The turtles have the best theme song ever. You can't kick ass without one. Its a scientific fact*.

I'm sorry, but your argument has been proven invalid. Forever.
And as for choosing between the turtles and the rangers... why not both?
I loved Turtles as a kid (and the show on Nickelodeon is fnuggin' awesome), but Power Rangers will always have a special place to me.
I still remember the first time I watched it, a bunch of my friends were always talking about it and how cool it was. I didn't have the channel that showed it, but after a year or so we finally got that channel and the 10-ish old me finally got to watch Power rangers. And I still remember what I said watching it.
"What the FUCK is this shit?"
It was the most bizarre thing I've ever watched! You know what they battled that episode? A mutated purse. I kid you not, a MUTATED PURSE. I guess I have to give it points for originality, but I really thought it was complete crap.
Props to the theme song though. That one still rocks!

I give this one to Herman for the enthusiasm during the toy segment.
Not a PowerRangers fan, but still. *chuckle* Well done.

TMNT is the winner in my book because they have Space Station Modules [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Purpose_Logistics_Module] named after them! lol
Umm... there's the token minority girl and then there's the pretty one?... That statment's phrasing not going to come back to haunt you guys at all...

Now, I understand that beauty is subjective, but, anyone else with me on the "token minority" girl also being the pretty one? I mean, they're both pretty, but come on.

We weren't saying the token minority can't be pretty, we're saying there's one character who's ONLY character trait is to be "Pretty". If anything, the token minority character is more well-rounded than the "Pretty one". Hell, the Nerdy character can be pretty too, but they also have the whole Nerdy thing going for them.Lightknight said:
For sure, it's just the phrasing that's I found surprising. I didn't think they were saying anything actually racist.Firefilm said:
But let's face it, the power ranger's casting is well known for tokenism. The guys in the video aren't wrong about that at all. Also, they (the Power Ranger's prodcuers) really do focus on the white chick being the pretty one. I'd actually say that power rangers is pretty darn filled with latent or even overt racism. So it'd be hard to discuss it without making some kind of verbal slip up.
I just found it weird because I always considered her to be the pretty one and the pink ranger to be an average girl.
It has certainly been some time since my elementary school enjoyment of the show. So I'll take your word for it.slacker09 said:
EDIT: Yeah, that looks a lot more right. I thought maybe she'd since gotten significant work done or something.

I guess I'm a lot more into brunettes now than I was back then because they look pretty equal in appearance to me now as far as the beauty scale. They're both pretty in completely different ways.

Oh, I thought I'd seen her in some B-movies since then. Or maybe I just saw old ones. That's sad.slacker09 said:
xD Well, he did lose. So I'm not sure what you're complaining about.Mikeyfell said:
Pacific Rim, but it's Power Rangers instead of the military of earth and [whatever you call the monsters in power rangers] instead of Kaiju.Firefilm said:
If so, I'm sold.
If not, I'm sure it will be good enough for it's fans.
