Hey y'all, so. Bad news. Like really bad news. YouTube, bc of Boat Rocker Media and Fabulous Films, have taken down/hidden every episode of Count Duckula. That means all of the episodes in every language they uploaded episodes in.

Me and others in the fandom are working on trying to track down and preserve what episodes we can.

Please if you can, also try to preserve what episodes you're able to find.

Kerry's situation is a very painful reminder of how fucked up the game's canon society is, even to the rich people. Which is maybe my biggest gripe with the game. A game where I'm not given even the slightlest chance to change shit around me, a game that's just so pessimistic and cruel in how it treats its characters, so hopeless, is not punk. but that's smth else entirely to talk about.

Back to Kerry. He's less suicidal at the end of the game when V reached out and helped some to sooth his trauma about Johnny, even if one could argue it's maybe just, well, putting him back where he started or indulging a toxic fixation. Depends on your interpretation. But his situation hasn't actually changed, he's still held by his label in a death grip, even if at least his current manager's supposedly out of the picture. But even that i don't believe. All we know for sure is that we burned his yatch. Like. Kerry tells us that his MSM Record manager (can't remember his name and be bothered to check) makes him drink on purpose to get him to sign shit, which is blatant abuse and all we get to do is fucking burn a boat? Let me make the dude a corpse, even if you make me have to work for it jfc.

I really love when fanfic writers actually address that issue btw, because it really hurts me to think about him being left in this bullshit. And in so many endings we know his situation is less than ideal even with V.

Kerry's profound unhappiness is visible in many ways: the state of his house, his insinuated addictions, his impulsive, self-destructive behaviors, his tendency to lash out and paranoia to assume people are against him, and overall defensiveness, his fear of the unknown, his clinging to fame, his refusal to see his kids, his mentioned and hinted suicide attempts. He's a guy who, at 89, doesn't seem to me like he knows what he wants, what he needs.

Personally, it both hurts me and makes me really like him, because I find him relatable in how he reacts to despair. In that aspect, I find him very well-written, even if a lot of shitty tropes and pop star stereotypes are used. Yes, pop stars one.

(One other thing that's devastating about Kerry is that he's a rocker, but he doesn't act like one, according to his own definition (which seems to really just be Johnny's shitty macho definition altho it's a whole label that precedes both of them in the TTRPG lore). Which wouldn't be a problem to me if he also didn't find the genre inferior to rock.)

But what fucks me up the most is that he's dealing with despair at all, when out of the four LIs, he's the one that has the safest, most stable life. Hell, he could even easily leave Night City and never look back, and still create, he's got the money for it, it might sound terribly materialistic of me but the man has enough money to just no longer be dealing with all this shit. But he's stuck there because even at nearly fucking nine decades of life, he's not yet felt seen, heard, or acknowledged. He's still scrambling for his roots and something to look forward at once.

Kerry is 89 and has the self-esteem of a 23 years old still.

If I just listen to my basest instincts, I blame Johnny for a lot of that, but that's the easy way, actually. If I actually think about it, Kerry's responsible of his own life too, and Johnny got nothing to do with how he feels out of touch with his Filipino roots, or him being a burnt out rockstar, Johnny is not that powerful at all, and mostly I blame Arasaka and the corps, and i blame the music industry in the game especially actually, i blame the media and the fans for how Kerry bit by bit stops feeling human in the spotlight, but the thing is, it's harder to be angry at those, even in game. Because we're not actually given meaningful ways to do something about inequality in game, and when you're unable to fight something, your brain becomes apathetic to it. It's just a survival thing. my brain does that a lot. i prize my anger a lot because of that (probably why i am so attached to Johnny tbh).

I think Kerry craves to be seen as the man he is, but his ways to try and fix that is to feed the demigod image his career upholds. I'm mad we can't do something about it, nor see the change he deserves happen. I'm mad a game with "punk" in its name is so hopeless and cynical.

Superman: The Man of Steel #36 (August 1994)

"WORLDS COLLIDE" continues! Somewhat out of order, due to the way we're covering this crossover, but let's face it: if you were reading this in the '90s, you probably would have read the issues in some weird order, too (or, more likely, skipped some and been just as confused). So, in a way, we're being faithful to the original reading experience.

