[escapism-from-the-real-world]

I had a power ranger RPM thought:

So, the bad guys in power rangers have been pretty good for the most part. Venjix from RPM is genuinely terrifying simply for the fact that he’s killed the majority of the planet, Zander from samurai is a really good bad for bad sake kind of bad guy and he’s a chronic migraine icon, and Jarrod/Dai Shi and Camile from Jungle Fury are my favorite bad guys ever and they are so much fun and all the villains in this show are giving off toxic family drama vibes and sometimes have more interesting plot lines than the heroes.

Lothor from Ninja Storm and Mesagog from Dino Thunder have been alright. They have interesting concepts that I feel like needed a little bit more oomph to be on par with everyone else I’ve seen/remember so far. Mesagog has an amazing character design tho.

ANYWAY, most of the villains have reasons for why they are failing to destroy the rangers despite their best efforts (Zander suffers from constant debilitating migraines that stop him from leading well, Lothor is purposefully losing for later plot reasons, Dai Shi is being held back by Jarrod, Mesagog is being held back by Trent’s dad) but I didn’t really see this kind of reasoning for RPM.

Which is weird because RPM is like, the best power rangers ever and has some really fun interactions/dynamics with villains and heroes, but didn’t have the same “we’re failing because there is X holding us back”

And then I remembered Venjix’s origin story.

He’s a computer program meant to infiltrate and disarm security programs, maybe even destroy them. He’s a computer program made by Dr. K, his direct enemy. Computer programs are only as smart as they are programmed to be.

Venjix can easily get into Corinth, that’s basically his whole programming, but can’t beat the “security team” (aka the rangers) because they are “programmed” beyond what he was designed to destroy.

He keeps losing because he is a computer program with set limitations already in place for him. All his biggest schemes and plans that had the greatest success were thought up by Tenaya in combination with his other generals.

It is a human mind that is progressing his advancements and even then it is held back by his preference for his machines.

Like, that’s really cool. And maybe that wasn’t what they were going for but it works and it’s wonderfully consistent with what we are give about how Venjix works.

I love this show so much.

Mesagog: You still wish to defy me, rangers? I will destroy you!

Conner: You got two legs and a heart beat, what’s stopping you?

Mesagog

Evil and fucking love it | A Whinny psycho | Really Dumb motive | Cool motive still murder | I don’t know enough to rate them | They have a point but they are a dick about it | Road to hell paved with good intentions | They are in the right here | Look if it were me I’d have been So MUCH worse | How are they not the hero? | Yea, I’m routing for the villain.

I'm gonna ignore that you spelled his name wrong...

anyway, listen his motives are "I wanna turn people into fucking dinosaurs. Why? because I wanna turn people into fucking dinosaurs that's why"

he mutated and brainwashed two people and turned them into his evil minions. He almost killed his son. He's got it all tbh.

What if Scenarios: Conner McKnight

What if Connor was captured by elsa?

Mesogog already has one evil ranger why not have a second one? Connor of course wasn’t easy to break but the look of anguish in Dr.Oliver’s eyes as he saw what had become of one of his precious students made it all worth while

It would be during an after school detention where Connor was the only student and Dr.O was not supervising. Elsa would say she wants a word with Connor in her office and take him through the invisaportal there to Mesagog’s layer and when asked would say she had dismissed him to go home and it wasn’t her fault if one of the seniors didn’t go directly home from detention

Unlike Trent who for the most part would be treated like the full threat he is the rest of the team would try and speak to the Connor they know which would be their greatest weakness which a corrupted connor who take full advantage of and deal even worse damage than Trent had possibly permanently injuring Kira or Ethan leading Tommy to a very difficult conclusion

Tommy realizes he is going to have to kill Connor when he next asumes Tommy is going to try and talk him down because the Dino gem would be back out of Mesogog’s claws and they would have one less enemy to fight because if seeing his friends possibly mortally wounded was not enough to bring back Connor nothing would be

