What's the general consensus on Cackletta?

Due to her sidekick Fawful being much more prominent in the series, and having a much more unique dialogue gimmick of speaking like a bad translation, Fawful is talked about a lot more often than Cackletta.

While I do think Fawful is better, I think Cackletta is a pretty good villain on her own. She's very threatening, prominent throughout the story, and can be just as funny as funny as Fawful. A witch isn't really a common main villain in the Mario series and her "evil fairytale"-like actions like stealing someone's voice and body is really creative. The transformation into Bowletta and Cackletta SOUL also really ups the stakes and is a fun plot twist.

I also really like how Cackletta dies halfway throughout the game and is a lot more prone to making mistakes than other villains, she gets tricked by the heroes like three times before her defeat. She's kind of at a disadvantage for most of the game. It might make her seem incompetent but her violent reactions still make her a theeat.

Her mid-game and final fight are also pretty scary for a Mario game and I like how incredibly unfair her final boss fight is by putting you at 1 HP.

I think she's one of the stronger villains in the Mario series, like high B-tier or low A-tier. She's not the exceptional at one thing but she does everything very well. Funny, threatening, large amount of screentime, pretty unique, I think she's good.

[Fully Lost] The Red Ape Family Episode 4 (and 5?) A really bad NFT show.

The Red Ape Family is an infamous cartoon starring Bored Ape NFTs and their adventures as they steal a golden flashdrive and deal with villains who keep trying to steal it from them.

The first three episodes released on Youtube to abysmal reception, and also I think on some other streaming platform? The third Episode was I think originally leaked but was eventually officially released.

There was heavy talk of a fourth episode, which would take place in some parody of Amazon, and TRAF even released some clips of it. ...But, as NFTs and the show were a complete failure, Episode 4 and beyond never released on Youtube. To my surprise, IMBD says there was even a 5th finale episode which would shockingly mean that this panned series about a dead financial intstrument and fad may have had a proper finale.

I've tried searchi6gor these episodes but I can find nothing, even IMBD has no screenshots or plot summaries, which could mean they never were finished.

I found and still find NFTs and everything about them to be really, really funny, just these weird, awkward looking drawings, in a time *right* before AI slop came onto the scene. If the fourth episode, perhaps even the fifth episode is complete, or has more clips, I would certainly like to find them.
