From the Command Center
Power Rangers Best and Worst Costumes

About this Episode
Ladies and gentlemen, TF2 and Mike here from
the GeekCast Radio Network and from the Command
Center, our Power Rangers podcast. I just wanted
to give everyone a heads up. Even though in iTunes
and on the RSS feed from the Command Center is
tagged explicit, we've tried, I've tried to keep
the cursing, at least on my part, to a minimum.
Because I know, you know, Scotty and PCN, they
are a family -friendly site. But it is tagged
explicit and I do curse Beta curses a little
bit, but there there's one moment coming up here
in the intro to the show where I Curse a lot.
So just let me give you guys a heads up. There
is cursing in this episode So turn back now if
you don't want to be offended You're the worst
podcaster of all time Mike God Welcome to a collaboration
between the geek cast radio network and the pop
culture network This is from the command center
of the podcast episode 26 I am one of your Steve
Joe Mike and joining me from PCN is Scotty cash.
Hello. Hello senior. How are you? I am good.
I'm okay. Why you say like that? It isn't even
summer yet, and I'm already sick of the damn
heat I am NOT a hot weather person whatsoever
And of course, you know, I have to sit here in
heat in my apartment as far as not having the
AC on cuz it'll come through the mic and then
we'll get people bitching on iTunes about oh,
hey the background noise And also joining us
These super sentai guys spade about matrix. Hello.
Hello. Yes. Yes, and today we are here to talk
about fashion Yeah, I did that a little too well.
So yeah, we're going to be counting down the
best five and the worst five Power Rangers costumes.
Scotty, how did you go about making your list?
It was very difficult, actually. Because to be
honest, there isn't any of the uniforms or suits
that I honestly hate I mean there might be a
small detail that I don't like about it but overall
I like how they're all different you know there's
a couple that might resemble one another but
that doesn't make them bad you know what I mean
like when we were doing villains I legit hated
people like I really hated them people I wish
they didn't exist but it's like these suits it
was actually kind of hard to do this list because
I was like oh but what about this one and it
was more hard to put five on a bad list than
it was to put five on a good list See I started
out with like when I made the bad list I started
out with the number one Well, yeah, and I'm sure
we all have the same one I'm pretty sure I can
none of us have seen each other's lists for this
this this countdown here But I'm pretty sure
are all three of us will have the same number
one worst costume in Power Rangers history I
then went through and for me I went through and
I I wrote down different series and then I mixed
them around and moved them around, and the same
thing for the best ones. I did the same thing.
Actually, I had to combine. I will say right
now, how we're... how... Spadeye talked about
this off air the other day. How he and I have
compiled our list is by series. So whatever the
main suit is in that series, that's what we used.
I have only two exceptions to that rule because
they were a sixth ranger. The other my other
exception is the super mode of one of the suits
because I just think it's badass So you are counting
the super mode is as one of your I? well, I'm
My number one for for best it's the regular suits,
but it also is I Well, don't tell us I'm not
telling you what it is Anyway, what about you
Spada? I just went I looked at all the suits
and I I kind of kept the soup the whatever their
upgraded forms were in the back of my head because
I went with This is how the show was introduced.
