With
Marvel's new titling strategy I'm surprised that this isn't called
All-New Warriors, but New is already part of the title so it should be
All-New New Warriors.Also, why are they called New Warriors ?Because
they aren't "New" the should call themselves the Warriors.
The
cover of the comic is great we have all our characters on the cover and
plus in the background we can see the 2 letters of the name of the team NW combing and forming this cool new symbol maybe I'll do something similar
with my name someday.
My knowledge of this team is somewhat
limited.I've only read the 2005 miniseries witch went into Civil War and
less I mention the New Warrios and Civil War the better and I'm
currently reading volume 3 witch started with Initiative (also I'm
reading the Initiative issues).Basically, they are like the Teen Titans teen heroes fighting crime.
Now
let's play a game of how many characts can I recognize on the
cover:let's see in 1 row we have the new Nova Sam,next to Nova on the
right it's Kaine the Scarlet Spider,on Nova left there'sSpeedball who
was Penance at one time.That's all that I know the guy with the cape looks familiar, but he's too young on the cover to be him.
The
problems continue with Power Rangers Super Megaforce.But 1st a short recap from the last episode the rangers got new suits with no explanation for the pirate themed suit or zords the show ignored the continuity of the series by "forgetting" the big invasions that happened before especially Countdown to Destruction.And to make matters
worse...well take a look at the intro.
They keep
saying that a full scale invasion of Earth didn't happen before which pisses
me off to no end because it was done better In Space (the season not
literally in space).The show is so far like an open wound, and that
segment is like salt soevery time I watch the show is like putting salt on a opened wound.Another problem that I saw in the intro is one
regarding my favorite ranger the Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power
Rangers.
That silver stripe on the helmet was 1st seen in Dino Thunder in the episode Fighting Spirit
in which Tommy was in a coma so it made sense he might have suffered
brain damaged and imagined the silver stripe on the helmet.
Now this wouldn't have bothered me too much if a new character would have found the Dragon morpher that Tommy's clone took with him in the past.This new character would have repaired the morpher and joined a team of different rangers like an older version Justin the Blue Turbo Ranger ,some
Lightspeed Rangers plus the Silver Guardians and the 2 Red Rangers from
Time Force and some other rangers that have been seen active in some
team-up episodes like Adam Park the Black MMPR oh and their headquarters
should be the Aquabase 2 from Lightspeed.
Okay that's enough fanfiction for now let's move on to the episode at hand.
Also, their zords would have combined;) (that's Dragonzord Q-Rex,Titanus and Artillatron).
Astro Boy from 2003 was one of the anime that made me aware of the anime genre it along several other.
Sure, I wasn't awarethat I was watching an anime at the time.In my mind (back then) it was just another cartoon but can you blame me?
During the 2003s there were many cartoons that blurred the lines between anime and cartoons (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 2002,Teen Titans 2003,Batman Beyond,Martin Mystery,TMNT 2k3 etc).
Recently
I've got some free time on my hands, and I have watched all of the
episodes from the 2003 series (damn you prognostication )and it still holds up today.
So I've decided to make a small review regarding this great anime.Don't worry, I won't spoil too much of the series for you because it's that good with that in mind let's look at the plot of the series.
But 1st let's look at the intro.
In preparation for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie I've read the 2 big events that lead to the team forming or rather reforming in 2008.For those of you who don't know those events where Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest also I've read the miniseries that lead to Annihilation: Thanos (2003-2004) ,Drax The Destroyer (2005-2006) and Nova(2007-2010) (the tie-in to Conquest).
And I've discovered that the universe in Marvel is full of interesting species and characters, and it has rich mythology.So I've made a list showcasing some things that I want to see in this movie that has Galaxy in the title.Also, there are some other changes done to the team and the characters but that's a discussion for another time.
Here
we go Super Megaforce episode 1.Like I said before Gokaiger is a hard
adaptation to do,yes it does have some footage that they could use but
it also has many, many scenes that they couldn't use because set team member was part of anunadapted Sentai team.
Because of this I think that they decided to combine to 2 series into Super Megaforce.
Apparently
they decided to use the Dairanger footage because...well they have so
little footage so yeah.For those of you who don't know Saban used the
Zords from Dairanger in the second season of MMPR you know the
Thunderzords also they used the White Ranger costume from that
series.It's funny how things that return and bite you in the ass later
isn't that right Saban.Technically they could be considered 2 series but they have the same cast so no.
This
worked in MMPR because nobody saw Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger when it aired
in Japan so you couldn't compare the 2 series but now with the Internet
we can compare the 2 series.I saw Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger when it 1st
aired sure I didn't watch it all the time because it featured teams that
I wasn't familiar with it, but I did watch it when some familiar faces
or should I say masks popped up.
So yeah, I will be comparing Super Megaforce with Gokaiger in this review , you've been warned.
Even
back then I though to myself "god damn this is going be hard to adapt
imagine how much no Sentai footage that they will have to make sure".
To
prove how much I knew that they will screw this up they used the giant
battle from Gokaiger in a dream scene a f***ing dream scene
What you don't believe me here have a look.
So
yeah well done you manage to piss me off in the very 1st scene of the
episode well done.Also, what should I take from this ? That the giant
battle with all the Rangers is just a dream that we won't see ? That's
the metaphor with that scene.
Okay 1 more rant then I move on to the episode at hand.
From
what I've read Saban will be skipping over Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters in
order to adapt Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger in Power Rangers Dino Charge.
I think that Saban is lead by monkeys at this point. I mean come on jumping over Go-Busters the series that has the best mechs fights ever (from what I've heard) and
you are skipping it ? Why ? Are you stupid ? At least the name sounds
better than Super Megaforce so that's one positive thing that I can say.
Sorry
I didn't mean to go on that bigger of a tangent, but this series has
really pissed me off so without further ado let's move on to the episode
at hand.BTW the intro is the same to Megaforce it's not like this
season is something special that requires a little bit of effort.
I
have to admit that I went into the movie with my hopes pretty low, but
after seeing it can tell you that it's not that bad, and you should go
watch it.
I will try to avoid spoilers in this post, but I need to
talk about something regarding the movie so if you want to avoid
spoilers don't click the Read More button.
Welcome to the final part of my list and the most difficult since I haven't watch this series that much so I might get some facts wrong.If I do get some facts wrong please correct me in a respectful manner so no swearing thanks.
Welcome to part V where the Disney era continues, here I will be talking about the powers and zords from SPD,Mystic Force And Operation Overdrive so enjoy.
Ultraman Ginga is 50th anniversary of the Ultraman franchise and Tsuburaya Productions decided to take the Gokaiger and Decade with this show you can deice for yourself if that is good or not but for me this is a good idea because they can use old suits without bringing their human actors if they don't wanna come or worse but Ultraman isn't like Sentai and Kamen Rider humans don't become Ultraman an Ultraman turns into a human or uses him as a host when needed (at least i think that it works like this ,I've seen this in the Zero movies).
Now the big question is how to turn into old heroes
Cards?
keys ? other ?
No, action figures as the base of the power and a device that turns the hero into a superhero.
Because you know toys sales will go thru the roof (I've had to steal this joke).
Now the only problem that I have with these figures is that they are too big for real life they are okay but for the story perspective they are too big the kid won't be able to carry to many of them.What if he needs a specific toy in order to win the battle.
They would have been better if they did something in the style of Marvel Battle Dice come on you remember these.
They are small and easy to carry.
Now let's get back to the episode at hand.
