Like Mother, Like Daughter by zordi.art
Just watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Once and Always and the nostalgia is strong. Although Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank are no longer with us, and Amy Jo Johnson wasn’t in the show but hearing their voices again during the fight scenes in the beginning is just wholesome and awesome.
Given the limited budget and resources they have, it’s pretty good. I know there are some parts that I feel could be better but I’m happy enough to see them back in action, especially David Yost and Walter Emanuel Jones! They still look good for their age, like Ralph Macchio and William Zabka from Cobra Kai!
I hope they develop it further into a series with David Yost and Walter Emanuel Jones looking to train new and younger teenagers with attitude! Hopefully with more fight scenes like Cobra Kai and more badass songs by Ron Wassermann! The only complain I have is the songs are not loud enough during the fights. 🤣

It’s Morphin Time!
Netflix is releasing a Power Rangers reunion just in time for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ 30th Anniversary.

Now a new teenager with attitude will have to take her place amongst the Rangers.

i don't like Matt as a daemon, i mean, sure he's a good actor he's amazing in The Crown but i don't know if it's because i think he's really ugly lol it must be my thing yk? after all everyone seems to be horny for him and i was always like... hmmm ok lol
I'm a dude and super straight, so Matt Smith being a goofy muppet looking motherfucker does not weigh one way or the other on my scale of likability as an actor in terms of attractiveness.
I just think that a ton of the female audience grew up in that weird fucked up time of "SuperWhoLock" on this site and so I think there's that bit of nostalgia lust that everyone gets.
When I was a kid I loved - LOVED - the character of Katherine Hillard (the 2nd Pink Ranger) in the "Power Rangers". That character had a huge imprinted factor on me in my life and writing. And even though I'm 33 and Catherine Sutherland is in her late forties and has teenage children, I still have a huge crush on her. She informed so much of the things I find attractive in a woman - Ballerinas, Australian, femininity, feline features.
It's probably the same thing for people who grew up with Doctor Who during Matt Smith's run as the Doctor.
Don't discount the nostalgia factor, Nonny.

As much as I want to say this was incredible. It really was a not so great story capitalizing on nostalgia.
It was fun, it was indeed nostalgic, but the story was lacking.
I mean don't get me wrong the TV show was way better when you're 7 years old. Watching it in adulthood it's hard to keep attention.
The BOOM STUDIOS comics are brilliant. They have the medium to tell good stories for the grown up fans.
It was good to see their trying to finally give some closure to Thuy Trang's character's absence for 23 years because of her death. And the final tributes to her and the recently deceased Jason David Frank who committed suicide, still sent a somber shiver up my spine for my dead childhood heroes.
It's worth a watch, perhaps in the background getting ready for your day. The special effects are really nice despite people nitpicking them. Just don't "over-expect", ultimately it's still overall made on a level for 7 year olds.
It was good to see other old faces return. And to see David Yost take the lead in the special since he had conceptualized it and tried to pitch it to Hasbro.
