Personally, Gekiranger being an ode to kung fu flicks is one reason it's in my top 10. You don't see a lot of shows these days that pay tribute to the Five Venoms by the Shaw Brothers or the voice talents who were the go-to for Japanese dubs of certain kung fu flick stars. They just did such an exceptional job embedding kung fu flick easter eggs like those, and let's not forget where they got the idea for the core three ranger suits.

I am now up to episode 23 on my Shinkenger rewatch and I am already a couple of episodes away from reaching the show's official halfway point. I will definitely say, like Boukenger before it, I did find the series a bit more enjoyable to revisit thanks to the much better English subtitles I was able to watch Shinkenger on this time around.

Started watching Dynaman. Well, this show definitely deserves its reputation as an explosive sentai. And in general, it is much more action-oriented, even compared to most tokusatsu. Battles take up most of the episodes and even the characters are developed primarily in them. But at the same time, the show constantly emphasizes that its characters are not only warriors, but also scientists. Let them look more like popularizers of science than real scientists. Overall, I like the inherent comedy of the project. Everything is very simple, naive, but at the same time fascinating. The Salamander clan are also quite interesting as villains.
I also can’t help but miss this comment under the Dynamen’s film:

Quote:

Dynaman Supports Terrorism
3:27 Man commits terrorist acts against humanity
Literally shot a rocket at a city full of innocent men, women and children all now burning to death in pure agony
3:37 Also he was smiling in pure evil oblivious to all the pain and suffering he has caused to many people dead or alive while bragging about the power of his weapon of mass destruction about how he clearly destroyed that building
24:45 Literally enjoying life like he never did it at all while he gets away with all the bloodshed he caused by his terrorist act
25:35 Dynamen, heroes of justice laughing as they just let a man who killed so many innocent people get away with murder

Well, first of all, I accepted the MMPR logic here: “It was an office building on a public holiday, so no one got hurt.” Again, the fact that the film uses footage of the explosion from the first episode, but there is no subsequent footage of the panicking crowd, confirms this.
Secondly, terrorism, like terror, is illegal aggressive actions aimed primarily at intimidating the group against which they are being carried out. Otherwise, it is not terrorism.Since the doctor demonstrated his weapon to potential buyers, his actions cannot be classified as terrorism. But what the salamander people were going to do with the help of this bazooka was quite complete. But since he didn’t know who exactly he was doing business with, he couldn’t even be prosecuted for aiding terrorism. Although, of course, it is strange that the doctor did not suffer any consequences for his actions. At a minimum, he is guilty of material damage on an especially large scale and creating a life-threatening situation.
