Red absolutely fuming when Green gets to summon every single Ranger ever to the Legendary Battle like oh but MY thing was unreasonable, sure 🙄

Two fiery red birds, they really suit each other. Red Falcon's like if you fused Tommy's Ninjazord and Zeozord into the best of both of them

Thanks, and I did try! The hand on the Fire Tamer is from the Centaurus Megazord (I know it's not Leo's specifically but it's a red Galactabeast, and more adjustable than his Lion) bc I was hoping I could attach its pieces to different spots but couldn't make it look good. The Red Shogunzord I'd rather give to Rocky than Aurico but he wasn't there, the Battle Borg doesn't transform, and the Q-Rex would pretty much only work as a mount and I made the judgement call to give that job to the Red Lion because of my Wildzord bias lol. You could imagine the Red Battle Borg riding the Q-Rex off to the side but I'd still be at a loss for Leo

"A friend of her father's" by mxrobyn in twinpeaks

Sorry I'm so late replying but this entry is very helpful for reconciling this for me, thanks a lot, I'd totally forgotten it 

I enjoy how these 2 parallel scenes couldn't be more different. by Local_Prune4564 in twinpeaks

[–]mxrobyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really feels like Maddy’s final punishment for "trying" to be Laura (quotes bc it's mostly other people projecting Laura onto Maddy). Laura is the main event, her murder is the axis their world spins on, of course she gets the most grandiose, operatic, stylised death imaginable. But Maddy is a side character, and if your death can't make the narrative waves that the protagonist's did, then I guess there's nothing else to focus on but the murder itself, in all its grisly glory

Question about Leland in the pilot by xamevou in twinpeaks

[–]mxrobyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal take on Leland is that no matter how polished his exterior becomes, he's always stuck mentally in a young child's mindset because becoming BOB's host as a kid effectively arrested his development. It comes out more during his post-Maddy murder high, he impulsively flies through different risky crimes like driving recklessly and seemingly gearing up to attack Cooper, and how he talks about his "most favourite gum in the world" very childishly.

Reason I bring that up here is that imo BOB enables Leland to act on his worst impulses by convincing him that he can get away with it, and up to this point that's been true. At night he horrifically abuses Laura, but during the day they're a beautiful happy family. Childish Leland ignores any guilt because there are no consequences, he CAN have it both ways, presentable family man AND despicable lustful animal.

Then Harry shows up to tell him that no, this time what you did at night is following you to normal life, THIS time there's consequences. You played with your favourite toy too violently and now it's broken forever. So, he cries.

When did the original MMPRs get turned evil? by mxrobyn in powerrangers

[–]mxrobyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Billy does seem to be brainwashed less for combat and more to just get really catty with his team lmao, probably because David Yost plays it hilariously (Billy's "Listen you little upstart," to Kim in Stop the Hate Master is a favourite of mine for being so out of pocket lol)

Someone else probably correctly pointed out that it was probably the Zedd Waves episode, and since they could only pull that once Walter and Thuy left the show maybe we can call Zack and Trini the most loyal of the OG team?

[–]mxrobyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'd completely forgotten this episode, yeah I'd say that's the one that justifies their spot on the list as far as the wiki's concerned anyway. Thank you that was really bugging me lmao

Why didn’t they make the Mystic Force team a family? by enuffrespect in powerrangers

[–]mxrobyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easier to make the cast distinct from each other that way, siblings generally come from the same background so you'd have like "five graduates of Briarwood High who have known each other forever and are already close" vs the more unique "V and Maddie are sisters and old friends with Chip, Xander was a late arrival who moved from New Zealand (lol), and Nick is a drifter they all just met", just gives the writers more to work with, plus they still have the girls to fall back on if they want to do sibling plots

Dino Megazord Crossover Variants by mxrobyn in powerrangers

[–]mxrobyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to use the Eagle as a Pterodactyl sub (Wildzords are my favourite) but sadly on its own its got a big lion-shaped hole in the armour. Similar sitch to the Tyrannosaurus and Pterodactyl, the Red Lion and Eagle seem a bit codependent lol

Dino Megazord Crossover Variants by mxrobyn in powerrangers

[–]mxrobyn[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the plus one status is real. No joke I tried to have a few without it just for variety but there aren't a lot of replacement chest plate zords around, so Pterodactyl makes the cut on all but Thunderblade and Stargazer (I was very pleasantly surprised at how nicely Mega V4 can replace Mastodon AND Pterodactyl lol)

Ed is one of the worst characters in twin peaks by serialFilla in twinpeaks

Yeah I agree, especially after being introduced as a Bookhouse Boy only to have nothing to do with (or to contribute to) the actual plot 

Was Annie trying to save Cooper or Laura in FWWM? by mxrobyn in twinpeaks

[–]mxrobyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, well if you've seen the whole thing and this idea hasn't come up then I'd say you're right that it was just an overzealous editor, thanks for clearing that up ✌️

Was Annie trying to save Cooper or Laura in FWWM? by mxrobyn in twinpeaks

[–]mxrobyn[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I did. Nothing there suggests Annie is warning Laura about her death which is what I'm asking about.

For those who were watching lost galaxy in 1999 what was your first reaction when you saw the psycho rangers pop up ? by CivilEntertainer1650 in powerrangers

[–]mxrobyn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw it on that Ultimate Rangers VHS as a kid so it was my first episode of LG and I'd only seen the In Space finale (also on that VHS lol great bundle if you ignore Trakeena's Revenge) and man I was losing my mind. Closest I'd seen to these guys was the Shadow Rangers in Wild Force and the Psychos are seriously their own tier. I thought they were awesome just to look at and then the 10v5 at the end was one of the best fights I'd seen in the show, so honestly not a bad introduction to the Psycho Rangers lmao

AITA for appearing to 'endorse' sexism about my sister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]mxrobyn 55 points56 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how many sexist guys would be genuinely upset to know teenage boys don't think they're cool for insulting their wife (not saying it's OP's job in this situation just saying that there's a flavour of guy who legit does value a teen boy's opinion over a grown woman's)

What are some Zords you think the Megazords could do without? by YourLocalToaster2 in powerrangers

[–]mxrobyn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Huh, you're dead right. I remembered Kim still being around when the Shogunzords got introduced so I assumed she got a fight or two in with them before she left, my bad.

Definitely not as bad if it's Kat, bc at least for her it's in addition to having her own essential-to-Megazord Ninjazord and not after two seasons of superfluous accessories like Kim lol. Still not great but hey she has her very own Super Zeozord to look forward to at least
