** Also in ''S.P.D.'' he discusses the time scale of the series -- if one presumes that each season takes place in the year it was produced, as is usually implied, the LongRunner nature of the series means there's a continuity problem on the horizon as ''S.P.D.'' takes place in 2025 and says at the time, aliens are living on Earth alongside humans and are accepted as an everyday facet of life. Presuming ''Power Rangers'' is still on the air with new seasons by that point, he doubts that aliens will start being added to the cast rosters to reflect ''S.P.D.'s'' future that should now be coming to pass. He proposes the only way to reconcile this is to assume that a "year" in the ''Power Rangers'' universe is longer than in the real world, thus giving them a larger timescale to have events happen. He does concede though that after ''Mystic Force'', it's possible that having magical creatures become integrated into human society might have laid the groundwork for acceptance of aliens in the future.

The most current review thus far is of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury'', being released as its sequel series ''Cosmic Fury'' is under development. Linkara has [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/135918669558 announced]] that since the series will be completely caught-up, new episodes will only be released after a new season has been released in it's entirety (assuming seasons are normally split into two mini-seasons, a new episode about every two years). There are also possible episodes depending on Patreon requests, and will likely focus more on ''Power Rangers'' [[FollowTheLeader "copycats"]] like ''Series/MaskedRider'', ''{{Series/Beetleborgs}}'', ''Series/VRTroopers'', and ''Series/TattooedTeenageAlienFightersFromBeverlyHills''. He's also going back and addressing the mistakes he'd made in earlier videos and has tentatively announced that he plans on remastering all the previous episodes of HOPR up to ''Operation Overdrive''.

[[folder:''Power Rangers In Space'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles do not believe in the Power Rangers, claiming that they are "Pretend" and "Imaginary." Barring the fact that Angel Grove has monster-preparedness drills and evacuation plans, and that the rangers had been on TV before, or that monster attacks frequently made the news, the point is again made: These are Teenaged Mutated reptiles who train in the art of ninjitsu. Even if that wasn't enough, the people they're talking to are Astronema and Elgar, ''who are space aliens. '''And the Turtles know this.'''''
* AuthorsSavingThrow: In the revised review, Linkara feels that the more serious nature of the season, along with having the Rangers act alone with no mentor, was ''way'' better handled than what ''Turbo'' tried. [[invoked]]
* TheChessmaster: Notes that Astronema is easily the most competent villain up to this point in the franchise, avoided the same petty plans that other villains did and kept her eye either on defeating the rangers or causing destruction.
* ChewingTheScenery: While he praises Astronema for being a genuinely intimidating villain, he laments the fact that especially in the earlier episodes the producers ''really'' had her chewing the scenery. He even shows clips of some of her more hammy line deliveries in the rerelease of his ''In Space'' review subtitled with "Oscar Bait".
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In the revised video, Linkara notes that Lieutenant Stone, Principal Caplan, and Ms. Appleby are no longer around as the showrunners had no more ideas for them. Personally, Linkara doesn't mind this as it adds to the Rangers growing more as young adults, especially with the recurring plot of trying to look for Zordon.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Linkara mentions that the broken Mastadon Power Morpher Adam still had opened a lot of potential that destroyed powers can be rebuilt and brought back, given that the latter was still able to morph with the wrecked morpher. This would lead to future crossovers where some of the Rangers regained their powers despite losing them.
* FreeRangeChildren: Notes the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness of the writers of the show trying to create plotlines revolving around the Rangers still being in High School, since the Rangers were also shown being very busy in their duties as Rangers and trying to locate Zordon. He even questions outright where their parents ''think'' they are since they are obviously not going home. That being said, he was glad when the show just dropped the High School thing altogether partway through the season.
* GrandFinale: As Linkara mentioned, production went into ''In Space'' believing that it would be the final season for Power Rangers and went and did everything to make it a thrilling conclusion. A more dynamic storyline, closure on some loose ends ''Turbo'' had, bringing back Adam and the Black Mighty Morphin Ranger Powers since ''Zeo'', and an ending to Bulk and Skull's character development. While it ended up not being the true ending to ''Power Rangers'' as a whole, Linkara feels that it's a perfect end to the ''Zordon Era'', and one that was a perfect closure to a childhood television show.
* HumanAliens: Linkara finds it weird that Andros is an alien from KO-35 that just so happens to be human (for the record, Andros says outright he's human, not an alien species like [[MesACrowd Trey from Triforia]] or the [[FishPeople Aquitians]] who ''look'' mostly human but clearly have different biology).
* IAmSpartacus: Rarely does Linkara show full scenes seriously, but he features Bulk and Skull's shining moment in its entirety.
* InMemoriam: In the revised review, Linkara replaced the Under Pressure montage with a somber montage of all the times Zordon imparted his wisdom, and shots of all the Ranger teams during the Zordon Era.
* PragmaticAdaptation: At the beginning of the review, Linkara notes that the production crew looked at ''Denji Sentai Megaranger'' and believed that the Sentai was going to be spaced themed... except they later learned that ''Megaranger'' was an electronic themed Sentai that just so happened to have space-themed zords. Since the show was going to be cancelled after this season anyway, the crew decided to go with the space idea. And based on how successful the season was, it worked out spectacularly!
* PlotParallel: He describes how the episode "Wasp With a Heart" is essentially Astronema's story arc told in one episode.
* PsychoRangers: Is very pleased to see the TropeNamers that finally gave us a team of evil Power Rangers that weren't just random villains.
* PropRecycling[[invoked]]: In the revised review, Linkara notes that the new Surf Shack is actually a modified set of the old Juice Bar area. Although that begs the question ''why'' they did not keep the Juice Bar.
** Linkara also notes that Dark Specter's monster suit is a reused Malagor from "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie". He even calls Dark Specter Malagor a few times in the review.
* PutOnABus: Notes that after [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster]] are saved by the Rangers they just disappear and are never heard from again, even though they likely would have been very useful to keep around.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap[[invoked]]:
** While Linkara wasn't nearly as hateful towards Justin as regular fans, he admitted that "True Blue to the Rescue", Justin's last appearance in the franchise, was an [[ADayInTheLimelight excellent episode]] showcasing all the good points of the character while also resolving hanging elements from ''Turbo''.
** He is also happy with the new voice chip and personality given to Alpha 6, considering the change an improvement over the annoying faux jive-talk of the previous season.
* TakeThatScrappy[[invoked]]: Multiple times to Elgar. He replays the scene where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kick him out of the way multiple times while laughing and crowing "That's for Zordon's energy tube, you cone-headed freak!"
* TheUntwist[[invoked]]: Notes that Astronema being Karone is pretty obvious by the time it's revealed.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: Talks about how this season ([[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy and the next one]], for that matter) planned on finally resolving the mystery regarding the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Phantom Ranger]], but that the story arc had to be scrapped. In the revised review, he mentions that Judd Lynn wrote a scene where the Phantom Ranger's identity was to be revealed, but it was scrapped when the finale became a two-parter instead of the intended three-parter. Even more interesting, Linkara says that Shuki Levy suggested that the Phantom Ranger was the spirit of the past Rangers that fell in battle, a concept he finds both stupid and awesome.
* WinBackTheCrowd: [[invoked]] After noting ''Turbo'' almost killed a struggling franchise, ''In Space'' was planned to be the GrandFinale to the series. But it was just ''so'' grand it brought the fans back in droves, and the series continued.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Lost Galaxy'']]
* AlasPoorVillain: Admits that scene with Trakeena watching Scorpious die manages to be a good TearJerker despite Scorpious mostly being a generic villain.
--> '''Linkara:''' "[...] it almost makes you forget that one of them is wearing a bug on her head and the other is a [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles tentacle hentai monster]]..."
* AngstWhatAngst[[invoked]]: One issue he takes with Maya's character. She barely reacts to her homeworld being turned to stone from that point on. Not that Linkara thinks there's anything wrong with having an upbeat personality, but it comes off as being in denial of what happened to her planet rather than someone who just managed to move on with a positive outlook following a tragedy.
* ArcFatigue[[invoked]]: Has this feeling about the Lights of Orion arc, feeling that it went on too long and was only saved by the presence of the [[AntiHero Magna Defender]].
* BizarreHumanBiology: After Karone's [[SwissArmyTears tears heal]] a [[TakenForGranite man she previously turned to stone]] (and after Andros's tears healed Karone in ''In Space''), Linkara just gives up trying to rationalize it and just assumes all [[HumanAliens humans from KO-35]], in addition to [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]], have magic healing tears.
* CannonFodder: Dislikes the Stingwingers, not only for their uninteresting design and lack of personality but also because they were completely ineffective. Even the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Piranhatrons]] could be a threat in a large group, whereas Stingwingers always died in droves. The only time the Stingwingers were even ''kind of'' effective was when they had [[SuicideAttack bombs strapped to their chests]], but even then Linkara points out the Galaxy Rangers tanked a few of their explosions with little damage.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Notes that [[SixthRanger Zhane]] is the only Ranger from ''In Space'' who’s absent from the team-up episodes, joking that he’s “probably just making out with Karone somewhere.”
* ContrivedCoincidence: Shakes his head over the fact the caves for the Lights of Orion happen to have already been on the Lost Galaxy space station since it would require the viewer to not only assume to build the station they took entire chunks of the Earth and put them in a dome, but that one of those chunks just happened to include a fully intact cave that housed a millennia-old artifact inside of it.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Kendrix's death. Complete with a brief shot of his reaction.
* EvilVirtues: He notes that the season's theme was virtuous villains, such as the [[NobleDemon chivalrous]] Villamax and the [[UndyingLoyalty undyingly loyal]] [[IronicName Treacheron]].
* HesBack: As mentioned directly above, Linkara rarely shows entire scenes, but decides to do so due to the sheer epic of the PsychoRangers' return.
* HilariousInHindsight: [[invoked]] Karone becoming the Pink Ranger was mirrored with Astronema's statement in the previous season "I wouldn't want to be a Power Ranger anyway!"
* TheMentor: Like In Space, Linkara says there is no mentor to the team. Though in the updated review, Linkara says that Commander Stanton is one to Kai as he teaches the latter not to be too rigid in the rules.
* MissingEpisode: In the updated version, Linkara mentions the unused script that would have featured Cassie protecting the Astro Megaship ala Die Hard. However, Linkara does ask why they did not rewrite the script to feature another character.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Praises that even though Captain Mutiny is a GenericDoomsdayVillain, he, unlike Divatox, is actually a subversion is the trope and acts like an actual pirate.
* PlotHole: Linkara does [[DiscussedTrope point out the fact]] that Scorpius and his minions somehow avoided destruction at the hands of [[WorldHealingWave Zordon's energy wave]] with no explanation, but just assumes these particular evil forces were outside of the wave's effects.
* PostScriptSeason: While some people consider Lost Galaxy to be a standalone season, Linkara feels that it's an epilogue season to the Zordon Era based on multiple things: characters from previous seasons that make appearances, continuity that appeared with respect, and showing that the legacy of the Power Rangers is still around.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Riding off the success of In Space, the production crew decided to do another space opera-themed season with the ''Seiju Sentai Ginagman'' (which was nature-themed).
* PropRecycling: [[invoked]]
** Linkara notes that the Terra Venture security suits are from Starship Troopers.
** At the beginning of the revised ''Lightspeed Rescue'' review, Linkara says that some fans told him that the Magna Defender Morpher was the Aura Changer from ''Dairanger''. He did not feel to mention it in the review because it had no bearing in Power Rangers and it did not affect production at all.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Notes that this is the reason for Kendrix's HeroicSacrifice; Valerie Vernon was diagnosed with leukemia and had to leave the show to undergo treatment (she got better, and is currently still alive; she wanted to come back for the 20th anniversary, but couldn't sort out arrangements to look after her children, which is Heartwarming in itself.).
* RookieRedRanger: Discusses this in regards with Leo. Linkara notes that some parts of Leo's rash behavior stemmed more from the guilt of Mike's supposed death and when the latter came back, he felt unworthy of staying as the Red Ranger because Mike pulled the Quasar Saber out of the stone instead of himself. However, Leo did grow more as the season continued and proved to be worthy as the Red Ranger when he defeated Trakeena in the end.
* SixthRanger: Discussed- Linkara, like some fans, doesn't see the Magna Defender as a full Sixth Ranger.
* SpecialEffectFailure[[invoked]]: Continuously refers to the planet of Miranoi and its people being [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]] as an "Adobe Photoshop Filter" due to how poor the effect looks.
* StunnedSilence: His response to Kendrix's death.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: How he feels about the Lost Galaxy arc. It started of strong, but soon petered into filler episodes.
* TrainingMontage: Trakeena's training sequence, along with "You're the Best" from ''Film/TheKarateKid1984'' playing, as he said that it was just "begging to be supplied with an 80's song."
* TroubledProduction[[invoked]]: Makes a note that the series was apparently a nightmare behind the scenes, particularly around the Lights Of Orion Saga. Episodes and scripts were apparently struggling to reach completion in time for the show to go to air on schedule.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]:
** Notes that it was originally planned to have Cassie taking Kendrix's place, but Patricia Ja Lee walked off when she discovered she was going to be paid significantly less per episode than the rest of the cast. The updated review went into more detail on why that happened. According to some sources Linkara found, Valerie Vernon would still be paid as a full-time cast member despite leaving the show in order to help pay for her chemo treatments. Whether or not Saban did it out of goodwill or out of fear of a lawsuit is unknown to Linkara.
** Also says that many ideas were thrown around at the beginning with the writers about just what would happen; one of the big ideas was that the whole ''show'' would take place in the "Lost Galaxy," which would have justified the title of the series better.
** At the beginning of the revised Lightspeed review, Linkara states that the original plan was to have Scorpius as the final boss, but it was scrapped when the puppet proved to be too difficult to move.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: The lady in the ''[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]]'' {{Crossover}}: "There is no such thing as monsters," who got the award for "Dumbest Person in ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' EVER".
** Specifically, the woman claimed this in the first series in the franchise where the rangers are publicly known figures, have no secret identities, and frequently fight monsters out in the open. Oh, and this also happened in the team-up episode, where it's made clear that this season is canon with all previous ones- ''including the one where aliens nearly took over the entire planet were it not for the Rangers' intervention.''
* AwesomeButImpractical: Discusses this a bit with the Titanium Ranger, the first American-created Power Ranger. Even though he notes they couldn't do much with him as it would mean shooting a lot of original footage for him, he's still glad that they did create a ranger without being tied down to the Sentai footage too much.
* {{Awesome McCoolName}}: The Omega Megazord, which Linkara says is "the most freaking awesomest name for a Megazord ever!"
* ContinuityNod: Calls back to ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]'' when he jokes that Lightspeed's Humvee is actually Tankenstein.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Linkara's main problem with the series, the villains aren't very interesting. Notes that it feels a little worse than it might be, as the two previous seasons (''In Space'' and ''Lost Galaxy,'') had villains with ''very'' strong characterization, from Astronema to Trakeena. He also notes that except for the invasion of Lightspeed's headquarters at the end, the villains never really won major victories against the Rangers.
* MemeticBadass[[invoked]]: Carter Grayson. TheTag shows Carter shooting a monster at close range with two {{BFG}}s and the resulting explosion takes out a shipping yard, with the subtitle "The Lesson: Don't Screw with Carter Grayson." He frequently jokes in later videos that this is what Carter would have done with a monster the current Rangers are afraid of, or that when the Rangers try an attack that doesn't work that it would have worked if Carter had been the one doing it.
* MerchandiseDriven: Like many seasons, he points out that the Rangers get new weapons (toys to sell to kids) every other episode... but says it ''makes sense'' in this particular series. These Power Rangers were created by a military institution, so, logically, they would continue to develop new weapons regularly for the Rangers.
* RevisitingTheRoots: After two seasons of space odysseys, ''Lightspeed Rescue'' felt very reminiscent of ''Mighty Morphin''' especially in its return to MagicVersusScience as a major theme, and the SixthRanger saga feeling a lot like "Green With Evil" (but in a good way).
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]: States that the villains of the season weren't all that interesting, but he loathes Vypra the most because of the actress' terrible performance.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: His main criticism of the "Trakeena's Revenge" team-up, the episode focuses mostly on the little girl whose parents were kidnapped and not the Rangers. If it were from a filler episode, Linkara would have no problem with the little girl, but he does feel that the team-up special was stapled onto an existing script.
* TroubledProduction[[invoked]]: While Lightspeed Rescue did not have any major problems in the long run, Linkara notes that there were some problems behind the scenes in "Trakeena's Revenge". Specifically, Danny Slavin left after initial filming after finding out that it would focus on a girl rather than the team-up story. His role would be filled in by another actor for dubbing and additional shots. Likewise, Amy Miller, the actress for Trakeena, walked off the set before filming began for the same reasons, so another actress was brought on and a mask was placed on Trakeena to cover the switch.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]: He shows disappointment that no one tries to fix the problems with the Cyborg Rangers to provide backup, even though that would have been a pretty good idea.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: Claims to have heard this season was originally going to be another space opera like ''In Space'' and ''Lost Galaxy'', but for one reason or another was changed to take place back on Earth, instead. Linakra is okay with it as the space idea was getting stale.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Carter's "Thumbs up" victory pose being interrupted by a not quite defeated Bansheera was a deliberate CallBack to ''[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]]'' when that was the end of the fight.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Time Force'']]
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: In the re-release, he suggests that Jen's claim of how people tried to help Ransik but he turned them away could have been influenced by prejudice and indotornation that exist in the future and how "helping them (mutants)" could have meant "forced labour camps away from normal humans". He does also note that there is no evidence of this and Jen could have been telling the truth that Ransik rejected true efforts to help him, but that it was something that could have been worth exploring.
* AntiClimaxBoss[[invoked]]: Notes this about the end of the team-up, the rangers just fire a bunch of weapons and kill Vypra and her monster.
* AntiVillain: He discusses fandom's perception of Ransik as this. It's pointed out that Ransik himself was not that sympathetic; he has a sympathetic ''backstory'', but his general actions in the main story were awful. Most of Ransik's claims of mutant oppression didn't hold up in all the various flashbacks, after being attacked by his own kind and rescued by a human (and repaying said kindness with hatred). Still, he is shown to care for Nadira, and that is what fueled his eventual redemption.
* AuthorsSavingThrow: In the re-release episode, Linkara considers ''Time for Lightspeed'' a do over of ''Trakeena's Revenge''. While both episodes had a similar structure (return of a previous villain, the previous Red Ranger being with the current team for most of the crossover, and the two factions on both sides teaming up), ''Time for Lightspeed'' edges out because it had a little more focus on the villains and the previous team. Plus, no little girl to take up too much of the plot.
* CharacterDerailment[[invoked]]: Despite being a well-written season overall, Linkara notes several characters change with no explanation. Eric starts as being cold and rude, but mellows out towards the other Rangers halfway through the season for some unknown reason, Alex was a heroic Red Ranger when the season started, but then turned into a "douche-nozzle" when he came back from the future, and Katie spends one episode paralyzed in fear that her actions in the past will alter the future and cause her to lose her family, but in a subsequent episode is sent back to the 1900s where she happily changes small things without worry. Granted, this was because some of the episodes aired out of order, but still.
* CharacterDevelopment: Admits that this is one of the series strong points. Not all the characters get ''a lot'' of development, but there ''is'' development and it is handled well, being done gradually and realistically, best displayed with Jen and Eric. He points out his issue with Lucas however is that he ''doesn't'' develop, rather he remains a FlatCharacter.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Notes that this does help make Ransik more than a generic villain in that we see a bunch of moments where he does care about Nadira, noting the overall goofy filler when she has a crush on Lucas in which Ransik lets her see him rather than trying to kill him.
* FlatCharacter: His dislike of Lucas mainly stems from him being the least developed character amidst the Rangers, and that most of his personality traits are superficial, focused more on looking cool and his driving. Add on his rather flat acting and Lucas doesn't leave a good impression.
* HypeBacklash[[invoked]]:
** While he thought ''[[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]'' itself was a very good series, he didn't find Ransik as sympathetic as everyone said.
** The two-parter with the Rangers stuck in movie scenarios also didn't impress him much, including the reference to Vernon Wells' past role in ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior''. He largely glossed it over, feeling it was just filler.
** ''Time Force'' itself fell into this for Linkara - while he admitted it was a great season, the amount of hype he'd heard from fans made him concede that he still preferred ''In Space''.
* InMemoriam: In the re-release version, Linkara mentions ''Ciruit Unsure'' both for its foreshadowing events leading to the finale, and that it was a dedication to Thuy Trang (Trini) who was killed in a car accident when the season was airing.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: At Power Morphicon 2010, actor Vernon Wells (who played ''Time Force'' BigBad Ransik) called Lewis a jackass. Turns out it was totally innocuous and meant in jest--Lewis was doing his best to remain low-key and inconspicuous during a panel when his own cameraman pointed him out to everyone. After Wells asked about this, Lewis said he was not making a big deal out of who he (Lewis) was because he did not want to look like a jackass, to which Wells cheerfully replied "Okay, jackass, what's your question?" This was referenced in the revision episode.
* OutOfOrder[[invoked]]: The series made a conscious effort towards strong CharacterDevelopment, where switching around character-based {{filler}} episodes disrupted Katie's development. One episode had her scared to do anything out of fear of changing the timeline while a later episode had her gleefully changing the past when transported to the early 1900's.
* ShowDontTell: One of his biggest gripes with this season is that the Rangers are ''told'' that what they're doing in the year 2001 is severely altering the future, but they never actually ''show'' what those alterations are.
* ShowWithinAShow: At one point, Linkara notices that Nadira was watching ''Masked Rider'' on tv, which leads to a humourous thought in the re-edited version. Either Dex defeated Count Dregon off-screen and sold the rights of his story for a tv series, or the events of ''Masked Rider'' were not canon to Power Rangers and only the events of "A Friend in Need" were, leading Zordon to sell the rights to a tv network.
* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: Linkara identifies this as the CentralTheme of ''Time Force'', the Rangers fighting their fate as dictated by the future vs. the free will to make their own life choices. Although ... Linkara does point out this theme is a little flawed due to the season [[ShowDontTell never revealed what the consequences from changing the future were]] exactly.
* TragicMonster: While he doesn't consider Ransik sympathetic, he agrees that Frax is this.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic[[invoked]]: Provides the page quote when he discusses Ransik, while he does have a sympathetic backstory, his actions and behavior undermine that sympathetic backstory, particularly him killing Dr. Fericks when Fericks was a humble scientist who saved Ransik's life out of the goodness of his heart. He does agree that Frax is a sympathetic villain, however.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Several according to Linkara:
** Originally, Alex was to be the Quantum Ranger and he and Wes would be played by twins. However, that did not happen and Linkara felt it was for the best.
** The writers flip-flopped over killing Eric off like his Sentai counterpart and filmed two different versions of the final scene in case Fox Kids allowed Eric to die.
** Because the cast got along so well, there were talks about shooting another season of Time Force or a movie. However, due to the impending [=SAG=] Strike, and the expensive costs Time Force had when filming certain scenes, the idea was scrapped.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Wild Force'']]
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: He calls Animus, BigGood [[FirstChurchOfMecha in giant robot form]], an Eco-Terrorist who talks as though he wants to attack humans for harming the environment, and even if it is a SecretTestOfCharacter, taking the Rangers' powers away pretty much dooms the Earth.
* {{Anvilicious}}: [[invoked]] He was not impressed with the very heavy-handed environmental messages, and had no love for Animus as described above. However, it should be noted he only hated the GreenAesop for being heavy-handed in said Animus arc specifically, he says that otherwise, the season wasn't ''too'' bad with it.
* ArcFatigue[[invoked]]: While the Zen-Aku Arc really wasn't ''that'' long, it was just so repetitive (Zen-Aku defeats the Rangers and steals a Zord, and nothing is learned about the character) that he got bored with it, especially when compared to how dynamic his favorite SixthRanger Arc, "Green With Evil", was able to be despite being made at a time when kid's shows really didn't have multi-episode arcs.
* ChannelHop: While Linkara did mention it briefly in the original review, he goes more into detail in the re-edited version. With Disney buying ''Power Rangers'' as part of their acquisition of the Fox Family Worldwide Company, ''Wild Force'' is technically the first of the Disney Era seasons. However, Linkara notes that it was in pre-production before the acqusition and some aspects of filming, casting and production crew, make it feel like a tranaitional phase to next season.
* ContinuityNod: While it serves as a stark contrast to the martial arts used by the other Rangers, he liked how Carter's unmorphed fight scene was largely just shooting the Cogs, as that was what ''[[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Lightspeed Rescue]]'' was all about.
* CriticalBacklash[[invoked]]: He said that, while inferior to ''Time Force'', ''Wild Force'' was nowhere near as bad as the Internet said.
* {{Crossover}}:
** While almost every season has a team-up with the previous team, he specifically points to "Reinforcements From The Future" as the absolute best team-up episode that he's seen thus far (as of ''Operation Overdrive''), noting that not only were the fights excellent, the character interactions were great, music was superb (even commenting that the "horrible singing" that he had criticized Shayla for managed to sound pretty good once remixed), and most importantly, it continued the story of ''both Time Force'' and ''Wild Force''.
