PRJF02 - Welcome to the Jungle, Part 2

Welcome to the Jungle, Part 2

- Boring font choice is boring.

- Too drawn out morphing call is too drawn out.

- Jungle BOOM. Seriously? Even in a fucking martial arts season?

- It was nice of Casey to announce his backflip.

- “Jungle Fury, Red Ranger!” That’s an odd thing to yell after defeating someone…

- I am just so insanely not a fan of this premiere so far. The pacing is really weird, the writing is dodgy, and the acting is just… eh. Everything feels so rushed and forced.

- …Why did Camille have to transform after hearing Mantor’s plan?

- Hi again, obviously not Theo.

- No matter how effective they can be, I will always find nunchaku to be extremely silly.

- Oh, that’s why Camille had to transform. Okay, but why split the scene up like that?

- Aw, Fran is a super sad character.

- Unlike the Rock-Porium, at least RJ gets a steady amount of customers so I can buy that he can afford to hire more people.

- I don’t think the rock explosion was necessary for the training sequence.

- Aljin reminds me of Archie Kao, but without the charm.

- HAHA THAT REPORTER’S MICROPHONE.

- The Power Rangers universe has got to be the most expensive fictional world to repair.

- Someone tell Anna Hutchison to stop sucking on that helium.

- It may be too early for a proper aesthetic assessment, but these fight scenes are just fucking wonderful. They’re replacing great Gekiranger fights but doing it in a way that works, without all the stupid slo-mo and explosions. Just legitimate good choreography and great angles to work with. The suits are also really nice, a unique addition to the universe, and the villain designs are some of my favorites.

- And then we get to another stupid fucking CGI attack sequence.

- On one hand, I feel like the team merely needing to be in balance to use the megazord power is good enough, and on the other hand I feel like they should have had to work for it a bit more.

- Also, the megazord? Goddamn gorgeous.

- Oh no… Not this… Not Flit! Just… fucking leave Kelson Henderson out of my seasons, seriously.

- Why do we need a fucking megazord commentator? Seriously!? I know it was in Gekiranger but they could have easily chosen to not use it. It’s just such a fucking distraction and just totally takes me out of an otherwise great fight. And megazord fights are rarely good anymore, so when you ruin one that is… Shame on you.

- The Savage Spin would be cooler if we saw it actually make contact with the monster.

- Thank you so much for shutting that little bastard up.

- Oh look, Dai-Shi is Jarrod! They… actually kept that hidden fairly well.
