Pink has been the most relatable Ranger so far, but Black is getting there.
Overly maudlin writing to try and get us to like the Rangers better, but it just felt contrived.
A weak episode overall.
Hopefully back to Mr. Villain next episode.
I hold the opposing view.
Perhaps its because I'm less familiar with the rangers genre, but this feels like a non-standard background for rangers, making it interesting to me.
I'm not a super-expert on Super Sentai/Ranger shows, but IMO the standard Ranger character is "positive young adult with one defining characteristic or quirk, but otherwise generic" Red and Blue fit this archetype. Green, i.e. the twins, is weird. Black and Pink have the most interesting character developments so far, lMHO.
I just thought of a double-henshin act sorta similar to Green's: Kamen Rider W
That was a good show, actually. I wonder if the writer, Riku Sanjo used a similar gimmick in his later stints on some Sentai shows?
Kamen Rider and Super Sentai are kind of related these days: Since 2000, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai shows are aired back-to-back as part of Super Hero Time, they're both produced by Toei, likely share a lot of production crew, etc...
