I can't help but to think that one of the major, core things about Jason Todd is that he loves people more than they love him, or at least he loves people that can't show him that they love him in specific ways.
Bruce: accused him of murder at the age of 15 and didn't believe him when he said he didn't do it, didn't notice that he left the country (I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that was the case), put up the case™ calling Jason a 'good soldier', shit talked Jason and blamed him for his death after Tim and the others came into the picture, threw a batarang at Jason's throat and left him to bleed out in the rubble, dragged Jason to the site of his murder instead of asking him how he got back like a normal human being, beat the shit out of Jason and kicked him out of his home city after Jay 'shot' Penguin instead of using his words and asking Jason why, didn't apologize but simply justified his actions as Jason needing to be smacked around once in a while, Gotham...War. He says that he loves Jason but still did these things and Jason still goes back to him after rocking his shit a little.
Alfred: apparently also shit talked Jason after mourning for a bit. Also, I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that he's the one who came up with the 'A Good Soldier ' plaque. Jason would still do anything for him.
Sh*ila: saw this 5'3 kid who placed his complete trust in her and wanted to help her to the best of his ability and almost eagerly led him like a lamb to the slaughter to gain an advantage, smoked with watching him get beat with a crowbar, only gave a shit about her actions when it was her turn to find out. Jason tried to protect her from the blast.
I can't really blame Catherine for anything because she was sick and it is what it is. It sucks ass and it's shit but what could have anyone really done?
He looked up to Barbara and one of the first things that she said to him was that he'll never be Dick Grayson.
The point is that it seems like he gives too much of himself to people or hold them in high regard and they either leave him because of extenuating circumstances, die, or decide to go, "fuck you, specifically".
He's been failed by almost every single parent he's ever had and he keeps going back to them. Any other relationship turns to dust at his fingertips. He's like the opposite of King Midas. His story is a tragedy and I love him so much.

And can we PLEASE talk about how miserable Toji is? All his life has been hell because he dared to be born other. He was never seen as worth anything despite his skill and tenacity. He was never given a chance, cast aside to sink or swim, and no one even cared either way which he did regardless.
But, for how shitty he is and how little right he had to- to the kid he tried to kill and whose life he turned upside-down- he still begged in his own roundabout way for his son to be given a better life than the one he had. Through the apathy and the denied actualization of the self he wanted, that was his dying wish. He wanted better for Megumi than to become him. That was his final act of defiance.

Alright so I got a bit curious... just how much of Vice Versa was ads? So I went in and cut out all the intros and up next screens and previews to get the total run time of the actual show, and also isolated the product placement segments.
I was generous with the product placement. I didn’t count the entire segments that were clearly based around the product, just the points where they actually interacted with the products.
Here’s my calculations (unless I’ve got the math entirely wrong)
The total run time was 11:32:11, which comes 692.18 minutes
The ad segments were 1:51:17, which comes to 111.28 minutes
Approximately 16% of Vice Versa was purely product placement
Basically, what I’m getting at is

Kinn telling the other bodyguards following them to focus on the front of the car instead as soon as Porsche jumps into action - which he does as soon as he knows there’s backup and the doors are open so there’s space to fight and a chance to escape.
And the bodyguard car actually listening to Kinn and immediately veering off to the side for Daddy Chan’s headshot.
Despite all their personal differences, all the bodyguards consider Porsche competent enough to protect Kinn here while they deal with the rest of the people.

I remember there was an episode of Phineas and Ferb where the b plot with Doofensmirtz had something to do with like hot dogs vs bratwurst and I remember as a kid siding with Doof because "yeah bratwurst are better than hot dogs"
