Yeah, I think I've been giving Takeuchi too much credit this entire time. I mean, I've been giving the cliche-ness a pass but it's becoming too much. Like gee, I wonder how they're gonna win this time? Is it. The power of friendship????

Oh boy, don't expect much. You know how in the old anime she defeats Beryl and What's her face with her friends (They're dead in the Japanese version)? Nope, in the manga she does it with Mamoru and the power of love while the other scouts dick around in the snow. She gets her next wand from just being with Mamoru, too, instead of from Queen Serenity.

In the first anime, the spirits of her dead friends helped her defeat Queen Beryl. Which was preferable to what happened in the manga imo.

HAHAHA I almost typed "the power of love" apparently that would've been more apt.

Honestly the last episode was so tepidly feminist I'm beginning to think the people who worship SM as a feminist icon are full of hot air. I'm also beginning to think the old anime made Sailor Moon as a whole what it is to so many people. Takeuchi almost sounds like a bad writer but I'll reserve judgement on that front.

Ayrt

Maybe. There's the fact that Sailor Moon is over twenty years old and many of the tropes that appeared in it are really overdone in anime/manga now.

The original manga run of Sailor Moon was only fifty two chapters and with such a large cast of characters in such a short run, most of them were underdeveloped. Didn't help that Naoko just kept adding characters.