Previously in Worlds Collide #1: Rift, a god-like being who thinks the DC Universe and Milestone Media's Dakotaverse are parts of his imagination (meaning he's taking credit for the work of Siegel/Shuster/McDuffie/etc.), grabbed an island populated by thousands of people and just dropped it into the ocean, causing a tsunami that threatened Metropolis. The tsunami has been dealt with (spoilers for Superboy #7, which we haven't covered yet), but now Superman has to break it to his new allies at Milestone's Blood Syndicate that everyone they loved drowned pretty gruesomely. Luckily, Rift emerges from the ocean and saves Superman from that awkward conversation... while musing about destroying Metropolis, too. Well, destroying it even more.

Superman doesn't like that idea, obviously, so he tries to fight Rift, but Rift thinks that a fight scene between a god-like being and a mere superpowered mortal would be pretty boring. So, he summons Superman's closest analogue in the Dakotaverse, Icon, and tells him and Superman they have to fight each other if they don't want Metropolis to go down the toilet too. Rift even blows up the midtown part of Metropolis to prove he means business (but I'm not sure anyone there noticed, considering Metropolis' current state).

So, Superman and Icon start punching each other as hard as they can...

...while trying to direct the fight towards Rift without him realizing it. Meanwhile, Rift sees Lois Lane on a boat and grabs her to tell her he used to be her mailman, Fred Bentson, and compliment himself on doing such a great job creating her. Superman attacks Rift, causing him to drop Lois from a dangerous height (nothing she isn't used to by now, though). Lois is saved by Icon, but Rift realizes he was worried about her, which means she must be real.

Rift reasons that Superman has to be real too... but he doesn't give a crap about who's real or fake anymore. They're all his puppets anyway, and he announces he's gonna "up the ante" on their fight as he transports Superman and Icon to the latter's city, Dakota. TO BE CONTINUED! IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE!

Plotline-Watch:

This issue also features appearances by Superboy, Static, Rocket, Steel, and Hardware. We'll go into more detail on their storylines once we cover their issues, but I want you to know three important things: 1) turns out some scientific knowledge did rub off on Superboy while he was growing up (or being grown) at Cadmus...

...2) Static's full name is Virgil "Electromagnetic" Hawkins, and 3) Steel, like his main inspiration, is also a boxers man (you'll have to wait until another post to find out why he's in his boxers, sorry).

Rift forcing Superman and Icon to fight so their cities don't get destroyed is like a lower-stakes version of the main plot from the DC vs. Marvel crossover (though the stakes are about to get higher). More evidence that they should have included Rift in that crossover, as we were saying in another post's comments.

Jeb-Watch: Rift isn't the biggest villain in this issue, since it also features the return of Jeb Friedman, the ponytailed douchebag who kissed Lois when everyone thought Clark Kent was dead. Don Sparrow says: "God bless Jimmy for giving Jeb the side-eye all readers want to give that loathsome character."

Jeb says he's organizing a charity concert for the homeless people of Metropolis (so, pretty much everyone in Metropolis right now), featuring Jimmy's old would-be rocker friend Babe, whose band Shredding Metal apparently hit the big time. Last time we saw Babe, she had a centuries-old vampire living inside of her. That must have done wonders for her metal singing voice.

The Daily Planet's publisher, Franklin Stern, thinks they should suspend publication because of the "everyone's homeless" thing (plus, their building blew up and stuff), but Perry White refuses to stop putting out the dang paper. Don says: "I like seeing Perry’s commitment to informing the people of Metropolis, even at the risk of financial profit, but it might also explain why the Planet always seems to be on the brink of bankruptcy. Weird to see Lois swearing in that scene."

Whit cameo up there! Also: wonder if that's Alice the intern sleeping in the temporary office, for old time's sake.

Speaking of which, the other Alice in Perry's life (his wife) is volunteering at a medical center in Metropolis. There, she meets Superman's pal Keith the Unlucky (Probably) Orphan, who's trying to reunite another kid with his mom. Keith recently lost his second mother figure, Myra the Orphanage Lady, while Mrs. White lost her son Jerry Luth-- uhh, White some years ago. Hmmm...

The fact that Rift blows up part of Metropolis isn't really acknowledged by the other characters, probably because we all know that, like Paris Island's gruesome fate, it's gonna be undone by the end of the crossover. That makes me think they might as well have gone ahead and made Rift undo Luthor's damage on Metropolis, while at it -- it'd still be kind of a cop out, but I think it would have been a bit more organic than what we actually got.

