Mighty Morphin' Volume 4
This is the first time I've ever seriously considered dropping one of these projects.
All of the annoyances of Ryan Parrott's' modern writing style are here and on full display, ontop of the split between the two comics being handled even worse.
Because see, here's the thing. Before, atleast the two comics were still mostly their own stories even if they did still interconnect oddly. Now, with the
Eltarian War
arc, you literally have to go back and forth to not get whiplash from the story.
Add onto that the tendency from
Rogue Sun
, wherein the story actively tries to gaslight the reader about the events that transpired within the comic itself and this just made for a miserable reading experience. I really must know what changed to make the writing quality take such a drastic nosedive.
Now, I know there are readers out there who don't care about plot, or characterization, and are only in these sorts of things to see cool stuff happen. And that's fine. But I do pose one question for you: The only cool thing to even see in this entire volume was the combination of the Dragon and Tiger Zords. Is that worth months of wait?
I sure don't think so, especially when we get an ending as infuriating as this one. If the Emissaries could just rip the Empyreals apart this entire time, why did these entire last two arcs even need to happen? And don't try telling me that the Empyreals needed to be weakened first, because they so didn't, especially given how we're never shown them getting any weaker by some sort of substantial margin. They still fight every bit as fiercly even when the crystal is shattered.
The entire thing just felt like a waste of time ontop of the typical unfulfilling edginess that came along with all aspects of the characters and story. I already compared Ryan Parrott's' run here to his work on
Rogue Sun
, but really, alot of this falls into
Blassreiter
territory too, and the less I need to think about either of those works, the better. I will atleast finish out the
Power Rangers
half of this arc, but after that, I honestly don't know if I'll have the will to keep going. That's how dissatisfied I was with this entire affair.
