Oh, so Ninja Steel basically exists to blindside me on what monsters they'll be using for each episode. Alright.

"Hey, we got an episode where everyone gets addicted to gaming, only this is a DEADLY GAME!"

HOLY SHIT, THEY'RE BACKDOOR-PILOTING A KAMEN RIDER EX-AID ADAPTATION?!

"Featuring Game Goblin as the monster!"

Nevermind.

VIDEO GAMES ARE EVIIIIIIIIIIIIL!!

I think they wouldn’t be so stupid as to attack an entire medium, especially one their franchise is still making stuff for.

I mean, the show has had better morals, so I'm willing to actually see what they do with it.

There is a high probability of things going HORRIBLY wrong though

The morals presented in Ninja Steel are just so forced and on the nose by having the characters being so overly stupid when it comes to their "issues". "Cheating is bad", "Rushing work is bad", "Not listening is bad", "Fighting is bad", "Lying is bad", "Destroying stuff is bad", etc. which as I stated before an indication on the producers treating their audience like toddlers. I even once joked why don't they just do a 90s style after episode PSA because a lot of these episodes feels like having a PSA being the real payoff.

Agreed, about treating audience like toddlers.

Where are the killer, more well written plots. Where is the good voice acting and attitude.

EVERY POWER RANGER since Overdrive have bland personalities. The closest to having one was Antonio from Samurai. Everyone is bland and cannot act. This is on top of the poor scripts and dialogues.

The villains also suffer from being bland and uninspiring.

I think teaching morality is good, but the story needs to be wrapped and acted better. Seeing how NIck has destroyed the TMNT, makes me think this is where PR is headed in the near future since Nick has control a few more years.

I find the Red Ninja Steel Ranger just like the Red Megaforce ranger...just a bland mess. Usually, leaders have a deep booming voice; instead we get a beta sounding red ranger each and every time it seems.

Remember Jason was the leader because he was the best fighter technically...thus the strongest character?

Remember Red Light-speed Ranger was the leader because he was most sure of himself and had the skillset to follow suit?

Red Mystic force ranger had the best skill set, defined look and personality.

The PR story team has really made power rangers almost unwatchable. Maybe they are targeting toddlers at this point and forgetting their KEY demographic, those close to teen males who buys their merch and the adults who can afford them.

I mean, sorry, but liking the Mystic Force Red Ranger just kind of instantly makes me not trust your opinions. Nick was absolutely terrible as a character. And you're also saying that no other season past Mystic Force when Jungle Fury, RPM, and Dino Charge do actually have well defined characters. I'd argue Ninja Steel does too.

And I know that Ninja Turtles comment was most likely meant for Rise of the Ninja Turtles, but you're forgetting about how the last cartoon, the actually serious one, was an absolute mess with unlikable characters.

So, I guess I'll be the first one to talk about this episode post airing? Okay then.

-Uh that's an individual thing for the game? What year is this 1990? Did Tiger Electronics make Game Goblin?
-Hehe a Pokemon Ultra Sun Ultra Moon ad ran during commercial.
-Okay if they have time to cram in Victor and Monty antics, they should have no trouble with Kyuranger's cast size.
-Mick continues to be the second best thing in the show after the theme song.
-Quick cycle through the toys to defeat him! Too bad we have to buy whole nother megazord sets to do that. @^%& you and good riddence Bandai America.
-Oh and the game goblin curse was real. Actually I think Cosmo rocks that look. Oh and intergalactic ninjas. Well if they are even one tenth as good as the Psycho Rangers this show is saved.
-They aren't one tenth as good as the Psycho Rangers, are they?
-I don't know why they didn't keep the monsters being Yokai. They could have claimed the show was teaching kids about Japanese culture and slapped an Educational on it.

That would depend on the manner of which they execute the concept, not that the idea itself is stupid. That media can be used to manipulate/control people is not only plausible, it happens in reality. In fact I might dare say those who scoff at the idea are among the influenced.

How was it a mess and besides Casey Jones, who was an unlikable character?

True the concept is not bad and if this was say Dino Charge the execution would probably be decent. But this is Ninja Steel and other shows like this never seem to get it right. At least as far as I can remember.

I mean, their Ninninger counterparts never actually even show up together, and only one of them was even that cool to begin with. So, them being on screen all at once is marginally an upgrade!
