Description
It took a couple days to get all of this together but I've got it! My Power Rangers Controversy Meme! For this Meme, I had to think things through about WHO & WHAT were my favorites & those that I disliked and I'll give my opinions on why they are. Anyway, let's get started!Favorite Ranger(s):
Tommy Oliver-I did enjoy the character of Tommy. And I liked the fact that he had different colors/powers throughout! But I think I liked him more in Zeo! (Hence Zeo Ranger 5 Red!)
Adam Park-I also liked the character of Adam, but I DO prefer him as Morphin Black! And though Once a Ranger was a failure, I really did like that Adam returned in it and became the Big One (JAKQ) to the Retro Rangers!
Kimberly Hart-She was pretty good as well. And she definitely got a good and dignified sendoff! She may not have gotten too much powers, but she was still Morphinominal!!
Kira Ford-I thought she was quite sexy and interesting myself! A singer & a Power Rangers Heroine! I also liked seeing her on the Retro Rangers!!
Tyzonn-While Operation Overdrive is hated by many, I still liked Tyzonn! But I especially loved that he was 3 characters in one! Ragi for his monster form, Akashi Satoru for him being captain to a team he lost long ago, And Takaoka Eiji for the rest of him!
Sir Ivan of Zandar-Though he may not have the same kind of jacket as Utsusemimaru, I still see great promise in this Sixth Ranger! Plus, he's a bit of a ham to boot! Makes for amusing moments!
Honorable Mention: Cestro-I think I find Cestro to be the more interesting of the Alien Rangers
Least Favorite Ranger(s):
Troy Burrows-This is what I have to say to him about him: "Troy Burrows, You are the Worst person in the Power Rangers Universe I have EVER come to know." I'd say more, but I don't want to cause anything worse. But yes, Troy keeps pushing his weight around with the team!
The Jungle Fury Rangers sans Dominic-I'm sure Jungle Fury had a better team of Rangers than OO but I really don't like Lilly, Casey, Theo OR R.J.! (Or as I call them: Doormat, Whiner, Dolt & Hypocrite!) I was really hoping that Lilly could have been leader like her Sentai Counterpart but she's just a pushover that lets EVERYONE push her around! Casey while better than Troy is just a whiner who barely smiles and sticks out like a sore thumb! Also, Cole Evans may be a Blockhead, but at least HE wouldn't tell a kid that he's evil & an enemy to the Power Rangers for stealing something small! Just imagine if Casey did that to Kite, you know: ANIMUS! Even if he's Master & Red Ranger, I am NOT kissing his...well you know. And Theo IS a creepy, unattractive dolt who seriously needs to be slugged! And what do I mean when I call R.J. a Hypocrite? Well, he's supposed to be an Animals Rights person but his restaurant has Chicken Wings & he eats meat! I don't know of any AR guys that would like meat! Funny thing is, I Actually wished that he could have been an actual Vegetarian on the show! Also, I'm almost positive that he commanded the team to protect ALL life but he instructs Casey to get the Crystal Eyes at any cost (ie: sacrifice an innocent!) To me, Dom was like the ONLY normal character on the team!
Orion-For being a filthy liar on so many things. Revenge, The Armada's end & Andresia having life!
Gem & Gemma-I consider them to be abominations to their Sentai Counterparts! And the whole finishing each others' sentences? It's only fun when Tomax & Xamot do it! Also, they ARE rather Ugly looking.
Katie Walker-Compared to her Timeranger Counterpart Domon, she really is NOT interesting to me! Also, if her enhanced strength truly makes her unbeatable, you can be sure that alot of people would stop playing with her eventually! I'm sure that I would myself!
Dishonorable Mention: Jack Landors-There's nothing to say about Jack. He is quite possibly the biggest Traitor to the Power Rangers! He abandons his own teammates all just to be with a woman he met for like 2 minutes and that helping out the homeless and NOT the Famine Stricken across the world is the most important thing in the world! He didn't even WANT to be a Ranger! All it shows is that he is not fit! He is not worthy! And despite the cause he's going for, it will STILL end badly for him! (If he were smart, he would have opted for Homeless Shelters!!) To Quote him: "You pay the price for the Choices YOU make!"
Favorite Weapon(s):
Power Blaster-I DO like it's design!
Vortex Blaster-The individual cannons are HUGE!
Titanium Laser-That is totally a Tomahawk! If the Titanium Ranger could have been in GogoV, he should be called GoPlatinum! And his weapon would be called PlatinaTomahawk!
OO Zip Shooter-Not counting the Rescue Lasers, these mini flares could actually be wielded by the Rangers in Civilian form! And I just like how that name sounds: Double O Zip Shooter!
Ninja Swords-The Handy Dandy Katanas that doubled as Rifles!!
Blade Blasters-Or I prefer: The Power Gunsword!
