Darien/Mamoru makes me want to punch him. A lot.


I finally watched Stars (I grew up with the English dub and have been rewatching those because nostalgia. And then I dove into Stars. Okay, you all win. Sub is better. I give).

Do people care about spoilers when something's been out for years? Whatever. Light spoilers ahead or something...

I'm having a hard time. So BESIDES the fact that (English dub names because nostalgia!) Darien/Tuxedo Mask's "power" is pretty unhelpful as is (there's a YouTube video out there that was made a couple months ago making fun of him. It's wonderful), and BESIDES the fact that he's prone to being kidnapped/controlled/etc. and Serena has to save him all. the. time...this season, she writes him every day with no replies, saves his ass for the umpteenth time (and doesn't give in to Seiya's "advances", regardless if she ever caught on to his/her feelings [pronouns for the Starlights are hard])...and at the end, all he's got for her is "being around you feels nice!".

What?? Look, I'm perfectly happy with superhero Sailor Moon over love story Sailor Moon, but come on! At the end of everything and THIS is what you give me?! Luckily, it could be worse. I could feel like all those poor souls who devoted their lives to Lost and got that finale. But still.

Gah.

Well, he's a college student dating a middleschooler. How much do you expect from him? 

The original version of him from the manga was only like 1 year older than Serena/Usagi (just a LOT taller than her), and he actually had superpowers (energy blasting and stuff).

An all around much cooler badass character.
