I do, I just gotta dig them out, give me a sec! Ah, here we go!
~
- Mia learns how to be a fantastic cook as she continues going (and with Antonio's help)
- Antonio was trained by Cam Watanabe (and the other Ninja Rangers)
- Emily's sister was not the path of Earth, but the path of healing
- In a world of Soulmates: Jayden/Antonio, Mia/Emily, Mike/Kevin
- Last names! Jayden Shiba, Antonia Garcia, Mia Watanabe, Emily Tanaka, Mike Sato, Kevin Yamamoto
- There are more Samurai discs and more paths one can take, they where just lost to time and in battle. The Life disc (white, coyote), for example
- Ji was and is a horrible mentor and none of the Rangers looked at him the same after he took Antonio's morpher
- Ji is Mia's uncle, Cam Watanabe is Mia's cousin
- The Samurai Rangers gets drunk together during their fight with Master Xandred and his brood exactly once and never again
- If someone so much as LOOKS at Antonio the wrong way, the other Rangers are ready to throw hands
- Lauren Shiba had to find her place in a team that already had a Red. She chose pastels are her color after the fight was over
- On the subject of Lauren, she's aroace
- She also has a daughter, named Kirsten
- Antonio and Jayden are in love and have a beautiful relationship, once Antonio gets Jayden to actually open up about his feelings
- The Rangers model their relationships after other Ranger relationships not their parents' relationships (except Emily's, her parents are amazing, even after Serena's illness)
I've recently just finished watching season 1 of Beast Morphers and tbh I liked it way more the second time around. Just wanted to do a fun redesign of how I would style Robo Roxy for both seasons
I was never a huge fan of any of the characters until it was a focus episode. I felt neutral for most of the characters...except Robo Roxy and Steel (those two oozed charisma) And I really like Commander Shaw too. I'm glad she isn't the archetype of hardass leader that never listens to anyone/anything. She isn't afraid to admit fault, has her team's back and a great leader.
Also, Ravi really grew on me the second time around. We won't talk about the episode where he has a fight with his girlfriend then takes it out on her avatar 😬
Why was Megaforce and Samurai's dialogue like... that?
Like Power Rangers dialogue are cheesy and quippy across the board just the way I like it. But Samurai and Megaforce so often had this… placeholder lines vibe at times where they just say, "We gotta [thing we know they're gonna do and doesn't need saying]" or just… stuff that barely feels punchy as well as generically heroic.
That and the weird way they talked during combat, especially close-quarters. Nothing quick or snappy but full sentences that feel tacked on. Even Mighty Morphin' didn't make the dialogue this dumbed down.
It's just… weird, weird, weird. There's a deep dive to be made about the peculiar presentation of the initial Neo-Saban era.
The Forest Clan, Vierasquez (Verasuke in the past)
The Water Clan, Wainaki (Ikenami in the past)
The Earth Clan, Dahmia (Daichi in the the past)
-Many centuries ago during the rise of the Nighlok five clans rose to power with their usage of Symbol Power, Master Xandred kept a stronghold against the families but with their combined strength they were able to banish him away into the Netherworld fully. Upon doing so an age of miracles begun with the families utilizing Sybol Power and their elements to develop their own rule amongst the land (Red based in order and construction, Pink oriented around history and the relics of the world, Green in nature and the advancements such had to offer, Blue with growth and creation and Yellow in agriculture). However tensions amongst the clans began to brew and after numerous conflicts three out of the five decided to spread out into the world hoping for better opportunities with their legacies, while some may be in ruin other have been able to prosper happily even till this day.
