#Hebert moon

[flo-zoinks]

it's crazy to me how there's hateful fans in the rdr2 fanbase sometimes (rascists, homophobes, ect ect) granttes they're everywhere. When the game literally at mutiple points makes fun of these types of people, perfect example being Herbert moon in undead nightmare.

Now I'm not saying red dead is perfect, there are groups and topics I believe it represents poorly if not grossly at times.

I see fans that be acting like Herbert moon. Like dawg, John would watch you get mauled by a zombie. Sorry for the tangent I just think it's ironic

Oh TRUST ME I know this

Most guys I know irl that have played this game are same boys I see glorifying Nigel Farage and making the most outrageous comments that make you whip ur head around to be like wtf did you just say😧❓

NOT TO MENTION most of these people assume that like Arthur and John would back them up to say that Today's society is all snowflakes and shit over furries. I think to be honest 100% they would be a bit confused with the idea but decide it's not their business, and MOVE ON!!!

Gay people ? MOVE ON

immigrants ? MOVE ON

They forget how most characters will seemingly turn their heads away from things they don't personally understand, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. LIKE THEY SHOULD !!!

Herbert moon omg😭🙏

I crackled during his whole monologue because he said he hates Mexicans, and ESPECIALLY British homosexual Catholics (said in that order and repeated by John) ..because I'm a half Mexican- half British Catholic homosexual 😭💔

What a combo ??? Herbert's archnemesis

But fr fr I get u it IS ironic you so right 😭🙏🙏

The Strange Man's hut

Now, the Strange Man's hut is nothing short of a mystery, and there is an abundance of things in it which is interesting from references to the choices you make in game to personal belongings of the strange man, so here are my highlights.

"The water is black with venom", "The moon will shine on even in darkness" and the map of Armadillo is to me a reference to Hebert Moon's deal with the strange man.

The Strange Man's hat

"From the snow to the cave" is to me the rdr2 story which starts in the snow of Colter and ends with Beaver's Hollow.

"I gave everything for art. And I learned too much and nothing at all." this one I am not entirely sure what to make of, but I would guess it is Dutch's story with philosophy. It is him giving everything to become the man he wanted to be, he gave everything to his ideals, yet in the end it is revealed he was a fraud. He gave everything and learned too much yet nothing at all.

The melting painting of The Strange man which after being finished will, yes, melt and at the bottom:

what looks like a puddle of blood??

5 + 1 Fic Friday Roundups: Overpowered AF

It's March which apparently has the "Worm Moon". What's more Worm fandom than out of context powers being OP as f*ck? So have some OP protagonists.

Tyrant (SB) - "Brockton Bay meets the unstoppable force and the unmoveable object that is the CYOAv1 Alexandria Package. It doesn't go well."

Hive Daughter (FF) - "At that exact moment, Taylor Hebert connected to a vast alien entity. In most universes, she gets the power to control insects, in some, she gets a slightly different power. In this universe, in some cosmic case of wrong telephone number, Taylor connected to the wrong vast alien entity. In this universe, for a few seconds, Taylor Hebert connected to the Tyranid Hive Mind."

Nailing the Sword (AO3) - "Taylor and a group of other disillusioned teens are given powers that easily surpass even the most powerful parahumans on Earth Bet. They don't take Brockton Bay by storm, but they do make waves with long reaching consequences."

Blood and Magic (AO3) - "Harry has problems after the war, so he moves to the States, where everything is muggle and dull and perfectly normal. Except for the thestrals he brought with him, and the vampires who keep showing up around him."

Shadow Magic (AO3 / FF) - "HPTN slash. AU. Harry was born with a power the Dark Lord knows not: the magic to see into shadows, to walk the shadows, and to send the shadows everywhere. This changes his life rather dramatically. Amoral Harry, seven parts. COMPLETE."

Bonus: Listen, Strange Space Wizards in Temples Distributing Laser Swords is No Basis for a System of Government (AO3) - "Before the Death Star can begin its campaign of terror against the Rebel Alliance, the attention of the Empire is diverted to the Unknown Regions, where Imperial forces have recently made contact with an irritatingly governed high-tech civilization calling itself the Culture. In response to the Culture's rebuffs of Imperial demands, the dreaded Death Star has been sent to display the Emperor's disapproval and bring this 'Culture' to its knees."

