YMMV / The Jellax Saga

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Of the intentional variety, in regards to the Jellax and Jamanen.
  • Is Jamanen a kind, merciful, and loving mother who simply loves everybody and wants the best for them? Or is she a cold, calculating sociopath who appears loving so she can take over the world? Somewhere in-between? The canon supports the last one, but even then there's so much ambiguity that arguments can be made for any view.
  • What about the Jellax? Are they really a higher form of life trying to help the universe or a parasitic alien species that is slowly taking over humanity? Is the intended Jellaxification of all humans an ascension or an extinction-level event for humanity? What about the (almost) zealous attitudes the Jellax have towards conversion? Jamanen's influence? The nature of being a Jellax? Is being a Jellax so wonderful they just can't stop thinking about giving it to others?
  • How about the Guardians? Are they still the same Senshi we know and love? Have their old selves been completely wiped away? Somewhere in the middle?
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: A very mild example, but still (arguably) there. Due to the fact that the Resistance is constantly losing fights, the Jellax are nearly impervious to any and all damage, there is no known way to reverse the Jellaxification process, and that the Senshi have been enslaved, it really doesn't look like humanity will be able to stop the Jellax from winning the war. Moreover, as noted in some stories, the Jellax converting humans might be good for individuals, but collectively it's bringing a whole race, if not species, to extinction. Not bad if you happen to think the Jellax are totally in the right, but not very comforting if you're someone who's siding with the humans instead. Even the humans aren't always portrayed in the best light, as some stories have the Resistance jeopardize the safety of other people to merely stop the Jellax, never try to find a way to diplomatically discuss issues with Jamanen, and make claims about the Jellax that not only make them look purely bad, but can be seen as only somewhat plausible at best, outright lies at worst. Altogether, until Usagi returns, it not only looks like the Jellax will win but that they will be right about humanity.
