I finally watched this and I enjoyed it. I don't agree with everything he says, as he did let his Power Rangers nostalgia fanboy take over areas of it, but he does make some great points. Plus, I was entertained.

Well he is a Power Rangers fan.

Yes, but being a fan does not mean you have to have blind love towards it to the point that you refuse to admit when something is done better.

Out of curiosity sake, is he saying the Powerful Rangers was better than Zyurangers? I have too little time right now to watch it.

The only thing he liked better was Bandora.

Some of it he made great points as to why he liked the MMPR better, but there were other points that he said that are only because he grew up on MMPR. Such as the stuff dealing with Clotho and Helfried.

He didn't actually say anything like that, but then again I shouldn't be surprised as this is the typical Sentai fan reaction. If it's not blind praise for Sentai, it's ignorant American bias amirite?

I mean, he says it all the time, but I guess it will never be enough: his views on Power Rangers and his videos on them are all opinion-based. It's what he likes better, not what he thinks is better, and if he does think something, he'll offer reasons for thinking as such, but it's always going to be his opinion. I think he actually starts every HOPR like that now because people just don't fucking get it. He gives really good reasons for his thinking, too.

Like he said, he doesn't care about the Sentai, because he's not into it the same way he doesn't care about anything he's not into. It's not being mean-spirited or ignorant, he just doesn't give a shit because it's not an interest of his.

He said nothing remotely close to the sort. He said he just liked the Power Rangers Green Ranger arc more. Which he did, so he's not wrong.

Ooooookay, not sure what that has to do with anything I said.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I never said it was. I even said he made some great points. However, there were areas where he just wrote off Zyuranger because it wasn't the same as MMPR, especially the areas that dealt with Helfried.

Because "better" is subjective in this case. There's a reason PR isn't just a dub of Sentai. Different demographics, different culture. you can't really call one better than the other when things are deliberately done differently.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh" you did when you called it "blind love."

Is there really a lot of that? The only Sentai comments I tend to see directed at him (although in fairness, I don't follow his community directly) are telling him he should be watching it if he's attempting to do an analytical breakdown of the series, which is 100% a fair point. You simply can't do something like this for anything without looking at the source material, especially for something like Power Rangers where it's so core to the overall show.

The problems are evident any time he tries explain or rationalise things that have mundane explanations and it's even worse when he starts lavishing praise where no credit is due ("the writers where so smart and forward thinking by not overusing the Green Ranger!"). It's enjoyable enough as a brief overview for each series, but he's trying to be the SFDebris of Power Rangers, which he doesn't come close to achieving.

On the flip side, I see endless comments along the lines of "Ha, take that Sentai snobs!". As is evident by this very topic. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but the pettiness, anger and jealousy all seems to come from that side, not the Sentai fans.

I have to agree there. Like in his Jungle Fury review he said he was confused as to why the masters suddenly showed up in animal forms (which was a scene taken out of Geki). If he had just taken the time to check out something of Geki, even if he just did research of it, he would have learned that.

Like I said, I enjoyed it. He made a lot of great points, but he also let his inner PR fanboy control his opinion of it at times. That doesn't make him wrong, it just makes him come off a little... can't think of the word I'm looking for...
