POWER RANGERS!

When I was just a little boy, watching the Power Rangers series was the highlight of the day. For those who don’t know, ‘Power Rangers’ is a general term. There are lots and lots of Power Rangers team.

I grow up with Japanese Super Sentai such as FlashMan, MaskMan and then the American Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. Super Sentai is the Japanese term for Power Ranger if you don’t know already…

This year will be the 35th Anniversary of the Super Sentai series…

So that is quite a lot of Power Rangers over 35 years now.Anyway, these Power Rangers are here to protect and save the world.

But, and I had been thinking about this since the first day I know the Power Rangers, why do they:
1. Stay in one place only? Somehow the evil villains are stupid enough to focus only in one part of the world. And taking over that one place in the world is equivalent to the whole world… No wonder you guys are losers…

2. Fight one monster per week? Or in other word, each encounter, they will face one monster plus the regular evil villains (that may consist of 2 to 3 guys max). And those regular evil villains usually just hang around throwing insults and encouraging that monster to do all the dirty job. What do you expect from evil losers… Anyway, it is very very rare to see the Power Rangers fighting against 2 or more monsters at one time… Lucky guys…

3. Use huge noticeable gestures every time they talk. You can say one hand swing per word. And they will always gather to do group pose before they attack the evil villains… And to make it worse, the evil villains will wait patiently for they to complete their group pose or join them by doing their own pose.

4. Have the same power as a normal human being when they changed into their costume or Power Ranger form. If you watch closely, actually whether they changed or not, they still at the same power level. Except that they have all the weapons and stuff…

5. Have to wear their respective color even when they are not wearing their custom or Power Ranger form. Do they really like the color given to them or they are forced o wear that one color day in and day out? Pity them if that is the case…

So that was what running through my mind every time I watched the Power Ranger series…