Honorable Mention: Bullzooka-Probably the only Bazooka in PR to keep part of its name!
Least Favorite Weapon(s):
Thunder Slingers-Because of how totally pointless they were in MMPR! I don't really know WHY they kept omiting them from the rest of the First Season!
Deltamax Weapons-They don't really look THAT cool to me. (The American toy is even worse!)
Z-Rex Blaster-Even in Super Mode, it DOES still look pretty ugly.
Zeo Blaster-It's kind of dinky looking for a powerful blaster.
Jungle Blaster Weapons-While cool looking, the Jungle Blaster WAS still kind of pointless. But the individual weapons suffer more as they never really got to properly be utilized!
Dino Spike-I didn't really like how it looked in Kyoryuger and I still don't like it here. But I DO like that it could be in different combinations!
Dishonorable Mention: Sword of Power-Also kind of Pointless.
Favorite Season(s):
Power Rangers Lost Galaxy-It was a great series! Despite some errors & problems, I still enjoyed it and some of the characters!
Power Rangers Zeo-This show was also terrific! I even consider the rangers to be a Pseudo International team! And the Gang War between the Machine Empire and the Moon Palace Gang was also fun! I also liked the Gold Ranger Red Herrings moments with Skull among them!
Power Rangers in Space-Even with less than glorious effects of outer space & the Saban Ninja Turtles, this was still a pretty good way to wrap things up with the various enemies! And I liked seeing the Sentai footage used for it!
Power Rangers Dino Thunder-A good series that is worth watching. And I really liked Lost and Found in Translation! So much so that I wish that other series after DT could have done that like SPD & even Jungle Fury!
Power Rangers Ninja Storm-When I watched it, I really enjoyed it...and still do! Though I often like to see it as a cross between Zyuranger & Carranger! This series was ALSO fairly International for even a New Zealand series!
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season 3-NOT counting the A Friend in Need 3 part premiere, this was still a very interesting season of Mighty Morphin'! The Bad Guys taking on a far more proactive roll and I'm glad they used Master Vile for Rita's father! And the Alien Rangers mini series was still fun! Especially when Alien Rangers is sung in the theme!
Power Rangers Dino Super Charge-The Bad News is: its timeline may have scarred Power Rangers for life! The Good News is: it's more complete than Super Megaforce as it has both holiday specials! And I was quite surprised that their Christmas clipsode took place After its finale! And I still liked its finale better than Kyoryuger's! Also Super Megaforce's! The only Real thing I was disappointed with was....No Heckyl in Here Comes Heximas!
Power Rangers Dino Charge-After Jungle Fury, I had stopped watching Power Rangers. But after seeing the first few episodes of Dino Charge, I became interested in it anew! And I gotta say: This is WAY better than Megaforce & Super Megaforce! I also liked that they actually made their last episode a proper finale with the team going their separate ways!
Honorable Mention: Power Rangers Operation Overdrive-I know that Operation Overdrive is an extremely hated season of Power Rangers and I GET why people hate it, But I still liked it for all the little things in it! How in the 1st part of the premiere that all 5 (COUNT 'EM 5!) Rangers were morphed, present and accounted for. How Transtek Armor could be used by ANY of the Rangers. The choice for the Retro Rangers including Bridge as the new SPD Red Ranger. The gender bending of Boukenger's Ouga as the Female Fearcat Crazar even Americanizing Bouken Red Lucky (Courageous) Mode the way they did! (For me, Out of Luck represented the more lighthearted, humorous misadventures in the world of Power Rangers!)
Least Favorite Season(s):
Power Rangers Super Megaforce-The way they attempted to celebrate 20 years of the Power Rangers could not be more mangled than this! To me, Super Megaforce is a TRAVESTY unto Gokaiger & Power Rangers and a threat to the Real World!!
Power Rangers Megaforce-This was just as horribly written as its sequel. But what's worse is that it keeps branding everybody as MMPR copycats! You know, calling a complete stranger Ernie when he's NOT Ernie, Gosei (NOT MASTER HEAD) into a Zordon Knockoff with Tensou NOT Alpha 5 and so on! But Robo Knight DOES still have a decent voice. Also, I don't forgive them for omitting Datas Hyper like that! What's so bad about that!?
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (re-version)-All they did was rerelease 32 of the original MMPR season and added idiotic effects for a cheap appeal! At first, I thought it was just Power Rangers with that Space Cube from Generation 2 but on close inspection, they're just ripping off Rocket Power!! Not helped is that they didn't even bother to make a proper 32 season by cutting out episodes and having Doomsday Parts 1 & 2 be eps 31 & 32! That really could have helped it out!
