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!)

[soyoudonthaveto]

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

[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.

[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!)

[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.

[notelizabeth]

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

[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?

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!)

[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.

[notelizabeth]

You're screeching to the pryer here, lady.

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!

[forgethexblade]

Do you ever stop complaining?

[notelizabeth]

Do you ever stop being a jerk?

[spider_kisser]

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

Re: Oh yes. XD

[soyoudonthaveto]

BAD TOUCH!

[I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN-]

HE CALLED A 14-YEAR OLD SAOIRSE RONAN-LOOKALIKE CUTE! GET CHRIS HANSEN! GET NAMBLA!

...

NOT THE PEDOPHILES, THE MARLON BRANDO LOOKALIKES!

[spider_kisser]

I think you mean "preaching to the choir".

[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.

[forgethexblade]

Where'd the fun be in that?

[notelizabeth]

H-hey, wait a minute! You're not wearing that stupid helmet!

[forgethexblade]

Uh, obviously.

[notelizabeth]

It...just took me by surprise, is all! It doens't mean anything!

[Except....god damn it, he's kind of hot.]

[forgethexblade]

Can't wear it all the time.

[And it doesn't really work well with his newfound colorblindness.]

[notelizabeth]

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

[notelizabeth]

Errrr......

[Just staring]
