But then, on the other hand, I went and looked up the scene where Troy tells a brainwashed Robo Knight HE HAS A MISSION TO FULFILL!!!!! and then goes Super Saiyan to punch great justice back into him, and I'm also wondering how anyone could ever hate this series!

What would've made that scene even better is if Troy's' original backstory had been included in the final product. Speaking of which...

It's a lot of effort being put into the wrong places, is maybe the best way to sum up the issues.

I think my biggest sticking point is when I heard the main cast was apparently futilely pushing to have scripts that did more with their characters, and that's a shame, because even to this day, I still think that was an exceptionally charismatic cast (give or take a Troy), and with how much they elevated the generally weak material they were given, it's a bummer they couldn't get more to work with.

Yeah, it's so weirdly backwards. Because Troy's' actor, Andrew Gray, is actually a good actor! Like, check out his social media sometime. He's uploaded other acting bits and audition takes he's done and he does a good job! So if anything I blame directing on this one.

As well, apparently an episode's' worth of material going into Troy's' backstory was filmed, but never actually included. Like apparently he was born being directly connected to the Morphing Grid, and his father was absentee among other things.

Just... man. People have done entire essays about how SMF could've been done better, but if nothing else, the people I feel the most for are the actors and James W. Bates, who wrote alot of the better aspects of the show.

That all aside though, do I feel it was a total wash? No. It still has some good stuff about it, it's just... man, what coulda been, ya know?
