Turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride. That's what I try to do.

Super Megaforce is maybe a show I actually would have a decent amount to say about? It was sort of a guilty pleasure for me when it aired, being, make no mistake, a pretty bad show, but in a way that kept my attention to a level that makes me feel, well... guilty! Like, intellectually speaking as someone passionate about the genre, I know I was/am supposed to be mourning the tragedy of the potential Power Rangers hasn't been realizing since Samurai, but for Super Megaforce specifically, I was way too busy being entertained to care. Sometimes in ways that were intentional, and often times in ways that weren't, but it was all part of the same fun. When there were extremely questionable creative choices being made in the production, I mostly found it amusing, and when the show could surprise me with stuff like the genuine humor of a character like Vekar, I also found it amusing.

It was far from a great time for Power Rangers, but it was a pretty great time for me watching Power Rangers, and I'll always have a soft spot for it because of that.

oh my gosh a show fish doesnt like

Glad you're gonna be reading along! Yeah, it's weird when people say that SMF is a show that no effort put into it. Because granted, technically true, but like...

At the same time, it is clear with certain aspects, like the writing of Vekar, the editing in episode 13, and the photoshopping they did to remove certain Sentai aspects, there were atleast some people on staff who were trying. But, well, we all know the stories of the behind the scenes nonsense that went on.

I still cant think of anything good to say about the season, but it's amazing to hear it anyway. I like to think that there's something to like in almost any show, and the people here seem to show that pretty clearly.

On an unrelated note, since this thread is about watching Power Rangers, the two (non MMPR) seasons left on Netflix are also the ones I haven't watched yet, so I should probably watch them now, huh?

Yeah Fish is Resident Contrarian of the board, and we love him for it. Can't wait until I finally get around to watching Wizard because of it.

And yeah! People like to rag on Ninja Steel, but I found myself enjoying it quite a bit. Especially its first season. Hope you enjoy it too!
