thoughts on return of the green ranger

Just watched the Megaforce Legandary War episode. Boy does that bring me back. I mean let me tell you being a kid watching power rangers on its first airing on fox kids, was AWESOME AS FUCK. I mean you had beetleborgs, then power rangers, tmnt, some other shit I can't remember, then beakmans world to watch every saturday, shit was the bomb back then.

I can see the way kids like the new power rangers. These new Rangers are actually interesting characters. Not just fucking lame imitations of the originals. They have their own unique qualities as rangers and that's what I particularly enjoyed seeing in this episode. This is I'd say almost as good as the SPD era stuff. It boils down to your staight forward power rangers vs big bad guy crap we always see. It really is like the show is stuck in the fucking 90s. Back then power rangers being stupid made sense. Everything in the 90s was stupid and didn't make sense. But we're in a hell of a more sophisticated time now. Why is power rangers still aiming for 5 year olds drinking milk out of a bottle all day?

I was watching it and I liked it but the episode only got good when Tommy showed up. Then my fucking heart melted. To see the green ranger BACK as the green ranger, in his uniform, just floored me. I mean I was there as a kid watching this man go through SO MUCH SHIT.... his story is a tragic one. To see him one last time standing tall and proud as a power ranger, just perfect...

I was kinda pissed he didn't really fight much. But that wasn't the point and even JDF isn't going to bust ass on screen as the Green Ranger anymore since that'd just kinda look ridiculous. But the way they handled it was perfect. I hope this is his last appearance as a ranger.

Sad to say goodbye to the power rangers that I knew and loved with a passion. This show means so much to me. It perfectly encapsulates a HUGE part of a lot of our lives during the 90s. A time period that was truly amazing to behold. As technology got better, movies got better, life got better, people had hopes and dreams and life seemed like it was going forward to new heights imo...
