Power Rangers RPM/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

** A couple of Olivia Tennet examples:

*** Remember all of those "Odin's beard" comments from Flynn? Olivia recently appeared as a one-shot character on the Kiwi comedy ''[[The Almighty Johnsons]]'' as a potential mate to the show's main protagonist named Axl, who is the human incarnation of the Norse god Odin. Sadly, he has no beard.

*** And remember the scene in "The Dome Dolls" when Ziggy wakes up from the male-specific sleeping gas and then mentions his dream to Dr. K about being on a date with her? Well, it turns out that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Fs-Gk_Pyo Olivia has been dating Milo Cawthorne]. [[I Knew It|The Kiggy shippers rejoiced, natch]].

** This wasn't [[Power Rangers Turbo|the first time]] a parody [[Super Sentai]] series was adapted into a [[Darker and Edgier]] plot. But this one was much better received.

* [[Hilarity Ensues]]: Ziggy is a lovable coward, comic relief guy who accidentally becomes the Green Ranger. He proceeds to be...A lovable, slightly less cowardly, comic relief Power Ranger who bumbles his way through fights. And usually win.

Line 80:

** The final battle of Go-Onger was pretty dang epic for how comical the series was. {{spoiler|Venjix doesn't even grow himself to giant size at all and gets blown up by a ''building'' getting dropped on his head.}} They couldn't have used the Go-Onger footage for a true final battle?

*** Well, it's possible they couldn't edit the footage as the Go-On rangers appear without their helmets.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Barring Gem and Gemma (who are nuts) and [[Hey It's That Guy|Koichi's wife]], most Asians seen in the show appeared in the pilot's prison brawl.

** Add to the list that there is [[Token Girl|only one]] woman in all of Corinth who has clearance to operate the HQ.

** They made an active attempt to avert this in "The Dome Dolls", making it a point that the problem was losing a portion of their defense force and not losing men specifically.

* [[The Untwist]]: It took twenty-five out of thirty-two episodes to confirm that {{spoiler|Tenaya is Dillon's sister}}. [[I Knew It|Everyone Knew It]]. No, literally, '''Everyone''' knew it...The fact that this particular subplot [[Power Rangers in Space|was done before]] made the whole thing completely obvious.

** [[The Un-Reveal]]: Until then, most obviously in "Prisoners", the series seemed to be playing keep away with the secret.

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Everything that's happened so far is because {{spoiler|Dr. K wanted to go outside the Alphabet Soup facility, where she had been imprisoned (under the pretense of a sun allergy) for the last decade}}. Since it was never intended for the Venjix Virus to spread beyond {{spoiler|Alphabet Soup}}, this also crosses with [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds]].