And now, more from the great @donsparrow.bsky.social...

Art-Watch (by @donsparrow):

We start with the cover, and it’s a good one, another piece in the puzzle that makes up this crossover with the Milestone characters.  Our heroes are slightly crowded by all the trade dress graphics, but not excessively so, as the DC and Milestone heroes fly out of a rift.  I always love yellow rim lighting, so it’s a winner for me.

For the most part I’ve found this crossover a bit hard to follow, especially since it has, in certain chapters, barely touched on the already seismic events of the destruction of Metropolis, so it can be hard to know how much we’re supposed to care about it.  While the story has been something of a letdown for me, the art in this issue is not, as Bogdanove and Janke are bringing their best work to this chapter.  Right from the opening splash, with Superman running ahead of various Milestone heroes, we’re off to a dynamic start.

We are so used to seeing Superman flying, it’s a pleasing change to see him running, especially when he’s drawn so well, in all his Shuster/Fleischer studios looking glory.  Only a couple pages later, we get another poster-worthy image, also a full page splash, of Superman soaring through the clouds toward the reader.  I especially like the white halo effect around Superman’s edges, defining his torso in front of his cape.  It may not be realistic, but man, does it pop.  As Superman surveys the damage on Paris Island, there’s a treasure trove of Easter eggs, that are worth the research.  Under the water, Superman finds himself at the cross-streets of Vesey Avenue and Prosser Boulevard.  These are references to real-life former slaves Denmark Vesey, and Gabriel Prosser, who both separately raised insurrections against slavery with deadly consequences.  [Max: I did not know that! In my ignorance, I kinda wondered if they were the names for Milestone creators...]

There’s also a reference to “Big Otto’s”, a Polish soul food restaurant.  At first I thought this was a shout out to famed comic writer Otto Binder, but Wikipedia informs me Binder was of Austrian descent, not Polish.  So maybe it’s just a gag, as it’s hard to imagine the Polish form of Soul Food.

Our first look at Rift, the villain of the piece, is a real showcase for the colouring techniques of this age, with very little of his form defined by the black lines of the rest of these pages, giving a bright, glowing look to his shape.

With Icon’s flowing cape, Bogdanove seems born to draw the character, and it’s hard to think of a time the character looked better.  Hardware also looks great in these pages, but he’s overshadowed artwise by the great penumbra image of Steel on page 16, which is just a terrific drawing.

The image of Superman and Icon speeding toward Rift, who is menacing Lois Lane is a good one, and it’s fun to see her caught by someone other than Superman for a change as Icon is the one who makes the grab here.

SPEEDING BULLETS:

Nice to hear Babe Tanaka and Shredding Metal mentioned, if not shown here.

Speaking of “shown here” it’s odd that they have Ron Troupe in this scene without him speaking at any time. [Max: He hates Jeb so much that he can't even speak. I sympathize.]

Is Jimmy being sarcastic, or does he think that a concert is really a good idea?  I’m betting on the latter, but I’d say a concert would be pretty low on the priority list at that present moment.

Static and Superboy make a very dynamic teen team, and wouldn’t be out of place on a Saturday morning cartoon together.  [Max: Superboy and His Amazing Friends, co-starring Static and Rocket! I believe they did appear together in Young Justice, but that show doesn't sound very Saturday morning-ish...]

It’s interesting that Superman’s Milestone counterpart is named Icon, since, many years later, Ra’s Al Ghul adopts that nickname for Superman himself, the Man of Steel version of Ra’s’ insistence on calling Batman exclusively “Detective”.  “Icon” is an absolutely terrible fit to describe Superman, essentially meaningless, but that issue is beyond the '86 to '99 timeline, and handled by a writer whose work on Superman I hated, so the less said the better. 

Is the Alice who is washing dishes, and who meets Keith and Lucan the same Alice that works at the Planet?  It’s hard to tell without her glasses, but she has a similar body shape. [Max: C'mon, Don, that's Alice White! How could you forget such a memorable character... who, based on our tags, hasn't appeared since 1992?]

