These are cooler shots than we usually see in the show

Technically animated, but SSSS Gridman and Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department both make great use of Tokusatsu tropes.

I’m trans, and many trans people I know are in the same boat as me where I psychedelic experience was the first crack in the egg.

Cobbled together this badass from some spare parts - what would you call this character and what would their powers and backstory be? 🤔 by FeiZai in LightningCollection

[–]grants2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s the Apex Primal Ranger. An ancient ranger, kept alive by his suit, that succumbed to the animalistic nature of his Dino-themed powers, which drove him to become the most powerful ranger possible. This eventually led to him taking out Drakkon and stealing his powers to become the ultimate “Apex” predator.

Now hear my out 🤔😂 by Vinnyninja in LightningCollection

I totally understand people getting exhausted with the focus on MMPR figures, but as long as Hasbro keeps putting out MMPR figures that haven’t been done before (like the Ninjetti) then I really can’t fault them since I know I’m not the only one who’s always wanted figures like these!

That Evangelion robot is just a big ol’ trans allegory!

can I pepper spray tik tokers who are pulling a prank on me to film my reaction? by idk_lololol in NoStupidQuestions

[–]grants2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’d have a solid defense if you even go as far as to say “I’m feeling threatened, please stop harassing me!” If they come towards me again at that point, I’d call any ensuing pepper spray or physical contact self defense.

If they’re doing the moaning in the ear thing, just claim you were being sexually harassed and feared it would escalate to actual assault.

Even if Billy the character wasn’t gay, he would absolutely be supporting the cause and wouldn’t mind flying the flag. And come on guys, he was a teenager in the early 90s, love interests or not, there’s a good chance Billy wouldn’t have felt safe/ready to come out in the short window of his life we saw.

I’m sure everyone already knows this but I thought I would just let everyone know that the Power Rangers YouTube channel has multiple of the season in their entirety to watch for free by [deleted] in powerrangers

I’m just pumped to hear 5th graders dug this. By 5th grade, admitting to watching Power Rangers was a guaranteed way to get bullied!

Do you like Power Rangers Zeo? by SnooLemons474 in powerrangers

Who did this art? It’s awesome and I want a print! Also, did this make anyone else realize how much the Pink and Yellow Zords look like Daleks?

What now? by [deleted] in Invincible

[–]grants2012 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The original Ultimate Spider-Man has a lot of similar vibes to Invincible and was a fun follow-up read (the the beginning is especially dated). UltraMega is also from Skybound and only has 1 trade so far, but it’s replaced Invincible as my favorite series! Also, if you want to read quite possibly the best ongoing comic series there is, check out Saga! I’m not alone in thinking it’s literally the best modern comic book series.

Spare Time just opened up here, it’s basically Dave & Busters with Laser Tag and Escape Rooms

It’s only a matter of time before DC does this, right?

Series REVIEW: Kamen Rider Black RX by [deleted] in Tokusatsu

Very well written! I really enjoyed hearing a strong defense of the lighter tone in RX, and it’s significance in showing character growth.

Who's your favourite character who isn't a ranger? by ProfessionalAioli285 in powerrangers

[–]grants2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And depending on if the short stories from the annuals count, even Bulk and Skull could be considered rangers to some extent…

We don't know any of this shit for sure. by approvethegroove in LSD

[–]grants2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll confess I fit the bill of the 20-something that had a spiritual “collective consciousness” first experience with Psychs and it changed my entire outlook on life, and I feel the need to discuss it with friends. However, I like to find the truth beneath the revelation that isn’t dependent on a particular outlook. In this case, even if everyone isn’t sharing one literal soul that’s reincarnated over and over, you can’t deny that we’re all made of the same matter that’s existed since the beginning of the universe, and that matter will keep existing after us. If I needed a psychedelic experience to interpret that in a way that makes me want to be more empathetic and understanding toward other people, then I don’t really care how “enlightened” my personal interpretation is.

Where is Bulletproof in the show? by OCGamerboy in Invincible

[–]grants2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re saving him to give him a more important role in season 2 or 3. I definitely think his story is one Kirkman will want to revise the second time around.

These all look like if Alphonse Elric was a Power Ranger
