* "[[https://youtu.be/Zrk-A04GYck?si=3nQQ2zfI6oGqsr_M Being Batman - A Curse Or A Choice?]]" examines Batman, specifically the [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse DCAU]] version, and his relationship with his own role. Bruce Wayne seems to view it as a ''Curse'', an obligation that he can't bring himself to ignore no matter how much part of him may want to, and only stops when he is physically ''forced'' to by a combination of his declining health and a bad night where he's forced to use a gun to scare a criminal away, violating his own principles in his mind. This is contrasted with Terry McGuinness in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', for whom being Batman is very much a ''Choice'', despite what the other Bat Family members may tell him at times, only faltering when he learns about [[spoiler:himself being secretly Bruce Wayne's son]], and fearing that his choices may not have been in his own as a result in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' episode "Epilogue". Even that fades when he learns more of the truth from [[spoiler:Amanda Waller]], reaffirming that being Batman was indeed ''Terry's'' choice, not the work of destiny or anyone else.

*** Priam is also too busy mourning Hector to even be there when Paris dies. Red notes that this whole HumiliationCongaLine is ''entirely deserved''.

* For the OSP Spring Break Charity streams, the team set an initial goal of $5,000 for Feeding America. Over the course of the next few days, they were able to raise ''over $30,000'', completely going above and beyond their original goal.

* "Tokoyo and the Sea Serpent" has a considerable amount from our titular young lass. First, there's her defiant pose when she declares to her father Oribashima "Hang in there, Dad!" Then she stops a priest from sacrificing a girl and, upon learning about the serpent, hands her robes so she can deal with the titular monster. And it doesn't hurt that she's good at swimming, thanks to [[ChekhovsSkill pearl-diving with the locals]] as practice. Then, while weighted down by a statue, she manages to [[EyeScream cutting out the sea monster's eye]] under water, before stabbing it in the heart. The last shot is of her [[ThinkNothingOfIt peacefully chilling at home]] as her father dusts his sword ''next to a trophy of the sea monster's skull''.

* "Hades and Persephone" ''does not'' disappoint! To begin with, Red rips members of the pantheon like Zeus and Apollo a new one for constantly chasing after and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping]] whomever they please (and constantly having these parts of their stories neatly airbrushed away, as modern society sees Gods as [[GodIsGood something to strive towards,]] rather than [[GodIsFlawed reflections of humanity and the world.]]) For another thing, we get a breath-taking illustration of Hades snatching up Persephone while wearing his stalwart helmet in one of the rare times on the show he wears it! And he pulls it off! Lastly, Red points out that contrary to what one might think, Hades ''didn't'' get the short end of the stick by inherting the Underworld. Being the first-born son of Cronus, he should've been the rightful ruler of the world. However, the Underworld is still a pretty vast domain and eventually, everybody becomes Hades' subject. ...Hades was going for the long game.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9qe3Of4TOI The Symbiote: Spider-Man's Perfect Flaw]]", naturally, takes a look at Franchise/SpiderMan and how the Symbiote is such a great writing tool for the hero's core message of ComesGreatResponsibility. Essentially, "the Symbiote makes the worst version of a good person" -- it doesn't force Peter Parker or anyone else into a FaceHeelTurn, but instead flips the balance between "great power" and "great responsibility" by tilting it way towards the former and far away from the latter. This, in turn, makes Peter into HeWhoFightsMonsters while still maintaining his solid good-guy core; "every bit of patience and forgiveness is gone, replaced by anger". Red and Blue sum it up by stating [[AnAesop the core aesop around the symbiote and characters associated with it]]: we all have a darkness inside of us, but we can always choose to be the best version of ourselves in spite of this inner darkness.

** Death [[DefiedTrope subverting the tragic ending]] of "The Little Match Girl" under the technicality that he's filling in for the spirit of Christmas. Although tragedy teaching gratitude sounds logical on paper, Death recognizes that living another day is a more significant way to appreciate one's future.
