So i am watching the Megaforce xmas episode and realize the monsters from the clips are rather bland and forgetable. In fact I cant remember a single one in the past several seasons. Whiger from Jungle Fury(if only because he had a multi episode arc) but before that was season 1 and 2. EyeGuy and Soccerdillo.
So who are your memorable monsters of the week?

Do the Psycho Rangers count? Because those were one of the highest points of the entire series for me. I remember that I was legitimately scared of them when I first saw the episodes as a kid.

Other than that, I guess Pudgy Pig always sticks in my mind, both for the fact that his was one of the first episodes I saw and that his design was one of the most ridiculous ones.

Hydro hog is still on my mind after so many years.

I'm with Brainy. The Psycho Rangers. Including Pink from Lost Galaxy, they lasted two seasons. And were perfect as villians. They had a clear motive, they were awesomely VO'd, and the best Evil Rangers we'd ever gotten in a series.

Other than that I'd go back to the original seasons. Phirantishead (Who's name I just butchered). And his boss. Lord Zedd. He wasn't a monster of the week, I know. But he was the first original American Made villian. And I hate they dumbed him down after his first appearance because of complaining parents. When he turned around on his throne, Python that became his staff, all menacing.. Goosebumps.
But if we're doing true MOTW I'd have to go back even further. Lokar. The all-powerful giant floating head in the sky with his Mutitis creature. I loved him so much. Especially when he paired with the awe-inspiring Cyclopsis.

God those original couple seasons had awesome villians.

I dunno if I'd count the psychos as MOTWs personally, since they had a dedicated arc and all.

For me I always go to these four - Pudgy pig, Eye Guy, King Sphinx and Shellshocker. Those have always been my favourites and probably always will.

How about that blue guy from Time Force that was a petty theif that wanted to be frozen again just so he didn't have to worry about food and shelter?

[decepticusprime]

Ah yes Pirantishead, i loved his VA.
Exactly my point, everyone you have all mentioned is pretty much early season monsters. why is it the monsters we gotten the last several years are totally forgettable

[Kamen Rider Meteor]

Knasty Knight always sticks out as a cool one. i always liked his look and his action figure.

[MidoGreen]

For me I'd have to say Pumpkin Rapper. Might be slightly colored by the fact that's the first full episode of MMPR I can remember watching, but the sheer zaniness of him is very memorable. Others that come to mind are Pudgy Pig(because it showed up more than once IRC?), Slippery Shark(I'm a fan of sharks), and Pirantis Head(because he was in the start of season 2).

Thats how I feel.

Zordon Era (MMPR 1-3) had rememberable villians. Lokar, Cyclopsis, Vampiris, Goldar, Scorpina, EyeGuy, Phrantishead, Scarlet Sentinel.
Neo-Zordon (Zeo - In Space) had some okay ones. The Psycho Rangers are the only ones I could name for you.
Post-Zordon (Lost Galaxy - Wild Force) I couldn't name a villian from if my life depended on the answer.
Disney (Ninja Storm - RPM) didn't have anything memorable either. Jungle Fury had a couple, I think.
Neo-Saban (Samurai - Megaforce) is the same way. I adore Megaforce, and Goseiger, and the only one I could name is Vrak and Metal Alice off the top of my head. That's all.

Villians have gone from becoming the driving force of plot to just there so the good guys show off what toys you can buy.
