Fight Pets 1: Choose Your Fighter

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER! You grew up on the cartoon. The one with the cute creatures, the plucky trainers, the collect-'em-all jingle. Fight Pets is what that looks like when you pull the wholesome off it — an eight-billion-dollar bloodsport, creatures bred to die on schedule, disposal protocols run before lunch. Olivia Ashford was raised inside it. Her father builds the fighters. Her sister signs the paperwork. She's decided to start breaking things, and she's brought a very particular housecat with her. Season 13 premieres in a week. Somebody's already watching the people trying to stop it — and doing the math on what that's worth.
