About the “I don’t wanna hear it.” I watched this episode that had a slightly different translation which was “I don’t mind.” Sounds a little less “jerky” ? I think PGSM may have chosen to portray Mamoru like this for either the mini-subplot with Hina or for his role later in the series.

That translation really does change the entire tone of the scene! If his being a dick is used to accentuate or contrast his character development later on, it won’t stop me from judging him now, but maybe I’ll judge a little less in retrospect!

Tags: and of course when youre a cartoon you have free reign to be as over the top as you want, , but does it necessarily make him a good person, but that's a reason not an excuse, even his appearances with motoki are limited, haha this is maybe too much mamoru meta for one in the morning, i do like that he has some measure of complexity which makes him a good character, i know a lot of people say its like a defense mechanism to deal with his identity crisis and stuff, in the anime mamoru literally only interacts with usagi in season one, pgsm 14, ,   

Ironically, I like PGSM for attempting to do the anime’s take on “jerky” Mamoru in a more plausible lowkey way, probably what the old show INTENDED him to come off as, but yeah I’m already sick of it. It’s weird how Ami and Mamoru seem like direct growths from the anime, while Usagi Makoto and Rei feel more like their manga counterparts.

It’s true, his anime persona was cartoonishly jerky. (No pun intended.) I have given (perhaps too much) thought as to why Mamoru sort of bothers me in this version, and I think I can distill it to this one moment:

Mamoru, I know you have a deep troubled mind, a restless past reincarnation stirring inside you, and the best intentions, but HOW IS IT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO SAY A MEAN WORD TO AMI MIZUNO. I CAN’T EVEN BE TOO MAD, I’M JUST IMPRESSED.

Tags: , like just everyone says that in slightly different inflections, , pgsm 14, , tbh if i wrote an abridged series it would probably be an unfunny string of 'what the actual hell.'   

There is a version of PGSM that if we put together all the little tidbits fans write like Ami making swords from her tears and Minako doing something I shan’t spoil… it would be such an amazing show!

PGSM: Abridged. Get on it, PGSM fans!

Tags: and it REALLY keeps in mind that they're all middle school girls, and not just puppets of the sncient senshi they represent, but in this version it is very clear that sailor moon IS usagi and she doesnt gain any new awareness in her senshi form, i mean princess serenity could have been like this too, it doesnt rely too hard on the abstract vague shit, OK THIS IS WHY I LOVE PGSM, pgsm 14, please ignore this ramble, she has always loved her friends and she doesnt need special powers to know that,   

IT WAS NEVER THE POWER OF BELIEVING IN FRIENDSHIP

IT WAS THE STRENGTH OF THEIR OBNOXIOUSNESS THAT TRULY SAVED THE DAY

Tags: it's like a kiss in the rain but it's just a stare across the cavern, pgsm 14, , ~romantic moment~ as the other three senshi just stand to the side and conspicuously don't run to hug usagi   

welp… it’s just you, me, the dripping stalactites, and 3 of our friends now

Tags: 'there is a THING there' is the summary of the show, and i cant tell if its overdone because of the writing or because i know the story already or because i am moving through this slowly, , its just like 'i remember something? not anything that a first time viewer would pick up i suppose but there is A THING there', pgsm 14, , this is literally what he did with zoisite too   

Once again, the heroic Tuxedo Mask appears on the scene to hold a brief cryptic exchange with the antagonists and ultimately contribute nothing.

Tags: ?????????????, is that the princess serenity dress or the ceremonial Monster Making dress from the Caves of Darkness, pgsm 14, she just like woke up of her own volition perhaps, , w/e, what is that dress she is wearing   

*massive yawn* “OKAY. TIRED OF THIS PLOTLINE. LET’S DEFEAT THIS GUY AND DO SOMETHING ELSE.”

Tags: hollywood set cave dungeon with a funeral slab?, maybe the problem i have with senshi/shitennou pairings is that kunzite looks at least 40 here and ami looks 12, pgsm 14, ,   

Kunzite probably spent hours on this comeback. He probably said to himself, “It’ll look super clever if I put my hand on my hip on that last line.” He probably hoped another Senshi would intrude just so he would get the chance to say it. He probably rehearsed it in the mirror.
