Talk:Rex Goodwin

Antagonist or not

I'm afraid I can't agree with this article part: "A seemingly cold and calculating man willing to sacrifice innocent lives in order to preserve his utopia, Godwin serves as the main antagonist"

He is a little bit weird, but why would he be the main antagonist when he is in fact a person who wants to stop the ressurection of the crimson dragon?

He's just a mixed character, both good and bad.

It would be too stupid to introduce the main antagonist in the very first episodes.

It's obvious he will try to help in the fight against evil, just like Chronos (Crowler) changed in GX.

You could describe the characters in every Y-G-O! saga like this:

The main character finds out his true "destiny", falls in love with a girl, has supporting friends, many enemies (The first one is the everlasting enemy like Jack, the second one is a wannabe enemy like Ushio, the third one is an enemy that appears in only one season, or returns later on, and the forth one is a pseudoenemy like Godwin, he turns good later)

To compare in GX: 1. enemy - Manyjome 2. enemy - Kaiser 3. enemy - Kagemaru, Saiyou etc. 4. enemy - Chronos

• Those you have listed serve more as rivals. Rex Godwin is the main antagonist so far because he antagonizes Yusei Fudo, the Protagonist. Godwin is probably a lot like Pegeses in a sense. But these are the classifications so far, there could indeed be a different antagonist who we have not seen yet. Dmaster (Contribs • Count) 14:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

• The perspectives of what constitutes a Pro- or Antagonist change as a series go on. When we see more info, the pages will be updated.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 15:18, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

• You forgot the 5th type, the constent or "ultimate", one who shows up sometimes in seasons but then disappears untill the next one untill the protaganist has to fight him in the final season. Yami Bakura and Nightshroud fill this catigory, but who will it be in 5Ds...? --Azure Knight-Zeo
  • Likely Divine. He's the pulling-the-strings type that's been more of a backseat antagonist, just like Nightshroud and Bakura. 70.138.163.94 02:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

• He is now listed as "other", which I agree with, but why are some people (such as Zigzix, who is more comical than anything else) listed as antagonists?--Qim1 23:17, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Voice Actor

It was listed on Wikipedia was pete zarustica or as he is also known, Oliver Wyman- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Zarustica. We should definitely keep maddie though.--Qim1 23:17, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

V-jump scan

Which issue had the scan with Yusei, Jack, Crow, and Rex on it? 24.99.52.57 03:06, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Signer or Dark Signer?

It has beed revealed that Yusei, Jack and Crow will duel Rex. And, in the English Opening, it has been revealed that Rex is the fifth Signer. but, it the battle between yusei, crow and jack vs rex, it is said that rex has an earthbound immortal, but Dark Signers are the only ones with Earthbound Gods, so, is rex really a Signer or a Dark signer, Rudger gave Rex his Signer arm, Rudger became a dark signer, so, who holds the dragon head birthmark?

Well preview info says that he posseses the powers from both. Mean having the arm with the birthmark somehow may found the to access its powers like in the Fortune Cup. As for Dark Signer he has the Condor dark mark so definitely one more of them. DracoX 06:25, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Name in navbox

His name in the navigation is Goodwin while it's Rudger's last name too. The navigation should be changed (Goodwin -> Rex) Diehard Guy 04:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah but most people just call him Goodwin and everyone calls Rudger by his first name. --Blackstone Dresden 23:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

respected people always get called by last name, for example: kaiba. his name is seto kaiba. and also pegasus and many others.

