WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.600 Case 10, Vanish of Kamen Rider Zets. Let's talk 00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.000 about what stood out. I liked the action in this 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.339 one a lot. The Nightmare looked wild, like a 00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:10.119 demonic Mickey Mouse mixed with a sheep or a 00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.439 dust bunny, maybe? I'm not really sure. He had 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.619 these crazy glasses on. The vocal performance 00:00:14.619 --> 00:00:16.260 actually reminded me a little bit of Edemon, 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.239 the English language version of Edemon. I don't 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.820 know what Japanese Edemon sounded like, but I 00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:23.699 thought, I wonder if this is what Japanese Edemon 00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:25.320 sounded like, and then they decided to give him 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.760 a little, you know, kingly attitude, or what, 00:00:28.859 --> 00:00:32.109 but anyway. So, yeah, the action was really cool. 00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:34.289 What I really liked was they, again, pushed the 00:00:34.289 --> 00:00:37.250 dream logic, and there were even little interesting 00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:39.549 dream logic flourishes, like when they're fighting 00:00:39.549 --> 00:00:41.850 inside this art museum, built this weird, like, 00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:44.789 upside -down pyramid. Ah, Edelman! See? It's 00:00:44.789 --> 00:00:46.890 all connected. Anyway, when they're fighting 00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:48.350 this building with this upside -down triangle 00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:53.329 structure to it, there's screens that are showing 00:00:53.329 --> 00:00:55.429 some of the action that's going on. So it's showing... 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.140 uh, Zets fighting with the Nightmare, and it's 00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:04.219 also showing Nox trying to shoot, I think he 00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:05.439 was trying to shoot Zero, which we'll get back 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.000 to that later, hopefully I remember to actually 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.239 come back to that, but, uh, anyway, it's cool, 00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:11.099 because it's showing it on, like, a white screen 00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:12.840 projector, with, like, a little projector firing 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.379 at it, and so you can tell, like, the visual 00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:16.340 quality of it is not great, like, it's obviously 00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.400 not, like, um, CGI'd in, or, or, um, what would 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.879 you call that? composited into the scene it's 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.280 their they're recording a projection of a recording 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.040 uh that's either canned or live and it's like 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.719 even nox is seeing from a different angle so 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.840 you see him you know looking this way but it's 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.260 the camera's like looking at his face um that's 00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:36.840 showing on the projected screen and it's just 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.939 really neat because it's like extra visuals and 00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:42.299 then at some point uh zets charges at the nightmare 00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:46.140 and they go through the screen to the location 00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:49.219 outside that it's showing at this point, and 00:01:49.219 --> 00:01:50.379 that's how it transitions. There's a little, 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.480 you know, whatever, CGI haze, and they ended 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.359 up showing him going through into that scene 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.519 fighting the thing, which was really, really 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.780 cool, and I really liked that. So I wanted to 00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:01.099 praise it because I'm going to unpraise it in 00:02:01.099 --> 00:02:03.340 a little bit. Let me see if I have written down 00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:06.420 here. Yu Yu Takashi was the writer for this episode, 00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:09.740 but I don't know if I have the director written 00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:12.719 down. or not. It looks like I don't. I recognize 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.520 his name, so I'll have to try to talk about him 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.939 in the next episode, in the next review. But 00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:19.780 I want to talk about the barrier form. So I looked 00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:21.300 up, I really, I've got a lot of problems with 00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:25.020 the capsules, and it's an evolving conversation, 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.240 my issue with them, but we'll start with this. 