So I've finished all 49 eps of Yes!PC5. It was actually a breath of fresh air to the franchise. Like I've said before, Karen Minazuki/Cure Aqua is my favorite of the group,with Urara Kasugano coming in second. In order of favorites it'd be
Karen Minazuki/Cure Aqua
Urara Kasugano/Cure Lemonade
Komachi Akimoto/Cure Mint
Rin Natsuki/Cure Rouge
Nozomi Yumehara/Cure Dream
The only character I didn't like was Milk. She's annoying and on top of it a huge jerk to Nozomi for no reason. Any time she gets friendly with Nozomi or Nozomi saves her, by the end of the episode she throws it away.
I wasn't really a huge fan of some villains. Gamao was my least favorite, he kinda looks like a creep/pervert. Kawarina was my favorite of the lot,due to how he manipulates other nightmares into killing themselves with the infamous black paper,which was kinda messed up. I kinda like the buildup to Desperaia. I thought the series would end without us seeing her face,but we got a look. She looks like a kabuki doll. I did some research on this series and I saw people labeled the cures as
Nozomi as "Donut"
,Rin as "Agunimon-chan",
Urara as "Cream Horn or Cure Pine Sol", well her name and hair color reminds me of pine sol
Karen as "Babaa or Bitchy Honoka"
and Komachi as "Mama,Retasu". I've always heard the theory about Komachi being related to Mew Lettuce from Tokyo Mew Mew,well the hairstyle gave it away.
I'll be moving on to the sequel Yes!GoGo,although I heard Yes!GoHo allegedly killed the franchise until the next one came out,but I'll be the judge of that

Hi all. I have saved up 1.5M liquid asset that I would like to invest in a food franchise. Would good franchise create me cash flow? If it will, what’ll be a good food franchise? I’ve only mentioned 1.5M as initial operating cost. I need to set aside 1M para sa mga dadating na operation expenses kasi. How about farm lots? Resorts? Would appreciate your thoughts and ideas sana. Thank you sa inyong lahat.

Personality:
Labenda is prideful and ambitious, always striving to better herself. Her life in the mountains caused her to be very thorough in everything she does. She finds it easy to respect those who can match or outclass her, but is merciless and cutthroat to those she deems unworthy.
Background:
Labenda was born and raised with a kind but very poor family, on the cold, ruthless Mount Kamutori. As she grew, it became clear Labenda had a natural talent for survival, becoming especially skilled in hunting for food, even on the coldest days. However, a lack of opportunity began to annoy the child. She wanted a proper education and learn new things. While her parents supported this, they had no money to afford a proper tuition.
Until one day, when the father, trying to provide for his family as a mineworker, stumbled upon a huge gemstone. He dubbed it "The Miracle" and the Hoseki family went from poverty to wealthy overnight. The parents wasted no time and sent their child to the best school period: Hope's Peak Academy. Specifically, the reserve course department. But it wasn't long until the ever ambitious Labenda Hoseki started to climb the ladder, eventually being recognized as the Ultimate Observer; for her five senses were truly honed to Ultimate levels after living in the mountains.
Goals:
Constantly be better. Never stop improving. Climb higher.
Skills:
Has incredible senses; Doesn't get scared easily; Knows how to handle a spear. Learns new things quick.
Flaws:
Can't handle failing or standing still; Can get violent when angry;
Potential Quotes from Hoseki to the cast of THH:
Makoto: "It will always require a little bit of luck to succeed at anything. That's the annoying part of wanting to improve."
Byakuya: "Go ahead, talk down to me while you still can. There will come a day where I'll surpass even you."
Toko: "I suppose you don't need good self-esteem to succeed..."
Aoi: "Swimming and donuts? Those things don't... go together, do they?"
Yasuhiro: "I'll carve out my own future, thank you very much."
Kyoko: "Do you want some coffee?"
Sayaka: "Hmm... It must have cost you a great amount of effort to be where you are now. It would be horrible to see it be for nothing..."
Leon: "If you don't know what you want, you won't get what you want."
Chihiro: "I'm interested in what your work is about. Can you show me?"
Mondo: "Carpenter, huh? It's not much, but it's honest work, I guess."
Kiyotaka: "You can only explore new things by breaking boundaries and rules. Sometimes you need to absolutely shatter them."
Hifumi: "Ugh, what is that smell?! You! Take a bath! Right now!"
Celeste: "Do you have a plan B for when your luck runs out?"
Sakura: "So strong..! I still have much to learn..."
Mukuro: "A prime example of why you should never let your guard down."
Junko: "To be so good in everything that your efforts become meaningless and boring... Is that even possible?"
Feel free to use this if you want. Let me know if you have any other Ultimate ideas I can bring to life:)

