To You Power Ranger Marks

[DerangedHermit 0]

I was watching the newest incarnation of Power Rangers (Ninja Storm) on ABC Family last weekend and I saw a promo for the next series (Dino Thunder) with everybody's favorite Ranger (or almost everybody's) Tommy (Jason Frank). He was babbling about some sort of dinosaur DNA and such. Anyways, it seems cool that he'll be back.

Dino Thunder? The fuck?

 

Tommy = awesome. I liked the Green guy (it's been a while since I watched, alright?!?) and that hot-ass Kimberly (yes, I was a little kid, and I thought she was DAYAM-UH~! worthy) more, though.

 

Mighty Morphin > all.

I checked up on a Power Rangers site and apparently he'll be playing the Black Dino Thunder Ranger.

 

Here's what it looks like:

What in the hell is up with that costume?

I always hated him. Hated him with a passion.

 

How much does this guy's career suck that he has to go back to this gig? Anything to pay the bills, I guess.

I remember he was on the MTV wannbe porn show Undressed and I think a female Power Ranger was on there to.

I hated it when they just handed over leadership of the team to Tommy when he became the White Ranger while Jason just stood there and did nothing at all. They should at least had them have a showdown for the team leadership.

Evil Green Ranger = awesome.

See, back when he was younger, I always thought he would have made an interesting karate-style cruiserweight. He'd naturally have tons of heel heat.

Perhaps you didn't notice that Jason suddently stopped appearing in all episodes shortly after that? The reason he LEFT is because the actor quit the show, and they didn't write out his exit immediately. I stopped watching the show around the time he left, but some episodes (like the Lord Zedd Halloween episode) had no Jason, Trini, or Zack at all. I think they made up an excuse about them doing something else. When the characters did appear in costumed form, their voices sounded drastically different.

I know why they did it but, I'm taking about in STORYLINE terms. At the time I didn't think it look right for Jason to let them take his leadership away.

Yeah I remember that Tommy, Kimberly, and Billy would be spending alot of with the new students and the only time you'd see the other Rangers is when they would morph.

That pissed me off too. He just dissapared for like a few months and then shows up and immediately becomes leader because apparently white is superior.

But Power Ranger logic makes WWE logic look like Hemingway and Tolstoy by comparison.

Damn it! Now I'm thinking about Beetleborgs and VR Troopers! AHHHH!

 

Since I've apparently got early 90's kids' shows going through my head right now, does anybody remember the show WMAC Masters? Man, that show fucking owned. It's the only show from that time period that I still watch.

We Are....We Are....(deep voice) VR!

 

Man, I watched the hell out of that show.

Same with WMAC Masters. Every saturday afternoon, I beleive that was the last show on the saturday roundup, after that was either a movie or infomercials.

 

I just recently saw a rerun of that show, I did not realize how horrible that show was. But its void of being a bad show just because of pleasant childhood memories.

[Mecha Mummy 0]

Oh, god, Beetleborgs. Now THAT takes me back and scares the hell outta me.

I've always liked Tommy. When I first started watching wrestling, I say Kidman in his white wifebeater and jeans days and said to my brother "Look. Its Tommy from Power Rangers".

Troopers, 3 go....virtual reality.

Masked Rider > VR Troopers

[Guest FrigidSoul]

I'm surprised this show is still on TV and even more surprised its getting new episodes

[LivingLegendGaryColeman 0]

There was also the ghetto-rific Super Human Samari Cyber Squad, which was just that one guy. I think that was the one Matthew Lawrence was on....

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Super Human Samurai > You.

 

The theme song was friggin great.

[Ravenbomb 0]

it also had Tim Curry as the evil villain guy

Are you KIDDING?!? Power Rangers is about the easiest show to make of all time- the company just takes the Ranger and Zord footage from the Japanese Sentai shows (in this case, Abaranger) and dubs over it with American voice actors while creating their own demorphed scenes. Cheap and an easy profit. Basically, we'll keep seeing PR shows until Sentai finally dies (and that probably won't happen anytime soon, as that franchise has been running strong since the '70s).

 

Anyway....I also loathe the PR series, but for different reasons- I love Sentai, and I hate watching them tear up the latest show into shreds with their newest PR. And I really liked Abaranger this year, so "Dino Thunder" will be really painful to watch/hear about.

 

The problem with PR is that they automatically assume that kids are idiots. I could go on a five-hour-long rant on why Ninja Storm was so horrible, and why going back to the goofy "Nothing actually matters!" approach was stupid, but no one here cares anyway, so whatever.

I miss the days of VR Troopers, Super Human Samari Cyber Squad, WMAC Masters, and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

[syxx2001 0]

I liked Super Human Samari Cyber Squad. It was 1 guy, but the other 2 guys could help him by using their zords or whatever they were called when he needed them.

[DangerousDamon 0]

But you guys can't forget about the tatoo teenage alien fighters from beverly hills.

[Ravenbomb 0]

I miss the days of VR Troopers, Super Human Samari Cyber Squad, WMAC Masters, and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

yeah. Back then everything on Saturday morning was people in suits and plastic helmets fighting monsters. Nowadays it's all Pokemon and the ripoffs thereof

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Anyone remember when the NINJA FUCKING TURTLES appeared to fight against, then join up with, the Power Rangers?

 

My God.

 

Dino Thunder debuts this week, I'm fucking there.

 

UYI

[Guest Flyboy]

Evil Green Ranger = awesome.

Yeah. Greatest thing of the Power Rangers... ever.