These are the suits that we are going to get
for pretty much the rest of the series. Let's
go from there. And I went by teams. I didn't
pick the, oh, I liked the Black Ranger from MMPR
is a best and the Yellow Ranger is MMPR is the
worst. No, I went with the whole team because
let's face it, Power Rangers is about being a
team. And if you're, you've got to be color coordinated,
damn it. Yes, you you really really do There's
not much really going on in Power Rangers news
wise I know that one thing we do need to talk
about did you guys see the I Don't understand
why Rangers are going to TMZ. I just don't get
it Like what what what the hell is so important
about TMZ? Why don't just like if you have something
to say about the reunion? Throw it up on a YouTube
channel that you have. Don't go to TMZ. TMZ,
Mike, TMZ has the eyeballs and the traffic. That
is the only reason. that's but and you know how
you know how Tommy Tommy cheese you know how
Jason David Frank is he is a self promoter to
the end and he will go to wherever the most eyeballs
are TMZ gets crazy traffic I mean absolutely
insane amounts of traffic we're talking like
tens of millions of hits a day yeah Get it. I
just don't like it because when you go to that
place, they will you know, basically, huh? Twist
your words like what happened with the whole
Billion Zach thing. That's the risky run. It's
the risk running in honestly more public You
know what bad publicity is still publicity. Yeah,
there is no there is no bad publicity Yeah, there
I would say there is but If you're trying to
get your name out, then not necessarily. You
know what I mean? Yes. If you start arguing with
so -and -so and you talk bad about his dead mom
and you hate his kids and his dog, someone's
going to go, who is this guy? And they're going
to look up your name. It's still going to get
your name out. Yeah, that's true. All right.
Normally we save this for the end of the show,
but I need to put it here because I'm just so
mad. I'm not mad now, but I was mad initially.
We have two new iTunes reviews. One is from JoeMama1969.
It is a five -star review. The title is theme
songs. I like what you had to say about the themes.
I agree Mystic Force was not good. I love the
SPD and Zeo. I enjoyed the closing song. Was
it Freak Out from Dino Thunder? In the Dino Thunder
episode, yes, yes it was. And he also says that
he did buy... The samurai song says everyday
fun So thank you for the five -star review and
the kind words and your thoughts on the countdowns
the next one is basically On iTunes. We've had
41 total reviews in two years out of 41 reviews
three of them are extremely critical, and this
is the newest one embarrassing one -star review
by Brown coat whatever i don't I don't even know
how to say the rest of the stupid name on this.
One of the hosts is okay, but the other, wow,
the single worst podcaster I've ever heard. He
comes off incredibly amateurish and he says he
does 50 podcasts. Well, obviously he's talking
about me. That's just scary. He's not funny,
but he makes unfunny jokes constantly. You can
tell the other host thinks they aren't funny
because most of the time he doesn't laugh at
them and they're awkward silence when the host
is laughing at his own joke. Almost every joke
works this way. Even when he did a joke with
the opening song, which in and of itself was
fine, then he had to go out of his way to say
he did a joke, which made it unfunny. Also, his
laugh is really annoying. I understand it's not
something he can control. constantly comes off
his own funny jokes, it's just irritating. Now
that's not only the biggest problem, the biggest
nails against the chalkboard I want to scream
at my MP3 player problem is how bad he is at
critical thinking. I almost feel bad for him
because he clearly doesn't have any idea what
critical thinking or analyzing is. The best example
I can come up with is he nitpicked my logic jump
in the MMPR movie and when the other host told
him that he was just nitpicking, he replied by
saying he was just looking at it with a critical
eye. No, looking at it with a critical eye would
be addressing the fact that no one in the entire
film has a character arc, or that the villain
lacks motivation, or that the great power is
both all -powerful and at the same time seems
to do nothing. Small nitpick is critically analyzing
is quite frankly insulting this persists throughout
the entire show that he brings up minor inconsistencies
And he says he's being critical, but ignores
actual problems also when the host discusses
a series He just reads the Wikipedia entry okay
first of all no the only time I have ever read
their Wikipedia entries is when Say Scotty asks
me what zord was that or remind me of this and
that's when I read Wikipedia entries the only
other time I've read Wikipedia entries is when
I was Synopsizing the season of whatever series
of whatever Whatever franchise of it we were
on that's the only I have never directly read
from Wikipedia the entire time of the show Not
like the entire like an hour and a half podcast
is not just me reading from Wikipedia we have
Based off of our opinions more or less than you
know, we've stated plenty of times that He goes
on to say he couldn't even bother to take notes
on the show he's supposed to be reviewing. And
it's not like he just had Wikipedia up for a
quick reference, he just reads Wikipedia verbatim
and often says he doesn't even remember a thing
he's reading about. I've listened to this because
there aren't really other podcasts going throughout
the Power Rangers series. This elementary level
podcast is the only thing there is. I shudder
to think what the host's other 50 podcasts sound
like. You'd think 50 in, he'd have gained some
level of maturity or professionalism. Okay, my
initial reaction when I first read this is, are
you fucking kidding me? Wow. When I sat back
and I looked at it, I was like, sure, you know.
