Some villains do have their moral dilemma.  You can see these ones like... Dr. Man- What can I say about this guy?  I feel like he's one of the best written villains considering he really has some sides of him worth pitying.  So what's the point?  Dr. Man was later revealed to be a human and had a son named Shuichi he wanted to join with him in his conquest of the world.  In the process, he must choose between his selfish desires or his son Shuichi.  Pretty much, the finale presented him with the biggest moral dilemma- will he let his pride get the best of him or will he reveal the location of the Anti-Bio Bomb that eventually resulted to his death?  After some pleadings by son and even the Biomen, his humanity is restored resulting to one of the best written villain death scenes ever. Basically the whole Gozma in Changeman.  They have the choice to either help Bazoo conquer other planets or their own home planets will die out.  This le...

Well I'll probably write some more articles in paying tribute to women of Super Sentai but I'll probably post this one first on moral dilemmas. Jun Yabuki in episode 13 of Bioman "Jun".  Jun was given the choice between continuing her archery career or fighting with the Biomen.  That episode had her with a difficult choice especially when she was given the "standard rule of secret identities" that she was never allowed to let anybody know that she was already a ranger.  She chose to continue fighting with the Biomen to continue the work that the late Mika left behind in order to progress against Gear. In Flashman, they were later revealed to be suffering the Anti-Flash phenomenon which means they can't reunite with their parents and stay with them.  Worse, they will be aliens to Earth forever.  In the final battle, Dr. Lee Keflen offers them the chance to become "normal" by fixing the Anti-Flash Phenomenon in exchange for their services. ...

So thanks to all the people who visit my blog every now and then and have linked me, link me and if you have a good blog, I will link you type of deal.  Now I'll make the honest confession that when this blog started, I intended to turn this into a hate blog against Power Rangers but thankfully it did not end that way.  It was pretty much like I was ran off by hatred, more hatred and all because of my bad side of me that's pretty opinionated and easily irritated when something I like isn't popular.  However the more I looked at it, I began to realize I still respected Power Rangers no matter how corny some seasons can be for me but there are good seasons. Pretty much, by respecting Power Rangers and simply giving it its due credit as a legitimate adaptation licensed by Toei, by not bashing Power Rangers I was able to reach out to Power Rangers fans who were pretty much ignorant about Super Sentai.  Now they are coming in here, getting some information while also s...

There are pretty much some events I find weird between Super Sentai and Power Rangers which is completely not intended or occurs in real life scenarios rather than just Super Sentai and Power Rangers copying each other.  Here are some I can name: Hisashi Sakai played the younger Burai in Zyuranger and then as Kou/Kibaranger in Dairanger.  Later Jason David Frank in MMPR wore both the Dragon Ranger and the Kibaranger costumes.  But I prefer Burai over Kou and Tommy. Red Ranger departure.  In Sun Vulcan, Ryusuke Oowashi was replaced by Takayuki Hiba as the red ranger though in the case of Sun Vulcan, it was based on contract while in MMPR, it was most likely pay issues.  Strangely Yuuta Mochizuki and Austin St. John have gained weight too while both are apparently retired from their show business lives but still appear during fan events and reunions. Female yellow ranger departure.  Okay the late Thuy Trang stayed quite way longer than Yuki Yajima ...

After doing some flower analysis on Momoko and Mei individually, I guess I'll compare Mei and Kimberly in terms of impact, nightmare fuel and perhaps "just too standard" and as well as the common mistakes both made.  Hey, nothing's perfect really!  For MMPR I wish I could get clearer pictures though as the MMPR version still touched me. First the introduction of the flowers.  In Mei's case she was happy to see the Rishiyam flower and it involves a boy who is the child of a family who owns a flower ship.  In Kimberly's case she was making a float for the peace parade which she resents.  In the case of Kimberly, she was displayed to have more emotions in teh first part when it came to her float ruined... though Mei later got more emotional due to a boy who later hated flowers temporarily thanks to Bandora's ruin.  I really felt bad for the boy who burned the flowers believing them to be evil and Mei convinces her not too- pretty more emotional than a rui...