** Likewise, he was pleased with "Forever Red", how it got nearly every previous Red Ranger actor back (Along with a Bulk and Skull cameo), character interaction between them, and showcasing their different fighting styles during the climax. Though does show annoyance at the fact it was hampered in its potential because Disney wouldn't give the special more budget to make it into a two-parter as the producers wanted. [[labelnote:explanation]]The initial idea for a climax was to use previous Zords in the final battle against Serpenterra but Disney balked at it since it was showcasing figures that had long stopped being made into toys and they didn't see any profit to be made from it, plus they were also not thrilled about doing another two-part crossover since "Reinforcements from the Past" was pretty expensive to produce as well. Bandai had to step in and foot the rest of the money for the special, but on the condition, they showcase a new toy, the cycle Cole uses to destroy Serpenterra.[[/labelnote]]
* DawsonCasting[[invoked]]: While certainly not the only season to cast adult actors as teenagers (this is actually ''very'' common), Linkara notes that the actors in ''Wild Force'' looked about college-age, but the content seemed more suited for Rangers still in junior high, or even middle school.
* EasilyForgiven: When Shayla [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath tries to convince Dr. Viktor Adler/Master Org to stop being evil]], she mentions that Cole already forgave Dr. Adler for murdering his parents ... seriously confusing Linkara since said forgiveness ''[[PlotHole never happened]]'' (on-screen, anyway). In the remastered version, Linkara states that while Cole did refuse to kill Dr. Adler, it wasn't really forgiveness as much as not wanting to go down the same path of revenge he did.
* EditedForSyndication[[invoked]]: When the video was reposted on [=YouTube=], the opening section addressing schedule-related complaints was removed since it didn't stop people from pestering him about the schedule and the information was outdated anyway.
* ElephantInTheRoom: In the beginning of the re-edited version, Linkara brings up the Ricardo Medina Jr. stabbing incident and how the latter was incarcerated for voluntary manslaughter for a few years. While it had no bearings on production of ''Wild Force'' or even ''Samurai'' as the incident happened years after those seasons aired, Linkara decided to address it because if he did not, people would have asked him. He even refers to it as the "Mastadon in the Room".
* ExecutiveMeddling[[invoked]]: Notes that this is what caused "Forever Red" to be shorter, Disney not being interested in funding the episode that they only saw as just promoting a bunch of toys that weren't sold anymore, which sadly prevented a planned battle with a bunch of old Zords taking on Serpentera.
* FanService: Compared to "Once A Ranger" and ''Megaforce'' as a whole, Linkara considers "Forever Red'' to be the one to do this correctly. It answered long unanswered questions, brought back multiple red rangers (minus Rocky due to RealLifeWritesThePlot), some small references that long-time fans could recognize, and had great fight scenes that showed the evolution from MMPR to this point.
* GreenAesop: In the rerelease, Linkara elaborates on what he feels the problem with the show's environmental theme is - an extreme lack of nuance due to being oversimplified for the target audience, combined with fall out from bad pop culture and pop-science ideas from [[TheNineties The 90's]] about nature's apparent "perfection". This results in the show, in his view, taking an almost reverential attitude towards its own subject matter without offering any solutions to the issue aside from "don't pollute", ultimately leaving it with nothing of actual substance to say.
** This gets especially frustrating to him during the Animus/Kite arc, when Kite starts ranting about how much damage humans are doing to the environment. The Rangers can't seem to think of any rebuttal other than "humans don't mean to pollute, it's a byproduct of progress", and even end up ''agreeing'' with him that humans aren't doing enough to protect nature, forgetting to address such things as conservation groups and alternative energy sources. Animus' own actions are ''even worse'', since taking the Wild Zords away [[NiceJobbreakingItHero effectively dooms humanity and nature both to destruction at the hands of the Orgs]].
* HandWave:
** Ransik being healed of his mutation made no sense, "But hey, I like a happy ending."
** His answer to how Bulk and Skull were reunited is "SHUT UP AND DON'T QUESTION IT! BULK AND SKULL ARE BACK!"
* InternalHomage: Even if unintentional, he loved the ''Wild Force'' Power Ranger suits (especially the helmets) for being very reminiscent of the original ''Mighty Morphin''' suits.
* ItsWhatIDo: Of a sort. He actively wondered why he got so many people asking if he was going to cover "Forever Red" when such a thing is ''the very premise'' of the video series.
* KidAppealCharacter: Theorizes that ''Wild Force'' was made to appeal to ''really'' little kids, as the season was wrought with child actors ([[BadBadActing all of them terrible, in Linkara's opinion]]).
* TheLoad: Shayla, who he rants does nothing besides getting kidnapped.
** He actually criticizes her about this later on, near the end, when she ''does'' fight back when a kidnapping attempt is made on her, claiming that she's not weak. He does this since, well, why would she suddenly be competent ''now'' when all those other times would have been really useful for her to not be kidnapped?
* MoodWhiplash: While the [[SixthRanger Zen-Aku]] story arc had its faults, Linkara at least liked how serious the story felt ... until it was just suddenly concluded by the Rangers getting two new Zords with the power of ''soccer'', complete with a badly rendered CG-soccer stadium.
* TheMagicGoesAway: Really annoyed by this ending. Shayla's ButNowIMustGo didn't bother him so much but since, among other things, it means the Wild Force Rangers have so far ''never'' gotten their jackets and morphers back and it's entirely possible that none of them except Max and Danny ever saw each other again, he's still displeased about this while doing the next review. Whilst ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'' would later show this wasn't the case, the ''Wild Force'' review was made several years before ''Megaforce'' began.
* NatureIsNotNice: Frustrated with the show perpetuating the idea of the natural world being a harmonious utopia, Linkara brings up kudzu, cogon grass and privet - highly invasive and destructive plants - as an example of how nature can be the total opposite.
* SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove: [[invoked]] His general assessment; certain things could be better, but overall, there's a lot to love in this season.
* PlotHole: Is confused by the lack of explanation for where the Orgs originally came from if Animaria was so harmonious with nature and seemingly didn't pollute. There's also the awkward fact that the people would have ''needed'' to use nature for food, clothing etc., making Shayla's statement of everyone "respecting the importance of nature" confusing and frustrating.
* PropRecycling: [[invoked]]
** Notes that the Mut-Orgs from "Reinforcements From The Future" were actually from old costumes, even noting they were reusing old costumes by that point.
** Linkara does not hide the fact that the Machine Empire Generals from "Forever Red" used the suits from ''Series/BigBadBeetleborgs'', even referring to them as the Beetleborgs for that episode.
** In the re-edited version, Linkara sees that the armor from the Animarium Warriors are parts from the Quantrons.
* RookieRedRanger: Finds it odd that Cole is made the leader of the group since he's the newest member. Linkara also finds the explanation for this, that 'the lion is the king of the jungle and so Cole is the leader because his Zord is the lion', very unsatisfying.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]: Lewis showed a special dislike for Animus/Kite, noted above, as he takes the Wild Zords away thus leaving humans defenseless against the Orgs & ignoring that there are humans that try to help the environment to justify his actions, and also noting that his offer to go another world wasn't extended to Shayla and that he's [[JerkSue never called out on his actions]]. Linkara was especially frustrated that the rangers actually agreed with him that they weren't doing enough for the planet despite all their efforts to it keep safe from pollution and that the rangers' devotion should not have needed to be tested when Animus revealed it was all a SecretTestOfCharacter. He also points that Animus never took back what he said about humanity.
* ShotForShotRemake: Mentions the depths to which this happened, with the producer even bringing in Japanese directors to work on the show to recreate it. In the case of [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Tropes Are Not Good]], he mentions that this might have contributed to the lower quality acting due to some direction issues since many of the directors didn't even speak English.
* SwissArmyWeapon: While normally having a sword that turns into a gun is an instant-awesome button in Linkara's book, he was not a fan of the Lunar Wolf Ranger's sword that turns into a gun that turns into a pool cue, disliking the overall design for lacking any flash or substance.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]: In the rerelease, Linkara feels that the environmental message, if written with more nuance, could have lead to more interesting educational and storytelling moments. For instance, he floats the idea of talking about how pollution has been a problem since early civilization, even in a supposed utopia like Animaria, as well as how human advancement would always involve exploiting nature to a degree and what humans are doing to try and mitigate the damage. This, he feels, would have helped especially in the later episodes to counter Animus/Kite's preaching about the evils of mass-scale industrial pollution. It would have also, in his mind, provided a convenient explanation for the Org's origins - perhaps metal pollutions from forging armour and weapons could have triggered their evolution.
* TranquilFury: Linkara starts the original release of his review with this while addressing the overly demanding fan base of the series asking for the new episode.
* {{Wangst}}[[invoked]]: Feels this way about Merrick's constant need to distance himself from the other Rangers and seek 'atonement' for his actions as Zen-Aku, since not only have the Rangers and Shayla forgiven him from the start, but Linkara points out the fact it was quite obviously the [[DemonicPossession Wolf Mask]] in the driver's seat, anyway, not Merrick.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]:
** All the possibilities of what became "[[MilestoneCelebration Forever Red]]" are outlined. In the re-edited version, Linkara said that three different scripts were created until Amit Bhaumik wrote the final draft. Some of the planned ideas included a cult wanting to bring back Dark Specter (which would also explain his connection with Maligore from the ''Turbo'' movie), deleted scenes that were trimmed out in the final aired version, and big Megazord fight against Seperentera. Also, had Rocky end up coming on as planned, he would be Tommy's buttler and not a Ranger.
** At the end of the review, Linkara states that ''Wild Force'' was supposed to be the final season as Disney bought the rights to Power Rangers, and intended to end the show with the previous seasons of Power Rangers played as reruns with a lot of other Saban based projects Disney bought. As we know, however, the production crew convinced Disney to keep the series running by moving production to New Zealand which would save them money.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The first thing Linkara notes in the behind the scenes aspect of Forever Red is the absence of Rocky. He explains that Steve Cardenes was apporached to come on, but he was moving at the time and was unable to get back to production when filming began.
* WhatTheHellHero: Calls out Merrick for playing pool with his Power Animal Crystals, which he says is just about the most disrespectful thing you could do with them.
* WildMassGuessing [[invoked]]:
** In the "Forever Red review", Linkara goes through several theories on how some of the older red rangers got their powers back, focusing a bit more on Jason's. There are three possibilities he has laid out:
*** 1) The Sword of Light didn't exactly transfer the powers to Rocky but merely copied them (as evidenced with Jason leaving the command center still morphed).
*** 2) During ''Zeo'', Rocky gave Jason back the damaged Tyrannosaurus Power Coin when Jason came back as the Gold Ranger, and Jason would later find a way to repair the coin (as hinted back from ''In Space'' when Adam used the damaged Mastodon Power Coin).
*** 3) The [[invoked]][[WordOfGod official confirmation]] by Amit Bhuamik is that Jason got a new Power Coin from one of Lord Zedd's Dark Rangers that appeared in the comic book series. Linkara does admit though that may not be plausible given the circumstance of comic continuity to the show.
** On a lighter note, he makes a theory on how Bulk came back to Miranoi and reunited with Skull.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Ninja Storm'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Similar to ''Lightspeed Rescue'', the first episode suggests that it is a ContinuityReboot unrelated to the past seasons, that Power Rangers were fictional or at most an urban legend. This season is eventually tied into the rest of the franchise, so it seems like it's skepticism despite all of the monster attacks and alien invasions over the last decade.
* AssPull[[invoked]]: Kanoi's explanation for why he turned into a guinea pig.
-->"That is not an explanation."
* BadassDecay: Linkara brings up an InUniverse example regarding Lothor. In the time travel episode, it was shown that his past self as Kiya was actually serious, intimidating, and a cool villain, making Linkara question just what happened during his exile to cause him to become such an idiot.
* CoolHelmet: Gives praise to the collapsible mask feature of the helmets since it allows the viewers to see the actors and helps build the idea that the characters are genuinely in the suits and the action, rather than it just being stunt doubles or dubbed over stock footage.
* ContinuityReboot: It was originally assumed that the season would be a reboot of the series, thanks to some comments from early interviews promoting the show and dialogue in the early episodes. However, while it was slated as a "new beginning", it was never outright called a reboot or anything along those lines. Linkara does bring up that it led to some confusion and EarlyInstallmentWeirdness though.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He later notes during ''Dino Thunder'' that though he considers Lothor an incompetent fool who engages in far too much comic relief when he gets into a fight, he's a very powerful combatant.
* DenserAndWackier: He felt this worked to the season's detriment. As the greater focus on comedy and wacky antics from the villain's side made them come across as incompetent and nonthreatening. That, and he didn't really like most of the humor for this season since it resulted in MoodWhiplash.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Talks how the first episode actually failed in this. Linkara gets that the writers were trying to push the whole [[NaiveNewcomer inexperienced]] thing for the three Rangers, but notes they pushed it too far especially in them messing up their first transformation sequence (when said transformations only consists of four words), which makes them come off as borderline incompetent, instead.
* FranchiseOriginalSin: [[invoked]]
** Of a sort, he mentions his disapproval of Ranger's "civilian powers" as it dilutes the need for morphing. But within this season (where the civilian powers started) the premise is of {{ninja}} students and thus having unusual abilities sort of works.
** He brings up in his ''Mystic Force'' video that the "villains must battle the rangers one at a time" excuse for both that series and this one is incredibly stupid, but ''Ninja Storm'' was actively trying to be comedic, so it could get by with that excuse compared to the darker and more serious ''Mystic Force''.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Considers Zurgane this, to a degree. He feels he's the only smart villain in the series and is SurroundedByIdiots, including his boss.
* {{Irony}}: Brings up how funny it is that despite being filmed in New Zealand to save on budget, ''Power Rangers'' is banned there due to the violence of the show.
* MoodKiller: States the show's humor, especially in "Samurai's Journey", could be this.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]:
** Was not a fan of Lothor and his group due to his frequent BreakingTheFourthWall jokes and MoodWhiplash. He openly calls Lothor a "Male Divatox," and shows glee when ''Dino Thunder'' claims that the Thunder Rangers were the biggest threat that the Ninja Rangers, "Thus proving how worthless Lothor was as a villain." though he does admit Lothor was an impressive fighter in his ''Dino Thunder'' review and even compared him favorably to the villains of ''Mystic Force''.
** Linkara also shares a distaste for the Team's mentor, Sensei Kanoi Watanabe. In particular, he questions the generic "wise sayings" that Kanoi gives out as advice (in particular him chastising one of the Rangers for stopping criminals alone, instead of with the group). He also remains confused as to how Kanoi was turned into a hamster in the first place (or how one of Lothor's blasts changed him back to human, for that matter).
* SoundDefect: Notes that this was before they got a handle on the sound quality for ''Power Rangers'', so as a consequence, everyone sounds like they had their microphones way too close to their faces and the audio was put through some abysmal processing.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: He argues that [[HyperCompetentSidekick Zurgane]] would've made for a better BigBad than [[LaughablyEvil Lothor]].
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]: Downplayed in Lothor's case. He still finds him to be a terrible villain but acknowledges him as a great fighter. This inadvertently makes him better than Master Xandred, who spent the entire first season of ''Samurai'' and most of the second as an OrcusOnHisThrone and was never impressive in any case.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: At the beginning of the review, Linkara mentions Amit Bhuamik's "Hexagon" proposal. He ultimately puts it into the AwesomeButImpractical category. While it sounds like the ultimate Power Rangers continuity porn, and the premise sounding a lot like the Justice League, a couple of factors would keep it from actually working.[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Hurricaneger'' was a standalone series with no other teams around (minus crossovers), the show was just starting to move production to New Zealand, and most of the costumes and props were either sold or destroyed when they thought the show was going to be cancelled. Not to mention that doing so would require loads of original footage which they didn't have the budget for.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Dino Thunder'']]
* AntiClimax: Admits this the show's main weakness, the conclusion to plots involving its villains tend to be very anti-climatic.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: He interprets Tommy as having been driven to the point of ShellShockedVeteran suffering from a massive identity crisis as a result of his near-decade of fighting evil, identifying himself more as a set of powers than as a person.
** FanWank[[invoked]]: He admits he might be looking too deep into the symbolism behind Tommy's mental battle with his past Ranger selves, but he feels it helps to explain a lot about the character and the whole event.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: He comments on how the four younger Rangers can be seen as a more modern take of the original cast.
** Jason and Connor are both jocks but Jason was a nice guy and smart while Connor is an idiot and a bit of a jerk at first.
** Billy and Ethan are both nerds but Billy was more of the classic stereotype of being socially awkward and into his studies while Ethan is the more modern take with his love of video games and can at least defend himself from bullies.
** Kimberly and Kira are feminine but Kimberly is more of a ValleyGirl at first while Kira is more of a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak.
** Trent's past counterpart is none other than Dr. Oliver himself as former evil brainwashed Rangers before joining the team but while Tommy was immediately accepted, Trent still skirts towards the outside due to hiding info about the main villain.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He notes the "vision from the future" from the bonus ''Dino Thunder'' episode as one for ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD]]''.
* EvilVersusEvil: Lothor vs Mesogog in the "Thunder Storm" team-up, which he feels is better than the fight that occurred with the actual ranger team-up.
* FantasticRacism: Mentions that Mesogog was probably the first villain definitively motivated by this, adding to his quality as BigBad. (Also notes that Ransik technically doesn't count since he seemed more concerned with power rather than actual racism.)
* ForScience: Questions ''why'' Tommy was researching making cybernetic dinosaur clones "unless [you're] planning to become a super-villain." He later references the trope by name in a CallBack to Tommy in the ''Mystic Force'' review.
* HilariousInHindsight: [[invoked]] Notes that Zordon's line back in ''MMPR'''s second season "Too much pink energy is dangerous", became this due to the white dino gem having problems from there being two white rangers.
* IdiotHero: Considers Conner to be this.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He interprets Trent's vision of a superhero as being something like this, explaining that this can be one of the reasons for his refusal to receive help from the other Rangers.
* InformedAbility:
** Linkara inadvertently demonstrates how the trope can become subjective if handled improperly. Trent's artwork is genuinely good and looks professional, but Haley gushes over them a bit too much.
** He was also rather ambivalent towards Kira's musical talent and supposed "artistry", but also admits that it's probably just his taste in music is different.
* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: Linkara's examination of "Fighting Spirit" really drives it home how important that lesson was to Tommy. Tommy has never given up at any point in his Ranger career, so it may seem like an empty Aesop, but going through several periods of gaining and losing powers may have created a level of existential crisis in that he isn't a hero without his powers. The Green Ranger has also almost always represented either regrets or mistakes as a Ranger, so having that Ranger form be his final confrontation was also very symbolic.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: This is his problem with the team-up episodes with ''Ninja Storm''. The Ninja Storm rangers end up solving the hypnosis problem with their teammates and the Dino Thunder Rangers don't do much until the team-up fight near the end.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Notes this as a problem with Zeltrax's character, he doesn't really seem to have a reason for hating Tommy since he had nothing to do with the accident that almost killed him.
* TakeThatScrappy[[invoked]]: Shows ''immediate'' love for Mesogog when one of his first lines is that his attack will be blamed on "That idiot, Lothor."
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: With the White Ranger clone, who is just a FlatCharacter (he doesn't point out that he was created because the white ranger was a villain in most of ''Abaranger'') that didn't do much and felt the plot with him could have been better, like if it had Trent lose his powers when the clone was made.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: Mentions that side character Devin was supposed to be the Triassic Ranger, but that idea got scrapped when it was revealed to the production crew that it was a power-up for the red ranger.
* WTHCostumingDepartment[[invoked]]:
** He brings up that he's not really a fan of the Dino Thunder suits, due to the goofy dino-footprint emblems on the center, and the white shapes on the sides not matching the coloring of the black and gold symbols on the chests.
** Linkara shows disbelief at the silver stripe on the ''Mighty Morphin''' Green Rangers' helmet in the episode "Fighting Spirit", especially since the suit was featured in the ClipShow, that mistake really shouldn't have been made. This is brought up again in the ''Megaforce'' review.
** Triassic Ranger outfit was fine for him, but the battlizer mode made it needlessly silly due to the ridiculously huge shoulder-pads and rubber arms.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers SPD'']]
* {{Angrish}}: Complains that Gruum's dialogue often comes off like this and he has difficulty understanding it.
* BoringButPractical: States that one of the reasons why he likes it when the rangers pull out their blasters is because of how practical a solution it is. However, he goes into detail about how this (specifically the reliance on special effects through "[[StuffBlowingUp Kalishsplosions]]") can make fights boring, which is a problem for a show that's 75% fight scenes.
* ContinuityNod: Mentions several nods to previous seasons, including a MonsterOfTheWeek coming from [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace KO-35]], one of the trainers in the SPD Academy being an [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Aquitian]], and the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Blue Senturian]] popping up in a video game the SPD Rangers are playing fighting [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Cyclopter]].
* CreepyGood: An initial problem he had with the rangers outfits at first was that the helmets made them appear evil due to the large visors, even drawing comparisons to the Psycho Rangers.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: Felt that this was a very good way to introduce the villains.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The A-Squad]]. He gives kudos to the writers for not overturning this or {{hand wave}} it off as the result of brainwashing, feeling it was a great plot twist and a nice final challenge to the B-Squad to come into their own as true heroes, though he admits he's it's disappointing that we never learn much about [[spoiler:The A-Squad]] or why they turned evil.
* FanWank[[invoked]]: Discussed, since SPD takes place in the future (and a specific year at that, 2025), and all the fan theories on timing and parentage are discussed, as well as an alternate theory that a timescale in ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' is nearly impossible since the B-Squad's parents were apparently working in Time Force to make powers.
** WildMassGuessing: He attempts to reconcile these issues by theorizing that the Power Rangers universe has different timing, in that a year is not the same length of time as in our universe (he puts the length of a PR year in the ballpark of 700-800 days). He notes that this could be just one of several other differences in the same vein as the moon having earth-like gravity and an atmosphere in the Power Rangers universe.
* FridgeHorror: {{Invoked|Trope}}, he notes that if Sky's father was Wes, that unfortunately means that Wes was killed by Murloc.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: While he liked Grumm as a villain, Linkara notes that he doesn't really have a defining personality outside of being evil.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: How he views the A-Squad & B-Squad, noting that A-Squad are the best of the best and would normally be the characters the story followed, with B-Squad being the characters this would normally apply to.
* LivingProp: As evidenced by his comments when summing up the CharacterDevelopment for the season, he (Much like the ''SPD'' writers) seems to view Sam[=/=]Omega Ranger as this.
--> "Sam... Has no CharacterDevelopment. He's a ball of light. Moving on."
* OneWordTitle: Nitpicks at this aspect, since it doesn't really lead to interesting titles and in some cases leads to outright generic titles since the first and last episodes for this season are ''Beginnings'' and ''Endings'' respectively. This becomes a thing for the rest of the Kalish era since the later seasons would just add one more word to each of their titles.[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Mystic Force'' had two-word titles, ''Operation Overdrive'' had three-word titles, and ''Jungle Fury'' had four-word titles[[/labelnote]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Praises Broodwing for having this as his motivation, noting that it made a refreshing change to the other villains throughout the series, who have mostly had the same goals of conquering something.
* PersonalityPowers: Does a very nice, in-depth look at why the Ranger's civilian powers match their personalities. He also especially praises SPD for making each power something relatively unorthodox and unique (making barriers, phasing through solid objects, energy readings, etc.) instead of something like Dino Thunder's more common and overused set of powers.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Sees SPD as this kind of team done very well.
* ShownTheirWork: When talking about the "Kalishsplosions;" he notes that the person actually responsible for them was Koichi Sakamoto, though he still calls them "Kalishsplosions" since Bruce Kalish would have had to approve of such ideas, as well as the fact that they became particularly prominent in the Kalish era (they have since shown up in ''RPM'' and ''Samurai'').
* SlidingScaleOfVillainEffectiveness: Says that Grumm is higher up on the scale compared with other villains thanks to his use of diversionary tactics to help get what he wants, and even getting an entire team of rangers on his side BY CHOICE.
* StuffBlowingUp: Discussed extensively with "Kalishsplosions", and how this is actually very much an annoyance for its lack of creating suspense and makes the Rangers look weak for being sent into the air by explosions behind them, which have logically missed them. Linkara also notes how it makes the fight scenes BORING, by focusing on explosions instead of the martial arts of past seasons, making the point that you could splice together any random fight scenes & it would be hard to tell that they weren't from the same fight.
** Plus the occasional shots of explosions off to the side, which makes even less sense.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: Comments that Mora is sadly underdeveloped, with the viewer never learning how Grumm found her, why she worked for him or why she hated being a grown-up so much. Didn't help that her final fight in the finale was rushed and was the last we would see of her.
* UnintentionallySympathetic[[invoked]]: He views Syd as this during "Dogged". We're supposed to see her as in the wrong for how she treated R.I.C. in the episode initially, but Linkara brings up that he was a "malfunctioning piece of crap" and was in desperate need of an upgrade.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic[[invoked]]: Since Piggy frequently betrays the rangers and rarely shows remorse (not to mention he had plenty of opportunities to get out of town and lay low if he didn't want to work with Grumm or Broodwing), he finds it too difficult to sympathize with him, especially since the show tries to make him sympathetic and fails.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Mystic Force'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Linkara is annoyed by how Nick has trouble believing in magic at the beginning, especially seeing as how he'd seen Udonna use spells to fight Foot Soldiers by that point, not to mention that he's ''just'' observed his other companions transform into Power Rangers.
* BadassCape: Points out the addition of capes to the Rangers' outfits is the biggest change to the ''Mystic Force'' uniforms from past teams. Though he knows [[BrokenBase some fans dislike the idea]], he approves of it, as it fits with the Power Rangers [[SuperheroesWearCapes being superheroes]], and the capes [[CapeSnag aren't long enough to get in the way]] but are still long enough to [[ErmineCapeEffect look regal and cool]].
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: One of the problems he has with this season is that the entire morality runs on this. Characters are either noble good guys or evil monsters with no shades of grey. This effectively makes almost all the characters boring for him.
