Craptacular! posted:Today it dawned on me season 2’s ridiculously cheap Dark Rangers could have just used the Dairanger main five costumes instead. And then after the Zyuranger PRs defeat them, Zordon could have melted down their coins to make the White Ranger. Shows how short sighted you are compared to Saban. Just imagine what it would look like if the dark rangers were the Dai Rangers every time Mega Force Rangers changed into them.

 Today on Power Rangers, a number monster. It doesn't get used very imaginatively.

I like checking out what the monster did in Carranger and apparently this onequote:he wiled a magic number stuff. with let him appears to play havoc with his staff to manipulate numbers like those in transfer check amounts and the price of items in stores. now on its face that sounds pretty lame compared to some of the other space gang members. but the ability to completty undo earths monetary and number systems is actually very dangerous. his plan was to throw the numbers of earth into disorder. and with humans society in a panic the Bowzock could hijack earth. leater crotch gave him a powerup backpack and the ability to use Number Bombs. Friends don't let friends drunk-edit Wikia.

Having recently watched too much Anime I needed something else, something stupid...so I started watching RPM for the first time since it gets pretty decent praise. And holy crap  at that first episode. I'm in for a fun and silly little ride aren't I?

 Today on Power Rangers, it's the trifecta: a Justin-centric episode comprised of mostly American footage with a very important safety lesson.

LizWiz, what's your process on these? I'm curious how long it takes, and how you decide just how dumb the final cut will be. And were there any episodes which were agonizing to work on?

And were there any episodes which were agonizing to work on? I don't watch episodes in advance; I just rip them from the DVD, drop it into Movie Studio and crop as I go, so probably...40-45 minutes for an episode before rendering, usually. No episodes really stick out as awful, but if you want to know my main source of agony it's when two spoken lines of dialog overlap each other, or when they change shots at the end of a line of dialog, which makes some moments just impossible to isolate and use in the final cut.

Is it bad that I would've completely agreed with Justin using his powers for personal gain here? They sure wouldn't gently caress with him anymore if they got the poo poo beaten out of them by the Blue Ranger. Or hell, apparently even an unmorphed Justin could've broken some teeth. That's a really strong child. Also for once a detonator goes off and...it only creates a monster. Wow. Divatox's plans are even less impressive when they work. And that was an incredibly obvious shift from American to Japanese footage (Rygor and Eltar's faces, jesus, and the footage looked much darker in general).

Zordon's rules are honestly rathe dumb and arbitrary and rooted in a lot of 90's "fair-play" "lessons" that seemed more focused on making sure kids know their place than anything with legitimate merit. I remember when Dino Thunder was airing and there was a lot of blowback towards Conner for "escalating battles" by wanting to get stronger or using a zord or a battlizer on something that didn't require so much power and I was just like. These monsters are threatening people's lives. If you have an advantage, for god's sake use it.

Escalation of force is a real problem, though. It's a good thing to teach kids to respond appropriately to threats instead of just like going immediately to rolling out the Ultrazord because the monster first stepped foot on Earth at man-size, or smashing Johnny's face into the desk because he took your eraser.

I agree that escalating pointlessly is an issue, but also, what is being escalated here? In monster fights, it's still a monster trying to Here, though obviously lesser, the idea that you can make friends with people that hate you for incredibly petty reasons is very silly. It works because it's a dumb show for children, but in reality this is a terrible lesson that'd only end up with Justin getting beaten up even worse and then sucking up to them because that's what he's been taught to do. Of course, violence wouldn't exactly fix it in reality either - but in reality children can't insta-grow to adults and gain super-powers.

Someone stealing another kid's eraser is leagues different from something like monsters attacking people in the streets or a giant monster stomping a city subdivision into glass. The idea of "hey maybe we should use the smaller guns and go easy on this one" only has merit in a series like SPD where they're bringing the character in and hinting at the idea of due process, and becomes meaningless when the monsters explode into a fireball anyway at the end of every episode. The villains are going to try and create newer and better monsters anyway.

As the writers can’t control when an Ultrazord does or doesn’t appear, their old writing served two purposes: 1. Explaining why the best equipment didn’t show up sometimes, particularly when adapting episodes out of order. 2. Another thing with the PSAs for Saban to convince the 90s culture war Democrats that the show was teaching kids discipline.

There was also an old episode where Baboo and/or Squat was just creeping on Kimberly right outside her bedroom window at like 7am. At that point you might as well just drop the pretense if monsters are just showing up to your house

I remember an early episode of Lightspeed Rescue where Kelsey gets a new astronaut girlfriend, and she's publically a power ranger but her girlfriend didn't recognize her. Then at the end she takes off her helmet and is like "Woah you're a power ranger?" "Woah you're an astronaut?"

Zordon clearly didn't quite understand the point of secret identities. If every enemy knows it, then there's no point to it, but the Power Rangers hide it from the people they shouldn't and don't hide it from the people they should. At least in the comic they genuinely did try to stop Rita from knowing, and it was treated as a big deal that she learned who they were, even if it happened really early in their career.

Which is funny compared to how it happened in GoGo V, where the girl astronaut immediately recognized Green from his voice(as they were childhood friends), and would be a recurring presence in the show(even briefly gaining powers in the non crossover movie GoGo V had that didn't get adapted for Power Rangers)

LividLiquid posted:It's only censorship when lefties complain about art. Not when right-wingers try to actually censor it. There’s two things here you’re missing: Fact 1. Saban is a die-hard Clintonite. He gives much less of a gently caress what the GOP thinks. Fact 2. The Parents Television Council, with Joe Lieberman as it’s champion in power, was the staunch critic of violence in television through the 90s. That does not preclude the Republicans having their own cultural agenda. That I omitted the right wing doesn’t mean they don’t have a position, it just wasn’t relative at the time. And I’m not saying the culture war focusing on violence in children’s media wasn’t warranted (they were selling Terminator 2 figures to boys at one point), just that it’s a culture war issue. To me, “the culture war” is a never ending thing between the political camps and their hang ups on media. Hence, the PTC is ultimately a conservative organization, but if Saban wanted to get Lieberman off his back, he needed Clinton, not Republicans.
