Here we are at last- the end of Power Rangers Dino Charge.
It's been a hell of a ride. |

Best lines of the episode:
Sledge: "And now for something you've never seen!" Tyler: "Lemme guess, Magna Beam?" Sledge: "Magna B-huh?"

They finally stuck the landing with what is arguably the best and most controversial season finale in PR history!!!
Sledge's plan with the Greenzilla eggs is so far removed from Kyoryuger, any sane comparison would lead to an insane contrast!!! A bounty hunter selling a planet for "scrap"!!! Not sure if this really makes sense, but "bad monster trying to destroy Earth" plots don't always make sense. Seeing a montage of bit characters with virtually no speaking roles and having them use mirrors with a buttload of extras defies belief and logic. Not much else you can say there. And with a black hole, Sledge is presumed dead!!! It's not said outright, but the theoretical science of black holes would imply: "Yep! They dead!" Not only that, the Earth is sucked in, and PR achieves a new level of darkness by virtually "killing" every human ever!!! This was halfway implied in RPM, but Supercharge took it to a whole new level. Of course, this timeline is presumably erased so none of it matters, but still... The scenes in the distant past rewrite a plethora of PR history and prompt a hundred new questions. Both Keeper and Sledge are familiar with the phrase "Power Rangers". Mighty Morphin' were the team we identify as first until the Alien Rangers implied they existed long before. One could arguably suggest that the Super Megaforce "New Powers" existed during this time, but another argument for another forum thread. The epic battle that follows mimics the first episode with the bomb joke, only to make it truly fatal and have it kill Fury. Ivan seems almost happy about his "captor" meeting his "end", which is far removed from Utchy's warrior respect for Dogold's death in Kyoryuger. Sledge grew!!! WTF?!?! Sledge grew and I really thought this was getting good!!! Sadly, no original Zord battle, but he still grew!!! Why Snide didn't grow and face down recycled Kyoryuger footage is beyond me now!!! By killing Sledge and Co. with the sun, they inadvertently kill "distant past" Heckyl/Snide. A note to continuity, Curio is absent. Since he wasn't created until after Sledge returned to Earth, this is appropriate. Keeper sends the team back and Heckyl assumes a similar role. The idea to stop Lord Arcanon implies that he will be defeated before he can destroy Sentai 6, but couldn't this also affect Sledge's solar fate if Arcanon isn't around to tell what to do or where to go? With history changed, dinosaurs live and PR can't help but flinch. Mighty Morphin' and Dino Thunder were at a time when the dinosaurs were extinct. The Zordon Era could be justified, but Dino Thunder was about the death of dinosaurs and a reptilian mutant's egotistical plan to "return to the age of the dinosaurs", which doesn't jive well with this in-universe retcon!!! Seems odd that Saban would approve of a finale which potentially harms his market-saturating MMPR bandwagon!!! In the final analysis, I loved this episode even if I have reservations about the plot and resolution itself. I'm left conflicted and wonder where anyone goes from here in terms of the greater franchise "storyline". If the timeline changes, its as if none of this ever happened. A shame for this installment to end like this, because it did happen and the stain of the Neo-Saban Era looks less pronounced even if PR had to seemingly hurt itself as a whole to do it!!! Will Ninja Steel follow this change and show dinosaurs? Did the release of Jurassic World inspire this ending? Will Saban experiment on himself and accidentally transmutate into Mesogog? I can only answer one of these: Saban will never be a Disney villain!!! P.S.: Saban returns to Kamen Rider!!! Not really, but despite everything, he still works a nod in. |

.... My question is this:
Is Dino Charge even canon (in terms of MMPR - Jungle Fury and Samurai - SMF) anymore? |

I think Dino Charge is its own continuity at this point.