* ClicheStorm[[invoked]]: Says that one of the biggest things holding back this season is that every plot is just ''so damn'' cliché that you can see the resolution coming from a mile away.
* CompressedVice: He points out how the humans and the forest creatures' distrust of each other only shows up at the very beginning and end of the series.
* CriticalBacklash[[invoked]]: He notes that this series is hugely divisive and understands why some fans dislike it, but states in his opinion, it isn't terrible and feels it's worth watching.
* {{Crossover}}: Expresses his disappointment that there wasn't a crossover with ''SPD'', especially given that ''SPD'' is strictly rooted in science while ''Mystic Force'' is rooted in magic, and would have liked to see that dynamic come into play. Though he does acknowledge that making a crossover between the two would have been difficult given the timeline.
* DecoyProtagonist: Feels this way about the Rangers, who get very little, if any, character growth or focus outside of Nick. Instead, the season focuses on Udonna's family and allies, their backstories participating in the ancient war, and them coming back together to fight again.
* ExecutiveMeddling[[invoked]]: He actually contacted Music/RonWasserman (who'd previously done work for ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'') to get the real story about what happened with this show's theme song. Turns out Wasserman's original version, which is his typically epic work, was turned down because the producers wanted to hop on the rap bandwagon. Wasserman complied, but was quite unsatisfied with the result, and so were they, so they went with another composer. And then they chided Wasserman for putting his first version online, despite never creating a soundtrack album, so it's pretty clear their only problem with it was that he was exposing how stupid they were to reject it.
** Likewise he mentions that Disney wanted to use more magic as they didn't like the frequent physical contact of the show... despite the fact they already had done four PR seasons doing this and should've known by now how action-heavy the series was. [[SarcasmMode Disney, the most kid-friendly and smartest company around.]]
* FanWank[[invoked]]: Mentions that seeing the mystic creatures of the forest moving into civilization to live alongside humans probably contributed a lot to humans and aliens learning to get along easily in the backstory of ''SPD''.
* FlatCharacter: Thinks of the Rangers as this.
** Also has this criticism towards the villains.
* HonorBeforeReason: Linkara's major criticism of Koragg: he talks a good game about being honorable, but he seems to define it more as being a horrible tactician than actually hewing to any chivalric code.
* InNameOnly: Linkara considers ''Mystic Force'' a fantasy story, a sadly generic one, that has Power Rangers in it, rather than a fantasy-themed ''Power Rangers'' series.
* ItsBeenDone: His opinion on the FallenHero[=/=]NobleDemon aspect of Koragg is that previous villains such as Astronema, Villamax, Merrick or Ryan did the story-line before, and not only that, they did it better.
* TheLoad: Subverted, despite making jokes about Udonna getting kidnapped, he states she never felt like this.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Notes he's okay with the Mystic Morphers being this in this instance as they're magic wands disguised as cell phones and thus the mundane part actually makes sense.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]: Does share the dislike for Nick, calls him out as a DesignatedHero given that he's supposed to be the ChosenOne even though he's no better than the rest of the team and is often the first one to quit when things get hard. He doesn't, however, mention the common criticism of Nick stealing the spotlight (For reasons mentioned below).
* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: A more minor thing that he harps on for this series is that it seems to be more on the side of fate than free will.
* SoundDefect: One aspect of the fight scenes he doesn't like is that when someone kicks something, it makes a laser noise instead of an actual kicking sound.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Notes that the side characters have more focus than the rangers, aside from Nick (and even then, only his mythical heritage is given focus rather than his development as a ranger). He goes further to say that the ultimate conflict between good and evil here is nearly superfluous to the Rangers themselves, and just feels like "All the people who fought the last war trying to get together to finish what they started."
* SupportingProtagonist: Again with the [[SpotlightStealingSquad exception of Nick]], Linkara says this season is less a season of ''Power Rangers'', and more a fantasy story that just so happens to have Power Rangers in it.
* TakeThat: Compares the introduction to the four rangers, besides Nick, to an MTV reality TV show, and talks about the filming of one in progress as though it were a crime.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: Feels this way about Chip, whose desire to be a KnightInShiningArmor who actually embodies those traits, unlike Koragg, what it meant to him could've been more explored.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]:
** Notes this on a few things, with one of the main problems with the season being that the show didn't give the Rangers themselves enough focus, and the final two episodes had enough plot points that could have been fleshed out in place of some of the filler episodes.
** Specifically laments the lack of an ''SPD'' team-up episode, since seeing the team of space cops from the year 2025 interacting with the team of wizards from 2006 could have made for plenty of great material due to their contrasting themes, environments & philosophies. Especially frustrating when Piggy shows up in one episode living on the Earth long before the future timeline of ''SPD'' and only shows up as more comic relief to interact with Jinji. The most we get from him beyond that is just foreshadowing of what went down in his series. He does, however, admit that given that ''SPD'' is set in the future, that creating a setup for a team-up would be more difficult than other shows.
*** Then again, ''Dino Thunder'' and ''SPD'' had the time gap as well, and they had ''two'' crossovers...
* TranquilFury: While not on par with his speech in the ''Wild Force'' review, there was a definite edge in his voice when he was talking about people spoiling the surprise of the Mystic Mother's identity.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic[[invoked]]: His opinion of Nick, who he even describes as an "arrogant, unsympathetic, overemotional douchebag." He initially feels the same about Leelee, who basically only had a HeelFaceTurn for selfish reasons, but redeems herself when she goes with Phineas and Claire to rescue Udonna.
* TheUntwist: Invoked with the identities of Udonna's long-lost husband & son; the same episode revealed Udonna's son was taken to the human world as a child, and that Nick is an orphan and his OrphansPlotTrinket is the same blanket Udonna's son had in the flashback. Coupled with the revelation that Udonna's husband was an honorable warrior and a flashback of Koragg where we find out he used to be human, and it's very obvious where this story-line is going, even if it takes some time to get there.
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]: Linkara stated during the "Once a Ranger" video that he feels ''Mystic Force'' is a good theme song in comparison to ''Operation Overdrive'''s more rap-based theme.
* WTHCastingAgency[[invoked]]: Has this reaction to the voice of the Mystic Mother, more specifically [[spoiler:the crew not getting Creator/BarbaraGoodson back, given they'd revealed the Mystic Mother to be the [[HeelFaceTurn reformed]] Rita Repulsa.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Operation Overdrive'']]
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: Theorizes that Doctor Hartford, due to his familiarity with Zord and Morphing technology, as well as his personal wealth, may have helped with the various ranger groups in ''Lightspeed Rescue'' and ''Time Force''.
* AntiClimaxBoss[[invoked]]: Among the many other problems with the season, Linkara states that Flurious was defeated too easily. This is especially disappointing since he gained the Corona Aurora's power and almost ''the entire season'' built up to its immense power. Yet the final fight amounts to Mack just hitting him really hard and nothing else.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Hates the Overdrive Rangers' insignia on their chests, noting it looks more like corporate branding than anything else.
* BullyingADragon: Points how stupid it is for Dax's film crew to treat him so poorly considering they should know how easily he could kick their asses if he felt like it.
* CallingYourAttacks: Perhaps the most ''confusing'' part of the series for him is that the Rangers do this with their blasters.
* ContinuitySnarl:
** Dissects how badly "Once A Ranger" distorted series continuity.
*** Thrax's existence is a big question mark. Though he offers the idea Zedd and Rita had and raised him during ''Turbo'', that Thrax was sealed by the Sentinel Knight, who was sealed away centuries ago at least, ruins that idea.
*** Alpha 6 is boxed up in a warehouse in Angel Grove. Last we saw him, he was on Mirinoi at the end of ''Lost Galaxy''.
*** Is utterly bewildered by the presence of the Veteran Rangers. Not only were several of them left without their powers at the end of their respective seasons, but Bridge is from ''S.P.D.'', meaning the Sentinel Knight pulled him through time to recruit him. And restoring the powers of past Rangers who lost them, and bending the space-time continuum to get one of them from the future, was easier than calling up any number of other past Rangers who still have their powers ''and'' live on Earth in the same time period?
** Later, in part four, Linkara questions why the Rangers think Norg is Bigfoot and want to capture him so they'll be famous. Not only have they met Norg before and know who he is, but they've been on television by nature of being Power Rangers.
** He also points out in Rose's character analysis section that the writers seemed to completely forget her personality and backstory and decided she only started to learn things to feel special (even though she was always a super genius), that being a super-genius apparently didn't make her feel special or gifted, and later that she was ashamed of being smart. Even though her job was being a super-smart college professor. Linkara figures the writers were paying zero attention to what they were doing by that point.
* DesignatedMonkey[[invoked]]: While Linkara is certainly not a fan of Dax, he is quite annoyed with how the movie crew treats him (giving him a condescendingly small actor's chair, leaving him strung up halfway through a stunt and abandoning him), pointing out that stuntmen are typically very physically fit and that their job description includes taking a punch or being ''lit on fire'' regularly; basically ''not'' [[BullyingADragon the kind of person you dick with]].
* DesignatedHero[[invoked]]: Points out early on that the Rangers had to actually be ''told'' to save people from an erupting volcano rather than go after a villain, and that throughout the season the Rangers come off poorly as they don't lose this trait as the season goes on. Lewis has a field day when he gets to the "Once A Ranger" anniversary special, as the Overdrive Rangers decide to go back to their normal lives when they lose their powers; he responds by showing clips of Rangers from nearly ''every prior season'' deciding to do the right thing even though they no longer had their powers or otherwise had the odds heavily stacked against them, and explaining that a real hero doesn't do noble things ''because'' they have powers but rather that the powers are merely a tool to assist them as they do noble things.
* DevelopmentHell[[invoked]]: 14 months and counting from the previous episode, although given his hatred for this season it is understandable why he would procrastinate. Having said that, he also had to wait until the [=DVDs=] came out due to being part of Saban's Power Force and them requesting that footage from legitimate sources be used for any future projects (i.e. no ABC Family or Jetix recordings). Also, he has other projects going on that keep him pretty busy as well; he's dedicated first and foremost to ''Atop The Fourth Wall''.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Notes that it was a ZigZaggedTrope for the season, as while Mack had earned his humanity through his HeroicSacrifice in the final battle, Tyzonn doesn't have to do anything after finding out his long thought dead fiancée was still alive as she's rescued by the [[HarmlessVillain comic relief villain]] and just turns up at the Hartford Mansion.
* EnsembleDarkhorse[[invoked]]: Spencer was the big saving grace of the series for him, with his (sometimes) clever disguises and genuinely witty lines.
* FanService: Considers "Once A Ranger" an example of this done wrong and an example of how fanservice alone isn't enough of a redeeming quality to save a bad episode or make it enjoyable. He even goes on to explain how this can ''hurt'' an episode, by introducing multiple continuity snarls, create massive plot holes, or make the characters look ''worse'' (either by comparison or by, say, showing that you left [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman a fully-sentient and operational android trapped in a crate for years on end for literally no reason]]).
* FanWank[[invoked]]:
** Notes that if what is mentioned in AlternateCharacterInterpretation is true, then it's entirely possible that the robotics technology used to create Mack was descended from the "Robot Rangers" used in ''Lightspeed''.
** Due to the sirens of the Flashpoint Megazord and police motif of the Rescue Runners, Linkara theorizes that Hartford may have gone on to become a major funder and researcher for SPD in the future.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** After noting the premise of the Power Rangers fighting an army of machines hellbent on humanity's extinction sounds interesting, Lewis tells the viewer to hold on to that idea for [[Series/PowerRangersRPM a few seasons]].
** Shows several of the moments foreshadowing Mack's true origins as they appeared in the season, to show it wasn't a twist the writers pulled out of nowhere.
* FranchiseOriginalSin[[invoked]]: Points out that ''Operation Overdrive'' established a lot of elements that the Neo Saban Era would get criticized for[[note]]although it's possible that ''Dino Charge'' may have avoided these elements[[/note]] - most notably that CharacterDevelopment is informed as opposed to shown.
* HeadDesk: Lewis's reaction to Dax letting Miratrix get away with a scroll without even trying to stop her is to cut to footage of himself walking up to a wall and start banging his head against it. The footage of him banging his head against a wall is reused for the reaction to Alpha 6's recast.
* HumanoidAlien: He once again brings up how ''Power Rangers'' only has two different types of aliens: humanoid and "Oh God, Run away!"
* IKnowMortalKombat: While he will admit that as far as Dax being a stunt man, stuntmen are known for being very fit and capable of performing a physically demanding job, he does point out that choreographed stunt fighting is very different from actual combat training that someone should have to justify them being drafted into the Power Rangers.
* TheLoad: As far as initial skills go, Linkara accuses Ronny of this. While the other Rangers were a thief, a super genius, and a stunt man (all arguably useful on their own, but that's beside the point) Ronny's 'skills' consist of "drive cars really, really fast."
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Finds it irritating that Hartford can just make new morphers and Zords out of nowhere, which further leads him back to Rose's point of "You're rich, buy an army!"
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Points out that Mack and Hartford aren't very good at hiding their New Zealand accents.
* PlotCoupon: Most of the plot of the show revolves around the Rangers collecting random items that will help them find the jewels of the Corona Aurora. Lewis is quite happy to skip over most of these episodes because few if any of them have any real impact on the overall story, and most of these finds serve no purpose except to lead to the next episode's PlotCoupon, and perhaps eventually a jewel, which are the only plot coupons that matter since they're the only ones the various factions have any real interest in.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: The opening of his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech mentioned below regarding "Once a Ranger":
-->'''Linkara:''' Okay, if I haven't made it clear by now, allow me to do so: '''I. HATE. THIS. EPISODE!!'''
** Also:
--->'''Linkara: [[RunningGag SHUT. UP. DAX]]!!'''
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: He's confused as to why Hartford recruits "a stuntman, a thief, an admittedly intelligent college professor and a racing driver" to be Power Rangers, noting that when ''Lightspeed Rescue'' recruited civilians, it made sense because they had the relevant skills.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to the Overdrive Rangers on their decision to leave just because they lost their powers, even showing clips of the rangers before them continuing to fight despite the odds against them.
* RecycledScript[[invoked]]:
** Comments that the first episode is similar to the first episode of ''Lightspeed Rescue'', but if it had been done wrong. The main point Lewis makes is that while the Lightspeed Rangers had skills that made them feel like they were suited to the job, the Rangers Hartford recruited didn't have such skills and thus they didn't feel like they belong on a superhero team.
** Lewis also notes that Mack's relationship with Hartford is similar to the one between Wes and Mr. Collins in ''Time Force'', but rather than handling it gradually over the season, it's done in one episode.
* RunningGag:
** "You're rich, buy an army!"
** "Shut up, [X]!" Mostly Dax though.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]:
** Shares the fandom's dislike of Dax, noting that he is the character he hated the most from the season.
** He overall considers the Overdrive team to be the worst Power Ranger team due to their incredibly selfish and moronic actions throughout the series. Most exemplified in "Once A Ranger". This factor is a big part as to ''why'' he considers ''Overdrive'' the worst series, even if he considers ''Megaforce'' pretty terrible: the characters in ''Megaforce'' may be bland and forgettable (except for Robo Knight, Orion, and Gia), but at least they're not unlikable like the Overdrive team was.
* [[invoked]]ScrewedByTheNetwork: Mentions at the start of his ''Jungle Fury'' review that this was a factor in how the season turned out as the showrunners really were trying to give their all for the adaptation. But Disney was less than supportive, giving the show half its budget to really bring out its potential, and thus forcing them to cut costs and juggle the story the best they could with what they had. Heck, one of the executives they pitched it to even suggested to just dub ''Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger'' and be done with it[[note]]As noted above, this becomes somewhat HilariousInHindsight when the first 2 Neo Saban era shows end up being [[ShotForShotRemake direct adaptations of the source material]][[/note]].
* SeasonalRot: He considers ''Operation Overdrive'' to be the worst season of the show so far. He found a lot to enjoy in past seasons, such as certain story arcs, characterization, music, etc. Even ''Turbo'', despite him having a strong bias against it, had plenty of qualities that he legitimately loved. ''Overdrive'', on the other hand, has very little he considers enjoyable.[[invoked]]
* SenselessSacrifice: His opinion of the episode where Dax runs away from a starring role in a film to help the Rangers. Besides the fact the idea an entire movie's film production would be done in one day just sounding shady, he points out Dax leaves the movie set 5 seconds before his final scene would have been finished ''anyway''. Basically, instead of an Aesop of realizing his selfish ways to save the other Rangers, he just selfishly leaves the movie crew in the lurch after wasting their time when he could have, at that point, just finished the scene and left with about the same conclusion.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Points out that Mack was the Ranger who got the lion's share of the CharacterDevelopment, consequentially leaving the rest of the cast without any solid individual character arcs or growth.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: Linkara is very fond of Rose's statement to Mr. Hartford: "You're rich, buy an army!" This becomes especially obvious after it's revealed Mr. Hartford can upgrade human DNA (in his basement) to provide superpowers, can do so without limits, and can supposedly make as many morphers as he wants since he just so happens to build a new one for Tyzonn and can even make new Zords with seemingly no hassle.
* StuffBlowingUp: He notes how the Kalishplosions reach their illogical extreme here, as they often have ''no source at all''.
* TemptingFate: After going through the numerous reasons why the Overdrive team failed to impress him before "Once a Ranger"...
--> "But these are isolated incidents. It's not like the Rangers will be douchebags in this anniversary episode, will they?"
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:[[invoked]]
** He notes the ''ideas'' behind ''Overdrive'' were solid; it was the execution that made it so awful.
** Comes up while discussing "Once A Ranger" -- Lewis notes that he felt that the idea of a team of veteran Rangers returning to duty would have been more interesting than the Overdrive Rangers, particularly since the latter had proven to be uninteresting [[DesignatedHero Designated]] [[InvokedTrope Heroes]]. Furthermore, while the episode is full of fanservice and could have been a great team-up, the fanservice is not done well and the two teams barely interact. He specifically cites the episode as an example of how to do a team-up episode wrong.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: At the end of the ''Mystic Force'' video, Lewis notes that as many problems as he had with that season, he feels that ''Operation Overdrive'' is the worst that ''Power Rangers'' has to offer. He also expresses this at the beginning and end of the review.
* TookALevelInKindness: While the team was generally selfish and jerkish most of the time, he does applaud their group reaction to Mack being an android. They are immediately supportive of him and tell Mack nothing is any different between them.
* UnfortunateImplications[[invoked]]: Linkara mentions that, once again, the Black Ranger is portrayed by a black man:
-->'''Linkara''': Oh and once again the Black Ranger is black. I guess that was suddenly okay again back in 2007 but it wasn't okay [[SkewedPriorities for the Rangers to kick someone without a laser sound effect.]]
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]:
** While he doesn't have much good to say about the season, Lewis praises the twist revealing that Mack was actually a machine instead of human, specifically noting that the arc plays out for several episodes in a season that rushed most plot developments, that the Rangers (who Lewis points to as being dicks for most of the season) were immediately accepting of Mack not being human, that the reveal was unnerving, and that the ultimate pay-off to the story was earned.
** While Linkara still considers ''Overdrive'' to be the worst season of the show overall, he finds it baffling that the sheer incompetency and mismanagement of the grand finale and team-up episode of ''Super Megaforce'' makes "Once a Ranger" look competent by comparison.
--->'''Linkara:''' Dear Lord, what is happening in this world when you make "Once a Ranger" look like the competently made anniversary episode by comparison?
* WhatAnIdiot[[invoked]]: He considers Dax letting Miratrix walk away with a scroll while making absolutely no attempt to stop her absolutely mind-bogglingly idiotic, with footage of Linkara literally banging his head against the wall.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Calls the Overdrive Rangers out during "Once A Ranger" for quitting, citing numerous examples of when other Rangers had no powers or otherwise had the odds heavily stacked against them and kept fighting (with at least one from nearly ''every prior season'').
** Calls out the producers on the decision to have the Veteran Rangers retrieve Alpha from a crate in a warehouse in Angel Grove since it means that the Rangers had left Alpha to rot in a box for several years.
* WorstWhateverEver:
** As of the ''Dino Charge'' review, Linkara considers this to be the worst season of Power Rangers he's ever seen, stating it during the stinger of ''Mystic Force'' and saying it in the beginning and ending of the review.
** Before ''Megaforce's'' "Legendary Battle" came along, he considered "Once A Ranger" to be the worst team-up special ever, especially on the 15th anniversary season.
** He also, in no small part because of their behaviour in "Once A Ranger", thinks that the Operation Overdrive Team is the worst group of Rangers in the franchise. Linkara even states that one of the few things that Megaforce did better in their season was make their Rangers likable which is more than can be said for Overdrive.
* WTHCastingAgency[[invoked]]: Brings this up in regards to the voices for Thrax & Alpha 6 in the "Once A Ranger" special - Lewis explicitly questions why they didn't bring back Creator/RobertAxelrod to voice Lord Zedd's son or any of the previous voice actors who voiced Alpha since they were already bringing back 5 former Rangers (Including flying Creator/JohnnyYongBosch out to New Zealand) for the episode.
* WTHCostumingDepartment[[invoked]]: Absolutely ''hates'' the Overdrive Ranger's suits for several reasons, including the [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS weird insignia on the chest]] that looks like corporate branding, the gaudy use of chrome, and the useless and oddly square-shaped shoulder pads. Tyzonn's Mercury Ranger suit is even worse, as Linkara says it took what was already wrong with the Overdrive Suits and turned it up to eleven with even ''more'' chrome, bigger shoulder pads, and the odd choice of orange and purple accents.
* WordOfStPaul[[invoked]]: Notes Creator/JohnnyYongBosch's own AlternateCharacterInterpretation regarding Adam's actions since his last appearance on the show (namely that Adam was travelling the world doing good deeds, instead of Adam running a dojo).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Jungle Fury'']]
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: Notes that the nature of Dai Shi's possession of Jarrod means that it's unclear just how much of what was seen through the season was actually Dai Shi and how much was an amalgamation of the two personalities, with one example being Dai Shi's code of honor and if it was actually ''his'' code or just part of Jarrod's personality shining through.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Linkara jokes how this is averted since the Jungle Fury rangers acknowledge the existence of past teams even before becoming rangers while some ranger teams in the past showed this.
* TheAtoner: He thinks Casey has elements of this, what with his viewing Jarrod being possessed by Dai Shi as his own fault, and that his attacking Dai Shi's palace was atonement for his actions.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic[[invoked]]: Likes the theme song, and considers it a step above the Overdrive theme (though given his hatred of that theme, that's not really saying much). Alongside this, he really likes the overall fight music, barring a few odd cases like the Spirit Ranger's debut fight.
* BrokenAesop: Complains about this with regards to Dai Shi/Jarrod breaking a code as a child to not use martial arts skills on bullies because they were inferior opponents when Power Rangers is about using violence against evil.
* TheCastShowOff: Loves the greater focus on strict and straight-forward martial arts, rather than the excessive use of "[[StuffBlowingUp Kalish-splosions]]" and WireFu.
* CharacterDevelopment: He was very pleased with the character development this season, as everyone got an arc or at least a strong demonstration of their personality and contributions to the group.
* ContinuityNod: He speculates that R.J.'s HandWave about how he created the morphers was meant to tie into Doctor Hartford of ''Operation Overdrive''. He also notes that Dai Shi's flag ''actually'' has a pizza on it, believing it might be the source of the [[NeverLiveItDown evil pizzas that could not withstand a red light]] in ''Turbo''.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: R.J. is about as far removed from what you would expect a martial arts master to be as you can get but proves to be highly skilled and a great teacher in his own right.
* EccentricMentor: Praises the use of this trope in R.J., feeling that it's a good change of pace from the usual serious mentor as he manages to have an entertaining laid-back personality while still being an effective teacher.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct[[invoked]]: Praises the cast for their work, and notes that there were very few instances of cringeworthy acting in the season, outside of a few one-shot characters. While reviewing ''Samurai'', he talks about actors who have played different roles in more than one series and admits that he did not even recognize actress Holly Shannahan, who played Camille, as the same actress who played [=LeeLee=] in ''Mystic Force'' until someone actually pointed it out to him, noting her (and every other repeat actor's) versatility.
* InferredHolocaust[[invoked]]:
** Points out that by the end of the pilot episode, the Rangers haven't done anything to solve the problem with the city getting flooded.
** When the Megazords are fighting Grizzaka, he notes that they sent him flying through several buildings.
* ItsTheSameSoItSucks[[invoked]]: Averted - Lewis notes that ''Jungle Fury'' uses some of the same tropes as the preceding ''Operation Overdrive'' in several instances, such as the season's serialized nature and the use of multiple villain factions, but feels that it comes across as ''Operation Overdrive'' being a dry run for several ideas that ''Jungle Fury'' used in a much better fashion.
* {{Koan}}: Discusses this trope, implicitly comparing it to the MeaninglessMeaningfulWords used in ''Ninja Storm.'' R.J. always offers useful advice, even if it takes some time for them to understand the lesson. TheStinger for the video even shows a scene of R.J. mocking Dai Shi by saying "By tomorrow, today will be yesterday." and capping it off by saying he likes to leave people with a phrase that confuses them.
* {{Narm}} / NoJustNoReaction[[invoked]]: Responds to the Spirit Masters transforming into anthropomorphic animals as their highest level by just repeating "No. No. No." in a disappointed tone for about a minute, and later notes that the idea was just kinda dumb with how little the animal forms are on screen.
* SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove: [[invoked]] He brings up how this series is sandwiched between the highly disliked ''Operation Overdrive'' and the awesome ''RPM'', and as such is rarely discussed. But he found the acting to be above par with some great character arcs, and that it returns the series' focus more to martial arts skills instead of excessive explosions and wirework.
