How does everyone like Jarrod/Dai Shi?

[NinjaJack]

Just testing the waters here, but whats the general rule of thumb here. Does everyone like or hate Jarrod/Dai Shi (noting the actor AND the character he plays)

I dig the story and I think the actor (Mr.Skinner) constantly brings a level of toughness to the role.

 

[ForeverRed]

Still early for me to judge on him.

He's nowhere near as complex as Rio was but then again, Geki was more or less about Rio, Mele and oh these three other characters.

Based on what we've seen I think he's harder to like per se as a character but easier to understand and figure out.

I'm hoping we get some background on him that links him to either RJ or Dominic at some point.

Now my opinion:

3 categories


#1) Not compared Rio: AWESOME villian. I love the cloaked Trent & Thunder Ranger voice and I'm sure there is more to come. The stunt actor ain't got **** to Kurojishi's but what can ya do.

#2) Compared to PR villians: FUCKING KILLER so far.

#3) Compared to Rio: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

#4) Sombody throw me a f'n beer :buttrock:

Rio is still #1 but Dai Shi/Jarred has so much fucken potential that he's oozin' machizmo!. I love it.

:laugh:

Dai Shi so far has kicked ass. Bede Skinner sucks at acting though. I'm so glad Disney kept Rio's badassness. I can't wait to see how he changes as JF goes on. Bruce finally got the villan aspect of PR right.

 

[Impulse87]

i think he's a pretty good villian especially when you look at the slew of crappy villians that we've had over the past few seasons.

i'm not too crazy that they changed his mane in his black lion armor though.

 

[DigDoug]

I have to agree that although he isn't as good a character as Rio, he's the best villain Power Rangers has had in years.

 

[ShadowRider]

Jarrod is ugly as sin. That is all.

 

[NinjaJack]

So generally, the outlook is good but Skinner isn't LOVED, but respected?

 

[The 2nd Evil]

I have no real complaints so far.

I think that's just about right.

Previous PR villians...

Well the four groups from OO weren't too bad, Flurious was improvement over Gayja but Kandor wasn't as good as Yaiba so that's pretty much a wash.

The Master/N'Ma are about even, Neither was actually a physical presence until the very end of the series. N'Ma did more then 'The Master' but The master's possesion of Nick and the subsequent knock-down drag out brawl between him and Leanbow was AWESOME so I can't complain too much.

Grumm, slight improvement over Agent whathisname but not anything worth writing home about.

Mesogog... Started scary but got progressively dumber as the season went along with his weird ass plan of the week to return the planet to the time of Dinosaurs.

Lothor, I LOVED Lothor. He was and remains MY FAVORITE NZ villian. He had the best personality, the best lines. Oh he was funny AND memorable. Not a great character design or anything but he good everywhere else.

That's just my .02 on the bad guys though.

 

[ForeverRed]

Astromena and Ransik are unbeatable. No one cannot beat them, especially Saban's PR Villains (PRiS-PRWF).

Astromena
Trakeena
Queen Bansheera and the Demons
Ranisk
Master Org

They were all badass.

 

[Forever Knight]

Best Villians.... now everyone read:

Goldar (Season 1)
Lord Zedd (pre-idiocy)
Astronema
Ecliptor
Darkonda
Villamax
Master Org
Zen-Aku
Dai Shi/Jarred

 

[ForeverRed]

You know, I'm not going to add Dai Shi/Jarred because for me, it's pretty early to judge on him. I'll wait until up to episode 10 or so, and I'll make my decision on him.

 

[ShinnGun]

I love Dai Shi. He's really evil.

But Ransik is my all-time favorite PR villian.

 

[JustAnotherBlueRanger]

I liked Ransik all the way upto the very end of TF when he has his sudden change of heart.

That and Reinforcements from the Future killed the character.

QFT

I will say, his first appearance sucked, but he just seemed so much better when he got that evil voice and attitude.
