Alright, just got home, let's respond first to Chish (and hope I don't get internet issues afterwards)

1) Yes, I'm logged into an account. And if anything, I assume that when I do, Youtube is supposed to be less stupid with me.

Apparently I'm wrong.

2) Sentry? You mean Spirit?

Also, alright. There are people who could be working at night. That's a perfectly fair point. Though after thinking about it, there are 2 problems with it:

1>In-Universe, it means Blake and Sun expected to have any luck recruiting people while bothering them while they're sacrificing precious sleep to make a living.

2>Sun still called it "Night Section"....So, what, there's a whole section of Ao Kuana where everyone who works at night is, where every nocturnal person is, etc.? A whole section, made for nocturnals, where nocturnals live?

It feels like pretty weird city design. This isn't Civilization 6 or SimCity. Actually, has Australia (or some other nation) actually done such a thing?

3) Speaking of Salem and co., something I thought is that, since the multiple stories did not necesarily happen at the same time or even similar times (like Blake's being 1 month behind RNJR's), maybe the same applies with Salem and co.

For all we know, their reunion in V4E1 happened like a few weeks or months after the Fall of Beacon, not 6-8 months later. It makes more sense that way, at least.

5) Actually, I quoted the contrary thing. "Thanks for not inviting me".

That aside....why hide it? Why make it a surprise?

Yes, Blake yelled "NOW!" and Sun jumped in, Blake said thanks and Sun said "thanks for inviting me". One could add 1+1 and assume Blake actually told him and all and they made a small plan in case it was a trap after all.

But why make the audience need to add 1+1 for such a thing? Why make it "a great twist"? Showing Blake at least twinking at Sun when she said that, would've been much better.

Why? Because instead of having Blake go off alone and then revealing that she did tell Sun, such a small addition would've made it more clear that Blake was actually going to rely on him instead of going off alone again. Showing real character development.

And the fact is that having someone show character development should not be treated like a plot twist.

8) .....Ah, you're right. It's pretty flat. The design must have confused me all this time.

..............though the more I look at it the dumber it looks. The blade's shape, the oversized crossguard, the curved hilt that would make Count Dooku blush, and that's before adding how it's also a gun and a lightning laserwhip.

Alright, now onto Spirit's posts down there.