[doggirlbuffysummersmain]

Rough unfiltered thoughts - I know I have mentioned the web serial Worm (para humans.wordpress.net) on here once in a blue moon and I think like. The starting conceit - Taylor Hebert being an aspiring teenaged superhero who decides to infiltrate a group of similarly teenage supervillain and turn them in, then finding that these villains are the closest thing she has to friends, is a nifty take on the genre. Taylor struggling to at least try to maintain a moral code and avoid killing when her power is literally controlling creepy crawlies. I think there are a lot of segments though that just don't do it for me, like pretty much everything after a certain point in the serial. Slaughterhouse Nine arc is the highlight of the series. Never gets better than the original Slaughterhouse Nine arc. Bonesaw. Siberian. Shatterbird.

HANGING OUT AT MEZZROW’S

MIKE LEDONNE with John Webber and Willie Jones III, 3 FEBRUARY 2024, 7:30 pm

STEVE ASH with Harvie S and Alvester Garnett, 3 FEBRUARY 2024, 10:30 pm

RAY GALLON with Paul Gill and Jason Brown, 1 FEBRUARY 2024, 10:30 pm

It is rarely a bad week for pianos in general and at Mezzrow’s, I have been pleasantly “stuck” with them after a sojourn of drummerless trios with brass. Back to basics and yet there are connections to those standards heavy shows. Most especially, the best parts of Richie Vitale’s gig were STEVE ASH’s forceful piano and Paul Gill’s bowed bass solos. So I got to see both of them more on their own terms, including Gill with regular partner RAY GALLON.

I had also ventured into Alvaro Torres’ freer/New Music set with John Hebert and Barry Altschul comfortable enough to have my ears stretched that way. He is a sparer pianist, so the counter was a strong set from Miki Yamanaka and then, in person, Billy Childs with Ari Hoenig. Yamanaka, Childs, MIKE LEDONNE, and Ash all play with rich power and insistent swing. Far from tame, they each have nifty surprises within structures that give a sense of familiarity.

I have often found MIKE LEDONNE a bit heavy handed particularly in trios (his role in large ensembles plays to that strength), but he was well suited to my mood. The tunes were bright and interesting—from Billy Eckstine, Cedar Walton, Coltrane maybe (it was a not too reverential After the Rain), and a couple of originals. He was like all of them, a nice mix of fluidity, percussiveness, and lyricism. Willie Jones III was, as always, delightful and important; John Webber was strong and fluid. They were a big, bright band.

STEVE ASH was also very strong and dynamic, maybe a tiny bit subtler. He did have Harvie S on bass and, with Alverster Garnett, they had a new recording to highlight. I liked their material—You and the Night and the Music, I’m Just a Lucky So and So, Bud Powell’s Una Nocha Con Francis (bebop and Latin!), a Jobim, Effendi (strong and modal but evoking McCoy Tyner, not imitating him), an original (I think) ballad, and Speak Low. Harvie S’s strums high on the finger board on Effendi stood out, but it was interesting to see him with a “bigger” trio than with Alan Broadbent and Billy Mintz.

I hope it is not faint praise to call RAY GALLON a welterweight among these cruiser- even heavy- weights. Calling Hank Mobley the middleweight champion of the tenor in the 1950s was meant as an insult, though it shouldn’t be. I simply mean his touch is lighter and he goes a bit back into the source material. He did not open, as he did the last few times I saw him, with Ellington’s Harlem Air Shaft, but did include Moon Song from a 1959 Louis Armstrong date with Oscar Peterson. Pops is Pops and timeless, but he doesn’t get as directly referenced much these days. Still the original opener Plus One sounded Ellington-ish, particularly given my expectations. His previous second tune Two Track Mind was the closer, but a slightly deconstructed Nardis was third almost as expected. His Zombette did have a French feel, a bit of those Debussy Preludes discordances. His touch is just slightly lighter and the rhythmic drive subtler. Perhaps Gill’s arco solos are part of that, but Jason Brown’s drumming with just one ride cymbal was as crisp and inventive as Garnett and Jones III.

Throw in Yamanaka and Childs and this is a strong run for me with my preferred format.

