Honestly Kai and Nya have the best sibling dynamic in any cartoon ever I think.
Here are a few reasons I am of that opinion:
"Kai! You're still alive!" "I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE" "You brought the dragons right to us?!?!?!?!? I'M GONNA KILL YOU"
"She's my sister! And she's not that ugly!" "EXCUSE ME?"
Kai: *ignores Nya* Kai the second Maya brings sandwiches to the rec room: "mmmm thank you mommy :D"
"Yeah! Who would want Jay?" "Uh. Me?!"
Nya calling Kai stupid as a nickname in I believe it was the pilots
I love Kai and Nya's dynamic as siblings so much, it feels like they've consistently been written by siblings and I love it

Somehow, and hell If I could tell you how the soggy sack of a guy that is Tango somehow has managed to never technically lose any of his time.
Sure he'd been killed twice, so -2 hours there, but with both boggie kills he got that time right back [think he also has an extra 30 minuets due to some miscredited kill, unless if they fixed that]. Somehow he has managed to be one of the players with the most time on his hands.
But we know the narrative that follows Tango, right. Just constantly dying in the most insignificant way, just a footnote for the rest of the carnage. So it would be fitting for his win to be just as insignificant.
If Tango wins it will be because everyone else's time just ran out first. His win wouldn't be something gained through a final fight, or a gift of thanks, It would just be from not managing to die first.

Just finished Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix and it was incredible.
Spoilers!!
The Art, the murder, Mizu's pure and unending rage, the fact that Taigen is our 2020's Li Shang - bi awakening and all (y'all this man gave us a sexually fraught wrestling match between two supposed men that ended with him getting a bona-fide boner from being pinned down by his freind/rival/enemy/childhood victim). The discussions that will spawn about race and gender, Mizu's self-loathing quest for revenge on the men who potentially brought her/them/him into a world that was always going to despise her/them/him for even existing. Akemi "I want to be great" in response to Taigen "I don't care about being great, I just want to be happy".
EPISODE 5!! THE ONRYŌ!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW!!
But the thing that I'm obsessing over the most is that Mizu fucking burned Edo to the ground to kill Abijah, and then she/they/he didn't even fucking kill him! Hello? I know there's reasons and everything but still that city is burnt fucking dead and Mizu is just off on a boat to London with one of her three living potential fathers in the brig so she can better find the other two.
Also just "The biggest city in the world is burning to the ground as a blood sacrificeto your revenge. Your white half is showing." What a line Abijah you goddamn madlad.
I'm frothing at the mouth for season 2

A Defense of Benny Gecko
Benny is more of a capable leader and person than people give him credit for.
Seeing as no one challenged his position as head Chairmen for 7 years and even then he only loses the position if he’s caught, killed or forced to leave. Yes, it’s also likely House wouldn’t have allowed him to be killed but he sure as hell would of found a way to remove him if he was causing too much unrest within The Tops power structure. Even Swank and Tommy don’t outright dislike him and more so are concerned with his recent secretive and shady behavior, emphasis on recent.
Taking all we know into consideration, Benny likely knew the future direction that he wanted to take Vegas but was so caught up in the plans to acquire Vegas that he didn’t think of how to make his dream a reality. Something he admits to in canon. I see this being used as the main argument that Benny doesn’t know what he’s doing at all but I see it more in the same vein as you can’t really plan something from nothing. The transformation of Vegas is a sensitive thing that he can’t really work on until he has it. The only reason he ran to the Fort prematurely is the Courier who was causing so much of a stir he would’ve likely been found out much faster, making all that planning for nothing if he didn’t take that chance.
Benny is careful (well a lot more careful than he is regularly depicted in fanon), the Courier being able to trace him was dumb luck on their part and his hair being noticed at the Fort is a realistically small oversight that even Caesar is disappointed in because he admits Benny got farther than he should’ve been allowed by his legionaries. The fact he can plan an ambush on the Courier or tries to quickly and concisely clean up lose ends that don’t lead back to him shows he’s not just acting on impulses or in the moment decisions. Or rather he’s quite good at thinking them out, whether they work depends on how you play really. This is all to say it’s 100% believable that Benny could lead an independent Vegas (house was basically setting him up to do that). If he had known explicitly that House was setting him up to replace him, he likely would’ve bought more time by getting in closer, learning more of the system to then flip House’s edge to his favor. Again something he was doing already but likely without the knowledge of House’s feelings on him personally.
No matter what, Vegas’ future was tied to Benny; House’s plans for him, having to get the chip and if he had somehow succeeded. It’s also interesting that of all the people vying for control of the dam/Vegas, Benny’s plans are the only ones actually oriented towards a new future, not a recreation of something long past.
