March RantThat Wacky Tarantulas(A look at the Beast Wars Metals Episode 4) |
||||
|
The pre-episode "Remember to watch the show in a well-lit room at a good distance from the TV!"
message is voiced-over by Tarans/Tarantulas, who tells the Widdle Kiddies to be good and be sure
that they not sit too close to the TV when watching. Although his written message does not have
nearly as many cutesy hearts and such as, say, Megatron, he has a definite Mister Rogers quality
to his writing style.
Other notes:
In another "Why, Ghod? WHY?!" moment, Silverbolt is given such sad dialogue as "Flappy-flappy!" as he swoops down. He seems to swing from being an Earnest Young American Gentleman to being an innocent naif with the vocabulary of a five-year old. Incidentally, the whole American thing may be a result of the Japanese assumption that Americans (and, indeed, English-speakers) are more likely to be chivalrous and nice to the ladies. It certainly seems to be that way in this episode, with the Japanese-speaking Tarantulas willing to harm Blackarachnia, and the American/ furrin-talkin' Silverbolt unable to harm a lady.
Also, the silly little characters-transforming clips before and after commercials continue. The
highlight for this episode is probably Rhinox, whose voice-over says:
Quote of the Episode: Not Now, Dear. Wait 'til After the Briefing.
(Megatron finishes giving his orders.)
Oscar Moment: Tarantulas in his Shiny New Lair
Tarantulas: "Mwahaha! This is the ideal hideout! Now, if only I had a wife! 'Dearest, would you
like to take a nice hot bath now? Or perhaps you'd like dinner first? Oh darling husband, please
let me give you a massage.' Mwahahahahahaa!!!"
Random Observations:
The "Next Week, on Beast Wars!" bit is narrated by Dinobot, who declares that he's leaving. The
narration that goes on after the episode is officially over has him continuing to rant:
