Well I just watched all 3 seasons. S1 was really fun. It had a spark that nothing else had so far. S2 and 3 were total ass but I still was enjoying myself somewhat. But I'll legit fight for S1. Stock footage or not. That was fun television.

Anyone have a link to that one clip with the Red Ranger going crazy and fooling around while the rest of the team is confronting the baddie?

I'd say its length and the fact that early episodes follow more of a standard formula with less storytelling early on has a lot to do with that.

the episode quality in mmpr did go down after they used the sentai series finale as a mid episode. At least babe ruthless was cool

Obi Wan...
Space through Time Force have my favorite themes. They are all great!

They had a killer story arc around S2-S3.

Yeah, Zeo feels like it's starting to carve out a stronger identity, but it still has the trappings of the original seasons that it'll lean on. I do think the out-of-suit stuff has been more entertaining, finally; before, that stuff was a chore to watch. Not everything's a hit, but a lot more of it is in comparison to the earlier episodes. They finally gave Rocky material, for example! Yeah, he's basically Yamcha, but I like that the show is finally embracing his loser status; dude barely had any lines at all in the previous season.

Yeah because it didn't have the consistency Power Rangers had but it was definitely popular lol
Edit: *reads below* that makes more sense lol

It ran out of footage to adapt so they had to end it.

wow power rangers teaching us about police corruption back in the day
Hm, it was only on two seasons before being canceled so I dunno about the "killing MMPR in the ratings" thing. Maybe at first?
I was hyped for Metallix though.
Beetleborgs probably doesn't hold up even a little today.
Hit em with that Morty.

My gaydar went through the roof after seeing "delmar" guy <_<
Zordon knows what's coming.
Zeo feels to have better stories, acting and overall characterization when they're out of their suits. MMPR1-3 however had more unique and better fighting, probably because that's what it did best and it was more consistent. Zeo's changing what PR is while also keeping it's remains.
Overall I'd say that Zeo's better than PR. For the fight? I'd watch MMPR instead.

Honestly, if the new movie is at least better than the dumpster fire that was the Turbo movie, I'll be happy.

Yeah, but to be fair that was primarily due to lack of stock footage by the end, not because of ratings. Same reason why VR Troopers was cancelled.
One is a cashgrab with a heart made on small budget
The other is a modern dookie cashgrab made with lots of money and no soul
Completely agree. 1 is campy as hell and undeniably bad, but it has a charm you can't fake. I even like 2 (although not quite as much) but it becomes a lot more...I dunno, manufactured after 1?
Let's be real they all exist to sell toys, but Season 1 is just fun. Now that it's over I'm legitimately a little sad.

With a heart? I doubt that.

Really? You really think there was heart behind this? More than the new movie?
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
It's quaint in its low budget shitty look and feel.
The new movie is "we wish were were a marvel movie/transformer movie"
No thanks.
I dunno, let's wait until the movie is out. They're both created to sell toys.

It's shit created to sell toys. That "soul" is just your nostalgia. If they had money to spare, it'd look like the new movie.
I know =(That's not a fun fact.

In that sense, I think it fails for me. The designs of the suits & the zords are all horrid. Meanwhile, I love the designs of the suits, morphers, and zords for the current Super Sentai series airing in Japan, Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger.
Watch Mega/SuperMegaforce and say that again. That's a season without soul.

I'll watch it. But man Zeo is really soulcrushingly bad. What a SHIT show.
To a certain extent. It's not quite as inspired as Sentai of its time, but they tried to make something with what they were given and they were breaking new grounds with it.
Being sponsored by toy companies doesn't preclude shows from being good.
