spiteologist

spiteologist

tsuchinoko real
we missed out on kids injuring themselves by throwing dolls on space surfboards at each other
Tetradecimal
boy oh boy, that sure is the 90s
spiteologist
are you. all right.
spiteologist
the voice acting... a delight
spiteologist
tell me why i just watched this whole dang thing
ohhitsasnake
luna is so done with all of this
Pixel
I mean okay, but please think of all of this for a minute in an alternate world
Pixel
The pilot was made to get money to make this so in this alternate universe, we have a bigger budget, and very losely based on the original show
ohhitsasnake
this is like watching the english pilot for space adventure cobra where they tried to change it into literally star wars
Pixel
Somewhere in that alternate universe, the actresses ended up going to cons because of it and/or cons that are specifically sailor moon themed
Pixel
ohhitsasnake : LMAO god that makes so much sense
batsquatch
This may be relevant, there was something about how execs thought girls wouldn't like the action and boys wouldn't like the show because there were girls
Why Were The American Sailor Moon Dolls So Ugly?
Pixel
I mean don't get me wrong, this is shit, but this shit is makes it so 1994 and I hate to say it but I am pretty sure it would have been a big success like Power Rangers
batsquatch
Or wait, I think 1994 was after what my video was talking about. I don't even know lol
Pixel
- It tapped the girl market which PW barely touched
- Extreme Girly, but let's look at what was the hottest toys that sold for girls back then: Barbie and Jem
Pixel
the she-ra toys had sold pretty well but that had been a while
Pixel
PLus it's from a Japanese franchise that is raking in money in Japan! Surely this will work (I mean it did just with the gawd-awful dub)
Ash!!1
i'm glad it never saw the light of day cuz someone pointed out if this SM was released and a success it would have changed the course of anime dubbing for the worse
Pixel
So I can 100% see why they would try to make this, and I bet after they had their initial funding, they probably would have gotten one of the bigger american cartoon animations studios to make it (ironically, Dic and/or Nelvana
Ash!!1
no getting the original anime and just dubbing with silly lines but still a coherent story, but instead just brutalizing the entire thing instead
Ash!!1
power rangers was an absolute cultural success but because of it i had no fucking idea that its source was butchered until after high school
Pixel
I personally enjoy both for what they were (admittedly the american version was corny AF)
Ash!!1
oh no i have nothing but fond memories of PR, it's just that i had no idea it was a mismatch of things until way later
Pixel
I mean we did get stuff even back then like the Voltron Dub
Ash!!1
i can't even imagine not knowing what sailor moon was and instead having this influence us wheeze
Ash!!1
give us our Cousins in love--
Pixel
LMAO
Pixel
I think it would have just taken a bit longer. mean even Japan didn't think dubbing was worth it.
Pixel
Or like, points to Persona 1 that shit was requested by Atlus Japan at the time
Ash!!1
and yeah we had voltron and speed racer but at least we still had the like, footage, actual animaton
Ash!!1
same with samurai pizza cats. I ADORE the dub but it was the actual animation that got me curious about other anime
Pixel
Oh yeah definately
Pixel
can you imagine tho, like "COMING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THE ORIGINAL SERIES THAT INSPIRED THE HIT LIVE ACTION SHOW OF THE 1990s"
Ash!!1
it would have been SO WEIRD lmao
Ash!!1
tho honestly i feel like this is almost like, insultingly girly??
Ash!!1
vs like my little pony
Pixel
I would have been like "?" cause I lived with the France dubs for the longest time
Pixel
Oh yeah it's definately a TEEN GIRL SQUAD thing
Ash!!1
80s mlp: yaaay adventures and brushing our tails but also [DEMONIC ENSLAVEMENT OF OUR KIND]
Pixel
"What do girls in 1990 are worried about"
Pixel
"Proms. Boys"
Ash!!1
weep!!
Pixel
It is fun to imagine What Could Have Been
Ash!!1
props to their attempts at inclusivity
Ash!!1
nothing can top the black guy as the black ranger tho. thanks, saban.
Pixel
god
Pixel
also going by PW can you imagine the Japanese redubbing the american Sailor Moon episodes (they have done this for Power Rangers)
Ash!!1
wheezes
Pixel
Power Rangers: Day Of The Dumpster (Pilot)
Here's the Power Rangers Pilot to give you a good idea of what it could have been (Trini was recast after the pilot due to the original actress being unavailable after it got accepted)
Ash!!1
THAT'S JUST A NORMAL EPISODE gawd look at all these absolutely young teenagers
Pixel
lol right They did say they toned down Kimberly's overall demenour cause they felt she was too mean
Pixel
The video also said there might be other stuff coming so I am very curious
Colorless Juice

Colorless Juice

Colorless Juice
mourns Darian exploding in a ship full of people for 2 seconds
Colorless Juice
this is a fever dream
vampire pumpkin
god in the alternate universe where this got greenlit I would have loved it... because I was 5 years old in 1994
vampire pumpkin
love that "my job here is done" "but you didn't do anything" still existed in the American version LOL
Colorless Juice
so outer space is cartoon and they turn into cartoons whenever there's trouble up there?
vampire pumpkin

Colorless Juice : Yeah I guess it was to save $$$ on henshin lmao