Power Rangers Samurai-Something that I said was common in the PR Universe was that the team of rangers would more often than not be on a kind of mental condition. (Brainwash) But it seems that Samurai takes THAT aspect and plays it straight! The Rangers (Who have absolutely 0 Japanese Ancestry) have NO choice in their lives! And Bulk & Spike were still pretty pointless in it as the rangers don't even acknowledge them much! The child actors were pretty horrible at best. Really just for Young Jayden & Antonio! And they SHOULD have aired the TRUE first 2 episodes before The Team Unites!
Power Rangers Super Samurai-Perhaps Serator WAS better than his Sentai Counterpart & Bulk & Spike finally got to properly interact with the rangers, but it's still not enough to make it perfect. Even one-off children are practically slaves to something that's NOT their duty on! And all that hate for Poor Laren and all that fawning over Jayden. Unacceptable! I just hope that Laren didn't commit Suicide off screen after all this. And I DO believe it WAS still better in Shinkenger on Red's secret! Also Clash of the Red Rangers was still terrible. I mean come on! Who ever heard of anything called "Hypno Bolts!?"
Power Rangers Jungle Fury-Alot of people really went for Jungle Fury & love it but I on the other hand did NOT! I really didn't like how it's premiere went and there WAS inconsistent writing now and again! I also hate it for being quite sexist! 8 rangers with only 1 among them a female! I'm just glad that the other masters didn't start working at JKP. Too many questions would arise with them. Anyway, I'll always prefer Gekiranger over Jungle Fury! But I think I could have done Jungle Fury better than this! It should have started with Jarrod, Theo & Lilly with Casey working at Jungle Karma Pizza because it's bad writing when you have 1 person running a whole Pizza Restaurant all by himself! Casey didn't know his boss was a Pai Zhua Master and wants in on the action much to the chagrin of Theo! And Dai Shi should have resided in a Dragon Bust like Monolith that infuses Jarrod with his power corrupting him! But later, Jarrod becomes strong enough to resist the influence and would be on the side of evil Undercover! Also, if you really want to have Casey care about Whiger, then there should have been a short scene of Whiger getting a puppy off a road with Casey being the only one to witness it! The Clipshow Don't Blow That Dough SHOULD have been between Ghost of a Chance 2 & Bad to the Bone but be altered to take off where the former ended. With Grizzaka being foreshadowed! And I think THAT would have worked in favor for that writers strike! And there still should have been a teamup with Operation Overdrive that has Miratrix become a Rinshi Beast!
Power Rangers Turbo-It's quite clear that the original Sentai of this Carranger is far more superior than Turbo! I like Divatox's look but she really is a spazz! But I really dislike Carol Hoyt's portrayal of Divatox! It just wasn't my Divatox! I know what they were getting at with Justin but it seems that it just didn't fly with fans.
Dishonorable Mention: Power Rangers RPM-I'm sure it was an awesome series, but the theme song is horrible! (SUNG Horribly.) And so was their world! Even with such a victory, there is still nothing to be gained from all this! And I thought Tenaya didn't belong on a show that used goofy Go-Onger Monsters! (She along with Dillon Really should have been on Bruce Kalish's other show Aron Stone!) And there WAS too much shaky Camera movement! But after seeing Gobusters, I REALLY wish they could have adapted it into a full blown sequel to RPM! If only to try and give some kind of closure on a ruined universe! And though I don't think highly of Scott Truman, I REALLY would like to see him as Kurorin!
Favorite Morpher(s):
All the Morphers of In Space & Ninja Storm
Dino Charge Morpher-A Morpher that YOU can fire at will!
Honorable Mention: None
Least Favorite Morpher(s):
All the Morphers of Jungle Fury, RPM & Samurai-I considered the Solar Morphers to be sacrilege over the Geki Changers. But now looking back on how Gekiranger WAS Sport Themed as well as Chinese Martial Arts Theme, I'm thinking MAYBE the Solar Morphers should have been for Gekiranger! Irony at its best. Also a crime unto Sentai was taking away that Sushi aspect of Gold's morpher! RPM's Morphers didn't look THAT great to me.
Dishonorable Mention: None
Favorite Villain(s)
Deviot-A thousand time over, I REEEAAAAALLLLLYYYYY like Deviot! And I also like how he's a Power Hungry Traitor that only serves those for His own needs! But there's more than just that. I also wished that he was in PRIS as the one to put into Astronema's head to dispose of Dark Spectre and helped create the Psycho Rangers! With Deviot being on Astronema's team, it would also explain why Darkonda is suddenly back on her team as she lets Deviot go with him swearing vengeance and getting back what's rightfully his!
Finster-When I first saw Finster, I took a liking to him that still is there! The very first Monster Maker of the franchise! But it's just too bad that he NEVER got a proper interaction with the rangers!
