    But can Tenga Warriors be Baptized?

    Yes, but they dissolve in holy water, so it's sort of a self-defeating process.

    Well that just raises the question of whether Baptismal water is inherently holy water.

    If someone is Baptized in a river, does the entire river become holy, or just the immediate water surrounding the Baptism?

    I dunno about actual religious dogma, but the way I see it, baptism itself is a holy act, so the specific water used would be made, at least, temporarily holy in the process. You probably couldn't kill a vampire with baptismal water after the fact, but I would imagine that the water used, at the moment of baptism, would count.

    It's worse than the second half of Turbo!

    It's not as bad as Turbo A Power Rangers Movie.

    Also it has unbelievable implications re: canon in the Power Rangers universe.

    Because the Turtles and the Rangers mutually believe each other to be fictional.

    So I guess Shredder lifting New York into the sky or whatever and Angel Grove being repeatedly shredded to pulp doesn't make news cycles coast to coast.

    And yes I realize I'm basically lighting up the morphing grid signal by saying that I KNOW.

    In fairness, there are many instances of new rangers not believing rangers/monsters are real, despite how insane that becomes after 10 years or whatever

    It's a massive step up from Turbo for sure, though I don't know why they kept Elgar of all possible henchmen. WHY? WHY NOT RYGOG? WHY NOT RITO? WHY NOT MOTHERFUCKING GOLDAR?

    Also if someone were to take In Space and replace the audio in every single instance of Andros opening his mouth with Hanson's "Mmmbop", I, I would watch that.

    If you need a palette cleansing from the TMNT side, I've been watching the 2012 CG series and have been enjoying it.

    Best Splinter by far.

    Turbo was pretty bad.

    But the bit where Divatox calls Rita in the middle of the night for advice on beating the Power Rangers is the best thing.

    Nah not really. The assembled Evil of the Universe seems obsessed with destroying The Power Rangers as an entity and have very little interest in destroying them as people.

    It mostly looks like a turf war against Zordon by that point, if we're being honest.

    I ask because I rewatched the scene where bulk and skull find out who the power rangers are finally

    And I still really like it but like

    They don't actually have any connection to the In Space team, and they act like its the people they've always known

    That always happens. By the time Bulk and Skull become humans again in Turbo literally every Power Ranger is someone they've never met

    and they still act like old buddies

    With this active again, I think I'll remind everyone here that the History Of Power Rangers webseries by Linkara is now currently caught up to Megaforce if you want to see his opinions are on that dragged-out trainwreck. He's also doing touch-ups of the earlyl episodes to make them more Youtube-friendly since they were initially hosted on Blip. The first season's redo can be found below.

    Here's 11 minutes of gameplay from the Platinum TMNT game:
    https://youtu.be/qx6e3gxSoJ4

    Highlights:
    -All 4 turtles run around and fight on-screen at all times
    -Character switching mid-combo
    -Climb buildings and ninja-parachute whenever you want
    -Rail grinding
    -Over the shoulder shuriken throwing
    -Cutscene mocap is hilariously Japanese

    Lifting New York...?

    Wasn't really a thing here. The crossover was with Next Mutation, which was something of a largely Shredder-less (they write him out early on, bring him back later but never got to go anywhere with it) pseudo-continuation of the movies.

    I was tempted to put this in the Tokusatsu thread since it's more active, but it seems to be a purely Power Ranger thing, rather than Sentai:

    They finally released some info on that Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Mega Battle game that was announced a while back

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsLDrgGjyOA

    Some interesting redesigns, although sexy Rita is an odd choice.

    Jason Biggs has a nsfw twitter and Nick fired him after linking to it. They injure Leos throat at the end of season 2 and use it as an excuse to change VAs.

    Seth is fine imo. Definitely not worth giving up on the show

    It's very 90s beat-em-up looking. It will probably be a discount digital title, which is too bad, since the concept could have made for a fun Musou type game.

    It had better be very 90's beat-em-up. That's, like, the entire point of the game. Its raison d'être, as it were.

    I'll still probably get it, as long as it's not expensive. I haven't played a good beat em up in a while.
