I'm thinking the Phantom Data episode was just a preview, sorta like having a pokemon appear in a movie that's not in the current generation (Like the Manaphy film). While the episode seemed out of place, I think it's just the Gundalians probing Earth for weakness and we have yet to see the repercussions of Baron's screw-up (Aside from his inevitable getting kicked off the show).Hopefully NV will get a better finish. The problem is that a great deal of NV just pales in comparison to the original season. Too much stuff is getting recycled in this series to keep it interesting for me. I wouldn't mind a quick end, if you ask me.EDIT:
well, TBH, wouldn't you say that the good guy always wins is becoming a boring overused plot?about your point though, I guess some things are better off not answered, not being answered could let you create your own point of views on the subject, and who knows, maybe they will answer them in the next few episodes
That's a bit of a pre film school response. There is too much at stake for the good guys to truly "lose". If they truly lose, they die, all the Bakugan die, and it's series over. (In my opinion, the fact that the good guys lost and were then allowed to escape is even MORE contrived than if they had won). The good guys winning in the end is a foregone conclusion, but the process that shows them overcoming and defeating the problem to become victorious is what makes the story interesting. Sure a good-guy can always win if the story is written well enough that the adversity and triumph are believable.People who say that the characters need to lose every once in awhile don't know how to write well. Like I said, in a lot of stories a single loss can cost a character everything and the story would end. I feel that the kind of pressure that should have been in New Vestroia was severely and unforgivably downplayed, especially when Dan and the others were allowed to escape. Mylene used my words exactly and Zenoheld has clearly never read the list of things a Warlord should never do.It also seemed out of character for him. He blows Gus away with huge cannons and then lets his arch foes just waltz out without hindrance? WHA!?
