My complicated feelings towards Glitter Force

(Remember this is all my opinion please don't attack me)

So I wanted to talk about Glitter force a bit because I have a bit of a love hate relationship with it. So now that Glitter Force has been removed from Netflix and with absolutely no plans of renewing it at least at the time of this post I thought it was a good time to talk about it.

So lets go back in time to 2016. It was a dark and stormy night I was fresh into middle school I had transferred out of my shitty Catholic Elementary School and started public middle school.

I was bullied relentlessly in elementary school so I wasn't in a good headspace at the time.

Anyways I was mindlessly scrolling through Netflix when I came across Glitter Force, during this time I had gotten into Sailor moon and it looked similar so I clicked on it and watched the first few episodes.

I thought it was pretty good at the time and binged the whole season. Anyways because of that I would watch glitter force related videos on YouTube and then I came across an AMV (yes I was that kid😂) of New Stage I recognized Happy and Peace on the thumbnail next to two other girls (Melody and I think Muse) and wondered who they were as the title of the video was in Japanese, so I clicked on it and oh my God my little 11 year old mind was blown. It was awesome! and I wanted more of that content and I wanted to know more about the other girls. The I came across Azen Zone's reviews and fell in love with the franchise.

Anyways I didn't actually get to watch a pretty cure season in subs until I think Huggto on one of those free streaming sites and came across the Smile sub and Dear God was it leagues above Glitter Force because the dub was dog water compared to the original. And I was surprised that they had left a good amount of episodes out of the dub as well.

So I'm going to get into the gripes I have with GF/Doki Doki. In no way am I blaming the dub cast as I'm sure they had to work with what they were given but looking at the cast. GF and Doki Doki was stacked with really good actors.

The Cast:

Glitter Force:

Laura Bailey who played Cure Happy/Glitter Lucky

Colleen O'Shaughnessey played Cure Sunny/Glitter Sunny

Alex Cazares played Cure Peace/Glitter Peace

Danielle Judovits played Cure March/Glitter Spring

Kate Higgens played Cure Beauty/Glitter Breeze

Debi Derryberry played Candy

Todd Haberkorn played Pop

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn played Royal Queen/Queen Euphoria and Majorina/Brooha

Keith Silverstein played Wolfurun/Ulric Akaoni/Brute and Joker/Rascal

Glitter Force Doki Doki

Debi Derryberry played Cure Heart/Glitter Heart

Cassandra Lee Morris played Cure Diamond/Glitter Diamond

Melissa Fahn played Cure Rosetta/Glitter Clover

Stephanie Sheh played Cure Sword/Glitter Sword and Raquel

Erica Lindbeck played Cure Ace/Glitter Ace and Dabyi/Davi

Tara Sands played Sharuru/Kippy

Bryce Papenbrook played Lance

Ray Chase played Bel

Benjamin Disqen Ira

Carrie Keranen played Marmo

Cherami Leigh played Regina

Grant George played Joe Okada

Kirk Thornton played Sebastian

So the acting I don't mind at times, the name changes, don't mind that either, Pokemon was known for doing this back then all the way up until Ash's exit from the anime. There were also times where the scene would darken the mostly happened when the girls used their attacks I can see them doing this because they didn't want to cause any health risks and cause seizures so it didn't bother me too much. So what's the issue then?

One of the biggest issues I had when it came to Glitter force after watching the original was how much they changed. They removed a lot of episodes. For example Smile had 48 episodes and Glitter force removed 8 while Doki Doki had 49 episodes and Glitter force removed 19 episodes and even combined some of the episodes which kind of made them clunky. The episodes removed were the ones focused on culture and I guess you can use the excuse it by saying that they removed it so that they wouldn't confused kids but thats still a pretty bad excuse they also changed it so that Glitter force took place in the United States and that just seems a bit silly to me.

They also removed the episode about Yayoi's dad and understanding why she was named Yayoi which is concidered one of the best episodes in the season and I've seen some people say that it's one of the best in the francise. Another thing that annoyed me was that they removed the episode where Brian a student exchange student from America transfered into their class, this episode was about a language barrier between him and Akane so I can see why they didn't want to dub it but they end up still mentioning him in a later episode so if they didn't want to confuse the audiance they failed. I mean what they could have done is have him speak in a diffrent language and say he came from i don't know Spain instead of America. They did this in the Tokyo Mew mew dub but I digress.

