Looking back, I think cyan Inkling Boy was a weird choice for Kamek's Spirit Battle. Yeah, I get it's 'cuz of the glasses and the fact he's blue, but in terms of overall outfit/magical prowess, I think I'd go with a blue Robin or Peach - Leaning on the latter due to Kamek's penchant for dressing up as Peach.
Adding on to my earlier post, the thing that made the original marvel civil war so effective was that the conflict was over an issue with no real right answer. both sides had a point, same was true for avenger vs xmen. but they seem to struggle to recreate this. from what i know of the plot of the second one the fight is over something not as effective. the idea of free will vs destiny. one of the major troubles with this is that there have been plenty of characters who can see the future in marvel so why wasn't an issue until then?

honestly the problem you mention is a pretty prominent reason why, to a lot of people, the arc kind of felt contrived.

one of the biggest takeaways from civil war for almost the entire marvel universe was "we can never let this happen again, because too many people suffered because of it", and a lot of the big players on both sides of the conflict have at some point dealt with things like time travel or precognition that raises very similar questions, almost invariably believing in free will and opting to fight for that.

it literally doesn't even feel like it's something worth fighting over - or that some of these characters would even fight at all (looking at the thing especially) - and some of the major plot beats feel really out of place.

it's a cool concept but it really feels too much like it was just being made into a big event for the sake of it and to partially ride on the coattails of the civil war movie which i think is just massively to its detriment

Sounds like the whole thing was a big mess

Suppose all this is true of inhumans vs xmen. That had very stupid logic behind it too. And all reading that story did was turn me against several characters I was encountering for the first time, like khamila khan and moon girl
I only just realised how weird CBBC must sound to someone non-British
  • Half of the shows were serious YA dramas
  • They still do the whole "live puppets between shows" thing from the 60s. Even now.
  • There was a show called Chute! that was literally just memes, including Neil Cicierega works
  • A weirdly recurring theme about shows involving the concept of being trapped forever (the aforementioned Chute, Trapped!, and Relic)
  • Multiple shows were fundamnetally based around really ambitious web-browser-game connectivity, and it worked somehow
  • Big Babies
As a kid I always thought CITV was the "edgy alternate network" (as far as that can go when there are 2 viable channels for your age demographic), but yeah, in hindsight, CBBC was unhinged. Very unhinged

which does the magic wish granting 50p coin fit in?

come to think of it i never really thought of it in this way but actually yeah this is such a weird but true point, cbbc is inherently such a weird thing - though shoutout to that web-browser-game connectivity, the weird doctor who flash games were literally a formative part of my childhood
side note but i remember experiencing what i can only describe as like an existential crisis when i watched trapped! for the first time as like a 9 year old because i genuinely thought that they just trapped the kids in this ****ing tower forever or something and like they didn't say otherwise so i guessed they were just genuinely trapped lol
