PR: Once & Always Thoughts

spoilers under the cut

I think the writing was smart in regards to the continuity. A lot of the times in the main show, they try to bend over backwards justifying villains coming back when they should have been destroyed by the Z Wave. Having Rita not actually be Rita but the particles of her evil from the Z Wave taking control of one of the Alphas was pretty clever imho.

also rip alpha 5 idk if that’s alpha 5 or not but rip anyway

Not sure how I feel about Zack being a politician....I know the Peace Conference was a thing, but I just never saw him as a senator. A diplomat and liaison for another country maybe, but not a senator or congressman...

Billy not being on Aquatar and having a tech company on Earth is great. It’s so nice to see David Yost back after all these years and I welcome it so much. It’s what my king deserves!

I think Minh is a good addition to the cast and her arc about revenge vs justice is such a good message for kids. I hope I can see more of her in the mainline series

BARBARA GOODSON SLAAAAAYED AS RITA AS ALWAYS! BOW DOWN TO THE EMPRESS BITCHES!

Also always great to see Rocky, Kat, Aisha, and Adam. Aisha and Adam working for what will be SPD is pretty cool to me ngl

Bulk and Skull weren’t there but they had that small cameo so beggars can’t be choosers I guess...

Yeah, so I was wondering how they would justify no Jason, Tommy, or Kim but it was pretty simple...turn them into action figures!

AND WHAT THE FUCK RITA EVEN WENT AFTER OTHER RANGERS! (pause in the middle of that scene and see who you can identify lmao)

As a PR fan I adore the cheesiness with the jokes. I even adored the callbacks to silly ideas and phrases they had (”too much pink energy is dangerous”; the hiphopkido; etc)

Above all, I loved that this was a tribute to Thuy Trang. Because of her death, her character was often ignored and I’m sure they had no idea of how to properly honor her character. This warmed my heart so much and it really does show what it means to have a legacy.

AFTER 30 YEARS IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE THE OG MEGAZORD AGAIN! I would have loved to see all the Rangers get into their Zord and make their quips again, but on the other hand, it wouldn’t have been the same without Kim and Jason so I’m okay with skipping it

OH FUCK THAT ENDING THAT FUCKING ENDING I TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN’T CRY BUT THE CLIP OF THE OG GANG AT THE JUICE BAR WITH KIM SINGING AND THEN THE IN LOVING MEMORY OF THUY AND JDF JUST FUCKING HAS ME SOBBING LIKE A FUCKING BITCH I FUCKING MISS THEM SO MUCH

Overall, while I have some minor nitpicks, it’s just stuff that was out of the production’s control. Would I have liked some things to be different? Absolutely. But this was such a good anniversary special and really respected the original MMPR. I do recommend watching it if you’re a fan of the show, at least to see Walter and David reprise their roles and becoming fine leaders

Ranger Rankings for Itsy Bitsy Spider:

Zack 6: im on his side about the bugs. Finally get to see his hiphopkido class. Also, while being drugged and terrified, instantly finds the source and starts blasting.

Trini 5: another passionate Trini project. Also, doesnt blame Zack for his fear of insects.

Tommy 4: freaks out about his own bugs, sees friend scared, and he is instantly calm and focused on saving them

Kim 3: love the trend of her just terrifying the bullies. Also, pet person.

Billy 2: always by Trini's side when she's passionate.

Jason 1: shows up in the middle of the priblem but instantly throws his whole weight into helping out.

Best Stunt: the hiphopkido class

Totals

Zack: 70

Jason: 70

Trini: 69

This is a Cyberpunk 2077 blog now. I am already designing my character.

A lot will be going on my nerd blog @hiphopkido, tho. As far as things like gif sets and content around the game.

Forever The Black Power Ranger in my Mind 😂. S/O to Zack & Hip Hop Kido for holding us down. Now back to fighting Invisible Putties 😂. #PowerRangers #WhenWeWasOutside #NinetiesKids #Fighting #Putties #TheyWasInvisible #ButReal #IDGF #Quarantine #BlackRanger #MMPR #HipHopKido #Zack #TikTok #NickOfComedy https://www.instagram.com/p/CAf3FibAtKL/?igshid=1idx4tv9o0uj2

What my @PowerRangers inspiration helped bring out of me with a little 90s R&B #Hiphopkido. Tonight I saw the Power Rangers reboot movie and loved it, being born in the 90s and being a #BlackNerd that was obsessed with #K1 #PrideFc #UFC #Pancrase #Dream it was only natural that my favorite super heros would be the power rangers. A group of kids that looked like my friends and I, now I openly talk about that show and how significant a motivator for me it was for a bullied kid in #TKD and #Judo when things got rough for that little 5 or 6 old me that show was an inspiration for utter non filtered determination and always finding a way, for that little kid and every other person who has a like story thank you for doing this movie this series has touched and inspired many a child. Oh yeah and #TommyOliver #OGZack for Life Black White and Green SON. #PowerRangers #MightyMorphinPowerRangers #BlackNerd @BlackNerdComedy I might wear specifically black and green when I train only because Zack and Tommy are my original fighting inspirations lol.

So since Ella Jay Basco is a hip-hop dancer, I wonder if we’ll be seeing Cass utilize the ancient art of Hiphopkido.

Helmet is coming along wonderful. My slow self just realised the Luminous PLA I bought Glows in the dark amd almost scared me lmao. #powerrangers #mastodon #mightymorphinpowerrangers #mmpr #hiphopkido #adam #supersentai #dinothunder #greenranger #powerrangerszeo #powerranger #powerrangersmovie #blackranger #powerrangersinspace #itsmorphintime #powerrangersturbo #powerax #cosplay #gogopowerrangers #dragonrangershield #nostalgia #superhero #jyb #mightymorphin https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMAo9CgmxY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wfpjedgy9r36

I’m thinking about changing the URL of my nerd shit blog to something else (I now own hiphopkido thanks to a friend!), then using peachmentats for a dedicated Fallout sideblog.