They also removed the episode where the girls go and visit Miyuki's grandma which I don't really understand why. Another thing I did not like was the fact they seemed to try and remove any scene where the Cures are sad or tone it down unless there was no way to cut it out they even tried to make those scenes comedic as well which is just, Why? (Minor spoilers for Smile Precure) For example in the final episode of the season the girls they have to say goodbye to Candy and Pop as they have to go back to Marchland. In the original once they saw that Candy had already disapeared thats when they broke down crying.

Another thing that kind of bothered me as well as alot of other people is that the acting felt, flat at times. One of the most brought up scenes is when Majorina almost killed Nao's siblings when you compare both scenes it's just really jarring to watch. They even added voice lines that weren't in the original. I think the people handling the dub just didn't want to upset/scare kids or make their parents upset so they tried to tone down/cut the darker moments out of the show. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but kids can still enjoy a show even if theres darker moments.

I was also told that Glitter Force was homophobic but I never really understood where that came from. Maybe I just missed it? Idk

While Pretty Cure is about friendship and teamwork Smile was trying to show kids that you shouldn't give up and that sad things happen in life. This was because the year before japan suffered a really bad earthquake/tsunami which resulted in the deaths of Thousands of people. Smile Pretty Cure was made in order to comfort people who lost their homes or their loved ones. Glitter force while theres nothing wrong with this the producers seemed to be trying to push the message of friendship, teamwork while kind of neglecting the message of not giving up hope and I've seen alot of people think it's disrespectful concidering the circumstances and what led to Smile's creation

Anyways for as much as I criticize Glitter force and Glitter Force Doki Doki I have to admit that theres a chance without it I never would have discovered Pretty Cure as early as I did. And if you look at my blog you can tell I really love this franchise. And while it's kind of sad to see it go I think it's best that the trademark can finally rest after being in limbo for so long.

Would have been interesting to see what they did with the all stars movies tho

Obviously, no matter how many movies I add to the list, I know dozens of more films will be announced and released throughout the year. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is one of them. I didn’t know a thing about this flick, but it received the always interesting awards buzz, which turned it into a mandatory viewing before Christmas comes around. I went in knowing only one thing: this is Chadwick Boseman’s (Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War) last appearance after he passed away a few months ago. I really didn’t know what to expect from this Netflix’s Oscar-bait, but I was afraid that Boseman’s nomination chances were high only due to what happened in real-life instead of him truly deserving that recognition… Well, I can safely and confidently write that Boseman delivers his career-best interpretation, and it wouldn’t be unfair for him to get tons of awards posthumously. From an impeccable accent to his mind-blowing emotional range, passing through long monologues and uncut takes effortlessly, Boseman is the strong glue that holds everything in place. What seems, at first, a hangout movie (narrative without a clear central plot) turns into a character-study. Levee wants to follow his dreams, do what he does best in his own conditions and with his personal interpretation of music and soul. Boseman incorporates this character seamlessly, delivering a memorable performance that I hope will be remembered as a worthy Oscar winner if this situation ends up becoming true. Even though Boseman is the actor that shines brighter, every single one is absolutely outstanding. Viola Davis shares the main spotlight with him by representing the (real-life) iconic blues singer, Ma Rainey. To be completely honest, I didn’t know who this singer was nor how she impacted soul music. Ruben Santiago-Hudson first feature-film sc...

He is the reason she got kicked out of her house.

Arkadiusz Wyrzykowski - Business Associate of Gregory Chadwick - Married To Justyna Wyrzykowski - 29 - FC: Kristof Pituk

The pair were on a three year long mission in Poland to replace a politician with a choice pick from their organization’s lead, pretending to be married. They rarely got along when not in public, and Justyna pretended to be a maid at the estate they were planted at so she could still be around her then boyfriend. Arkadiusz and Gregory do not often see eye to eye, and now Gregory would prefer not to see him at all. Arkadiusz did not help his mental health for several reasons.

Carol maintains that she was the abused one, when she was just as much at fault as her ex-husband. She served him divorce papers after he went to prison, and the proceedings gave her her divorce and custody of Karen. She is somewhat close with Kevin and his kids,. A mouse of a man started dating her, only to give her an STD and leave when she started showing terminal symptoms. Kevin and Karen have been caring for her, though Karen only does it out of obligation to her brother.

Charlotte Chadwick - Wife of Jameson Chadwick - Mother of Gregory Chadwick - 47 - FC: Cate Blanchett

Charlotte always has to be the best at everything that she does, and has passed this on to her son in the form of making him a perfectionist. She is very controlling of her son, and has to make sure that he is the absolute best. Very often, her and her husband fight, because she is close with Mole’s mother. Their abuse stretches to Gregory, as well. Wine is her drink of choice, and Gregory is convinced she doesn’t drink anything else. She prefers Mole to her son, and refuses to accept that he is gay. Instead of trying to hook Gregory up with a Good Girl, she keeps trying to hook Mole up.