There are certain podcasts out there that I don't
like listening to certain hosts So I won't listen
to that show do I go on iTunes and give them
a negative review? Because I don't like the sound
of their voice or the sound of their laugh or
whatever. No, I don't I just go, you know, I
just I just ignored I understand I actually searched
out in doing research to reply to this this review
here Besides us and no pink spandex There's only
maybe two other major Three other major Power
Rangers podcasts in iTunes. So, you know One
bad review out of 41 You know and in the in in
the past when we were just beginning yes I know
there are a couple of of negative reviews on
iTunes saying that we're getting our facts wrongs
and stuff like that We did that in the beginning.
I'm you know, like Scotty just said, you know
We've you know, we've always stated that sometimes
we get our facts wrong But the fact that this
guy says that I'm the worst podcast ever Podcaster
ever um no there are Trust me. I've heard worse
than me But you know his personal opinion Mike
yeah, no I know and that's fine, and he can have
that and he can go to his little corner of the
world And he's probably just trying to prove
a point if he if he if you look him dead in the
eye and said I'm the really the worst Podcaster
ever he'd be like okay. You know what I mean.
I'm sure he doesn't mean you're the worst he's
just Trying to get a point across. Yeah, you're
on and I get that and I'm fine Like like I said,
I think I first read I think I sent you guys
the email on Sunday about this Yeah, so I first
read this on Sunday and you know again initial
reaction to any negative review For me is like
what I just said a second ago, you know Because
I have been doing this. I have been actually
podcasting for five years Steve and I started
the network. It'll be four years ago this June
1st, so yay for anniversaries. But I have immensely
grown. If he wants an example of my worst podcasting,
go listen to my very first show. You know what
I mean? It's one of those things where he can
have his opinion and that's fine. And i'm not
gonna let it get me down and i'm not gonna let
it stop us from doing what we're doing here now
You know, but it's still You I have to already
let it you already let it get you down Nah, not
really already got frustrated about it. He obviously
I got I got frustrated about it. Did it put me
into a deep depression? No, not really I would
hope the god of somebody's opinion doesn't put
you in a deep depression, even if it's the pope
You know, that's there. I mean, I guess i'm different
than everybody else but I could care less what
somebody thinks. I don't, I don't read YouTube
comments. I don't read when you sent us that
link. I assumed it was bad. I could care less.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The, when I sent
you guys the link about the, we have, we do have
a lot of fans and I appreciate all the fans that
have continued on and listened with us. Um, there's
one guy that's actually started out, uh, he's
a member on the PCN boards, uh, chaotic 12345.
Uh, he's a super supporter of ours. And I sent
you the, when I sent you the link, I wanted you
to look at it because it's, he was pointing out
stuff. Oh, no, I did look at that. But when you're
like, look at this mother f***** thing, I'm just
like, I don't have time for this. No, I, I read
that and he's probably right. It probably was
the, the ranger from what he said, mega force.
Yeah. Well, whatever. They're all the same. If
you're, you're yellow, you're yellow. Alright,
we're gonna start out with the worst of the worst
today. So we're gonna get to our top five worst
after this the five worst Power Rangers costumes.
Unlike last week, I do only have one honorable
mention here since seeing as how everyone complained
about, oh, you can't have more than one. Go ahead,
never mind. Ninja Storm. I just didn't care for
the designs on the Ninja Storm outfits. They're
not like, oh my god, horrible, but I just like,
I like the Thunder Rangers. I thought those were
cool, but the actual, the three Ninja Storm,
the main three Ninja Storm Rangers, I didn't
care for those outfits at all. Weren't they exactly
the same, but different colors? Um, that's probably
why I didn't care for them. Well, I'm saying,
you said the Thunder Rangers. They were exactly
the same thing. No, no, no, no. Maybe I'm thinking
of their... No, they were slightly different.