* PragmaticHero: Considers both sides of the debate to have good points in regards to Casey's skill level at the start of the season; Theo for saying that a beginner shouldn't be holding the team back, as the villains won't wait for them to catch up; and RJ for saying that if they don't work as a team, they won't win anyway.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Is bothered by the Rangers knowing who Grizzaka is when they first see him since they haven't actually met him before like they have the other overlords.
* RookieRedRanger: Points out that the trope is again used with Casey, and that ''Jungle Fury'' deconstructs the concept by having it immediately pointed out that the skill gap between Casey and his teammates is a major problem when the team is faced with the immediate threat of Dai Shi.
* RunningGag:
** Dubbing Master Mao over with Shadis from ''WebVideo/AttackOnTitanAbridged'' due to visual similarities.
** Being unable to remember the names of various martial arts words that are brought up, screwing up the names deliberately.
** Brings back the "Neeeeeeeever coming back again" gag when one of the baddies is sucked into a crystal.
* SixthRanger: He enjoys that RJ and Dominic were brought on board much later into the season rather than becoming rangers early on like the Thunderstorm rangers in ''Ninja Storm'' and Tommy in ''Dino Thunder'', as it allowed the rangers to grow as characters on their own and even let the audience have a good portion of the season with only three rangers rather than the traditional five.
* StrawmanHasAPoint[[invoked]]: As brought up in PragmaticHero above, Theo is treated as being wrong for not wanting Casey's inexperience to hold the team back, and while Lewis admits RJ has a point, Theo also does since the villains won't wait for Casey to catch up.
* TakeThat: He takes several jabs at the Neo-Saban era of the show (particularly ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Megaforce]]'') during this review.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks[[invoked]]:
** Averted - Lewis notes that ''Jungle Fury'' plays against several longstanding conventions of the franchise, such as the team consisting of the original three Rangers until the halfway point being the longest ''Power Rangers'' has gone with such a small group of Rangers, but praises the season for doing so.
** Lewis makes a point of mentioning this being the fan reaction to the season's morphers; however, he states that he's okay with the changes to the morphers from ''Gekiranger'', liking the sunglasses design as a change of pace after the standard fare with the morphers, plus that they're objects that are easy to conceal and won't stand out.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]:
** Notes that the subplot of R.J. transforming into a werewolf is wrapped up too quickly, lasting a total of two episodes.
** Praises the introduction of the Spirit Master Rangers and their addition to the team, but notes that since they were original creations for ''Jungle Fury'' and their actors were still guest stars, the show was limited in what they could do with them by both their budget and ''Gekiranger'' footage.
* TrashTheSet: Notes that in an interesting inversion, in this season it's not the '''Rangers'''' headquarters that get trashed, blown up, or otherwise destroyed, but the '''Villains''''.
* TroubledProduction[[invoked]]: Notes that the difficulty with the UsefulNotes/TVStrikes made some plot points kind of drop out in the middle episodes and resurface towards the end, But also that he can't tell any discernible change in quality between any given episode, making it not so big of a problem.
* TruthInTelevision: Referenced when talking about Jarrod in the character section. "He was a bully because of the bullying he received when he was younger, showing how damaging and detrimental that can be to children."
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]: Ends by describing ''Jungle Fury'' as an underrated season that's rarely spoken about and by praising the fight scenes, story, music and acting.
* WhatAnIdiot[[invoked]]: Considers Master Mao pulling the box containing Dia Shi out to show the students as the equivalent of giving someone a big red button and telling them not to push it.
* WTHCostumingDepartment[[invoked]]: While he praises the Ranger uniforms this year, Lewis notes that R.J. and Theo's Ranger suits look more like tracksuits than a superhero costume ([[HilariousInHindsight which ironically was indeed the case]] in ''Gekiranger'', where the costumes were made by a sports company). This was eventually acknowledged in the 2018 Website/YouTube re-upload. He also makes the point that the Rangers' standard uniforms (primarily their color with a black design) using a white-collar while their Jungle Master uniforms (primarily white with a design in their ranger color) use a black collar doesn't make much sense.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers RPM'']]
* AbortedArc: Notes that with the change in showrunner and writer during the show's production, a few plot points didn't go anywhere or went different places than they would have under the original crew.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: While not taken with "Power/Rangers" spoof film overall, he did laugh his ass off at its take on Hip-hopkido.
* AdaptedOut: Points out that in ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'' the giant robots were fully sentient and could talk (which explains the big googly eyes), which was removed from ''[=RPM=]'' almost entirely (Dr. K explains while there is ''some'' living matter inside the Zords, there was not enough for them to be considered truly 'alive'). As a result, only the bare minimum of the Zord Super Sentai footage could be used.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: When Jungle Pizza is shown being shaken down, Lewis speculates that either a) Jungle Pizza is a chain restaurant, and this isn't the one RJ works at, or b) the RJ of this universe never became a Pai Shao.
* AlternateUniverse: Goes into detail at the start of the review about how he personally dislikes alternate universes in franchises, as he prefers a serial continuity (partly in regards to the fact ''[=RPM=]'' is officially an alternate universe as of ''Samurai''). He does, however, lament that making ''[=RPM=]'' take place in another reality was about the only way to have any future Power Ranger seasons (since it took place AfterTheEnd of the [[RobotWar Robot Apocalypse]]).
* AntiClimax: In his opinion, the final fight with Venjix was a letdown, especially since the Rangers had destroyed Venjix's bodies before and there was nothing in the show that insinuated ''this'' time was any different ... although he does like that it was Dr. K who ultimately led to his downfall, as he enjoyed her getting that critical act of atonement for creating Venjix in the first place.
** He also disliked the ending to Summer's episode with her parents, mostly because it had such a token ending for being a (in his opinion, unnecessary) two-parter.
* ArcWelding: Whist Lewis notes that ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' firmly placed ''[=RPM=]'' into its own separate universe, he notes that the destruction caused by Venjix could be quickly undone by some of the alien species seen over the course of the previous seasons heading to Earth & helping humanity rebuild, which would subsequently mean that they would be seen as humanity's friends whilst cybernetics would be persecuted due to Venjix's actions, which would explain their places in society as seen in ''Series/PowerRangersSPD''.
* TheBadGuyWins: Discusses that Venjix came the closest out of any Power Ranger villain to pull this off due to pretty much taking over Earth.
* BodyHorror: Points out Tenaya was pretty much the victim of this by Venjix, since by the time it's revealed she is Dillon's sister it's been shown at least one of her legs and hands have been removed and replaced with cybernetics (her hand now detachable, by the way) and her [[EyeScream eyes had also been replaced]] to remedy her blindness.
* BrokenBase[[invoked]]: Despite that popular opinion online seems to treat ''[=RPM=]'' as the fan favorite season of the Disney Era, Linkara points out during his research of the season he found fans were a lot more divisive. He cites that many fans he talked to not liking the DarkerAndEdgier story mixed with the levity and LampshadeHanging of ''Power Rangers'' tropes. He also notes that the reason the season was much more positively viewed after the fact was likely due to it no longer being the final season as it was originally intended to be. With that in mind, fans no longer had to look at ''[=RPM=]'' with the knowledge that this would be the last season of the show.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: He found the "Believe it will work" method of using the ranger powers to be much better implemented here than in ''Mystic Force'' thanks to Dr. K's more logic rooted explanations for it and because it actually played a role in Dillon's development. Since he was a cynic so used to not having hope, it would make sense for him to need to learn to have faith in something.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Linkara notes that this season was particularly dark in response to Disney wanting to appeal to older audiences instead of just little kids. At one point after a pretty heavy and emotional backstory episode for Dr. K Linkara says he's finally ready for some levity ... only for the next episode to feature a rather gruesome nightmare involving Dillon losing his blind sister in one of Venjix's factories.
* ExecutiveMeddling:[[invoked]] Again discusses that by this point Disney had long since stopped caring about the series and would've stopped at ''Jungle Fury'' if a clause from their European Jetix branch didn't state they had to a least make one more Power Rangers series. Luckily they decided to give free rein to the producers and let them do whatever they wanted since they figured it was the last season anyway. But for some odd reason fired Eddie Guzelian in the middle of the season with no explanation, forcing Judd Lynn to take over for the rest of the series. It thankfully didn't affect too much as Judd managed to play catch up and work with what they had, but it did alter some intended plot points.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Praises the show for doing this well with Dillon. To get into specifics, in his first scene Dillon sacrifices the last of his water to a flower in the desert, which Linkara points out was a great way to establish him as an ultimately compassionate and human character, despite his dark and brooding attitude.
* FanFilm: He spends some time talking about ''WebVideo/PowerRangersBootlegUniverse'', which was released within a few weeks of this installment. He stated outright he was not a fan, especially that the satire was not made by a fan but someone making a statement about the DarkerAndEdgier reboots Hollywood does. Among many things he listed PoesLaw and ShallowParody in how so many people were saying it was actually the Power Rangers "fans wanted." "[[SarcasmMode Yeah, Zack doing drugs, sleeping with prostitutes and violently murdering enemies is what we always wanted to see.]]" He does admit [[ActuallyPrettyFunny he laughed hysterically]] at the "Hip Hop Kido Dance Video." In the conclusion, he compares how the two handle similar ideas, listing ''[=RPM=]'' as actually being enjoyable while being darker ''and'' okay for kids to watch.
* {{Filler}}: Points out the behind-the-scenes episode was this due to Judd Lynn taking over and needing something to stall for time while he got caught up with the series.
* FridgeLogic[[invoked]]:
** Is baffled at how Summer's parents (and by extension, the rich family they wanted Summer to marry into) were able to survive in the post-apocalyptic city since they weren't skilled or smart, they were just rude, snooty rich people (in a time where, logically, the money from before the end of the world would really have little to no value anymore).
** Linkara also muses on ''[=RPM=]'''s status as being in an AlternateUniverse, whether that its just an AlternateTimeline where previous Ranger teams did exist but were destroyed by Venjix's forces, or if this is a completely self-contained reality where the ''[=RPM=]'' team is the first Power Rangers team to ever be formed on Earth.
* GrandFinale: While this was long released after it was known that [=RPM=] isn't the grand finale, and, by extension, this isn't the finale of Linkara's series, it's still treated as such (with Linkara even adding a music video at the end with that sort of effect).
* JitterCam: While the series does lessen the Kalishplosions, its biggest weakness in the action scenes is the infamous Shaky Cam.
* ManChild: Theorizes that Gem and Gemma were intended to be this, as a counterpoint to Dr. K being socially awkward and introverted from being locked away in the government think tank, Gem and Gemma due to having each other in the same environment grew up socially awkward but very extroverted. This is also the reason for them never seeming to think about the consequences of their actions: they simply don't know any better.
* MisaimedFandom: [[invoked]] Discussed when he talks about the ''Power Rangers'' fan film that had come out since the last vid. He notes the maker of that vid intended it as a parody of ''Power Rangers'', noting that if Hollywood rebooted it as a movie, they would probably try to play it seriously and make it DarkerAndEdgier at the cost of the cheesy charm and humor that makes ''Power Rangers'' what it is. However, Lewis also says that a lot of news articles and viewers missed that point, took the film seriously, and actually thought it was a good idea.
* NecessarilyEvil: Describes Fresno Bob and his mafia as this in Corinth, and praises the show for giving a nod to the fact criminal organizations actually ''would'' be useful in a post-apocalyptic society (unlike, say, Summer's parents just because they were rich) since they could get much-needed supplies and materials using unscrupulous means that the government themselves couldn't use (although Linkara does point out the mafia's presence does show possible corruption in the governing forces in Corinth).
* NightmareFuel[[invoked]]: Admits that the scene with Tenaya casually cornering Ziggy all while whistling a happy melody was pretty terrifying.
* NonIndicativeName: Lewis points out how the name ''RPM'' suggests a car theme but has very little to do with a show set AfterTheEnd due to the robot apocalypse.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Lewis gives one before he reads Eddie Guzelian's profanity-laden rant when [[OhCrap he saw the incredibly goofy]] ''[[OhCrap Go-onger]]'' [[OhCrap footage he had to adapt into a show that would appeal to an older audience]]. To quote Guzelian below:
-->''Holy sh**! I just promised Disney I could turn this into a show that would appeal to an OLDER audience! I must be out of my f***ing mind! Holy sh**! Wait, what's on the front of that Zord? Are those motherf***ing eyeballs?!''
* ObliviouslyEvil: While more anti-heroes than evil, Lewis comments that Gem and Gemma's problem with not considering the consequences of their actions is that due to how they grew up, they simply don't know any better and [[ManChild are mentally children.]]
* OutOfFocus: Notes that it's one of the seasons where the Red Ranger isn't the show's focal point.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Lewis comments on how different the source footage from ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'' was from ''RPM''. He also points out that Eddie Guzelian was unfamiliar with the series, he did watch some episodes beforehand. This combined with the vastly different original footage led to script delays. This is actually rather ironic compared to ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' which did something similar.
* RecycledScript:[[invoked]] Notes the similarities of the brother-sister storyline from ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''
* RomanceOnTheSet[[invoked]]: Makes a typical "Aww, they should get married" joke about Ziggy & Dr. K's relationship, but expands it to note that the actors playing the characters actually ''did''.[[note]]Sadly not together anymore since 2016.[[/note]]
* RunningGag: Is (jokingly) bewildered that this is now the ''third'' Power Rangers season in a row to have the mentor [[LegoGenetics messing with their team's DNA]] (after ''Operation Overdrive'' and ''Jungle Fury'').
* SequelHook: Talks about the fact that Venjix's AI was hiding in the Red Ranger morpher as this, as the production team were holding out hope that Disney would change their mind about the series (they didn't).
* ShallowParody: [[invoked]] Discusses the mean-spirited and superficial way the ''Power/Rangers'' short film treated the subject material with how ''RPM'' had an intimate understanding of ''Power Rangers'' tropes and made it self-aware but also something of a {{reconstruction}} by being self-aware and explaining how it all works.
* SoundtrackDissonance: Discussed. Linkara believes that they went with the (much crappier) theme rather than what he felt to be the better theme due to said track not matching with the DarkerAndEdgier tone of the season. He points to ''Series/BlakesSeven'' as an argument against that since it's one of the darkest Si-Fi ever yet has a very upbeat theme. Not to mention he judges it based on how pleasing it is to listen to and not whether it matches the show's tone.
* TakeAThirdOption: Most fans are split as to whether Summer is either a badass and one of the best characters of the season or a MarySue who inserts herself where she's not needed/wanted and gets in the way of other Rangers development. Linkara thinks she's... Underdeveloped. He argues that most of her CharacterDevelopment happens in her backstory episodes and barring that she's just sort of there.
* TroubledProduction:[[invoked]] Coming off the writers strike, with producer Bruce Kalish leaving to do his own things, Disney always looking for ways to get rid of the show and hiring an untested producer Eddie Guzelian who promised to make an especially goofy Super Sentai series into a mature show that would appeal to older audiences. The said producer was replaced midseason over [[CreativeDifferences undisclosed reasons]] and veteran Judd Lynn took over. Linkara notes that, while it does show up in a shift in writing, the series is exceptionally strong regardless. If anything, he considers the fact that this season was finished at all as evidence that miracles exist.
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]: Discussed at the beginning. Linkara received confusion when he said that the season was divisive since many fans consider it to be one of the best. He states that he received loads of people on both sides hoping for praise or hatred. One of the reasons he believes that the backlash went down was due to ''Power Rangers'' continuing afterward, so people didn't have to worry about this season being the last.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: Claims that despite the obvious conclusion of Tenaya being Dillon's sister, he had heard ultimately this was going to be a RedHerring in the original script and she was not going to be. Although Linkara does seem quite a bit dubious of this.
** As mentioned above under SequelHook, TheStinger of Venjix hiding in the Red Ranger morpher was done in hopes of Disney changing their mind about cancelling Power Rangers.
* WhenThingsSpinScienceHappens: Why is Dillon spinning on a turntable while the exposition on the ranger suits is given? Science.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Samurai'']]
* ActorAllusion:[[invoked]] During his rant against [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Mentor Ji]], he calls him a "sack of [[Series/PowerRangersSPD Grumm]]".
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Despite not liking Xandred, Linkara admits the joke about him talking without moving his mouth is this.
* AdaptedOut: He notes that the original ''Shinkenger'' had the Rangers accompanied by massive support staff, including stage-hands carrying flags and banners to their battles. These people were not present in ''Samurai'' (minus a cameo in one of the Halloween specials), but fragments of this remain in the overall infrastructure.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: Discusses how screwed-up he thinks the Samurai Rangers must be due to the heavy burden placed on them by their families, citing Kevin's perfectionism as an example, even looking at Mia's cooking as a way for her to break out of that routine and do something for herself.
* ArcFatigue[[invoked]]: Feels this way in general over Deker's story arc. While impressed with the backstory and a surprising finale, Linkara felt it was dragged out longer than it should have been.
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: When Antonio [[ItMakesSenseInContext has his consciousness implanted into a dead fish about to be eaten by a stray cat]], he becomes deathly afraid of fish, and the other Rangers try to help him with what they call "[[YouKeepUsingThatWord Aversion Therapy]]". Not only does Linkara point out that Aversion Therapy is something completely different, but what they ''are'' doing (Exposure Therapy) is supposed to be done slowly over a long period of time, and all shoving what someone is terrified of in their faces will do is likely cause the person to have a panic attack.
* BadassDecay[[invoked]]: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in terms of Bulk. While Linkara notes that many fans considered this a severe step backwards in Bulk's character (especially from ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]''), he points out that Bulk still has the same development and gumption he gained throughout the series, and his reactions to battle aren't cowardice per se, but just a realistic reaction to facing a dangerous monster when you have no special powers or weapons, like the Rangers have (again, noting that ''In Space'' was a situation of it being humanity's last stand, so of course Bulk would have an excuse for TakingALevelInBadass there).
* BorrowedCatchphrase: In Part 1, Linkara says, "To quote another web video show, '[[WebVideo/RedLetterMedia You may not have noticed, but your brain did.]]'"
* CallBack: Reminds us why Jayden and Lauren can't be the Red Ranger at the same time by pointing out what happened with [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder the White Ranger Clone]].
* ChildSoldiers: Linkara notes that due to the heavy burdens of familial responsibility placed on the Samurai Rangers and the clear pressure they've been under due to their duty to fight the Nighloks, to the point where they're pretty much told to drop everything to answer the call, he considers them this. He also notes that while he joked about Zordon previously, it's worth noting that Zordon (and practically every other mentor) offered their Rangers a choice in the matter and that while Jayden technically offers that choice, their families still spent their lives forcing them down the path of the samurai, meaning that for them, there really was no choice at all.
* ChristmasRushed: [[invoked]] Because of the last-minute {{Uncanceled}}, the show had about half the normal production period. This results in truncated filming and scripts that are [[ShotForShotRemake almost direct translations from the original Shinkenger]].
* ConflictBall: He hates the artificial issues brought on by Jayden actually ''leaving'' the team after the reveal that he was not the proper heir to the Red Ranger legacy. Especially that Lauren is incredibly sympathetic throughout (she's equally skilled and does nothing poor as a leader to earn their ire) and that Jayden acts as though everyone is upset over the deception when they ''don't care'' from the start.
* EndingFatigue[[invoked]]: While he does give credit to the 'team-up episode' ''Clash of the Red Rangers'' despite its numerous shortcomings, he does note that the driving force for the plot was resolved halfway through the second episode, and thus all that was left was 15 minutes of a rather uninteresting fight scene that just seemed to stretch on forever.
* EnsembleDarkhorse[[invoked]]:
** Out of all the rangers, he enjoyed Antonio the most due to him actually choosing to become a ranger and fight evil while everyone else was forced into the life and suffers an absurd amount of emotional baggage because of it.
** Once again, he felt that Bulk was the highlight, despite his inclusion being last minute since he rarely interacts with the rangers.
** Lauren was actually Linkara's favorite ranger for this season due to being the first female red ranger as well as Kimberly Crossman's incredible performance.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Linkara says that Jayden's first scene as the Samurai Red Ranger was handled very well since he came off as badass... and then laments the fact that Nickelodeon [[invoked]][[OutOfOrder skipped the first two episodes of this season]], starting viewers off on the third episode and thus wasting the whole purpose of the scene.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Points out that since Mentor Ji doesn't really have a first or last name, all the Rangers just call him "Mentor". He ''also'' points how that this really annoys him since it sounds really awkward whenever a Ranger calls him this, every single time.
* FakeNationality: [[invoked]] Linkara points out that the show tried really hard to push the fact that Antonio was Latino... even though the actor who ''played'' Antonio is actually Thai.
* FakeShemp: Brings this up in regards to the "Clash of the Red Rangers" two-parter, how the RPM Red Ranger Scott remained morphed the entire time (and Antonio was not seen out of costume). The reasons for this were complicated, as Creator/EkaDarville, Scott's actor, had become a [[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood SAG member]] and ''Power Rangers'' has always been a non-union production, so he got around that by using an alternate stage name and providing the voice-over. But Linkara does say that while the set-up could be extremely disappointing, there was some value in that staying morphed supported the plot-relevant distrust, and there was still effort made to show the personality clash between the vehicle-oriented RPM ranger and the mystical Samurai rangers.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Jayden's secret that lasts the entirety of the series was not so bad that it obviously needed to be ''kept'' secret, and when it is discovered, Jayden himself is distraught that he had to hide it from his friends while they understood exactly why.
* FreudWasRight: Linkara mocks Deker's obsession with his phallic symbol -- he-he means his sword, Urumasa.
* FridgeHorror: [[invoked]] He talks about how the Rangers were drilled into being ready to fight as Samurai Rangers from a young age, and as a result, they had significant emotional scars and took failure extremely hard. Linkara's fury at how Mentor Ji treats Antonio as unworthy for not having that long tradition is among his biggest rants since Antonio is not merely self-taught but also the only Ranger who joins out of personal desire and not from longstanding family pressure.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: Despite not having seen Shinkenger, Xandred's "medicine" doesn't fool him for a second.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Really doesn't find Xandred impressive. He doesn't even lead plans, he just sits around drinking "medicine", and does this for over 99% of the season. And even then, he doesn't have any redeeming qualities like an awesome voice or a humor factor that other villains could at least hold claim to. He even goes on record to say that with his other least enjoyable villains (Divatox, Lothor, Bansheera), at least they would do something with their time, making him perhaps the ''worst'' lead villain up to this point.
* GutturalGrowler: Dislikes this aspect of Xandred's voice since it's so generic.
* HaHaHaNo: This rant toward Mantor Ji swiping Antonio's morpher (which Antonio made himself, thus it's his property and makes Ji a thief) starts off like this, chuckling before asking who Ji thought he was doing that.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: [[invoked]] Not too surprising for the actress herself, but Linkara comments that Lauren is so well performed compared to the rest of the cast (being Power Rangers, most of the acting rarely gets above just "okay", and even then, some of the acting in this season was pretty damn bad at points) it makes her that much more sympathetic for [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic their bad attitude towards her]].
* HeroWorshipper: Gets quite annoyed about the Samurai Rangers being this for Jayden, especially when Lauren enters the picture and is clearly trying her best, but the others barely give her a chance because 'she's not Jayden'.
* HomoeroticSubtext: Even he admits the almost sexual undertones between Jayden and Antonio, and shows the infamous clip of Antonio eyeing Jayden while saying "I'm ready for some action", ostensibly for sparring.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Finds this incredibly annoying as the characters don't stop making puns in a fight.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks:[[invoked]] He points out how ''Samurai'' really suffers from largely being a straight translation of ''Shinkenger'''s story, with occasional plot holes when something was changed, plus massive ValuesDissonance of a bunch of non-Asian people acting like they're Japanese.
* InsultToRocks: During his RageAgainstTheMentor towards Mentor Ji he refers to him as more of a glorified butler than [[TheMentor a mentor]] before saying that's unfair since Spencer from ''Operation Overdrive'' actually was a butler and was one of his favorite characters that season.
* KarmaHoudini: For all the reasons Linkara has to dislike Mentor Ji, one thing in particular that irks him is the fact that he never gets called out when he makes a mistake. There is even an instance where both Mentor Ji and Jayden are in the wrong, and ''only'' Jayden ends up called out and apologizing, Mentor Ji just standing in the background avoiding the blame.
* LamePunReaction: This season's problem with the fight scenes? The Rangers keep invoking this trope for the audience.
* LastMinuteHookUp: There are some hints that Mike and Emily would end up together, but this comes mostly from a few instances of characters talking about it rather than actually showing them interacting and having chemistry throughout the season.
* ManChild: Says that since Spike's actor was clearly trying to channel Skull from the first season of ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Mighty Morphin']]'' (keyword: ''trying''), he comes across this way, even though Spike is obviously supposed to be around 17 or 18.
* MagicVersusScience: Linkara notes that the team-up has elements of this, even leading into a minor tangent stating that these were the two basic styles of Power Ranger shows (listing ''Mighty Morphin'', ''Zeo'', ''Overdrive'', ''SPD'' and ''RPM'' as falling on the science side, while ''Mystic Force'', ''Wild Force'', and ''Samurai'' fall on the spiritual side). He also claims that the difference between the two methodologies, and even the way the command centers are decorated (and how Ranger Red reacts to them) increase his enjoyment of the episode.
