While it mostly delivers, I feel as though it comes up a bit short.
It starts slowly with Sledge punishing Fury and sending a monster down to Earth.
How about, you know, give some more focus to Curio and Poisandra?
In fact, this scene and the whole first fight really didnt do much for this installment.
But it takes away from the real star of the episode: Ivan.
I just wish we had gotten to see more of this little band and how he recruited them all.
Maybe Shelby could have stuck by Ivan while Kendall solely dealt with the guys?
Or we could have just started the episode with the fight, so wed have more time with Ivan.
Davi Santos is absolutely crushing it in the role, and I want more of him.
Hes got a fun character to play and hes hamming it up.
He knows exactly the kind of showPower Rangersis and isnt holding back.
Meanwhile, Ivan brings his self-titled, Knights of Amber Beach to fight Poisandra and the other monsters.
They even do a pose!
Get this team to Power Morphicon ASAP.
Get them their own show.
I would kill for a season with a cast this diverse in terms of age.
Could use more women, but thatsALWAYSa complaint with Power Rangers.
I get they finally wanted to show how Fury absorbed him, but we get it.
This flashback has been beaten into the ground.
What I want more of?
Show us what it was like inside Fury for so long!
Was he not awake?
Or was he aware the whole time and just trying to cover it up with humor?
One of the things I actually liked aboutPower Rangers Super Megaforcewas the character of Orion.
He had a tragic backstory but was still a slightly goofy character.
Same with Dex fromMasked Rider.
Their tragic backstory only helped to elevate the comedic situations they ended up in.
Okay, Im reading way too much intoMasked Rider, but you get the idea.
As much as I want Ivan to be wacky, I do want some gravitas with this guy.
Maybe hes using his flippant over the top attitude to mask the pain?
Or maybe its just Power Rangers, and hell be super mega wacky.
Only time will tell!
-Im surprised they let Ivan use his actual sword as much as they have.
PR tends to stay away from any weapon that looks too real.
-The hotshot lines in reference to Chase need to stop.
Were getting one a week, and its starting to get annoying.
-Keeper hasnt done anything significant in a while.
When is he going to kick some ass?
-What is with the coloring on the Gold Rangers suit in American footage?
-The music this season hasnt been amazing but whatever cue was used for the Knights of Amber Beach intro?
