I've never seen MMPR: The Movie, so all I can say about it is that it inspired one of the worst items of merchandise ever - a plastic bust of Ivan Ooze which is designed to leak purple goo over your knuckles.

Mmmm. Snarkalicious.

I've seen plenty of action figure slime toys before (TMNT is famous for it as is MOTU) but never one designed to get the slime all over YOU. And every one of those other slime toys seem to have been designed with something to catch the slime or at least be played with over a table to catch it. I can't understand why someone would think getting the slime all over your fingers would be fun.

That toy is downright disgusting.

What gets me is that it's... just his head and shoulders. It's not even painted, and it doesn't look like it can even stand upright. I could understand an action figure that oozed goo, but something which is completely useless when it's not oozing goo?

The clean-up looks nightmarish. Where are you supposed to store the goo when you are not using it?

The Power Transfer, Part I: So many years later, and I STILL remember how awful and disappointing it was. Ya know, they shouldn't have paid the actors a lot, they should've done a flashback with Jason when he came back later...insert him into the episode, dangit ( ... )

The Power Transfer: I cannot stress enough how much this episode personally pains me. The whole run of episodes leading up to it are the low point in the franchise's history

The Wedding: I wouldn't go that far. But her actress is a better comedienne than the old one who was WAAAAYYYY too broad to be funny.

Wild West Rangers: I don't think it would have worked if they were just soul ancestors. I can forgive it. I just don't think the episode thought through the implication of proto-Tommy meeting proto Kimberly.

MMPR:TM I wouldn't say they were trying for a mature audience but definitely a general one including adults. I guess they didn't want the adults to get bored. But I can't see any adult who wasn't already a fan enjoying this at all.

The Wedding: I was just trying to be funny.

Wild West Rangers: They probably just wanted to dumb it down for kids.

MMPR:TM: True, but...it's tough with something like Power Rangers.

Wild West Rangers: There was a little of that but mostly I think they wanted to establish that Zordon already knew the Power Rangers' ancestors. I think that was the bigger idea.

MMPR: TM: It's not THAT tough. Movies based on TV series are almost always inferior to the source material. The South Park and Beavis and Butt-Head movies being the only exceptions I can think of.
