” 😂

I would love to see someone rewrite this. 1. Make Addison actually a fleshed out character. Give her some type of reason to not like the hair she has. You don't even have to give her reason just have someone call out her bullshit. 2. Flesh out the zombies, werewolves, and aliens. I'd love to see more into their perspective and personalities. 3. If someone is writing about the theme of oppression just just Zombies 1, make sure it's actual oppression. Zombies need the Z bands to not hurt someone so they are actually dangerous if that band goes haywire.

not only did the message of this movie suck, I'd also like to point out how SUCKY the mom was for letting Addison think she was different and alone and a freak for having white hair. Even if they kept the secret in the home she could have told her own daughter that she was like her.

The “even red heads” gets me every time.

13 minutes in, someone in a previous zombie movie video you did, absolutely saw it coming, and I kept thinking about it, and when this movie review you put on had all the sky stuff of things falling, i was like.... this one is going to be aliens, and she's going to be one. It just is like that sometimes, where the pieces fit too nicely. Now i'm not naive enough to not consider the possibility that they already knew because of when these movies were released relative to your plot-reads and anylsis.
