The Superhero Cinematic Civil War

[mclay18]

I don't remember the lore for anything I loved as a kid before superheroes. Except maybe Ghostbusters, but there wasn't much "lore" there lol. Transformers, Sonic, Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....I remember loving those to death, but if you quizzed me about the lore, I'd utterly fail.

There are some legit good seasons of PR, MMPR gets the most attention because of nostalgia and that it started the franchise (but it’s not great).

I think you would like later seasons, particularly RPM. I remember flipping channels in 2009 and stumbling upon the first two episodes of RPM on ABC Kids. And I was hooked— they managed to do serial storytelling in a kids show mostly known for repurposing Sentai footage.

The fact that you mention Time Force tells me you kept up with them for more years than I did.

Yo but for real, Time Force was actually really good. Granted it’s made for TV-Y7, but the writing for it was really mature and matched the sentai show it came from.

I was a Billy girl. My poor gayby. They did you so dirty.

I was a Jason girl. And yes, sadly, I know what the actor's been up to.

I held an irrational grudge against Kat FOR YEARS. No one ever could replace Kimberly.

There's speculation he also was part of the homophobia on set, too...

I totally forgot Kat and Tommy were endgame.

My favorite MMPR characters were Billy and Kimberly. It still pains me how the crew members treated Yost during production and basically bullied him off the show.

Sure they were.

Plus girl leader is as progressive as this show got for the time. 🤭

Dino Thunder and their kid says otherwise.

Now make a male pink ranger and female red ranger and then we've gone woke.

For folks who are curious about RPM, it’s streaming on Pluto TV for free (along with 15 other PR series like In Space and Time Force). Check out the first two episodes to see if you like it.

I remember when I gave up at In Space because I was already getting tired with Turbo. Came back out of nostalgia and liked Ninja Storm, but that's it. 😆

I did end up reading up on the series, but too much for me to actually sit down and rewatch.

You missed out on some of the better seasons!

Now make a male pink ranger and female red ranger and then we've gone woke.

Pretty sure the current Red Ranger is female.

 

[Lily Adler]

Pretty sure the current Red Ranger is female.

And yet no male pink ranger! 😭

EDIT: The Sentai Flamingo man doesn't count!

Does me in my Cassie, aka the best Pink Ranger, cosplay count?

This ass in that skirt is too powerful for the internet to see

For Power Rangers, I stopped at Turbo.

I watched some of Zeo and then tapped out after the Turbo movie, which I didn't even watch in theaters because I was already mostly done with Power Rangers and had moved on to Star Wars at that time.

I've heard that In Space is fantastic, so maybe I should have stuck it out a little while longer.

So you know the big bad on the Turbo movie that Divatox wanted to marry for ultimate power or whatever... Yeah he's also the bad guy in that one with a different name and can talk. Also somehow King Mondo from Zeo is still alive despite it ending wth him getting killed by the Rangers.

I dropped around SPD and Mystic Force. I wasn't super active watching after Dino Thunder, but I still watched a decent amount till Jungle Fury.

And in other news, I wish Cavill all the luck with his new chosen geek property.

Warhammer 40,000 has slightly more women in it now and the neckbeards aren't happy

We're still not at "female space marines" but give it time.

Just give me a System Shock series and we're grand.

Also, it is always fun to see which actors from the Disney seasons have been able to jump over the american stuff. I think RPM may have the most who have.

This year is the 40th Anniversary of Transformers so Hasbro is doing everything they can to promote the franchise. Right down to a theatrical release of the original G1 series first four episodes being released in theaters as a film