5 min read NASA’s Dragonfly Tunnel Visions Dragonfly Team Utilizes Unique NASA Facilities to Shape Its Innovative Titan-bound Rotorcraft  Dragonfly team members review the half-scale lander model after it underwent wind tunnel testing at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Pictured are (from left) Art Azarbarzin, Juan Cruz, Wayne Dellinger, Zibi Turtle, Chuck Hebert, Ken Hibbard, Bernadine Juliano and Bruce Owens.Johns Hopkins APL/Ed Whitman With its dense atmosphere and low gravity, Saturn’s moon Titan is a great place to fly.  But well before NASA’s Dragonfly rotorcraft lander soars through Titan’s skies, researchers on Earth – led by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland – are making sure their designs and models for the nuclear-powered, car-sized drone will work in a truly unique environment. Artist’s impression of the Dragonfly rotorcraft lander on the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon and a major target in NASA’s quest to assess habitability and search for potential signs of life beyond Earth on worlds across the solar system.NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Steve Gribben Dragonfly, NASA’s only mission to the surface of another ocean world, is designed to investigate the complex chemistry that is the precursor to life. The vehicle, which APL will build and operate, will be equipped with cameras, sensors and samplers to examine swaths of Titan known to contain organic materials that may, at some point in Titan’s complex history, have come in contact with liquid water beneath the organic-rich, icy surface.  To transport those science instruments across the moon, Dragonfly’s four pairs of coaxial rotors (meaning one rotor is stacked above the other) will need to slice through Titan’s dense, nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Four times in the past three years, the mission team has headed to Virginia to test its flight systems in one-of-a-kind facilities at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.  Mission engineers have conducted two test campaigns in NASA Langley’s 14-by-22-foot Subsonic Tunnel, and two in the 16-foot Transonic Dynamics Tunnel (TDT).  They use the Subsonic Tunnel to validate computational fluid dynamics models and data gathered from integrated test platforms – terrestrial drones outfitted with Dragonfly-designed flight electronics. They use the variable-density heavy gas capabilities of the TDT to validate its models under simulated Titan atmospheric conditions — one aerodynamic stability test of the aeroshell that is used to deliver the Lander to a release point above Titan’s surface and one to model the Lander’s rotors aerodynamics.  “All of these tests feed into our Dragonfly Titan simulations and performance predictions,” said Ken Hibbard, Dragonfly mission systems engineer at APL.  On its latest trip to NASA Langley, in June, the team set up a half-scale Dragonfly lander model, complete with eight rotors, in the 14-by-22 Subsonic Tunnel. Test lead Bernadine Juliano of APL said the campaign focused on two flight configurations: Dragonfly’s descent and transition to powered flight upon arrival at Titan, and forward flight over Titan’s surface.  “We tested conditions across the expected flight envelope at a variety of wind speeds, rotor speeds, and flight angles to assess the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle,” she said. “We completed more than 700 total runs, encompassing over 4,000 individual data points. All test objectives were successfully accomplished and the data will help increase confidence in our simulation models on Earth before extrapolating to Titan conditions.” APL engineers are analyzing the 14-by-22 test data with mission flight team partners at the University of Central Florida, Penn State University, Lockheed Martin Sikorsky, NASA Langley and NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California. Rick Heisler, the Dragonfly wind tunnel test lead from APL who heads the TDT test campaigns, said each trip to NASA Langley has given the team a chance to hone its technical models and designs and, specifically in the TDT, gain a better idea of how Dragonfly’s rotors will perform in Titan’s exotic atmosphere.   “The heavy gas environment in the TDT has a density three-and-a-half times higher than air while operating at sea level ambient pressure and temperature,” Heisler said, “This allows the rotors to operate at near-Titan conditions and better replicate the lift and dynamic loading the actual lander will experience. The data we acquire are used to validate predictions of the lander aerodynamics, aero-structural performance and rotor fatigue life in the harsh cryogenic environment on Titan.” “With Dragonfly, we’re turning science fiction into exploration fact,” Hibbard said. “The mission is coming together piece by piece, and we’re excited for every next step toward sending this revolutionary rotorcraft across the skies and surface of Titan.”  Part of NASA’s New Frontiers Program, Dragonfly is scheduled to launch no earlier than 2027 and arrive at Titan in the mid-2030s. Principal Investigator Elizabeth Turtle of APL leads a mission team that includes engineers, scientists and specialists from APL as well as NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; Lockheed Martin Space in Littleton, Colorado; NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California; NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia; Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania; University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida; Lockheed Martin Sikorsky in Stratford, Connecticut; Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego; Honeybee Robotics in Pasadena, California; NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California;  CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) in Paris; the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne, Germany; and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) in Tokyo.  Learn more at www.nasa.gov/dragonfly

