Looking at the Power Rangers franchise with a critical eye. Breaking down the episodes, toys, special effects and the movies. I also review forgotten media, TV series, and movies. In my other series FTV, and What Went Wrong.
The 1st half of Turbo would've been fine with Rocky and Aisha there instead of Justin and Tanya despite how good Tanya is but Justin just ruined it. The 2nd half of the season was surprisingly good and has some of the best episodes because of TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley.
I will say this, i loved that they used the Turbo Megazord suit for the movie. And Divatox's epic cleavage lol At least Turbo introduced TJ and the rest, coz they really proved themselves in Power Rangers in Space. Justin was the Wesley Crusher of Power Rangers. I grew up on TNG, so it kinda sucked to go thru that again with Turbo.
Sadly,Power Rangers Turbo Was Doomed To Failed Because Gekisou Sentai Carranger Was A Parody Season Of The Super Sentai Franchise Which Was Full Of Slapstick Comedy From All The Characters, The Heroes, The Villains And The Supporting Characters, But Got Serious When The Fighting Began At The Regular And Mecha Battles, Plus Most Of The Writers Of Power Rangers Turbo Were Divided How To Make The Show Nature, Some Writers Wanted The Show Light Hearted Like The Sentai But The Other Half Of Writers Wanted Dark And Serious And We Know How That Turn Out.Also With Other Bad Decisions That People In Charge Of The Show Made Like The Following, Divatox As The Main Villain Who Was Annoying And A Weak Version Of Rita Repulsa,Elgar Who Incredibly Stupid And Unfortunately Show Up In Power Rangers In Space,The Rangers Chasing After Divatox's Bombs Like A Bomb Squad, They Are Super Heroes Not A Bomb Squad.Plus Everything Familiar Was Gone In This Series,Zordon And Alpha 5 Left The Rangers, Ernie Was Not At The Youth Center Anymore And The Original Turbo Rangers-Tommy,Adam,Tanya And Katherine Left The Team To Moved On With Their Lives In The Future After Choosing Their Replacements For The New Team,Plus The Sad Truth About Justin Is He Was Used To Bring In Younger Viewers To The Show Because Most Viewers Were Watching Big Bad Beetleborgs Instead Power Rangers Turbo And Many Power Rangers Fans Would Have Loved It If Rocky Had Been The Blue Turbo Ranger Instead Of Justin,The Bright Spot Of Power Rangers Turbo Is The Four New Rangers-TJ,Carlos,Ashley And Cassie Would Go On To Be Space Power Rangers With Andros And Zhane In Power Rangers In Space.
My fix for Turbo is for the Turbo team to be introduced in Zeo, and become the main focus of the Turbo movie, have the plot be the Zeo rangers get captured by Divatox to be sacrificed to Maligore, and the Turbo team has to rescue them, the Zeo powers would be drained by Maligore and the Zeo team couldn't use the Turbo powers after they were corrupted by Maligore, thus the Turbo team has to take their place, starting fresh
Power Rangers had been on a steady decline since season 3. While Zeo is popular with the fans it was quite a step down in ratings and toy sales. I don't think we can lay all the blame all on Turbo. If anything we can thank the second half of Turbo is starting the clawback in ratings when the new Rangers took over.
The problem started with the second half of Ohranger. Japan had a terrorist attack in 1995 so they decided to make Ohranger less serious in the latter half and make Carranger more lighthearted.
I'm actually a big fan of Turbo. Turbo on a nutshell felt like an example of change and transition, swapping from what we knew to an entirely new wave of Power Rangers. The suits were great, the characters I liked, Divatox was super effective in the finale, and not for nothing? That morphing sequence still gives me chills, it's so good.
I've seen Dairanger and Gokaiger through, had trouble getting all of Kyuranger and Kakuranger, though, but I must say, even though I grew up with Power Rangers, even saw Series 2's first episode when it first aired here in the UK, I much prefer Super Sentai! Series 2 doesn't hold a candle to Dairanger! I never had a problem watching subbed, so I'm okay with the foreign language, so I love the idea of being able to get so many Super Sentai on DVD! Now, actually getting them...
I was one of those kids still watching and wondering why no else in school still liked power Rangers. P.s the female villain's pin up is a good visual to show when talking about what they couldn't use in power Rangers
Turbo should have been the starting point to focus on a new ranger team because I believe that Zeo would have been a good conclusion for the MMPR team, while Turbo opened up a new beginning.
The 1st half of Turbo would've been fine with Rocky and Aisha there instead of Justin and Tanya despite how good Tanya is but Justin just ruined it. The 2nd half of the season was surprisingly good and has some of the best episodes.
0:12 given, how GoGoV still used tape to master the show, it would be less noticable. I would like to see the Carranger-Timeranger quality comparason, with the footage used in PR. Because the Carranger-Timeranger show can look very poor, compared to PR.
They probably should of never adapted Car Ranger into Turbo. Instead they could of used JetMan or just use the Car Ranger Zords & keep the Zeo suits. Oh well but RPM shows that you can make a good show even with wacky source materiel, they just did not take the time to. Thanks for the overview thus far.
7:25, Turbo's original cast, started with the left wrist, which is why we see the morpher appear, the later cast, go the other way, without showing the morpher appear.
Saban said in a interview they did to relate to kids Blake said he was a fan of the series to he was trying out for another movie after all the hate he still gets he would never do it
Oh if you're looking for a forgotten 90s show to review, how about Mighty Ducks: the animated series? It's really good in a cheesy 90s way and I think you'll like it
These types of videos are extremely informative however the only thing that would have helped me more was showing clips as examples while you are explaining the weapons and finishing moves. Still love the videos. Keep up the good work.
My favorite timelines are the three timelines. When were Claire goes over the ravine the one word doc meets her at the train station and stops that from happening. The last one where Marty shows up and distracts stock so she still goes off the ravine but they save her life last second.
What about the timeline where he gave Cody Wilson the idea to run for mayor originally he got that idea from somewhere else. Also Chuck Berry party invented rock and roll before Chuck Berry versus when Chuck Berry got to it first.
People seem to not realize that and Hulk and the Agents of Smash was a strictly for kids 📺 series, therefore, it had to be nonsensical and not that complicated for the kids to understand, unlike Avengers Assemble which was more adult oriented. By the , l think that the Spiderman and Guardians Of The Galaxy series were also for kids.
Crybabies...all of you...this movie wasn't bad at all. I had a couple issues with it, but overall it was a great continuation to the Christopher Reeves franchise. My biggest gripe with it is Lois becoming pregnant. He wiped her memory in Superman II, so how does she think she got pregnant by Kal?
This is one of the reasons I hated NBC. They seemed to follow the same model as FOX network. And to this day NBC and Fox have occasionally produced great sci fi shows but would produce these shows like they could care less about whether they would stay on the air or not often times they would start off great then the studio would lose interest and purposefully sabotage these shows and they were lucky if they survived one season. And it’s quite a list of shows that were done this way over the years on both networks.
