Season 4 Episode Batch 1

As I said in this post, after doing the title drops now we’re going into episode summaries! Get ready friends. :D

4.1 – Summer’s End – Farewell party at the Lucky Cat, High Voltage back as heroes, Hiro starting his mentorship, Gogo, Honey Lemon and Wasabi off to Austinbul at the end of the episode. [more details here]

4.2 – It’s Austinbul Not Dallastinople – the Austinbul trio getting settled into their Braggtech internships, with Jose Arango inviting several Braggtech employees to a grand fiesta later. Mizquito crashes the party, requiring Big Hero Six Three to save the day.

4.3 – Revenge of the Killer Robots – Trina’s back and attempts to corrupt the mascots, who are currently the source of a lawsuit as their advertising companies want them back. While she doesn’t fully succeed, she does manage to kidnap them and take them away, to the heroes’ dismay. Hiro promises Aunt Cass that he’ll get them back. Trina, meanwhile, reveals to the mascots how she escaped, as a shadowy presence makes itself known.

4.4 – The Eternal Question of Geeks Versus Nerds – Hiro and Rishi are butting heads over the mentorship, with Ian trying to recruit Mel in this big game getting ready to go down. Meantime, strange things are afoot in Good Luck Alley.

4.5 – Nerd Love – Fred and Olivia go out on a date, with Big Hero Six trying to keep Mole from sabotaging it. Shenanigans ensue. [more details here]

4.6 – Ghosts of Schemes Long Past – A mass breakout at the San Fransokyo prison leaves Hiro lamenting them being short-staffed. The Cruzes return, Megan offering to help with researching what happened. Meantime, Callaghan tries to escape the cloud of prisoners, only to be stopped by Hardlight’s ‘friend’ Bakemono, who has been using Mel’s tech to disappear. Episode ends with Hardlight announcing ‘a word from our sponsor’ before an ominous shadow is cast over them.

So my goal with this hypothetical season 4 is to pick up all the loose threads and personal questions from the show and then tie them together in a satisfying final season where the whole thing gets a proper sendoff I mean good night the only requirement is keeping executive mitts out of the creative process hey I said no salt.

And as many of you know, I’ve had many thoughts on Austinbul. Six out of the twenty-two episodes are set in Austinbul, which is about a quarter of the season BUT we also get focus episodes for Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Gogo that way. :D

Season 4 Episode Batch 2

Who’s up for round two???

So as I mentioned in this post, I’ve got summaries for all the episodes in my hypothetical season 4 for Big Hero 6: The Series--got the first batch done, now it’s on to the second batch, which leads us up to the mid-season finale. \.o./

4.7 – Mesquite Makes Good Barbecue – Mizquito makes another appearance, causing mayhem at the mall to disguise her true target, several federal buildings. She’s not alone this time, enlisting the help of Vaquero Kozo to distract Big Hero Three.

4.8 – The Return of Captain Cutie – Karmi gets writer’s block and asks Hiro for help, to Hiro’s chagrin and Fred’s glee. They talk and bond over the new fanfic, which reviewers call her best yet.

4.9 – Unplugged – The San Fransokyan Big Heroes attempt to get the mascots back with the help of High Voltage, only for Hardlight, an upgraded Mel, Bakemono and Yokai to intervene.

4.10 – Tantei Noir – Megan investigates the jailbreak and tries to determine what the end game is, much to her father’s chagrin. She and Hiro investigate Good Luck Alley, where they have a run-in with Yama and Trina, who is trying to recruit Yama. Meanwhile, a shaken Mel tries to surrender to Cruz, only to be stopped by Bakemono.

4.11 – Viva la Villain – Jose Arango is revealed as the villain Goto Bandido as Hiro, Baymax and Fred are visiting, much to Honey Lemon’s devastation. Big Hero Six has to stop an attempt on the local power plant, assisted by Sheriff Andarin, who tells them that Austinbul takes ‘a much different stance on heroes than where you’re from.’

4.12 – Dark Volt [mid-season finale] – Boss Awesome attempts to contact his family only for the transmission to be intercepted and corrupted. More villainy. Baron Von Steamer is captured and gives a cryptic warning. The villains are revealed to be working for the big bad of the season, Dark Volt, who plans to bring the country to its knees, starting with San Fransokyo.

