Hello everybody. It's me again. I thought I should now speak my mind about stuff since I need to do something anyway. Hopefully this will entertain or inspire you. Otherwise, who reads journals anyway? Right now, I'll talk about where originally good shows went wrong:
1. TMNT 1987: I liked the show when Shredder and Krang along with Rocksteady and Bebop were villains. They along with the protagonists made the show watchable despite its old animation with fights and humor. The only real problem with the show is that it eventually had the villains roles watered down for the others, the sky turned red for some reason, and music like that is played when the turtles fight is taken away. Bogus.
2. TMNT 2003: I haven't watched every last detail of the show, but for a 4Kids show, it was actually pretty interesting. It had sewer ninjutsu action, serious drama, and the awesome Utrom Shredder. But after the Utrom Shredder (Ch'rell) got exiled into an ice asteroid field, the show had to find villains to replace him. Karia had to take charge of the Foot clan and soon two other Shredders came up. The Tengu Shredder really ruined the show for me; it turns out Ch'rell was actually just copying this Shredder. This is actually depressing considering that the plot was actually cool and made sense before (now the info rescrambles) and the Utrom Shredder's right as the main villain has been taken away for some giant monster that possessed a guy. As for the Cyber Shredder, instead of bringing Ch'rell back, the show decided to go more "modern" and have a digital copy of him become the new head of the Foot Clan. Also after Utrom Shredder left, the show got more kiddy. My best example is that Superhero club; it turned the sewer action show into some sort of bad comic book crossover. The superheros and some other people who also weren't supposed to be there also once showed up to fight off the Tengu Shredder.
3. Yugioh: This only has a few problems. The minor/major characters like Tristan and Tea barely take action despite their supporting friendship. The show's history sometimes overlaps and ends up not making much sense at all. But the biggest problem for me were seasons like the one for Zorc. Yugi and his friends enter a replica of the past in Egypt. The problem? (1) The whole monsters inside people's souls thing is kinda barbaric. (2) Stuff that makes no sense like riding on a fat floating Egyptian man that can somehow tell airplane jokes despite the time being 5000 years ago. (3) The Creator of Light: As soon as she comes from the fusion of three God cards, Zorc, the seemly indestructible evil being, gets easily destroyed. And I don't mean to be offensive, but why is it female, with a bad voice by the way? Isn't one of the Egyptian Gods, Obelisk, male? (4) Zorc himself. Yami Bakura, the mysterious spirit inside the Millenium Ring turns out to really be a giant monster thing with a dragon wang thing for a second head. Yeah. That season really messed things up. If you need good evidence that 4Kids ruins shows, use that.
That's all I have for now. Sorry for making it long.
P.S.: I think Darknite/Nitemare from Yugioh Forbidden Memories and Dark Duel Stories would be much better for the job than Zorc.
