That Plan Sucked


I’ve deleted all of my videos with copyright claims just in case they got targeted, since demonetization for them would mean copyright strikes for me. I will have to rework some of them, particularly two of the comic dubs, in which the music wasn’t the whole point. If it was the whole point, then there’s not much I can do with those videos. I will have to shift my focus to comedy (more non-musical stingers, which no one watched) and try to find non-copyrighted music to build videos around (but what isn’t copyrighted these days?). There were even claims put on videos after the fact without me being notified (usually they get tagged at upload).

I finally got around to reading Clear Card vol 6. Syaoran took the cards, which willingly went with him, and Yue and Kero are okay with it. Kaito is waiting for Sakura to create a certain card, which may be a while if she’s basically recreating the cards that were taken from her. We get backstory on him and Akiho from Momo, which may or may not be legit. Kaito was the most powerful child sorcerer of all time and was taken in by the group that he’d recently left. Akiho was apparently a squib who was neglected by her family’s clan. Her parents exist but died when she was a baby (so no trying for a second magical child). However, she’s also the treasure that Kaito stole from them, not the book he’s trying to unlock with Sakura’s magic. Speaking of that, Fujitaka’s library seems to be a powerful place that Kaito doesn’t want Akiho to enter. He turns back time to prevent her from getting her true memories back (she doesn’t remember her magical roots, just that her parents were never home and books were her only friends) and seems to have sealed some of Sakura’s magic as well, since Yukito and Kero fell asleep. I still don’t get him. Kaito’s plan sucks.

Weiss is getting criticized (mostly by her mom, maybe by the fans) for leaving her brother behind. She absolutely should’ve left him behind, and here’s why: Whitley isn’t a huntsman. Weiss almost died, and had he been with her, Whitley would definitely have died or at least been mentally scarred by everything that happened between Weiss’ plane crash and getting kidnapped by Yang’s mom to Weiss getting stabbed by Cinder to the train crash to the Apathy Grimm and then finally making it back to Atlas. The truth is that Willow needs to be a better mom and should not force those responsibilities onto her daughters. Even in my family, the women know to leave a bad situation at least temporarily and to at least bring the youngest with them. What was Whitley doing while Weiss was at Beacon? She was gone then, though it was under different circumstances.

I liked episode 5 of Harley Quinn "Being Harley Quinn" where they go inside her mind. It made me think about Raven’s episode “Nevermore.” Ivy has really good hair too. Wayne Knight as Penguin was pretty great, and of course Diedrich Bader returning as Batman. I don’t like what they did to Jim Gordon, and wasn’t his wife’s name Sara (she’s dead, but still)? I don’t think they would’ve screwed up Barbara being his daughter, but somehow they did. Damian is more annoying than ever and is voiced by an actual child, which shouldn't be a problem but it sounds really jarring. Batman Ninja didn't get his character right either, but at least he was pleasant.
