I think the thing I disliked most about the Kalish era during Power Rangers was that there was always some SUPER BIG BAD GUY at the end that we either 1) didn't know about until the end of the series, or 2) didn't ever have a physical form until the end of the series.
In SPD, it's all about Grumm. Until the final few episodes where we learn of something called The Magnificence, and that's the main bad guy. Huh?
In Mystic Force, it's Koragg, and then it's the Seven Demons or whatever, not to mention some half robot guy, and then FINALLY the Master becomes the main villain ... in the last episode ... and is just basically tentacle porn swapping away at Leonbow and Daggeron.
In Operation Overdrive, I give him credit ... Flurious was there from beginning to end.
But in Jungle Fury, we're back to Dai Shi being the main bad guy, and he's in Jarod's body for a majority of the season, gets out, and is just some CGI/bad puppet.
But look at the seasons people seem to really enjoy (past MMPR).
- Zeo had King Mondo as the main villain, and at the end of the series, the Rangers finally grow big and fight him without their zords.
- Turbo had Divatox actually take the battle to the command center, destroy it, destroy the Power Rangers powers, and then retreat.
- Space had Andros going against Astronema from the first episode to the last episode.
- Galaxy had Trakeena as a major player from start to finish
- Lightspeed Rescue always featured Impus and Bansheera as major enemies
- Time Force had Ransik from start to finish
- Wild Force had Master Org from start to finish
- Ninja Storm had Lothar from start to finish
- Dino Thunder had Mesagog from start to finish
- RPM had Venjix from start to finish
- ......even Samurai had Xandred from start to finish
Introducing a new, super big bad guy at the end of a series cheapens the entire story up to that point. Kind of like a, "Hey, everything we did from the start to now doesn't matter anymore". And while that may work in major dramas and even movies, it doesn't really hold up well in a 30+ episodic series like Power Rangers.
Megaforce bums me out because we're past the halfway mark of the "non-Gokaiger" footage and Vrak is still being made out to be this henchman with a goal ... but he's supposed to be the big bad. Let's get that established already!
