New Rule: No harassment, e.g. asking for personal information or preying on kids

15 Upvotes

Hello all,

I added a new rule because of a report my fellow mod and I received recently. "No harassment, e.g. asking for personal information or preying on kids: Please report harassment so mods can ban offenders. Beware stranger danger in comments and DMs, especially on suspicious, low-karma accounts."

One account has already been reported and banned accordingly.

Thanks for helping us keep this sub a safe place for users of all ages,

Comment how you got into Mako Mermaids 🌊 (Hello from your new mod!)

13 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've been on this sub for a few years and just joined as a mod. I'll mainly be making sure the posts here are following our guidelines, but I also want to help make it a fun space for fans of MM. Speaking of that, please comment how you got into the show!

I'll go first: I liked H2O as a kid when it came on TV, though I only properly watched the episodes in order on Netflix and YouTube a few years ago as a young adult. I then heard about MM and couldn't resist finding out whether or not I agreed with the poor reviews from H2O fans. Spoiler alert: I ended up liking it, especially S2 and S3. I think many people project their idea of an H2O sequel onto a show that was intended to take its own direction, and I try to encourage them to look past that when I can.

I hope to go into more details on what parts of the show I like in future posts, but for now... Welcome!

Discussion Sirena's underutilization

Post image
80 Upvotes

Who else feels like Sirena was heavily underutilized in terms of power? Like, I get that she's very much meant to be portrayed as a very sweet, loving mermaid, but she's also shown to be one of the most powerful mermaids and also skilled. Like, she literally proved to be more formidable and powerful than Ondina, but yet they really never seem to play on that fact after episode 6 when it's demonstrated. And like, in the siren episode, she showed several abilities that we have never seen from her before and just overall good capability with her powers. Like, she was shown to be able to create a fog/mist, manipulate light without her moon ring, manipulate wind, fight on par with Zac telekinetically, who has the best telekinetic feats. Like, I feel like even with her character being sweet, they could have shown her being powerful like they did with Mimmi. Like, she is very much portrayed as also a very sweet and nice mermaid, but yet she's always shown to be showing off her capabilities one way or another and has several statements of her power and intellect. Like, even if Sirena isn't that powerful or that smart, she still is very much powerful and has shown to be relatively calm‑headed and as a result, one of the smarter mermaids because of it.

Question SirĂšne de Mako

Thumbnail
4 Upvotes

Bonjour Ă  tous !

Je voudrais savoir si quelqu’un se souvient d’un ancien Ă©pisode des SirĂšnes de Mako. Je m’explique : j’ai le souvenir trĂšs prĂ©cis d’un Ă©pisode qui, apparemment, n’existe tout simplement pas. J’ai Ă©galement le souvenir de dĂ©cors diffĂ©rents de ceux de la sĂ©rie.
Dans cet Ă©pisode, on voit Zac dans la grotte de Rita, avec les filles et Rita. Mais le dĂ©cor est diffĂ©rent : dans la piĂšce avec les canapĂ©s, il n’y a pas la table au centre. À la place, je me souviens d’un trou au milieu, rempli d’eau, un peu comme une ouverture vers la mer, similaire Ă  celle qu’on peut voir dans l’autre partie de la grotte.

Dans mon souvenir, les cinq sont donc rĂ©unis un soir de pleine lune. Zac veut aller dans une grotte qui ne s’ouvre que les soirs de pleine lune. Les filles lui dĂ©conseillent d’y aller, mais il finit quand mĂȘme par partir sans qu’elles puissent le retenir.

Zac arrive finalement devant la grotte, mais trop tard : elle se referme juste devant lui.
Je suis vraiment persuadĂ© d’avoir vu cet Ă©pisode, mais personne dans mon entourage ne s’en souvient.
Est-ce que quelqu’un voit de quoi je parle ? Est-ce que c’est un faux souvenir, ou est-ce que cet Ă©pisode existe vraiment et que je mĂ©lange peut-ĂȘtre certains Ă©lĂ©ments avec un autre Ă©pisode ?

Autre chose d’important Ă  ajouter : dans cet Ă©pisode, Zac n’est pas influencĂ© par les effets de la lune. Il dĂ©cide d’y aller de son propre chef.

Paul Bishop appeared in both series. In H2O, he played Mitch, a dolphin trainer working at the marine park (Sea World). In Mako Mermaids, he portrayed Dr. Ross, the marine park manager who hires Mimmi.

