Oh boy. It feels like I finally care about Chases character instead of the Red Rangers since they spend so much time with his character and regretably failing. It's sad that I don't care about the red pink romance. Cuz they're really good and interesting characters, but it's just sorta missed and the series had such a waning start after false destroy the base starts that they don't execute or tease only to annoyingly not follow up on.
Ignore all the bad stuff.
Chase has an actual character now. Way better than Xander’s. Davies will have a career after Dino Charge.
Tyler actually gets his dad plot in an episode. It’ll probably be the only one prior to the finale which is sad considering he’s the Red Ranger and this is neither SPD nor RPM but the standards are so low now, I’ll take it.
It’s been 24 episodes but they finally got the Chase character to work. Good use of Tyler finally. I actually had a legit laugh.

Power Rangers Mystic Force Episode 10, "Petrified Xander" and a little bit of Gatekeeper
I'm petrified alright.
There's a call pun when the Rangers have phones for some odd reason too.
It's actually not that bad of an episode. Not something I consider Power Rangers or comical, but it's for that demographic they want.
Watching it without Magiranger glasses, although ones expectation is that everyone should enjoy the show, I can see some fans enjoying it opposed to others. I myself didn't like it till 10 years later. I was annoyed by Xander, didn't get his perfection, egotistic character, as something audiences would enjoy, but enjoy it now. Understanding how his character works, as unremarkable and lame he is, it's still a character.
PUNS!
As annoying as those puns were, I feel like developing a sense of humor with my punny brother it got better.
I legit felt for Vida when she felt bad that Xander may die.
Clare comes in handy saving Xander, when it could've been Udonna.
The fists don't really make sense compared to Magiranger, but the spell is really just a MacGuffin this episode anyway. Adds a bit to Clare, even if the character could've been consolidated at not much really helps her character.
Also, I don't really learn anything about Xander, and this was a poor lead up to Gatekeeper, which itself was poor, because of its lacking of introducing a cool character like Rin was in Magiranger, but was a good use of resources.
I would've picked Phineas. or a lesser known extra. A fairy Gatekeeper would've made stuff more interesting.
Toby. He basically can find out who the Rangers are anyway.

Power Rangers Super Dino Super Charge Episode 2 Cons
- Power Rangers version of Jungle Fury Road: they fucking advertised that they were going to trash the base last week. Instead, this dumb shit happens. Yeah, storm the base.
- The Rangers are completely oblivious to the fact that he's a bad guy despite knowing his name is Heckyl. Is Disney still running this company? Is there some sort of Power Rangers x Inside Out crossover I'm unaware of? Albeit, realistically you shouldn't assume that the guy is a bad guy based on his name. It's fucking Power Rangers tho, so fuck that.
- Snide knows where the Rangers base is. If they had destroyed the base, it wouldn't be a problem.
- They write that out in the dumbest way possible. Heckyl looks like a dumbass for not remembering he has the amnesia drink with him.

My dad saying how the previous President of Taiwan isn't really the President and how it relates to modern day toku
My dad recently said the President of Taiwan wasn't really the President.
I asked "what (he) meant by that?"
He didn't mean it like you would in the US. He just meant that Taiwan wasn't better or worse. The President took no risks. No scandals. Nothing happened. The President was pretty much not the President and fairly non-existent to Taiwan.
What does that have to do with toku?
Modern toku corporations seem really dumb.
Say what you want about Den-O, but when that lady got pregnant, they had to change something about the show.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a big hit. So the crew tried to keep the success going.
They kept the Green Ranger for longer and brought back Jason David Frank.
They didn't change the suits despite Dairanger footage.
They fired Thuy, Austin and Walter, which I debate wasn't a good idea but did do stuff with the mythos.
Then they brought the White Ranger anyway.
They brought the Aliens of Aquitar.
Then they finally brought in the new suits.
They Rocky got injured and had to be replaced.
They they replaced all the Turbo Rangers.
Then they replaced all of Zordon canon.
See stuff actually happened with management.
Everything post-Disney isn't as big of a hit.
Nothing really changes.
I mean I guess the same happened with Masked Rider.
But still. They're doing terrible and they're not doing anything is way worse than they're successful and not changing stuff.
