Power Rangers Mystic Force Episode 25, "The Hunter" praises and lows

Nick gets a surprise. Sort of thematic.

Xander does his bad supervising. I got another laugh from him. His actor did a good job.

Vida says Toby's eye twitches. I hope her eye only twitches on twitch good job.

Also, it's sort of weird having Toby be inconsistent regarding whether they're good workers or not. Not to mention, should Nick win that award?

Maddy gets some moments. Although a bit lukewarm, she saves Nick's life, She also has a moment with him to reflect their journey. No actual touching though.

Nick wants to stay in Briarwood. It'd be cool if he mentioned their journey together to be friends, to add a little more stakes to the episode. Not to mention going back to Rootcore later.

leelee feels left out. It would've been cool if her and Clare became friends.

Speaking of which, Clare mentions how Udonna should depend on her since she's become a better sorceress. Clare has a little bit of Amy Adams turning her into a newt. A good moment for the two.


Mega horn sounds buckwheat. No racism just a weird thing
80s voice acting homage to like Cobra Commander and the Claw.

The animation for Oculus's fights although not as dark are still a bit scary to kids as bodies lay down.

Although I praise the Light storyline more now, the Battilizer feel still feels forced or maybe just not done well. He could've like meditated before getting the power or something.
There's also a bit too much fighting, not enough story.

Itassis wants to fight Megahorn over fighting Daggeron. The US Megahorn suit looks awesome with the extra green compared to the Japanese suit.

Phineas has a moment with Nick. Would've been cool to see a moment with him at the end of the episode. As much as I don't like Leelee, her moment in the end was great, and she proved that she belonged in the Rockporium.

Kamen Rider Kabuto Episode 3 review

The cafe scene was basically filler, not really discussing anything about Hiyori and Tendou, although getting us to learn  And if you don't like the cafe humor, it's a shame, but that's Kamen Rider pacing for you.

The interaction between the ZECT members was really good though establishing rules etc..

ZECT attempts to fight off a Worm, failing again, adding tension, although it sorta gets lost when they never win. (Alleviated later!)

The main meat was Gatack discussing not being able to trust Worms after they attempted to destroy Earth. However, there's not enough of a connection and he's not enough of a detective for all this to be valid, not to mention his blind devotion to ZECT, who can pretty much say anything and he'll eat it up.
In fact, in the end when he choose the wrong person as the Worm, possibly signifying how he choose the incorrect side in the series. Ironic, considering how normally lacksaidaisical empathic and used for comic effect he is in the series. Their discovery of the Worm is sort of a symbol of them discovering the truth behind the incident years ago.
However, you can empathize with Kagami as he doesn't want to help a guy who leads to the destruction of humanity.
Speaking of which, the Worm revealing itself was a bit lame for anyone who's watched the masterpiece known as John Carpenter's the Thing. Oh well. Not exactly the same audience anyway.
Mika Kikuchi sorta gets wasted, but good paycheck for her, being part of pop in the Japanese equivalent of the Screen Actor's Guild.

The rollercoaster effect was cool.

Also, on a final note remember who the man of the heavens is.

Disney's Power Rangers Mystic Force "Heir Apparent Part 1"

Imperious meets with Koragg.

Imperious contemplates manipulating Koragg vs opposing him and having Koragg with the Master.

Daggeron and Nick duel. Regretably feels short since he mainly dueled with Chip. Also, Nick was severely again underdeveloped despite being the main focus.

They go over the story.

Clare's mother died.

Leanbow was gone.

Too bad they didn't keep the original actor. He looked impressive.

Good resolution for that.

A dark secret could've made that over the top tho.

I would've liked it if Clare had taken over her mother's role.

Kamen Rider Kabuto Episode 2 review

Basically a set up from the last episode. I should've combined the review.
Sets up.
ZECT's main characters are interesting, who I forgot to mention before.
The smart hardworking shipper.
The captain.
The bad ass.

Clock Up.

There was also comparisons to Terminator with Kabuto's invincibility and the Halloween Michael Myers trope.

Hiyori gets introduced this episode. Significant.
The Heisei G1 cafe was re-introduced.
There's also no reference to the children in the previous episode.

ZECT Rider

Owls. Combined with darkness.

Does this go anywhere by the end of the series?

I don't recall them ever letting ZECT become the bad guy vs humans and Worms in the end.
Although, that in itself is pretty dark.

Power Rangers Dino Super Charge Episode 8 "Rag and Riches" notes

Ivan is the main character of the episode. He begins not knowing technology, signing stuff. How much did Saban spend on that? Later not knowing currency, which is fool hardy, later having ownied gold for 800 years.
If he didn't understand the time value of money, it would be more understandable.
Forget that the Dino Charge stuff is technology.

Kendall is discussing an autograph

Ivan damages a rich man's rich antique. Sir Ivan is a very valuable antique also. Bum bum tsh.
How about Haim Saban show up in the episode and give them the money?
Gold for everyone! Money money money! Hubba hubba hubba!

Batman '89.

Make em greedy.
Not exploding money.

Not like they could've made them mercenaries or anything.
They didn't!

Mr. Smith.
Ivan

Take Ivan, he's not worth anything.

"Just give him the two million dollars."

The museum doesn't make enough money for two million dollars.
How poorly run is this museum? How much does Kendall get paid for that suit?
Two billion would've worked more.

I think Ivan is represented by the director of the episode, not knowing how money works. would eventually get paid, use money, see other people use money.
Ivan robbed a bank. This episode's robbery alright!
How does Ivan get stuff if he doesn't have money? Does he barter? Haggle? Steal? Ask nicely?!

Haim Saban obviously didn't tell him he'd get paid or how to use money.

"Treasure" their last moments.
Ha-
ha-
ha.

"Heckyl trust me."
You want Heckyl of all people to trust you? Do you trust Heckyl?

Why the fuck are you even on this show Heckle?

Fury's still here, even tho Tyler found his dad.
No Shelby shipping
No dino shekllby
No kendall vs shelby

Fury's plot was to use Greed to fight the Rangers.
The Rangers use Greed to fight him anyway.
Useless monster.

Tylerury.

Ivan robs.

The monsters need a leada.

Rich person's bodyguard.

Waltons and Haim Saban famous off kid labor.

Vault.

Native American armor. Tyler Navarro.

Pendant broken but still on the monster.

Monster explosion without exploding visual.

I blame Gold Coins. not Golgom.

Blame it on Gold coins.


Grand mama

He's giving away $2 million.
Sorta funny.
The bodyguard in the end was great too.

Dobotsu Sentai Zyuohger Episode 6 analysis

The idea of giving up ones power to make someone else live and stronger is of that of the Lion King and the Circle of Life. We eat meat and plants after killing them so that we may live.
This is really dark and they don't really make TOO many jokes during this episode. Not knowing who the Zyuohgers are, leaving Uncle out while they try to figure out what happened to Larry.
Larry may die so that humans, zyumans and/or Yamato may survive. The idea of Zyuman power from cubes is interesting.
Look at those shades.

No one died, humans are the ones who succeed, it's done at the expense of Larry and no one seems to care.

Disney's Power Rangers Mystic Force, "Dark Wish, Part 3"

This was a good resolution episode.
They tease Koragg vs Nick, which should've been done more not only since it's cool in Magiranger, but cuz it's cool here.
The Oblivion/Beasts are defeated.
The birthday wish from Toby was a nice trick. Sorta led up too, but not quite.
