I should rewatch Reinforcements since the new context of it makes it sound a lot more interesting. Also, RIP the Org costumes they were planning on using then.

This is also the first Sentai-like role call I've seen in PR it looks like or as close as it can get.

This is also the first Sentai that did the modular collectibles and iirc, they went went pretty all in on it in this one and Ninja Storm

Wild Force/Gaoranger definitely did the supplementary Zords among the best in the franchise, along with Boukenger(which might be my absolute favorites in the franchise)

Gokaiger and Go-Busters did a 180 on that at least in their own way (and it's part of why they're good seasons in a small way). Gokaiger went back to upgrades being events though they were largely just more finishers. All of the energy towards collectibles went into the Ranger Keys (which has basically become a license to print collectibles money by Toei now) instead. For Go-Busters, they largely just dropped the collectible thing and is probably the big reason why it was financially unsuccessful.

I'm definitely one of those who really didn't like either Gokaiger or Go-Busters mecha designs, they were for the most part pretty drat ugly, not to mention most of them translated really poorly into toy form

Despite the show itself being hot garbage Ninninger's mecha are some of my favorites from the last couple of years

I'd give Samurai some slack for being a "transition" season if Megaforce weren't also total crap.

Whatever you wanna say about Wild Force, I don't think you can Debby Merrick, Zen Aku, and the Wolf Ranger are badass. He's definitely top tier sixth for me.

Wild Force certainly has its issues, but Jindrax and Toxica, Master Org's backstory, Merrick, and Zen Aku are all pretty great. I'm rather fond of Taylor, Max, Danny, and Alyssa, as well.

Him and Green Samurai Ranger from Ninja Storm are definitely two of the best Sixth Rangers in the franchise

I always really liked Cam's character. He was a sorely missed Billy archetype, but was relatable dorky and stuff.

Cam is way better than the two Thunder Rangers.

He also gets a guitar.

So, since Wild Force is such a toy-oriented series and the topic of conversation is zords, I never watched Zeo as a kid and this stream has taught me that the Super Zeo Megazord is the ugliest loving thing.

Bear Zords attach to the megazord and chat immediately starts spamming "RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS".

This is a surprisingly fun way to catch up on some really subpar power rangers.

Tae: Oct 24, 2010; Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!

The fighting style is probably why I don't like wildforce as much. They're basically just grapplers and chain grabbers. They're more one-note than the other melee rangers.

Hey, the regular Zeo megazord (with all the animals) is neat, the Super Zeo Megazord is just a bunch of loving weird shapes stacked on each other.

gently caress that loving zord. I had one as a kid and it was a giant pain in the rear end to combine them all together. The blue zord folded in some really weird origami-esque way because it was used to connect the torso to the feet and it was impossible to actually to get it to stay in place to link up.

That's how I remember it as a kid anyway.

"You can't take that! It doesn't belong to you!"

Blue is super sad about the giraffe dying, Black pats his shoulder
"Never give up."
"...never give up."

Man, my weeb-rear end is picking up just how direct of an "adaptation" this show is now...

About Zenaku, who is standing in front of her and is holding her.
"He doesn't remember..."

The series gradually starts wholesale adapting the Sentai more and more from Wild Force on.

Sometimes to a completely unreasonable and confusing extent, like with Samurai (which was Shinkenger but in America and also 99% terrible)

This Zen'Aku/Maric stuff is so bad compared even to something like Magna Defender, and he was possibly even more of a walking cliche.

Magna Punisher at least had a connection to the cast. And, you know, he was Ranger Batman.

Getting a blast with the stream chat calling Merrick Egoraptor.

Craptacular!: Jul 9, 2001; Fuck the DH

What confused me about Ninja Steel was the casting of Red's dad, not just on resemblance, but because this dad is supposed to be the most supreme Ninja champion of Earth and then it turns out he's a Paul Reiser looking guy. Which, uh, okay. I would expect supreme ninjas to be Asian based on the cultural origins of the term, but alright.

Then I remember that in The Ninja Encounter pt1, Adam & Friends were in a Ninja tournament, and beat three undefeated boastful douches that Zedd was scoping out. And I'm thinking it would have been a great callback if Brody's dad was supposed to be one of those guys, but oh well!

It's how I just watched Forever Red because I'm gonna miss it on the stream.

Goons, please post highlights from the chat on that one. I need them.

Hey Fingercuffs: Nov 29, 2007; Yo baby, you ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?

Last night I stayed up till about when the Gorilla showed up. Woke up to all the zords getting taken away, way to go Tarzan you lost the zords. Also I looked up Ricardo Medina and apparently he's being sentenced next week for killing his roomate.

# ? Mar 21, 2017 13:53

John Wick of Dogs: Mar 4, 2017; A real hellraiser

Just manslaughter. I still maintain his innocence. His roommate was asking him how to acheive huge gains and Ricardo thought he would blow up and grow to gigantic size.

Current speculation is that pleading guilty was a plea deal to avoid being charged with straight up murder
