There's a couple other high school aged characters in the franchise, but yeah I see your point

How old were the team in ToQger supposed to be? I didn't watch much of it but they didn't seem super old or anything.

JT Smiley posted:I love that they're keeping SPD going, but you mean to tell me that neither of the girls on the team moved up even a little bit? Yeah throw me in as someone annoyed about this. Color promotion was such bullshit (even the writer has said so). This as a chance to get it right and give the girls their due, but nah. Like I’m hype for Babby Tommy (haven’t read it as it’s a Christmas gift from my wife, but I more or less know the gist). There are so many better ways they could have done this. I’m just spitballing ideas, but I’m not sure if it counts as a spoiler so I’ll just tag it as such. Option 1: If Babby Tommy must needs be Green, promote either Syd or Z to Blue. The other will keep her original color. Option 2: Syd and Z are no longer on B Squad and have a different role in SPD. Hell, maybe one or both of them retired. Option 3: Babby Tommy’s mom is supposed to be Kat, yeah? So instead of making Babby Tommy be Green, make him Pink instead. Option 4: Keep the colors but change the numbers. But the way they did it so far? Yeah, not a fan. They promoted someone from HyperForce and The Rookie over them and I’m always gonna see that as trash.

I think SPD had the most potential of any of the more modern seasons, it's just a shame it drops the ball around the halfway point. I always hated how the girls in the team got so few focus episodes, especially since their dekaranger counterparts had so much good footage left on the table.

Oh hey, it's the meme episode. Probably the episode where the Carranger footage is most obvious about what Carranger is, and I'm glad Power Rangers gave it the seriousness it deserved, to the point of constantly calling back to it whenever TJ is back. Almost makes me ignore the obvious Japanese on the oven. Almost.

Oh yeah, I don't think there was ever any intentional making GBS threads on the girls either here or in the original production, it's just one of those things that highlights how much this is a series for boys.

Started Jetman. Had read how most of the behind-the-scenes crew left after that season, still was not prepared for how different it feels. It's like there's a budget! And a director of photography somewhere! Also was surprised to see the Vyram bumping off civilians on-screen. Especially the dude sucked into the faucet. So far, so good.

I watched the first two episodes of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad because I'm a grown up and you can't tell me how to live my life. I remember seeing a couple of episodes as a kid and seeing bits and pieces about the new Gridman anime had me curious. Thoughts: - The mech designs are absolutely top notch. The whole idea of mechs that can combine to form a robot, then combine a different way with an Ultraman-type dude to make an even bigger, cooler robot is just brilliant and it's a shame more Toku shows haven't done it. The closest examples I can think of are the Thunder Zords from MMPR and the Buster Machines in Go-Busters, but they don't quite get there. It's such a good concept for a sentai show, I'm surprised they never went there. - Tim Curry is a delight, as ever. - Our hero, Sam, has perhaps the least agency I've ever seen in a toku hero. His only defining traits appear to be playing the guitar and horniness. - This is a very 2019 woke take but Malcolm Frink, the human working with evil computer Tim Curry, is written as an almost frighteningly accurate take on a modern incel weirdo. In just two episodes, he wanders around school wearing all black, decides some girl is his girlfriend and actively tries to prevent her from seeing other men, engages in what is arguably cyber-terrorism in order to prevent the girl from going on a date with someone else, and then tries to get his 'rival' arrested by the police. - There is a tertiary character working at the school who seems to be into motorbikes. She seems cool. I just looked up the actor and it seems like at the time she was working on this show she was suffering from some combination of cancer, diabetes and blindness. She died in 2001 and that's a god drat shame.

S4 (which I have just decided is how I will abbreviate that dumb name) was a great show and honestly, may be better than MMPR in a lot of ways. It's creative in how it used the toku footage, has actors that are, AJJ aside, better than the main cast on PR, and while it falls into a lot of mid-90s "how do I internet" traps, it's actually kind of prescient in some ways., certainly in a way that's aged better than like, VR Troopers.
