Sailor Moon What-ifs

Well, here's my "What If?". What if instead of Ryo, Ami's boyfriend was an exchange student from Amreica who happens to be a member of an intergalactic police force, namely, The Green Lantern Corps?

What if Endymion had fallen in love with Beryl instead of Usagi in the Silver Millenium?

What if Rei had a different religion?

What if Luna was a boy, and Artemis was a girl? (He has a goddess' name anyway)

What if Luna was Sailor Moon, and Usagi was her cat guardian? (God, I scare myself sometimes)

What if the Amazon Trio had stayed as animals?

What if all of the villains were reincarnated?

1) Then the "Evil Endymion" Arc would've happened sooner and Usagi would've fallen in love with someone else.

2) Then Rei might either lose her psychic powers or gain different ones.

3) Actually, that's the way the Korean dub went, I think. Some other country's dub did, certainly.

4) Then it would be REALLY weird and interesting because then Sailor Moon would be more mature than her guardian!

5) Reincarnated evil or good? If they were good they might be powerful allies but if they're bad then it could spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E for the Sailor Senshi.

What if hair color was genetic in anime?

Hmm..Chibi-Usa would've had black or blonde hair, and it would be even MORE obvios that she was Usagi and Mamaro's child. I'm suprised they couldn't tell by that dumpling hair and Luna P.

What if....

... the Dead Moon Circus started their attack circa the middle/end of Eudial's arc in S?

... Eudial survived her appearent demise in the anime?

... the Senshi Quartette made an appearence in SS and/or Stars?

Then Toei would have to rewrite the entire end of SuperS/beginning of Stars. Remember, in the anime,

[spoiler]The Amazoness Quartet became ordinary girls at the end when they destroyed their crystal balls, with no magical powers whatsoever.[/spoiler]

Granted, it would be interesting, but it doubt it would change the story that much at all until the final episodes of Stars if they were to do that.[/spoiler]

1) Then with both the Death Busters and the Dead Moon Circus to contend with, the Senshi may not have lived to see the end of the S season. They were all fairly, if not almost, close to dying in the end of S, so I'm pretty sure that the addition of another, more powerful enemy would be too much for them. Then again, with Pegasus at her side, Chibi-Usa-sama's heart crystal may have been saved, so in that scenario the battle ends up just being more interesting rather than necessarily more difficult.
2) Either way, she'd probably not survive long. Mimette seemed pretty determined to kill her, and the other Witches didn't like her much either, so they all might've jumped her sometime.

What if Mamoru had a relationship with Michiru instead?

What if Sailor Pluto and Kind Endymion married each other?

1) Then Haruka would be VERY angry with him and she might even hate him.

2) It depends on which time period they fall in love during. If it's during the present or the future, then Chibi-Usa-sama wouldn't be born, there would be a different queen, the Pluto line would take over the Moon line, and some other kid would visit the past and call him/herself "Sailor Chibi Pluto." And if it's in the past...then we'd probably have a whole new show:
Utsukushii Senshi Sailor Pluto, all about Sailor Pluto, who fights evil stoicly with her equally stoic and quiet boyfriend, Tuxedo Mask!
(the reason I changed the name is because "bishoujo" refers to a beautiful young girl, whereas "utsukushii" just means beautiful in general, so it applies to Pluto, who isn't young)

That's assuming that the Death Busters and the Dead Moon didn't start taking shots at one another.

Hmm, that's a good point. In that case, the Senshi would have the easiest time EVER in a season, because then the villains would all or mostly kill each other!

[spoiler] But then, without Nehelenia, Galaxia would have to find someone else who hates the Senshi to awaken so that Saturn's star-seed can mature[/spoiler]

Lol. That's an interesting one.

I don't think I can state my 'what if's' without a ton of spoilers. Highlight if you really need to know.

[spoiler]In some European Stars dubs I read about some months back, (at I believe www.makenai.org/makenai) there were several ideas to 'fix' what was 'wrong' with the series. As we all know, Stars doesn't stand a chance getting dubbed here because of how the starlights are transexuals (well hey! they're guys who turn into girls, for pete's sake!) and Haruka and Michiru's lesbian relationship (revealed in first episode when Haruka said she doesn't eat too many sweets outside a bed, and also another episode I forget which one, after Michiru's joint concert with the Three Lights, she asks Haruka to help her change). Some theories I read with the starlights for example, is to cut the henshins entirely and make the Three Lights and the Starlights twins. In that case, then they'd might as well cut the whole airplane scene out. Another idea is to make the starlights female all the time. But then the downside to that is that they'd have to cut out Usagi and Seiya's relationship entirely because then it would become 'inappropriate'. I would rather not have stars dubbed so that I won't have to see my 'what if's' become reality. Stars was my favorite season because of the relationships between the senshi and any one of these suggestions would completely ruin the whole meaning behind the series. These cuts would completely change the significance of the relationship between the Sailor Senshi and the Sailor Starlights >_>[/spoiler]

The Starlights really were the Three Lights' twin sisters in the Italian dub.