Spada? I don't know. I don't remember. Maybe
I'm thinking of the Thunder Zords. The Thunder
Rangers Zords. I don't know. I don't know. Because
they had those kind of weird looking Zords. We'll
talk about it later, because I'm sure that's
going to show up in somebody's list. Oh. All
right, so getting to the worst. Oh, well, Spada,
do you have any honorable mentions for worst?
Indeed, I do. My honorable mention for the worst
is Lord Zed's evil rangers. The psychos? No.
Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah. For
those of you who don't know, when Lord Zed I
can't remember if it was in the very beginning,
but at one point in like a two or a three parter,
Lord Zed got these kids from high school, or
the high school they were all that everyone was
going to, and put them in the worst, most god
-awful costumes I have ever seen. Like, first
-year cosplayers could do better jobs than that.
I think that. I could be wrong. People can correct
us. I... Know it wasn't mutiny because the mutiny
three -parter was was basically zeds in Introduction,
I think it might have been island of illusion,
but I could be wrong Any other honorable mention
nope just that one that's not that's how it works
Mike just one They can't see this and you people
at home can't hear this I'm flipping them both
off right now Scotty honorable mentions. No,
not really What is your number five Scotty for
worst costume my number five and again? There's
probably only one costume that I could do without
and I don't even hate it and it's gonna be obviously
my number one But my number five is light speed
rescue again. I don't mind lights be rescue costume
at all In fact, I kind of like it. But if I have
to put it on a list, it's just kind of ordinary
It's kind of plain. It's gonna be my my number
five It's beta five Give me just a second my
number five is actually space Really yeah Because
but the only thing they have is that thing going
across the chest and that's about it all the
helmet designs are practically the same Yeah,
there's no difference in the helmets and overall.
It's kind of boring And plus their actual, I
know this isn't part of the actual Ranger costume,
but their jackets are essentially AOL emails.
Yes. The messenger. You've got mail. They were
just ahead of the times, dude. Apparently so.
Alright, my number five is... Where's your dog,
Charlie Brown? Yeah. Lost Galaxy. They are the
Charlie Brown costumes of Power Rangers. Oh,
man. It's just... You know, there's no... Sure,
the helmets are different, and that's all great
and cool, but the actual design of the actual
costumes, they're all the same. And I get it.
It's supposed to be a team. It's supposed to
be a uniform thing. But who is making up these
costumes? Who made up the idea for... them to
have multicolored Charlie Brown shirts. Some
dude in Japan. Obviously Snoopy. It's Woodstock
getting revenge. Alright, number four Scotty.
In Space. Wow. Yep, kind of just reminds me of
Turbo, slightly different. Yeah, I can see that.
And again, I don't hate it, it's just not one
of my favorites. Spada number four time force
Hell is wrong with you. It's a giant freaking
arrow pointing to their crotch What time is it
look down I mean seriously come on Okay, my number
four is samurai I don't The First of all, they
don't use the the training suits enough second
of all the actual Ranger costumes I Hate the
whole symbol power makes their helmet shapes.
I understand. That's the point of it, but it
just looks too strange to me Jaden's helmet looks
like it's something out of a bad horror movie.
Well, it is Jaden That's true All right number
three Scotty lost galaxy Wow Yeah, I mean it's
you know again, I don't mind it Just kind of
ordinary just kind of plain. You know, I mean
nothing really spectacular about it Yeah, it's
beta number four number Three yeah number three
turbo because there's really not much from that
series I like I get the overall design aesthetic
is okay, but when you have a little yellow parallelogram
or trapezoid or whatever the hell that shape
is on their chest and it's off yellow to be with
the yellow ranger. And they all have I will admit
the headlights built into their helmets is actually
kind of cool because I mean, you know at night
I kind of wish I had a mounted headlight or something
like that. That'd be kind of cool. But I Don't
know there's not much from turbo that I do like
Yeah, you just love Justin. That's it, right?