So as you can see, we have more episodes set in Austinbul, which pleases me, and more episodes focusing on Karmi, High Voltage, and Megan--again I made sure the character appearances were spread out throughout the season and not stacked up one on top of the other, so hopefully we avoid the feeling of being rushed. Also a way for Boss Awesome to make an appearance even without Stan Lee. ;^;/

And then our big bad of the season, Dark Volt! The second season really felt like it was trying to set him up as the next big villain, but then season 3 and executive meddling happened, so that potential story arc got canned. Again though, that’s why we have fanfiction. \.o./

#bh6 #big hero 6 #big hero 6 the series #big hero six #big hero six the series #season 4 #hypothetical #I've had many thoughts on Austinbul #hiro #karmi #megan #baymax #honey lemon #fred #basically the whole cast #I wanted season 4 to be THE season y'know?

Season 4 Episode Batch 4

The final batch, friends! As mentioned in this post, I’m providing episode summaries in batches (first one, second one and third one)–the finale is a three-parter, so technically we had six episodes per batch.

4.19 – Girl Power – Olivia, with Fred’s support, is attempting to break into the superhero business, which causes Megan and Karmi to join in, to Hiro’s panic. While Fred and High Voltage assist the girls, Hiro is still struggling with Rishi, who doesn’t listen to or respect him. When Hardlight, Mel and Yokai attack SFIT going after Hiro, the new superheroes have to help save the day. Afterwards, Rishi—who Hiro protected—finally admits he was in the wrong and Hiro ‘is actually pretty cool.’ Episode closes on Granville in her office, trying to organize the repairs to the school, when her door closes on its own. She looks over, startled, as Bakemono reveals themself.

4.20 – The Gift that Keeps on Giving – Hiro is knocked out during a mission and wakes up to find that Tadashi is still alive and the events of the film and series never happened. Throughout the course of the episode he tries to enjoy himself, but can’t shake the feeling that something’s wrong. When a slip happens and the simulation is revealed, he admits to Tadashi that he knows this is all a sham, but it was good to see him again. Tadashi smiles and shows him the way out, where he meets Fred and the girls halfway. Supervising from an unseen location, Yokai admits that Hiro was the big obstacle but that he’s too smart to fall for any trap for long. Hardlight cackles at the possibilities revealed by Hiro’s secret identity, but is stopped by Yokai while Bakemono watches.

4.21 – Showdown at the Cahuilla Corral – Big Hero Six at full strength battling Goto and the other Austinbul villains. Mizquito flips and helps Big Hero Six and the sheriff even though she acknowledges she’ll never get her land back. They win, with Mizquito later getting a pardon and assisting the sheriff on his ranch, where he ‘needs some help getting the mesquite under control.’

4.22 – The Heroes’ Last Stand [finale, three-parter] – The issue with Dark Volt and his amassing of villains comes to a head when Fred, Hiro and Baymax return to San Fransokyo and are captured. The others come to rescue them but are beset upon by various villains, including Di who has made a triumphant return. Callaghan is helping only to keep Abigail safe, is afraid to flip. Trina is convinced to do so by the mascots. Hiro and Fred, meanwhile, are rescued by Globby and Momakase, but Baymax has been turned by Bakemono.

The heroes regroup, Hiro ready to fly back in there when Hardlight kidnaps Aunt Cass and Mochi. The original six sans Baymax are summoned to Granville’s office as the others are charged with figuring out how to stop the villains. Granville states that there might be a way to infiltrate Dark Volt’s lair, but that it was dangerous. When the others agree, she looks over to the corner, where Bakemono fades into existence and reveals their identity, stating that they understand any reticence but truly do want to help. Everyone looks to Hiro, who agrees on the basis that they need to rescue Aunt Cass. Outside, everything looks bleak until the good guys start countering the bad. Yokai and Mel attack Krei Tech and come up against Trina and the mascots. Di sets her monsters on San Fransokyo only for Ned and Bessie to lead the Muirahara monsters across the bridge to do battle. The Supersonics battle High Voltage. Steamer and Cobra battle the Fredricksons. Hardlight and El Fuego are against the girls. The Mad Jacks and Sparkle get involved, Sparkle insisting that it’d be ‘good for ratings.’ Yama leads the Good Luck Alley goons out to help under the reasoning that if there’s no city, then there’s no place for them to be. Meantime, Big Hero Six infiltrates Dark Volt’s lair with assistance. Dark Volt captures them and plans to destroy them, only to find that all his hard work has been sabotaged by Bakemono.

Momakase and Globby destroy the cells allowing Big Hero Six to fight back. Hiro manages to turn Baymax back to good. Dark Volt is taken down and the heroes are all celebrated. Aunt Cass finds out about Hiro’s secret identity and tells her how proud she is while stress-eating. SFIT opens for the new term with several new professors and assistants, while the new heroes are shown helping out all over the world with Boss Awesome helping them get to where they can help the most people with their talents. Hiro’s closing narration goes over many different shots of where everyone is now.

