Everyone knows that there's extradimensional space inside the suits which is why non-humans always demorph when the suit is breached, unlike humans which can still operate in the confines of the suit if it's breached.

If Justin and Kou can morph from children into adults and it not bother them, Kruger can go through his own body horror and be pretty alright.

Everyone talks about Kruger but no one talks about how Torin loses his wings in transformation, despite actually using them for an attack. And Garu goes through the same thing as Kruger. Being a non-human Ranger is weird.

I imagine the real reason why Cruger just demorphs instead of getting helmetless shots is because his animatronics were impossible to rig up with the ranger suit

And Garu goes through the same thing as Kruger. Also on the subject of Kyuranger, Raptor slims down considerably when she morphs and Shou has the same "how does his head fit into the helmet" problem that Kruger, Garu and to a lesser extent Torin do. Honestly I think J from Go-Busters is the only non-human Ranger (aside from ones where the suit literally is their body like Ninjaman, Signalman and GoseiKnight) who doesn't have some kind of issue as, like Nick points out in his debut, he doesn't "transform" so much as he just strips off a few parts.

Man, Carol Hoyt is ok, but just doesn't compare to Hillary Shepherd Turner. Glad she comes back halfway through, she's the best acted/most fun villain in the Saban era IMO.

There was a dude online in the day who was defensive about Hoyt’s Divatox performance. And to be fair, most of the complaining was “where the gently caress did the boobs go”, and when Hoyt returned she wasn’t pregnant anymore so she wasn’t flaunting cleavage like that anymore, either. Hoyt is doing a fairly traditional Power Rangers villain to this point, sort of like Rita. Turner’s Divatox is much more shmaltzy and seems to not be aware that she’s a villain. And a villain that seems to not see themselves as a villain is not only more entertaining for adults, but it sort of works with both her eventual status as another Dark Specter underling trying to impress the boss, and eventually as a corrupted/brainwashed(?) person.

In retrospect it's obvious that the Megazord manual is a Carranger gag because it seems super weird and out of place.

Man, the first episode and you can already see how Turbo was just a bunch of bad ideas. Justin, Alpha 6, Tommy's sudden interest in cars, and a genuine lack of effort in using the original material and the new material together.

Not to mention the fact that they took what was largely a more comedic season and tried to make something somewhat serious out of it. Fortunately after the cast change they started embracing the goofy nature of the Sentai a little more and things improved a bit. Now granted, Carranger is one of my favorite Sentai shows (which is ironic seeing as Turbo was about the point I initially started losing interest in PR as a kid) but yeah, I agree the two sets of material don't really mesh that well together (initially at least).

Also the Red Ranger's exaggerated poses which weren't as much of a thing before. It reminds me of Dino Charge. I know it's well-regarded as an adaptation but when I saw Red morphed all I could think was that all that hyperactive jumping and dancing was definitely a different character from Tyler unmorphed.

Making something serious out of it was fine. But the repeated bomb plots were terrible, and so is the focus on Elgar as a hybrid Goldar/Rito who is utterly incompetent but supposedly dangerous; probably because his suit is the most mobile so he has to be the one who gets his hands dirty. That just undermines their own narrative. I always sum up the next twelve episodes or so as: “ELLGAAAAAR!!!!! DETONATORSSSS!!!!” Finally, the show’s shooting schedule around this time seemed to be such that they couldn’t have Divatox and the Rangers on the battlefield together. She was cooped up in a sub as if all her segments for a whole season were filmed on the same weekend. It’s unfortunate because Divatox done right is as funny as Zedd was while having the benefits of facial expressions. And when the mid season break is over and the rangers run around the sub as tiny people with her trying to step on them or eat them, Divatox is just a much more enjoyable character. Aside from the Sentai sequence everyone talks about, people actually like her little subplot in the pizza parlor episode. She really needs a foil, and just looking at her periscope and yelling at Elgar only goes so far. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Sep 15, 2018 |

I do eventually need to watch Turbo again, but I keep putting it off. I’ve watched half of Carranger and it’s actually really fun. The team is a pretty cute bunch, the baby from Dinosaurs is the mentor, what’s not to love? Zonette is a great villainess.

From what I've seen of the previews, one of the episodes involves Blue Senturion fighting the rangers because they called him out for wearing an ugly jacket. He keeps said jacket when he fights the Megazord.

I think in the American version they say it's like a jacket of reverse alignment. My favorite thing about Blue Centurion is how he can't be turned evil and about %50 of his eps are about Divatox finding a loophole to turn him evil. https://twitter.com/PowerRangers/status/1040963457682747392?s=19

 Today on Power Rangers, Divatox executes the most successful "make evil Ranger clones" plan yet.

No one has ever cut Tommy's hair. To this day, he rocks a queue long enough to drag behind him. To suggest otherwise... only you can I never forgive!

Fun Fact: This episode is nearly 100% American footage and one of the few (if not only) times they actually used the Turbo Megazord suit in American footage aside from the movie.

I guess they just thought some of them were too goofy for use in the show on a regular basis Personally I've always been of the opinion that trying to do much original stuff for the suit scenes is usually a mistake as it's rarely done well and often causes unneeded complications(like a lot of the issues they had for seasons 2, 3, Turbo, and Lost Galaxy could have been avoided if they had done more straight adaptations instead of trying to be "clever")