Tommy does it he kills Connor and he gets the gem back but he is still missing a red and still missing a student. he doesn’t look for a replacement for Connor he just decides to use the gem as a power source for other weapons but it never leaves the Dino cave again

Trent never fully integrates with the team when he’s returned to good and due to this is only very reluctantly given back his morpher for the final fight and has it taken after they learn the truth about Anton

Anton dies because none of the others will help Trent after he lied

Kira and Ethan remain in close contact with Dr.O after graduation unlike in cannon where they loose track of each other. Trent is not contacted again, his own gem left next to Connor’s to gather dust

Seeing as Jason David Frank passed about a week ago, my headcanons about Tommy Oliver have not left my head. So here are some of my headcanons about Tommy/Kimberly married life.

*Kimberly can NOT cook that well at all. Tommy on the other hand prior to being adopted by the Oliver family started learning to cook at a young age. Even after being adopted, Tommy continued his love of cooking. So during meals or making food for lunches is Tommy's thing. And he is very protective of his kitchen.

*Tommy and Kimberly can almost never agree on a movie to watch. Tommy likes Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Animation. Kimberly however likes Horror, Action, and oddly Westerns. So they usually compromise with Comedy Specials.

*Kimberly always gets a kick about what a huge Anime Nerd Tommy is. Some weekends she'll go down to the house kitchen for breakfast and find her husband has made a full anime style breakfast. These are also the rare times she sees Tommy wearing T-shirts from his favorite Anime. One memorable occasion Kimberly camee in the kitchen to see Tommy dressed up as Ash from Pokemon.

*Tommy and Kimberly almost never eat out except for their birthdays or the anniversary of the day Zordon sacrificed himself.

*When they do eat out they almost always get Greek or Japanese food. On occasion they will get Hawaiian Barbecue.

*Tommy on one occasion did a Pokemon themed event when the Students of Reefside High had to come up with Themed Classrooms for an Open House for the Elementary School students. He cosplayed Professor Elm.

*Just as not being able to agree on movies, Tommy and Kimberly can NOT agree on music. Tommy's playlist is either Anime music, Country Songs, or Techno music. Kimberly likes Rock and Roll, Metal, and Pop. Which Tommy finds hilarious when one of their friends didn't know and find out the Metal CD's are Kimberly's and not Tommy's.

*Both are avid amusement park enthusiasts. After the rains of the Machine Empire was defeated they went to Disneyland. Following Mesagog's defeat they went to Universal Studios in Hollywood.

*Tommy has every Pokemon game made and the consoles to play them. Kimberly is the same with Sonic The Hedgehog. The day that they found that Daggeron could take them to those respective Worlds to visit they bugged him for months before he relented. Tails sees Kimberly as the mother he often wished for. Tommy ended up actually meeting Ash before his Journey. Though he was immensely happy getting a Pikachu egg.

Oh here we go. A meeting of minds

[the-lady-bryan]

some observations i’ve made recently about my kid and power rangers

for context: i own the following on DVD - MMPR 1-3 (including the Alien Rangers arc), Zeo, Turbo the movie, Turbo the season, In Space, Lost Galaxy, RPM, Mystic Force, MMPR: The Movie (1995), Power/Rangers (2017), that one weird Live Show that they did back during MMPR days

also, my kid is 7.

SO! Power Rangers Official has been uploading entire seasons and recently added ALL of MMPR S1 to Youtube. They also have at the time of writing this, the Megaforce and Jungle Fury seasons steaming in full and on a loop. They’ve got a good portion of Dino Thunder posted as well, and some other seasons, too. Well, when I’m sick and too lazy to pull out my DVDs i just hit up Youtube or Dailymotion (for the episodes i can’t find on youtube) and watch Power Rangers to make myself feel better while stuck in bed with a cold or stomach flu or whatever’s wrong with me.

well, my son’s decided to climb up in bed with me and curl up and watch it with me.

