I need to sit down and finally watch it start to finish, but two things that always stuck with me:

- I wonder why (and what) Evil Business Guy turns into a white-haired elf dude before becoming Grimlord.

- Holy poo poo taking "Go Green Ranger Go" and turning it into "Cybertron / Grimlords Gonna Get You" is some :lol: poo poo.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Jesus, it's the original "my dad disappeared and I have to murder all the bad guys to find out the truth" toku adaptation.

Speaking of what I was saying about suits...



But rather than making a black Dai suit, might as well just slap Dragon Ranger's helmet on the green suit for Zack end the :thunk: poo poo about a black guy in the black suit.

skip over Dairanger completely

And then I would have never seen Serpentera blow poo poo up or a turtle bellyflop on a guy.

I mean, that plan isn't a terrible one because it's not like they were able to use ANY Sentai Ranger footage from DaiRanger as it was

Also, despite having literal targets painted on them I thought the Z-Putties looked a lot better than the Cotopotoros from Dairanger (much like how Zedd himself was a better, or at least far more entertaining, villain than the entire Gorma Tribe). Though if it weren't for the movie I could almost guarantee you they would have wound up using the Dorodoros from Kakuranger in season 3 as they look close enough to Putties to count. But kudos to the designers for keeping the Tenga in the spirit of how Kakuranger's monsters were all derived from Japanese myths and folklore (in this case, the Karasu(Crow) Tengu).

They repainted the Red Rangers helmet three times for VR Troopers, why not just do that here? Hell, they probably had the Dairanger helmets, just slap those one them.

Like, Jesus christ, when you step back and realize "poo poo, we can't have a fight scene with these guys because they'll shred in one take", even on a microbudget show like PR, you'd think you'd try a do over.

Power eggs
Goony bird eggs
Tenga eggs
There's lots of eggs in this show.


Also a thought occurred to be about Tenga. If they were in Hyrule they would be called Rito. Rito gave Zedd Rito eggs.

Who are the other two people next to her? All 6 members of Time Force are represented as a team elsewhere so it's not TimeRed/TimeFire

Also I really like the Kyuranger suits over all the other recent sentai (maybe going back to Dekaranger?) so I hope this is true
And also that Nickelodeon loses control over it and someone competent gets to produce it.

I believe the middle one is the Shark Spirit Ranger from Jungle Fury.

As for the extra Time Force Red, they are one or two other rangers who are there more then once on that cover I believe.

Today's episode marks two firsts: the first Dairanger zord fight that isn't horribly spliced with Zyu2 footage, and the first extensive use of Austin St. John's voice double. Both are glorious.

The dubbing was hilarious, but aside from that it seemed a pretty solid episode even before the amazing edits.

I've started seeing promo pictures of the new sentai, and I'm getting increasingly hype. I was reading this collection of Arsene Lupin stories earlier in the year, so I was thrilled to discover they're a source for the season.

I can't wait to see how this season shakes out.

Kimberly-Rita is basically the moment where you realize Amy Jo Johnson was the only one serious there about being an actress and she does an amazing job. It's one of my favourite moments of the original series, she gets everything right, from the tone of voice, to her movement.

It's probably the only moment I genuinely cared about Kimberly to be honest. Should've kept being evil.

I thought it was generally agreed that on the hired-for-acting vs hired-for-being-able-to-punch-and-kick spectrum, AJJ and Yost were hired for acting, and the rest were hired for their ability to fight.

Make no mistake, David Yost was hired for his physical stuff too.

AJJ could do gymnastics stuff. ASJ and JDF could kick the air. Everybody else was fit and could be taught how to at least hang.

Likewise, out of the next set they had Johnny Bosch to be a Serious Kung-Fu Guy. (And apparently they were getting ready for him to become leader if JDF quit early? They actually told him to grow his hair out as Zeo wound down because they thought that was one of the reasons kids liked Tommy.)

Here's something I discovered about Rocky.

Like, Adam is remembered as The Quiet One who didn't do a whole lot

But Rocky wasn't even that. His greatest moment was when he got turned into a wall. Dude is just a brick in the shape of a person.

I'm not shocked at all that Adam was next in line to be leader

Craptacular!
Jul 9, 2001

Fuck the DH
At times I was pretty sure Rocky was written to make the MMPR red ranger costume lose cool points, as part of the whole idea of building the show around Tommy for a couple years. "Sorry kids, red's an idiot now. Here's a guy looking cool and having solo fights with monsters like red sometimes did in the first season, and he's wearing a Dairanger costume which is great in case we decide to scrap the others at some point. Go like him instead."

Overall I blame the haphazard editing of these episodes on Saban Corp's staff not realizing the folly of using actors right up until their contracts expire and then not even being finished with them by the time that happens. Don't just say you'll schedule the ADR session after the deadline.
