    Anyone up for a massive marathon of every complete Power Ranger series?

    Nope!

    I mean, I love Rangers and wish I could, but I literally have something resembling a life that prevents it, just by the need for sleep alone.

    I've got everything up to RPM (season 17) on dvd, so I can theoretically accomplish most of that on my own on a schedule that is more beneficial to me.

    Some of the recent FXX Simpsons marathons taught me I'm too old to put much time into nonstop marathons.

    I mean you wouldn't even need the DVDs, everything except the movies is all on Netflix. IIRC they made a long ass deal to keep it all there for at least the next few years.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    Director Dean Israelite wanted a kaiju-like beast that would be a physical manifestation of Rita’s evil instead of a villain with a personality. “Dean and I talked about him being faceless and intimidating and characterless,” production designer Andrew Menzies says. “He’s an extension of Rita that’s unstoppable.”

    Man this encapsulates my concerns with this movie pretty perfectly.

    I keep forgetting it's up there. For some reason I kept thinking they only had the most recently completed season.

    UK Netflix also has the movies.

    ...and despite owning the dvds and now knowing it's on Netflix, I've ended up watching the damn twitch marathon since someone sent me the link a little after it started.

    Figured I'd just have it on in a separate window while working on stuff and then go do something else when I'm done. Instead I've watched six or so episodes in a row.

    Can't stop now, we're only 3-4 episodes away from Tommy's debut. Also Bulk & Skull just got themselves a free airplane ride.

    Wait, wasn't I suppose to get dinner? Oops.

    I've been watching Dino Thunder myself. In spite knowing a considerable amount about it (due to reading up on it as I once thought I wouldn't watch it) I'm quite enjoying it, it's a good cast this season. And in spite hearing the theme song plenty of times before, it really is one of the greats.

    "There's a light/in the distance/see it coming closer/with the force of ages/centuries gone by!"

    Badass.

    One of these days I will probably break down and buy some of those Imaginext toys. They're adorable.

    the thing is that zedd is at least intentionally campy (eventually) which feels like a return to form

    the thing about the zyu2 era is that they spend too much time trying to make the footage work

    Yeah. Yeah that's what we all said 20-odd episode ago. Currently I miss the Zyu2 era.

    Zedd is meant to be menacing early on and it works for just a little bit, but it falls of the rails pretty hard

    Around when he marries Rita they both get really good

    @WeedLordVegeta The problem is that they were trying to make the Actor switch stuff as well as the White Ranger stuff work and they were really really struggling, probably harder than Zyu 2, to make it work

    zedd is not good, at least when he's solo

    maybe rita coming back will bring out the best in him but for where we're at in twa he just kind of growls and shoots lightning

    don't get me wrong, zedd looks fucking badass and everything but at least rita repulsa had style

    So the thing about zedd is that they do a Hard Shift on him because parents were mad about the combination of his appearance and his darker nature

    He gets goofy as hell (which is the zedd everyone remembers)

    Yeah I'm specifically speaking about zedd, who kind of anchors the dhow as they get closer and closer to the switch-offs

    Somewhat, but you also have the following situations:

    1) the rangers cannot fight the monsters in suit, because their suits aren't from dairanger
    2) for most of season 2, Half the Rangers have extremely bad replacement VO in their morphed forms because the actors who play them are gone
    3) At some point, Half the rangers need only recycled footage when on screen because they're already gone from the show
    4) early on, Tommy can't fight the monsters OR the giant versions because his zord isn't in the same footage as the dairanger zords, then when he's back as white ranger he can't be on screen with the other rangers for a long time until they shoot original footage

    So I get where you're coming from but also the stuff they are dealing with are insane hurdles that are genuine real problems with the first half of season 2

    it is still bonkers that they only took the kibaranger suit, dairanger's entire aesthetic is fantastic

    Here's something weird:

    They also take the dairanger battle pose. The rangers start doing their signature poses sometime in the second season and keep it up for most of the arc