* MerchandiseDriven: Got rather annoyed with this through the season, as new zords and power-up after power-up happened in every other episode. He didn't mind the armored form used to pilot the zords or the white jacket super mode (feeling that both were distinctive and "[[RunningGag At least it isn't glitter!]]"), but the new battle discs and weapon variations wore thin.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Talks about his disappointment over not getting to see the Samurai Ranger team visiting the RPM Ranger team's command center (although he understands the previous set was likely destroyed and it wasn't cost-effective to rebuild nor bring back ''all'' the RPM actors). In particular, he would have loved to see how Dr. K would have reacted to the Samurai Rangers and the more spiritual origin of their powers.
* OutOfOrder[[invoked]]:
** Decided to go with the official first episode "Origins" (which aired at the end of the series) instead of the third episode that was first aired. He notes that "Origins" isn't a great episode, but it does have a fantastic opening scene [[EstablishingSeriesMoment that would have endeared audiences to the show much faster]].
** Also noted is that, despite premiering between seasons, "Clash of the Red Rangers" uses power-ups and Zords that wouldn't be properly introduced until ''Super Samurai''.
* PlotHole: Points out that sometimes the writers would forget important plot points ''between episodes!'' For instance, in one episode [[BigBad Xandred]] mutates one of his monsters for betraying him and sets him loose on the Rangers, but in the next episode, Xandred has no idea why the monster was mutated and what it was doing on Earth. Another one has Lauren joining the team because she finally mastered her sealing training...only to be still needing to train to master the technique in the next episode.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Linkara points out two major instances of this.
** The first is that Jayden insists on keeping the fact that he's not actually the head of the Shiba family a secret from his team, even though there was no reason to keep that a secret and he just ended up orchestrating drama where it didn't need to be.
** The second is Dayu and Deker's sub-plot, in which Deker has forgotten all about his former life with Dayu and Dayu keeps wanting him to remember...but never bothers to just ''tell'' Deker who he was and actually try and help him remember.
* PowerGlows: He liked the unique morphing style of the season, writing colored symbols into the air and them becoming the Ranger's helmet. The grand Sealing Symbol used against Xandred near the end also had additional fire effects, which made it feel like something special and unique.
* RaceLift: Zig-zagged, he actually has no fundamental issue with the team being multicultural instead of all Japanese, rationalizing that one of their ancestors may have been adopted or just not Japanese and married into the family, although he does admit that Jayden having the very Japanese last name of Shiba while being Caucasian was just odd. Given that ''Power Rangers'' hasn't had an Asian Red Ranger (white or black, with some argument towards Native American and Hispanic) yet, it would have been a nice touch and probably more appropriate. He also calls out the fact that Kevin acts bigoted towards Antonio at first due to him not having any "samurai heritage", even though Kevin is ''clearly'' not Japanese himself.
* RageAgainstTheMentor / TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Oh my, Linkara does ''not'' like Mentor Ji. He goes on an angry rant about the fact that Ji is one of the most useless mentors in the series, seems to have no right to even call himself a mentor (since he's not a Ranger himself, nor is ever explained as having any samurai heritage), acts unnecessarily elitist towards [[SixthRanger Antonio]] when he wants to join the team (including "confiscating" Antonio's morpher, ''which he had no right to take given that Antonio made the damn thing'', right in front of him), and typically gives pointless rhetoric as advice (and once even gave the exact ''opposite'' advice later in the same episode).
* RecycledScript[[invoked]]: Relates Lauren's arrival to replace Jayden as the same "Originally-destined Red Ranger replaces established Red Ranger" plot as Alex replacing Wes in ''[[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]''. However, he does call attention to the fact that Alex was an ass so the other Rangers wanting Wes back was understandable, but in ''Samurai'' Lauren is quite nice and sympathetic, so the other Rangers not giving her a chance and being obsessed with trying to get Jayden back comes off as jerkish.
* RevisitingTheRoots: This was the first season Saban was making since Disney gave up the rights to the show, and it was obvious they were trying to invoke ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers'' in ''Samurai''. Linkara points out that this was actually a terrible idea since the series had evolved so much since the first season, and that forcing it to regress away from its development resulted in, according to him, an awful entry to the franchise.
* RewatchBonus: [[invoked]] He admits that after being disappointed watching it when it first came out, seeing it a second time for the review let him appreciate certain things a lot better. In particular, he didn't catch Jayden's character arc in how he preferred relying on himself [[YouAreNotAlone over trusting his teammates]], only to build that trust and bring it through the finale.
* {{Rule 63}}: After the introduction of the dimension-crossing subway train, Linkara ponders if there's one for any alternate universe, including a gender-swapped one.
* RunningGag:
** Showing the Bulk and Spike clips with Bulk talking about his many adventures with the Rangers ("Spike, did I ever tell you about the time...?").
** Any time the Rangers get a new Zord, Linkara notes that it commonly gives the Megazord a big, clunky helmet.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]:
** He ''loathes'' Mentor Ji for his stubborn elitism, inconsistent teachings, and goes on a massive rant when he takes Antonio's morpher away. Keep in mind, Antonio made the morpher himself, so unlike the Samuraizers, which belong to the Shiba family, Ji has '''zero''' right to take it away.
** He finds Xandred to be one of the worst villains in ''Power Rangers'', as all he does is whine on his boat and drink sake--err, "medicine". He comments that even ''Lothor'' actually got out of his ship and fought.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork[[invoked]]: Linkara points out that for reasons that baffle him, Nickelodeon aired the third episode as the first, and notes that in comparison to the first episode that was aired on Nickelodeon, the actual first episode was a better start and that if the first episode had been the one that had actually aired, people would've probably had a lot more faith in the series. Also, due to showing the episodes out of order, he notes that the SixthRanger is spoiled by the opening[[note]]the original opening doesn't show this; however because the episodes were shown out of order, the version of the opening the first 2 episodes show is the one from the end of the series, which includes the SixthRanger, something that was not corrected in the DVD release[[/note]].
* SerendipityWritesThePlot[[invoked]]: Brings this up concerning ''Clash of the Red Rangers'', noting that the inability of Eka Darville to be present on set, resulting in Scott being morphed for the whole special, aligned nicely with the plot revolving around the Samurai team's distrust of him.
* ShallowParody: [[invoked]] Again refers to the ''Power/Rangers'' film in that despite the franchise being built on characters who are teenagers or thereabouts, the franchise has never had their characters trained from birth and forced into being ChildSoldiers, and they were always allowed to leave if they so desired. This is in discussion of how the characters in this season ''were'' trained from a young age to be warriors fighting evil, but are the exception rather than the rule.
* ShotForShotRemake: Concedes that a lot of this season's issues stem from it being a rather poorly translated copy of the original ''Shinkenger''.
* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: [[DiscussedTrope Linkara discusses]] the fact that, unlike other seasons, the Rangers here were pretty much browbeaten by their families from a [[ChildSoldiers very early age]] to become Power Rangers, and thus really had no choice but to take the responsibility. He also claims that Jayden giving the other Rangers a choice to leave in the first episode doesn't count as actually giving them a choice since by then their parents had been pressuring them for years to accept their Samurai duty.
* SoOkayItsAverage[[invoked]]:
** His opinion of the season as a whole. Although he decries it for being [[ChristmasRushed obviously rushed]], having mostly [[GenericDoomsdayVillain uninteresting villains]], and having [[MerchandiseDriven way too many power-ups]], his ultimate verdict is that ''Samurai'' is still perfectly watchable and at least succeeded in targeting its intended demographic of little kids.
** A more specific example would be his opinion of the first two episodes. While he did enjoy Jayden's badass EstablishingCharacterMoment, overall the episodes were just average.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]:
** Expressed disappointment that it was fairly obvious that Bulk and Spike were added late in production since they have very little interaction with the Rangers and almost no bearing on the plot.
** He also expresses disappointment in the amount of wasted potential with Emily, stating that her background of being chosen to replace her sick sister, who was originally supposed to take on the Samurai duties, could've been expanded on, especially with how she already seems to have depression or an inferiority complex because of said background. He specifically mentions that Emily replacing her sister as a Samurai ranger would have made a great {{foil}} to Jayden, and his not being the 'real' inheritor of the Red Ranger legacy.
** As with ''Turbo'', he feels that Serrator is a better villain than Xandred and should have been the real BigBad.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]:
** Says that the biggest problem with the Deker/Dayu subplot is that while the DealWithTheDevil idea was interesting, the whole thing didn't really go anywhere and had almost no bearing on the main story. To make things worse, the subplot doesn't even have a satisfying conclusion (Deker and Dayu just die separately and never resolve anything between each other), making it feel even more pointless after the fact.
** While it was more based on Linkara's own [[invoked]] [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation personal interpretation of the characters]], he feels there was a lot of lost opportunity in exploring how screwed up the Rangers must have been from being trained to be Samurai Rangers from such an early age. In particular, he says Emily's relation to her sick older sister or her possible depression could have been explored, and he would have really liked to see Jayden have more prominent daddy issues, or have a troubled father/son relationship with Mentor Ji.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Despite mentioning in a previous review he was actually enjoying ''Samurai'', he prefaces this review stating his opinions had changed and that this season just was not very good.
* TroubledProduction:[[invoked]] Linkara notes that due to the season being ChristmasRushed after being {{uncanceled}}, the writers had a truncated pre-production period and had to bank heavily off ''Shinkenger'''s transcripts instead of creating their own work. This resulted in more than a few {{Plot Hole}}s and ValuesDissonance.
* ValuesDissonance:[[invoked]] One of his biggest problems with ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' is the lack of care in adapting ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'''s heavy focus on uniquely Japanese cultural values such as PillarsOfMoralCharacter and familial honor being put on children to drive them to inherit the family business, so to speak, for a more global perspective. It comes to a head during his discussion of Antonio's post-introductory episode, with him regarding Antonio as the most heroic of the Rangers, since he willingly chose to become a superhero of his own free will despite the risks and worked his ass off to do it, while the script is steeped in more-traditionally-Japanese notions of obligation and deference. It gets even worse when you learn in ''Dino Charge'' that Jonathan Tzachor originally wanted the rangers sequestered in the Shiba house, and one episode that had a video game console was met with shock and horror.
* ViewersAreMorons: He conjectures that the Rangers shout out their names during the ThemeSong because the production team assumed little kids would be too stupid to remember them otherwise.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: [[invoked]] Notes that this is the first series filmed in high definition and looks gorgeous for it.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]:
** Although he claims to have gotten the information second-hand, he explains that Bulk and Spike were likely added to the cast to fill certain future roles in the show, specifically Bulk in a Brown Ranger sub-plot that ended up not being used, and/or Spike intended to be the Samurai Gold Ranger.
** He also shares that he heard that in pre-production, ideas were thrown around about the team being billed specifically as an [[FiveTokenBand International Team]], as well as the show being set in Stone Canyon (the neighboring city to Angel Grove mentioned several times in ''Mighty Morphin''').
** During his ''Dino Charge'' videos, he mentions that he saw an interview that revealed that the ChildSoldiers undertone of the team would have been even more blatant if Jonathan Tzachor had gotten his way. Tzachor wanted the team to be permanently sequestered in the Shiba House with no contact with the outside world, to the point where apparently a proposed plot with the Rangers playing with a video game system resulted in a "horrified" reaction from Tzachor.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** He calls the other Rangers out on being jerks and borderline shunning Lauren just because 'she's not Jayden' when all she wants to do is fulfill her family duty and be their friend. He ''then'' calls out Jayden for leaving the team (in the middle of Lauren's welcome party, no less) when there was no reason to and turning the situation all about him while also causing his teammates to resent Lauren for "making" Jayden leave (she didn't, and wanted him to stay and still be part of the team).
** Calls out Mentor Ji for a ''lot'' of problems, such as him never getting called out on his flaws, conflicting advice, ''bad'' advice, and ''taking the Gold Ranger's Morpher'' because "he wasn't from a Samurai Clan" (the Morpher was undeniably Antonio's property, so it was literally stealing), despite the Gold Ranger being the ''only'' one who chose to be a hero of his own free will, without any familial prompting.
** Points out that the families of the Rangers put ''so'' much pressure on their kids to obey the family obligations that they come across as emotionally broken child soldiers who never had a choice in the matter.
* TheWoobie[[invoked]]: Lauren Shiba. Linkara states that if she had just been a jerk like Alex from ''Time Force'' things would have been different, but her actress (Kimberley Crossman) played her so sympathetic that it made the other Samurai Rangers look ''really'' bad when they kept ignoring her and trying to get Jayden to return to the team.
* WTHCostumingDepartment[[invoked]]: While he admits that he enjoyed how the {{Moo|k}}oogers' top-half looked Lovecraftian in design, he says that the mustard-yellow pants were pretty tacky and made them look strangely bulky.
* YouLookFamiliar:[[invoked]] After Deker appears, Linkara goes on a brief tangent about how Power Rangers is fond of reusing actors during the New Zealand years (highlighting Kelsen Henderson, Michelle Langstrom, Rick Medina and Holly Shannahan).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Megaforce'']]
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: While he admits that Vrak's "Far too complex for you to understand" and Gosei's "There's a simple explanation for that ..." were pretty funny, the fact that ''Megaforce'' was overflowing with [[HandWave Hand Waves]] made them a lot less funny in hindsight.
* AdaptationalWimp: Linkara was not only irritated that the original ''Mighty Morphin''' suits weren't used during the first outing with the Ranger Keys, but when the team finally ''does'' use the original MMPR suits, they get their asses kicked pretty easily by the enemy.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:[[invoked]]
** In terms of Gosei, Linkara mentions that instead of being TheMentor of the team, Gosei really was built by Zordon but as a true 'last resort'. Gosei misinterprets the situation and creates the Megaforce Rangers, and due to only being able to function as a 'last resort', starts just throwing every tool and resource at the Rangers without any restraint.
** The way he saw Emma was as a vapid GranolaGirl {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, and while he says there's nothing wrong with being a 'tree-loving hippie', she was always talking about how "beautiful the world is, guys" and was [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny easily distracted during their missions]].
* {{Angrish}}: His maniacal laughing at [[spoiler:Robo Knight's UnexplainedRecovery in the finale]] gives away to screaming and shooting a wall with a gun.
* AntiClimax: Most of the big battles, or at least what were ''supposed'' to be big battles, ended up this way since the Rangers were constantly being thrown new Zords and weapons by Gosei and none of the villains ever got the chance to really show themselves as any sort of legitimate threat, so there was no suspense in the battles.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: As soon as the first episode, Emma questions what a Power Ranger is. Cue anger from Linkara.
-->'''Linkara''': Oh, for the love of-! You can't openly acknowledge the long history of the show, and have people act like they've never heard of the Power Rangers!
* AssPull:[[invoked]]
** Gosei just hands out new powers and weapons and Zords every episode, sometimes because the Rangers sorta 'earned' them, but usually for no reason at all. Although Linkara does state that in Gosei's case this would have to be more of a ''Mouth'' Pull since Gosei doesn't have an ass.
** Robo Knight [[spoiler:coming back to life in the finale ''with no explanation what-so-ever''. It's so much of one that Linkara completely goes insane from it.]]
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:[[invoked]]
** Linkara was shocked and confused when Troy suddenly screams and goes [[BattleAura Super Saiyan]], before [[PercussiveMaintenance "I am a man!" punching]] Robo Knight's programming back to normal.[[note]]Troy was originally supposed to be TheChosenOne and a living conduit for the morphing grid, but that was completely cut out[[/note]]
** [[invoked]]Also, [[spoiler:when Robo Knight comes right out of nowhere during the finale, even though he was destroyed in a previous episode. He just magically appears without any explanation or foreshadowing, and then disappears again with only Troy noticing he was there (and not commenting on the sudden resurrection).]] This comes so out of left field that it leads Linkara to suffer a CreatorBreakdown for a few minutes.
* CallBack:
** Has some fun with his own callbacks while watching the finale. He's thrilled when he sees [[invoked]][[MemeticBadass Carter Grayson]], saying that all they need to do is give him two guns and a water bottle and he'll single-handedly have this whole alien invasion thing cleaned up in no time. Then he sees Karone and jokes about how she used to be Astronema and asks her if she remembers when she attempted this same plan back in ''In Space''... except, y'know, it being much better when she did it.
** Points out that the super mutants are entirely plausible since the existence of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back in ''In Space'' shows that mutation of creatures ''is'' not only plausible but has happened before in the Power Rangers universe.
* CharacterDerailment:[[invoked]]
** Linkara goes on a short rant about the 'bizarre form of laziness' of the season when the show manages to do this ''in the first episode!'' Emma, the Pink Ranger, joked about not wanting to join the team because the helmet messes up her hair, a CallBack to Kimberly from ''Mighty Morphin''... the problem being, Kimberly was a ValleyGirl so it made sense when she said it, while Emma is a [[PassionateSportsGirl BMX-biker]] [[GranolaGirl nature lover]] who in a previous scene was wearing a bicycle helmet, so it didn't make any sense coming from her.
** Also expressed disappointment they didn't stick with the whole "prideful to the point of refusing to accept loss" thing they had going for Prince Vekar during his debut, quickly derailing him into a prissy whiner by his second episode and staying with that characterization from that point on.
* CreatorsApathy: He considers "laziness" to be the main theme of the season, with how little effort was put into making it. This is later expanded to "a bizarre form of laziness" where the creators care about innocuous details but overlook huge plot holes.[[invoked]]
** He brings up the infamous usage of the Megazord's Japanese name on the power card featuring it, as well as the usage of the ''Samurai'' theme instead of the ''Megaforce'' theme when the Rangers destroy a monster. For the former, he doesn't really care since it's only a brief glimpse of it anyway and would be a pain to digitally correct every episode. For the latter, he's absolutely livid.
** The season not only constantly uses footage of Sentai-only teams, but the teams are never explained where those powers come from. They also name the teams inconsistently when morphing into them in different episodes. This even though in scenes where the Rangers each morph into a member of a different team, if one of them was in a Sentai-only costume originally it was often digitally edited to be a Ranger from an English season. He also points out that if they ''had'' to keep them in, the franchise provided plenty of opportunities to turn it into WorldBuilding they could have easily used but didn't.
** The Rangers get no significant backstory or development, nor does Gosei. He notes the actors had ''asked'' for more character-focused episodes, but were ignored.
** The ''Wild Force'' tribute episode has Gosei send them to the Anamarium to find the Red Lion Wild Zord. Not only does Gosei erroneously refer to the floating island as Anamaria (the name of the kingdom the island was part of, not the island itself), but he mispronounces it. The episode also has Noah, the ''Blue'' Ranger, sense the ''Red'' Lion's presence, and despite Cole's actor being in ''Samurai'', they don't call him back for a cameo in this episode.
** He considers the ''RPM'' tribute episode "In the Driver's Seat" to be the laziest tribute episode for multiple reasons. For one thing, Corinth doesn't look anything like what it did in ''RPM'', as the episode just rehashes Sentai footage from ''Go-Onger'' (which took place in a machine world, rather than a post-apocalyptic Earth). None of the Rangers or other characters from ''RPM'' make an appearance, except for Professor Cog. No explanation is given for why Cog is back despite being destroyed in last season's team-up episode. Linkara also points out that this episode would have been a perfect opportunity for the Rangers to reflect on how their Earth could suffer the same fate as the ''RPM'' Earth if they failed to defeat the Armada, and for Orion to appreciate how a devastated civilization has managed to find the strength to rebuild - but instead, the Rangers spend all their time in their Sky Ship chasing after and yelling (through a megaphone no less) at the Turbo Falcon Zord (which Linkara points out isn't doing anything wrong except speeding down a racetrack).
** One episode is titled "Vrak is Back", except that Vrak is pronounced to rhyme with "frock", not "back". Did the writers just forget how to pronounce the name of one of the main antagonists?
** How all the past Rangers take part in the Legendary Battle when many of them don't have their powers anymore. And if these past Rangers ''do'' still have their powers and are all around the city in time to take part in the battle, why didn't any of them help before now?
*** He also notes the creators at least try to play with the editing to avoid showing Tommy's other morphed forms since he's here as the Green Ranger, but they ignore that the ''Turbo'' and ''In Space'' teams shared members too and show the two teams together in multiple shots.
*** The return of only a handful of former Rangers' actors; apparently the invitations to appear in the episode were only sent out a month before filming. He questions how that's possible when it's obvious the creators knew they would be doing the Legendary Battle right from the start of the season and would have had several months to organize more actors taking part.
*** Also during the Legendary Battle, footage of the Alien and Ninja Storm Rangers (sans their Red Rangers) is dubbed over with {{Kiai}} from Tommy; the editors couldn't tell that none of the nine Rangers present were Tommy.
* CreatorBreakdown: [[invoked]]His attempts at reviewing the seasons get progressively more heated and in-depth, and he admits by the halfway point that he kind of lost track of reviewing anything specific about the show and it dissolved into a long rant about everything it did wrong on a fundamental level (no character development, no consistent villains, fight scenes replace actual story). One moment in the climactic battle ([[spoiler:Robo Knight returning to the fight despite being destroyed previously and being given no explanation for his return]]) cuts to video of him losing his mind and going off to laugh maniacally while randomly firing a gun, blowing off steam before collecting himself and finishing the review through gritted teeth.
* DullSurprise: While none of the acting was really all that good (except for Gia), Linkara singles out Troy, the Red Ranger (Andrew Gray), as being exceptionally wooden and unable to emote his lines. Sometimes when Troy and Robo Knight share a scene, Linkara will even jokingly challenge the audience to guess which of the two is actually the robot! In his wrap-up at the end, he actually spends a couple of minutes specifically on just how little Troy emotes, being the only time in the entire HOPR series where his criticism of the performance includes a monologue with editing clips together.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[invoked]] He points out in frustration that he has little regard for anyone in the season beyond isolated moments, but does admit to having a couple of soft spots. Gia was [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct well-acted]] and had a much more distinctive personality beyond the most obvious. And Vrak in ''Super Megaforce'' had the only plan against the Rangers that was even marginally interesting and achieved a pseudo-victory with actual tension.
* ExecutiveMeddling:[[invoked]]
** In his ''Dino Charge'' review, he goes on a tangent that an interview from writer James W. Bates confirmed his suspicions from the previous reviews that Jonathan Tzachor was uninterested in letting the writers give the characters story arcs, or any connections to other seasons despite ''Megaforce'' being a 20th anniversary season because in his mind it was "too boring". However, Haim Saban had other ideas for the show, and Tzachor was fired and replaced with Judd Lynn for ''Dino Charge'' (even though there's no official reason, Linkara strongly believes that to be the case). Bates [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere even left]] after ''Super Megaforce'' started because he got frustrated from not giving the characters any development.
** Of course, the "twenty episodes per season" mandate of Nickelodeon also played a role here as it did in Samurai, though to a lesser extent.
** Another one revealed in the same interview was that the production staff wanted to get to ''Gokaiger'' immediately for the anniversary and skip over ''Goseiger'', but their contract with Toei at the time prohibited them from skipping over a Sentai.
* FanBoy: Notes during his rant regarding the Sentai-only teams showing up despite ''not being Power Rangers'' that one of the reasons he heard for their inclusion was that Jonathan Tzachor was a Sentai fanboy and refused to have any footage altered to keep it the same as the Sentai. He also states that if this is truly the case, then that makes the inclusion of the Sentai-only teams ''even worse''.
* {{Fanservice}}: Similarly to his review of the episode "Once A Ranger", Linkara explains how the 20th Anniversary season ''Super Megaforce'' does fan service wrong, as instead of celebrating the history of ''Power Rangers'', it just throws random [[CallBack Call Backs]] and [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]] at the audience as if to say "Hey! This existed!"
* FanWank:[[invoked]] There's a fair bit more of Linkara's own personal theories and spins on unexplained facts here... but he explains that's only because this season gives so little explanation he ''has'' to make up his own to try and make any sense of it. A rather notable theory comes from the "Legendary Wars" finale in which he conjectures that the returning Rangers weren't actually the real Rangers, but instead, physical manifestations of the powers... although he does admit the whole [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Karone/Astronema]] "I love being a Power Ranger" line throws a wrench into that idea.
* FlatCharacter: Notes that except for Vrak and Robo Knight, no one really changes or has an arc. Though he does admit the Rangers' default personalities, while they don't change, ''still'' make them more likable than the ''Overdrive'' team and consequently he doesn't consider ''Megaforce'' as bad.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers:
** Linkara grows increasingly annoyed when the Rangers are shown walking or running everywhere (even showing up late to fights) because they forgot they could just teleport in the first few episodes.
** When the season changes into ''Super Megaforce'' the Rangers forget all about the weapons and powers they obtained in the first half of the series, despite all of them being available and intact. This in particular annoyed Linkara since there were multiple openings to destroy the powers and actually justify the swap to the new powers.
** One episode had the bad guys stating with their MakeMyMonsterGrow technology they could enlarge multiple enemies at a time instead of having to resort to only using one. This never gets used again after the single aforementioned episode.
* {{Frankenslation}}: This is the first season since ''Mighty Morphin'' to integrate two different Super Sentai series. What was done differently was ''Mighty Morphin'' utilized ''Zyuranger'' costumes as the primary outfits for the first three seasons and used the mecha footage of the two other series to flesh out the story (which required American-made footage with them still in ''Zyuranger'' outfits). Megaforce used ''Goseiger'' for the first 20-episode season and then blended ''Goseiger'' and ''Gokaiger'', the big anniversary season where they switch costumes constantly, for the second season by using ''Goseiger'' suits as the base costume and then upgraded to ''Gokaiger'' just to upgrade to all the other costumes. Also, the season used StockFootage of the Super Sentai anniversary paying homage to past shows that were never made into ''Power Rangers'' series (pre-1992). It made for quite a headache in trying to juggle all these costume changes. Linkara suggested it would have been easier to keep the ''Goseiger'' outfits as they already had a "mystical card" system in play with their motif, which would be easy to modify to include new Ranger powers, rather than complicating it all by switching to ''Gokaiger'' just to use a separate device altogether. That, or just destroy the ''Goseiger'' powers altogether and make a clean switch to the ''Gokaiger'' powers, to avoid the need for switching between the costumes at all.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: In the third instance of Lewis being on camera for this, this is his reaction to [[spoiler: Robo Knight's unexplained return in the Legendary Battle]], going from LaughingMad and firing a gun to screaming.