Oh fuck that guy. Oh, come on What about you
Mike who's your third Wild Force just out of
the original five Rangers I just find those suits
to be very bland the helmets are cool because
obviously they're all designed after the animals
but the actual like they're the actual body suit
it's just yeah and hey let's have you know company
emblems on the upper left portion of our chests
no it's just bland as all hell What's your number
two, Scotty? Operation Overdrive. Oh, really?
Yeah. Just wasn't a fan of them. My second and
first one are both kind of like, they're probably
the only ones that I'm just like, meh. You know
what I mean? Yeah. I still don't hate them. Just
don't love them. Spada, number two. Jungle Fury.
OK. Why? Now, the power or the upgraded suits
that they get are much, much better. I will say
that first of all. But the original Jungle Fury
suits are besides the black highlights on their
upper torso, there's nothing else to the suit.
I mean, it's just like, OK, we took red spandex,
blue spandex and yellow spandex and added just
a very little bit of hint of of color black based
on the animal that they are representing. I will
admit, I do like their helmets, but okay, they're
all cats. You effectively have the Voltron Rangers
going on here. That get activated by sunglasses.
Yes. My number two is the Alien Rangers. First
of all, I hate everything about the Alien Rangers.
I never liked them at all and their costumes
are just fugly. They just are. Alright Scotty,
what is your number one? Mystic Force. Spada?
My number one is the Alien Rangers. Really? What?
Yeah. Okay then. Wow. Because they are boring,
they are stupid, they just are absolutely terrible
looking to me, but if you watch the Japanese
version of the show, the characters have actual
ninja garb that they're wearing in like everyday
movements. What the hell's a garb? Clothing.
Ninja clothing. Like underneath? Or what do you
mean? No, they're not wearing street clothes.
You never. I don't think when I have seen like
real ninjas, like real ninjas. Yeah, they are
dressed like real ninjas would be in their normal
everyday garb. Gotcha. And it looks so much better
than what they end up with in Ranger form. I
get the simplistic design. I get what they were
going for. But let's face it, the Alien Rangers
on the whole compared to the whole Power Rangers.
Most people don't really like the Alien Rangers
saga. Yeah, no, not at all. Well, not only that
we don't need to get into it. Yeah, you're right
We'll get into when we do commentaries on some
of those episodes. Yeah, I'm sick that day, dude
Bad episode whatever some you'll bleed for this
podcast. You know, you will probably My number
one worst costume It's a quote Edna No capes
mystic force. Oh my god They're powered up versions
were better than the original versions. I'll
admit that but oh God Power Rangers do not need
Capes for costumes. Oh Spada do you you didn't
in your top five? You didn't have mystic force.
Do you like the mystic force costumes? We'll
talk about that later. Okay. Wow. Holy cow Why
didn't you like the mystic force costume Scotty?
Probably more so because of the cape. I mean,
I do like the color of... I'm a big fan of when
the outfits are mostly colored. You know what
I mean? Right. But, I don't know, I could just
really do without the capes. Alright, we're gonna
take a quick break and we'll come back with our
five best Power Rangers costumes after this.
They're too strong for us. Rangers, use your
morphers. Hey, you! With the hot temper! You
want to destroy Mariner Bay? You must go through
us to do it. Gladly! Dino gem let me guess the
power of invisibility looks like it that jam
belongs to my master There's two things you guys
need to learn about dino gems one. You can't
choose them. They choose you. What's the other?
They go real well with dino morphers Aren't you
a little old for this Tommy I may be old but
I can still pull it off It's time to get to the
good stuff. It's time to get to our five best
Power Rangers costumes. I have one honorable
mention. I don't know why they didn't make my
list, but you'll see. The honorable mention I
have is the MMPR movie suits. I love those things.
It was a more sleek, metallic, basically embossed
looking version of the MMPR television suits.