Trakeena-She was an interesting kind of baddie. And was basically Shelinda in a full outfit! Wasn't that great of a warrior at first but thanks to Vilamax's training, she stepped up to plate and took over her late father's empire! But speaking of, I never really considered Scorpius an Alien Warlord rather an Alien Mobster! And I love the sound of Don Scorpius! And I do think Don Trakeena would roll off the tongue! She'd definitely make sure it would!
Olympius-I also liked his design especially his final full Dragon Form! Still, I myself would have really like to see him Trakeena team up for realz and fight the Wild Force Rangers!
Frax-While I probably prefer his Timeranger counterpart Gien a little more as he's killing for the evulz, I DO still like how Frax's synthesized voice sounds. I'd also like to see him get reconstructed and battle the Wild Force Rangers! (Cole even tries to reach Frax's Human Heart but Frax interjects: "You can't have a Heart to Heart with a Robot!")
Mesogog-He was a pretty intimidating villain in Dino Thunder. And I like to call him: If Dairanger's Shadam & Megaranger's Hinelar could have a baby! Because he really reminds me of those two Sentai Villains! For his Mesomonster form, I do wish Conner could have used Dragon Yo-Yo on him with him deflecting it back to Conner on the third strike!
Moltor-Though many see Flurious & his brother Moltor to be Power Ranger versions of Snow & Heat Miser, I prefer to consider them to be Dezzle & Raija of B-Fighter Kabuto! I also liked his design as well! I even wanted to get that very figure of him but never got the chance to.Even if Operation Overdrive sucked to fans, Super Megaforce STILL should have used Gokaiger 21 footage for a return of Moltor! I would have like to have seen that! Though I like how Moltor's voice sounds, I would have liked it even more if he were voiced by Steve Kramer! (His voice would sound much closer to Moltor than David Lodge!)
Deker-Though I never really watched Samurai, I DID like that Deker was portrayed by Ricardo Medina Jr!
Honorable Mention: Camile (If she can count as a villain)-While I prefer Gekiranger over Jungle Fury, I DID still like how Chineselicious Camile's outfit looked! But I don't approve of them completely replacing the Chameleon eyes of her Rinshi Beast form! They couldn't even paint them to look closer to the Sentai version!
Least Favorite Villain(s):
Jarrod/Dai Shi-There's much to be explained about why I have a problem with Jarrod. Even if Carnosaur (Not Dai Shi) altered Jarrod's past, he STILL had a bit of a choice in his present! He chose to harass those at Pai Zhua, he chose to assault Master Mao and he CHOSE to run away with his tail between his legs like the big chicken faced coward that he is! To say that EVERYTHING that went bad in your life because of Dai Shi doesn't really make Jarrod look good, it makes him look even worse than he is! Jarrod is as much to blame as Dai Shi for he himself brought it on to himself! Plus, the whole Dai Shi possessing Jarrod aspect really didn't make that much sense as things contradict now and again! And if Pai Zhua's word is truly law and that they DO frown over defending oneself, then Jarrod really shouldn't be seen at Pai Zhua OR be forgiven for High Treason! And I like to think that Jarrod along with Camile were card contained offcamera! (Hence why they NEVER reappear again!) But if there could have been an RPM/Jungle Fury teamup, then I would have at least gone for him & Camile coming in with a jumpkick and Fighting alongside Gem & Gemma!
Jelica-Jelica is no better than Orion as she's also a big fat liar! And I even think that whatever compliments she gave to Camile she NEVER actually meant ANY of it! And How Dare SHE accuse her own boss of betraying her?!? That being said, perhaps Jelica really SHOULD have been a Pathological Liar! With every word that comes from her mouth? (However she talks.) is nothing but a whopper every time!
Xandred-For being a Lazy Slimeball who's pretty stupid not to remember what he does to traitors!
Toxic Mutants-Their existence is utterly pointless and their stupid mission is contradictory!
Ransik-While he Is an interesting looking villain, I dislike Ransik for being an abusive stepfather figure to Frax! As well as if people really did try to help him then Ransik really isn't an actual sympathetic villain.
Emperor Mavro-Not only does he have less screentime than even Ackdos Gill, but his voice is HORRIBLE! It doesn't help that his voice is supposed to be the one who did Mirloc of SPD.
Damaras-He's on my list for being an Adaptational Wimp compared to his Gokaiger Counterpart! It took 2 Rising Strikes to make Gokaiger Damaras go boom! Not to mention using all the Main Legend Mecha on him!
Dishonorable Mention: Mandilok-He/She really was NOT a great villain. They never even got to fight the rangers in their Megazords!
Favorite Battlizer:
SPD Battlizer (Sonic Mode)-I really do like how this Battlizer looks. Or rather, I like its actual final form that's over the Cyber Diaper! It looks good with R.I.C. on it. I'm glad that it even got to be used in Super Sentai.
Tri-Battlized Armor-This was also an interesting looking Battlizer that granted flight along with strength. And it even has abs!