What if, Haruka and Michiru found a way for the two of them to put their genes into a child... who would carry it?
I'd say Michiru. Michiru seems more like the type who would, and I just can't imagine Haruka being pregnant...

*Snorts with insane laughter at imagining Haruka pregnant*

Um, yes, I have to agree with you there. She just isn't the type. Because what if it DID happen to the masculine Haruka? How do you think she'd feel?

Michiru, need it be said, is a very motherly type person. She'd be an excellent mom, (and sort of fills that role in the manga when all three Outers pledge to raise Hotaru.....)

Sestuna? *grapples with sub/dub versions of character* Sestuna, sub version, would strike me as a business mother. She has a lot of gentle mother qualities and has treated Chibiusa in a gentle, motherish way, but she often wears the business suit, also, one who also likes to go out and work.

Dub version? Teenybopper in a business suit. You have a girlish-sounding, gum-snapping kid wearing a business suit and you think of them as lap pets for their bosses. (NO, I do NOT view Sestuna this way! But a teenybopper voice does not belong with someone like Sestuna. Someone with that kind of voice belongs to a character named Bunny or Candy, if you get my drift. Not our serious Sestuna....)(Oh, and no offens to any REAL Bunnys or Candys out there. Teenybopper voice is an airhead, giggly voice is what I'm implying, and doesn't mix with a business suit.)

And now to the "What Ifs":

What if Chibiusa never realized Mamoru and Usagi were her parents?

What if the three treasures the Daimons were looking for were actually to be found in the heart crystals of innocent bystanders?

What if the outers actually were forced to take one?

Along that line, what if one of them had been in Sailor Moon's body?

What if Pegasus' relationship had been with Usagi, and not Chibiusa?

You'd be surprised, I have met (and dated) quite a few really butch lesbians who either are or were pregnant. Who knows, perhaps motherhood would make Haruka a little less of a hard-ass.

BTW, hi ppl I'm new! Nice to meet y'all! I'm back w/ the sailor moonies after a few years of hiatus. What has brought me back? Only the Goddess knows for sure.

1) She didn't "realize" it, they were all told that by King Endymion when they went to the future. At least, that's what I can remember from watching the R season, but I might be wrong about that. If she never found out, though, she might've stayed a TOTAL antagonist to Usagi and kept on flirting with Mamoru in more sincere way (I think she does it just to tease Usagi after she finds out that he's her dad).

2) Then, I wonder, how would the Outers get the talismen? Which ties into the next one...

3) Maybe they DO take the talismen from the people! They're doing it for good purposes, right? But then the other Senshi REALLY hate them, and they have an all-out Senshi war, and while the Senshi are fighting with each other, the Death Busters kill them, thus ending the Sailor Moon series with S, unless they get reborn or the series continues with completely new reincarnations in SuperS.

4) If it was in Usagi's body, then Michiru would've taken it (see #3). As for Haruka, I'm not so sure. She didn't want to take Usagi's heart crystal, and maybe she would've argued with Michiru? Or she might've taken it, gone insane, and started calling it Usagi! (imagination part here)
Haruka: (cradling Space Sword) Usagi, I'll protect you, you sweet, naive girl.
Michiru: (exasperated) Haruka! For the last time, THAT'S A SWORD, NOT A PERSON!!!
Haruka: How dare you! This is my friend Usagi! (pokes her finger on the sword) OWW!! Usagi, why?! (starts crying)

5) That would've made the SuperS season have rather different character development. Perhaps, instead of focusing on Chibi-Usa-sama's maturation through her friendship/romance with Pegasus, it might be more of an love triangle story. Mamoru would get jealous of Pegasus, and might desperately search for some other way to beat the Lemures that doesn't require summoning his love-rival. As for Chibi-Usa-sama, she would probably also fight with Usagi and side with Mamoru in trying to find a new way to beat the Lemures. Or, since Pegasus would still give her the new power-up, she might like him at first but then have doubts, and it could still focus on her maturation, but through dealing with her own conflicting feelings about their new, mysterious ally--one the one hand, he gave them power-ups and helps them beat the Lemures, but on the other hand, he's a threat to her own existence if Usagi falls in love with him instead of Mamoru.

hehehehe. I love it.
What if there was a Sailor Sun or a Sailor Earth (assuming, then, that Mamoru was not the 'senshi' of the Earth)?
What if Ami really had moved away in that one episode?

Then hundreds of fanfic authors would have been stuck for character names and so much crap might not have been written.
