1. For reasons of Fic Research, can y'all rec me episodes of kid shows about THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP? Whether that's teaming up to defeat the Bad Guy or converting the Bad Guy to the side of good.


2. I've just watched Illustre et Inconnu. Comment Jacques Jaujard a sauvé le Louvre a movie documentary about the man who saved the Louvre during WW2 and WOW. What was done was amazing. They emptied the Louvre of pretty much everything right before the war started -- and I do mean right before: the last work to be evacuated was the Winged Victory of Samothrace and it left the Louvre on September 3 1939, 5pm, right when French declared war on Nazi Germany. It's an amazing documentary both really well done and about a fascinating subject. A++ would totally recommend. (I want to know EVERYTHING about Rose Valland now.)

I watched two episodes of Digimon in my whole life. In the second one they were fighting a monster that was too strong for them, until one guy, who had until then been very bad at teamwork, broke down crying screaming at the others "I'm not worthy of you leave me here to die", and somehow that activated the ~magical power of friendship, his digimon got an upgrade and they defeated the monster. I was so angry that apparently friendship = feeling unworthy, so much bullshit.
I still get annoyed when I think about that episode.

For an actually useful example, the first season of Beyblade has an episode on Lake Baikal, near the end of the season: Kai joined the bad guys to gain power, but Tyson and the others fight him with his own old blade, defeat him, save his life, and get him back to the side of good through ~the power of friendship. I haven't watched it in many years, but I remember that I really loved that story arc.