T-Rex Super Charge Red Ranger-It's really more a Battlizer when it utilizes the smaller Dino Chargers. And it WAS impressive the way they altered the sequence to omit the Carnival aspect for Dino Super Charge.
Shogun Mode-While I don't like Samurai, THIS is something that I DO still like how it looks. Despite the fact that it was really mostly for Cockpit scenes! But this is still something that I wish could have been in Shinkenger!!
Honorable Mention: Triassic Battlizer-It really IS the goofiest of the Battlizers with its Stretch Arms!
Least Favorite Battlizer:
Strike Rider-I am well aware that the Strike Rider is NOT an actual Battlizer but I have it on here to try and prove a point: I think it to be a really bad and inbred lovechild of the Red Capsular Cycle of Lost Galaxy & the Transarmor Cycle of Lightspeed Rescue! Capsular for its finisher & Transarmor for the armor that's a part of it somewhat. The real worst part about it is that Casey keeps wasting it on the Footsoliders!! If there could have been a JF/OO teamup, I would have LOVED it if Casey could use it on a Giant Rinshi Beast Miratrix! (Really just Desperado from Boukenger!) And I like to think that the footage along with some editing COULD make it work!
Red Dragon Fire Ranger-Don't get me wrong, I really do like the design of the Dragon Fire Heart. (Like R.I.C. laced with Mandora Boy.) But I DO think that Red Dragon Fire Ranger's look has quite a bit to be desired.
Red Armored Ranger-The grey really doesn't work that great on him and he's wearing oversized shoes to boot! `No pun intended.
Red Battlized Armor-This was the Battlizer that kickstarted the whole Battlizer tradition. Sadly, it also doesn't look too good. But it DID get used enough times I guess.
Dishonorable Mention: Red Savage Warrior-Wish I could say the same for this underutilized Battlizer! There's really isn't too much on it to be impressive enough.
Favorite Comic Relief:
Bulk & Skull-I guess I don't have too many favorite comic relief in Power Rangers. So I might as well opt for Farkas Bulkmeier & his counterpart & all around pal & chum Eugene Skullovitch. Better known to all as Bulk & Skull! It's just a shame that for the most part they aren't taken more seriously than this. Also, if Jetman could have been adapted into a Power Rangers Series, then I'd want Bulk to be Yellow Owl & Skull Black Condor!! That or have for Season 2 let the two find out the rangers' identities and grow into secret keepers to them! Though I still wish that Paul Schrier's niece (Who really isn't his niece.) from that Message from the Power Rangers about Actors be on Season 2 as Bulk's little sister! Despite him being a bumbling bully, he would be a rather doting big brother to his sis! She even takes a liking to Skull! But that's just what I want.
Honorable Mention: Rito Revolto-I suppose?
Least Favorite Comic Relief:
Gluto-He is completely worthless! He doesn't do much of anything! Time Force could have at least used a little more Timeranger footage of Dolnero fighting the rangers for Gluto! Plus, even Chubo fights more than this guy!
Flit the Fly-Sometimes, he really is never around when people really need him! Like when R.J. was fighting Dai Shi in a ring fight. That & disappearing after One Last Final Chance and not coming back until near the end of Now the Final Fury! Also for "True Friends, True Spirits", I really wish that there could have been a scene of Flit bumping into Norg the Yeti from Operation Overdrive! Why? So that Kelson Henderson could be talking to himself!! Norg is with the Hartfords visiting Ocean Bluff and helping them with their shopping! And yes, he tried the Thrilla Gorilla Pizza at Jungle Karma Pizza! In fact, HE'S the one to help give Flit directions to it!
Mr Burley-How can such a superfluous character be the ONLY teacher in one whole High School?!? I'm pretty sure there's a least some kind of law that states that there should be MORE staff members running a school! Also, I don't really think he interacts with the baddies on their show! I just don't bother with Megaforce period.
General Crunch-Like Gluto, he is also useless! But I suppose he DOES fight a little more than Gluto. Despite that, like Burley, he's also superfluous! Shifter as well.
Curio-He is for the most part a screwup and annoying deadweight for Sledge & Snide.
Dishonorable Mention: Spike-Though his heart's in the right place, he is still kind of annoying at times. And his love of Gia goes nowhere.
Favorite Episode:
The Fate of Lightspeed-This finale for LR was all over the place! Bad Guys taking over the Aquabase & Megazords, The Skull Cavern in American Footage, Return of the Titanium Ranger and Diabolico repays Bansheera back for her treatment! I've also always considered Diabolico to be like the Piccolo of Power Rangers! Would also like it if Cole could meet and grasp hands with him!
Reflection-This was a really nice and inspirational 2-parter! In fact it was SO great that I really wished I could have taped it long ago! (This was when I still had a VCR.) But nowadays, I Do still enjoy seeing it for how wacky Slate is, The Replica Troobian Criminals with Morgana, Mirloc being Mirloc and Sky actually morphing into the Red Ranger!
