Power Rangers Volume 4
Zed's Dead? I like their music!
Stupid joke aside, I'm honestly not too sure what more I can say about the nature of this arc that I haven't already said in the last update.
Because all of the issues that Ryan Parrott's' current writing style bring to the table are still ever prevalent here. And none of the provided context that was missing from the previous volume make anything any better. Worse, infact!
Like, it's been a jab up until now, but now I honestly am convinced that Grace is Parrott's' waifu. And the overall constant muddling of characterization and details made me really start to question if the supposed editor of these stories actually even exists, let alone doing their job.
Grace up there is the worst of it, but there are so many moments where characters speak out of character, or where a plot point is just completely pulled out of thin air in order to get the desired ending. The story can't even keep alot of its own themes straight to the point that I got really frustrated. Heck, wanna know how the Blue Emissary is somehow still alive?
No real reason, honestly. Made even worse with a later panel inwhich Parrott might as well have slapped on an editor's' note directly telling the reader that he just pulled the Emissary's' survival completely out of his ass. And don't even get me started on how mishandled I felt Zordon has been all throughout the arc; with his battle body being the ultimate symbol of not actually understanding him as a character or why he was important.
And of course there's the retconning. Parrott can add in a cute reference all he wants. That doesn't change the fact that with all of the retcons that these comics have introduced, a good chunk of the
In Space
finale now literally cannot happen. Once again I must ask if anyone at Hasbro knew anything about the franchise and how to keep details on characters and continuity straight, because the more time goes on the more that I seriously start to doubt it. And if there was, where the heck were they when it came to overseeing this project?
Honestly? Truly? I think I'm done with these comics. I might return one day, I might not. I honestly don't know. But with how frustrating they've become to read, I just can't stand them right now. And frankly, unlike many other Toku fans, I refuse to continually ingest poison via content and stories that I'm really not into. It's a waste of everyone's' time. Mine especially.
So if this is the end, then I'm sorry things had to go out like this. If you've been reading along this entire time, then I thank you for your time and patience, and hopefully my other works will be just as, if not more, to your liking.
