parallelodad posted:Rito really reminds me of Ernest from the "Ernest goes to" series of films And a series of notorious local broadcast television commercials! http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/2016/09/05/laser-time-the-importance-of-loving-ernest/ Laser Time is kind of a mixed bag, but this Ernest episode is really good. Anyway, MMPR 1-3 is ridiculously long, yeah. Season 3 is even more of an editing clusterfuck than Season 2. They're still using Zyuranger suits (and a Dairanger suit) for the Power Rangers, but the monsters and zords are from Kakuranger, now. When the Alien Rangers show up, it's probably a huge sigh of relief from the production team, because those suits are actually the Kakuranger suits, so they can use un-doctored Japanese footage again.

Doc Morbid posted:I pretty much just saw the first season back then. After that, liking Power Rangers was no longer cool (and I wasn't a fan of the Thunderzords) so I stopped watching. I was a huge whore for Power Rangers up until like sometime in high school. And then a couple years later, in college, I discovered Super Sentai and Kamen Rider and became a huge whore for those

So I stopped watching before they got to this point as a kid so now watching this season as an adult I see all the bad cuts and terrible editing. I feel so bad for these video editors.

Josh Lyman posted:Which of the other seasons should I tune in for? Zeo's alright. Turbo kinda sucks, but it's worth catching a couple of random ones because it's pretty batshit and Divatox was the first in a succession of hot lady villains. Tune back in for Power Rangers Time Force. It's almost a verbatim re-filming/localization of Future Sentai Timeranger, and it's really good. There's a really good subplot where the red ranger falls into a weird long-term conflict with his rich tycoon dad who runs the city's privatized security firm, and his duty as a ranger to keep ordinary people out of harm's way. They inserted a really actually interesting villain? Who starts off like a generic evil overlord type, but then you learn about his tragic past that warped his worldview? Time Force is real good. Uh, I think Time Force might have also been the start of the trend of "some or all of the rangers also have some kinda special power in their human forms, too". Dino Thunder is pretty alright. It has JDF/Tommy return to the series after a massive hiatus, and he shifts from being the mentor character to being a ranger again part-way through the series. Also notable for having the best American-created insert villain since Zedd- Mezogog is a real good monster suit. Ninja Storm is fine. It's not really remarkable in any particular way, but it's not The Worst, either. Notable for having really cool ranger suits. Power Rangers RPM is kinda middling, but it's fairly unique in latter-day Power Rangers in that they didn't try to just re-film the sentai like they do for a lot of them. It's got its own plot about battling a machine empire that's already functionally taken over the world and ended the old civilization. They would have benefited by saving that for a Go-Busters adaptation, but the joke is on us: they never made a Power Rangers out of Go-Busters Dino Charge was supposedly a pretty good handling of Kyoryuger, but I've only seen the first couple episodes, so I can't say much besides I appreciated the decision to make the Blue Ranger, who does a lot of sweet wrestling moves, into an immortal caveman from the ancient past.

Turbo is a mess because the Sentai it's adapted from is already a parody of other Sentai series, but they struggled with balancing serious and goofy in the US adaptation.

Honestly everything after in space was poo poo to me. Lost galaxy was ok because it kinda continues the angel grove continuity, but once that goes out the window there's no point to keep watching imo.

Josh Lyman posted:Which of the other seasons should I tune in for? Turbo through Lost Galaxy is worth watching. Lightspeed Rescue is okay. Then Time Force and Wild Force has Forever Red at the very least. Edit: Dino Thunder is apparently worth watching, but at that point I stopped watching. SPD is also worth watching. RPM has a few gems that get very meta (and two of the actors got together IRL which is  ). Dino Charge is apparently watchable to decent.

Samurai sucks majorly, but I really like the narrative that, somewhere along the line, Bulk became a massive weeaboo and fell in love with cool swords and the Code of Bushido.

I love Lightapeed rescue. It's the first time the series is like "These are adults. This is their job." Their mentor is Ron Swanson. It has the first and only American created ranger and he's awesome. Their megazord is top tier design-wise and the best combination sequence (though you only see the full sequence about twice).

Kat was going to show up as Tommy's wife, Eric and Wes were going to contact Trip to see if their fight changes anything in the future timeline, Tommy and Alpha 7 were going to have a scene, there were several possible rangers who would've made a heroic sacrifice in the final battle, and, most pertinently, the original script had Kimberly married to Skull, presumably having caught him on the rebound after giving Tommy his Dear John letter.

Turbo is goofy as hell, but I still like their combination sequence the most, a bunch of cars smashing into each other and then hitting the brakes, making the Megazord slide up into standing position.

I love that too, but the gyrocopter crane lifting the torso onto the legs and then the top half extending it's ladder arms and pulling itself up beats it in my mind. It is also my belief they were made from Turbo's destroyed Rescue Zords.
