Rewatched the Green with Evil Saga and man this really didnt need to be five episodes. The Storyline is so incredibly stretched out it really hurts. You could have easily have done all of this in three maybe two episodes.
For MMPR those are some of the better episodes and even then they really are not all that good. Not just that Rita only now comes up with the plan of an evil ranger its all the Tommy stuff thats painful to watch. Its so incredibly obvious that he was the green ranger. He is acting like a giant dick from one day to the other and is not that good at hiding that there is something up with him. The introduction of Scorpina was also random since she doesnt serve a purpose in the story. Rita just lets her show up all of a sudden. Just like with the Green Ranger Coin I question why she never used her sooner. The editing is also really poorly done but hey its MMPR and they were never good at splicing the sentai footage with the rest. I also didnt like that every problem the rangers faced was resolved far too quickly. We cant morph? Just connect two wires a minute later and now we can. There were some other instances like that and that really bugged me. The Dark Sword or what it was called was also pretty useless. It shot some lightning and that was it. It was never intrical to the plot and was destroyed at the end of the storyline. The "rivalry" between Jason and Tommy was pretty poorly done as well. Tommy turns evil and he suddenly is after Jason without any explanation why. Yeah its because the sentai footage demands it but there was never even a sentence as to why he was constantly after the red ranger and not so much the others. And yeah the resolution to the Arc was pretty weak too. They punch him, destroy the sword, give him "the talk" and now they are best friends. I never like endings like that and it just feels far too easy and a bit lazy. |

Thunderstrike's Legendary Ranger Marathon: Day 1:
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Season 1: Episodes 1 - 10 So...... Not really much happened here. It's just Rita sends down a monster, Rangers fight monster, Monster defeats Rangers, Rangers get a new thing, Rangers destroy monster, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. Luckily, most of the episodes within the first 10 are used to develop the characters more. Most of the time, however, it's just the Rangers learning an important lesson. In Day of the Dumpster, we are introduced to most of the main characters in this season: Jason - the Red Ranger Billy - the Blue Ranger Kimberly - the Pink Ranger Zack - the, erm, Black Ranger Trini - the..... Alright, who the hell was in charge of casting for these Rangers?!? Really, I'd like to know who is responsible for making the Black Ranger an African-American and the Yellow Ranger Asian. We also meet Zordon and Alpha 5, the mentors for this season, and Bulk and Skull, the comic relief for this season. And then there are the badly-dubbed over Zyuranger villains. Rita Repulsa is the main villain of this season. Her minions as of Episode 10 are: Squatt Baboo Goldar (my personal favorite) and Finster. Something that I have noticed with most of the MotD (Monsters of the Day) is that most of them don't really say anything...... at all. Just quick one liners.... The only two that seemed to talk more were King Sphinx and Ticklesneezer. Hopefuly the next 11 episodes are.... Surprise! Last edited by thunderstrike541; 01-02-2015 at 02:14 PM.. |

Thunderstrike's Legendary Ranger Marathon: Day 2:
(NOTE: Day 1's review was meant to be posted yesterday, but by the time I got home, it was too late) Part 1: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Season 1: Episodes 11 - 16 Like yesterday (or today), there are a lot of filler episodes in this viewing. Uncles also seem to be a thing in this viewing. We also get our first Ranger switcharoo episode with "Switching Places". Why does everything happen to Billy and Kimberly? First, they are forced to turn punk, then their brains get swapped. What next?! Surprise! Oh no......... To be continued... |

Thunderstrike's Legendary Ranger Marathon: Day 2:
Part 1: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Season 1: Episodes 17 - 21 Also known as the Green With Evil Saga. We have finally reached our first story arc of the season. We are introduced to two new reoccurring major characters: Scorpina and the infamous.... Tommy Oliver. I'm with ElConvoy here opinionwise. This really didn't need 5 stinking episodes. I guess Saban wanted to introduce the Green Ranger over the course of that specific week. Also, what the heck is up with that hideous cloth shield?! Saban, being a cheapskate since 1993..... Leave it to Tommy to make one hell of an entrance...... Last edited by thunderstrike541; 01-04-2015 at 03:07 AM.. |

Thunderstrike's Legendary Ranger Marathon: Day 3
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Season 1: Episodes 22 - 26 After the five part "Green With Evil" saga, the season goes right back to filler episodes (not counting the clip show "Island of Illusion" 2-Parter, which we will get to tomorrow). These filler episodes are somewhat enjoyable if you are just looking to kill time, and.... wait a second.... Did Rita Repulsa just make Frankenstein?! *flips desk* I'm out. This season has just become too strange for me... |

Frankenstein was cool , actually one of the stronger one-shot monsters during the early seasons. He pwned the megazord & dragonzord individually. It was just silly how he got destroyed after walking straight into the power staff.

Thunderstrike's Legendary Ranger Marathon: Day 4: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Season 1: Episodes 27 - 40 As the series got close to it's 40th episode, a lot of stuff happened. Tommy lost his powers, we got our first full team of evil rangers (not counting the evil Green Ranger from earlier), and we also saw Lokar arrive..... and get defeated in his second appearance. The series was originally supposed to end after 40 episodes, but it became so popular that it continued. This meant that new footage had to be shot in Japan, and that footage has been called the Zyu2 footage by the fans. In the last 20 episodes of the season, we see yet another full team of evil rangers, and.... Surprise! Last edited by thunderstrike541; 01-06-2015 at 09:57 PM.. |

Thunderstrike's Legendary Ranger Marathon: Day 5
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Season 1: Episodes 41 - 43 School has started back up, and that unfortunately means less episodes per day. Today on Power Rangers, we see the return of an old enemy: the vile, the terrifying, the demonic..... Pudgy Pig. We also find out that Billy is afraid of fish and that Bulk and Skull are complete @$$holes (for now) These are also the first three episodes to use the new Zyu2 footage mentioned in yesterday's post. Why they decided to bring back Pudgy Pig, however, is beyond me. |
