Sailor Moon Princess and Prince's Love: Ill-Fated?

    After seeing what to me is an undetailed and unsatisfying flashback from the past, Endymion -- Mamoru's past self -- openly declares war against Sailormoon. He is aided by the Shitennou, including... Kunzite?

    First, onto that flashback: Endymion is suddenly slashed by a sword, which came out of nowhere no less. Serenity, in complete stupor, runs to Endymion's side. Whatever happened to the sword? It suddenly disappears? How unrealistic.

    Serenity's emotions in regards to Endymion's death triggers her inner powers. The Moon disappears behind the earth, which is now red. That's it? The planet blew up now? I certainly hope by "the planet", The Moon was being referred to. Earth is fine, unless Usagi and the others now live on Earth II, which is doubtful.

    I reckon it would be boring and overdone if the Live Action Series followed the exact same storyline as the anime, however.. Endymion declaring war to Serenity of his own free will? I don't see a valid reason for him to do this.

    In my opinion, Their love itself is far from ill-fated. What happened in the past was a flagrant proof of their strong bond.

    Furthermore, Usagi/Sailormoon/Princess Serenity/What-have-you's powers are triggered when her emotions are their strongest: As Rei stated, It happens even now. Episode 22 points this out; Who caused Usagi's powers to first awaken? Dark Mercury. Who first made Usagi's emotions reach their peak? Dark Mercury.

    This might mean the Princess herself is ill-fated. What was meant when they stated the Princess' powers were the same as Queen Metaria's?

    I actually really liked this episode, of course, full of flashbacks, it becomes very interesting. If you noticed before Mamoru/Endymion fought Kunzite, Mamoru said this "Kunzite. If you want revenge that badly, then go ahead and cut me down. But give me time. If I beat you in a sword duel, then you will help me for a bit." Kunzite laughs since he has always beaten Endymion with the sword. At the end, when they all appear in front of Sailormoon (minus the gone insane Nephrite who kicked my Motoki's butt ><) Kunzite is gripping his hurt left upper arm and looks very pissed. What do you think is going to happen next? Mamoru had already resolved to leave Beryl and screw the idea of the world blowing up due to his and Usagi's love, but then Kunzite came in.
    Well, that's what I think. I don't know about you, but I can't wait for episode 39!

    I suppose so, but I don't get how Kunzite would have changed things.

    Is it just me who is so pissed off that Usagi really isn't the 'Princess' but more like a vessel for the Jerk who was in the past life? She cares nothing for Usagi's friends, she keeps thinking of 'Endymion' but is now hurting Mamoru in the process. If the world is destroyed, there is no place for love. I wish that ***** had disappeared in episode 42. Get it through your thick skull girl! Leave Usagi alone! Usagi, get an exorcist if you can't kick her out yourself!

    I understand things more clearly now, What linked the Ginzuishou's powers to Metaria is Usagi's feelings of hate.

    Personally, now that I understand what's going on, I think it's a good thing. The Anime and Manga Usagis were portrayed as some kind of angels with a neverending compassion; They never got angry at an enemy, and always felt sorry for them.

    This Usagi is more human, because of her reactions. Just like everybody else, she makes mistakes. That's what's truly great about the Live Action series
