Power Rangers Ninja Storm positives

It has an audience. The actors were directed right and portrayed valley, motocross people quite well in a time when Rocket Power was popular. (Take notes Nickelodeon.) It commercially made sense, albeit I prefer the Judd Lynn era.The bad guy was a human. A human with ninja powers, but a human nonetheless.

One of the new Bulk and Skull made it into Dino Thunder. A shame they didn't carry over to Mystic Force. (Get out of here, Leelee!) Made sense for SPD, considering it was 25 years in the future. (Makeup? Not like Disney didn't have!)

I found Lothar, Marah and Kapri quite funny at times. Maybe it was cuz I was tired and wasn't a morning person, but I laughed.

I really didn't like Chuubo's design, but he surprised fans with his ability to beat the Rangers later.
Sargaine meanwhile wasn't really a rat like in Hurricanger, and was basically a tamer more kid friendly version of Goldar, almost being the evil general for the troops like in most toku tropes.
And  ! How friggin awesome?! He killed Sargaine and almost Lothar. That would've been a really cool plot twist, one that didn't happen, but was really cool to see on a Teen Titans level nonetheless.

It felt a lot more Mighty Morphin like (fun like SPD) than forced like in Dino Thunder.

Tori was a surfer sporty martial arts person. Fits a bit more than for whatever reason Nao Nagasawa was super popular for, singing. (No offense.) She was an anti-Kim, which was pretty cool, despite Kim not really being a damsel, Tori not really being beyond tropes. Kimberly had a lot more character thingamajigs while Tori just managed her trope.

The Thunder Rangers were such a cool concept as you had two Tommys and then a Green Ranger later on. I would've preferred them to stay darker or cooler, but it worked.
And Cam. Great idea. A Billy who can make zords and kick ass. Can actually fight unlike Oboro. (well except for that ONE episode.)
I don't like Cyber Cam. I don't think he's funny, but there's wit there concerning the contrast of his range and acting ability.
It's a shame considering that Hurricanger would make it on youtube 2 years later that we would find out how cool Shurikenger and Kabuto and Kaiga Raiger would be, but oh well. Awesome stuff nonetheless.

They still fought prior to Mystic Force.
Decent intro considering no Ron Wasserman.

It wasn't Disney's fault Ninja Storm add ons are ugly gatchapons.
