I haven't watched this show in a couple months and wouldn't have if it weren't for the Dekaranger cameos. I see that Lucky is still a fucking moron. i know this was mostly a teaser for the upcoming Dekaranger movies, but it was still really fun to see these characters again, even if they had to share screentime with the charisma-less yahoos that are the Kyurangers.

Stinger, Champ, and Lucky are the only ones to have had character development. Unfortunately, they've turned Stinger from badass loner into a whiny emo. Hammy got about 3 minutes while Garu and Sparda are still waiting. None of the villains have received any development either and there seems to be no set rules on how a monster grows or not. Sometimes they grow, sometimes they have a mecha, etc. The worm creature you saw in this episode has already been used 3 or 4 times within the last 10 episodes, if that. In fact, there hasn't even been a villain yet that can even match up to the rangers because they are always being handed a new upgrade to beat that monster on a silver platter rather than having to learn a lesson or a new skill, or anything. |

....did you miss the part where one of the team was quite literally trashed by the "new" villain?
Also who cares if there's no set rules about how monsters grow? If it was just one way it would be formulaic and god knows Sentai needs less of that.

Sparda the only character development he got is the likes to cook food for the poor. Hammy all she got that that can matter now is that she is a ninja who does not easy bullshit methods to be the best like Lucky. These are still not enough, hell somehow Garu has gotten more development over the episodes to build the fact that he is Lucky's loyal dog. As for stinger I can understand the emo kid thing because he did just seem like Sasuke but they might change that now.

But in all seriousness, I'm curious why you harp so much on character development in Kyuranger. Obviously guys like Garu and Spada are still in need of more attention, but it's the kind of thing where I feel like shows with way smaller casts have failed way harder. Outside of the real AAA, solid gold, top tier Sentai like Gekiranger, character growth often isn't something you get a lot of in 18 episodes. Tell me how Saya or Gouki had grown by this point in Gingaman. Or even in the entire series. What about everyone in Zyuohger? I can see where you might feel like "well those shows had other things to fall back on", but it seems like instead of criticizing the elements of Kyuranger that are actually bad, you're focusing on something it's handled, at its worst, no more poorly than most other Sentai.

And yes, Stinger was balling like a little bitch. "OH no, you betrayed, please kill me now as I have nothing to live for." He knew his brother betrayed him years ago. Why should this effect him now? Quote:

It another reason why I find the Soda era of Sentai to be subpar. His rangers were never given any development. They were chosen to be the rangers because reasons. Like I am 25 episodes into Dynaman and I still don't have any idea why these guys were chosen to be the heroes. I guess I can understand Ryu because he is a ninja, but why? Was someone in his clan destined to become a ranger? What makes him a great inventor? What makes any of these guys inventors? Did they graduate with PhDs? Are they going to school to get their doctorates? Why is Rei scared of cats? And then we have the cast of Changeman. Okay, the Earth Force chose them to be rangers, but why? So the red ranger used to be a baseball player, cool. What about everyone else? Why is it important for the blue ranger to own a restaraunt after he is done? Was pink part of a biker gang at one point? The only thing I know about the white ranger in all 55 episodes is that her skirt was one inch away from the show having to be called Dengeki Hentai Changeman. Quote:

By episode 18 of Dairanger, the rangers had learned how to work together as a team, earned the right to use the Kiden Beasts, earned the ability to combine the Kiden Beasts, Ryo lost his father, Daigo fell in love with Kujaku and was trying to get her to drop her plans for vengeance, we learned that Rin grew up with Gon, who is the inventor of the Dairangers' weapons and suits, and that Shadam has a kid. By episode 18 of Kakuranger, they had formed the team, Sasuke had learned how to be a responsible ninja over being a lazy goof, Tsuruhime had taken charge to be their leader and had to put them all into shape, and that Junior had to take charge of the Youkai because they were spending more time goofing off than actually being monsters. Now perhaps you are right, perhaps I am being too hard on Kyuranger. However, I've seen Sentai do so much better, so I shouldn't have to lower my expectactions because Toei wants to be lazy. Even without the character development aspect though, Lucky is the love child of Ban and Daigo, the villains are pretty much pointless (not to mention their designs are mediocre), the mech battles are forced into every episode even when they don't need to be there, and there is way too much CGI. The one thing I do like are the first person shots, but there are way too few of those used and far inbetween. I want to see a good minute of battle done from that perspective. Ultimately though, I am bored. Last edited by Dr Kain; 06-16-2017 at 03:32 PM.. |
