The Editor's Spotlight: The Red Tower / The Golden Kingdom
After a minor schedule slip, time for more Nabu...
3x21: The Red Tower / The Golden Kingdom
At the start of the episode, we have a training session:
Unedited: After Bloom lands on the ground, Bloom gets levitated up into the air, before spotting the anti-sunshine spells.
Edited: 4K clips about Bloom getting levitated into the air, and we hear Stella yelling "I am so going to take you down Bloom!" as Bloom spots the anti-sunshine spells, so as to imply that Stella cast those spells.
Bloom's explosion is much more audible in the 4K dub than in the original.
Layla is still headstrong about her arranged marriage situation:
Unedited:
Mom: Layla, the tradition of Andros has always been that parents pick a partner for their children.
L: I know, but I don't care about tradition. Anyway I'm too young to think about marriage, and when the time comes I'll choose my guy.
Mom: Nabu's a wonderful young man Layla...
L: ...and I'm gonna marry him because I love him and... (is interrupted by Tecna arriving with her book) ... Sorry mom, gotta run.
Edited:
4K switches the dialog around a bit, and makes Layla seem more headstrong about her situation.
L: I don't care about tradition, Mom. I'm too young to be thinking about marriage... Much less an arranged marriage.
Mom: This is not up for debate.
L: You're right mom, it's not. When the time comes I'm gonna pick who I marry.
Mom: Nabu is a wonderful young man...
L: ...and it's gonna be for love and passion and... (is interrupted by Tecna arriving with her book, doesn't say goodbye to her mom like in the original)
For completeness, the Nick version is closer to the original:
Mom: Aisha, I understand, but on Andros we have a tradition: the parents always choose a partner for their children.
A: I know, but I don't care about tradition. What I care about is love, and when the time is right, I wanna be able to make my own choice.
Mom: Nabu's a wonderful young man Aisha...
A: ...and if I marry him, it will be because I love him. (Tecna arrives with her book) ... Sorry mom, gotta run.
The Winx find Ophir on the ship, and Tecna cites the Valtor's box incident from a few episodes ago.
Unedited: We're actually shown a flashback to the incident (with the original dialog), before Layla says she agrees with Tecna.
Edited: 4K cuts out the flashback, so it goes straight to Layla agreeing with Tecna.
As usual, transformations are edited down, though interestingly, the very tail end of Flora's fairy dust drawing animation (as in, after the flower drawing disappears) is retained.
The Winx and the Specialists get attacked (again), and 4K does some weapon editing, as well as fix an animation mistake.
Unedited: While Flora's looking at the inscription on the Golden Kingdom door, it cuts to Sky asking what it says. Problem is, the prongs of the weapon that's thrown at Sky are already in shot a few seconds before we should see it.
Edited: 4K erases the prongs from the start of the shot, and then uses a light effect to show the weapon being thrown into shot. Throughout the ensuing fight, the prongs are always covered with a light effect.
Response from mightymarty2:
With most of these the reality is that it makes no difference the edits neither is better than the other. Excpet the removal of the early appearance of the spears.
I guess the flashback is good for a quick reminder of what had happened but for 2 episodes earlier it is less important. Unless you are showing episodes like nick is.
On the Layla and Nabu arranged marriage it seems to me that Nick is the best, followed by the original with 4kids in last place
