That's a nice change of pace. There had been antagonists who redeemed themselves in the end and antagonists that was demoted into secondary role after another antagonist stepped in. In this episode however, what initially appeared to be a villain turns out be innocent and was just a pawn to the real villain.
On another note, that thumbnail is wrong, coming from the previous episode The Chess.
This will be the third movie to adopt visual style similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, after The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Clearly this movie took inspiration from Rise of TMNT series, judging by the Turtles' goofy demeanor and April's character design. Also, Nicolas Cantu is one of the voice casts. From Gumball Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) to Rowan Freemaker (Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures) and Prince James (Sofia The First), he's now the voice of Leonardo. Good job there, kid.
After watching the first two episodes of 50-50 Heroes, I find it's not bad at all. It's got nothing to do with superheroes or superhero-wannabes trying to fight evil or crime. Rather it's about a pair of step-siblings using their superpowers to solve their life problems, albeit with poor results due to they need to be together to be in full power and also the temporary nature of each superpower. Voice acting is decent and animation quality is good.
Just found out that the account "Nate is Late - Official" has been terminated on copyright grounds. Strange. So all these years, the YouTube account is not really "official"?
Update: the account is back. Knew it had to be a mistake by Google. Just another case of copyright trolls.

Just finished watching Ainbo: Spirit of the Amazon. Was expecting a terrible end for the secondary antagonist but to my surprise he redeemed himself not just by helping the main character to defeat an evil spirit but also becoming her adoptive parent.
Unlike a previous episode The Vampires where the antagonist's gender was changed from male to female, the antagonist in this episode retained its gender but voiced instead by a male actor.
This season of RuPaul's Drag Race is really awful. The queens are all ugly, bitchy and unlikable, especially that rotund bovine Mistress Isabelle Brooks. Total whale of a cunt. A lot of these dudes complain about how badly they were treated in school, by their parents and in society yet they do the same thing to each other.
A brief "cameo" by Gong Yeoh, a character from S1E1.
In-universe: She's out of prison after serving her sentence and has taken a new leaf. Reality: Her character model was chosen by random to serve as an extra in the background.

Yes, I have noticed they are getting rounder and bitchier.
The the fast food chain Al Jeek in Masameer County is a parody of KFC. It serves deep fried chicken and its owner looks like an Arabian twin of Colonel Sanders. In the episode Shilajit, the restaurant owner turns out to be one of the protagonist's estranged dad. A total asshole he is, going as far as sabotaging his son's happiness to get what he wants.
In Masameer County episode The Plumber, the protagonists' strongman (referred to as a "hero") is based on the appearance of Morgan Freeman, whereas the antagonist... I'm not sure. The latter looks like the unholy offspring of a Sesame Street muppet and the Scotsman from Samurai Jack.