* GranolaGirl: He states that Emma is a really obnoxious version of this since ''she won't shut the hell up'' about the environment and seems "vapid to the point of airhead status."
* GrowingTheBeard[[invoked]]: Discussed. He states that since the days when the original ''MMPR'' was on the air, children's television has become a lot more sophisticated and ambitious, tackling more mature themes, creating more complex characters, and striving to create legitimately emotional and heartwarming moments. This includes ''Power Rangers'' itself, which since then has had more substantial stories and characters compared to the often bland and goofy writing from ''MMPR''. He cites this as one of the big problems with both ''Megaforce'' seasons, which mostly focus on spectacle and having as many action scenes as possible in place of actual depth or compelling storytelling, meaning it can't compete with shows like ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' or ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', which have a lot more to offer.
* HandWave: This season was wrought with them, with every time this happened in the first two parts he'd insert Vrak's "Far too complex for you to understand", and from Part 3 onward Gosei's 'There's a simple explanation for that ..."
* InformedAttribute:
** Gosei stated that he awakens when the Earth is in grave peril. Linkara is very quick to bring up the many, many, many, '''''many''''' times the Earth has been in grave peril in past seasons, yet Gosei did nothing.
** He notes that Gia stated that Emma always knows what makes others happy, but then she immediately ignores people's discomfort to take photos. In fact, her imagining a world without humans while smiling makes her come across as a sociopath who wants to wipe out humanity in his eyes.
** Troy was stated to have overcome great adversity, but it's never seen on-screen nor talked about. Linkara brings up that we did learn about his hardship only through external interviews.
** In general, the whole show's supposed theme of "Humanity can achieve anything if they work together" can be seen as this. Linkara points out that during the entirety of both seasons, it's the Rangers who are doing all the fighting, while the civilians just hide. We see no real evidence of humanity actually coming together to resist the alien invasion.
** Linkara calls bullcrap on Damaras' status as "the most powerful warrior in the universe" seeing as 1.) there was no build-up to it, 2.) he's a servant to Emperor Marvro and not the emperor himself, and 3.) in the very episode he's referred to like this, he's killed by the rangers.
* InformedFlaw: Noah had an episode where his flaw was supposed to be that he didn't have a sense of humor, but the "humor" in the episode was so bad that Linkara couldn't help but sympathize with him.
* ItsTheSameSoItSucks[[invoked]]: Subverted. While he acknowledges that people hate the ''Megaforce'' theme for being almost identical to the ''Samurai'' theme, he doesn't mind since he's an admitted sucker for the "Go-Go, Power Rangers" theme and feels that if they're making a cheap knock-off of a song, at least it's a knock-off of a good song. He also notes that given that this is the 20th anniversary, it actually makes sense to use a remix of the original ''Mighty Morphin''' theme since harkening back to the era and history of the franchise is all the more important here.
* LaughingMad: As mentioned above, his reaction to [[spoiler: Robo Knight's UnexplainedRecovery]] involves insane laughter, as he goes for a gun and unloads a magazine before devolving into screaming.
* MerchandiseDriven:
** He had already mentioned the show was pushing this in ''Samurai'', but Linkara goes as far as to scold the makers of this season for going too far in ''Megaforce'', marketing too many toys for any kid watching the show to ever actually be able to afford.
** He also mentions how the marketing department seemed to do a better job with handling the anniversary aspect of the season, including the Legacy Collection, individual Ranger Keys, including one for the American-exclusive Titanium Ranger, and items that were exclusive to certain events.
* MisBlamed[[invoked]]: Discussed. He states that, though in his ''Dino Charge'' video, he acknowledged that he heard that Tzachor was at fault for vetoing any character development in favor of just copying the Sentai, as well as flying in multiple celebrity actors and doing barely anything with them, in the end it's hard to pin the blame on a single person or group of people, and you can't really blame one person for all the problems ''Megaforce'' had.
* {{Narm}}:[[invoked]]
** ''Power Rangers'' has its own sense of silliness, but he comments that Andrew Gray as Troy never seems particularly invested, making silly dialogue sound worse and what should be epic, intense moments into boring action. His strange, awkward, unmorphed "[[Anime/DragonballZ Super Saiyan]]" power-up punch when fighting Robo Knight is the highlight.
** To a lesser extent, he points out that since many of the power-ups will slap "mega" or (starting in the second season) "super mega" on the names, it comes off as something you'd expect from a '''parody''' of Power Rangers.
** Points out that the plot of episode 17[[note]]said episode has Metal Alice disrupt travel by blowing up a bridge that trains travel on[[/note]] loses all impact because trains don't have as much of a presence in the US as in Japan[[note]]he notes that while it's never explicitly stated where ''Megaforce'' takes place, we can assume it takes place in the US - and the second part of ''Silver Lining'' from ''Super Megaforce'', it's implied that [[RunningGag City Town]] is in Southern California[[/note]]. He points out that not only is the episode the worst of the first season, but the plot doesn't even last until the end of the episode. As he had noted earlier, there was ''no reason'' why they had to adapt this episode in the long run[[note]]while the episode ''did'' introduce a new Megazord, the Gosei Jet Megazord, this was the only episode said Megazord appeared in; it was not used at all for the rest of the series - this was because its ''Goseiger'' counterpart only appeared in TheMovie and 1 episode[[/note]].
* PowerupLetdown:
** A minor gripe, as although Linkara didn't actually mind the pirate-themed ''Super Megaforce'' costumes (despite the season not being pirate-themed), he did think that aesthetically they were less grand and interesting than the previous ''Megaforce'' suits (which were based on angels in ''Goseiger''). He also said the switch in fighting style from martial arts to over-reliance on weapons actually made the ''Super Megaforce'' Rangers seem weaker than they previously were. He even states that it seems like it should've been the other way around, with the ''Megaforce'' suits being the pirate-themed ones and the ''Super Megaforce'' ones being the angel-themed ones.
** The combination of the Q-Rex and Legendary Megazord, which is not so much the Megazords combining as it is just the Legendary Megazord replacing its arms with the Q-Rex's, as opposed to other times where the [[SixthRanger Sixth Ranger's]] Zord actually, you know, ''combined'' with the main team's Megazord.
* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: In a CallBack to ''Mighty Morphin''', Gosei requests Tensou bring teenagers with attitude. While he does ask for "energetic and unstoppable" humans, which Linkara admits is a much better description than "overbearing and overemotional", he asks if Gosei has actually met teenagers, as "energetic" is not what he would use to describe "the demographic that's forced to get up at 6 in the morning after multiple hours of homework and the regular stresses of puberty".
* RecycledScript:[[invoked]] Mentions several times over that he considers the finale of ''Super Megaforce'' as a blatant rip-off of "Countdown to Destruction" from ''In Space'', only with everything done wrong. He introduces the finale as "Countdown to Destruction: the Lame Version", tells [=TJ=] and Cassie that it's their finale ''Super Megaforce'' is ripping off, and when Karone appears he asks her if she remembers when she tried the same plan in ''In Space''... only it was much better when she did it.
* RevisitingTheRoots: Like with ''Samurai'', he calls this out on being a bad thing since it's pretty much regressing rather than evolving as a good show should. At the time he finished the ''Megaforce'' videos, he stated that this is the main problem of the "Neo-Saban Era" as a whole; children's tv has evolved to the point where they can bring forth a great deal of depth, emotion, and complex story-telling, all of which didn't really exist during the original ''Mighty Morphin''' series. ''Samurai'' and ''Megaforce'' completely lack these aspects and the most morally complex or sophisticated they get amounts to is standard good vs. evil with a MonsterOfTheWeek formula, and they simply can't compete with modern children's television as a result.
* RunningGag:
** A clip of Vrak saying "Far too complex for you to understand" in Parts 1 and 2 whenever there are serious questions about something which go unanswered by the show. Replaced by Gosei's notorious 'There's a simple explanation for that...' from Part 3 onwards.
** Referring to the Megaforce Rangers' nameless hometown as "City Town"[[note]]he does acknowledge the actual name of the hometown, Harwood County, but notes that it sounds like really poor naming[[/note]].
** Replacing any of the Ranger's battle speeches into just a generic "Never give up, never surrender!" since Linkara says that's basically all whatever they say translates to anyway.
* SeasonalRot: Aside from ''Operation Overdrive'', Linkara considers this to be one of the worst seasons the series has ever produced due to poor acting, no character development from anyone, and just how insulting it is as a 20th anniversary season that after so much build-up and hype they put zero effort into the production.[[invoked]]
* SequelEscalation: The video review itself. Prior reviews topped out at around 2 hours or less for the entire season. Megaforce is around ''3 hours''. This is in large part due to having to analyze so much of the structural problems and how it permeates the entirety of both seasons, talking about the use of Super Sentai footage to the use of ''non-Power Rangers'' Super Sentai footage to filming new footage ''with'' non-''Power Rangers'' Super Sentai costumes, speculating about unexplained plot points, speculating about the [[invoked]]TroubledProduction, offering better alternatives to what we got and including retrospectives on how prior seasons knew how to do it right. This is on top of being something of a GrandFinale for HOPR, as while he plans on reviewing ''Dino Charge'', this is the first time he can be considered "caught up" with all ''Power Rangers'' seasons.
* ShallowParody: [[invoked]] His ultimate judgment of the season is that it doesn't celebrate the franchise, but is an unintentional mockery of it because it doesn't understand what came before. As cheesy as the original ''Mighty Morphin''' was, it had character and story growth, it understood how to create tension and fear of its villains, and it treated new powers and zords with reverence and importance, and the franchise only got better written as the years went on. ''Megaforce'' on the other hand has shallow characters, no consistent story, its villains are jokes who never pose a serious threat, and Gosei gives the team power-ups just because he felt like it.
* SixthRanger: Stated the fact that despite the series officially recognizing Robo Knight as an official sixth ranger, in his mind, he shouldn't fit (like the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Blue Senturion]] and [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Magna Defender]], as he doesn't wear a spandex suit, nor does he have "Ranger" in his name). He is also confused that the White Dino Thunder Ranger is considered a sixth ranger (since he was the 5th member of the team, not the 6th), and the Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger was not (and just for clarification, Linkara does not care what ''Gokaiger'' stated for their definitions of sixth rangers).
* SoOkayItsAverage: {{Invoked|Trope}} but ultimately {{averted|Trope}}. Under normal circumstances, while ''Megaforce'' as a whole just wasn't very good, Linkara says it really is just weirdly lazy and poorly produced, just a really average season overall. However, because this season was advertised so heavily as the 20th year milestone celebration for Power Rangers, and the fact that it fell so very short of actually celebrating it, it crosses the line from just kinda okay to be one of the worst seasons Power Rangers has to offer (although he still thinks ''Overdrive'' is worse).
* StockFootage: Because each mini-season of ''Megaforce'' had its own full season of a Super Sentai to pull footage from (''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger'' and ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger''), there was an influx of Super Sentai footage, with Linkara feeling like the makers of the show felt like they ''had'' to cram as much Super Sentai stock footage as possible into every episode. Linkara says some episodes honestly felt like 90% Super Sentai footage with only 10% original footage, which just ended up being incredibly boring.
* StockFootageFailure: [[invoked]] Mentions that for some reason, the cards that the Rangers use to summon their zords keep their ''Goseiger'' names, but says it doesn't bother him (but it did bother a lot of other people), since he'd rather have them focus on the writing than on fixing something as minor as that[[note]]he even states that if kids do get curious than that desire could cause them to learn about where the names are from[[/note]].
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:[[invoked]] Probably the first season Lewis has claimed to have almost ''every'' character on the show lack any sort of arc and development. As such, all were a waste, from the Rangers themselves, to the villains, to even the comedic side characters. In fact, the only characters in the entire show he thought had at least some decent development were Vrak and Robo Knight. That being said, he did feel the show's transition from Megaforce to Super Megaforce wasted Robo Knight's character development, and that he would have been much better suited to become the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger as opposed to introducing some new humanoid alien to take the role (especially since character development was already too thin to try to introduce a new character into the mix).
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:[[invoked]] The coda of the entire review; despite this being the 20th-anniversary celebratory season of Power Rangers, there wasn't much thought or planning put into it, resulting in loads of wasted potential.
** Points out multiple incredibly easy ways they could have called back to old seasons with minor lines of dialogue... and just didn't.
** The changeover in powers occurs for no reason when it would have been easy to write in their original powers being destroyed at the end of the first half of the season. After all, that was usually how ''Mighty Morphin''' handled power changes, and it would have served to highlight the danger the Armada posed. On the other hand, why include the ''Gokaiger'' powers at all? The Gosei morphers already have Rangers sliding cards into them to morph, so why not have them morph straight from the ''Goseiger'' suits into the Legendary Ranger modes by having them use cards of the powers, instead of morphing from ''Goseiger'' to ''Gokaiger'' and then using a secondary morpher to activate the Legendary Ranger modes?
** While he dislikes the show using suits from ''Super Sentai'' seasons that weren't adapted into ''Power Rangers'' seasons, if there was no way to get around using those suits, they could have built some backstory from it. They could have explained that these powers were used by Rangers from before the ''Mighty Morphin''' era, or by Rangers from another planet -- both are things established to have been done, after all. Or maybe there was a Ranger team whose exploits were lost to history, or they could have met a representative of another Ranger team who gave them the powers. When Orion joins the team, he particularly mentions they could have written that the unexplained powers were from Ranger teams once based on Andresia, and Orion brings the powers with him when he comes to Earth.
** While "Ernie's Juice Bar" is a place again[[note]]rebranded as "Ernie's Brain Freeze", a frozen yogurt store[[/note]], it's an entirely different character and an entirely different location. They couldn't get Lieutenant Stone or Bulk back to own the juice bar[[note]]he points out that it's especially bizarre that they couldn't get Bulk back, since not only was Bulk's actor still involved with Power Rangers, but ''Bulk was part of the cast of'' ''Samurai''[[/note]]? Likewise, why couldn't the season have been set in Angel Grove, instead of the nearly unnamed town it is in? There could be a Power Rangers museum, monuments to the past teams, adults who grew up knowing the Rangers.
** The Q-Rex Drill is vaguely stated to have been based on the Q-Rex from ''Time Force''. However, it bears more similarities to the original Dragonzord, so why couldn't it have been rebuilt from that Zord, or the Dragonzord be modified into the Q-Rex? It was never destroyed like so many zords were, it's still sleeping in the ocean last we saw.
** He constantly speculates on plans the showrunners had that they later abandoned, because a lot of plot points seem like they're going in one direction, and then don't. These include killing off Vrak at the end of the first season, extending the tenure of the insectoid villains to last the full season, and destroying the Rangers' powers at the end of the first season. In the next installment, [[invoked]][[IKnewIt he reveals that some of his suggestions]] ''[[IKnewIt were]]'' [[IKnewIt ideas that the writers wanted to pursue]], but [[ExecutiveMeddling Jonathan Tzachor shot down]][[note]]for example, he suggested replacing Mr. Burley with a ranger alumni...and that was the idea that James Bates originally had, wanting David Yost to reprise his role of Billy and act as a mentor to Noah; while David Yost turned down the opportunity due to how he felt about the circumstances regarding his departure from the show, that had likely Tzachor not shot the idea down, another ranger alumni would've taken his place[[/note]].
** Most of the Legendary Ranger highlight episodes were pretty bad, normally lacking any of the original actors from the actual seasons they were putting in the limelight. Special mentioned goes to the ''Samurai'' episode; apparently, the original Super Sentai also had an episode dedicated to ''Shinkenger'', which not only [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse resolved whatever happened to the last remaining Nighlok, Octoroo]], but also only featured Sentai Rangers that were featured in Power Rangers, yet the producers still threw that out to make their own footage. Linkara is baffled since the Super Sentai practically gift-wrapped the episode for them. [[note]] This was actually footage from ''Goseiger vs Shinkenger'' and the ''Timeranger'' tribute episode (which Linkara acknowledges in the reuploaded Youtube version of Part 4). However, the footage could have still been worked into the ''Super Megaforce'' episode. [[/note]]
** Gosei being mentored by Zordon, or the one-off line about him being "of the earth" and that the giant tiki head not being his true form, all go nowhere.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Like with ''Overdrive'', Linkara had made no effort to hide his feelings towards Power Rangers' embarrassing anniversary season. Tweets made before the video's release also indicate this. Both seasons were split into five videos (''RPM'' & ''Samurai'' had four), the script was 43 pages (Samurai was 31), and the audio recording was around three hours long.
* TroubledProduction:[[invoked]] He admits it's mostly [[FanWank speculation on his part]], but Linkara looks at the final product and although they had ''three years'' to prepare for this anniversary season (ever since Saban had reclaimed the rights to ''Power Rangers''), the final product just seemed very haphazard. This is also part of why he's much harder on ''Megaforce'' than he is with ''Samurai'', since with ''Samurai'', it was an uphill battle what with Saban having been out of the game for so long, the season being rushed to meet deadlines, as well as the "twenty episodes per season" mandate that Nickelodeon has. With ''Megaforce'', there's much less leeway due to having had ''far'' more prep time and the fact that this was supposed to be a celebration of the past twenty years of the franchise. To note:
** He guesses on multiple scenarios that resulted from this, feeling like the producers either had no intention of using the ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger'' footage but were forced to by contract, that they actually had no intention of using the ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' footage this season but felt pressured to due to the anniversary, and/or never planned on using the ''Legendary Wars'' at all, since so often plots and storylines seemed created at the last minute or would suddenly change with absolutely no set-up beforehand (the transition from the insectoid villains from ''Megaforce'' to the machine space armada in ''Super Megaforce'' in particular feeling forced and disjointed).
** Editing seemed to go back and forth on whether they wanted to include pre-''Power Rangers'' ''Super Sentai'' costumes that appear. In one episode they carefully replace one costume with another via editing and green screen, and in another, they are just running around with costumes that had no PR counterpart.
** He mentions that he had heard secondhand that the actors in this season more than once begged the writers for more CharacterDevelopment-focused episodes, but were often ignored, leading to the overall {{Flat Character}}s we got.[[note]]Gia and Orion's actors later confirmed this in an interview.[[/note]]
** His biggest evidence for this is that Jonathan Tzachor left after this season, with cited "budget issues" and reports of him being overly slavish to the Super Sentai at the expense of the production leads Linkara to guess he was actually fired.
* TwoTeacherSchool: Introduces Mr. Burley as the only teacher in the ''entire city''. Later brings it up again when one of the students asks where Mr. Burley is while the school is being rebuilt... and there is no mention of any other teachers or faculty members.
-->'''Linkara:''' Is there really only ''one'' teacher in this entire school? ''Criminy'', not even Angel Grove High had it that bad.
* ValuesDissonance:[[invoked]] Points out that the episode where the villains hijack a train to sabotage the humans' method of transportation is an example of this. In Japan, trains actually are a very major source of transportation for everyone, so in ''Goseiger'' this actually was a great plan. In the United States, however, trains are primarily a major transport for industrial needs. While trains ''are'' used by people to get around, it's ''far'' less common than in Japan, and even the Rangers (when they hear the villain say they are going to sabotage human transportation) head to the airports first. In the end, all 'hijacking the train' does is annoy a handful of people due to making them late, and the villains themselves abandon the scheme midway through the episode due to how pointless they realize it is.
* WhatAnIdiot:[[invoked]]
** Lewis dubs ''Megaforce''!Ernie "The Second Dumbest Person in ''Power Rangers''" for failing to recognize [[spoiler: an unmasked but blindfolded Troy.]]
** He also rolls his eyes at Troy who, when the team is faced with a monster that can use HollywoodMagnetism to steal their weapons, refuses to let anyone try and work out a strategy against it beyond his own "plan" of "Power Rangers never drop their weapons, we just won't drop our weapons next time".
** Not even the 'Legendary Rangers' are beyond this, with Linkara pointing out how several of them could reclaim their powers at any time or already have them, but just blindly trust in the new Rangers and don't lift a finger to actually help until the very end (to add salt to the wound, Linkara points out that they joined in against an army of {{Mooks}}, which the Megaforce Rangers should have been able to handle on their own, anyway).
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Points out that during the finale, Gosei and Tensou just disappear without any explanation, after one final communication partway through the episode.
* WrittenByCastMember[[invoked]]: Linkara points out that Jason Smith, who played Casey in ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'', is one of the writers of ''Super Megaforce''. [[note]]He wrote the episode ''Samurai Surprise'' which Linkara considers to be a bad episode, but will not hold that against him.[[/note]] Linkara speculates that this is probably the only reason why the episode ''Spirit of the Tiger'' even happened, but he is glad that ''Jungle Fury'' is being acknowledged as part of the series' continuity.
* WTHCostumingDepartment[[invoked]]: He considers Orion's power up to be "the most butt-ugly power-up in the world" because it just consists of an armored vest with the faces of various SixthRanger helmets on it making it seem more like ''Power Rangers'' merchandise than anything to wear into a battle.
* WorldBuilding: While he isn't a fan of the ''Sentai''-only teams being used, Linkara points out that if they ''had'' to be used, they could have easily used them to provide this by having them be alien Ranger teams or past Ranger teams, both of which were already established to exist in canon.
* JustForFun/XMeetsY:[[invoked]] Describes [[RobotBuddy Tensou]] as a cross between WesternAnimation/WallE and [[Film/ShortCircuit Johnny 5]] with the voice of [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 Orko]].

[[folder:''Power Rangers Dino Charge'']]
* AlmostKiss: Linkara got pretty miffed that Koda interrupted Tyler and Shelby's kiss.
-->'''Linkara''': Koda, you cockblocker. We could have had the first proper kiss in this franchise, in twenty friggin years!
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]]
** He theorizes that Lord Arcanon was a relatively small fry who came into some power but eventually got in over his head, as he seems fearful and tries to bargain with Sledge for his life in the end.
** Linkara believes that Kendall has an elitist attitude at the beginning of the season, as shown with her hostility to Shelby, also believing (in a joking manner) that she's jealous that a waitress became a Power Ranger.
** Linkara also believes that Tyler's excitement and adventurous personality are in part due to his dad's disappearance, and wanting to live life to its fullest.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Is confused by the concept of a Christmas-themed monster existing on Sledge's ship from millions of years ago; as in said monster existing in a time long before Jesus Christ was born. He expresses this again in the ''Ninja Steel'' review when Koda invites the titular rangers to spent Christmas in the Stone Age with cavepeople.[[note]]Perhaps Koda introduced the idea to his people after his experiences in the modern-day?[[/note]]
* AuthorsSavingThrow: [[invoked]]Feels that ''Dino Charge'' is a direct counter to all the problems of ''Megaforce''; likable characters that get time to shine and develop, interesting villains in reasonable numbers with unique personalities and designs from each other, the mentor actually being someone who helps and advises the team, and new zords and power-ups are given in natural flow with the developing story.
* BigBadWannabe: Theorizes that Lord Arcanon is actually this.
* CallBack:
** The [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 "That is not a plan!"]] clip shows up for the third consecutive time in the reviews of the Neo-Saban era. Linkara even notes how strange it is that he's able to keep using it.
** About Kruger in his ''SPD'' review, he asks how a bird-human like Xenowing can fit into a ranger costume.
* CoolVsAwesome: How he views the best lead villains. Sledge is good, but Heckyl is a delight!
* TheEndOrIsIt:
** He talks about ''Dino Charge'', saying that it was a pretty good season although at 22 episodes it was pretty short... [[TheStinger and then comes the Snide stinger]].
** Notes that the finale ''isn't'' actually the final episode of the show, but rather the second Christmas episode, ''Here Comes Heximas''.
* FlatCharacter: Laced with GenericDoomsdayVillain. These are his final thoughts on Arcanon, and he was glad that he wasn't around for very long because of it.
* FridgeLogic:[[invoked]] Struggles to wrap his head around Heximas, a villain from 65 million years in the past who happens to be based on the traditions of modern Christmas, let alone that he's based on a holiday for an entity who wasn't even born yet by millions of years!
* GutturalGrowler: Notes that Sledge has the gravelly villain voice that he typically finds generic, but feels that it works for Sledge given that he's not a supreme overlord, but a thug with too much power on his hands.
* HaHaHaNo: Linkara's reaction to [[spoiler:Keeper declaring order is restored after the Rangers stop Sledge's plans from the start of the series.]]
* HilariousInHindsight: [[invoked]] Linkara notes that after all of the jokes he made about Serpentera running on AAA batteries, there is actually a Zord (the Dino Charge Ptera Zord when it was under Fury's control) that suffers a similar problem.
* HurricaneOfPuns: He uses soundbites from [[Film/BatmanAndRobin Mr. Freeze]] anytime Iceage crops up.
* JekyllAndHyde: He finds several interesting things about the Heckyl/Snide dynamic. Not only do they have 2 different ways of doing evil, but Snide's aggressiveness gives Heckyl's acting an extra psychotic edge.
* LighterAndSofter: Compared to ''Megaforce'', Linkara doesn't have an angry vibe in this review (except for the first 5 minutes, and even then it's directed at ''Megaforce'' rather than ''Dino Charge''), and feels more relaxed. Also, the review only contains two parts compared to ''Megaforce'''s five.