Astro-Inspiration for March 2, 2023: As the World Turns

To repeat from yesterday: “Don’t throw caution to the wind, remember too much of a good thing can be just that ... too much. You’re feeling a desire for self-preservation and your mind turns toward seriously considering issues surrounding self-discipline and the mental blocks impeding the way forward. But you’ll also notice a new, more sensitive, subjective, and intuitive approach is taking hold, and you could feel more vulnerable to everything you see and read. Don’t play the victim game.... but do notice people in the world who truly have been victimized and need support.

Taken together, this energy could arouse some anxiety or cause erratic behavior, so be mindful when interacting with others. On a more positive note, think expansion, prosperity, or an exhilarating breakthrough... perhaps an opportunity of a lifetime, or planting seeds of thought for a kinder, gentler future.

Today’s Quote

“Inequality and poverty, health and wealth are hand in hand. And if we are all born equal that should be true in all lands. We cannot divide the world between poor and rich countries. It's like saying the ones are good, the others are junkies. That can only increase more prejudice, miseries and sorrow. Turning the wheel today will lead to a better tomorrow.” ~ Ana Claudia Antunes

Today’s Sky

Venus in Aries Conjunct Jupiter in Aries. Mercury in Aquarius Conjunct Saturn in Aquarius, Mercury enters Pisces. Moon in Cancer Sextile Uranus in Taurus, Trine Neptune.

Note: On March 7th, Saturn moves from Aquarius to Pisces, and everyone is already beginning to feel this energy shift. Contemplate Hemingway’s novella “Old Man and the Sea.” The story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal -- a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Like the story of the “Old Man and the Sea,” Saturn in Pisces will remind the world of a fundamental human truth: in a volatile world, from our first breath to our last wish, through triumphs and pitfalls both trivial and profound, what ultimately sustains us is faith and hope.

Herbert Moon and his deal with the devil

Hebert Moon and his whole existance might be one of the most interesting supernational phenomenons in the entire Red Dead franchise. To those who do not recongise the name you might recongize him from Undead Nightmare where he yelled about hating practially anyone who isn't white, protestant, straight, male, ya know.

This lovely fella/j.

Now in the storyline he has very little importance, but when you look around and start sniffing at his life you realise that he has had a MASSIVE impact on the world around him, mostly Armadillo as he is possibly the reason the whole town is dying from cholera, making his death count estounding.

Now what is the reason that I, as well as many others, believe that he did this? Well the first clue is in his shop.

If you, with John, go into his general store in Armadillo you will not only find him mocking everyone dying around him, but also a picture of the strange man, something John will comment on and Hebert will reply was just some dude who gave it to him.

Now if you then go to the strange man's hut in rdr2 you will find a large amount of things tracing him to Hebert, first of which being writing on the wall saying "the moon will shine on in the darkness" refering to Hebert's imunity to the sickness killing everything around him. The second thing is another writing, saying "the water is black with posion," some find this to have something to do with Butchers Creek, others, as myself, find this to be a reference to the cholera traveling through the water as many signs in the town warns of.

Even more dooming than the first two things, a map of Armadillo with a few blood stains and the writing "I offered you happiness or two generations, you made your choice" can be found. And what links this poem to Hebert? The letter he has which you can take from him after killing him.

The letter is from his daughter whom he disowned after she married a jew and had son with him. Hebert got his two generations, he got a daughter and he got a grandchild, but he cannot be happy, that is the deal, so the son in law is a person of a religon he hates and the town around him is dying.

Chocolate And Vanilla, Nice Dream Poem by Hebert Logerie A beautiful Sunday afternoon Amid the estival breeze of a silent moon You and I did enjoy a few scoops Of our favorite dessert; oops, oops We hugged, kissed and teased each other And uneventfully realized when mixed together Chocolate and vanilla esthetically are wonderful Miraculous, incredible, visual and sensual. Voluminous kisses, voluptuous hugs Velvety waves and intermittent moaning Of ecstasy until the next morning Surprisingly, mosquitoes and bugs Stayed away, where we became one Darling! We do know how to have fun Chocolate and vanilla are two vital ingredients That nourished bodies and soul, soil and plants. #mystique #spiritique #valentines #ValentinesDay #Valentinesweek chocolate #chocolateday #chocolateday2023 #HappyValentinesday #ValentinesSeason #valentinesszn #lovers #loversday #loversseason #loversszn #poems #poem #poetic #poet #poetry #poems #poetryofinstagram #classicpoetry #mindfulness #Spiritual #Spirituality #mystical #mystic #mysticisim #sweets #sweettreat #sweettreats https://www.instagram.com/p/CocPQ-qybEC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[ultraericthered]

100% agreeable list, but I'd definitely throw these onto there as well.