Christie McCormick - Wife of Kevin McCormick - Mother of Gil and Fauna McCormick - 29 - FC: Debi Mazar

Christie is Kevin’s wife, as she made herself “homeless” in order to avoid being served the divorce papers. She stays with her parents when not harassing Kevin and their children, and is waiting for the day he lays hands on her. She will physically and verbally abuse their children and has hit Kevin on more than one occasion. She has made false reports to CPS in hopes of getting the kids taken away from their good home and put into hers so she can “do God’s work” and end them. Kevin despises her.

Crofton Banks - Father of Pete Thelman - Ex-Boyfriend to Lily - 54 - FC: Lane Davies

Crofton is Pete’s father, and Lily’s ex-boyfriend. She was pregnant at 18, he was 24, and Crofton stayed with her and Pete until Pete was 3. He then couldn’t take lying to his family about why he wasn’t willing to marry Lily. He fled one night without a word, took a plane to New York, and never looked back. He left them with money for rent the next month, and to cover food and other expenses. He is a trust fund baby and never worked because he had to, but because he wanted to. He met his current fiancé while doing contracting for the mechanic he worked for.

Dennis Kennedy - Ghost; Lover to Arthur - Died in 2019 - 57 - FC: Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Dennis died of a brain aneurism at the age of 57, with no family in South Park and nobody to take care of his end-of-life expenses, he was taken care of by Father Maxi. He paid funeral costs and performed his funeral himself. Now, Dennis roams the graveyard, and has formed a very strong emotional relationship with Arthur, both in his proper timeline and in the current one he finds himself in. He’s usually in the graveyard, and so is Arthur, so they can spend time together. 

Filmore Anderson- Homoflexible Biromantic Polygamous Cis Male - 20 - FC: Aaron Bernards

With his familial ties to Rosie O’Donnel, Filmore managed to become something of a child actor. He worked in Hollywood, moving with his family, from first to eighth grade, and then moved back to South Park. His father was involvedin a scandal that killed his acting career. However, he wanted to stay in entertainment, and chose to be a Youtuber through the rest of school. He continues to do that and his music work on the side.

Jameson Chadwick - Husband to Charlotte - Father of Gregory Chadwick - 49 - FC: Daniel Craig

Jameson is a hard man to get along with. He is very business oriented and will not accept failure. His beliefs have also transferred to his son in a desperate attempt for approval. However, it is hard to gain, and he has never been very favorable of his son. He is very homophobic, due to thinking his wife is cheating on him with Mole’s mother. However, it could also be that he has had bisexual leanings in the past, and he refuses to accept that part of him.

Jeremy Smith - Father of Georgi and Firkle Smith - Husband to Marie - 42 - FC: Christopher Dennis

Jeremy can be rather cruel and neglectful to Firkle, but adores Georgi like they’ve never done anything wrong. While his abuse to Firkle was never physical, that didn’t stop Firkle from hating him. Georgi is not fond of their parents, either, because of how they treat Firkle. Marie is the one that pulls all the strings, and he just lets her take control.

Marie Denton-Smith - Mother of Georgi and Firkle Smith - Wife to Jeremy - 45 - FC: Maggie Gyllenhaal

Marie never wanted Firkle, only Georgi. When he came out sickly, she honestly hoped he’d die. And then, he just didn’t. She doesn’t care what he does, but when she’s at the house, she expects him to behave. He often doesn’t, and she has hit him and thrown things at him in the past. She is n’t afraid to hurt him and will do it especially if Georgi isn’t around to say something or know about it.

Mimsy Ellison - Asexual Homoromantic Unsure Cis Male - 25 - FC: Jake Sim

Mimsy is a very sweet man who is still rarely seen without Nathan. He does his best to help his longtime friend and semi-boyfriend, though he knows there are things he can’t help him with. They have a strictly romantic relationship. Mimsy enjoys working with his hands and does construction when he’s allowed to work, but for the most part is on disability. Woodworking is a hobby he is very proud of, as well as gardening. No matter who the person is, he is always ready and willing to help them. Despite Nathan’s allergy, he is quick to come home with stray cats that he finds, only to have to be told they cannot keep it.