Hello MSP!
I'm seeking feedback and advice on a major life/career decision I'm considering. Currently, I work as an L2 technician at a small MSP in a major city. Prior to this job, I spent 5 years as an L1 helpdesk technician and 2 years as a telecom technician. While I don't have a degree or diploma, I recently obtained my A+ and N+ certifications. I've been with my current employer for over a year and have been gaining valuable experience, developing a solid understanding of the business. I feel that within the next year or two, I could transition into a system administrator or IT consultant role.
Now, here's the situation: I'm contemplating a move to a rural area across the country. My brother purchased a home there a year ago but ultimately moved back to this city. I visited him last year and fell in love with the place, and so I'm considering buying his house for a few reasons. First, the cost of living in this city is exorbitant, and I'll never be able to afford a home here. Second, the city grind lifestyle has left me thoroughly burnt out, and I fear that remaining here will quite literally be the death of me. Another reason is that I've also been considering the idea of starting my own business for some time, however I have some serious doubts about starting up a business in my current city due to such high market saturation in just about everything and there being lots of competition, and I have a lot more confidence in the idea of starting a business out in a more rural area because of the perceived notion that I'll be bigger fish in a smaller pond, comparatively speaking (though I'm not sure how that stacks up against the tradeoff of there being less amount of business client potential).
Anyways, enough context and let's get to the main question: If and when I decide to move, I'm thinking of starting my own business, potentially an MSP, in the new area. However, I have doubts about my overall knowledge, both in terms of technical IT expertise and business acumen. So, I'm contemplating discussing the possibility of a partnership or franchisement with my current employers. Has anyone been through any sort of franchising deal like this before and be willing to share any details on that? Another option is to continue working remotely for the same company, serving existing clients, while also acting as a consultant to hopefully onboard new clients in the local area while I build up more experience to start my own shop later.
While my current company is not particularly exceptional and might even be struggling financially, I believe partnering with them would provide access to their experience and resources, which could be beneficial compared to starting from scratch. Of course, I'm uncertain about what constitutes a fair agreement, so I might not negotiate the best deal, but again, I figure getting the short end of the stick would be worth the knowledge and experience I'd gain, which I could potentially later open another MSP business entirely of my own. If I do go this partnership/franchise agreement route I have absolutely no idea what sort of numbers to even target in the negotiations, but I feel like it would likely be something along the lines of an upfront franchise cost, with a percentage going to the parent company, where that percentage decreases over a 3-5 year period. Can anyone make any suggestions about this?
Moving from a big city to a rural area, my target client base would likely be in nearby cities, which are approximately 1-3 hours away, however has anyone found success in supporting businesses in smaller communities? Or am I correct in assuming that there is little business to be made in rural areas and to only focus on the larger cities?
Does any of this sound viable? Sorry if this is a disjointed mess of a post, and I apologize for being vague on some details, as I don't want to reveal my plans prematurely. I appreciate any advice you can offer. Feel free to give me honest feedback, even if it's critical. Thank you!

Past few years I've seen a few of these online subscription food box stores pop up, though I'm not sure what a viable market it is
Examples may be: donuts, cookies, sweets, snacks etc. A sweets one I know of opened and closed a year later.
I'm kind of thinking, if you find a niche, it might work? Eg, only do chocolate bars, or only do cookies. Though the other part of me says that, although you'd mix the content up, people might get sick of same thing month after month?
Advantages: low startup costs, find a niche, could produce own products.
Idk. What's your thought on this?

Over 25 years ago, a little boy named Andy received a Buzz Lightyear action figure in the 1995 Pixar film Toy Story.

Mother is one of the most important franchises I ever play. Evry mother game has elements that give a own characteristics to the games. Mother give the begging mother 2 is a perfection in all the aspects of the previus game and mother 3 is the game with best narrative and character story. And inspiration for indi games in general.
Not long ago the mario movie was released and was a amaizing adaptation from a game to a film. Obviusly this make that many persons imagine a future in wich other game franchises have their own movies. The legend of Zelda, kirby, metroid etc. One if this is Mother or earthbound, a very little known franchise that exist about 33 years ago. Ok today I want to explain why mother is one of the most easiest games to adapt in to a film.
Ok for the people that play this game I think that know that the 3 games has and exclellent narrative even in the first game, this saga has and excellent story to be tell even in the cinema. Unlike Mario that has and easy concept of rescue the princess, mother (altough at first sight has a simple concept if save the world), has elements that count one more complex story. Something more easy to transform in a movie. The hard part I think is the characters, give a personality it could be difficult especially the principal characters of each game (except until a certain point Lucas). And is difficult to create a good frindship team (all mother game has a team of 4 characters), but I think that this is just work in this and we can have a good movie (or a trilogy) for Mother.
Of corse the other problem is that mother is a very little known franchise especially in this part of the world I mean even mother 3 don't have an american version yet and I don't think that Nintendo wants to make a movie with such a little-known franchise but well dreaming cost nothing.

