Ninja Steel manages to recover and delivers some solid promise for the future.
ThisPower Rangers Ninja Steelreview contains spoilers.
The pacing was better, the characters interactions were fun, and there were some legit great twists.
No, but at least Im invested in the series now.
Alex and Jen were engaged inTime Forcebut quickly separated.
Give us some couples problems!
Unlike those two, where the shtick seems to be wacky SLIME antics, Mick is legit hilarious.
The way he digs on Earth being behind the times and hiding from the fight?
Thats funny, plus its a little bit of world building!
I hope Mick continues to comment on human behavior.
Kelson Henderson proves once again hes one of the most versatile actorsPower Rangershas ever had.
Plus, the Rangers secret base is in the school!
I mean yeah, itll be dumb if no one notices its there.
I mean come on, is no one going to try and fix the paint machine?
Imagine if one week it was in a janitors closet!
Thatd be some fun comedy.
Thank god this episode made me care about Brody.
I mean god, after that first one I was legit worried wed be getting another bland Red Ranger.
It didnt help his backstory took up five minutes of the episode.
Here, its done in about ten seconds worth of flashback.
Its also nice we get to see Brody have a more grounded reaction to his situation in this episode.
Hes legit sad about not finding his brother.
Im also interested in the whole Brody gets to finally go to high school thing.
Considering this guy missed ten years of school all together?
Hes going to have a lot to catch up on.
The five Rangers meeting up was fairly well done.
Brody and Sarahs, Im from outta town.
Plus, Preston just existing and never being able to keep his hat on is adorable.
Lines like that go a long way to making the villains seem credible.
Not to say they also cant be a little funny.
Galvanaxs reaction to teenagers getting the Power Stars was great.
The Earth is invested with them.
That is a very MMPR line and I love it.
Seems a little too convenient.
The episode ends not on the Rangers all bonding but some possible fractures in the villains already.
Galvanax doesnt care about the ratings of Galaxy Warriors, which could cause some great conflict down the line.
What happens if the ratings start to go down?
Will they send down extra monsters?
Vary up their tactics?
The episode also ends on a huge twist.
One of the villains has the Gold Power Star!
I legit did not see that coming and thats rare with Power Rangers.
Will they be able to use its powers?
Will they be able to morph?
This has some great possibilities.
Lets see how the series develops its core team in the episodes to come.
Stray Thoughts
Always delighted whenPower Rangerscan find a new location to shoot in New Zealand.
That opening fight with Hayley, Calvin, and Mick had a gorgeous backdrop.
Wow good to know this school hires anyone.
Seriously, Mick getting hired was REALLY easy.
Piece of SPACE CAKE!
What makes a space cake a space cake?
LOT OF conclusion jumping with that photo in the box.
is a dumb morph call.
The gigantify graphic is legit adorable.
