Yes, I know it's Monday. Yes, I know I've
missed a few posts. But it was a matter of life and death...
Ah, no, it totally wasn't. I was just watching 'Chuck' and I lost track of time. A lot of time. Which, oddly enough, brings me to my next post. Continuing the theme of the last few weeks, we'll be looking at the TV show I used to love as a kid.
Ok, I still love it.
Hail Friends, this is Drakai of the House of Nidhogg, and today I'm talking about the Power Rangers. All the Power Rangers. But we'll start with the first team.
The Legacy of Power began in the 90's. 1993 to be precise, adapting footage from 'Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger', a Japanese show that was apparently even more crazy then the American one. I actually never saw the show, so I don't know firsthand. It featured a group of five overbearing and over-emotional humans. Yes, teenagers. Interesting choice, all things considered.
The show focused on an evil witch trying to take over a small town in California (I think... it's been a while) by sending one monster per weak and then growing said monster at the end of the episode whilst being beaten by five color-coded teenagers.
It was a strange show now that I think about it. But a very fun one.
A couple of episodes in a new threat emerged in the form of another color-coded teenager who was brainwashed by said witch with the help of an evil sword to be a counterpart to the good team. He then proceeded to kick their collective asses. Then they un-brainwashed him and he became the greatest ranger ever.
Of course Tommy's the greatest ranger. There's absolutely no doubt about that.
Then there was another villain, and a few more, and then they started changing up the team lineup each season like the Japanese show. And that was ok. Some of them were better, and some were... Turbo.
But surprisingly 'Mighty Morphin' is actually not my favorite season. It was a more modern season, the second season under Disney's control, came out in 2004. The season was called 'Dino Thunder' and it featured the return of Tommy Oliver. This time with a PhD in paleontology.
Oh, and there were some others in the team, I guess.
