WIZARDS BEYOND WAVERLY PLACE – “Everything is Not What It Seems” (Disney/Eric McCandless) JANICE LEANN BROWN, DAVID HENRIE - Disney/Eric McCandless
Everything is not what it seems because Wizards Beyond Waverly Place ended without explaining a few plot lines. Fans are disappointed in the final season, which omitted a few key points.
WARNING: This post contains spoilers for Season 3 of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. As the Russos tried to find out where Alex (Selena Gomez) was stuck, she first wound up in a dream world with her best friend, Harper Finkle (Jennifer Stone), and her ex-boyfriend, Mason Greyback (Gregg Sulkin). Harper thought Mason was going to propose, so she tried to keep Alex in the apartment until he showed up, but instead he delivered news that no one saw coming — he was dead.
There was no explanation of how, when, or where he died. It was just him telling Alex that he couldn’t propose because she knew why, and Alex replied, “Because you’re dead. That’s why all of this feels weird. It’s not real.” It was implied that the werewolf had passed away off-screen before the show’s events. The character was not seen again in the rest of the season, and no explanation was given for his shocking fate.

Alex wound up reunited with her husband, Damien Penwulf (Brandon Micheal Hall) in the finale, along with their daughter, Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), so not killing off Mason would have had fans divided on who she should wind up with.
However, some fans were still disappointed in how it all played out.
“I’m truly upset that nothing got explained it just jumped from scene to scene and had no true depths of fear. The acting was great, but the plot?? They did better in the season 2 finale,” a Reddit user said.
“Extremely disappointed. It was horrible writing. No explanations about Mason’s death, like he’s just dead; don’t know how he died, but he is,” another commented.
“Wait. I’m confused. How is he dead?” asked an X user.
“I refuse to accept this,” said another.
“Now who in the writers room thought it was a good idea to reboot Wizards and not only break up Mason and Alex but also make Mason dead?! we did NOT call for Alex to be married to a man we don’t know?!? and no, Max… i am irritated #WizardsBeyondWaverlyPlace,” a fan tweeted.

But Mason’s unexplained death wasn’t the only thing fans were disappointed in. Jake T. Austin, who played Max Russo in the original series, as well as David DeLuise, who played Jerry Russo, were not part of the final season. DeLuise appeared as a guest star in the first two seasons, but not in the final one. Austin did not appear at all.
“Was very disappointed they couldn’t get Jerry Russo for at least the very final scene at the Sub Station, especially since he’s already made several prior appearances on the show. Can understand if something came up, but for a random 4-part series finale far outside of the last airing, it would’ve been worth delaying just that one shot for even a year or more when your entire closing message is family. Just felt wrong imo,” a Reddit user said.
“So why does Max not appear at all in #WizardsBeyondWaverlyPlace? Seems weird that he is just not mentioned,” an X user said.

The third and final issue fans had was that the Wizards Competition was mentioned, but not seen. At the very end, the family sat at their family’s sub shop, Waverly Place, eating sandwiches after defeating Nicodemus Penwulf. Justin (David Henrie) asked which of the kids would win the wizard competition, but then it faded out and ended, leaving fans wondering exactly who would win.
“The wizard competition wasn’t addressed (?) or it was addressed but never happened. I think they needed at least 3 other episodes, and they were in a hurry to end it all. That’s sad – bc it’s been a long series. People remember the beginning and the ending,” an X user wrote.
“@DavidHenrie is there going to be more episodes of WizardsBeyondWaverlyPlace so we can see who won the wizards competition,” another fan asked.