* TheLoad: Subverted. While he points out that the Keeper wasn't a particularly good fighter, he could still fight, so he never came across like this.
* MindScrew: Declares the finale will "make your head explode if you give it any amount of thought". He then spends several minutes discussing how liberally the TimeyWimeyBall is tossed around, including SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong being pulled on multiple events in history even though some of those "Wrongs" caused other ones, so the Rangers go back to change events that shouldn't even have happened because of ''other'' events they changed. Also, ya know, the whole idea that [[spoiler:the dinosaurs didn't go extinct and are still alive in modern times.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:The Rangers destroy the Dark Energem! Hooray! Then it creates a black hole and sucks the Earth in, wiping out ''the entire human race.'' Oops.]]
-->'''Linkara''': Good work, guys, I was worried about [[spoiler:the gravitational stresses before, but holy crap, you made it a billion times worse!]]
* OfficialCouple: He notes that despite Tyler and Shelby being a couple, the show does not actively mention it, not even in the finale when it is so blatantly obvious.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The first five minutes are basically one long one to ''Megaforce/Super Megaforce'', or to be more precise it's directed towards Jonathan Tzachor whose handling of that season and ''Samurai'' were the key reason for their lack in quality.
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: [[invoked]] Linkara believes that Dino Charge is the answer to what Megaforce failed in, and is pretty happy that after two mediocre to terrible seasons, he reviews a season that while not groundbreaking, improves on the problems and fixes them (minus the finale of course).
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: [[invoked]]
** Isn't too happy that the plot about Heckyl working at the Amber Beach restaurant with the Rangers ended by the third episode of ''Dino Super Charge'', but does considers Heckyl an excellent villain, even after his HeelFaceTurn.
** Is a little disappointed that Albert didn't stick around longer, as it would have been a good dynamic for a senior Power Ranger to interact with the young adult members.
** States that he wishes that the Halloween clip show's premise was the plot of an actual episode, noting that it could've been a Power Rangers version of ''Film/TheThing1982''. However, he doesn't hate the episode, since at least they have a good premise this time around.
* TimeyWimeyBall:
** The finale, where the Rangers go back in time and stop the asteroids that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs from hitting Earth, thus returning to the present to find dinosaurs alive and kept in zoos. A major part of the season wrap-up is spent dissecting the many ways this finale basically sets fire to the entire continuity of the season and the series as a whole and bringing up FanWank theories to try and reconcile those consequences.
** Expresses confusion regarding Sledge and his crew's forced departure from Earth and then their re-arrival some 65 million years later, in just what they were all ''doing'' during that time. At the very least, Linkara states shock Sledge had not married Poisandra out of sheer boredom, if for nothing else.
* TroubledProduction: Lewis briefly brings up interviews about the behind-the-scenes of ''Samurai'' during this review that had surfaced in the interim between ''Megaforce'' and ''Dino Charge.'' that wound up proving him right on some of his suggestions (namely that the ChildSoldier aspect of the Samurai Rangers was deliberate and that Tzachor was planning on having them live isolationist lifestyles in the Shiba Manor, to the point where he was allegedly horrified at the idea of an episode where the Rangers played video games). [[invoked]]
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[invoked]] Much like with the proposal for ''Hexagon'', he mentions ''Power Rangers Cyber Corps'', the proposal Amit Bhuamik made for a ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' adaptation [[note]] It would have also retconned ''RPM'' by saying the events took place on Mirinoi, the planet featured on ''Lost Galaxy'' [[/note]]. He notes that while it would've been awesome for people who were into ContinuityPorn like him, it wasn't for the younger audience, which is who Power Rangers ultimately is for.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: When the Rangers claim to Prince Phillip that a robot doesn't have the same abilities or wisdom of a human, Linkara needles the show by noting Mack from Operation Overdrive (who ''was'' a robot and was basically indistinguishable from normal humans, not to mention was the ''Red Ranger'').
* WorldOfWeirdness: Linkara notes that due to the ''Power Rangers'' universe being one of these, he isn't sure if Shelby was lying or not with her excuse for delivering food to people who hadn't ordered yet being that she read their minds. He then uses the fact Koda has SuperStrength as an example of why he feels this way.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Ninja Steel'']]
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]]
** Linkara agrees with the general theory that Summer Cove High School isn't a public school and is more of a privately funded tech school, citing the rather expansive shop class, multiple science classes, the school's general indifference to seeing Redbot walking around and the fact that certain things like theater and the arts are kind of shoehorned in.
*** He also theorizes that, because it's a privately funded school, Preston's ultra-rich father was able to buy his son's way in, since Preston is more interested in working with magic instead of technology. The same goes with Victor and (possibly) Monty, considering neither of them is on the same academic levels as the rest of the students there.
** He wonders if Calvin may have a learning disability, given that one of his character traits is that he is forgetful. He's more at home in his job as a mechanic than in school, and he clearly isn't lazy, he just doesn't know how to apply what he can do in a classroom setting.
* AnAssKickingChristmas: ''Ninja Steel'''s two Christmas episodes are surprisingly action-packed. The first follows Sarah teaming up with Santa Claus and using TimeTravel to go to various moments in the show's run to swipe the Power Stars and use them to save her friends in the present day (a setup he likens to a Christmas-themed ''Film/AvengersEndgame''). The second has a dimension-displaced Preston teaming up with Koda and Santa Claus to defeat Sledge and rescue his team. He notes that their biggest weakness is their status as {{clip show}}s.
* TheBusCameBack: For all his problems with ''Dimensions in Danger'', Linkara does like the number of representations of returning characters from different eras (Saban, Disney, and Neo-Saban) noting some specific people such as ''Megaforce's'' Gia as she was the coolest of the original five, ''RPM's'' Gemma for getting a chance to shine on her own without Gem, ''Dino Charge's'' Koda for having at least a ranger from that season meeting the Ninja Steel Rangers, and Rocky since he never got to appear in ''Forever Red'' [[labelnote:explanation]]Steve Cardenas was approached to do Forever Red, but he was moving at the time, and when it came to starting filming, he was unreachable.[[/labelnote]].
* CallBack: With the Gold Ranger being cowboy-themed, Linkara brings us back to the Ancient Ninja Electric Guitar from ''Ninja Storm''.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Dane Romero, Brody and Weston's long-lost father, returns in the season one finale, but only appears twice in the first and last episodes of season two. Linkara jokes that he was probably getting caught up on a decades' worth of TV, but feels that had Dane been given a greater presence in the show, it could have given his sons some more meaningful character development.
* CostumePorn: Linkara absolutely delights in how wacky and over-the-top Vincent's wardrobe gets when he seeks attention and recognition. He even states that Vincent doing this in one episode makes up for any ToiletHumor he had to sit through in a prior episode.
* CriticalBacklash[[invoked]]: In the beginnings of his final thoughts, Linkara notes that he heard from fans that ''Ninja Steel'' was another bad season, but he felt it was an okay season overall, even calling it the second-best Neo-Saban season he has watched (although given that it's ahead of ''Samurai'' and ''Megaforce'', that's not much of an achievement).
* DisappearedDad / MissingMom: Five out of six Rangers are confirmed to come from single-parent households. Brody and Levi's father is missing for all of the first season and their mother is explicitly stated to be dead. Preston's mother also died at some point, and no mention is made of Hayley's mother or Sarah's father. Calvin's parents don't appear at all.
* EnsembleDarkhorse[[invoked]]:
** He takes liking to Victor Vincent as an egotistical preppie that reflects a more modern understanding of bullying and lends himself to many hilarious moments. Though this stance is weakened by his dissatisfaction with the series' fart jokes involving him and Monty.
** Kody immediately gets his love simply for being the first-ever TeamPet for a ranger team.
** The lively showman Cosmo Royale is his favorite villain in ''Ninja Steel'', considering Galvanax and Madame Odius to be bland and underdeveloped.
* FlatCharacter: Takes issue with the fact that every single one of the Rangers basically has no character or growth during the entire series. We learn things ''about'' them and there may be plots centered ''around'' them, but in general, they are just a group of goodie-goods who don't develop as individuals. He does, however, point out this makes them feel very reminiscent of the first few seasons of ''Mighty Morphin''.
* {{Foil}}: He compares Bulk and Skull to Vincent and Monty in how they differ as bullies. While Bulk and Skull were punks who went after the rangers because of how goody goody they were, Vincent is a prep-school egotist with a massive superiority complex and a nerd sidekick in Monty.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: His opinion of Galvanax, as he's yet another gravelly-voiced BigBad that doesn't really do much outside of barking orders. He thinks it would have been more interesting if Cosmo Royale, Galaxy Warrior's show host, was the real BigBad.
* HandWave: He's a little annoyed with how whenever new powers or plot elements are introduced, they are explained as being tied to the very vague "Legend of the Ninja Nexus Prism".
-->Where is this legend ''written'', exactly? Like, can we get the full text? Because I'm starting to suspect this is just a big instruction manual that someone accidentally threw out.
* HighlyVisibleNinja:
** Shows surprise that the Rangers actually have more traditional black ninja 'stealth suits' and they actually use them on some missions ... but then points out they use them during the middle of the day when they would be the most useless for stealth.
** Points out how ludicrous the "Galactic Ninjas" were since their monster suits were so big and bulky.
* HoYay: With how obsessed Monty is with Vincent, Linkara believes that he's Vincent's [[AmbiguouslyGay possible]] love interest. [[invoked]]
* InferredHolocaust[[invoked]]: He points out that the original Earth from the Dino Charge universe doesn't emerge from the wormhole alongside Sledge's ship in "Echoes of Evil". This may mean it didn't survive the dimensional transfer, and thus billions of people died.
* InformedWrongness[[invoked]]: In the final episodes, he's critical of how they handle Calvin and Hayley's break-up. The episode plays it as though Hayley is just being indignant and unreasonable with him, but Calvin demonstrates some major shortcomings in the same episode that justify Hayley's anger with him.
* InterdimensionalTravelDevice: Linkara loves the fact that the rangers are given one by Wes, as it allows for future crossovers with other ranger teams without needing to worry about taking place in another part of the timeline or another dimension.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Some FridgeLogic[[invoked]] kicks in with a line from Sarah in the first episode: "See? I told you that [the monster] wasn't just a guy in a costume!"
* TheMentor: Averted. He brings up how interesting it is that this is the first Neo-Saban season where the team doesn't have a mentor, with Mick being the closest, though he's more of an adviser.
* OfficialCouple: Linkara does like how Calvin and Hayley stay a couple throughout the season, and notes there was notable body language between the two that made it believable. Of course, he is disappointed that they do not get a proper kiss in the season aside from the occasional cheek kiss.
* PinballProtagonist: He notes that Brody has a plot arc, but his character arc leaves something to be desired. The villains arranged his reunion with the false Aidan, and meeting Levi, restoring his memories, and saving his father all happened unintentionally. Likewise, he notes that Preston suddenly developing magic powers feels random.
* PropRecycling: Linkara points out that the first two monsters shown as a Fear Cat and Venjix's first body. He also mentions how this season does this ''a lot'', particularly in crowd shots for the Game Show, but explains there is no way he will point out every reused suit since it would take too long and require too much research.[[invoked]]
* RealLifeRelative:[[invoked]] He mentions that Preston's actor, Peter Sudarso, is the younger brother to Yoshi Sudarso, who played Koda in ''Dino Charge''. He finds that bit of trivia cool as two blue rangers are technically brothers (and would explain why Koda made two appearances this season).
* SatelliteLoveInterest[[invoked]]: He finds Hayley and Calvin's relationship charming, but wishes he knew more about the two of them as individuals. Calvin can be summed up by his job as a mechanic and his absent-minded streak, while Hayley is defined by her kindness, being a dog owner, and in two episodes, we see that she enjoys acting.
* SchizoTech: The show is set ostensibly in the present day, but all sorts of strangely advanced technology show up from time to time - case in point, a seventeen-year-old has invented a hoverboard, a foodstuff-to-cookie conversion machine, and holographic clones of herself. This lends credence to the idea that Summer Cove High is actually a technical school working to teach future innovators.
* SequelHook: Absolutely adores how the show did this, with Wes giving the ''Ninja Steel'' rangers their own dimensional portal gun after the events of ''Dimensions in Danger'', pointing out it sets up not only this season's rangers having a team-up episode next season, but potentially could set up every team-up episode to come in the future without having to always come up with convoluted plot reasons or having to scrap it if two seasons are just too incompatible (such as being set in different timelines or dimensions).
* SoOkayItsAverage: How Linkara ultimately sees this season, specifically calling it "mediocre at worst, average at best." While he considers it better than ''Samurai'' and ''Megaforce'', it is leagues below ''Dino Charge'' in terms of character development, plot, and story. While ''Ninja Steel'' has some glaring flaws, he ultimately sees it as a serviceable Power Rangers season; nothing groundbreaking, but nothing truly terrible.[[invoked]]
** This also extends to ''Dimensions in Danger''. A nice serviceable episode leagues above ''Legendary Battle'' and ''Once A Ranger'', but there are a couple of flaws that keep it from being better than ''Forever Red'' or ''Reinforcements from the Future''.
* SpiritualSuccessor[[invoked]]: He makes the case that this is the season that reminds him the most of ''Mighty Morphin''. It's a cheesy comedy about a group of likable but flat high school students with little character growth, it has more {{filler}} episodes that aim to teach lessons than continue a story arc, and the supporting cast includes a RobotBuddy and a pair of comic relief bullies.
* SpotlightStealingSquad[[invoked]]: One of his biggest problems with "Dimensions in Danger" is how heavily it focuses on Tommy, at the expense of the many other Rangers assembled for the team-up.
* TeamPet: Shows an immediate love for Hayley's pet dog, Kody, for being the first animal companion for a ranger team, something that baffles him because such a companion has not happened in Power Rangers up until this point.
* TemptingFate: Part 1 ends with Linkara remarking that since season 1 of Ninja Steel ended with [[spoiler:Galvanax getting killed off]] the show will be able to restart with a brand new villain instead of an old one. Cue [[spoiler:[[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Sledge]] showing up]].
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: One of his biggest criticisms of the series is that it does not explore its many creative ideas to their fullest, like the game show aspect of the monsters, Mick's backstory, the Romero family dynamic, and what exactly ''is'' the legend of the Nexus Prism.[[invoked]]
* ToiletHumor: What really hurt Vincent and Monty's antics was the flatulence humor that was typically associated with them. He states that this is likely because the franchise's main forms of humor are snark, puns, and humiliation, with gross-out humor (like fart jokes) not being something that ''Power Rangers'' has done, so it becomes awkward when so much of it is present.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Part of his case for the "Summer Cove is a private technical school" theory is that people are generally indifferent to all sorts of fantastical sci-fi elements, like Redbot walking through the halls of the school and a TeenGenius on a hoverboard of her own design.
* WeWantOurJerkBack: When Vincent and Monty turn on Madame Odius when she planned to destroy the rangers, he was actually a little disappointed since he loves how unapologetically smug and jerkish they are.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[invoked]]
** Linkara brings up a planned plot point where Calvin and Hayley were to not only break up, but have Calvin start dating Sarah, which was shot down by their actors, stating it would not only have been a betrayal of friendships between the two, but it also would've sent a bad message to kids. Linkara only half agrees with this, as he says he has friends (most likely from [[Creator/BradJones Team Snob]]) who have openly dated more than one friend in their group.
** He also brings up the replacement of Chantz Simpson with Nico Greetham as the Yellow Ranger. While Linkara brings up the plausible theory that Chantz couldn't get a visa to work in New Zealand, he said the official reason has never been revealed.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: After watching the Rangers blast the Aiden bot without any questions, he jokes that they'd probably scrap Robo Knight on sight.
* WolverinePublicity: How Linkara feels about Tommy at this point, especially with his role in ''Dimensions in Danger''. He agrees with a good portion of the fanbase that Tommy is becoming overused in ''Power Rangers'', noting that other characters are deserving of as much attention, pointing to [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Kendrix]] as a candidate due to the fact she has, so far, been the only ranger to be killed and revived. It also doesn't help that Tommy basically hijacks the episode away from the ''actual Ninja Steel rangers'' and the rest of the returning Rangers, taking away some of his enjoyment of the team-up.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: One complaint he had is that the metal material is called Ninja Steel for no specific reason, even pointing out that if the legend of said material was explored more, then it could make more sense.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Beast Morphers'']]
* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail[[invoked]]: Linkara owns up to the fact he previously and publicly stated he never thought ''Go-Busters'' would ever have been feasible for a ''Power Rangers'' counterpart.
* AssPull[[invoked]]: Brings up the fandom's criticism that Evox [[spoiler:being Venjix]] was just fanservice in order to make an otherwise weak villain more interesting. While he doesn't disagree, Linkara does agree the twist actually does make Evox more interesting, and that he usually enjoys when Power Rangers references their own lore (as long as it has a payoff).
* CallBack:
** When discussing the nonsensical "scientific" explanations for the DNA usage in this series, the "Far too complex for you to understand" clip from the ''Megaforce'' review makes a return.
** Linkara likens Zoey's reporter mother Muriel Reeves having video of the Ranger morphing but not bothering to actually check the footage before planning on airing it to Bulk and Skull doing the exact same thing back in ''Mighty Morphin''.
** Points out the fact Jason getting another Tyrannosaurus Power Coin when he should already have his powers from ''Forever Red'', but [[HandWave hand waves it]] that maybe the powers were lost between then and now, since its happened before in other seasons with other powers.
* CannonFodder: Shows disappointment when the bad guys resurrect the Putty Patrollers and the Vivix, pointing out their terrible track records handling the Power Rangers.
* CaptainObviousReveal[[invoked]]: Calls out the second season for treating Evox being fused with Mayor Daniels as some big reveal, when the season one finale already showed the mayor's hand infected with Evox's evil, purple energy.
* ChromosomeCasting: When the ''Dino Charge'' team first show up for a crossover; Linkara makes a quick, snide observation that all the Dino Charge Rangers to first appear are male (Shelby, the Dino Charge Pink Ranger, does show up later, although only morphed due to alleged trouble with production).
* {{Fanservice}}: Linkara comments that he actually enjoys the fanservice of this season and considers it to be ''Super Megaforce'' done right. As it acknowledges past continuity, pays respect to all sections of the franchise (the crossover episode had representation from the Saban, Disney, Neo Saban, and Hasbro Eras), ties up loose ends from a past season (finishing [[spoiler:Venjix]] for good), and has a character from a previous season use their experiences to help push one of the new characters forward.
** He also discusses fan criticism of the show's last quarter seemingly using fanservice as a crutch, pandering too much to the older fanbase and with no apparent faith in its own ideas. While he understands, as this is a problem he shares with modern Franchise/StarTrek (at least at the time of the video's release), he ultimately disagrees, pointing out that the vast majority of the show ''wasn't'' filled with such references and had already established its own identity over thirty episodes prior. It also helps, in his opinion, that the fanservice was handled far better than in ''Super Megaforce'' (see above).
** He does express disappointment, however, that the Beast Rangers barely get to do anything alongside the dino-themed Rangers, although this was due to the Sentai-equivalent team-up movie sidelining the Go-Busters in favour of the dinosaur teams, as ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' apparently didn't perform well.
** When discussing how he did not think ''Go-Busters'' would make a good ''Power Rangers'' season in his ''Dino Charge'' review, he expressed annoyance that some fans thought it would make the perfect adaptation just because ''Go-Busters'' said "It's Morphin Time!" before their transformation. One bit of fan service as a nod to the original ''Power Rangers'' did not suddenly make the Sentai the perfect ''Power Rangers'' season-to-be in his opinion.
* FlatCharacter: Points out that the weak link this season was its villains; the Blaze and Roxy copies lacked depth and just felt like wasted potential, Evox's general Scrozzle was so dull Linkara struggled to even remember his name, and the only thing that really gave Evox anything worthwhile was the fact [[spoiler:he was secretly Venjix]], and even then that wasn't revealed until the last few episodes.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: At multiple points in the review, Linkara makes numerous references to [[spoiler:Power Rangers RPM]], pointing out the numerous, albeit sometimes superficial, similarities. Most of the time this is done in Linkara's usual, half-sarcastic fashion, [[spoiler:until it's later revealed in the final episodes that ''Beast Morphers'' is a pseudo-sequel to ''RPM''.]]
* HandWave:
** Points out how some fans seemed to take issue with the agency having ''Mystic Force'' morphers in storage, but Linkara figures Udonna probably donated some as the equivalent of empty spellbooks for research (not morphers from the actual Mystic Rangers).
** Is fine with the fact Evox doesn't act exactly like [[spoiler:Venjix from ''RPM'']], noting there could be any number of logical reasons he would act differently over time, in a new dimension, and in a new body.
** Is fine with Jason being given a new Tyrannosaurus Power Coin in spite of getting his powers back in "Forever Red", since maybe the powers were lost or failed in the interim. Is also fine with the ''Mighty Morphin'' team having the original Megazord instead of the Thunder/Ninja Megazord, since he figures maybe the Zords are directly linked to the powers, so old coins equals old zords.
* IdiotBall:
** Calls out Nate for [[spoiler:creating Evox]] by combining old Ranger tech, Morph-X, and ''snake DNA''! However, as baffling as this idea is, he does eventually give it a pass since Nate was a child at the time.
** Calls out the agency for their decision to immediately turn the power grid back on after separating Evox from the mayor, when had they left it off they could have theoretically starved Evox into submission.
* LazyArtist: Was not a fan of the [[TransformationSequence morphing sequence]] this season, saying it felt lazy (being just a colored vortex with a CG of the ranger's animal briefly popping out).
* MilestoneCelebration[[invoked]]: Linkara jokes that although this season was released on the odd 27th year anniversary of Power Rangers (and thus isn't a milestone year) it still did fanservice better than ''Megaforce''.
* PlotHole: Briefly touched on when the season eventually reveals this is their dimension's first set of Power Rangers, why the other rangers would have arrived to share their tech in the first place.
* PowerupLetdown:
** His reaction to the Red Ranger's battlizer, since its power source was [[PowerOfHate inherently evil]] so it had to be destroyed. Linkara notes the "Red Fury Mode" was a completely American creation so required all original footage, before sarcastically adding it seemed like "money well spent" with how little it was used.
** Was a little disappointed when Steel became human because it meant losing his cool voice.
* ProductionForeshadowing: Linkara started up [[https://twitter.com/Linkara19/status/1419905243379290113 a thread on Twitter]] as he watched the show in prepration, and some of the stuff he commented on ended up in the video.
* ProlongedPrologue: Something about this season that ''really'' annoys him, is that many episodes will go for several minutes before finally getting to the theme song. At one point, Linkara notes an episode is already half over by the time they get to it (coupled with the fact he dislikes the theme song in general).
* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: This is the season where he does not like the trope being used. He's fine with the likes of Zordon and Gosei using teenagers because maybe they could sense the potential in their candidates, but a military organization using teenagers as opposed to trained soldiers just doesn't make sense.
* RookieRedRanger: Discussed when Devon is made the leader of the team when he has no previous experience and isn't even a member of the Grid Battleforce agency. That being said, Linkara does also point out Devon quickly steps up for the role and is a good leader, overall.
* ShoutOut: There are a ''lot'' of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' clips in this recap to reflect Linkara's bafflement with the weirder-than-usual WeirdScience that sets the show in motion, particularly its confusing take on [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic manipulation]].
* SimpleYetAwesome: Was a fan of how simple this season's Battlizers were, light armor that was just enough to look like an upgrade without being too silly or bulky. Even Devon's "Red Fury Mode" for how [[PowerupLetdown useless it was in the grand scheme of things]], Linkara was at least a fan of its overall visual aesthetic.
* SpandexLatexOrLeather: Since ''Beast Morhpers'' is the first season not to use spandex, Linkara gives his thoughts on the leather-based Ranger suits. Personally, Linkara likes them, seeing them more of a practical suit.
* {{Spoiler}}: Similar to the Mystic Mother twist; Linkara expresses a bit of annoyance that fans ruined the twist that Evox [[spoiler:is actually Venjix]], reminding his fans he doesn't watch the show until months before he plans on doing his reviews, not as it airs.
* SpotlightStealingSquad:
** Points out the strange happenstance that ''Dino Charge'' gets all the crossovers with this season as opposed to ''Ninja Steel'', which was the preceding ranger team. This is because the Super Sentai ''Go-Busters'' originally came out before ''Kyoryuger'', with ''Ninninger'' premiering a few seasons after (thus completely unconnected with ''Go-Busters'').
** This is also true of the Dino Charge Rangers in general, who seem to get more focus over the Beast Rangers. Especially apparent when the ''Mighty Morphin'' and ''Dino Thunder'' rangers show up creating a clear dinosaur ranger motif, although this was due to the original Sentai footage as Linkara notes.
* SuddenMusicalEnding: The final minutes of the show features a big song and dance number that he doesn't know what to make of, likening it to something out of ''Film/{{Xanadu|1980}}''.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks[[invoked]]:
** [[LampshadeHanging Hangs a lampshade]] on the controversial re-naming of the Gold Ranger's Zord from a rhino beetle to a praying mantis, joking that this is probably just a Power Rangers tradition at this point.
** Talks about his trepidation with the fact Neo-Saban has passed the franchise over to Hasbro, what with Hasbro's less than glowing history with live-action properties. However, this becomes a DefiedTrope when Linkara notes Hasbro was happy to keep most of the old writers on board and they ended up creating a fairly decent season.