I can’t find much information on Lucan.  His name seems so unusual that I wondered if he’s a regular character or something from the Milestone stories, but I haven’t unearthed much.  His design looks similar to a character from the cartoon, Richie Foley, but under the name Lucan I can only find references to Shining Knight or a character in Image’s Invincible. [Max: The DC wiki doesn't even list him in this issue, so I'm gonna assume he was a one-time character and an excuse for Keith to talk to Alice... but then again, the wiki doesn't list Keith or Alice either.]

I still can’t believe the cosmic power behind this storyline is a nebbishy mailman.

[blogger360ncislarules]

MGM+ is returning to Beacon 23.

The premium cable network formerly known as Epix has officially picked up a second season of the sci-fi drama series starring Stephan James and Lena Headey.

The news comes as MGM+ just wrapped the first season of the drama from creator Zak Penn and aired a teaser for the second season of Beacon 23 (watch it below). Season two of the series, which was originally developed for Spectrum Originals and was poised to have a second window on AMC before the former bailed on originals, was already completed as filming on both cycles of the show was done back-to-back.

“The creative team behind Beacon 23 has masterfully brought Hugh Howey’s best-selling book to life, and we’re excited for fans to continue this journey into Beacon 23’s universe of suspense, emotion and unforeseen twists,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+.

Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead) and Joy Blake (The Passage) serve as showrunners on season two, which will see James return alongside Natasha Mumba and Ellen Wong. Boat Rocker is the studio on the drama, with exec producers including Mazzara, Blake, David Fortier, Ivan Schneeberg, James Middleton, Nick Nantell, Katie O’Connell Marsh, Liz Varner and leading man James.

“We’re thrilled that Beacon 23 has found a loyal audience on MGM+ and look forward to sharing more episodes with fans in 2024,” said Fortier and Schneeberg, co-executive chairmen at Boat Rocker Media and co-chairmen of Boat Rocker Studios. “Thank you to our dedicated creative partners, the wonderful team at MGM+, and the talented cast and crew for helping deliver what is sure to be an unforgettable season of television.” 

Season one of the drama followed Aster (Game of Thrones grad Headey), a government agent, and Halan (James), a stoic ex-military man, whose fates became entangled after they found themselves trapped together inside one of many Beacons that served as a lighthouse for intergalactic travelers. Here’s how MGM+ describes season two: “Beacon 23 is now little more than a prison with Aleph onboard, and The Artifact provides more questions than answers. Without a clear path forward, the inhabitants of Beacon 23 must rely on each other, but their conflicting agendas may get in the way.”

“Beacon 23’s season two ups the game: more action, more mysteries, more twists and exciting new characters. It’s a thrill ride. I can’t wait for the audience to see it,” Mazzara said. Added Blake: “I’m so grateful to MGM+ for continuing the story of Beacon 23. What an incredible opportunity for us to tell the stories of such unexpected characters whose lives are inextricably linked by a place that few understand, and none can ever leave.”

At MGM+, Beacon 23 joins a scripted roster that also includes Godfather of Harlem, From, Billy the Kid, The Winter King and A Spy Among Friends, among others.

Here’s the teaser for season two of Beacon 23:

Super Serious Borderlands 4 Teaser Breakdown

WOAHHHH! Holy shit you guys! A new trailer for a brand new Borderlands game just dropped just now on Youtube! So you know what that means!? Everyone’s gonna be doing trailer reaction breakdowns and trend surf for that sweet sweet ad revenue. SO OF COURSE I’M GOING TO TWO!

The trailer begins with a view of space. For those reading who are unaware of what space is, and I’m sure it’s maybe about like 95% of you, space is the expanse that exists beyond Earth’s Atmosphere and between celestial bodies and by extension, the expanse beyond the planet of Pandora which most of the Borderlands games are set in. Space has also been shown in multiple forms of media over the decades from stuff like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galaxtica, Guardians of the Galaxy, Futurama, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Sonic Adventure 2, Magic School Bus, Spla…

*1 hour later.*

Crash Bandicoot, Bayonetta and Firefly. However, do not think of going out into space in real life because there is no air in space and you will suffocate and die a slow and painful death including you head likely exploding. It is also made up of lots of stars which we can see ourselves in the trailer. Oh, you don’t know what stars are either. Well, you see, stars are luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity. The nearest star to earth is the sun. You know, that big orange ball you see when you look up at the sky every day that makes everything super-hot? Not to be confused with the game Super Hot with is a game that was release back on the 25th of February 2016 and was developed by the SUPERHOT Team. The game revolves around the idea that time only moves when you do, and you must clear levels by…

*2 hours later.*

And that’s why I think just by looking at this trailer alone we can tell that stars are likely going to play a massive role this new Borderlands game. And if they don’t, I’m going to boycott the shit out of this game and I’ll want my money back!