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.520 I think it looks really goofy. Like, actually, 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.080 when he brings it together, it looks really dumb. 00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:36.539 But when he doesn't, it actually looks decent. 00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:38.539 I like these big things on his arms that he chops 00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:40.400 with. But the fact that they, like, make his 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.159 face when he brings them together. They sort 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.060 of make his face, but not really. I don't like 00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:47.439 that. I don't understand it. It seems strange. 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.620 Like, the... This is from Kamen Rider O's. He's 00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:55.080 like a cobra, a tortoise, and something else. 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.099 That one makes a lot more sense. It has, like, 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.979 a turtle shell. Half of a turtle shell in, like, 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.460 each form. And O's brings them together. And 00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:03.259 then, boom, he's got a big shield, which is pretty 00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:05.300 cool. Kind of reminds me of, like, in Digimon 00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:10.759 Adventure 02 when, actually, it was in Tamers 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.840 as well. Anyway, WarGreymon can pull his shield 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.419 off of his back and put it in front of him sometimes. 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.319 LittleTerriormon does that in an episode of Tamers, 00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:21.080 I think when there's, like, the Snake Dave attacking 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.919 the train. Anyway, Snake on a train. Anyway, 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.419 like, that's cool, and those visuals were nice, 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.500 and they worked there. It was an anime, both 00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:31.479 of them. So maybe the animated quality of it 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.180 made it work better. But just the face being 00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:36.780 a shield, I find really dumb. And I don't like 00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:42.000 it. And I believe... Well, I'll get to the details 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.979 of the forms later. But anyway. Yeah, it looks 00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:50.500 goofy. I don't understand it. Yeah. So the capsums. 00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:52.159 This transitions into my issue with the capsums. 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.719 Zero explains what the capsums are like and how 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.060 they're structured. The red ones are for physical 00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:59.000 things, so they boost his strength or whatever. 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.939 The blue ones are technological, so he gets like 00:04:01.939 --> 00:04:05.060 machinery type stuff, which put a pin in that. 00:04:05.379 --> 00:04:08.879 The green ones are about the body and the mind, 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.659 sort of. I think it's called esperim because 00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:13.180 it has ESP in it. It's supposed to be like ESP, 00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:17.220 esper, ability, something that's in... different 00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:19.939 Japanese media. We don't call them espers here 00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:24.040 in the United States. That's why we won the war. 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.000 And the purple one is called Wonder. So I don't 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.360 know if it's exactly, you know, Impact, Esprim, 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.680 Technolog, or Technolom, and then Wonder, if 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.259 that's exactly how the names work. But it's supposed 00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:40.220 to be those four dimensions of reality. And the 00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:42.060 purple ones, the Wonder ones, can bend reality 00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:45.350 altogether. So I guess... I mean, technology 00:04:45.350 --> 00:04:47.069 isn't, like, a fundamental aspect of reality, 00:04:47.209 --> 00:04:48.889 though. It's a fact, but it's not a fundamental 00:04:48.889 --> 00:04:53.209 aspect. Like, gravity and time and space and 00:04:53.209 --> 00:04:56.329 time and space and I don't know what else. But, 00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:59.329 like, time and space and maybe life are, like, 00:04:59.329 --> 00:05:01.850 fundamentals to the existence of, you know, for 00:05:01.850 --> 00:05:03.230 sure time and space. Anyway, I think you get 00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:06.189 what I'm saying. But, like, machinery, technology 00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:08.709 is not a fundamental underpinning of reality. 