The moment you put any thought into a Ninja Steel plot it totally falls apart.
ThisPower Rangers Ninja Steelreview contains spoilers.
Power Rangers Ninja Steel Episode 14
On paper, I should like this episode.
A new alien species!
A lesson that could actually have some depth!
For a minute I thoughtNinja Steelwas actually starting to get itself together.
Then I actually started thinking about the plot.
Does Galvanax have control over the Lion Galaxy?
I thought Viera was its ruler.
Are we supposed to believe Galvanax has that much public sway over a WHOLE GALAXY?
This just reminds me how the fabulous Galaxy Warriors concept has been wasted this season.
Its legit the most original part ofNinja Steelbut its simply there to just have new monsters show up.
Why not do something with the uniqueness of the premise?

Is Princess Veira on Galaxy Warriors to gain favor with her people?
Does EVERYONE in the universe watch Galaxy Warriors?
Why not have Mick still be watching the show?
Why not have Victor and Monty accidentally become accidental stars on Galaxy Warriors, as Ive suggested before.
It would help them be more involved in the actual plots instead of the nonsense this week.
Look, I adore Victor and Monty.
So Sarahs whole cookie making machine plot.
but I was kind of into the idea of her confronting that cookie thief.
Thats actually kind of compelling and a little real!
Show us this, stop telling us EVERYTHING,Power Rangers.
Show us Viera having one set of ideals and then slowly dismantle them.
Maybe introduce her earlier.
She could have been a Galvanax general!
See her wrestle with these ideals and then turn.
It would make her showing up with the Lion Zord way more epic because it would feel earned.
Instead, its just another moment inNinja Steelthat should be EP.
IC but falls flat.
Come on, the Zords getting decimated and the Rangers getting knocked out of them?
Also, why do we need lines like, Oh no!
Why do you should probably tell us shes falling when WE CAN SEE IT?
Even if your audience is four years old you dont have to be THAT obvious.
Also… that ending.
Did he already make enough money from the cookie machine?
Was he able to find a place to live?
This is even more absurd than Calvin getting a drivers license in an hour.
If you have a real world issue like this, treat it with at least a little respect.
You dont solve homelessness or hunger in an hour!
Also, the kids name was Billy.
Last yearDino Chargenamed a one off character Zack and now THIS?
Come on, you dont have a database of used names?
You cant think of a new name?
Billy is from the most popular season of the show!
This should not be hard!
And… Victor and Monty with the cow.
The gag is okay I guess…
If this were a comedy.
Look, in a series likePower Rangersthings are going to be insane.
They pilot giant robots and fight alien space ninjas.
The world isnt like ours.
Otherwise it becomes too much of a farce and you cant take it seriously.
MaybePower Rangersis trying to be a comedy…
But why would they have a plot about a maybe homeless brother and sister who cant eat?
These things dont jive.
You cant have them in the same episode.
None of this episode works if you really think about it.
Until then, its going to keep falling on its face.
