Dear first five minutes of Power Rangers Samurai

Am I the only one who thinks the design on the blue ranger's helmet looks similar to...a certain plant...(Of course not! KHV members are too pure and upstanding to think such a thing!)

 

I feel saver already!

 

Oh no, it's GeoGreymon.

 

Sadly... I used to love Power Rangers as a kid. I lost massive interest around Zeo...

Turbo just murdered it for me, seriously... I wonder if they just picked some random kid to be the blue ranger. Geez, that kid was terrible and totally ruined any assumption I had about more adultish rangers.

I am now watching A History of Power Rangers, despite me missing the Space episodes which sounded AMAZING!!! I'm glad I stopped watching. I have to see this now... *goes to look*

*five minutes later sobbing in bathtub sobbing like a baby*

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Wait wait wait STOP RIGHT ****ING HERE.

Finally, the subtext issue presents itself in this series.
America made the Blue Ranger the black kid.
I'm not sure if that's a step up from just making him the Black Ranger or not.

Beyond the whole race issue that apparently Nick NEVER LEARNED from Saban's mistakes in the original casting. The yellow ranger being Asian and the black ranger being African American being the original casting mistake... And noted later on the Native American getting the red powers.

It's just a terrible episode... The monster is terribly done, I can tell in the first few SECONDS it's computer animated and it is easily to see. The whole "secret identity" thing baffles me beyond words on how someone seems to keep it a secret and then morphs in front of everyone. That's one hell of a secret. The villains at the least are bland, at the most just downright dull and unoriginal. The green ranger seems like a whiny little brat who is good at video games. (When did that become a requirement for being a power ranger?) And the rest seem... Eh...

Sorry to bash, but compared to Lord Zedd, Evil Green Ranger, and original Goldar before he became a bootlicker, the villains suck. The Power rangers were always a little iffy to me, but they always seemed to get it to work convincingly a lot better than this group. And the monsters were ten times better. As Linkara put it in his reviews, it always had an air of magic versus technology for a long time, and this doesn't have any of that feel.

Oh yeah... Apparently you can't also have any friendships/contact with your family...

Lovely...

 

You do know Saban is in control of the series again? Nick's just the channel its on.

And yes, Space was one of the best. I liked Zeo as well, but Turbo could of been better. I like the Turbo Movie but the series could of been better, regardless of whether or not the Sentai it was based on was more of a self parody. I stopped at Time Force when I was a kid lol.

 

If I remember correctly back when Turbo came out, I think there was a contest of some sort for any kid to become the blue ranger. So yeah, he possibly wasn't an actor beforehand. *Too lazy to websearch*

My interest pretty much stopped with Turbo, too. Was just too much of a hassle to deal with new Rangers when you grew so fond of the originals.

 

No?

 

Because Saban is totally in control of that. [/sarcasm]