They were just so cool Cool yeah, they definitely
were any honorable mentions Scotty spada psycho
Rangers Okay, they're not technically the reason
I get give them an honorable mention is because
They're not good guys. They are not the Rangers,
but they are damn cool Yeah, I would like to
switch my honorable mention to the psycho Rangers
as well That's funny. All right, Scotty. Number
five, what do you got for best? RPM. Oh my god.
You actually like RPM. Oh, absolutely. Just because
they're different. You know, they're supposed
to be a race car suit. So, you know, they got
their animal with their number on their chest.
And then they got the straps that are kind of
like seat belts for, you know, high speed vehicles
or whatever, or harnesses or whatever you want
to call them. And I just kind of like them. It's
just a little bit different. other than, you
know, a Charlie Brown scribble across the chest
or, you know, a cape. Again, this was really
hard to do, so five is RPM. Spada, number five.
Megaforce. Really? Yes. Megaforce outfits are
awesome. I really like the Megaforce outfits.
Now, the show itself on Well, we'll talk about
that after the show is done. After, I mean, the
Megaforce show is done. Yes, I know. But they
are all very interesting. I mean, the gold lining.
You look at a Ranger and you can pretty much
guess if they're land, sea or air. The overall
aesthetic and just combined look of the suit
is very cool. Plus, their token zord animal is
trying to eat their face on the side of their
helmet. I like that for some reason. Why am I
flashing to 10 things I hate about you? I have
a dick on my face, don't I? I was thinking more
like 10 ,000 ways to die, but hey Yeah, I don't
watch that show on spike TV Alright my number
five is light speed rescue Lightspeed rescue
suits are basically a military -based suit because
obviously they come from the Aqua base and I
just I thought their head their their helmet
designs are the most unique out of any series
that I had seen up to that point and It was just
so cool and for some strange reason when they
did the morphing sequence and the whole chest
thing pops out and it kind of reminds me of I
don't know volleyball almost in that morphing
sequence where they throw the thing out and then
step into it to morph what kind of volleyball
do you play very interesting Kentucky volleyball
because usually we just hit the ball over the
net I don't know what the hell you're talking
about you Go back and watch the light speed rescue
morphing sequence and hopefully you'll see what
I see. But if you don't, whatever. Well, let
me just say that the light speed morphing light
speed rescue morphing sequence is so much better
than go go fives. Oh, it is world's better. Yeah,
it's like the whole like it's like something
that I don't even know how to explain it. But
yeah, I mean, I do. I dig the the morphing sequences.
Just I just think the suits are kind of bland.
They almost like that that flag. I don't even
know what flag that is. You mean umbrella for
Resident Evil? Yeah, whatever. I'm sure they
got a flag somewhere in that game. No, that is
pretty similar to the flag in Resident Evil for
Umbrella Corporation. Yeah, the Umbrella Corporation.
It doesn't help that the Lightspeed Rescue folks
have giant targets in the middle of their body
mass. Yeah, that's true. When before, Scotty?
Samurai. I love the samurai outfits the different
colors with the black pants The symbol on their
helmet is all different all the way around It's
just I don't know. I just really I really dig
the samurai, you know outfits and I know we're
not talking too much about powered up modes,
but Once he got that white coat then what that
mofo looked badass He was he was badass. No,
he looked like You know, 1998, 1997, 1998 JLo
in that green dress. That's what that white coat
reminds me of is that JLo that famous JLo dress.
It makes me think of the white. The white coat
makes me think of Dr. Strange. Especially the
red one in the team up movie. All right. Your
number four, Spada SPD. I like it simply because
each costume is asymmetrical and. I kind of dig
the numbers. I like the numbering sequence. And
then they get their SWAT upgrades. SWAT mode
was so cool. The SWAT mode literally pops out
of the rest of their outfit. And I'm just like,
oh, hell yes. You went from little dinky gun
to giant ass cannon? Yes. And then there's doggy
who he has a freaking 100 painted over his chest
and giant samurai sword and he pretty much kicks
everyone's butt In fact, it's the final battle
in the show isn't the Power Rangers. It's doggy
Kruger Who are the Shadow Ranger? He's the Shadow
Ranger, right? Yep, Shadow Ranger. I keep calling
him Deca Master You can call him whatever you
want My number four regardless of spade is inappropriate
Saying that they're basically pointing to their
crotches. I still love the time force uniforms.
