On that, I can agree. Zeltrax's storyline seemed to go nowhere.

It was apparently another similarity to the sentai, but it just didn't work here...

He has a beef with Tommy, Tommy has no idea why while Zeltrax pretends their history is important, and then it's just dropped.
Then he gets a crush on Elsa that he looses in the span of two episodes.
Then he has a rivalry with the White Ranger until it just...Ends.
The he turns on Mesogog, but that goes nowhere until the literal finale.

Dino Thunder is constantly setting up plot after plot for Zeltrax, and they completely forget about them an episode later.

Wasn't Zeltrax's counterpart kind of a bigger deal in Abaranger? I ask because there are only...maybe 13 episodes with english subtitles on youtube and I can't seem to find one that doesn't require some sort of download from a shady website.

Zeltrax's voice is cool enough...I guess. That's pretty much all I got along with his design as far as redeeming factors go. Koragg had much more than that. I would judge the SPD villains, but I have yet to see the entire show...it's been almost nine years, so it's easy for me to forget what little I saw.

Yeah, anyway. Zeltrax is a weaker villain and certainly flawed in this show, but I think Mesagog saves the show and still remains as one of the best Power Ranger main villains, in my humble opinion. More serious and intimidating than the likes of Lothor and Rita, but a bit hammy still...

I wouldn't know, since I've seen nothing of Abaranger.

Anyway, I personally consider Zeltrax as a whole to be one of Dino Thunder's flaws.
Mesogog was cool. I didn't have any problems with him like others seemed to have had, and he's a much better villain that Lothor or Grumm, hands down. I'd probably rank him third, after Ransik and Zedd.

I need to find more english subbed episodes before I could tell you.

And yes, Mesogog didn't take crap when it came to the excuses of his troops. If you didn't answer "it's a waste of your time to make excuses when I can use it to try to destroy the Power Rangers", he'd do...whatever telephatic torture he seems to do to Elsa and Zeltrax in the first episode's ending. I still need to see Time Force, so I can't agree with you about Ransik yet, but I do agree that he's top three worthy, but below Zedd.

It's so nice to see posts from you that I one hundred percent agree with, Zeltrax kind of embodies all of Dino Thunder's problems. He died in a lab experiment or something, so then Mesogog rebuilt him...and that gave him undying loyalty...until he betrayed Mesogog anyway for no reason? Amazing. To be honest this was so shitty I completely forgot about what his connection to Tommy even was. Not that it mattered, he basically lost every single fight with Tommy and their 'rivalry' but because he was 'important' he had to survive at the end, so basically Zeltrax spent thirty episodes getting his ass kicked and running away with his tail between his legs. What a fantastic and threatening villain.

And oh yeah, he had a son that one episode because...why the fuck not.

Zeltrax didn't betray Mesogogg for no reason. He betrayed Mesogogg because of White Rangers manipulations and him taking his place as Meso's right hand. And the rivalry between Zel and Tommy lasted more than a few episodes and was just dropped, it lasted through the entire series. Right up until Conner used the Battilizer and tore his ass a new hole. Dino Thunder had some problems. But it's still one of the most solid seasons of Disney's Era, only behind Mystic Force in my opinion.

I've never understood the love for Dino Thunder, Disney did a lot of amazing seasons, but Dino Thunder was not one of them, the whole second half was a anti-climactic mess.

Because Dino Thunder was a good season with good characters and, despite it's flaws, good story. Seeing Tommy again was a treat, the core cast was great, and Trent was an excellent Evil Ranger. [spoiler]While that lasted.[spoiler] Some of it could've been done better, but that's every season of Power Rangers (Yes ZeoV, even Zeo :P). But it wasn't near the atrocity of Ninja Storm or Operation Overdrive.

I'm well aware Zeo has flaws thank you :p
