In the manga, the Inners seem to die/kidnapped/brainwashed just as much as Mamoru really.

I generally don't like using the term Mary Sue since it seems like a subtle way for people to bash a character they do not like...
Again, I mentioned "Mary Sue" in a joking manner as a response to Clow's comment above - I personally am neutral about him, as he's neither my favorite nor hated character. :)
I wasn't trying to call you out, just talking in general.

In fact Mamoru was only the villain's "toy" twice in the anime. Once in the first season where he was turned evil and next in his coma like state with Nehellenia. In the manga however Mamoru was turned evil in the Dark Kingdom arc, again in the Black Moon arc and another time in the Stars arc.
The rest of the time it was simple kidnappings man damsel in distress situations :|

Funny thing is, people at the time celebrated it because it was the man in trouble this time, and the girl had to rescue him.

It's common nowadays, but back in the 90's it was a different story.

Well, there was that time in R when Usagi got kidnapped by Dimande and he had to save her.

Why didn't the other Senshi join him?
Well he had to do something useful by himself, for once. Lol

One of my pet peeves is typical .

How SuperS was handled !

Instead of an awesome storyline , having the outers around , Mamoru having awesome development
and (seeing the princess dresses) .

We got a Chibi-Usa focused filler fest that didn't really have many of the things that made Dream so great :?

Well it is spelled and pronounced Jadeite.
His name is spelled Jadeite, and while the official English pronunciation may (idiotically) be "jay-dight," that is not how his name is pronounced in Japanese. A proper name is a proper name; its pronunciation shouldn't be changed. If someone's named "Wilhelm" and they pronounce it "Vilhelm," then it's pronounced with a "V" sound, not a "W" sound, it doesn't matter how you'd pronounce that name in English. "Jay-dight" sounds really grating to me.

The long a sound does exist in Japanese. If Naoko had intended the American pronunciation, she would have written his name as Jeidaito, but she didn't. She wrote it as Jedaito. The short a sound is the pronunciation she intended. It's a pronunciation that is more logical given the word's Spanish origin and it's the pronunciation that just sounds downright better.

Bzzt! WRONG!

It may surprise you to know, that ViZ is actually pronouncing Jadeite's name CORRECTLY! JADE-ite! Because you know, the Four Kings of Heaven are all named after minerals -- Jadeite (Like Jade?), Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite.

funny because ive watched the Japanese with English subtitled version of the original anime and his name is quite clearly pronounced Jedite even by Beryl herself even the original dub had his name as Jedite

Here's one that's bugged me since I read the Black Moon arc of the manga.

What's the one thing you must not do, lest it destroy the world/end the universe? Bring the two Silver Crystals together. It's so important Pluto dies for it.

What's the one thing the anime writers decided to do to defeat Wiseman? ...bring the two Silver Crystals together.

:roll:

Touching the two Crystals together would have created a paradox that would have exploded the universe. The Crystals don't touch in the anime, so I don't see the problem?
