Things not Said on Jetix.tv

I dunno, I think the entire race getting wiped out by Grumm was pretty dark.

Or a Red Ranger finding out his mother and father were murdered by their best friend who is now the main villain of the series. Or how the rangers found out Zenaku was a human by seeing him bleed red blood.

That whole suicide sting winger bomber bit in Lost Galaxy was dark as well, and it even had a villain question his alliance. Or when we find out Frax was once human and was killed by his new master, Ransik. He goes from wanting revenge to learning that there's hope through Nadira and had a fit of true emotion before he's turned into just a robot. And even though he was once human, we see him destroyed, broken down, and falling apart in his final moments, with only one character truly caring for him and understanding him.

Or how about when Toxica, who so desperately wanted to please her new Org master, was convinced, by another duke, to cut off her horn not knowing that it would kill her. She cut off her horn, kidnapped the princess, and was so successful. But her reward was that Mandilok, her new master, didnt give a **** about the fact that she was dying and called her a fool for it. Only Jindrax cared for her. Then, when Toxica was found not to be dead, she was used as a shield against the rangers and killed.

She wasnt killed by the rangers in an epic battle, she wasnt betrayed and destroyed in a dastardly way. She was killed in one of the lowest, darkest moments... She was forcefully dragged from the ground, already dying, and used as a shield. Then tossed away like trash.

I always thoght the darkess Power Ranger storyline ever was the Ransik storyline, a mutant who drew swords for his OWN body and was basicaly a man who expirenced predjudice in the 30th century for how he looks.

Yeah, see, this is why I say Space through to Wild Force are the best seasons of Power Rangers we'll ever have. Because of little story bits like this that have so much human emotion and heart. You could empathize with the villains in certain ways.

Hell, how about the plot line with Titanium ranger? He was given up to a demon by his own father because the father wanted to save him. I thought that was a little dark. The decision to let your son die, or live but with a demon.

The android bit, in context, isnt dark at all. It was the execution that gave it a darker sort of credibility. Because when we saw Mack's reaction, it was believable. You really felt the emotion of knowing your life is a lie.

EDIT: ForeverRed, if you're reading this, just ignore SkyKnight,

Oh no don't do that. You can't tell people to ignore one another over here. :redface2:

I'm just playin. But I agree. Hey, I have strong opinions that change too (magi being the best example of how my opinion can change). Keep rockin, FR.

Lets not forget that ceepy snake tatoo bit. That was weird and of man that was dramatic.

You know...you don't develop a human-like android like that in one go...thereh as to be a prototype SOMEWHERE... and if I know my Sci-fi cliché it's probably evil.

lol!! Sooo true. I wonder if they'll play that card at the finale.

Speaking of the finale, I wonder if Flurious will actually do something by then. I mean, most of the series is over and he's been a waste of money and screen time. He's contributed absolutely nothing to the series. He pulled "driver cores" or whatever out of no where (boukenger plot device, yeeee) and that's all he's done.

Which is a shame because I really wanted to like him but he's done nothing to be liked for.

There aren't enough episodes for that to be properly developed though.

Now this is how you write an episode!

Good episode aside from the repeat wire-fu and Tyzonn playing benchwarmer to the rangers. "Good Catch" is offically creepy now. As far as the Mackinel Knight goes, it's well..jaded. Not as good as Shane's intro or Cole's for the matter of fact. Add in the "Let's burn useless Bouken monsters into the episode" theory and that's basically the episode. Hartford deserves the cold shoulder from Mack in the end. You heartless career-driven paleontologist. At least Dr.O got it on with Kim and Kat back in the day but you.....

Gets a "good" rating in my book. Too back earlier OO eps weren't like this.

I'm thinking Flurious could easily sweep in at the last minute and just steal all the jewels from everybody and turn into one awesomely super powerful foe. That is if they don't drop the ball. They'd need another original bad guy costume, but something cooler than Mesogog's final form.

Also they could always have one of the bad guy find Proto-mack and turn him into a ranger killing machine. We could see Mack fight himself that would make for a good one episode at least.