00:05:10.850 --> 00:05:12.389 I don't know what else it could be, but, like, 00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:14.910 it's very much... They wanted to do these cool 00:05:14.910 --> 00:05:17.990 toy designs, and they are forcing them into the 00:05:17.990 --> 00:05:20.149 show to fit the show, to fit the lore of the 00:05:20.149 --> 00:05:22.430 show, which I kind of like and I kind of don't 00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:25.069 like. If you're going to have these toys, either 00:05:25.069 --> 00:05:27.790 don't explain them at all, or give them really 00:05:27.790 --> 00:05:30.290 good, really deep lore. I haven't seen all of 00:05:30.290 --> 00:05:32.189 Kamen Rider Kuga, however. Within the first 10 00:05:32.189 --> 00:05:34.209 episodes, which I did see of Kuga years ago, 00:05:34.870 --> 00:05:37.930 Kuga's trying to... Godai Yusuke is trying to 00:05:37.930 --> 00:05:40.220 figure out... what do these forms do, and how 00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:42.240 do they work, and how do I go from one form to 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.360 another, I started off white, and then I became 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.160 red, and red is like my standard thing, but somebody 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.139 throws me a stick when I'm blue, and I can turn 00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:52.660 it into this kind of weapon, and if, you know, 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.759 Ichijo gives me his gun when I'm green, I can 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.279 then turn it into a big, you know, crossbow type 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.860 of thing, and like, there's a logic to it, but 00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:05.079 it's not told to us, it's discovered, and I don't 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.459 know if the deeper you get into the show, it 00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:09.560 is really laid out, but It's done at Kuga -level 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.720 writing, and I like Yuya Takahashi. However, 00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:15.879 I don't think he's doing a good job of fitting 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.180 into the constraints of this show and what they 00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.160 don't want to do with the capsums and how they're 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.120 divided out. For example, previously in the prison 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:25.779 episode, the second half of the prison case, 00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:31.300 whatever, we had him use copy, I think. No, projection. 00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:34.360 He used projection. Not astral projection, machine 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.560 projection, mechanical projection. And I believe 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.100 his projections fought the three chainsaw man 00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:42.199 nightmares, and they were able to fight them 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.560 all independently of one another. However, I 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.339 did notice at the very end, they do finish with 00:06:47.339 --> 00:06:48.819 the same kind of like chop or kick or whatever 00:06:48.819 --> 00:06:53.139 to defeat them simultaneously. So if they're 00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:55.040 just like copy, but then he was doing something 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.439 else too, I think at the same time. So it's very 00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.300 confusing. If they're supposed to be four independently 00:06:59.300 --> 00:07:01.180 functioning things, then you either need to be 00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:03.720 using the, oh my gosh, did Kamen Rider Wizard 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.910 steal this from? from Harry Potter, the little 00:07:06.910 --> 00:07:09.370 time turner thing? Because he got the Drago timer, 00:07:09.490 --> 00:07:11.110 and he was able to produce multiples of himself, 00:07:11.290 --> 00:07:13.970 and he was able to make Dragon Sentai, you know, 00:07:13.970 --> 00:07:17.709 Wizard. Did they really steal the time turner? 00:07:17.930 --> 00:07:20.009 I gotta look into that. That's hilarious, if 00:07:20.009 --> 00:07:22.970 true. But anyway, I mean, but it also makes sense 00:07:22.970 --> 00:07:25.389 that you'd be able to do that. I mean, we've 00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:27.829 seen Back to the Future, right? It's two Martys 00:07:27.829 --> 00:07:30.490 in one timeline at a time, at the same time, 00:07:30.509 --> 00:07:34.430 simultaneously timeline. Sorry. Anyway, my point 00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:38.300 is, the Wonder Capsums should have the ability 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:42.259 to do reality -breaking things like make 3, 5, 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.060 10, 100, you know, Gatakiriba, another O's reference, 00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:51.540 levels of zets for Baku to get stuff done in 00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:53.279 the dream world. But that's not how it happened. 00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:55.139 It happened through the use of technology, which 00:07:55.139 --> 00:07:58.439 I guess was like a scan and like projection of... 00:07:58.810 --> 00:08:02.029 a thing and, or of himself, a copy of himself, 00:08:02.089 --> 00:08:04.569 a mechanical technological thing. And it doesn't 00:08:04.569 --> 00:08:05.990 really make sense to me. It doesn't really fit. 00:08:06.290 --> 00:08:08.769 Um, it doesn't really seem to make sense. And 00:08:08.769 --> 00:08:10.230 they're, they're really just forcing it. And 00:08:10.230 --> 00:08:12.990 I find it silly and I find it like breaking the 00:08:12.990 --> 00:08:14.550 world building. And I find it really irritating. 