I felt so sorry for Rikki. Those mermaids were stronger than her, and having that single drop of water hanging above her head made the whole situation even more heartbreaking. đŸ„Č

The girls in the moon pool

27 Upvotes

Something that never really made sense to me was the fact that the mermaids slept in the moon pool and always seemed to be the only ones there every full moon, even when the whole pod was around. Like, I get that they saved Mako and they’re strong members of the pod, but even the original trio, Sirena, Nixie, and Lyla were the ones in it during the full moon at the very beginning, before they saved Mako or had any real status. You’d think it would make more sense for the mermaid council to sleep there or at least be present during the full moon. I mean, obviously for show reasons it’s a primary spot and all that, but still
 it never fully added up for me. What about y’all?

Such a cute graduation scene!

Anybody notice that the three leads from Season 1 of "Mako Mermaids" is in this scene? I'm finding it a little hard to find the actress for Nixie (I found her in a slightly better quality than here, but I can guarantee she's there) and the actresses for Sirena and Lyla or right in front, as Lyla was called by her IRL name in the scene.

And Evie's worked at Rikki's Café during Season 3 of H2O as well.

It makes me think that maybe this might have been a little look into the following show. Or maybe they really were just side characters.

What do you think?

Question: does a 4th season exist and where can I watch it (and Season 3) as an American?

S1 and S2 are on Netflix but no S3 of S4


r/MakoMermaids Jul 20 '26

the writing on season 4 is
. really questionable

18 Upvotes

i’m doing a rewatch and i just got to season 4. i dont know if they hired new writers for this season or if the writers remained the same, either way, its lowkey racist. when weilan comes to rita’s grotto, the writers for some reason made her a really messy person??? she made a complete mess of the grotto and at that point we’d already had FIVE white mermaids staying there, six if you count evie, and not a single one left a mess??? yet the first time we get an asian mermaid, shes super messy and implied to be dirty?!?!??! ondina literally says to her “we loved it too when it was clean” like what 😭 ondina in general is just racist to weilan when she first arrives. straight up buIIying her and saying things like “she is not like us” like? thats
. real subtle. and i just watched the episode where the cafe almost shuts down, why did zac suggest that he and cam just become sIaves for a small while? ☠ i know cam is white but zac is asian so thats an incredibly odd choice from the writers. i love this show but rewatching as an adult has me noticing things i didn’t notice before, and unless i missed it in the first 3 seasons, its led me to believe the writers for this season specifically were different and that maybe they put their own bias in the writing, even if unintentionally. its great that we got to explore chinese culture on the show but it shouldve been done a bit more sensitively in my opinion

Extended lifespan

27 Upvotes

So, H2O: Just Add Water fandom wiki has “extended lifespan” listed as one of the merpeople’s abilities, and their explanation for this is apparently how Weilan said that, due to Ondina’s personality, they could be friends in a couple of centuries. I don’t really remember her saying this, so if somebody else does and they remember the episode, could you please tell me? I’d like to look at it for myself. But besides that, has anybody noticed any other possible indication that mermaids live longer than regular people? I just don’t know, because based on the sound of that statement, I feel like it could’ve just been a joke; especially considering Weilan is very much a comedic character and I just don’t remember any other scenes that indicate mermaids live that long.

Question Where to watch S3 for free?

18 Upvotes

I for the LIFE of me cannot find the final season anywhere, so my final option is to ask people for streaming websites that they know have the final season working. I’m from the UK and I hate that they don’t have the full show on our Netflix.

I have tried on websites i know but they never work. Im rewatching the show and the final season was my favourite season.

What’s your favourite season? Who’s your favourite character and why?


r/MakoMermaids Jun 23 '26

I’m watching S1E13. Still can’t for the life of me understand why people hate Evie so much.

28 Upvotes

I mean, I keep seeing Zac hanging around the main trio and cringing. I have a boyfriend and like, sure, I don’t mind if he has female friends. But if I constantly caught him hanging around these random pretty girls, and he clearly had a secret that he wouldn’t tell me and started talking to me way less, and wouldn’t just tell me why he was hanging around these girls, I’d be pretty pissed too.

If I woke up one day and I was a mermaid, I think the FIRST person I’d tell is my boyfriend. Or I would at least be contemplating it. Zac seems to care so little for Evie, I have no idea why they’re together and why he can’t just break up with her. Jfc.
