You can't mention characters from the Bible (Adam and Eve) so casually in a scene about sexuality. Even to this date, this wouldn't be appropriate for a children's show airing in a Christian country.
This wouldn’t have been that hard to do, just omit any references to the Bible and Adam/Eve all together as well as get rid of that silhouette kissing scene which I assume was meant to be a reference to the latter.
Keep the Negaverse as the series-wide threat, which would mean both Wiseman and the Heart Snatchers would be serving the Negaforce, which is trying to break into our dimension again and again
This, this, soo much
this! It was beyond frustrating and even a little weird that they broke the whole established Negaverse continuity they had set up with the localization once Cloverway took over, made the show feel inconsistent.
Get rid of "Dog Day for Artemis" and "Follow the Leader"
Also agree, the most pointless and innane filler episodes alongside that infamous dinosaur one. Though maybe I’d keep “Follow the Leader” if only because the original songs DIC did for the episode slapped and the script itself was hilarious and a vast improvement over the original
(Why keep the disturbing Tiger and Fish pedo episodes though? Not only do I think they’re inappropriate to show to American kids but the episodes themselves exemplify everything bad about SuperS as a season and would not be missed.)
Edit the infamous Fisheye scene to change his body type and give him a bra, or even add some censor steam to give the impression of covering it up.
I’m curious why you would change this? No shade but this was actually Cloverway’s most brilliant f*ck-up that ended up being vastly more politically sensitive than the original Japanese where Fish is just a Trap.
I’m also curious as to why you’d keep such pointless changes such as having Mars insinuate that she stole the Moon Wand (that has contributed to her hatedom till this day) and Sapphire having a crush on Emerald? Can you make a case for why these changes were good when they served absolutely no purpose and actively butchered characterization in the process? (In the case of Raye.)
It was especially jarring in Raye’s case because the dub
also took the opportunity to make her nicer and more supportive in “A Crystal Clear Destiny.” So Optimum edited out the slap and changed Raye from calling Serena a coward into actually starting to acknowledge her as leader and then not 5 episodes later they immediately walk back on that and have Raye attempt mutiny once again? It’s deliberate character regression from the progression
they inserted in the first place. (Made all the more noticeable since that episode also comes after the Ski episode which serves as the end to Raye and Serena’s frenemy arc where they finally come together as true friends at last.)
And for Sapphire there was no point in inserting another potential romantic relationship that they would never be able to resolve, his upcoming final episode with Prisma would’ve been more than sufficient enough to establish his heterosexuality.
- The only Sailor Says I'd change are the ones that are completely off the mark, like the one from An Artful Attack which dovetailed into drugs instead of the super obvious message of the episode which was to have confidence and be yourself...especially since that message is more important in the digital age as time goes on.
I’m guessing this includes the Sailor Says I take most umbrage with where after the end of the Molly/Nephlite arc they actively praise “Molly’s Folly” and assert to the kids “don’t worry, everyone has a little good in them, even that creepy twice your age adult man who wants to meet up with you late at night and keep secrets from your friends and family!” …Right?