I thought those are so cool Yeah, like everything
about time force is cool. I love the show. Don't
get me wrong. Love the show I know you do I know
you do What is your number three Scotty? SPD
I like how They have the numbers on their chest
and it's going up and down instead of across
All right, Spada number three. Mystic Force!
Why? No, we're doing good lists this time, Spada.
Yeah, what the hell? I dig the capes. And then
their powered up forms are just badass. You can't
count that, though. Well, I know that. I am well
aware of that, but I actually really like the
Mystic Force outfits. The one thing you guys
need to realize is I've also... In Japan... People
who are of magical persuasion or are learning
magic always are shown as having like half capes
So this is this is normal in Japanese pop culture
There are a lot of other anime shows and a lot
of other manga that have this like half cape
and So for me, that's perfectly normal. I see
that a lot And plus, the version of their zords
are pretty much right there in the masks, though
I do admit that red, green, and yellow, it would
be very hard to see out of those helmets, I admit
that fully. And the whole, the entire insignia
of their, of their ranger -dom, yeah, the show,
the M for mystic, or for magic, is built into
the lines of the suit. They're very cool suits.
I like them a lot, but I totally understand why
people hate them. Well, yeah. Well, you're also,
you're looking at it from a different point of
view. Like you have a little bit more, you know,
and obviously we're doing these lists on personal
opinions and your personal opinion is based off
of, uh, knowledge from the Sentai show with,
you know, people learning and, and you know,
learning magic and only having half a cape. So
it means a little bit more to you and it makes
a little bit more sense to you. Me and Mike.
Watch mystic force and see a power ranger suit
with a cape And you know exactly but also if
you look back at the show when they're in the
secret woods of stupid They have the half capes
as well They do. Yeah Wow So it transfers that
out because they sure did not yeah, it actually
transfers from the show of them being in that
Stupid woods They have the capes there when they're
practicing and then when they morph they have
the capes in morphed form as well Yeah, Mike
only has a half a computer because he's the worst
podcaster ever. He's still learning My number
three Your outfits I'm sorry. What was that Mike?
I couldn't hear I couldn't hear you over the
half of microphone. You're using I'm having a
good time right now My number three is the MMPR
suits. They're nice, they're cool, I like them.
They're alright, they were the originals, they're
great. I still have, in my personal opinion,
I still like two others better. Actually, technically
four others, but we'll get to that later. I thought
they were super cool when the show first debuted,
but as we've seen other suits since then... For
me, they're not the best suits that I absolutely
love. Like if I'm gonna wear, not that I could,
but if I was going to wear a Mighty Morphin -era
suit, it would not be one of the main five. Number
two, Scotty? Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I
love the suits. Absolutely love the suits. 100
% don't hate anything about the suits and in
fact, I love you know, the Green Ranger suit
as well I know we're not we're not necessarily
counting that but yes, we are right. Oh, yes.
We well I Just keep going But yeah, just just
a big fan Spada ninja storm. Yeah, I love ninja
storm suits. I freaking love these suits and
the reason i like the suits is because of their
simplicity but not only that if you actually
look at the suits of the three main rangers they're
multi -layered the suits have yes there's their
typical color i get that and i understand that
a lot of the simplicity would not be liked based
on what we've had in the past at that point but
they're ninjas they're supposed to be simple
plus they have chainmail on their arms or reasonable
facsimile of chainmail on their arms and then
the Thunder Rangers are just freaking awesome
and then the Green Samurai Ranger is pretty badass
plus he has a giant bat for a weapon I mean that's
pretty cool I could deal without his spinning
helmet. The spinning helmet is a little dumb.
