That REALLY was ome hard work, but I'm astounded that they removed such good scenes from the plot.--Tribun 05:09, 5 February 2012 (PST)

Mix-ups and captions[edit]

Some of these screenshots have been unnecessarily separated from the cutscenes in which they belong. The Third Dawn introduction should not be used as a source to reconstruct the sequence of events, as the videos have been re-edited from their original structure in U9. The "Another Nightmare" and "The Guardian's Eyes" sections aren't required, for the following reasons:

  • All screenshots showing Lord British's bedroom belong with the Shrine of Justice sending, as do those featuring the Guardian's eyes. The transitions between each of these scenes are even already shown here.
  • LB's throne room belongs with the imprisonment sending. The throne and purple banners can be seen fading into the prison scene, and it makes narrative sense given that LB is seated in both settings. No idea where/how the Guardian's hands pulling him down figure into it though.

Also, in the Pyros sending, the shots with the red hands appearing and dragging the Avatar beneath the ground should be removed. That part only appeared in the final game to have the cutscene make any kind of sense with regards to entering the Abyss; the hands are not present during the same shot in the heavy metal trailer.

One last thing: do all those image captions really need to be there? They kind of seem like overkill, and the tone of many of them is certainly not encyclopedic. --Terilem 22:18, 15 June 2012 (PDT)
