I don't get Eternal. I love the idea of an evil museum but it was done so much better a couple years later with a group literally called "Museum" in Kamen Rider W. (even if that was more about an evil family that happens to run a museum) Really only the early members like Scorp and Nebatakos seemed to at least be interested in the concept of adding to the collection; then we get the weirder members building up to the Chairman being...well, a Flora-obsessed weirdo. Considering they're doing an "updated" version of Nightmare with the Criasu Corporation, maybe they should have done an updated Eternal to get it right since you should really only improve bad ideas with the fear that the good ones will be tainted with newer ideas.

Iona probably was done with most of her development post-arc so I don't mind her sort of being out of the spotlight. But yeah, Yuko just gets more insane with each episode due to her lack of focus. I saw the episode she nursed Phantom back to health, and the reveal of her "first love"...trust me, even I needed Honey Candy to sedate myself after how horrifying and disturbing that turned out. Why hype up what Yuko loved and her "tragic first love and loss" for...that? (especially if...that...ends up being why she loves cooking and rice so much!?)

The International Cures really make me wish they did something with a true international team; it's probably as likely as getting a fully international Sentai team (as opposed to five Japanese in funny costumes ala Battle Fever J), but it could happen with all that's going on recently. Heck it took this long for a season with a "French" Cure as a full time member. Aloha was cute though I wish they got more such as appearances/acknowledgement before/after their one story that was more used to feed our demonic Yellow Cure overlord of rice and Honey Candy.

BTW: Finally got back to watching Cure movies and did the second Max Heart last night. Considering the first one was so generic, the second felt like Max heart...warts and all. (aka: Hikari being useless, Fuji-P still existing, Shiho and Rina proving why side characters that aren't Cures are awesome, etc.) The movie was hilarious with how many VAs it had and their connection with one another (the sage and flying squirrel literally being Demon King Piccolo and Goku; the ice duo being Coco and Girinma...which made the part near the end when they were on the verge of breaking up even more hilarious) Oh and I restarted a Sailor Moon watch in hopes I finally get to the last season this time around...I never have seen Stars I admit.