Countdown to Destruction-This was a very exciting 2-parter with the fate of the universe at stake! Various monsters & villains striking other worlds including Earth with many of its people (And Bulk,Skull & the others) standing up to the enemy footsoldiers to help the rangers out! But all good things must come to an end as Andros must make the ultimate sacrifice and destroy Zordon to bring all evil to an end!
Jouney's End-For being the most expensive season of Power Rangers, it's only fitting that it goes out with a Bang!! Deviot merges with Trakeena and corrupts her very mind as she turns her entire Stingwinger Army into Suicide Bombers to destroy any & everything they can touch! Vilamax having had enough of all this takes a stand against his pupil but falls saving the people's lives. The Megaship soon gets sacrificed here and Trakeena transforms into her True & Final form heading on a collision course with Mirinoi with the rangers making a final stand against her!
Rangers of Two Worlds-This was for the most part the very first teamup with a previous team of rangers. While Ole vs Kakuranger couldn't really work out because of continuity, in Zeo, it works for it here! Especially if it's a bit of a gang war between the Moon Palace Gang & the Machine Empire with their latest monsters! Meanwhile, Billy grows old as a result of delayed time whatever and has to bid farewell to his teammates & Earth (Hopefully, he DOES tell his folks about all this!) to recover! During this 2-parter, the faction's monsters take control of the Rangers' Megazords and duke it out further! Now more than ever, the Zeo Rangers will need the aid of the Aquitian Rangers!
Honorable Mention: Master Vile and the Metallic Armor-This was also a pretty fun 3-parter. Rita & Rito's father Master Vile comes to Earth with an unstoppable monster and a plan to get the next season's power! What I especially love in this one is Master Vile & the Moon Palace Gang touching down at Ernie's with Ernie, Bulk & Skull coming face to face with the fiends and forced to attend an End of the World Party there with the other monsters dropping in!
Least Favorite Episode:
Alarmed & Dangerous-As far as Bad Turbo episodes go, this is something that really should have an Live Action Atrocities Page! It seems to be a proper mean spirited kind of episode for Justin! And it's true really. Everyone who isn't Justin IS portrayed as Stupid! And Catherine is no exception here. She clearly doesn't have a clue here and such advise for bullies that could very well KILL Justin will never work in here. And unlike Catherine, I live in the Real World! But I did like its working title: A Cause for Alarm.
Trakeena's Revenge-Know how bad this one is? It's SO bad that I don't consider it canon with Power Rangers anymore! And by the way, it's NOT just the Old Lady who doesn't believe in monsters that ruined things! She was only Part of the problem as it really does look like a preschool episode even for Lightspeed Rescue. This is something that Should be for Wild Force! Not Lightspeed Rescue! And GogoV vs Gingaman was WAY better than this!
Wired-I thought this 2-parter was very unnecessary. I know what they were going for with the message on prejudice, but it really doesn't work that great with robots &/or cyborgs. They don't even know the difference between androids, cyborgs or computers! And even if the B-Squad were prejudice, I'm sure that they were only being prejudice because Cruger commanded them to be prejudice with his orders and regulations!! They WERE after all following orders that they were constantly threatened with. But also, they actually kicked S.O.P.H.I.E. out because she lied to them for years and never bothered to tell them that she was what the Troobians wanted not to mention hacking their systems last night. They expelled her NOT for being a cyborg or android but over a trust issue! But no one seems to understand that! Also for Sky calling himself a monster: "Okay, now you're just being smart!" And I don't even think they really needed S.O.P.H.I.E. to help with Delta Command Megazord! The Dekaranger version was MUCH better! It had an Android Girl who was at a clean slate and the rangers befriend her while keeping her out the wrong hands! Also, I thought S.O.P.H.I.E. was a little pudgy looking. No offense to the actress.
Ocean Alert-This really was a stupid episode of Dino Thunder as Mesogog wanted to harvest Nikki Valentina for her shallowness (Seriously?!?) as well as Barefoot Valentina hurting Zeltrax's armored foot?! But the irony just keeps coming as while she may not deserve this: I wish there could have been a bonus episode of Dino Thunder with the return of Nikki Valentina thus making her a recurring character! The episode is called: The Vain & the Vicious and rather than harness shallow energy from her, Mesogog just gets down to the point and pushes her into the Geno Randomizer turning her into that Lipstick Giraffe Monster from Abaranger simply called the Valentina Monster! And instead of turning people into flowers, Valentina Monster would steal people's looks ala Crumummy! Cassidy & Devin included! I'll save the rest of the story for another entry...
