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.)

We've been rewatching bits of the first season. The very first episode has two of the characters quarreling and the group as a whole not being able to defeat the villain until they reconcile and work together. Later on, there's an episode where the three male characters get captured and the two female characters get bodyswapped. The girls have to master each other's powers which means understanding each other. At the end, after they've rescued the boys and switched back, each of them tries an activity that the other enjoys (which I'm sure is short hand for them understanding each other better now).

The end of season five pivots on lots of different teenage heroes coming together and working together. I'm not sure how much it's the power of friendship exactly, though. The entire season has the bad guys picking off heroes in isolation. The end has people who have never worked together and who don't have powers that mesh well trying to work together to rescue everyone who's been captured. (Avoid the very last episode of that season at all costs. It should have been the first episode of a new season. All it does is set up new plot threads that will never go anywhere because there never was a season six.)

Thanks for the detailed reply! I need to (re)watch this show.
