spiderbraidsDoes anyone else find it ironic that one of the most edited episodes is titled "The Wrong Righters" in the 4K version? I mean, in a nutshell, 4K took out two of the things that this episode had going for it. And (in Lori's eyes) this episode didn't have much going for it to begin with, either.
A big complaint about this episode is an entire subplot that got cut out.
Unedited: There is a subplot in which Musa fights AND BEATS Stormy using a rain dance she learned from Layla.
Edited: This subplot is stripped down to its bare essentials (omitting the "learned from Layla" angle)... and then put into the next episode.
However, an even bigger complaint is related to this edit.
Unedited: Diaspro rants to Flora. She finds it unfair that Bloom rescued her, but her biggest rant is that after all the hard work and all she's learned to be a good princess (unlike Bloom), it's only fair for her to marry a prince. This is the translation of the original Italian dialog, and it's about the same gist in the version we watch.
Edited: Flora has convinced Diaspro to be a better leader. She won't punish people who dress below her standards. Umm... isn't that supposed to be Amentia's doing? Where Chatta tells her that there are other princes around, she now agrees with her comment that hair accesories are essential (which went where her "It's only fair" comment went originally).
Like Lori said. You KNOW she'd hold a grudge! And I'm feeling that half this scene's footage is missing.
In relative minorness...
At the start...
Unedited: After a brief meaningless scene of Musa walking around while a few background fairies argue over pixie pets, Yoshinoya has outsourced the kidnapping to the Technoninjas instead of his own.
Edited: Yoshinoya, seeing that Diaspro's already been 'napped, decides to just write the ransom note.
Zing is tagging along with Sky and co.
Unedited: Zing wants to look at the Technoninjas on Sky's planet.
Edited: Zing wants to bond with some fairy.
Some forest somewhere.
Unedited: Sky lets drop that Yoshinoya has always wanted to get rid of him (he IS after all a prince), so he switched identities with Brandon.
Edited: This angle of the switch is not pursued, since we have already explored the switch when it first came to light in 1x17.
One thing that isn't different is that in both versions, the much-awaited discussion between the three of them never happens. You see Diaspro getting rescued... and then instead of discussing Sky's break-up with Diaspro, Sky and Bloom are talking with the ninjas? I find it underwhelming.
I do NOT get at all why 4K namedrops Diaspro a few times (2x01, 2x10), AND recaps the whole Diaspro madness at the start of the episode... and then dubs over Diaspro's rant, the strongest (if not only) link between all that and today's episode.
Either way, as Lori says, comic issue #15 trumps both, simply for having the three-way discussion we wanted to see. (To see these, you'll have to be a member of the community.)
