Fair point about GX, but that was only for one season. I think 5D's got it worse because it had more visual edits, and altered the characterization of the cast more than GX's dub did. |

Back then yeah, but recently the movies are pretty much untouched. A fairly recent Pokemon film I watched still had the Japanese ending. I think the Yugioh movie dubs still have music changes, but don't quote me on that, it's been a while. spoiler[I actually like the dub BGM anyway for YGO] It's not that bad, it's just inconsequential. It's not meant to add anything to the story, it's just an hour or so of nicely animated dueling and fight scenes. It's essentially an extended filler episode, but if no one told you it was US-made, you probably wouldn't know. And yeah, they can't show the real cards in the TV show because of TV advertising laws. Anyway, I wish they'd show it here again :< I never got to see it in the cinema when I was a kid. |

What do you mean, "for some reason". They were theatrical projects, not bind by the guidelines of standard TV, so they of course got the lenient treatment of not being edited as much and then the cards got to be shown as they are in real-life. I have no idea why Bonds Beyond Time didn't display the cards this way though since that wasn't a TV special.
Yeah, the movie comes off as something fitting for a TV special than a theatrical movie because the story is just limited which you'd expect to be bigger and better. Then again, the first Pokemon movie wasn't all that big and grand either since it was mainly set on that island in that laboratory facility and there weren't that many characters. I think the Yu-Gi-Oh movie was a tad more broader than that. JUST A TAD. Perhaps the first Pokemon movie shouldn't have been put in the theaters either, haha. But yeah, it could have been way bigger and maybe not dwelled so much on the duel because that was kind of drawn out, especially when Anubis then took over. The story was decent, but could have been a lot better. And I would have made it a sequel. I think the first theatrical movie should have been an origin story where Yugi solves the puzzle, meets his friends for the first time, and we see how he deals with Atem before the events of Duelist Kingdom, since we never seen that displayed in full in the Duel Monsters anime and since "Season 0" isn't really canon or was ever redone with better animation due to the attention needed on the card game. I think a prequel story should have been a better option, and then the Anubis story (with tweaks and a longer story and not so much duel focused) could have happened years later and been a sequel. HOWEVER, the only thing with the prequel angle is that the card game would have to be simplified to how we see them play it at school since the hologram thing can't be utilized yet since that only came into the characters' focus in the first episode. Not sure if 4Kids would have wanted to commission a story resorting to plain dueling even though it's an origin one and thus leading up to everything in the anime we're familiar with. I don't think it should have mattered.
I don't see it retconning that much. We never really see the aftermath of Yugi solving the puzzle in the anime, only that he solved it. So the movie doesn't really contradict anything that we were told of that ordeal in the anime because it was just a brief piece of detail that was never too specific in all that happened that moment. |

You do realize that you're responding to posts that are nearly 3.5 years old, right? That's generally frowned on unless the topic is freshly relevant. |

I don't care. There's no time limit to when I can post on threads. It's still active and I had plenty of things to say to these people on their opinions and the topic of the movie. If the people are still active here, I'd probably get a response from them and see where they stand on their mindsets now. If not, I still stated my two cents. People want to frown on me, then let them frown. |

Actually, yes there is a time limit on many articles. It's called necroposting. The "plenty of things" you've had to say thus far are also mostly just rude and belligerent in nature towards other users, because they have a different opinion then you. Which also violates our rules along with the necroposting. Several of your other posts have been removed for those rules violations. You might want to check out the rules on this forum before continuing on with posting. I'm locking this one up because it's simply not relevant anymore and there are other Yu-Gi-Oh! threads users can post in (without the rude comments) to discuss the franchise like actual review discussions. |