Anyway, now we get into the 2 second mark of this trailer and suddenly on the worlds flash “2K GAMES Presents.” Obviously, this game is being presented by 2K games but who are they I hear you ask? Well, 2K games are a gaming publisher that was originally founded as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive who you might recognise as the people who are also associated with Rockstar games. Who are Rockstar games you ask? Well, if you have ever played a Grand Theft Auto game in your life then you would of likely heard of these people as they are the developers…

*3 hours later.*

… and then certain user data got stolen and put up for sale.

Anyway a few seconds later when then get some more text telling us “A Gearbox Software game” and Gearbox Software are the developers of the Borderlands series starting with the first game in 2009 however there history actually goes a lot deeper than that as they were originally founded limited liability company in February of 1999 by five developers who were formally part of Rebel Boat Rockers. What are Rebel Boat Rockers? Well, they were a game development studio founded by a man named Billy Zelsnack who is man that…

*Seriously, if I actually went over EVERY bit of history behind this stuff for the sake of a dumb joke journal, I’m pretty sure the Bible would end up being shorter!*

Then, after the big text goes away, we see the Firehawks Insignia flame up in the space. As I’m sure most of us REAL FANS who have played this series since day one and have played nothing but this series for the rest of our lives know the Firehawk is what the character Lilith was called during the events of Borderlands 2. However, Lillith herself has a lot of history in the Borderlands series. She was one of the four playable characters in the original game and is widely considered to be the most overpowered character in that game thanks to her skills focusing on elemental damage. But she has an even deeper history in this series than that as her backstory is that she was a siren who were a group of supernatural beings gifted extraordinary powers which we are also told in a side mission in Borderlands 2 that only six of them can exist in the universe at any given time. That side mission being the one where you have to hunt down and kill…

*Is this joke about how long analysis videos can go on for un-funny yet?*

Then suddenly is transforms into Pandoras moon of Elpis. Elpis was a major key part of Borderlands The Pre Sequel which as you can tell from its name is a combination of the terms Prequel and Sequel.... Oh, what’s that? You don’t know what those terms mean? Don’t worry, that’s why I’m here to explain it. You see, a prequel is a new instalment in a franchise taking place before the events of a certain entry while a sequel takes place after one. Borderlands the Pre Sequel was released in 2014 by 2K Australia why as there name suggests were an Australian based studio. Australia is a country that while is was technically founded by some Portuguese guy that no one cares about it was truly founded by a British Sailor named Captain Cook. Captain Cook founded the country of Australia after…

*Okay you know what, let’s just skip to the end of this video, I got shit to do!*

And that’s why I think the writing at the end is saying “Buy Crypto Suckers!” And that’s it! That is everything I could get from this trailer after spending hours of my life going over every little detail. I’d like to thank you for reading this new journal and hope you all learned something new. Please remember to like and follow because I need that euphoria and attention and don’t forget to spam this in every Discord server you’re on because I need more views. Do you hear me? I need more! MORE! MORE ATTENTION MORE!!!!!!! … Oh right, you don’t know what euphoria means either do you? Well, it’s…

Netflix anuncian la nueva serie de acción real titulada BET

El manga Kakegurui del escritor Homura Kawamoto y el ilustrador Toru Naomura está a punto de tener otra adaptación. Esta vez es una serie de acción en vivo llamada BET, que está en desarrollo para Netflix con el creador de Warrior Nun, Simon Barry, como showrunner y Boat Rocker Media en la producción. Barry está desarrollando, escribiendo y dirigiendo la serie, cuya producción comenzó…

[dynared]

Hey, remember Kakegurui? It was a manga and Netflix anime oftentimes joked as “Horny for gambling - The series”.

Yes, this delightful little scamp, in a series full of innuendos and energy that is remarkably restrained in what it actually shows.

It’s getting a Western adaptation (when I would honestly want more anime) called BET (not that one) from the Warrior Nun people, fresh off that flop.

