I'm just going to post this.

 

Ash did a lot of awesome stuff.  Probably more than this guy.

Cool picture. Liked the 2nd movie more than the 1st.

According the the movie’s writer, Lugia was supposed to be the god of creation, which would explain why he as above the other 3 birds. (The scene explaining this was cut in the English version; it described as the start of evolution.) Also, Lugia was supposed to be genderless, & the writer wanted a female voice actor, since creation is a motherly duty. He didn’t tell anyone on the production team about that tho, & he considered committing suicide when he heard they gave the character a male voice.

I’d argue there’d need to be something above Lugia tho; since he/she needed some sort of ritual to revive him/her. I think GameFreak’s come up with one or two other creation stories for the Pokemon world since then.

Back to the article... Ash didn’t win the league, but he wasn’t a failure either. He actually made it there; he lasted longer than Gary; he made good friends, etc. Maybe he aimed for the stars & hit the moon; that’s not bad, even if it’s short of the goal.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
