Agreed! The only one who could compare to him in wickedness is Pharaoh 90, but in Sailor Moon S he is just a great amount of black matter without voice. We can have a glance of his evil only in Sailor Moon Crystal.

Then it took two silver crystals to kill him. Doubling how crucial the climax was.

NeoQueen Serenity hated only one person. She didn't want to look at him. That's why we see Wiseman as a shadow in the hood.

I WILL agree the Wiseman was clever and very hateable. But I still pick Ann and Alan as my favorite villains. (I saw the DIC dub). First, they actually had a genuinely good motivation and weren't just evil for the sake of being evil. They had to get energy, or else they would DIE. And that whole point about "positive" energy is an great metaphor. Second, they actually CARED for one another. Most other season 1 and 2 villains don't give a DAM about eachother and just want to win. (And while the Dark-Moon sisters DO care for one another, they bicker WAY too much over their own egos. Sailor Moon is ALL filled with annoying arguments and stereotypes about beauty, but season R cranked it up to eleven!) Ann and Alan had a good balance of sweet moments in-between the bickering. Which is realistic for a couple. Contrast this to Rei, Luna, Serena, Rini, etc. who all bicker WAY too much, it becomes annoying. And they RARELY show any affection to counterbalance it. Oh, and there's also the oposite end of the spectrum, where you have Zoysite and Malekite (I think that's how it's spelled), who are a too-perfect couple and never fight. Ann and Alan achieved a balance that Sailor Moon NEVER got right before or since. But what REALLY makes them stand out is that they had secret identities too. They got to interact with the untransformed scouts during school and other stuff. That was SO cool! I wish Ann and Alan would stick for longer. Hell, I wish ALL villains would do this.

Just a minor correction: He said "Meet your fate!", not "Bite your face!"

@@SuperGoku14 that's right. My English wasn't so good when I commented the video. I only realized my error afterwards.

@@SuperGoku14 maybe wiseman had a very trouble past and he feels hurt, in my au, he was in love with a delicate and gentle space goddess, and later on, they had a daughter that looked like hotaru...

I actually liked DiC's dub a lot and i still like it today.

I remember it like i was still 6

Her laugh bothers me too, and I remember like when I was... however old I was first hearing that line too

Me too! He's definitely a bit more comedic in the DIC version

Same here lol

His delivery was perfect. DiC wasn't the best dubbing company but actor playing Wiseman nailed it!

100% agreed with you there.

@@vampireunicorn2271 Unlimited Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POWER!!! UNLIMITED POWER!!!

@@drixg555 Your Skills are No Match for The Power of The Dark-Side!!!!!

Toby Daniels should get an excellent review for being The doom phantom.

Same

@Otobi: I was just going to say that!

That voice was perfect! The DiC dub did a lot of things wrong but that was NOT one of them. The original soundtrack was also great too but his voice with whatever distortion they did was and continues to be one of the creepiest voices for a character I've ever heard.

@@JadenMoon1475 Jedite got his revenge for being the first commander eliminated and got the last laugh being the final baddie of the season

well he scared the crap out me as a kid..I wonder how felt about voicing this role

He was iconic! The best English Wiseman in my view.

Really?

TAMEREOPIRE Agreed ;) but ViZ just says 22 YEARS OF DIC'S MAGIC DESTROYED :(

You mean the original Megazord

There was a big gap between the first part of Sailor Moon R and the rest of it when it came to dubbing, "The Lost Episodes". Daniels may have just forgotten how he voiced him before and tried something different, or the Voice Director wanted him to try something new.

Great Star Wars Reference!!!!!

Me too

It's just too bad he had such boring lines.

@@ShadowSonic2 the Viz lines are not boring! They’re awesome.

@@dwainsimmons3447 They're boring. The problem with direct translation is that sometimes it results in REALLY awkward stilted dialog. Tony Daniels had a terrible script and made it work with how much effort he put into the rewritten dialog.

@@ShadowSonic2 but at the same time, the script in the old dub made it feel more cartoony.

@@dwainsimmons3447 Yes, but the dialog didn't sound stilted and awkward and the actors actually acted.

And terrible direction

@@dwainsimmons3447 that too

Actually my Power Ranger sense says that this is actually Darkonda

@FUCK GOD he had a bad script

@@decimatorentertainmentstud8523 It wasn't as boring as the Viz script was.

There were theories in the original DiC dub that Wiseman is Jadeite because they share the same voice actor.

it makes sense though

TwilightLink77 that sounds kinda lame to me. I don't really see the appeal of making a subordinate from a previous series into the next big enemy, plus all of the final enemies should be incarnations of Chaos, as the true malevolent force behind the events, so the idea seems a break from the narrative of the show. Then again, DiC always felt pretty separate from the show's actual storyline to me when I rewatched it a few years back.

Your Bro Tai I always took Wiseman, Metalia and Pharaoh 90 to be essentially constructs on chaos, and that that was why they were abnormal, like how Metalia was a formless swirl of energy and Wiseman was just a cloak over seemingly nothing, while Pharaoh 90 was like a planet of pure malevolence. I think Nehellenia was the poorest attempt as it tried to humanise chaos. I felt there were implications in the first 3 that they were linked by their own non-humanity, because they were in stark contrast to their humanoid subordinates.

No, it was still him. He just changed his vocal characterization thrice.

Neo-Xgray87 the thing is, there was many episodes between wiseman's first appearance and second appearance, plus his second appearance was part of the "lost episodes" a.k.a the last 17 eps of season 2 that aired a year after the fact. For whatever reason they started giving wiseman's voice some audio effect that they didn't give him on his first episode.

Oh! And Chibi-Moon was Cure Happy?!

But hardcore fans think that the DIC dub is forgettable and the Viz dub is legendary.

@@dwainsimmons3447 Hardcore fans started with DiC, as no way to watch Viz or Japanese in the 90s. 😂

@@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291 right

@@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291 just like TCPI Pokémon is so forgettable and hardcore fans started and watched the 4kids dub of Pokémon.

The Viz dub had this strange issue, good actors but a lot of the time they just sounded like they were reading lines instead of acting. The old dub, even if the voices didn't fit and lines weren't right, had actors ACTING.

@@ShadowSonic2 Gonna have to disagree with that. I'm not too terribly interested in elaborating but the main actors in Viz go above and beyond imo

@@Doomshroom8 Maybe it's just some of the other ones then, like Sailor Saturn. I hated that she had the right voice but stilted acting, while the Cloverway one had a voice that didn't really fit but was acted well.

Can you stop saying their Sailor Moon Crystal voices' first names please?

@@jacefiore6203 ???? Why?

You can thank the bad writing for that

The bad writing is what made it bad. Wiseman's voice distortion however was something I wish Viz tried a little harder to get across that this guy meant business. I love Steve's work, but they could have made it sound more demonic. Like how the Nine Tails in the Naruto dub sounded.
