My review of Power Rangers Dino Charge/Super charge

My review of Power Rangers Dino Charge/Supercharge 

 

Intro: Am I the only one who doesn't find fart jokes funny? Is this what kids or Neo Saban consider amusing?  

Power Ranger Dino/Super Charge: This series takes place in the prehistoric age of earth where an alien name Keeper is being hunted by another alien name Sledge, the reason why he's hunting Keeper is that he has the energems that poses ultimate power. Keeper manages to hide the energems inside the Dinosaurs and blow up Sledge's ship. In the present day, a group of young adults found some of the energems and Sledge survived the explosion and continues his hunt for the gems. So the young people have to protect the energems from Sledge. 

I don’t get why this series got so much buzz. Don’t get me wrong this is a solid season for the most part,(That saying a lot since Neo Saban has been screwing up since they got the rights back.) However it’s not on the same level as Time Force or RPM. This show has the same problems as the other Neo Saban series, as far as the light-hearted tone, remixing the MMPR theme song, splitting the series in half, adding new catchphrases, etc. This is another Dinosaur theme series. I'm fond that you have to earn the energems powers. I'm impressed with the clip note episode, whoever wrote that episode should write a whole series. You'll find this team of rangers absurd. We have a caveman, a medieval knight, a prince, an elder man and a bird-looking alien as rangers.

Tyler/the red ranger is adventurous. I’m kind of annoyed with his subplot because it was done so many times before, however, the creators did something different with it. 

Koda / the blue ranger is the heart of the pack. I was let down by the humor the writers tried to do with him. It wasn’t terrible it’s just the same gag over and over again, whenever he sees a car, phone, or TV he freaks out and destroys it. He reacts this way because he's not from this time period. The one funny thing he did was interrupt a moment between two characters.

Riley/ the green is one of the smart ones of the group.

Chase / the Black ranger is the clown and the jerk of the bunch.

Shelby/ the pink ranger is my future wife, I mean a tomboy and knowledgeable about Dinosaurs. She's the best Pink ranger we've had since Jen from Time Force. 

Ivan/ the gold ranger is Mr. nice guy, that's understandable considering that he's from medieval times. It's hard for me to believe that he can operate his Morpher with ease but is clueless about modern technology.   

Prince Phillip the third/ the graphite ranger is also an arrogant douche bag. However, we see that there’s a good side to him. 

Ms. Morgan is the technical adviser of the team. I want to give her a stunner because I don't like the way she talks or treats my girl Shelby, look at the second episode and you'll see what I mean. She didn’t talk to anyone else like that. I would respect her if she reenacted the promo between HHH and Booker T in 2003. 

I can't comment on the other Rangers because there barely in this series. 

It's hard for me to consider Keeper as a mentor, he's more like the voice of reason, I say that because he helps the rangers with their personal problems. My issue with him is his lack of backstory.

Sledge is lazy I mean he's a bounty hunter, yet he sent monsters to find the energems why can't he find them himself? After seeing what these monsters can do it makes me question how was he able to capture them? After learning why he wants the energems it kind of makes him look worse.  

Sledge's girlfriend Poisandra makes him look less threatening, this is the same complaint I have with Ransik in Time Force. 

Heckyl/Snide ( another villain.) is crafty and enjoyable, his plan to defeat the rangers would have worked if it wasn't rushed. We learn that he has baggage. My beef with him is that the writers don't do anything new with the villain with a split personality. 

I’m not crazy about the morphers in this series, the morphers are guns really? The problems I have with this series is that the creates could have used this ranger team better. For example, there is one episode where Chase ruined things with his girlfriend because of his self-centered attitude then she sees Ivan and becomes attracted to him because he’s a gentleman. That should help him see the error of his ways. Another example have Koda and Ivan doing Ms. Morgan’s job as far as being technical advisers since they're not accustomed to this time period. There are some head-scratching moments in this series, the morphing sequences are a bit long, too many characters in this series and the last episode is a cheap way to end this series. (However, I like that the Rangers got the people to help them stop the villains.) 

Overall, this is an OK series it wasn't good enough to wash the bad taste out my mouth that is Megaforce/Super MegaForce.
