I like the idea behind this, good concept. I've
always wondered if the senshi couldn't do
anything besides their fixed attacks, and
reworking their powers to their personality and
lifestyle caught my interest. However, I think it
could have been better if you had worked the
changes in gradually, instead of the cats
dropping them on us with a full explanation in
the first page. This way it seems more like
visiting one of those webpages that give you all
the boring statistics about the senshi.
I'm not too sure I like Ami coming off malicious
like that at the end of this teaser, either, but
hey, it's your story.
Peace,
AjaX
It's a teaser, I'm sure many details will change if/when it gets expanded.
I know I'm interested in it. One of my favorite series is Sailor Moon
Expanded. The storyline of which largely surrounds a group of Youma called
renegades.
And I didn't see Ami as coming off malicious. If I went into the past to
say, a few years before WWII, it's easy to say I'd hunt down and shoot
Hitler. But some important things were established in that war, if killing
Hitler prevents/changes the focus of the war (which Germany was preparing
for even before Hitler came along) these things might not be established.
See list/rant below
Rei, with this vision of what the future would be like, with a different
slant than what Pluto has. Now that's someone that Jack will have to
address. Pluto might see the future on the surface. Wars like WWII might
jar her extremely. Her mission is to see Crystal Tokyo established. Thus
she pushes for that. Rei, on the other hand, might see a lack of fire,
innovation, motivation. She sees a different landscape, a civilization that
will eventually fall, having the same problems as the Silver Millenium.
Partnered with Amy in a mental link, I can see them coming to this
conclusion. Besides, didn't Artemis just suggest doing the same thing?
*WARNING: RANT FOLLOWING*
Points/Rant
1. Racial Genocide WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED
1b. Another blow against racial discrimination
2. The U.S. will step in to block aggressive countries. It ends up costing
more in the end if the country can take, hold, and make productive captive
areas. Germany isn't the best example, but it is one. (Germany would have
been tough no matter what. And we made attempts to stop/slow down the
USSR.) What would have happened if we hadn't stopped Iraq? Would it have
gone on to take over the rest of the area? Then try for the world?
3. Not Established completely, but has a historical precident: What
happened in Germany can happen ANYWHERE. Even in the U.S. (Look at all the
supremist/radical groups). On the other hand, I oppose taking the guns from
them as long as they aren't violent, because you also end up with precident
for disarmament, and general disarmament of the population. The Nazis took
over Germany in less than one generation, people. Part of that was that
they took over the Government. That is what the 2nd amendment is for in the
US. It's the right of the people, if the goverment looses it's principle of
serving the people, starts becoming oppresive, to orgainize and overthrow
it. If a civilian and a hundred of his friends get together to take
organized military action in support of something, they're a militia. If
the same group isn't organized, then they're a mob. With a militia, some
more thought into their position is evident.
4. It shook the U.S. out of a largely isolationist world position.
Putting a hit out on Hitler doesn't seem so simple anymore, does it?