‘We didn’t set out to be heroes—none of us did. But the ability to be heroes—that’s in all of us. Nobody would be where they are now if it weren’t for the help of our friends—and now there’s so many more of us to help those in need. Who are we?’

Finale closes on the Big Hero Six logo.

Boss Awesome: I’d like to talk about the Avengers initiative.

My main concern with how a show ends is that it needs to be both satisfying, but you also need to be assured that everyone’s lives are continuing on afterwards. BH6: The Series really opened up the movie world to me, while season 3 felt like it closed it back up, like stuffing everything back in the box. Personally, I’d much rather see things opened wide up so if something else were to ever take place in the universe, it’d have plenty to work with, be it canon or fanon work.

But...yeah that’s the whole season! Might write it out in script format or in prose to put on AO3, but that was it. Enjoy! :D

Season 4 Episode Batch 3

Here we are once again! As mentioned in this post, I’m providing episode summaries in batches (first one and second one)--this batch would probably be after a mid-season break because apparently shows are just aired like that (perhaps after the Christmas break?).

Anywho:

4.13 – Captain Cutie Goes Hollywood – Karmi gets an offer to take Captain Cutie to the big screen, which Hiro opposes but can’t explain why without outing himself. Meanwhile, Hardlight makes trouble with his chibi heroes again. Globby helps but they’re still outnumbered. Karmi comes in and helps save the day again, where she reveals to Hiro that she figured it out and didn’t want to say anything and ‘make it weird.’ Fred and Globby sob with glee.

4.14 – Liv and Let Di – Di goes after Liv, livid that she sold Sycorax to Krei. Hiro, Fred and Baymax stop her, but not before she releases a fresh wave of monsters on San Fransokyo. Bakemono helps her escape, but presents her to Dark Volt, who is ‘very disappointed’ in her, requiring her to make up for this.

4.15 – Off the Rails – Vaquero Kozo targets the rail systems in Austinbul, calling Gogo out on national television and announcing that if she doesn’t agree to race him again, he’ll blow the rails sky-high. Gogo accepts with the stipulation that the others stop the rails from going blooey while Kozo is distracted. Kozo is revealed to be working partially under Goto’s orders, who has taken the opportunity to target ranches south of Austinbul.

4.16 – The Haunting of Nobu Hill – Fred is convinced his house is haunted, but all attempts to capture the ghost have failed. Hiro is skeptical, but agrees to work up sensors for him. Fred and Olivia are enjoying a movie, but when something happens they and Mini-Max engage in Scooby-Doo shenanigans trying to track it down. When Fred realizes it’s Bakemono, he tries to superhero without tipping off Olivia. Olivia figures it out by the end of the episode and assures him she won’t reveal his secrets. Meantime, Bakemono presents to Dark Volt what they were after: a data chip from Boss Awesome’s hideout.

4.17 – Raccoona Matata – Return to Muirahara Woods, where several of Di’s monsters migrated to. Hiro is surprised to find that Ned Ludd has tamed most of them. He has concerns and tries to talk Ned (and Bessie) out of it, is interrupted by one of the untamed and aggressive monsters. Ned saves him, and Hiro is forced to admit that his way works.

4.18 – An Austinbul Standoff – Honey Lemon is working hard to take Goto down, to the point where it’s starting to affect her internship. Gogo and Wasabi are supportive, but point out that unlike before they don’t have an established network in Austinbul, with the possible exception of the sheriff. After another altercation with Mizquito, who reveals why she’s doing what she does, Honey Lemon thinks she might have figured out why Goto is undermining so many ranchers.

“Raccoona Matata” was one of those woke up from a dead sleep and scribbled down episode titles, and I’m kind of amused that it’s basically a BH6 version of that one Lilo and Stitch episode where Mrs. Hasegawa adopts a bunch of experiments.

Unlike the first half of the season, which was focused on establishing characters and new locations, the second half is more focused on taking the groundwork and running it to the endgame unlike some disney shows we could mention coughducktalescough. We got a killer finale coming up, guys....

