Moloth - The M-Forums

Remember the Transformers: Generation 2 cartoon? It was the old G1 show with superfluous CGI forcibly added in? And it was an attempt to revitalize a dying brand with a low cost revival of an old TV show?

Yeah. This is Power Rangers: Generation 2. I'll be speaking on it some in an upcoming podcast. Dunno when it will be ready.

Remember that time when the 80s Turtle and the New Turtles appeared in the same movie together?

No?


IT'S FUCKING AWESOME

who wants to fuck Venus DeMilo?

*hand flinches up, but stops*

It's the best possible news. Saban is going to save the brand.

Have I not mentioned those yet? D: Those incredibly well done and VERY entertaining.

Embarrassingly enough, the only thing I've really been listening to lately is Power Rangers/Sentai soundtracks. I like pretty much everything sung by Wasserman, but if I had to pick an all time favorite...

SPD is just balls out adrenaline. It kicks in hard with the "SPDEMERGENCY!" and its all ass-kicking and giant fireballs from there on out. XD

That said, In Space is a close second. I love the countdown and cheesy "In Space!", but also appreciate the way the lyrics climb through the verses. I have an extended cut of it that has the full countdown from 10. Its actually a little too long though as they kind of run out of verses about halfway through.

Honorable Mentions go to Time Force (for that awesome opening time warp sound effect), Dino Thunder (for the opening verse), and of course the original MMPR theme (for bitching guitars).

Outside of the theme songs, I also really like We Need a Hero,

and Big Bang.

Oh, and for the record Operation Overdrive has the worst theme song of all. Its a thousand times more painful to listen to than the uber-peppy Jungle Fury and Ninja Storm themes. XP


PS - I'd be kind of terrified to have him on the show. He knows a thousand times more about PR than I do and his brilliance would expose my shortcomings. ;_;

I've exchanged emails with him before and he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would come out and be all "RWAR You know nothing of Power Rangers! You call yourself a fan?!?!? hahaha!!!!"

And yea, Operation Overdrive sucked, and Mystic Force wasn't great either.  Jungle Fury kind of grew on me a little bit, but no where near my favorite.

SPD's lyrics bring it down in my opinion.   In Space would have to top my list followed by Time Force, and Zeo.  I also like Lightspeed Rescue, but don't ask me to explain that one :p

Dino Thunder gets an honorable mention for me just because it brought back Jason David Frank to the show.

I only really followed the show until the end of Time Force (which kind of happened to be the end of Saban's total control of the show, and Dino Thunder I kind of watched again because of Jason David Frank.

Even though they've hinted that the series are connected in the same world (Forever Red, and Dino Thunder) it just doesn't feel as good since the ending of In Space.  With Saban bring back the series I wonder if they will return to connected seasons.   Probably just a pipe dream at best.

I did not watch RPM, I'll try to get around to it at somepoint.

LOL.... thats gold!

Cant.... stop... laughing! XD

Dear lord. I half want to scan the pic of me and my brothers in the off brand power rangers outfits we got when we were kids. We were apparently too poor to afford the official costumes for Halloween, but we got the cheap knockoffs for half the price....crappy helmet included!!! oh dear god it was hot...but i had so much fun!! but I'm so embarrassed NOW!!!

ahahhaha... i love these!
