I'll buy it, i love those seasons.

I only really want Time Force from this set, so I'd probably wait/hope for an individual release.

I'm kinda in the same boat as Matrix. All I really want is Lightspeed and Time Force.

But Ninja Storm is awesome!

Eh, I dunno.
Ninja Storm is one of those series I was too afraid to rewatch because I couldn't stand it the first time around.
Then again, I really hate the whole "Surfer bro" character, so having a main cast consisting of all of them is putting me off.
*Puts it on the list of series to rewatch*
This reminds me, I'm only halfway through my Wild Force rewatch. Guess that attests to it's quality

Ninja Storm's only real problem is it never took itself seriously, even Mighty Morphin for all its goofiness knew that a moment of tension and drama was needed from time to time. But overall Ninja Storm made a much better Mighty Morphin' call back than Dino Thunder did, the sentai fights were great and the characters were fun within their limitations, I dug it.

I know the NS fights were pretty fun. I enjoyed them.
But I can't stand the scenes where the characters are chilling out in their normal lives or hanging out at headquarters. If I skipped straight to the fight scenes, I wouldn't really be watching the series.

Strangely enough, I don't think I ever had a problem with Lothor. He was dumb, but I've seen dumber villains (Master Org and General Nazor, anyone?)

I dug 'em, EXTREME jokes aside, I think they are the closest thing Power Rangers has had to real teens, because come on Dino Thunder's teens were in many ways more ridiculous than Mighty Morphin's.

You had Kira singing autotuned pop songs on an acoustic guitar and that was basically the end of her character, minus shitty makeup and wanting to stick it to the man.

Connor was basically just a massive personality vacant douchesack who stood around in tracksuit bottoms with a bad haircut and every now and then he'd get a really rushed and contrived story around him. I am in love with this girl I met thirty seconds of screen time ago, let's save this tree or some shit!

Ethan, he was the nerd right? I don't think the show really established how nerdy he was enough /sarcasm.

Also Trent, the artist, who draws worse than I do and I can't draw. I guess he was pretty teenagery since he had so much ANGST.

[Matrixbeast]

I'm not saying Dino Thunder was any good, or saying that Ninja Storm was worst than DT.
But I do think the NS teens were the most unrealistic set of teenagers this side of MMPR, because motocross, including bike maintenance and gear, is totally something someone can do on a part time job (Not sure if the NS teens were out of high school or not, but I don't believe they had full time jobs considering they had the whole ninja training, then PR thing going on).

No but I use DT as an example because I really can't fathom why a show as poor as that seems to get a free ride, I do sometimes wonder if I'm an alien because the fandoms best of lists are usually the same as my worst of list.

But yeah the whole EXTREME stuff was a little iffy, but they actually felt like teens in their characterisation, attitudes, personalities etc rather than DT's cardboard cut outs and Mighty Morphins depiction of teens from about seventy years before the show aired.