Motoki - Steve Bednarski (Cloverway). Could not give a single shit about Colin O'Mera as "Andrew" in the DiC dub, he was that generic. Steve gave Motoki the sort of portrayal he needed to have similarly to how Lucien Dodge would in the Viz dub. On one hand, it meant he had to lose his role as "Chad", which went to two weak replacements. On the other hand, he still fits Motoki better than he did Fiore!

Yuichiro - Steve Bednarski (DiC). Steve's first SM role, and he's the reason I think changing Yuichiro into a homeless struggling rock singer worked as well as it did. Damon D'Oliveira was terrible at attempting to recreate it, and Jason Barr just dropped the accent altogether yet was more obnoxious than endearing, sounding like a poor attempt at what Wally Wingert would end up doing succesfully.

Unazuki - Sabrina Grdevich & Catherine Disher (Dic/Cloverway). Like with her Ann, I don't know why Sabrina's Unazuki clicked as well as it did, but I like it. Catherine Disher in the Cloverway dub of S is a little closer to how Veronica Taylor does her in the Viz dub, and suits this role better than she did Mimet, who she was dreadfully miscast as (Why'd they get Eudial and Mimet's casting so ass backwards?)

Zoisite - Kirsten Bishop (DiC). Gender aside, Kirsten definitely understood the assignment and played Zoisite the best we could've asked her. Deepen the voice and it's a dead ringer for Lucien Dodge!

Kunzite - Denis Akiyama (DiC). Hey, if inconsistency takes you off the list, then Wiseman shouldn't have gotten on there! I will say that Denis' "Malachite" is particularly frustrating case of it because if he'd kept the deeper tone he began with nailed down for the whole performance rather than been hampered by inept, rushed direction, he'd have been the one Shittenou voice I'd have straight up prefered in the DiC dub compared to Viz! Which is not dissing Patrick Seitz, who absolutely kills it in the role, but something about the quality of Denis' voice and his accent just screams "King of the Middle East". But after Zoisite's death, he just lost his solid footing with the voice and oftentimes sounded lighter and younger than Nephrite did!

Koan - Alice Poon (DiC). It's insane. Literally the one and only Specter Sister voice that DiC got right, and she's the only one to not make it through the full run, being traded out for the absolute worst miscast for a Specter Sister voice in Mary Long's shit rendition.

Kyuusuke - Nicola St. John (DiC/Cloverway). Yes, his voice was very grating and obnoxious. So is Kyle Hebert's in the Viz dub. He's kind of supposed to sound obnoxious, and in this case I'll take the one that grates on you but actually sounds age appropriate!

Definitely agree on the Amazon Quartet VAs. Both casts did great, it's just that the Cloverway one was stuck in a crappy production.

The Coulda Been Contenders:

Usagi - Terri Hawkes (DiC). Poor, poor Terri. Easily the most iconic and well known Sailor Moon dub VA other than Stephanie Sheh, and we know she's got the talent and potential to do the part justice. We even hear it in a select few lines. But goddamn Roland "Melvin" Parliament did her no favors, telling her that her every take was solid and encouraging her misinterpretation of the character to the point where it just became deeply ingrained into her and the audience. If Tracey Moore was to be traded out for anyone else, then she needed to do her damndest to fill those shoes and she just...didn't. At all.

Luna - Jill Frappier (DiC). Yes, really. I think the initial turning down of Jill in the role for sounding "too old" was correct, but also that if Jill had been directed to at least try to put on a younger sounding voice, we could've gotten something unique and well acted out of her in this role. But hey, we got "the NEGAVERSE!" out of what she went for!