Dishonorable Mention: One Master Too Many-I know this episode is supposed to explore the relationship between R.J. and his father Master Finn and that's fine but I still thought it was an ugly episode (Especially since for the previous DVDs that this was the last one for it and it's NOT a good way to end Jungle Fury on DVD!) with Jelica blaming Camile while Dai Shi screams at her again! (Gekiranger's version was funnier for the bad guys as Mele chases after Bae!) And Crustaceo was wasted as he never really possessed anyone besides the Shark Spirit!
Favorite Zord(s):
White Tigerzord-It's a robot White Tiger that transforms into a Warrior! Need I say more?
Dragonzord-This is a classic zord that is basically Godzilla in Samurai Armor. I rather like how that sounds.
Drivemax Ultrazord-This 10-piece combination is an Ultrazord that's mobile & can fly!
Honorable Mention: None
Least Favorite Zord(s):
Tor the Shuttlezord-It's robot mode is ugly and it's roots are still unknown for the most part.
Ninja Megazord (Movie)-Also has a very ugly looking warrior form.
Artillatron-Doesn't really do much of anything save for its arms becoming cannons for the Rescue Megazord.
Shogun Ultrazord-This is just a little more glaring than even the Ninja Ultrazord as its arm turns Pink and the symbols are really different. If only they could have bought the Japanese versions and use them for this.
Gigazord-Neat though it may be it really does look like quite a mess of a Gigazord.
Dishonorable Mention: Supertrain Megazord-I just never cared too much for something as massive and powerful as that one. But probably not as much as you might think!
Favorite Mentor:
Zordon-The one who also help kickstart things in the Power Rangers Universe! The Real One! The Original One! And I chose this pic of Zordon 'cause it was still interesting! I did also like his voice(s)!
Doctor K-She was pretty. She was tough. Face the facts, she's Pretty Tough! A tormented soul who has suffered much in her life and although her zord designs are still quite childish at best, she's still a great mentor to the RPM ranger team.
Udonna-Even though she got captured now and again, she still fared much better in combat! And let's say that I have her on my list as a requiem of sorts for the late Peta Rutter!
Captain William Mitchell-Though he may not be THAT great of a mentor to everyone else, I DID say that he was better than Commander Stanton and he IS a loving father to Dana & Ryan! Plus, he did give some good advise: "Sometimes the Obvious Choice is the Wrong Choice."
Honorable Mention: Sensei Kanoi Watanabe-Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you the Power Rangers' take on Master Splinter! I still liked him now and again!
Least Favorite Mentor:
Princess Shayla-This Bimbo of a princess really is NOT a great mentor nor is she a great princess! She lets herself be captured, makes a FOOL of herself, is a horrible singer, fails at fighting her sole time and she doesn't even care!! And she SHOULD care! Because how she acts reflects her overall status! And personally, I don't support her & Merrick being a couple! Simply because they don't even know WHY they love each other! And I have someone far better suited for Shayla: Prince Dex of Edenoi! And who knows, Dex COULD be a much better Merrick than even Merrick! Though I DO wish that she could have been Zordon's Granddaughter!
Gosei-All he does is give the rangers new powers for almost no real reason and sucks at even being a mentor!
Mentor Jii-For someone forcing the ways of the Samurai on other ethnic races, he has absolutely No right to STEAL Antonio's Morpher and discriminate on him not being a True Samurai! He's also useless and has a very stupid name!
Dimitria-Can a creature from the Planet Inquiris truly aid the Power Rangers by making them help themselves? Is she or is she NOT a waste of space?
Anubis "Doggie" Cruger-I understand that many people like Commander Cruger but I do not think he's such a great mentor! Now and again, he HAS given horrible orders! And sometimes he zig zags on what he's commanding the rangers to do! He orders the B-Squad to capture Jack & Z, they obey him. They go to bring them in until Cruger tells them to stand down! And if he really knew that Jack & Z were children of the SPD founders, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THEM THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE INSTEAD OF MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF NOTHING!? And because of his constant favoring of the A-Squad, Cruger basically treats the B-Squad like dirt! But the real worse part is Cruger didn't even apologize to the B-Squad for fawning over the A-Squad! This is HIS fault after all! If he hadn't fawned over the A-Squad so much, they wouldn't even be captured! And He's supposed to be a Good Judge of Character! All it shows is how many times Cruger has brought trouble to his own team of Rangers! The A-Squad, the Protocol, Wootox, working his rangers not realizing it could be a trap. Real Classy Leader there! Surprisingly, I don't hold anything against him on taking the base to Japan to aid the rangers and leaving Newtech ripe for theft. THAT was a decent decision that just couldn't be helped. And there are at least a FEW decent aspects to Cruger. For Starters, he actually gave Z a worthwhile home that she Wanted in her life! And he DID defend the rangers from Birdie when he wanted to split 'em up and he can fight better than those other Mentors could! Also, I really liked his timing on Kat frying the Quantum Enhancer!