Black RX, if you would actually read all of FR's posts (you? READING? A MIRACLE), you'll know a lot of what he does is troll every Disney-related thread with the same shitic and doesnt bend to any kind of flexable conversation. This time around virtually the entire fandom hailed this as the best episode of OO period, FR, who had earlier called the decision to make Mack an android, a decent little "first" and an intersting idea "retarded", changes his mind and declares one scene "good." It proves he follows bandwagons

Grrn had to watch a lot of Magiranger to change his mind, that takes longer than a few minutes, where as with FR, it took mere minutes to change his opinion, as usual, on everything. Sheep-like behaviour, and one that isnt new to me. He's changed his mind to suit fandom preferences several times, and NOT in a way that takes time.

Just because we're enemies in most PR related discussions doesnt mean you need to rally up troops of other morons I've addressed and stir up **** when it isnt needed. You know what that proves troll? It proves I DO have power over you, and your mind cant handle it.

The only "evidence" I see is you just blatently trolling about and annoying him.

FR has trolled ten times more on other forums, here included. I'm NOT the only one here to address that, you would know that if you could read other posts, and...you know...werent an obssessed stalker

EDIT: ForeverRed, if you're reading this, just ignore SkyKnight, he's powerless. If you have an opinion about Power Rangers seasons, Tokusatsu, boobies, hamburgers, WHATEVER, just post it. And if SkyKnight starts doing his thing again just ignore him.

Translation: I, Black RX, have never contributed an intellecutal conversation with anyone over a few posts, and when slapped down like the dieseased little troll I am, choose to ignore my peers and remind fellow victims of their constructive posts that I was slapped down hard by them, leading to unneccersary flamebait.


Its getting old you broken record.

And that goes for everybody else who've posted an opinion and had it rudely backchatted by SkyKnight. Just turn your back on him.

And you know nobody will, except those with your weak mind who are offended way too easily. Funaro's bitched to Keith before, you think HE gives a ****? He lets him do it because he beleives in free speech. He UNDERSTANDS him, hes tried to explain what PR is to him. YOU, who have also been known to insult Funaroboard members here rather than resort to that, do NOT.

Suffice to say, some people on HJU know what I'm doing, and those who cannot can do nothing but grasp the negatives of what is being said, and do none of the research behind what is being said. FR is a certified troll on countless PR forums, he has wished DEATH on hard working people, he still does so by saying the same, inane, DUMB little things in every thread without stop, then, when the fandom suggests something else in consensus, he changes his mind.

That is NOT an opinion dummy.

Keep your petty hatred of me up, it wont change anything. I own you, and any post you make further to "warn" people of someone with common sense shooting down what is absolute unfair bullshit, it will prove that further. You are MINE. MINE.

And for the record, I DONT go trolling after FR, and havent for a long time. In fact, the post you addressed was me replying to something he was addressing to me in the first place.

Again, LEARN-TO-READ

We've fallen out before several times over the same behaviour, heck hes been BANNED HERE for this behaviour before, and I've tolerated him afterwards. We'll find common ground again, we dont need YOU acting like an idiot when we dont.

And Grrn, not arguing with you here, but don't start agreeing with blatant bullshit, because not only does it convince me further that the top three people I have problems with on HJU cant let go of their problems with me, it shows you, someone who took time to enjoy a Sentai season you previously disliked, are willing to endorse seconds worth of bend-in-the-wind decisions just to cover their own asses when the whole fandom tells them there wrong.


I used your example as how to change your mind the correct way.

That said, I could care less if people "ignore" me or not. It shows who has a hold over their minds. Better to face adversity than run from it. Saying "ignore him" is no lesser than conceding defeat.

Erm... to cheer up this conversation and steer it back to the topic at hand...

I bet I already guessed the end of the serie!! After getting the five jewels and the crown back from the villain, after all is said and done... the Crown of the Gods will turn Mackocchio in a real boy! I'm betting on it!

If they were smart the writers would give him a love interest... somebody who loves him even if he's an android, more than just a friend, would go a long way to help him feel at ease with his nature.


Oh and I so want them to abuse the fact he's a robot. I mean you can do to robots what you can't to a human... I want a VICIOUS battle where a villain literally RIPS one of Mack's arm off! With wires dangling and sparks and everything! Something BRUTAL that could traumatize kids XD

omg! LOL, I think you hit the nail on the head. Because doesnt the crown grant a wish or something? *slaps forehead* god, it's so obvious. That's a good call, very good call.