Okay more on the Austinbul villains for the hypothetical season 4:

Mizquito probably has preexisting beef with Goto, most likely lost her family farm due to Eminent Domain/her farm being on the border and therefore being used for illegal traffic

Government stole her land/didn’t help so she’s out here to cause mayhem, mostly starts off attracting attention elsewhere and then targeting government property

Main MO is slowing down government process and destroying records

Has been sneaking back to her farm to perfect her plant accelerator, farm is now overgrown with mesquite, cacti, and other thorny plants, is basically useless unless you burn it all to the ground

Yes she’s petty

Is basically Wasabi’s villain he’s the best equipped to counter her main form of attack, she stays high to avoid him and her insistence on chaos versus his more orderly approach gives them some chafing moments

They have big arguments about law VS anarchy during their fights

Vaquero Kozo is 100% in it for the mayhem, big thrill-seeker, he’s out to attack people and he’s having a really great time, if he can’t cause chaos every day his body shuts down

Unironically uses every single cowboy phrase any Western has ever used in the most exaggerated accent possible, might actually be one of those guys who moved to Texas from California at a young age and went yes I can be a cowboy no wait outlaw is more fun

Will show up anywhere anytime doesn’t really have a specific MO beyond causing some good old-fashioned mayhem

Ends up being Gogo’s villain when she catches up to his bike with hers he is TOTALLY for beating her

Goto Bandido is the older, more suave, established villain of the area

Basically a cartel leader he’s got a network and makes most of his money smuggling anything and everything over the border

Very gentlemanly, very polite and suave, upper-crust businessman is his cover basically

Older, distinguished, has some gray streaks in that braid of his

Tricks Honey Lemon into trusting him and then uses her, making him Honey Lemon’s main villain

“Trust, like people, works best when it’s used”

Think Antonio Banderas in some of his softer-voiced roles for voice, or maybe Senor Senior Senior from Kim Possible

(at this point I’m getting enough for a whole season set in Austinbul send help plz)

Season 4 thoughts on: Austinbul

It’s Austinbul not Dallastinople

So as I’ve said before I’ve had many thoughts on Austinbul

(possibly because my Dad was born and raised in Texas and was a cowboy)

So let’s frame these thoughts into how it would play out in that hypothetical Season 4 that we deserve

Firstly we need a minimum of three episodes set in Austinbul—one each for Gogo, Honey Lemon, and Wasabi

And then maybe a fourth or fifth to resolve whatever plotline gets going

Maybe one to get them settled, the three character-centric episodes, and then the resolving episode minimum

Because Texas has a nice rich history like California does—emancipation from Mexico, existing as their own republic for a while before joining the United States, having various groups settling there, etc.

Plus the migration from California to Texas can come up nicely here, since our three intrepid graduates are doing just that

All of them are very wowed at the price differences

Plus as I’ve learned recently, Texas has some big tech companies of their own (mostly based around—you guessed it, Austin)—hence Braggtech—so that’s another nice foil to San Fransokyo, California

Plus as we all learned with that past cold snap, Texas—in addition to their famous oil rigs—also digs into alternative energy like solar and wind

Which can be used to discuss why we need several energy sources because some can fail in inclement weather, this can be a good way to get people started on looking at where their energy comes from

Plus I can imagine Texas in this universe still having a healthy rail system

So here we are with things that interest all three of our graduates

Gogo with the rails

Wasabi with clean energy

Honey Lemon with designing cute solar panels (I’m thinking sunflowers) and developing safer means to extract oil plus ways to break down the oil should it spill (Texas is next to the Gulf of Mexico, where the infamous BP Oil Spill was)

Plus with Hiro and Baymax still in San Fransokyo (albeit there are video chats), this gives our graduates time to shine

They finally get the focus episodes everyone’s been asking for

Plus Texas has a lot of history with outlaws so…unique new supervillains time

Could have someone based on Poncho Villa (we already have a Hispanic supervillain in El Fuego, so we have precedence), someone based on classic outlaws like Jesse James or Billy the Kid, and…hmm, someone who makes mesquite grow out of control

The last one people have been taking in stride because yes mesquite grows thorns that are long enough and sharp enough to punch through boots, chaps, and denim but dang it makes good barbecue

People in Texas are excited because yes BH6 we like these guys

The Texas senators have been rubbing this in the California senators’ faces

Maybe the very last Austinbul episode has the whole team involved (Heathcliff drove Fred, Hiro and Baymax over in the family chopper) and the whole state gives a collective yee-haw that can be heard in California

The Austinbul equivalent to Bluff Dunder is Dusty Rhodes and they’re happily reporting live hang tight we’re gonna try to get an interview—

Also Austinbul and Dallastinople have rival sports teams and you can bet your bottom dollar that the rivalry gets intense

And please, we need a sheriff voiced by Chuck Norris channeling his role as Cordell Walker this is nonnegotiable if you can get Gordon Ramsay and Alton Brown you can get Chuck Norris

disney hire me you cowards I’ll write the show for you

#bh6 #big hero 6 #big hero 6 the series #big hero six #big hero six the series #season 4 #hypothetical #I've had many thoughts on Austinbul #this is a font of new goodness that got tossed at us in a throwaway season we deserve Austinbul my friends #watch me finally break down and start writing this season 4
