      That would be cool, but I doubt it. He's had at least three different sponsors (might be more) and I doubt they'd allow all their their products to be in one video like that. Plus, this would require him adding the "click (insert sponsor)'s link in the description for (insert deal said sponsor is giving at that time)" bits, as some are part of the skit/storyline. As most of these offers will have expired by the time the video is posted (not to mention the fact the offers will be complete defunct with a year at the very least), it'll confuse some people and may even angry some (terribly stupid) idiots.

      That's easy. If you want a weapon for the hero, just take the world's most generic sword and make it shoot lightning or something as soon as the going gets tough and it looks like the hero would have needed to actually work for their victory otherwise. As for the supporting cast, all the good guys use swords, bows are reserved for dainty little elves and ladies (it's not like it takes great arm-strength to fire one or anything /s) and only evil generic henchmen use polestars and crossbows. Mages only ever use staffs that are useless in close combat, and you'd think adding a blade to it and make a staff that doubles as a polearm would be nifty, but nope, remember the bit where only lowly henchmen use pole-arms.
      As for comedy relief characters, you don't need to give them a weapon at all, just have them wack the baddies with a frying pan, I'm sure that's totally fresh and not done to death.

      Funny part is, for most the kaiju genre it's been a hassle to get the start of the shows (the giant stompy death monsters) to leave their trailer until the final act. It's taken stuff like Pacific Rim and more recent Godzilla films to cut the bullshit and go for the good stuff.

    You forgot the character that already knew about the giant monsters and just goes around saying things like "May God have mercy on us" and "Once they're done, there will be nothing left"!

      It may have to do a rewrite. I'm thinking 2029 at the earliest.