00:08:14.910 --> 00:08:16.750 And it's not silly in the same way that like 00:08:16.750 --> 00:08:18.709 Fujimi and Nazca, like rolling in through his 00:08:18.709 --> 00:08:20.149 window and going out through his window and jumping 00:08:20.149 --> 00:08:22.029 down. And there's like dogs barking and a cat 00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:25.290 and things like that. Like those things are funny 00:08:25.290 --> 00:08:28.129 and they're silly and goofy, but like, There's 00:08:28.129 --> 00:08:30.269 these dumb little gags or tics in the show versus 00:08:30.269 --> 00:08:33.470 this is, to me, deep lore stuff. But supposedly, 00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:36.409 all I'm hearing from Japan, or not all I'm hearing, 00:08:36.490 --> 00:08:39.129 some segments of the Japanese fandom who are 00:08:39.129 --> 00:08:41.889 interacting with the English -speaking fandom 00:08:41.889 --> 00:08:46.110 on Twitter, X, whatever, are saying that Ultraman 00:08:46.110 --> 00:08:48.610 and Kamen Rider specifically are made for... 00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:51.840 preschoolers. And I guess if the shows are in 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.139 fact made for preschoolers, then it makes sense 00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:55.639 why there would be gaps in the logic and things 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.840 like that. But my counter to that is then why 00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.500 is there blood? Why is there so much violence? 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:04.080 Why is there so much danger? Why are there alluringly 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.200 dressed characters from time to time? None of 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.799 that makes sense if it's a children's show, but 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.820 you know, it's a different culture. So definitely 00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:11.240 not what I would put in my children's shows, 00:09:11.259 --> 00:09:15.909 but here we are. I talked about Nazca and Fujimi 00:09:15.909 --> 00:09:17.610 rolling into the scene and rolling out of the 00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:21.090 scene. The whole thing with Nox being an agent, 00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:24.129 a rogue agent or something else is interesting. 00:09:24.309 --> 00:09:27.210 I wonder, does that mean he was working for our 00:09:27.210 --> 00:09:29.730 boy Zero? Because Zero sure looked like he was, 00:09:29.769 --> 00:09:32.850 even though it's a suit actor in a robot suit 00:09:32.850 --> 00:09:36.769 of a motorcycle, I could have sworn, I think... 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.399 Baku's actor was holding something up and then 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.259 like lowered it so there'd be a little reflection 00:09:41.259 --> 00:09:43.440 of something like dropping down almost like a 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.259 anime sweat drop like of being irritated because 00:09:46.259 --> 00:09:51.360 when he learns about the esperim recovery caps 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.500 and being stolen he says this is very concerning 00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:55.879 who did that and then when he finds out who did 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.679 it he like has that little moment and he pauses 00:09:58.679 --> 00:09:59.960 he's very still but this thing happens on his 00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:02.059 face and it feels like it's supposed to be it 00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:03.440 feels like it's on purpose first of all to me 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.549 and second of all If it's an accident, it's a 00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:08.149 very well -timed fortuitous serendipitous accident. 00:10:08.350 --> 00:10:10.850 And three, I feel like we're supposed to get 00:10:10.850 --> 00:10:12.649 that there's some shared history between them. 00:10:12.769 --> 00:10:16.070 And I think that when Baku put up the barrier 00:10:16.070 --> 00:10:19.610 between... Nem is protecting the bike zero. She's 00:10:19.610 --> 00:10:21.830 here, Nem. The bike is here. Like this. This 00:10:21.830 --> 00:10:24.450 is what bikes do. Anyway, and then Baku comes 00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:30.159 along and he uses a cool power from... And he 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.159 puts a force field around her, which is pretty 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.620 cool. I'll talk about the Esper stuff another 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:36.600 time. But just, you know, that makes sense. A 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.379 force field type of thing makes sense for an 00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:43.379 Esper kind of power. But she's protecting Zero. 00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:47.600 And to me, Nox seemed to be aiming for Zero before 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.259 she did that, before she jumped in front of him. 00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:54.220 And, yeah, I'm very curious to see what actually 00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:57.509 is going on. So, anyway. I gotta wrap