The first season of Power Rangers wasn't that bad. It wasn't really that good, but it wasn't bad. But once the second season started, it became horrid.
(I watched the old Power Rangers when i was just a wee lad. Ah, I remeber the days) |

My opinion of this season is the same as the last billion seasons starting from that "Turbo"season.
It sucks monkey balls.

that is kinda exciting but it is very stupid the way they made it. |

During the first season, the Power Rangers pwned royally. My friends and I loved everything about it way back when. Then we grew up. Ah, the carefree days of youth...
Perhaps I'm wrong, but it just seems like it's all one big marketing ploy in the years since, and I'm surprized that it's still on the air. Then again, if they bring back the guy who did it back in the day, I can see why new generations are getting hooked again. |

I've always loved Power Rangers - everyone seems to think it's stupid, but I was never there for the stereotypes or the story or whatever. For me, it was always about the gigantic "Monster of the Day" growing to ginormous propotions ("Magic wand! Make my monster GROOOOOOWWWW!") and then the Megazord appearing and beating the crap out of a guy in a costume.
I cried when the Megazord got destroyed in the first season. |

When the monster was almost defeated the evil leader would make the monster grow to super-size. The Power Rangers would get in their robot vehicles and form a large robot (kind of like a cheap Voltron knock-off) and proceed to smite the monter. It all got to be quite sickening after awhile.
That's the sentai formula alright.
But what else is offered? Unique stories, crazy characters, and in this season, a return of a legend. And in case you didn't hear, Doug Sloan, one of the original head honchos of Power Rangers back in the day (I forgot what his position was), is back in the drivers seat and has so far delivered great episodes of Dino Thunder.
I just wish new episodes would be shown at 9:30 instead of 8:30 on Saturdays...I love my sleep! |

I don't like it that much...But then again, I haven't been following the plot too much lately, either. But the show at least looks watcheable. |

After watching Ninja Storm all the way through and Dino Thunder, I have to admit that since Disney took over production of the Power Ranger series, it has become what many of my online friends call "A foray into the more intelligant PR".
Which is kinda true since I've seen it. Lothor, the enemy for PR Ninja Storm was the most human enemy one could ask for. Some of his quotes included "Why did I think things could be done right the first time?" along with such as the following :
Zurgane : Sir, I don't think we should be celebrating our victory just yet.
Lothor : Zurgane, c'mere. There's a few steps to conqouring the planet. Step 1 : Take out the opponents headquarters. Step 2 : Remove the oppositions leader. Step 3 : Crush them horribly and quickly. We'll do that together; it'll be fun.
And I have to admit, he's the first PR enemy since PRiS to fire from orbit to leave nothing standing. |

i wonder how much of the new series is based off the japanese stuff...since well, the original power rangers stuff in japan occured in 1975 and there have been power rangers for 10+ consecutive years...so, i doubt the stuff of recent is actually from japan...
anyways, for those of you who are interested, here is a history of power rangers in NA Power Rangers in NA history |

As long as the japanese keep making SUPER RANDOMWORDHERERANGER or whatever the original version is called.... Saban will grab it and turn it into the next season of power rangers. And somehow make it related to the past season. |

Hah, it's not like they did any real stunts anyways. just cheesy smoke effects and basic stock kung fu type stuff. |
