spiderbraidsWe come to the end of our long comparison journey with the season 3 finale.
3x26: A New Beginning / Fire and Flame
Normally, I do not note spell name changes, as it's almost a given. However, it is notable when Stella casts a spell to block Brandon from a gushing stream:
Unedited: It's called an Enchantix Moon Shield, even though it's orange :-\
Edited: It's called an Enchantix Sun Shield.
Musa decides to use her fairy dust to heal Riven:
Unedited: After the transformation, we're shown Musa taking out her fairy dust bottle (followed by the usual animation), and after Riven slumps to the ground, we see Musa rush to his side.
Edited: We go straight from the end of the transformation to Musa sprinkling her dust, and after Riven slumps down, we skip straight to Bloom's scene.
Flora, Layla, Helia and Nabu come across the other Specialists in a cage.
Unedited: Layla (and Flora) decide to transform and we see their transformations, before heading back to Tecna.
Edited: We completely skip the transformation, plus the bumper animation leading back to Tecna (as well as those for the other girls). These bumper animations play several times, so they add up. (And it also has the effect of making the sequence much more frenetic :-\)
Valtor talks to the Ancestral Witches in a non-descript blue-ish void.
Unedited: The scene is presented normally
Edited: 4Kids appears to have added a dark vignette around the scene (it's most clear when showing extreme closeups of Baltor's face)
Later, when Bloom is talking with Valtor, the same vignette effect is added to their scenes as well. 4Kids also reuses a short bit from earlier in the sequence, and as usual, Bloom's fairy dust animation is edited out.
Final party, and 4Kids removes one last bit of silence...
Unedited: Layla and Nabu walking together at the party.
Edited: Over the shot of them holding hands, Nabu says: "You're the best thing that ever happened to me, Layla." (The abrupt cut at the kiss was always there, though)
Response from mightymarty2:
- Well the name makes more sence in the edited version but its a shame the moon seems to have been droped from Stella's powers
- The unedited is better here as it shows more emotion and builds up a little more tension
- The edited version clearly seems to have been done for timing reasons but as it was the last couple of episodes it would have been nice to see enchantix transformation fully one last time
- This does not really make much difference
- Its a shame the silence was removed
