RJ held his role strong in Power Rangers Jungle Fury, with it strengthening even further as he donned Ranger powers. We need to delve into what prompted this, and how his character evolved over time!

The wolf ranger has muay thai ropes on his forearms which is why he never used weapons because in muay thai, the eight limbs are your weapons. This is depicted better in his fighting style since he mostly uses low kicks, high knees and elbows. His zord is also a blade on the shin which I think is another beautiful homage to muay thai.

Usually mentor characters in fiction are people past their prime, only on the team for a short active time, joins the fray late in a series' run or ends up KIA when they d but not RJ. He's the fourth member of the team, joins the team at Episode 16 out of 32, has more episodes as a Purple Ranger than Dom has as a White Ranger and doesn’t die at any point.

@nyhtfall1969 4 месяца назад

@Fictionist10101 4 месяца назад

What i ADORE about mentor characters is when they themselves needs to grow aswell which is interesting to see them give wisdom while also said wisdom isn't necessarily the best & obsolete to give somebody that's one of the reasons that makes me like rj this much. He's laid back & chill but also a force to be wrecking with. He also grows & and learns alongside his students. He's also very casual & and young, which is a clever subversion of expectations.. if only the intro didn't spoil everything for us!

@nyhtfall1969 4 месяца назад

Rj is absolutely incredible I love how they write him I never realized the parrelel between that scene in sonic force's and Rj in jail but unlike sonic forces. The joviel nature of Rj doesn't break and destroy his jail scenes nor try making attemps at unfunny cringe comedy its just Rj trying to make the best of a bad situation and the episode one master too many serves as an excellent Rj and casey focus episode. Something I appreciate with this season is that RJ joins much later in the series as opposed to later it might not seem like much but this is the longest a season pr has gone with just 3 rangers and I feel like thats really great cause it really helps us get the time to appreciate the main 3 rangers Rj's inclusion feels so seemless because he's played a role in mentoring the 3 in prior episodes plus also getting time to know him as a character its masterful.

One of the things I liked about him as a child is that he could operate the first megazord all on his own when the three unlocked their second zords. It didn't take me long to understand, even as a child, that since he was their first mentor, he would know how to use their first zords.

I find it interesting how the core three get their master mode before the other two rangers show up, which makes their debuts feel very late-but I believe Time Fire is still the latest ranger debut excluding cases like the successors of the Kyoryuger Spirit Ranger (Cyan and Graphite in Dino Charge, but those suits debuted in the first half of the show so they technically weren't brand new, just new users), one-offs like Ryusoul Brown and Deka Bright/Nova, or post-series content
