This man speaks the truth!

Plus, it's Amy Jo Johnson. She was rocking short shorts and Pink Spandex 20 years before Christina Masterson.

Honestly me either, it's early days on my Mighty Morphin rewatch but she is inconsistently written and violently shifts from prissy bitch to hippy moron and I can't stand her either time. Maybe she gets better later in the show. I don't really remember.

She does.

It's a shame most people's memories of MMPR are the first season where everyone was about as interesting as if thay were all played by turtles.

Kimberly wasn't a great character, but she was pretty good and lasted the second longest of the original team, so she had a lot of stories about her to flesh her out.

Well I'm on season one and I love Zack who seems to know how very 'black character as written by a white man who has only had exposure to black culture through popular media' his character is and yet leaps at it with such vigour that it is just awesome. He really is the king of swag.

Jason is the kid who is normally the school bully and they've kept every aspect of the school bully in his character...but then made him a nice person and it's actually fun in how much his character works even though it really shouldn't.

The other three though...eh. They are defined by things rather than a cohesive character aka the oriental one who hates pollution and heights, Trini. the end. Billy is 'the nerd'. Full stop.

And Kimberly is well...I just said.

That's a very reasonable and accurate assesment of the season 1 MMPR cast.

ljacone · 07-01-2013, 06:58 PM

The first third of Season 1 maybe...

I had written this up for Saturday but family matters caused me to be away from the PC for most of Sunday and then work on Saturday so my apologies that this one popped up late at night!!

The 18th selection? Well, lets just say 4 of the 9 members of this team made it in to the Top 20, topped only by, obviously a team that had 5 out of 9 make it. That's 45% of our top 20 made up by 2 series. One is Saban, the other is Disney. Biggest surprise is in our Top 10 though, I was surprised he ranked so high up!