Hey fellow Redditors,
I'm excited to share my plans of opening a massive gym in my city, which spans a vast area of 404 Km2. I've secured my own space measuring 12000 ft2, eliminating the need for paying rent or lease. However, I'm now contemplating between starting my own gym brand or opting for a franchise like "Cult Fit" due to its renowned brand and marketing strategies.
Currently, there are two large gyms in close proximity, but their quality has significantly declined over time. This presents a great opportunity for me to introduce a new fitness center that offers exceptional services and facilities.
On one hand, the idea of starting my own gym brand gives me the freedom to create a unique identity, tailor the gym experience to my vision, and have full control over all aspects of the business. It allows me to implement my own innovative ideas and differentiate from the existing competition.
On the other hand, opting for a franchise like "Cult Fit" comes with the advantage of leveraging an established brand and marketing network. Their renowned reputation could potentially attract a larger customer base, providing a head start in terms of brand recognition and customer trust.
I would love to hear from the Reddit community about their experiences and opinions regarding franchise versus starting my own gym brand. What are the pros and cons of each approach? Are there any advantages I might be overlooking? Have any of you successfully opened your own gym or joined a franchise? I'm particularly interested in understanding the potential benefits and challenges associated with both options, considering factors such as investment costs, ongoing support, branding, and marketing strategies.
Any feedback/advice/suggestions are welcome.

2023 feels like the first “post-covid” year for the movie industry, with productions now entirely back in swing (except with the writers’ strike, more on that here) and theaters back to entire operation with big movies dropping seemingly every other weekend. As we reach the halfway point of the year, it’s time to sit down and review the box office for 2023 so far and see what’s been working with audiences and what’s been flopping. We used the website The Numbers for this article but also cross-referenced it with Box Office Mojo for additional information and insight.
​
So to start, let’s talk about the winners so far and why they’re winning. As of May 20th, 2023, the 5 highest-grossing films are 5. John Wick: Chapter 4, 4. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, 3. Avatar: The Way of Water, 2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, and the absolute juggernaut of the year for sure, 1. The Super Mario Bros. Movie. If you want to make the list exclusively of films released in 2023, drop Avatar: The Way of Water from the list and add Creed III in the number 5 slot.
​
The main takeaway from this top five list is that all of these movies are a part of some pre-existing IP, with 4 out of 5 being sequels. This trend extends when you look further down the top-grossing list, with 12 of the top 25 films being sequels. This is similar to 2022, however, that year, all of the top 10 films were sequels, whereas 2023 had only 8 out of 10. The two non-sequel films on the 2023 top 10 list are the Blumhouse/Atomic Monster horror flick M3GAN at #9 and the surprise Paramount mid-budget success, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves at #10.