last weekend and earlier this week, i’ve been sick with a wicked cold after getting over an even more wicked stomach flu that lasted about 5 days. so i’ve been watching A LOT of Power Rangers recently. as a result here’s a bunch of cute things my kid does that i’ve noticed...

the moment he hears “After 10,000 years I’m free!” he comes running into the room from wherever he is in the house. kid literally drops whatever he’s doing and runs in to jump up on the bed and settle in.

he loves the zord fights more than anything else

he tries to physically fight goldar. i have to keep him from punching my monitor or throwing my laptop because he really hates that guy and wants to hit him so badly every time he fights the red ranger. when it’s on the TV, he will get up, slap the TV, shout “bad doggie!” and then get back on the bed.

he shouts “oh no!” every time the putties, tengu bird things, cogs, and other henchmen show up. he does this without fail every time.

when it’s putties, he also starts making the same noises they do and then giggles about it.

when the zords are animals he’s like “raaaaaawwwwrrrrr!” when they’re cars he’s like “VROOOOOOOM!”

after Tommy, Kat, and Co. give their powers to TJ and the rest in the Turbo season, he refuses to watch the rest of the season. i have tried to get him to finish watching it with me, but he throws a fit, gets up, and leaves. or he’ll slam my laptop closed before storming off. it really makes him mad.

he doesn’t get mad about In Space for some reason though despite most of the rangers being the same people from the rest of Turbo.

he annoys me while watching the 1995 movie until i begin quoting Ivan Ooze dialogue at him. after which he shouts “hiyah!” and pretends to karate chop my arm. he does this for the whole damn movie after ivan ooze first turns up. if i don’t play along, he slams my laptop closed or turns off the DVD player in a huff.

he will watch the 2017 movie but only because he likes the music. when there’s not music playing, he goes off and colors or something else. the moment music he likes comes back on, he comes back to watch.

also from the 2017 movie, he likes billy the best, and will carry around the blue ranger figure he stole from me. (he also stole my pink and red rangers from this movie, too. but he only carries the blue one around.) he gets really upset - like full on ugly “its the end of the world” cry with snot everywhere - when billy dies and i now have to skip that part and go straight to the part where he’s alive again.

he only watches RPM for the zord fights.

he’s not fond of Lost Galaxy or Mystic Force.

he yells at Mesagog during Dino Thunder. his favorite thing to yell is “BAD DINO!” and swat the tv or my computer with his coloring book like he’s swatting a bad dog for pissing on the carpet or something. he will also sometimes yell at Trent when he’s evil. when he yells at trent, it’s unintelligible shouting. after trent is no longer evil, he will sit and say sometimes “i’m not doing anything bad”.

he now also says “i’m not doing anything bad” during MMPR where tommy is the white ranger. - i think he’s come to associate this phrase with all white rangers at this point.

every time Tommy is shown in the opening credits for Dino Thunder, he claps his hands and shouts “YEAH BOY!” and then goes back to whatever it was he was doing once the open credits are done.

Dino Thunder specifically - if he looks like he’s not paying attention, he actually is. and if i turn off the episode or pause it, he gets mad and yells until i turn it back on/unpause it. then he’ll go back to looking like he’s ignoring the thing.

he doesn’t care much about Samurai, but Ninja Steel is one that makes him lose his shit. he fucking loves those ninja stars.

what we’ve seen so far of Dino Fury - the moment he sees the T-Rex zord in the opening, he’s right there, nose to the screen, clapping excitedly. he also tries to use my broom as a sword while the episodes are on. this has caused a broken window and quite a few lumps on my head when i haven’t been able to get it from him fast enough and replace it with a much less deadly wrapping paper tube.

even in seasons where Alpha in any form is NOT there (so everything post-zordon era) when robots are shown other than zords and megazords he shouts “ai-yai-yai!” - this was fine... until seasons with lots and lots of robots as bad guys.