this up. 00:10:57.610 --> 00:10:59.750 I'm really impressed that the show, we're ten 00:10:59.750 --> 00:11:04.090 episodes deep, and there are continuous arcs 00:11:04.090 --> 00:11:06.450 being delivered. Multiple characters each have 00:11:06.450 --> 00:11:09.110 an arc that they're developing. Fujimi has this 00:11:09.110 --> 00:11:13.269 arc of trying to, like, he's happy and excited 00:11:13.269 --> 00:11:15.710 about the black cases, and now he wants to find, 00:11:15.789 --> 00:11:18.929 rescue, whatever, his partner, who is Nox, somehow, 00:11:19.090 --> 00:11:21.350 even though Nox says that, you know, that name 00:11:21.350 --> 00:11:24.990 no longer has any meaning to me. And, you know, 00:11:24.990 --> 00:11:27.009 we're getting these weekly cases solved and it 00:11:27.009 --> 00:11:28.970 takes about two weeks, but they get solved. We 00:11:28.970 --> 00:11:31.230 get, you know, red herring set up. We get mystery 00:11:31.230 --> 00:11:33.590 set up. We get the solving of it set up. We get 00:11:33.590 --> 00:11:36.009 encounter with the monster, then having challenges 00:11:36.009 --> 00:11:37.250 with the monster, then overcoming the monster. 00:11:38.470 --> 00:11:41.269 We have Nazca's like developing as a person. 00:11:41.289 --> 00:11:42.909 She's becoming less skeptical and like relying 00:11:42.909 --> 00:11:45.090 on the evidence to believe in the black cases 00:11:45.090 --> 00:11:48.429 and to help her boss through it, even as she's 00:11:48.429 --> 00:11:50.710 irritated with him and Baku being, you know. 00:11:51.469 --> 00:11:54.870 So funny. And we still have the ongoing Nem mystery, 00:11:55.090 --> 00:11:57.129 and we have the ongoing Nox mystery, and, like, 00:11:57.129 --> 00:11:58.669 why is Nox working with the Nightmares? What 00:11:58.669 --> 00:12:00.509 does he seek to gain? Probably his body back, 00:12:00.590 --> 00:12:02.850 but other things, too, maybe. And it's very curious, 00:12:02.909 --> 00:12:06.850 and, like, you know, did Nox... Is he an agent? 00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:08.470 Like, is he number six, or is he number nine, 00:12:08.490 --> 00:12:10.750 or is he number one? And was he recruited by 00:12:10.750 --> 00:12:14.269 Mr. Bikeman by Zero? And, like, if you look at 00:12:14.269 --> 00:12:15.730 his sword on the side, it has this weird area 00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:17.870 where it's crested over. It sure looks like there's 00:12:17.870 --> 00:12:19.929 a round indentation there for a capsum to go 00:12:19.929 --> 00:12:24.039 into. So I wonder what's going on there. Okay, 00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:27.580 I really, really got to close this one out. Yeah, 00:12:27.659 --> 00:12:29.860 so again, I like that this episode is blending 00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:34.259 this ongoing, satisfying mystery or satisfying, 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.639 like, danger and action and escalation of whatever 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.360 conflict with the Monster of the Week with these 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.240 long, ongoing arcs. I like it. And even though 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.360 there's silly stuff that I'm complaining about, 00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:45.179 I'm still really enjoying the show overall. And 00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:47.080 I think it's very good. And it's some of the 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.399 best Kamen Rider I've seen. And I've seen a few. 00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:51.899 So I really like that. What do you think, though? 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.320 What are your thoughts on the episode? Do you 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.419 agree with my complaints about, like, projection 00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:58.840 belonging and wonder instead? Do you think that 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.039 the trying to force the toy catalog to fit in 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:03.360 with the show and the lore of the show is, like, 00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:04.419 kind of ruining it? Do you think they should 00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:05.909 just... Do you think they should do it anyway? 00:13:06.009 --> 00:13:07.450 Do you think they should have the toys and just 00:13:07.450 --> 00:13:08.750 not say anything about them and just let it be? 00:13:09.049 --> 00:13:10.629 Would that be a better way to do it? Or is it 00:13:10.629 --> 00:13:12.710 better to integrate it into the lore? And if 00:13:12.710 --> 00:13:13.710 it's being integrated into the lore, does it 00:13:13.710 --> 00:13:15.330 need to be done better than it's being done now? 00:13:15.789 --> 00:13:17.809 And I don't know. Do you think Ned might be an 00:13:17.809 --> 00:13:21.190 agent too? Because she said that she and Nox 00:13:21.190 --> 00:13:22.610 were like each other. And then he says that he's 00:13:22.610 --> 00:13:24.250 an agent. So does that mean she's an agent too? 00:13:24.330 --> 00:13:26.409 If so, how? What does that mean? She was an orphan, 00:13:26.490 --> 00:13:28.169 so maybe she was an agent before. There's a lot 00:13:28.169 --> 00:13:30.750 of stuff going on. But I'm satisfied week to 00:13:30.750 --> 00:13:33.899 week. Also, I love how it gets me thinking about 00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:35.600 what's going to come next, and I'm enjoying that. 00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:38.200 What about you? Anyway, for now, this is MJ signing 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.799 out with writer tears, engine inspection, all 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.080 that good stuff.