Nephrite - Kevin Lund (DiC). Wheezy evil laugh aside, his voice for Nephrite in his first two episodes (both Tracey Moore episodes before Roland took over, funny that) worked for him, he does good when he puts on the "Maxfield Stanton" facade, and every now and then he got slam dunk deliverys like when creating his star crystal and during the big final act of his final episode. I don't know what happened and what he thought he was doing for the majority of his performance but wow. WOW, was it ever laughable and ill-fitting!

Queen Metalia - Maria Vacratsis (DiC). Another one who suffered from inconsistency, but the thing is that if she maintained her voice from her debut (a Tracey Moore episode, funny that), she'd have been pitch perfect. But the problem is that she was used on so many Youma beforehand and so what her voice devolved into was just another generic "Monster of the Week" voice. For the Nega Force!

The All-Time Loser:

Yeah. History really repeated itself with Umino. Roland Parliament's strangely Terry Klassen-esque voice worked perfectly for him to start with, but after Sailor Mercury's debut he began exaggerating it to be higher, shriller and more annoying because Roland finally "found the character's voice" (read: a total caricature). Similarly, Ben Diskin had a workable voice for Umino in the first few episodes, but it went south for him once again after Sailor Mercury's debut, and rather than ease into something more along the lines of Max from Miraculous, he deepened the voice and made it soudn ridiculously sickly and nasal, which absolutely killed dead any attempts at comedic delivery.

I know he's one of the least liked characters in the series, but man, he didn't deserve to be done so dirty twice!

So, I think the Viz dub of Sailor Moon is unquestionably the definitive English dub, no question about it. It blows DiC and Cloverway out of the water, and while I miss some of DiC's musical scores and songs, it is still clearly superior. With that said, these are the voices from those old dubs that I feel are just as good - and rarely, even better - than Viz's ones.

Usagi - Tracey Moore (DiC). To this day, Tracey Moore might be the most believable voice Usagi has ever had. Kotono Mitsuishi and Stephanie Sheh may be more definitive, but both are clearly putting on a high-pitched voice, whereas Moore's high-pitched voice sounded natural, like a real teenage girl's. More importantly, she nailed Usagi's character. Beyond Terri Hawkes being completely failed by her incompetent fanboy of a voice director who lacked all objectivity when it came to her and Linda Ballantyne being miscast, neither of them got Usagi's character right, voicing her as if she's a regular teenage girl which Usagi is not: she's a 14 year old who starts out with the maturity of a 7 year old. Moore had that childish quality down perfectly, as well as the heroic quality as Sailor Moon. That she ended up voicing the character the least out of anyone due to DiC rushing production is absolutely criminal.

Ami - Karen Bernstein (DiC). C'mon, how can you not like that odd Trans-Atlantic accent she gives Ami? Or the way she says "Mercury Bubbles - BLAST!" It sounds so appealing.

Rei - Katie Griffin (DiC/Cloverway). Now I love Cristina Vee, and kudos to Emily Barlow for temporarily filling in for Katie and giving a damn fine impression. But something about Katie's voice for Rei just sounds, much like Tracey Moore as Usagi, natural. I tend not to hear someone putting on a voice performance with Katie; I just hear Rei / Sailor Mars herself.

Makoto - Susan Roman (DiC/Cloverway). She did a great job. Not much else to say.

Minako - Emily Barlow (Cloverway). I will say that Stephanie Morgenstern did a far better job in the Pioneer-issued DiC movie dubs than she did in the show proper, but I still felt she failed when it came to conveying Minako's comedic side. Emily Barlow, fresh off of filling in for Katie Griffin as Mars, did a great job with that part of Minako's character. She was hilarious.

Mamoru - Vincent Corazza (DiC/Cloverway). Rino Romano was good as Mamoru but not as Tuxedo Mask, while Toby Proctor sucked as both. While he's no Robbie Daymond, Vincent Corazza is still the first to actually do the voices for Mamoru and his alter-ego well.

Artemis - Ron Rubin (DiC/Cloverway). Ron Rubin took a long time to get this voice down, voicing him too deeply in his first two episodes and then too high and scratchy for most of the DiC dub afterwards. But by the movies and Cloverway, he'd settled into an appropriate sounding voice for the character, nailing both his even-tempered and his comedic moments.

Shingo - Julie Lemieux (DiC/Cloverway). Here it is: a rare case of an old dub voice being much better than the Viz dub counterpart. I have no idea why Nicolas Roye was cast by Viz, but it didn't work. Julie Lemieux's voice actually sounds like a young boy's and is fitting to hear coming out of Shingo's mouth, rather than endlessly distracting like hearing Roye's is.

