Curious PR question

[Sage Shinigami]

Okay, I'm watching this Jetix Soccer Marathon (really just waiting on the new MF episode), and they had this episode where Ethan deals with some school bully. Totally stupid episode, but I do have a question: Ethan's shown himself to be a very capable martial artist WITHOUT his powers (DT excelling in unmorphed hand-to-hand fights is one of the few reasons I tolerate Conner), so why does everyone (including his ranger "pals") act like he wouldn't stomp some soccer-playing chump? Come to think of it, why do most rangers when unmorphed act like they can't fight worth **** against non-monster opponents? I'm not saying use their unmorphed powers, but most Rangers mid-way through the series *are* somewhat capable martial artists (and in the case of the DT Core Three, have been trained by one of the greatest martial artists in the PR Universe)--so why do they act like clumsy idiots?

Because it's a bad message to kids if their favourite Heroes goes and kick some bully's ass. :laugh: Even if it's in defence.

<Ms. Herpes> Dickie, Why did you kick Herman for?.
<Dickie> I had to kick his ass because he called me a name so I had to defend myself just like Ethan did in Power Rangers.
<Dickie's Dad> Time to complain to Disney.

The best was in the MMPR pilot, The Teens totally fucked up Bulk, Skull, and the other Punks. :buttrock:
