I hope they did jadaite better to
Nope, Jadeite along with some of the Witches 5 are the few villains who remain flat in both anime and manga.
In fact I would say he’s even worse in the manga, at least the 90’s anime gave him all those meme-worthy start-up business schemes and hinted at a history between him and Thetis at the end there (while also simultaneously revealing him to be a raging misogynist…? Okay…) Manga Jadeite has absolutely no characterization at all.
Rubeus to me was underwhelming to in the anime. I liked the specter sisters better than him, way better. Then Esmeraude was far better. Overall the black moon clan was underwhelming, Esmeradue was offed weirdly, and Demande was not that great either.
Funny because the anime Black Moon Clan are often cited as some of the best and most memorable villainous groups, and to me they were definitely the best part of the second half of R. Only Rubeus was the real weak link out of them.
Esmeraude was good, she just needed a better ending.
I have not seen the stars anime but will watch jt. I love manga galaxia, she is just amazing and was perfect. She is a true villan, someone who killed the sailor guardians, mamarou and other sailors just for power. Then turned usagi’s dead friends against her forcing her to kill them, then threw their crystals in the cauldron and melted them. She was trying to end their existence all together, we discovered after they did not, but made usagi lose the will to fight by making her think that. She was a true villain.
Well get ready for all that to be gone and for her to be turned into some generic, Mary-Sue, Christ figure plot device.
From what I heard, in the anime she is not nearly as evil.
She’s not evil
at all, just possessed, like anime Tomoe.
However Reinako is awesome, I love it. Them holding hands in the final chapter is hard to forget. NT all but made them a full blown ship, it felt like. Two opposites, one who is a calm warrior and one who is energetic as you can get. I would not mind it being a full blown ship one day in another series.
It’s because they’re meant to be a parallel and the Inners version of Uranus/Neptune, which is made all the more apparent in PGSM where they replace them as a ship.
I am not into Saphir and Demande for obvious reasons, but seeing as they are the bad guys, it would make the most sense if we do this type of love. Lol
I’m personally fine with it because they’re consenting adults, and since they’re the same sex can’t reproduce in the first place which takes care of the problem that makes incest so bad in the first place.
That plus it was never actually
The memory wipe was almost definitely done to keep Usagi and Mamoru apart.
No the memory wipe was done because SM was initially planned for only one season and they weren’t sure it would be greenlit for more so they needed to find a good way to put a final cap on everything.
Looking at in a vacuum without the other seasons attached it was a brilliant writing choice, and the ending to Classic is the most memorable finale out of all 5 seasons that actually
feels like a finale.
This is why we get the Akayashi Sisters being turned from occultist to squabbling women who obsess over make up and shopping because wimmin.
And that’s a good thing as opposed to their completely non-characters in the manga.
