YMMV / Baymax!

• Adorkable: Mbita acts completely flustered whenever he's around his crush, Yukio to the point Baymax senses how he's secreting hormones when Mbita asks Yukio to go on a date.
• Awesome Moments:
  • Kiko sneaks up on Baymax and throws a knitting needle at him. Baymax effortlessly catches it without even looking.
  • While Kiko and Sofia are sneaking Baymax out of the drain, Baymax gets stuck and Kiko can't get through. So Kiko throws a cover and herself onto the drain to protect them as the building is about to be demolished. Fortunately, she doesn't need to make a Heroic Sacrifice, but it's still awesome.
• Crosses the Line Twice: In Mbita's episode, Baymax chasing someone so they can be healthy? Scary. Baymax having a needle finger as he insists on helping Mbita out with his fish allergies while Mbita is driving for his life and Italian opera plays in the background? Priceless!
• Friendly Fandoms: There are fans of Turning Red who mingle with fans of the series due to one of the episodes discussing about a girl getting her period, much like Turning Red was a metaphor for getting a period.
• Just Here for Godzilla: Most fans are mostly coming for the episode that talks about a girl going through her period that also has the scene of Baymax shopping for pads and tampons.
• LGBT Fanbase:
  • Many fans were happy to see there was transgender representation in the famous "Baymax goes shopping for pads" where a trans man (identified by the colors of his shirt) happily gives advice. Moreover, Sofia is holed up in an "All Genders Bathroom".
  • Baymax also helps the African Mbita ask Yukio out on a date.
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: The show got loads of free advertising from a viral tweet by a conservative commentator outraged about a transgender man in the scene where Baymax buys pads.
• Older Than They Think: This is not the first time that Disney tackled the topic of menstruation head on. That would be the short The Story of Menstruation, releases 76 years prior to Baymax!.
• One-Scene Wonder: The transgender man (identified by his shirt) giving Baymax advice on pads.
• Salvaged Story: Somewhat. The previous series never mentions Hiro and Tadashi's late parents after their brief mention early on in the movie. The premiere of this show implies that they were the original proprietors of the Lucky Cat Cafe and that Cass took over for them after they died.
• Signature Scene:
  • Baymax going shopping for pads and tampons. In addition to the backlash the scene endured, both for the frank discussion of menstruation and for having a trans man there buying pads, it also got a lot of praise for the exact same reasons. It's certainly the most talked-about scene in the series.
  • In the same vein, Baymax explaining that menstruation and periods aren't bad things and that it's "just biology" for how frank it is.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: The series is just about Baymax being his nice comforting self trying to help people get in good health and deal with the emotional changes in their lives.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Kiko refuses to swim not because she's afraid of water, but rather because the community pool reminds her too much of her late husband who would always encourage her to swim.
    Kiko: I got close a couple of times but...never took the leap. I wish I had.
  • After Yachi, a stray cat, spies a kitten in a loving home with a toy mouse, he recreates a toy mouse out of objects he finds on the ground, curling around it sadly.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
  • Tadashi, Baymax's creator, is never mentioned or featured in recordings/flashbacks, so the series never delves into what inspired Baymax's creation. A newcomer to the franchise who begins with this series might assume Hiro created Baymax given his skill with robotics.
  • Abigail Callaghan could have been brought back as a patient as the last time we see her in the film, she's being put in an ambulance to be treated for her unexpected hyper-sleep. The show could have shown us how she's recovering from her ordeal.
  • Making Kiko Hiro's grandmother would have provided a good opportunity to explore his family beyond Tadashi and Cass.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
  • The Cass episode was a perfect opportunity to have more discussion about Hiro and Tadashi's parents, including how they died, but instead boils down to Cass fearing that she'll lose business if her customers have to buy coffee elsewhere.
  • Tying into They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character above, a show with Baymax's healthcare duties as the central focus could have shown us what inspired Tadashi to create Baymax in the first place, even tying the show closer to Big Hero 6: The Series by bringing back his co-creator Dr. Lily from "City of Monsters."
• Watched It for the Representation: San Fransokyo is as diverse as one of the cities that inspired it, and many viewers tuned in to enjoy a human cast made up predominately of people of color, with a trans man being given a minor-but-important role in Episode 3, and a gay black man trying to pluck up the courage to talk to his crush being the patient in Episode 4.
