Thats one thing I'll give Disney. Aside from OO and RPM, they were very good with the theme songs. Magic Force was a little weak, but Ninja Storm and Jungle Fury and Dino Thunder were all excellent.

Dino Thunder's first half is utterly fantastic, the second half is pure garbage.

I loved the Disney themes. They were fun and energetic.

Despite my dreading it, Dino Thunder is actually tolerable. My only real problem is that the actors just need to put in a little more effort than they are right now.

Yeah it all goes downhill around the middle. Interesting character dynamics are either forgotten or dropped, the boss villains become a joke as they end every episode with their tails between their legs running away, the Power Ranger stuff takes a backseat to Devon and Cassidy's filler story of the week. Its terrible.

Well, that instills me with such confidence...
Oh well. At least the beginning isn't insultingly bad, so I can actually make it to the half way point at all...

While it's cliche, the line where Ethan says "She's not gonna fall out of the sky" when they were looking for Kira got a chuckle out of me.

Anyway, Zeltrax's voice is terrible. It's generic evil henchman voice. Anyway, Ethan can sell an unmorphed action scene, but Connor and Kira need work.

The White Ranger just showed up. While I'm only halfway through his two parter, I must say, it's being handled relatively well. All the characters are acting wonderfully, and setting up Trent and Anton's history well before the introduction of the White powers is great.

I thought the White Ranger was quite possibly the worst part of Dino Thunder. Everything they set up, is completely dropped, and not only do they force him into the story WAY earlier than they do with the sentai, they do fuck all with him. Not only is he barely in the fight scenes for obvious reasons, Trent himself is barely in the show either.

So much for making up what he did, then again Connor just seems to forget anyway despite his perfectly justified distaste for the guy. And Trent's romance with Kira? Forget about that, the show does.

It's almost laughable how from literally one episode to the other, Trent goes from this mournful lost soul, hating himself for almost killing his friends, friends who are willing to accept him, minus for obvious reasons, Connor to just vanishing from the show almost all together, never bringing up his grief or regret ever again.

Is Trent really going to be handled that badly? That sounds terrible. And here I was getting excited :lol

As a character right now, I actually really like Trent. His rocky relationship with his adoptive father, him just wanting to live like a normal teen, and how everything is seemingly thrust upon him. It sets him up for a great character. It's really disheartening to learn that it's all gonna be dropped or forgotten...

Trent started out awesome and promising, things sort of go downhill from there...

Sorry pal, but your happiness probably won't last. :lol