Spoiler image

This image on the front now is a HUGE spoiler. Consider switching it for the regular Goodwin, please. Danny Lilithborne 10:20, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Done... but it was switched back again. How long should it be before the image is not considered a hugh spoiler? -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe never. There are always newcomers, and this form of Rex is not who he originally or truly was. It should be exclusive to his Dark Signer section. Messengerofthedark 19:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)Messengerofthedark

Well on Carly's page, her main picture is her as a Dark Signer, even if she originally wasn't a Dark Signer at all so whats the difference? Rex is a better example of a Dark Signer anyway since most of his actions were antagonistic anyway. --Sky Scourge God 19:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think spoilers is something we shouldn't let it hold us back from making articles as good as they can be. People who don't want spoilers, should read this article at their own risk. Considering all the flashbacks we get in 5D's, spoilers could appear anywhere in a character's biography, meaning this page is not safe to look at for such people. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Well then there's no point in changing the image. --Sky Scourge God 20:25, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

So does anyone have any arguments in favour of not using the spoiler-esque image? -- Deltaneos (talk) 10:14, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, use the spoiler. If one scrolled down he'd probably see Rex being the Daedalus bridge guy, like that's not enough of a spoiler. Toob 10:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Since when does a pic has been like a huge spoiler anyway, mean maybe for someone who not updated with the series (mean those who only have been watching the dubbed version only), but still mostly whoever is on this webpage doubt to be possible. To be actually talking about spoiler is the preview info bieng posted weeks before an episode airs or other stuff like info to videogames or events. Not sure if a pic should be make a great deal out of. DracoX 19:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

My main argument against it is that the article is about Rex Goodwin, not Dark Signer Rex Goodwin. Rex Goodwin was only a Dark Signer late in the arc, and was exclusive to the end of the Dark Signer arc. He did not begin as a Dark Signer, but through progression of the show became one; at the pilot of the show he was a normal person. The only ones who are different from the previous, is that Rudger, Daniel Johnson, Kalin, entered the show as Dark Signers. So, to follow suit, Carly should not have her front pic as Dark Carly Signer, and should be treated as Goodwin is. Messengerofthedark 03:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Messengerofthedark

Wasn't the whole "Daniel Johnson" thing just silliness?

I'm kind of inclined to agree that we should go with their most recognised form, rather than most recent. That's similar to, but not necessarily their first look. e.g. Yusei with his criminal mark would be prefered over an image of him without it. I wasn't really in favour of Carly's being changed, but I didn't mind too much and more people seemed to want it that way. However, if enough people want to go back to using their most recognised form, I'll support them.

But if we are to stick with using the most recent, I don't think this should be avoided just for being a spoiler. Also now that Carly, Greiger, Kalin and Misty have returned to their old selves, shouldn't we use images of their non-Dark Signer forms in the ifnobox?

(I know this looks like I keep hoping from one side to the other) -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

As for Carly an Greiger, their infobox pic should be her original self. Misty and Kalin were introduced as Dark Signers and returned to being "human" fo a short period of time. All characters articles should progress. I would say put the Dark Signer pics of character Greiger, Carly, and Rex in their Dark Signer section of their respective articles, and put the "human" forms of Kalin and Misty in the part of their bio when they lose their duel against a signer, starting their page with their Dark Signer form. It would be similar to Zane's page, where his infobox pic is him in his Obelisk Blue uniform, and further down it shows him in his black uniform. Messengerofthedark 14:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Messengerofthedark

The question about using the non-Dark Signer images of Carly, Kalin, Greiger and Misty was only for if we are to continue using images of their most recent form. If we are to use their first or most recognised forms, it would be as you suggested. -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Now that he's no longer a Dark Signer, shall we chnage it back? -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:44, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I think we should, even if he didnt want to come back, Goodwin was back to its old self at its final time, like Rudger as well. Though the thing is too that as the other Dark Signers were revive back to their old lives thier pics should been changed. DracoX 18:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Deck Theme

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to label Rex's Deck as being an Inca Deck instead of a Nazca Deck. After all, everything to do with the Nazca Lines and such is Incan history, and it's not as though Rex is using a Deck which specifically relates to the Nazca lines or anything, he's just using stuff which relates to Incan history (for example, Azcatl, Inti, and Quilla). 92.13.9.17 22:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