I will admit that. Especially if you were inside
the helmet. That would, that would give me a
headache. That's gotta, that's gotta give you
a bad hair day right out of the gate. Oh, oh,
oh God. Yeah. Green samurai hair twist. And Cam
did not have short hair. Yes he did. Cam had
short hair. Still, that would get caught. Yeah,
it would still mess up. Oh, no, no, I'm not saying,
but it's not like he has like, you know, rock
star, you know, 80s rock metal hair. No, it's
not like he has Tommy's hair, no. Yeah, no, no,
no, no. Yeah, no. Speaking of, I'm cheating.
I don't care. It's my show. I can cheat if I
want to. You can cheat. Number two, the green
and the white ranger from Whitey Morphin Power
Rangers. Now, the only reason why I'm cheating
is because technically, He was not part of the
team originally, with the Green Ranger, and with
the White Ranger, he became the leader of the
team. So what's that mean? Why can't you just
use him as the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger suits?
Because his suits were different. His green suit
was different from the original's. Well, okay,
sure, the shield. I guess you could argue the
shield is the only thing different. But the white
suit was completely different from... From the
original MMPR suits. So yeah green and white
Tommy number two All right, the number one. What
is your number one Scotty? What do you think
my number one is? Just say it already Power Rangers
Zio That's right. Yeah, I still I still can't
get over those helmets I absolutely love the
helmets because they're numbered from one to
five with their points I love their it's not
really a What do you call the like the shoulder
pads, but all of the suits have the the crest
Yeah, the crest with the gold around it Gold
on the belts gold on the boots. They're all solid
colors You know and most of the outfits the girls
have like the mini skirts or whatever He's also
have the mini skirts and then to top it off I
don't care what anybody says the best -looking
Power Rangers suit of all time the black and
gold Ranger that thing is amazing looking and
that's why they're my number one only if Jason's
in it to hell with Trey that's fine Trey was
in it for like 13 seconds scrap I know Trey was
in it for 13 seconds all three of them yeah Spada
what is your number one MMP are the original
and the reason I'm going with the original is
quite frankly it's the one that got it started
that started everything and to this day I still
look back on it very fondly with a lot of love
in my heart plus let's face it the Green Ranger
was fucking awesome he was he just looked badass
and they they all have dinosaurs for helmets
I mean how more awesome do you need to be yeah
and I don't want to sound I don't want to sound
uh don't make me hurt you whatever No, no, no,
but like they have like the matching diamonds
on the magic on the matching gloves or like they're
you know, They're risk and the boots. Yeah. Yes.
I'm saying the boots Yeah, I mean, I love those
outfits. I you know the giant chest diamonds.
They just they look amazing now Yes, I will freely
admit that this show came out back in the what
was it for Super Sentai? No for Super Sentai.
It's even older. I think 35 36 I want to say
it was a 92 So just a year older. So, yeah, it
was the early 90s in Japan. But still, they are
badass and they will always be my favorite team
from because they were the first and they have
arguably one of the best some of the best weapons
individually, too. Well, arguably, I said, arguably,
I just thought, oh, crap, now we now people are
going to want us to do a top 10 weapon show.
We are not doing that. We're not doing that.
Well, we kind of are we're kind of not My number
one I Would effectively say outside of nostalgia
and outside of growing up with the original MMPR
that this season is By far the one I love the
most Dino Thunder People go back and listen to
all the countdowns we've done pretty much Dino
Thunder has been my number one every single time.
Yep. I Thought that the Dino Thunder suits were
really cool. I really enjoyed them When I mentioned
earlier about the super mode, I love how they
did the super modes for Dino Thunder I thought
that was super cool. And the most and the most
recent Super Sentai Kyo Ryuger is copying that.
Oh wow. um specifically honestly the the white
ranger in dino thunder the way his super dino
mode was done that was super awesome very very
awesome dino thunder just as a whole is pretty
damn good yes yes it is any other final thoughts
