The Editor's Spotlight: Valtor's Box / Day at the Museum

3x18: Valtor's Box / Day at the Museum


The biggest 4K edit in the episode is not very substantial:

Unedited: We see Flora's exam, then Musa's, then Tecna's.
Edited: We go straight from Flora's to Tecna's exam.

The most notable thing about this episode is that the Rai version has an edit compared to the Italian dub... Comparing the Rai version and the Italian version, it appears that the Rai version has cut out a second or so of the Negatus creature flying off towards Flora during the exam, as well as of Bloom falling from the sky after turning back into her casuals, then slowed down the remaining footage of each shot to match the air time; the 4K version does retain the Italian footage

Layla's guy issues and Musa's reaction:
Unedited:
Layla: I'm banning men altogether: No father, no boyfriends, no guys at all.
Musa: Whoa, that's extreme Layla :-\
Edited:
Layla: Hey, don't worry, there's no way that I'm marrying anyone, much less someone that they choose.
Musa: Way to be strong Layla :)

During the Valtor-Bloom chase:
Unedited: We get a flashback to FG telling Bloom that her Enchantix power is incomplete.
Edited: This flashback is cut out, so Bloom's concern looks a bit out of place.

Ophir has been captured:
Unedited:
Flora: "Bloom, what do we do?"
Bloom: "Layla's Morphix power is holding the box and the Trix. It's her call."
Tecna: "Layla, think about it, if he's working for Valtor, it's playing right into his hands."
Flora: (over shot of Ophir being captured) "But if he's not, then we have to do everything we can to save him."
Edited:
Flora: "I think you should do what he says, Layla." (Bloom's line gets snipped)
Tecna: "If that Ophir guy is working for Baltor, this could be just another trick." (Flora is silent afterwards. Huh, 4K deciding to silence a bit of dialog)

End of episode:
Unedited: Layla hates Ophir for sneaking off, and Bloom can only think about FG saying "I fear your powers will fail you when you need them most".
Edited: Layla is sure Ophir is working for Baltor just because he sneaks off, and Musa says "Let's go home and get ready for whatever Baltor will do next" over the shot of Bloom.




Response from mightymarty2: Its a shame they cut out Musa

I prefer the original as it more in tune with how she is feeling, rather than building up the disappointment of her getting with Nabu/Ophir. Going from strong independant to more like the others

The uneddited explains things better here and fits in. I am not sure if Faragonda had said this before, I forget but if she hasn't it does need to be said, as it explains why Bloom does not miniturise

Oh how I would like to join the two together as I would remove Flora's first line in the original and add the eddited first line of Flora's instead.

Its 50:50 for me the last edit

My response to mightymarty2:
1) Considering you don't really get to see the full extent of Musa's test, I don't see much reason to keep it...
2) FG did say it, in the first scene immediately after the exam sequence.
