On Code Lyoko: Evolution first episode and English trailer.

[notelizabeth]

......WOW.

Pardon my French, Mun, although that is my native langauge, but what the fuck what that!?  I knew it was going to be bad, but......geez!

What happened to everyone; especially Odd!?  He doesn't have his stupid pointy hair and he looks so much younger....it's freaky!  Nobody looks right at all!  And apparently I'm now blonde, and "less important"?  Well if they're changing my hair color, then why couldn't they just have made ME the new blonde girl in the group then!  Why this little, gender-swapped Jeremie, textbook Mary Sue coming in just to create drama between Jeremie and Aelita?  Because that's definately something a relationship like their's needed, right?  DRAMA!

And why are the English voices different?  Did they just want to hammer in that these aren't the same characters we know from the REAL Code Lyoko?  And why do they all talk like they're from Speed Racer?  And why the heck am I asking you all these questions!?

What was that stupid term, again?  "Jumped the shark"?  That makes no sense, but y'know what?  It SO applies here!

...I think that term does apply here. On the bright side, it's only supposed to have one season.

(Guess what? My mun got our entire series for Christmas!)

[notelizabeth]

That's a comfort, at least. I hope that the lesser importance of blonde!me means that there are less opportunities to soil my good name before the show's over with.

(Some people have all the luck!)

[soyoudonthaveto]

Well that's just fan-fucking-tastic! Considering my mun used to like that show... this is gonna suck hard, isn't it?

[notelizabeth]

Has there ever been something animated that got turned to live-action and didn't suck when it did?

You're familiar with NC, I take it?

[soyoudonthaveto]

My mun just started watching two seconds of it, and had to pause there.

...He did think the blonde girl was cute th... wait, is that you? How old is that actress?

(Preparing to hit the BAD TOUCH alarm!)

Oh yes. XD

[notelizabeth]

No, that's not me! That's the little, gender-swapped Jeremie, textbook Mary Sue I mentioned!

And she's, like, 14!

[doingthemistything]

Oh, god, it's really that bad...?

[notelizabeth]

Have you seen or heard of the film "The Last Airbender"? My Mun says it's best compared to that.

[doingthemistything]

My mun and I like to pretend it doesn't exist. Which is what we'll probably do with this, too... How disappointing. My mun was fairly neutral on the matter but she had a friend who had high hopes.

Ah, well. More of an incentive to stick with the familiar in any case.

[spider_kisser]

Sometimes, don't we all just wish a franchise could've ended after a certian point rather than see it get dragged down in the wrong direction?

[soyoudonthaveto]

Or wish that a franchise at least got dragged in the right direction.

By the way, that's my mun talking, not me too much, MJ.

[spider_kisser]

I wasn't talking to you or your mun, Mr. Critic.

[soyoudonthaveto]

Yeah, but considering our previous interaction, my Mun insisted on butting in.

(flashes a cocky grin)

(somewhat smugly)I'd think you'd know better after that fiasco a few threads above mundane.

[notelizabeth]

You're screeching to the pryer here, lady.

[spider_kisser]

I think you mean "preaching to the choir".

[notelizabeth]

If you know what I mean, then don't bother correcting me on it!

[forgethexblade]

Do you ever stop complaining?

[notelizabeth]

Do you ever stop being a jerk?

[forgethexblade]

Where'd the fun be in that?

[aimless_arrow]

My mun is still waiting to give the show a try. Might just go with the French with English subs at this point. He hates how the English voices don't completely match the lip movements in the trailer.

...Is it really all that bad or are you just overreacting like you usually do?

[notelizabeth]

Is it really all that bad!?

Your hairstyle. [Pokes at his hair. Poke poke.] You don't have it anymore. Even in Lyoko, it's different.

And you look younger than Jeremie. Do you think you'd have anything resembling luck with a girl when you look like such a kid?

And then there's me, bleached-blonde and given a reduced role. Why couldn't I just have been given the role the new blonde girl has? Y'know, staying with Jeremie for tech support? It'd be using a pre-established character rather than throwing a new one in for the sake of a love triangle, and it'd make sense because I've done it before! Y'know, in "Ultimatorium" or "Ultimatrix" or whatever that episode was called.

[aimless_arrow]

It was Ultimatum, I think. And sure, that's a lot of bad but I get to drive that tank thing! That has to be kinda cool...right?

[badtothebonne]

Don't be bellyaching over a less important role, be thankful for whatever part your given! There are some of us out here who'll never get the chance to reprise our intended roles. Ever.

[notelizabeth]

But it's not even me! It's some blonde wannabe whose reduced role is going to reflect poorly on me since she's using my name!

At least you get those fighting game appearances here and there...

[badtothebonne]

Like I said, take what you've got. Or would you rather, oh I don't know, wait ten years for a sequel only to have it crushed into oblivion?

Besides, how bad can being a blonde be? I had to go through it, so just deal with it. [Okay. So it was an alternate color costume for a fighting game. Still counts as being a blonde.]

Not the same Sissi, I'd rather be building a rocket!
