He flails like crazy in PrIS whenever he's forced to unmorphed, for what that's worth.

Seriously, he is a soccer player. Whenever that happens, the other Rangers are in pain... Carlos is in agony.

Unrelated, we all know Power Rangers is run by people who squeeze every penny to produce it; is the Sentai the same way?

The footage always looks six years older than the US footage even though it was produced just the year before. So that should tell you something.

Things got flashier by Time Force and Wild Force, and the footage no longer looks like a movie from 78 when it jumps to Japan. But honestly, that's kind of a part of the appeal for the Zordon Era set. Ive liked a couple Disney era seasons and am watching Ninja Steel, but it never feels like it's the same program as what's been on here because today's shows are so glossy and overproduced.

High definition does no favors either, but PR was very slow to adapt to it.

there's pretty much no way toei could make sentai with anywhere near the level of stinginess that saban does; saban gets to cut a lot of corners through reusing another studio's footage and suits

Three things I've come to realize about this show. Sorry for effort-thinking about Turbo, but here we go.

1) Sorry to Blake Foster, but Justin basically ruins this show by himself. Everything after Tommy leaves is back on track and often funny, whether it's from Carranger or just Bulk and Skull doing their thing.
Justin can't be fixed, though. He's basically a power fantasy character for the children but he doesn't realize he's in a comedy. Nothing about him changed since Tommy left, whereas everyone else has changed.

Goodfellas Alpha is a pain in the rear end, but he's sort of a mockery of the Alpha you used to know, which keeps the theme of mockery of the genre. You can sort of live with Alpha 6. But you can't get over Justin because even when the focus is off him he's still basically a kid reading Billy's lines and you're supposed to be impressed with how smart and capable he is. It doesn't take.

2) Hillary Shepard Turner is known as The Boobs Lady in the movie, but because this is TV and she isn't pregnant her boobs aren't prominently in your face. She's actually very capable at reading the more comedic lines with a deadpan delivery. Carol Hoyt's Divatox, though initially met with "where did the cleavage go", is actually far more sexier than HST's. Hoyt Divatox will feel up a paper box containing tiny rangers while making vaguely sexual noises of satisfaction. Turner's Divatox is a great heir to something like Rita.

3) The Machine Empire had no Goldar/Rito/Ecliptor like figure. I think that's part of why people dislike them so much. It never feels personal, and they're largely limited to stock clips of them stomping around in their base. Zeo's second half has far more US shots of the machines, but none of them except Mondo and Gasket/Archerina are threatening.

I was totally still target audience for Power Rangers when Turbo was airing but still fell off (because Turbo sucks) but man that Turbo Megazord is still dope as hell. Right up there with the MMPR DinoMegazord and the Zeo Shapezord thing in terms of rad as gently caress designs.

e: and Justin can just gently caress right off

e: And Alpha 6 can gently caress off too

everything about Turbo, really

They're really burning through monsters fast. One monster was just a joke cameo, because the rangers had a big magnet pointed at Divatox's base and a metal monster came through the door and was immediately pulled away to his demise.


Also, in the most relevant edition of This loving Show:

quote:

Saban placed ads in the newspaper looking for four new Rangers, deciding to release Johnny Yong Bosch and Nakia Burrise as well. According to Bosch, the actors found out about their release when a makeup artist showed them the want ad for new Rangers.

^ Yeah, I cropped that out of the interview I posted earlier.

quote:

17. What were the exact reasons why you, Nakia, Jason, and Catherine left the show (to put away the rumors of being fired for asking for more money and what not)?
SAG was crashing down on Saban pretty hard, which meant we would have to become SAG actors, which also meant they would have to pay us more. a few weeks later we found a casting call for new rangers in the newspaper. no one told us anything, so we decided that it was a good time to go. so basically the old producers of the show screwed us.

To be fair, I doubt Super Sentai would have that much of an audience in Europe aside from extremely sad nerds like myself, so I can't really blame them for not releasing this stuff on R2 discs.
