Allio, got any commentary on the Zeo and Turbo villain counterparts?

Do we have any information on this? I know a preview is in the 30th anniversary one-shot, but the Tommy married to Kat thing burns me so I won't pick it up. I am curious to what she has in mind. What characters she will be using, aside from Kimberly of course.

[Allio]

Ohranger villains are pretty strait laced, even compared to some of the villain surronding the season. This may be because of the bombing incident that occurred around that time in real life. Ohranger is notorious for having a dip in quality because of it.

For Carranger, from the couple of episodes I seen, the villain crew is just goofy. Even compared to Divatox. This is again probably because of the bombing that occurred the year before in Ohranger. They are just a bunch of space thugs whose plans are essentially just being petty, like one of their first plans was throwing all of Earth’s cars into space to cause noise pollution in a vacuum to bother other planets.

I thought you might have gone more indepth or ben impressed or wtf about various things from the presentation of The Machine Empire opposed to the Baranoia Empire and it's origins to the Black 6th pre-teen opposed to the alien Gold zeo bequeathed to Jason for awhile and so on.

Also, I am aware that Carranger was meant to be a parody due to Japan needing something lighthearted in nature after a terrorist attack, but Divatox's main henchmen being the actual main villian of carranger and how other characters were presented differently.

If I assume correctly Power Rangers took a different direction after adapting face characters Rita Repulsa and Scorpina and decided to adapt the face characters with actors of their own? This was seen starting with Carranger's Divatox counterpart? I don't know just what little I can pick up on readings around the internet.

Yeah, 30+ episodes in and we haven’t really got much for Baranoia. The most interesting aspect of Mondo’s character is that he could easily rebuild previous monsters but chooses not to as he sees past monsters failures unless he finds a means to upgrade them to be stronger than before. One monster that was destroyed brought itself to life again and tried to take revenge out Mondo for tossing him away, which Mondo saw him as nothing but a failure and ordered his destruction.

As for interesting or WTF monsters. In the Kingranger debut arc, a creature called Beast Tamer Keris appears and the whole thing is that she is a thicc big titty dommy mommy






For obvious reasons, she never made it to MMPR. I hear her head made it into the background shot if the “king Tommy” episodes, but that’s about it.

Another interesting Monster is an almost Freddy Krueger type of monster that has apparently been on earth for a long time, enough that one of the female rangers was in High School and has been kidnapping people in their dreams and keeping them capture in their dreams. It’s interesting since this means that Baranoia has been on earth way longer than their invasion that we see (which again, probably plays into what we learn later.)

Going by what I see now, and what apparently will be revealed later Mondo probably created his family himself. And he probably wouldn’t rebuild them if they were destroyed.

As for Divatox, yeah it seems like for the most part of there is a face-actress for Sentai, they definitely changes them. This is probably to avoid dubism l like with Rita and Scorpina. This is also the first time where Foot soldiers are changed in America compared to the sentai.

You don’t get to see a sentai “face actress” again until Nadira in Time Force. And you don’t see the Sentai grunts again until the Batlings in Lightspeed.


Honestly, I can see why Ohranger is ranked so low in the sentai fandom

I thought you finished it. It reads like you are skipping around and go back and forth. I didn't realize that the Zeo counterpart was disliked. I thought it was Turbo and the parody was not received well. So Mondo built Machina, his own consort? Then they build Sprocket together? I did find it weird that Machina had a niece in hibernation so it's technically not a hyper-agwd cousin romance but robots built to carry on Mondo's legacy. I did find it interesting that the main villain actually took to the field to fight and that was not the end with the villains defeat. Zedd and Divatox were never properly defeated in battle.

It looked like Ohranger had all suit actors and I wondered how rare it was that none of the Japanese counterparts were face characters.

I literally just finished the King Ranger debut arc and ya Keris was a thicc big titty dommy mommy she even had titty lasers too.

Actually, it was that part of her head was used for the Metal Mangler in Turbo's "Clash of the Megazords".

She was actually edited out of the scene where the Gold Ranger brings out Pyramidas for the first time.

[Allio]

Nah, I haven’t been jumping around. I actually just finished 33 (introduction of the super Zeo zords) I’ve just been using what I have been watching and what you have been posting and doing a guestimate on my part. Eventually I’ll finish Ohranger.

From what I’ve always heard was that Ohranger was one of the seasons that nearly killed Sentai with Carranger saving the franchise (or at least got its footing back.) it seemed that thanks to the terroirs attack, the show about Terroristic androids blowing **** up may have left a bad taste in viewers mouth and caused them to leave. No viewers, no way to sale the toys. Carranger being a much light hearted season in comparison might have been what the doctor ordered. Fans always like to point out how Carranger and Turbo seemed to have opposite effects on their respective franchise.

And yeah. Never really thought about it, but yeah. Ohranger was the only sentai to have a full suit only villains. It wouldn’t happen again until Dekarangerand Magiranger (unless you count Wolzard/Koragg who was stuck in armor, though once they were “faced” they were no longer villains)

Ah,so only three seasons had villains that were full suit. It makes Power Rangers harder to adapt than I would have thought.

I am curious about the fallout of Mondo’s death and how it differed and your thoughts on the sixth ranger portrayals compared.

Power Rangers Cosmic Fury premieres on September 29th on Netflix.

Fern from Dino Fury will become a regular, and a past ranger is returning.

Here's an article, and a video of the opening sequence.

It looks like there will be original foot soldiers. There are two villains shown in the opening sequence, but I haven't determined where they're from.

This looks fun and I can’t wait

Awesome, she’ll make a good Ranger I suspect

That looks beautiful. Also, I wanted to pass along that I’m excited to once again be meeting Amy Joe Johnson again this September at a Con
