Episode 3: Recipe for Turnabout
- We begin with the judge laying down a sentence of guilty for someone poisoning someone else but the defendant protests and describes a man who looks like Phoenix Wright poisoning the guy. Winston Payne laughs at his success, taunting the defense attorney: Phoenix Wright.
- A month later, a lawyer review magazine (the most unrealistic idea in the whole series) calls Phoenix and amateur for his performance. Phoenix protests, saying that he doesnt remember a poisoning case last month. Someone heard about the famous Phoenix Wright and impersonated him.
- Oh, the defendant is Maggey from the second game, only now shes a waitress. I made this joke before, but Im going to recycle it like the game recycles sprites: I dont know how much of this series reusing characters is genuinely because it likes the characters and how much is because it already has the sprites ready.
- Maggey Byrde is awfully quick to celebrate the real Phoenix Wright showing up. For all she knows, Phoenix has two doppelgangers, and this is just the second evil one. Or maybe its the first one pretending to be the real Phoenix Wright again.
- Maggey says she was fired last year. Wrongful termination suit, anyone? But more importantly, in the second game, she specifically said she quit. Someone lied to us.
- You know, Id forgive Maggey not recognizing the back of Phoenixs head, even though that makes no sense in a real life context, except that the series has gone to great lengths to establish how unusual Phoenixs hair style is.
- Oh man, gay jokes, how I missed you, Japan. This guy is already in the running for most unpleasant witness since the circus. Hes also probably the killer.
- I notice how the old man directly complains about how the youth doesnt respect the old bushido values of Japan. To be honest, its true. People in LA really dont care about that.
- So was the pitch for this story Maya has to wear a waitress uniform for some reason?
- What is with the lecherous old man trope in Japanese media? I swear I see one in everything I play or watch from Japan.