Nor’Thollia “Thalia ” - Bound To and Caretaker of Firkle and Georgi Smith - VERSE DEPENDENT - Unknown AgeAppears 30+ - FC: Samantha Lemole

A demon summoned by a young Georgi after the purposeful death of her brother, Thalia took the lives of the Smith parents in order to resurrect and preserve Firkle’s. She took over as their caretaker and doctor, and keeps a close eye on Firkle. As much as she cares for Georgi, as well, she is overprotective of him and does not often let him out of her sight after his curfew.

Quaid Thomas - Closeted Bisexual Biromantic Mono/Polygamous Cis Male - 19 - FC: Darwin Gray

Quaid was always lost without Filmore to direct him, and the two remained friends while Filmore was filming early on in school. However, he didn’t have someone to follow in school, so he turned to befriending Ike. It kept his grades afloat, since Ike was so smart, and he managed to make Ike fairly popular. When Filmore returned, it was with open arms, and Quaid put him back at the top of their little group. They remained friends with Ike, however. Quaid is a follower and will do almost anything asked of him by Filmore. He has endlessly bullied Firkle since Kindergarten.

Sawyer Michaels - Stepfather to Pete Thelman - Affianced To Crofton - 37 - FC: Sean Kanan

Sawyer was born to a lower-middle class family that always had to work for whatever they had. His mother and father raised him and his four brothers on his mother’s grandfather’s land. The boys and their father took care of the land, the animals, and the upkeep, while their mother took care of taking eggs and milk from their respective producers. Family is and has always been very important to him, and he encourages Crofton very heavily to try and reconnect with Pete and fix their relationship.

Tuong Lu Kim - Owner and Proprietor of  City Wok, City Apartments, City Motel, City Airlines, City Skate Rink, and City Arcade - 45 - FC: Bai Hai Long

Mr. Kim has become a business tycoon in South Park, thanks to a man name Mr. Chaos. He owns several businesses and a few tracts of land just outside of the town, and a cattle farm that he didn’t slap his name on. He is a landlord, as well as an owner of entertainment and a food establishment, as well as a pilot. He keeps an iron fist on the town, not permitting a single Mongolian into the business sphere, and tries to get others to run any out of town. He will pay good money to anyone that gets rid of them, no matter if it’s making them leave or killing them.

UMA MENSAGEM PARA OS CRENTES OPRIMIDOS

David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

6 de abril de 2023

Hoje quero falar aos crentes que estão sobrecarregados com o acúmulo de aflições. Você não está sozinho. Nos salmos, Davi conta que quase foi esmagado por problemas insuportáveis. “Meu coração está severamente dolorido dentro de mim, e os terrores da morte caíram sobre mim. Temor e tremor se apoderaram de mim, e o horror me envolveu” (Salmos 55:4-5, NKJV).

Pesquise as escrituras e você não encontrará ninguém que fale mais do que Davi sobre confiar em Deus. Ninguém se abriu mais sobre buscar e esperar no Senhor por força em momentos de necessidade.

Porém, uma série de angústias profundas e dolorosas caiu sobre Davi que abalaram sua fé. Em um ponto baixo, ele gritou: “Todos os homens são mentirosos!” Ele estava falando de um lugar de dor esmagadora. Naquele momento ele estava cheio de desespero, e palavras de encorajamento por si só não estavam funcionando. Ele estava cedendo sob um ataque total à sua fé e estava procurando uma fuga. “Oh, se eu tivesse asas como uma pomba! Eu voaria para longe e estaria em repouso. Na verdade, eu vagaria para longe e ficaria no deserto” (Salmos 55:6-7).

Quando falo sobre estar sobrecarregado, sei do que falo. Em determinado momento de minha vida, nossa filha Debi acabara de ser operada de câncer, e nosso neto de 29 anos, Brandon, estava passando por quimioterapia para o estágio 4 do câncer. Davi estava certo quando escreveu: “Temor e tremor se apoderaram de mim”.

O que o filho crente de Deus faz nessas horas avassaladoras? Fazemos como Davi fez.

“Quanto a mim, invocarei a Deus, e o Senhor me salvará. De tarde, de manhã e ao meio-dia orarei e clamarei, e ele ouvirá a minha voz. Ele remiu em paz a minha alma da batalha que havia contra mim, porque havia muitos contra mim” (Salmos 55:16-18).

Vá para a oração e entre na presença do Senhor. Mesmo que o faça silenciosamente, grite sua dor e peça que a paz venha sobre você. Devemos fazer mais do que confiar. Devemos permanecer na Palavra de Deus e orar pelas promessas de volta a ele. Em todas as provações, minha família e eu caminhamos com fé e confiamos nas promessas de Deus. Ele é bom!
