Power Rangers Dino Super Charge Episode 4
Romance inPower Rangers.
Its never been anything to write home about, has it?
Oh sure, everyone remembers Tommy and Kimberly.
They were cute and fun, albeit not as good as everyone remembers.
It was a third grade view of high school romance.
We all know therealgreatestPower Rangersromance was between Ethan and Cassidy.
A couple that tried dating, realized it didnt work, and broke up.
Its as if they acted like real people or something.
I dont even need to say what the worst romance is, because it wasnt even really a romance.
Yeah, Jake and Gia.
They give each other looks, or in the case of this episode a peck on the cheek.
Oh sure, Kaylee falling for the Black Ranger out of nowhere is contrived.
Chase is completely self obsessed, a trait thats been on display many times.
This week, he realizes that it doesnt always work.
Its inferred that Kaylee liked Chases self confidence at first, but it quickly grew stale.
It speaks to a real world relationship through the lens a young viewer can understand.
This is so he can protect his emotions and not have to face his own insecurities.
Even if he didnt know Kaylee wanted to be an astronaut, he knew she was smart.
He knew he couldnt compete with that, so he desperately tried to impress her.
Kaylee was fed up with it and dumped Chase.
You dont have to pretend to be interested in your significant others hobbies if thats all theyll talk about.
Im all about that.
Once Chase demonstrates he does care more than just himself in saving Kaylee they get back together.
I get the feeling we wont see her again, but even if we dont?
I dug this plot.
A nice message that forwarded Chases character development.
A good example of a standalone plot that ultimately does have some impact.
It needed a little breathing room, plus it had no thematic connection to the A story.
Lets talk about Singe, our new recurring villain.
I dig this guy.
First off, hes not just another monster from the prison.
Hes an alien from somewhere out in the galaxy whos traveled to Earth after hearing about the Energems.
Its the tiniest bit of worldbuilding, but Ill take it.
Need I say more?
Lets hope Singe and Furys rivalry has more progression then the Sledge/Fury dynamic did over the course ofDino Charge.
At least Singe calls Fury out about not getting a single Energem in a million years.
Overall, this was a solid outing forDino Super Charge.
Not perfect, but enjoyable and a great focus for Chase.
Plus, Shelby got to lay down some advice.
As it should be.
Stray Thoughts
New Zealand Reference Counter: 1.
Only one way to cure a hero headache.
Singe is killing it with these one liners.
Its called a last blaster.
Cause its the LAST blaster youll ever see.
Thats on the level of Bricknecks, Im no one.
And Im too tough for the Power Rangers!
Humans are obsessed with a crazy little thing called love.
You know, why cant Kendall be in her own zord?
She could have just picked Tyler up.
Even your megazord is mega lame.
The grille not the girl!
