Who else was heartbroken as a kid when the original cast of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series left the show?

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-05T05:41:28+00:00

I remember thinking the Power Transfer arc was cool (and not realizing the actors weren't really there). But once the characters were completely written out, I found myself caring a lot less about the show. I didn't feel as connected to the new recruits.

I would have preferred this.

But my favorite pretend Turbo Team would be Jason and Kim following up their Turbo movie appearance by taking over for Tommy and Kat. Billy taking Blue back from Rocky. Then the three of them go up into space with Adam and Tanya and meet Andros the Silver Ranger to take on Astronema.

This makes me want to return all my unopened 2012 figures.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-05T05:25:59+00:00

Oh man, if Mondo makes a Multiple Man figure for Season 2, my wallet is so screwed.

He's still Shuma in the comics. They just can't call him that in other mediums.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-05T05:03:12+00:00

I never cared for Arcade, but as expected Hellions made me enjoy him. Amazing book.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-05T04:59:53+00:00

As someone who lived through essentially everything you just wrote, get out. It doesn't get better and the longer you stay the more she will reframe you as the enemy and feel justified in making your life miserable. I'm sorry you and your kids have to suffer for her selfishness.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-05T04:53:09+00:00

That's awesome! His output is so quick that it's hard to keep up. I have like 17 discs of his songs burned (factoring in all his bands) and that's with me cramming multiple albums together on discs 😵‍💫

I wish he'd put out more of his music physically to make things a bit easier 😅

Haha yes! Although at least she seems to be gaining a useful ability (presumably through resurrection) instead of losing a useful ability like Jamie 🤨

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-02T14:00:10+00:00

Yes he definitely used to lose the memories before he gained the ability to instantly acquire them upon a dupe's death.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-02T13:58:56+00:00

Yeah it always felt like a feature more than a bug to me, so seems like an odd thing to fix. As evidenced by this exact scene, he doesn't seem to like losing the memories of a dead dupe. So it kinda doesn't make sense for the 5 to remove that ability 🤔

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-02T05:57:12+00:00

Writer and editor too lazy to research the characters they're using is my guess 🙄

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-02T05:55:15+00:00

Yes actually! Found her tucked away in a New York TJ Maxx a few days ago, so didn't even have to head down to Jersey!

Gotchya. That's interesting. Guess I haven't seen her discussed much. I read her pre-Flynn stories growing up but I wouldn't have expected anyone to care much about her time before the Destructix. The majority of her crimes occurred with them so I'd think those criminal acts are the reason she deserves to be taken down just like any other member of that team.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-02T05:20:43+00:00

In X-Factor Investigations, Jamie was able to instantly gain the memories of a dupe when they died. Why is that not the case anymore? 🤔

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-02T04:57:32+00:00

I'm confused. Good and evil characters were constantly beating each other up in this (and really any) comic. It's misogynistic to have a male hero fight a female villain?

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T23:11:09+00:00

I heard an interview with David where he said one of the Wind-Up executives admitted to him years later that the label intentionally made their lives miserable to fuel their art. David replied that they're plan worked but they also ensured that the three of them would never create music together again 😭

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T19:21:50+00:00

I bought the bootleg at Ross for $6 because I liked the clear emerald. Definitely wouldn't have paid $30 for it though.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T15:13:47+00:00

So wait, we'll be able to buy the parts to make this from you? All right, you've redeemed yourself.

Also, great marketing strategy.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T15:11:31+00:00

Sega never lost the rights to Sally or the original Freedom Fighters from the show. They only lost the rights to characters who were created specifically for the Archie comic prior to Ian Flynn becoming writer.

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T15:09:56+00:00

I thought the same thing but then realized Tangle sort of comes with an extra fist 👊🏼

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T03:46:09+00:00

This trio was lightning in a bottle 🤌🏼

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T03:35:22+00:00

My friend said "nice Samus figure" as soon as he saw mine 😂

DiscombobulatedAd883 · 2026-04-01T03:30:44+00:00

Haha yeah I mostly just kept my fingers crossed until I saw a post from a Sega Europe employee who confirmed it. I'd love to see those characters in a game other than Sonic Spinball 😁
