This isn't really villain related, but it does relate to people with bad qualities. I was watching the Rai version of "The Show Continues" (the episode with Musa's concert performance, "Magic in My Heart") and I noticed a scene with Brandon early on, about 4 1/2 minutes in. I really loved the 4kids version of Brandon, and thought he was a true sweet heart--romantic, a little corny, fully devoted, and still with his bit of arrogant pretty-boy persona that made him Brandon. But the Rai English version either took his arrogance and ran too far with it, or the original Italian dialogue was at fault. Either way, I was baffled when I saw Brandon with two girls (witches) hanging onto either side of him, and him practically asking for kisses from them. I know, people do act like this in real life, but the hopeless romantic in me just wanted to kick his butt so hard! I even went back to previous episodes to see if maybe there was a small fight between him and Stella that may have spurred this temporary flux in his devotion to her, but nope. He just randomly is shown trying to get more than just a flirt with two girls. Later in the episode when he is performing the fire dance with Sky he is thinking about a hot girl (the dressed up Stormy) who walked by him previously. Honestly not sure what the producers were trying to offer by doing that (other than to show he is human, blah), but it kind of ruins my opinion of Brandon the Hero. Now I latch onto the 4kids version, and I'm so glad they changed his personality so he wouldn't be the flirtatious jerk he apparently can be in the Rai English version. Even the comics, straight from Italy, show him being completely devoted to Stella (ex: Issue #24 Love Potion). Not to spoil it, but Brandon is shown (many times) trying to kindly tell an admirer that he doesn't want to hang out with a certain girl because he doesn't want to upset Stella. And he was very respectful about it =).
Arrgh, so disappointed in him. I just wanted to rant =P.