Dishonorable Mention: Master Mao-Without the Shadis clips for him, I consider Mao to be a Heartless Creature with a Remorseless Outlook on things. You know, because it's the Right thing to deny the rangers access to the Spirit Realm when they already can't beat Dai Shi now!
That's what I've got. Pardon me for the long list. Meme courtesy of .

You know what really rubs me the wrong way with Antonio originally being denied the chance of being a Power Ranger by Mentor Jii and losing his morpher (which also happened to be his personal property that HE MADE HIMSELF)? It's the fact that he was denied not only because he wasn't born into a samurai family, but because he chose to become a ranger and a samurai with not much training, and yet, Jii said no! The reason why I find that reasoning stupid and hypocritical is because the core Rangers' ancestors from centuries ago CHOSE to band together and become Samurai Rangers to fight the Nighlock! They may not have been fully trained yet, but they still trained themselves hard and chose to become samurai. And I'm pretty sure that other people that came after the ancestors and outside the Rangers chose to become samurai as well. What Antonio did, choosing to do this of his own free will, was no different from the ancestors. That's something that I don't think was ever brought up at all in Power Rangers Samurai! So not only is Mentor Jii a self-righteous hypocritical "mentor" who favors Jayden above the other Rangers and gives out crappy advice, but he's also, to quote Chris Jericho, "a stupid idiot", for not knowing that part of the Samurai Rangers history!
And honestly, Shinkenger wasn't all that different with Genta. The whole "not born into a samurai family" did make a little bit more sense in Japan, but Hikoma (who was still a better mentor than Jii) and the other Shinkengers still seemed to forget that their ancestors chose to become samurai warriors and the original Shinkengers to fight the Gedoushu, and originally saying no to Gena, who chose to become a Shinkenger, did make them look like hypocrites.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong in my thoughts on this. What do you think?

I'd say that the PR version seemed a tad more insulting than the Original Sentai one despite hypocrisy being present for both versions.
And thanks for not being critical of my opinions. Some Deviant on here said that I didn't know anything and that I Wasn't a true PR fan! And then blocked me afterwords. I really think the Power Rangers fanbase has become Quite rancid nowadays. They condemn those who find fault in some things, characters, episodes and whatever else and think that everyone should just Mindlessly love Everything in Power Rangers season unconditionally and Pretend there's nothing wrong at all!

I love the shogun megazord and the super zeo megazord, I like the fact they are just giant versions of the rangers themselves.

The Phantom Ranger's the most underrated Power Rangers character ever, because his identity remains a mystery forever. Curse you, FOX! You cheapheads!

Band Leader: Let's watch that new Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue episode even if it kills us. [they watched Trakeena's Revenge, but dies]
Funeral Guy: They wanted you to have this.
Mr. Krabs: [laughing]
Mr. Krabs: Let's watch the new Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue episode. [he watches Trakeena's Revenge, then gets sent to the hospital] SpongeBob. Make sure you wrap up that episode. I'm not finished watching it yet!
SpongeBob: I'll give it to Patchy the Pirate.
Patchy: [after watching Trakeena's Revenge] That's it? That's the best Power Rangers episode ever? That was just Carter's relationship with a little girl, and an old lady who doesn't believe in monsters!
Potty: What a rip.
Patchy: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... [he turned red and gets steamed up] POWER RANGERS BETRAYED US!!! [he throws away all Power Rangers stuff] I'm sorry I was a fan of Power Rangers since 1993! And now I'm gonna throw away all Power Rangers stuff! ALL OF IT! ALL OF IT! ALL! OF! IT! I'm gonna tell Nick to stop airing Power Rangers forever!
Potty: Gosh. What a crybaby.
Announcer: Now in Theaters. Power Rangers.
Potty: There's a new Power Rangers movie. It's good.
Patchy: Really? [he puts back some Power Rangers stuff] To the movies!

I'm pretty sure there was no way they were going to keep Mele's breasts! You probably can't show that on American kids TV! I think Mighty Morphin and Zeo are OK, Turbo is a bit lackluster, In Space-Time Force I can't get enough of, Wild Force could be better, Ninja Storm I like in an odd way but it's a bit embarrasing, Dino Thunder and SPD are both OK, Mystic Force I rank pretty low, Overdrive was my least favourite until recently because I am a Boukenger fan and if you're going to deviate from that series you've got to have something decent to replace it with, Jungle Fury actually was a breath of fresh air series to me, not a classic but still good, RPM I love apart from And...Action, first British ranger and everything, Samurai is kind of naffish[not much to say although it has redeeming elements], Megaforce I find even worse than Overdrive, not because of Gokaiger but just because it's such a cynical rehash of Mighty Morphin and Dino Charge I just found such a breath of fresh air. Even the ending wasn't that bad. The best thing about Dino Charge by far was the character of Heckyl. Great villain.
