History Headscratchers / YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries

* Why the "Dreamworks rips off Pixar" in episode 52? Dreamworks hasn't ripped off Pixar for years but the show treated its later releases like WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda and MonstersVsAliens as ripoffs.

** 4kids aren't the ones who take down LittleKuriboh's stuff all the time. It's almost always the people who own the rights to the ''Japaense'' series, not the dub.

** Yep. Seeing into the future won't do her much good if she never solves it in the first place. Like WebVideo/YRulerOfTime said on PrinceOfTennis: "I will now use my power to predict the result of this match! [''{{beat}}''] I predict that I will lose. Crap!"
** Layton is just THAT hard/

* Tea makes a comment about Tristan eventually getting his own episode as a robot monkey. How did she know the series was going to be cancelled and that would happen?

* Tristan, in one episode, asks what sex is. Joey and Tea refuse to tell him, because they "mustn't let Tristan breed." However, earlier in the series, he suggests that he and Tea have sex to foil Pegasus's need for a virgin sacrifice. He also, later in the series, seems to have a pretty good grasp of sex. Why does he not understand it for that single episode?

** Or he just wanted to hear Tea explain sex.

* Okay, I am ''very'' confused. Did Tea [[spoiler: get her body back in Episode 53 or is Marik now the one controlling her?]] I originally thought it was the latter, but I've heard people say it's the former.

* Did anyone else think the "I am a woman and I have no idea what I'm doing" joke was pretty unfair? It's pointed out that 4Kids changed Tea's line about using "women's intuition" into "I have no idea what I'm doing", but that seems like a change to make it ''more'' feminist. "Women's intuition" is basically a way of handwaving away women's intelligence by attributing it to some sort of instinct, which is pretty sexist. By contrast, one particular woman choosing which way to go completely at random seems much more progressive.

* When Tea is possessed by a Big Five member, the guy keeps his own voice. But when Tristan is posessed, the posessor gets a demon version of Tristan's voice. Why?

* During Yami Plays Fallout3, why does Yami keep using LiamNeeson's "I will find you.." speech from Taken? Neeson's had a lot more films since then, and he's played more memorable roles, so it's a bit of an odd choice.

* Did 4kids ignore the results of that Facebook vote about the 5D slogan? The tropes page doesn't say, but if they keep taking down Little Kuriboh's stuff I can't imagine they'd be willing to use one of the memes he generated.

* While Joey calling Ra/Mega Ultra Chicken [[Pokemon Moltres]] was funny, if LK is familiar enough with Pokemon to reference that one and the Kanto region, wouldn't he know that there are non-Kanto locations where Moltres can be found, like Mount Silver, Mount Ember, roaming Sinnoh... And now, the Ep.59 opening argues exactly otherwise.

** It went as far as stoping to be a joke and became Marik's actual personality, even for a comedy series, changing a character's personality just because you want to change the jokes is too far-fetched, in-universe, Marik's being a poorly closeted homosexual and other stuff is actually taken serious(much to Florence's chargin), or at least as serious as it can get.

** If we only regard the ''Abridged Series'' itself as canon, then Marik lives in a TransparentCloset. All additional videos support this (never contradict it), but how canon they are is debatable. The ''Evil Council'' videos emphasize the TransparentCloset, ''Bloodlines'' has him simply come out, an LK's very own fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6954805/1/Marik_Bakura_Go_To_Censored_Town Marik & Bakura Go To Censored Town]]'' ends with Marik's IfItsYouItsOkay attitude towards Bakura. So even if it's not Abridged canon, it's definately LK's head canon.

* Bakura is canonically gay ("I'm not British, I'm just gay.") but what's Marik's deal? Should we take his coming out speech in ''Marik plays Bloodlines'' seriously?

* In the BBT Abridged Movie, Yami says "Holy Rah". Isn´t Rah supposed to be called "Mega Ultra Chicken" in this version?

** Yep. Seeing into the future won't do her much good if she never solves it in the first place. Like [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Y Ruler Of Time]] said on PrinceOfTennis: "I will now use my power to predict the result of this match! [''{{beat}}''] I predict that I will lose. Crap!"

* During Yami Plays Fallout3, why does Yami keep using LiamNeeson's "I will find you.." speech from Taken? Neeson's had a lot more films since then, and he's played more memorable roles, so it's a bit of an odd choice.

** Mega Ultra Chicken is the curent day name of the monster, I mean, you don't think Slifer was called "The Executive Producer" in ancient Egypt, do you?

* In Pharaoh's Throne, when Yami summons the Egyptian gods, he calls out their names. So why in the hell did he use Ra? Nowhere else was Ra used for the actual God, which is named Mega Ultra Chicken in this series. Why did he change the name? Why did he use the name from the proper series? [[AdventuresofSonictheHedgehog WHY!? WHY!? WHHHYYYY!!?]]

* If Kaiba is really a robot built by [[DragonBallZ Frieza]] [[AncientEgypt thousands of years ago]], how come he has a childhood?

** Either way, he shouldn't insult Vegeta 3986 knowing full-well that he announced something years before it could come out, and let's not forget [[DragonballEvolution Project Revolution]]. "Coming Late 2010." Riiiiiiiight.
-->'''Tristan''': Idontbelieveyou!

* Duke's inability to explain why Dungeon Dice Monsters is completelly different from Duel Monsters, each game have it's own very distinct set of rules, not to mention DDM is fairly more luck based that DM, Duke only uses the same creatures from DM, which is actually a fairly smart marketing idea(as DM is already an obscenelly popular game) as long as the holder of the copyrights, who is most likelly Pegasus(not to mention, several monsters appear on ancient stone tablets and stuff, it is possible they are public domain characters), agreed with it, which he aparently did, so, [[MostAnnoyingSound tell]] [[CallBack me]], is there anything on it other that RuleOfFunny?