This becomes more interesting as you venture into the 25 highest-grossing films, with films like Cocaine Bear, AIR, and 80 for Brady making some decent box office splashes as original movies. The most interesting top 25 winners have got to be #13 and #17 on the list, A Man Called Otto, the comedy where Tom Hanks plays a cranky old Scrooge of a man who meets a nice family, and The Jesus Revolution, a Lionsgate production about a 1970’s Christian revival movement? Both of these movies have passed $50 million, yet no one has talked about them meaningfully. Unlike Evil Dead Rise, another surprise winner in the top 25, widely praised and celebrated for its box office success, Otto and Jesus have seemingly sneaked onto the list without anyone noticing. A Man Called Otto has even surpassed $100 million when looking at its international box office being a huge success in countries like the UK, Australia, and Mexico.
​
With international box office in mind, it should be noted that the recently released Fast X has recently surpassed $250 million internationally, passing up John Wick: Chapter 4 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but still being short when compared to the other heavy hitters this year. This is a huge thanks to China, whose $77 million box office for Fast X has surpassed the Domestic’s $67 million. China has not been a huge factor for most of the other flicks in the top ten, aside from the MCU films like Guardians Vol 3 and Ant-Man 3, which is rather unusual since China usually carries many major blockbusters into the top 10 list. The significant contributors to 2023’s box office are England and Mexico, who have been integral to the success of many heavy hitters.
​
Speaking of heavy hitters, The Super Mario Bros Movie is the feature to talk about when it comes to box office success in 2023. Not only has the animated children’s film made by Illumination proven that it has legs, being at the box office for nearly two months straight, but it has also been making a ton of cash. As of now, the movie has grossed over a billion dollars, is the 3rd highest-grossing animated film of all time (just surpassing Disney’s Incredibles 2 but behind Frozen and Frozen II), and has the 14th highest-grossing domestic box office of all time (21st internationally, still behind 2017’s Beauty and The Beast). This is a huge success for not only Universal and Illumination but also films based on video games which have had a lot of success lately, with Mario’s old rival Sonic making waves with his last two films, as well as Uncharted making a surprising $400 million at the box office last year.
​
Enough talk about winners; let’s talk about losers, which there are not a lot as of May. At number #22 on the box office list is the Adam Driver-led dinosaur, sci-fi, action thriller 65. It barely made its $45 million budget through its rather underwhelming $56 million worldwide box office. A recent release that also fell flat was double Nicholas (Cage and Holt) film Renfield, which made a measly $24 million worldwide while having a budget of $86 million. With recent flops in mind, Sony’s Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World also rang hollow, with audiences only making about $5 million worldwide behind a budget of $32 million.
​
Two of the most notable flops of 2023 so far are from two very different studios, Warner Bros Discovery and A24. The DCEU has had a rough time making cultural and financial waves over the last few years. Shazam: Fury of the Gods is a prime example, with abysmal critical reviews and barely surpassing its production budget of $125 million. When considering if a movie is financially successful, a film needs to surpass its budget and marketing cost, which can sometimes be as high if not half as high as its production budget. So Shazam 2’s performance will be considered a flop by the studio.
​
Conversely, we have A24, a champion in low-budget investment into extensive box-office technique, but unfortunately, we fell short this year. A24’s most notable film so far, Beau is Afraid, has done rather poor numbers, especially compared to its director, Ari Aster’s, previous works, Hereditary and Midsommar. With a production budget of $35 million, the film has only grossed about $9 million, which is a massive loss for Aster and A24.
​
So what is there to take from all these numbers and rankings? Well, IP films seem to stay as the top dogs at the box office. However, many small to mid-budget films can hold their own and be successful, mainly if they feature well-known stars like Tom Hanks or Matt Damon. Horror is still intense, with Evil Dead Rise, M3GAN, and Scream VI making over $100 million each. Comic book movies might be losing their grip at the top with the underperformance of Shazam: Fury of the Gods and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is not considered a flop but definitely wasn’t the slam dunk Marvel/Disney probably wanted it to be.
​
The last thought to share has to be that Disney might be in trouble. Sure, Guardians Vol 3 and Ant-Man 3 are in the top 3 box-office-wise, but they still are not making the huge gains that Disney has been used to. With the second half of the year in mind, they do have The Little Mermaid remake, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and The Marvels, which might make up for the lost ground; there’s still a fear that this might be the first year in a while where Disney is not the defacto king of the box office. This year could be the shift where other studios can creep in and take the crown, but we’ll have to see how the rest of the year shakes out.
​
With the rest of 2023 in mind, here are some notable films that could have huge returns at the box office. Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, is the highly anticipated sequel to the revered animated film from 2018. Warner Bros hopes to reset its DC film universe and box office uncertainty with The Flash featuring two Ezra Millers and the return of Michael Keaton as Batman. Paramount is gearing Tom Cruise back up in another big action flick with Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, a franchise that has grown increasingly successful with each entry. The last two films to mention as potential box office smashes would have either Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and Dune: Part Two. Both are sequels to successful Warner Bros. films, which could lead to a big payout for the studio. 2018’s Aquaman raked in a surprising billion, so there is potential for the sequel to follow up, if not surpass, its predecessor, as do many superhero films. Meanwhile, Dune made a respectable $391 million, which did help convince Warner Bros to greenlight the sequel, so there’s faith that this could be profitable for them.
​
2023 has been an exciting year for the box office, with much potential coming down the pipeline. We’ve had a lot of interesting and exciting surprises so far, and some of the most significant moves haven’t even come out yet. This could be the year that Disney loses the crown, the end of the superhero reign, and/or the return of the mid-budget success story. Any of these could be accurate, but all we can do now is sit back, enjoy some movies, and see how it shakes out by the end of the year.

Multiple times he's flubbed a throw to home, and twice it cost the game. In yesterdays game in Detroit, he also didn't make the play on that popup. That play was qualitatively in the perfect spot of being totally forgivable in a baseball sense, but very telling in an intangible sense. I think the past two years of poor managing have worn on him. He's not interested in excellence in and of itself, so in that sense he is the face of the franchise.

Setting up a business as a franchise can have several advantages and disadvantages. Here are some pros and cons to consider:

• Limited creativity and innovation
• Dependency on the franchisor's actions and decisions
• Exit restrictions and limitations on selling or transferring the business

It's important to thoroughly research and evaluate the specific franchise opportunity to make an informed decision based on your goals and circumstances.