The live action series will be led by Miku Martineau, Ayo Solanke, Eve Edwards, Clara Alexandrova, Hunter Cardinal, Anwen O’Driscoll, Aviva Mongillo and Ryan Sutherland. The English language adaptation is set around an elite boarding school where everything, including the pecking order, is determined by underground gambling.

Well, it’s clear that between One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, and City Hunter that the floodgates have opened for manga and anime adaptations. But good luck to these kids. While Warrior Nun’s original comic didn’t have the biggest fanbase (but neither did the show) Kakegurui has had not only two seasons of anime but a Japanese live action show. And the comparisons are likely going to come in hard.

I wonder if any Danger Mouse fans here on Tumblr have heard the news about Danger Mouse yet.

Trash Boat Released New Track “Liar Liar”

Photo courtesy of the band. Trash Boat is blessing fans with one more epic single before the year’s end. The UK rockers released an all new single, “Liar Liar”, on Nov. 30, a track aimed at the dismay of modern media and cheap attempts at virality. Following the release of the single, the band is set to share the stage with Don Broco throughout late November and into December. “Liar Liar”…

Re: Among the Imposters: The part I'm talking about is an incredibly minor part of the book. The book itself is the 2nd installment of the "Shadow Children" series, which is about a dystopia where having more than 2 children is highly illegal and the Population Police will hunt down and kill any third children. The PoV character is a 3rd child who's assumed the identity of a dead boy his age so he can go to school. Bc of his limited life experience he doesn't immediately realize that the school is actually not a "normal" boarding school, and most of the attendees have intellectual or developmental disabilities, severe phobias, or are other third children in his same boat. He notices that most of his classmates are "rockers," who don't engage with or seem aware of anything that happens around them or participate in class or socialize at all etc, they just rock back and forth endlessly, staring into space. They're repeatedly described as not seeming like human beings, having empty and soulless eyes like animals, etc and are essentially just used as background props for how "unsettling" the school is supposed to be. At some point another character does eventually bring up and explain how unusual the school actually is, and might in fact refer to the rockers as having autism specifically, or it might just be described as having something wrong with their brains, I don't remember exactly. As far as I can remember, at no point in the story are any of the "rockers" given names, much less any sort of role in the story. All of the main characters are the relatively "normal" third children who are attending school using fake identities, or people whose role in the story is to either assist them or to try and hunt them down.

IIRC, this is the only book in the series that has anything like this. A lot of them, I don't remember super clearly, but I did overall enjoy the books (as well as the rest of Haddix's works) when I was ~8 to 12 years old. They're much more willing to get dark than most books targeted at that age range, with child characters regularly being killed, tortured, imprisoned, etc. and dealing with the psychological and social impacts of having been raised in hiding, which is always something I appreciated as a kid (and still do). They were no Animorphs, but I did like them. Unfortunately the "rockers" in that book still haunt me and fill me with a really deep-seated self-loathing and internalized ableism every time I catch myself stimming, especially rocking or swaying, and so even like 15 years later I'm still unlearning that. Not to say the book is wholly to blame, I'm sure a lot of it came from the rest of society, and if that weren't the *only* depiction of autism in a book I liked, I'm sure it would've done a lot less damage. Sorry if this was wordier than you were interested in!

No worries, I like this sort of in depth discussion.

Anyways, even if it's a minor part I can definitely see how this would mess with someone. To describe a subset of students like that and then toss out the fact they're autistic without bothering to let these students be their own people is not only careless but also incredibly callous. It kinda sounds like the author just saw them as a set piece.

It's seems like a trend in media that involves autistic characters is that they only seem to exist as writing devices rather than as full characters. It brings to mind a book I read in my early teens (I think written by Jaquelin Wilson?, I read a lot of her stuff back then) about a girl with a younger sister that is obviously implied to be autistic (as in the author read the Wikipedia article kinda obvious) that is being drugged up by the nanny to keep her docile, with the entire book is about the older sister trying to convince her parents that her little sister should not be drugged up and about the older sis going through her own troubles (including a romantic subplot that frankly shouldn't exist), rather than showing anything about how the little sister feels about this entire situation??

The little sister is basically just there as a narrative tool so the parents and the older sister have a reason to argue with each other and as a reason for the older sis to hate the nanny.