Naru - Mary Long (DiC/Cloverway). "It's Mawwwwwly!" Look, take the memeable accent out of the equation and Mary Long still put on a sweet and earnest performance as Usagi's best friend. And while I normally prefer Danielle Judovits, Mary's acting in Nephrite's death scene absolutely puts her to shame. It truly sounds like a girl screaming and crying as her love dies.

Chibiusa - Stephanie Beard (Cloverway). It's Suga BayBee, do I need to explain more?

Queen Beryl - Naz Edwards (DiC). The only issue I have with Naz Edwards is that she often wasn't directed to keep her voice down when she should in a scene, but that's not her fault. That aside, she was incredible as Queen Beryl, giving a theatrical performance that is both amusingly camp when it needed to be and maliciously terrifying when it needed to be. I honestly think Viz lucked out, as Cindy Robinson is perhaps the only voice actress I know of who is capable of matching Naz vocally. It is very difficult for me to choose between them.

Jadeite - Tony Daniels (DiC). Kevin Lund could've been great as Nephrite but he sucked due to crappy direction, Kirsten Bishop was great as Zoisite but the gender was all wrong, and Denis Akayama was wildly inconsistent as Kunzite. Tony Daniels as Jadeite is the only one who got it down perfectly, with a suitably smug, sadistic, raspy voice that could also disguise itself whenever the character was disguising himself. I prefer Todd Haberkorn, especially since he can do equally well as Crystal's Jadeite, but Tony Daniels was still great.

Ail - Vincent Corazza (DiC). Look, Brian Beacock is more accurate to the Japanese voice and has a better script, but I just love Vincent Corazza's dorkier take. It's just so lovable!

En - Sabrina Grdevich (DiC). Look, Dorothy Fahn is more accurate to the Japanese voice and has a better script, but I just love Sabrina Gredvich's dorkier take. It's just so lovable!

Grandpa Hino - John Stocker (Cloverway). Another time an old dub voice surpassed Viz! Michael Sorich does great and all, but John Stocker is a perfect match to the Japanese voice and even looks a lot like the character in real life! It was a casting match made in Heaven.

Rubeus - Robert Tinkler (DiC). For a third time, the old dub surpasses the new dub. Steve Staley worked better for Rubeus in Crystal, whereas Robert Tinkler did a far better job embodying the far more monstrous version in the 90s anime, with a deep voice prone to bouts of unhinged laughter. He really made Rubeus a character that you loved to despise.

Esmeraude - Kirsten Bishop (DiC). This was Bishop's best role, IMO. She had already displayed a great cackling laugh as Zoisite, so her then playing Esmeraude was perfect.

Saphir - Lyon Smith (DiC). Not much to say here. He did good.

Demande - Robert Bockstael (DiC). Sexy but creepy voice is fittingly sexy but creepy.

Wiseman - Tony Daniels (DiC). Tony did as good a job as Wiseman as he did with Jadeite, which is why it's so frustrating that he kept getting hampered by needless vocal effects.

Professor Tomoe - Jeff Lumby (Cloverway). Jeff Lumby did an excellent job being hammy, sinister, intelligent and hilarious sounding. He was clearly having a total blast in this role.

Diana - Loretta Jafelice (Cloverway). Her high, squeaky voice was annoying, but perfect.

Fisheye - Deborah Drakeford (Cloverway). What is fascinating about Deborah's performance is that even as the fact was being censored for TV, she still voiced the character like a trans woman. There are several occasions where you can hear a masculine quality seep through even though it's a female voice actress. She deserves mad props for that.

Hawk's Eye - Benji Plener (Cloverway). He sounds a lot like Michael Yurchak, just slightly more posh, and something about his pink hair and outfit makes a posh tone fit him well.

Pegasus - Rowan Tichenor (Cloverway). Now hear me out on this last one - I am saying he was good as Pegasus. A soft, deep and dignified voice makes sense for him, and makes him more mysterious. The mistake came when they didn't cast someone else to voice Helios, as that voice coming out of him is more jarring than Nicolas Roye's voice coming out of Shingo!

Honorable Mention: The Amazoness Quartet. Their old dub voices were fine, but I can't say they qualify for this list since their Viz dub voices outperform them to an extreme degree.
