Oof. I stood there looking at Time Force Pink vs Mystic Force Green for like 20 minutes.

Yeah, that's who I wound up going for, but Plan Xander almost worked.

If it was anyone but Xander (or Tommy, or Bridge, but Xander eked out Bridge last round), it'd likely be a landslide.

I'm frankly surprised that Xander beat Bridge. Bridge would've made the choice even tougher.

I think it'll be

Jason/Tommy
Tommy
Wolf or Titanium
Super Mega Red or Samurai
I think that Time Force Pink or MM Yellow have a chance, honestly.

Pretty sure they set the bracket this way to have as few Tommies as possible in the finals. (While still having the chance for 2 Tommies)

I'm watching Jungle Fury now and Wolf and Red are awesome. Just saw Rhino's intro episode so I can't comment on him either way

I just love the theme song because it's so cheesy in the best way.

I wasn't expecting to really like Jungle Fury, but I have been. Excluding RJ (for obvious reasons of him being the clear best), I'm surprised that my favorite character is Camille.

Zeo Gold was Jason. Also an alien named Trey but mostly Jason.

Also the final rounds are going to be tough for some of these, and really easy for the rest.

Basically, how my friend summed it up to me, Power Rangers is at its best when it's trying to be serious, while Sentai is at its best when trying to be goofy.

E: Or is that wrong? I only watched the sentai versions of the series I actually liked.

If you can't appreciate The Purple Stoner Ranger you should probably watch another series.

There's a reason I will defend Jungle Fury. It's the Stoner Ranger.

From trawling through a Ranger Wiki, I found that apparently RPM happened in an alternate universe?

It was supposed to be the finale of the franchise, until Haim Saban resurrected the series. It works well as an after-the-end type scenario, but not so much as a scenario that continues on to the next year.

Also that's neat about the two of them.

Rewatching Power Rangers RPM, and I forgot how much fun it was to watch. My favorite episode is And... Action, the behind the scenes episode.

I liked Jungle Fury quite a bit as well. RJ's probably my favorite non-Zordon Mentor, and non-Tommy sixth. I liked Casey's story arc, too, and the concept of the Spirit Rangers.

Neat fact about Jungle Fury. RJ is the mocap and voice guy for Vergil in Devil May Cry 2013.

He's taking over from Eric from Time Force, so Vergil's just a massive Power Rangers fanboy it seems.

SPD Red's a main cast member of Graceland.
Jungle Fury Violet is the voice of Vergil in the new DmC, following in Eric's footsteps from DMC3.

I never really understood the capture card thing. Power Rangers have been blowing up monsters for over ten years at that point. It would make more sense in Dekaranger where the monsters were just alien criminals, but the majority of SPD's MOTW were just drawings brought to life.

There's the :can: of Police Brutality, even with the fantasy backdrop.

It really is kinda stupidly incredible;' whilst I thought some other episodes of Megaforce were alright, Jason Smith's work basically shows the sheer difference what someone who knew about the show(s) being honoured, and had good motivation (in his case, the fact it was his own drat series) to ensure they were being honoured properly, could have made for Megaforce as a whole.

Jungle Fury has risen in the past few years to be my favorite season of the Disney Era, and really close to my favorite in general.

I'll say it: I didn't mind the sunglasses. I felt they made sense because they wouldn't stand out nearly as much as the Sentai Morphers.

One of the reasons I like Jungle Fury is because it's as much about Jarrod's growth as a character as it is about Casey/Theo/Lily.

She was probably my favorite part of Super Samurai. At least in that one, she wasn't bad at her job so much as overly specialized in the technique that beat the villain in the past, which he has since developed a counter for.
