I can't......dang it....
I really wanted to mega dislike this new series. But I just can't. The entire setup of the series works so much better than Megaforced. Making Shelby the initial focus was a great idea. Keeper, and even Fury aren't bad characters, even though Torin will be missed. Master Sledge I'm sure will look like something else by the time we're done. My only gripe are the voice actor for Poisandra. Candelira's voice was so...amazing. It's hard to put that into comparison. Still, this might be the first Ranger series I care about watching weekly since RPM. When even the theme song doesn't bug me I know it's going to be better than Megaforced. Pros: Like the background similarities between Tyler and Daigo Shelby focused background works well Little KyuRyuger footage, more original content. Probably won't last, but definitely welcome Small Jungle Fury in joke for nostalgia Good dialogue, non-wooden actors, good timing on the story points Some of the generals are still in the series. Good foreshadowing for everything else in the series. Amber Beach is about as good a generic town name as Angel Grove. I can dig it. With a shovel. And a bucket. Kendall aka DC Purple is my kinda hotness. Cons: Shelby is the worst waitress ever. Ernie would have fired her. Adele would have set her straight. The Keeper is what happens when you let Pikachu near ET. Bad Pikachu! So what, Sledge is like Boba Fett, but whipped? And why collect a bunch of asteroids and bounties and not drop them off to get paid? Isn't that a bad idea? And I'm going to permanently call him Sledgy. I miss Nossan's puns.

Okay, so with episode 2 airing I decided to see if I could find the first episode on Hulu.
I could not. But I did find a mid-quality illegal upload on a popular video streaming site, so I guess I do have a workaround if Viacom is going to continue to be a giant bag of dicks (which they are, because they're Viacom). It was... I'm not sure how to describe it. It's a modern Power Rangers series, but it didn't make me want to pour bleach in my ear in the hopes that it would scrub my brain clean. Is there a word that means the opposite of "bad," because I think this show is actually un-terrible. The plot isn't just the first episode of Kyoryuger with "all-powerful perfect messiah who is benevolent enough to grace we foul mortals with his majestic presence" crossed out and "Tyler" written in. The majority of the actors seem to actually be decent at their jobs, with Tyler in particular having both a knowledge of and ability to use emotions. The villains, despite having the same costumes, aren't intolerable (and with Sledge around, they even have something to make them look good in comparison to). The CGI was... better than Birdemic. Mostly. I think... I think this show might have potential. I mean, I'm sure Saban and Nickelodeon will find some way to totally fuck it up in the end, but I actually want to see more instead of returning to ignoring the franchise for another year. |