** Was not a fan of them bringing back Goldar as Goldar Maximus, since they didn't get the same voice actor, plus them acting like he and Jason have some deep, personal rivalry aside from just being general enemies.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: One of his complaints regarding the evil Blaze and Roxy is that they do not take advantage of looking like their friends and using subterfuge and emotional manipulation against the Rangers. Sure, Linkara does note of a couple of episodes that they use it, but he wished they would have more to them. This even extends to the added mutations near the end as he wished they would show remorse and guilt over their actions, or at bare minimum some self-preservation (especially from Blaze after Roxy's demise).
* TimeyWimeyBall: Brings this up when Sledge and his crew return with a vendetta against the Power Rangers since it is confusing with how much ''Dino Charge'' repeatedly kicked the timeline in the balls if the events of that season are even considered to have still happened or if it was all erased when the rangers stopped the extinction of the dinosaurs.
* TroubledProduction[[invoked]]: Brings up the rumor as to why Riley and Shelby only appeared morphed during the ''Dino Charge'' crossover was due to the fact actors Michael Taber and Camille Hyde said filming for Power Rangers was a miserable experience. Linkara even takes a moment to discuss the fact being an actual actor on the show isn't as glamorous as fans may assume it is.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Understands both sides of the agency having a strict "No Dating" rule; on the one hand he points out that not allowing Zoey and Nate to date because it would be a distraction is pointless since romantic tension can be just as, if not more so distracting as what happens one episode during their AlmostKiss. On the other hand, Linkara notes while dating itself isn't a problem, should a couple go through a messy break-up, it could be extremely detrimental to the team.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He discusses this in regards to why Ben and Betty don't work as comic relief compared to Victor and Monty from ''Ninja Steel''. Victor and Monty were arrogant pricks, which made all the jokes and humiliation at their expense cathartic to watch. With Ben and Betty, who are genuinely nice and loving people, it's less entertaining and makes the audience just feel bad for them.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Dislikes the weaknesses given the rangers due to their powers being derived from animal DNA; not only do they make no sense for anyone who has beyond a first grader knowledge of animal biology[[note]]cheetahs are not afraid of dogs, carrots are not actually good for jackrabbits, and gorillas do not spontaneously combust[[/note]], but they are mostly there just to be comic relief.
* WellDoneSonGuy: What Linkara views as the overarching theme; summed up as "Family". Each of the Rangers are given character arcs that have them trying to make their parents proud, with the two most focused being Devon's relationship with Mayor Daniels and Ravi with Commander Shaw.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While he has no inherent issue with the ''Mighty Morphin'' team using the original Megazord (even though it was destroyed, he figured old powers restored means old Zords), he does point out the Ninja Falconzord was never destroyed and wonders whatever happened to it.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Claims that Steel sacrificing himself in the finale really didn't affect him emotionally, since, throughout the entire series, Steel had always been shown willing to put himself in danger for the greater good since he was a robot.
* WhatTheHellCastingAgency [[invoked]]: While he understands the excuse that the show didn't have the masters of the original voice recordings for the villain ClipShow, he expressed confusion at the dubbing they replaced it with. Of course, Lord Zedd gets a pass since Robert Axelrod has passed away, but why they couldn't have gotten Barbara Goodson to voice Rita or Kerrigan Mahan to return as Goldar was a poor decision, in his opinion.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Dino Fury'']]
* AntiVillain: One thing Linkara likes about Void Knight and Void Queen is that their motivations are sympathetic as the series progress. Void Knight needed the Sporix to revive Santaura and never wanted to hurt civilians, while Void Queen's revenge was driven by the [[spoiler:apparent]] loss of her daughter.
* TheBusCameBack: Of course, Linkara does mention [[spoiler:the return Lord Zedd come the episode ''Old Foes'', but his opinions were mixed at best. While the suit looked fine and the Emperor did show his brute strength, he found the episode to be half baked and was not fond of his voice. Still, he did come around when Lord Zedd returned for Season 2, as he found the latter's voice improved and liked how his plan was reminiscent to his old ones in the ''Mighty Morphin'' era, especially as he nearly won over the Rangers]].
* CallBack:
** Much like in the ''Time Force'' installment, he cracks a quick joke about how one part of the endgame storyline shares an episode title with an episode of ''Series/DoctorWho'' and claims he mixed up his notes again.
** At the reveal of Lothorn, after he had made a joke about Lokar getting a reference, he has the exact same reaction to it as the reveal of the Bull Zord back during the ''Samurai'' installment.
-->'''Linkara:''' '''[[IWasJustJoking I WAS KIDDING!]]'''
* ContinuitySnarl: Linkara becomes a sputtering wreck concerning the episode "Ultimate Mystery" as, though he forgot to mention it in the review, he believed that ''Beast Morphers'' was in its own universe similarly to ''RPM'' and ''Dino Charge'', but that went out the window when Commander Shaw calls the Dino Fury Rangers for help. He doesn't understand why Grid Battleforce wasn't mentioned ''at all'' in the previous season or now, especially since [[spoiler:Lord Zedd was walking around]] and Mick and the Ninja Prism Star was involved in a previous episode. He acknowledges that people told him that it was "obvious" it took place in the main universe, but the various hints ''just didn't make sense''.
* ComedyGhetto[[invoked]]: He has nothing against comic relief hijinks, but isn't too fond of Jane and J-Borg's subplots. He notes that this is likely due to behind-the-scenes realities; the comedy scenes and the character and action scenes are filmed separately, and thus they don't always cohere.
* ExecutiveMeddling[[invoked]]: He's grateful to Simon Bennett, a longtime director on the show recently promoted to an executive producer, for sharing more behind-the-scenes information into the decision-making process at Saban and Hasbro. Among Bennett's comments:
** Saban commanded that each episode end with AnAesop, and be more-or-less self-contained to prevent ContinuityLockout[[invoked]] among the young viewers. This is why the clones of Roxy and Blaze explode at the end of nearly episode in season two of ''Beast Morphers'', only to be rebuilt immediately in the next episode and repeat the cycle.
** They were required to include at least two Victor and Monty scenes in every episode, and had a massive library of fart sound effects for their shtick. He mocks this by suggesting that this was [[Series/PoliceSquad "The Writer's Barely Disguised Fetish"]] and is mildly annoyed when a fart joke appears early on, but understands that it was part of ''Ryusoulger''.
** ''Dino Fury'' was originally planned to run for 22 episodes, but was extended to 44. The name was also changed from ''Dino Knights'' to ''Dino Fury'', despite the knight motif remaining.
** The [[spoiler:Lord Zedd]] arc was apparently thrown in at the last minute after the episode count rose to 44, with an executive from Hasbro suggesting [[spoiler:Lord Zedd]] come back. And for something that was not originally planned, Linkara enjoyed it, especially come Season 2.
* FanWank[[invoked]]:
** He's flabbergasted by the show matter-of-factly confirming that ''Beast Morphers'' is in the main timeline, and tosses out a few half-baked theories to make it make sense.
** When discussing the Green Morphin Master's role in handling previously unexplained events, Linkara wonders if she had a hand in reviving Kendrix at the end of ''Lost Galaxy'', and the reason why ''Dino Charge'' is in its own universe after the bat shit finale.
** Lastly, Linkara wonders if a colony of Raftkonians making Earth their home at the end of the season would be the start point of ''S.P.D's'' background of having humans and aliens live in harmony.
* {{Fanservice}}: Linkara is initially apprehensive over the usage of the Morphin' Masters and [[spoiler:the return of Lord Zedd]] in Season One, fearing that doing fanservice for the sake of fanservice might alienate fans, but he lays off as the show progresses.
* GrowingTheBeard[[invoked]]: As appose to how slow the first season for Dino Fury was, Linkara liked the second season more as everything started to form based on the plot points introduced last season into a more coherent and well told story.
* HypeBacklash[[invoked]]: Downplayed. While he has high praise for the season, even admitting that it is one of the best seasons, he feels that the fans overhyped the show just a little bit.
* OfficialCouple: At long last, ''Power Rangers'' has introduced its first LGBTQ+ couple with Green Ranger Izzy and recurring character Fern. Linkara finds their romance adorable, and is happy to see that after years of NoHuggingNoKissing, these two ''finally'' break the streak and get a proper kissing scene.
* ThePowerOfLove: As this tropes ties into the theme of revenge, Linkara likes how Void Knight and Void Queen are not defeated in a traditional manner, but by the reveal [[spoiler:that Amelia was their long-lost daughter]].
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:At the end of the review, Linkara says that the Dino Fury Rangers' journey is not over yet as, for the first time since the Zordon Era, they will continue the fight in ''Cosmic Fury''.]]
* TheReveal: He compliments the final twist [[spoiler:that Amelia is the villains' long-lost daughter]]; all the clues were in place, but they weren't so heavy-handed with the foreshadowing so as to spoil it too soon.
* SlowPacedBeginning[[invoked]]: He considers the first season weaker than the second because there's little plot momentum in favor of more character-centric and self-contained episodes.
* TemptingFate: Early in the video, Linkara is completely shocked that they used the Morphin' Masters, a concept that was only used ''once'' early in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' season one and never used again until ''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios''.[[note]]Which is explicitly an alternate universe take on the ''Power Rangers'' mythos.[[/note]] He mentions that it would be like if they referenced Lokar, who only showed up twice in ''Mighty Morphin'' was suddenly referenced here... and near the end of the review, we're introduced to Lothorn, who reveals himself as Lokar's nephew to Linkara's surprise.[[note]]In a bit of serendipity, it's because in ''Ryusoulger'', the MonsterOfTheWeek Lothorn is based off of was a repainted and repurposed Dai-Satan costume from ''Series/FourWeekContinuousSuperSentaiStrongestBattle''.[[/note]]
* UnexpectedCharacter[[invoked]]: This season has a lot of nods to Ranger history, bringing back one-off ''Mighty Morphin'' concepts like Lokar and the Morphin' Masters or supporting characters from ''Beast Morphers'' and ''Ninja Steel'' in lieu of the traditional team-up.
* AWizardDidIt: This season introduces the wizard: the Green Morphing Master, one of the color-coded spirits connected to the Grid itself. Against the wishes of her peers, she's been providing [[DeusExMachina Dei Ex Machina]] for nearly every Ranger team, from the Legendary Battle to Steel's transformation. [[TropesAreTools Linkara doesn't mind this]] as much as he did for characters like Gosei, since unlike Gosei being essentially a Dei Ex Machina dispenser despite having no solid narrative reason for doing so, Morphin Master Green is properly established as doing so because of her belief that the Morphin Masters should be more proactive in helping the battle against evil, instead of staying in the background.[[note]]And unlike Gosei, who seemed to just be the writers' way of getting out of problems they created, Morphin Master Green is a {{Retcon}} to explain a lot of the sillier/inexplicable events that happened in the series' past.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers'']]
* AdaptedOut: Discusses how fans were disappointed that in Season 2 the Rangers continue using the suits of ''Zyuranger'', as opposed to the ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' suits. For the record, Linkara says he likes ''Dairanger'' suits aesthetically, but also thinks with Season 2 overhauling the Zords and the main villain, it was a good call by the show to ''not'' change the suits as well, as too much change to the status quo could have alienated existing viewers.
* AdultsAreUseless: Linkara says that the teens of Angel Grove are the only people who do ''anything'' in this city in his Season 2 review, especially during his rant about the baby carriage chase.
* AprilFoolsDay: He posted a video about the "reversioned" version of the first season as a joke for April Fools in 2015.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Applauds the show's use of this in regards to Lord Zedd, pointing out that as the Emperor of Evil he shouldn't have to sully his own hands in combat, but when he does in Season 3 it shows Zedd is a legitimate threat which justifies why he is in charge. Even before that, Linkara notes that it's obvious Zedd is higher than Rita in the pecking order due to the sheer fact that Zedd can create monsters at will, whereas Rita had to evoke magic incantations or use her MookMaker Finster to do it.
* BreakoutCharacter: At one point during his review of Season 2, he nonchalantly calls the show ''The Tommy Oliver Show (featuring the Power Rangers)''.
* ContinuityCreep: Linkara discusses how this occurred over the course of the three seasons. The first season didn't really have much in the way of significant storylines, except for things like the Green Ranger arc, with many of the episodes just being filler MonsterOfTheWeek stories, sometimes even contradicting prior continuity from episode to episode. By contrast, the third season had a lot more multi-parters and multi-episode storylines.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While he does note that Rita was just as happy being petty and trying to ruin the Rangers' day as she was actually trying to take over the world, Linkara does point out that she was a legitimate threat when she wanted to be, such as creating the [[SixthRanger Green Ranger]], nearly stealing the powers back, and once even ransoming the Ranger's parents for their power coins. He also points out Lord Zedd was a lot more successful as an EvilOverlord once he married Rita.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** The three-person windmill combination used to fend off the Putties in an early episode, among other weird plot points in early episodes.
** The [[CoolCar Rad Bug]], a flying car that Billy made.
** He thinks that the FlyingBrick powers the Rangers got in the second season were really weird, not to mention redundant since the Rangers already could teleport.
* FanPreferredCouple[[invoked]]: Linkara mentions how he likes Tommy and Kimberly together as a couple and likes to think they got back together in the end despite what later seasons would tell us.
* FirstInstallmentWins[[invoked]]:
** While he notes that the dialogue wasn't very good, "Green With Evil" is the standard by which he judges other Sixth Ranger storylines. The Green Ranger was an evil Ranger able to fight on-par with the team and command his own Zord to rival the Megazord, and this coupled with his infiltration of the Command Centre and the Megazord, built him up as a greater threat than the standard MonsterOfTheWeek.
** Up to ''In Space'' when it stopped occurring (since each season began to start over with a new team), storylines where Rangers leave the team and are replaced are compared to "A Different Shade of Pink", which wrote Kimberly off the show in a storyline that justified why the powers were being transferred, provided pay off to her character's personality and hobbies, and did a good job setting up Kat as a worthy replacement.
** He mentions that while many later Megazords are perfectly cool in their own right, the original is his favorite, a big bulky robot with horns, a chest plate, a CoolSword, and its design is reminiscent of [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]].
* GrowingTheBeard[[invoked]]: He raves at length about how great the "Green With Evil" 5-parter was and how it upped the stakes, giving the Rangers a more formidable enemy in an enemy Ranger instead of a random MonsterOfTheWeek, how the Green Ranger damaging the Command Center and Zords made the story more intense, and the simple fact that it was a five-part saga, something a lot of shows, especially kids shows, don't do. Additionally, the aftermath of the struggle introduced Tommy, who would become the focus of a running subplot concerning his powers and become the show's BreakoutCharacter.
* HiddenDepths: He mentions during his review of the second season that despite being bullies previously, Bulk and Skull showed admirable traits, pointing out when Bulk ''immediately'' gave chase when he saw an out of control baby carriage on his own initiative, and when he and Skull, after having the Rangers foil some of their past attempts at revealing their identities, stood up to a monster to save the heroes.
* IKnowMaddenKombat: Touched on when he discusses when Kat replaced Kimberly, for about an episode it was shown Katherine was clearly outside of her depth when it came to martial arts, but made up for it with her ballet training, giving her an interesting fighting style. Linkara laments this was only shown a couple of times before Kat suddenly started fighting as if she had known martial arts for as long as all the others.
* KnightOfCerebus: Discusses Zedd as having this effect -- he's not only much more imposing than Rita, but is clearly more powerful when it comes to his spells, and is more intelligent and calculating, trying to split the Rangers up and using their day-to-day activities to inspire monster ideas, often transforming a personal item of theirs into a monster to give the Rangers an emotional stake in the battle.
* LetsSeeYOUDoBetter: Linkara scoffs at the ridiculous outfits of Zedd's PsychoRangers (which were basically the Putties' outfits, only colored), stating that he could make a more convincing outfit. Indeed, those who watch the storyline portions of ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' know that he most certainly can make more convincing, better outfits, as exemplified by the costume he made for Lord Vyce.
* MagicVersusScience: Discussed and named as the main theme of the first few seasons -- Rita and Zedd are magic-users who employ monsters with fantastical mystical appearances to fight the Rangers, who work from the high-tech futuristic Command Center and employ technological powers like the Morphers and Zords.
* MerchandiseDriven: Points out the reason the oft-mocked Metallic Armor (which was just the same Ranger Costumes using ill-fitting glitter fabric) were even added were to sell back stock of toys from ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie''. He even says the toys looked ''better'' than the actual Metallic Armor in the show since the toys used metallic paint, as opposed to just glitter.
* MistakenForProstitute: During the Wild West two-parter, he's surprised that Kimberly doesn't have this happen to her because of [[BareYourMidriff her outfit]]... before he remembers that this is a kid's show.
* MistakenForRacist: Points out the much-discussed fact that the Black Ranger was African-American and the Yellow Ranger was Asian, but also notes that the production team had gone on record as saying it was unintentional and they did not realize their mistake until several episodes into the first season.
* MrFanservice: Considers Richie's inclusion in the second season (in addition to being a RedHerring for the White Ranger identity) to be just eye-candy for the female viewers, although he does say if this is true that it baffles him, since any one of the male Rangers had a physique any male model would die for.
* {{Narm}}[[invoked]]: When talking about the Wild West two-parter, he mentions that while his suspension of disbelief can reconcile a few details that seem a bit off regarding continuity, the idea that they still have an "Ernie's Juice ''Saloon''" strains a bit of credibility for him.
* NarmCharm[[invoked]]: In his remaster of the review he talks about the incredibly goofy episode featuring the [=RadBug=], a flying car Billy created out of nowhere. He points this out as probably the silliest thing the show has ''ever'' done... and also one of the most ''awesome'', wondering why they never thought of using the flying car again in future episodes.
* OldShame[[invoked]]: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] when he discusses Austin St. John, Thuy Trang, and Walter Emanuel Jones being fired partway through the second season when negotiations broke down regarding union rights. While they may have differing opinions regarding how they were paid or how production was handled, Linkara states he's heard none of the actors ever felt ''Power Rangers'' was a low point in their careers, and look back on it fondly. The fact Austin St. John came [[Series/PowerRangersZeo back]] [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce three]] [[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers times]] lends credence to that fact.
* PowerupLetdown:
** His opinion of both Jetting from Season 2 and the Metallic Armor from Season 3. Jetting was just giving the Rangers FlyingBrick powers which were redundant since the Rangers could already Teleport, and the Metallic Armor was just a thick layer of glitter over their normal costumes that half the time he couldn't even tell if they were even using. Not only that but the fact that the Rangers barely ever used both these powers before forgetting about them completely made them feel even extra useless.
** He was also not a fan of the fact that after gaining the Ninja powers the Rangers morphed into their old costumes since they no longer had anything to do with their powers. At the very least he argues they should have given them new helmets to reflect their ninja animal spirits.
* PragmaticAdaptation:
** Points out that when Saban ran out of the original ''Zyuranger'' footage, they called Toei to make original footage for them, known as ''[=Zyu2=]''.
** Beginning in Season 2, Saban would use footage from the next two Sentai's after ''Zyuranger'' (''Dairanger'' and ''Kakuranger''), but keeping it limited (zord battles mainly). Linkara doesn't mind it however as it made the ''Zyuranger'' suits the more iconic features of Power Rangers, and the new zords introduced at the beginning of each season felt like actual upgrades compared to later seasons. That isn't to say that it came without problems, however. At the beginning of Season 2, they still had ''[=Zyu2=]'' footage to use up, so the earlier Thunderzord battles had obvious cuts into the footage. Plus, the monster costumes from later seasons were limited to said Zord footage, or stand-alone footage from the Sentai if they couldn't get the costumes overseas.
** In the Season 3 remastered review, Linkara notes that in ''Kakuranger'', the rangers started with the Shogun Zords first and then had the Ninja Zords later on while in ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'', it was the other way around. Linkara doesn't mind it, even stating that starting with the more humanoid Shogun Zords would have been a big departure from a show that had animal-based Zords by that point.
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: As Bulk and Skull seek to discover the identities of the Rangers throughout Season 2, whenever they came close (video footage or plaster casts of their footprints) ''the Rangers'' would sabotage their findings. You can't blame them for wanting to keep their secret identities, but at this point ''they'' were becoming the bullies... in Linkara's mind anyway. Really the Rangers were just keeping Bulk and Skull from exposing their identities to EVERYONE. He admits he was being too hard on the Rangers with his re-release of the second season, although he still thinks it could have been handled better by them.
* PutOnABus: Of course he discusses the departure of Jason, Trini, and Zack for the International Peace Conference. When he remastered his Second Season Review he even shares that the reason they left was due to their actors negotiating for union rights and negotiations breaking down.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he jokes that Zordon will occasionally make some questionable choices (and that the reason us Zordon is getting back at the Rangers for "breaking his stuff"), Linkara does point out, notably when Jason, Zack, and Trini leave the team, and then later when Kimberly wants to become an Olympic-level gymnast, that his intention for recruiting the teenagers with attitude was never to have them give up their lives, he still wants them to fulfill their own personal goals and dreams. This also gets brought up with much later reviews, as well, when talking about mentors who aren't anywhere near as reasonable.
* RedHerring: Points out in the updated review that Richie and Zack's cousin, Curtis, were only included in the second season as possible candidates for the identity of the new White Ranger. Linkara even mentions as a kid he really did think it was Richie who was going to be revealed as a Ranger, instead of it being Tommy.
* ShipToShipCombat[[invoked]]: Linkara is firmly on the Tommy/Kimberly ship as opposed to the Tommy/Kat ship.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Notes that Tommy had become this for a portion of the second season during the arc when Zedd focused on depleting his powers, with Tommy getting more development at the expense of the rest of the team.
* StrangledByTheRedString[[invoked]]: Feels that way about the writers forcing Tommy and Katherine's romance, not only because he prefers Tommy staying with Kimberly, but also he felt Adam and Rocky could have desperately benefited from being paired with Kat if only to give them some sort of development as characters.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]:
** In his season 2 video, he says that a storyline of Bulk and Skull learning the Rangers' identities [[SecretKeeper and having to cover for them]] would be great as the duo would get CharacterDevelopment, having to clean up their messes when the rangers get the glory. A step further would be them [[HeelRealization finding themselves to be jerks and not doing anything worthwhile with their lives.]]
** Also notes this about the Dark Rangers, in addition to their stupid costumes,[[note]]Funnily enough, in issue #3 of ''Power Rangers Saga'', published by Hamilton Comics in the mid-1990s, Zedd's evil Rangers '''do''' wear helmets similar to the Rangers', making the comic book version a proper EvilCounterpart to the latter.[[/note]] we don't get to see them do anything and the teens that Zedd planned to turn into the Dark Rangers are never seen again.
** He laments the fact that they did not spend longer showing the growing pains of Kat suddenly taking over for Kimberly than they did.
* TookALevelInBadass: See VillainDecay.
* VillainDecay: [[SubvertedTrope He counters the complaints about Lord Zedd becoming ineffectual after marrying Rita]] by concisely explaining that Zedd had become no more dangerous than Rita, falling into the same rut of every plan. The only partial victory before he married Rita was draining the Green Ranger powers, but after the marriage, they destroyed the Thunder Zords, nearly killed Kimberly, disabled the Ninja Zords, destroyed the Ninja Coins, and ''even [[CliffHanger the Command Center]]''.
* JustForFun/XMeetsY:[[invoked]] On the look of Lord Zedd, "Just ''look'' at this guy--this is what [[Franchise/{{Alien}} H.R. Giger]] would create if he wanted to make a ''super-villain''!"
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Doesn't like how the show keeps calling the stone monolith that Rita was trapped in a "Dumpster" since he says it's obviously more of a bin or barrel, or at best a garbage can.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Zeo'']]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Talks about how after the teens returned to their old timeline, everyone just forgot that Ninjor from the previous season even existed. This season also introduced Auric the Conqueror, who also just disappears at some point and is then never referred to again.
* ContinuityLockout: InUniverse example. During the reading of the infamous DearJohnLetter, Linkara adds text over Tanya, having her think, "Who the hell is Kimberly?"
* CreatorBacklash: In the updated review, Linkara admits that one of the things he didn't like in the original review was not properly talking about Tommy's brother arc. He was just tired of TV's portrayal of Native Americans as a whole, and that the story arc continues the trend that [[SpotlightStealingSquad Tommy gets the most development over the others.]] He does admit however that when there is something that adds development, he should properly talk about it.[[invoked]]
* CluelessMystery: What he criticizes the Gold Ranger arc turning out to be, see TheReveal below, bringing up all the hints that were proved pointless.
* DearJohnLetter: Annoyed that this is how Kimberly breaks up with Tommy, even referencing it again later in ''Dino Thunder''.
* EvilVersusEvil: Zedd and Rita vs the Machine Empire.
* InformedAbility: The Cogs were supposedly unrelenting and "must be completely dismantled to be defeated", suggesting they were more dangerous than the previous set of {{Mooks}}, but they were disabled in basically the same fashion as everything else... punching and kicking them a lot.
* MagicVersusScience: As with the first three seasons of ''Mighty Morphin'', Linkara discusses the effect of this trope here, too. In this case, however, it's been exchanged for the idea of balance between the two concepts, with the Rangers' powers being more mystical in nature and enhanced with technology, while the enemies are a technological alien empire and the magic users Rita and Zedd.
* PopCulturalOsmosis: He brings this up in the updated video in regards to the change to ''Zeo'', mentioning that as far fewer people know about [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Asajj Ventress]] or [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Jonathan Archer]] than they do [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] and [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries James T. Kirk]], many people are only familiar with the ''Mighty Morphin[='=]'' era and not what came afterwards.
* RealLifeRelative:[[invoked]] Likes that Creator/JasonDavidFrank's real-life brother played Tommy's brother on the show as it added realistic chemistry.
* TheReveal:
** Despite early indications of it being someone the Rangers knew, the Gold Ranger ended up being someone nobody knew or had even heard of up to that point (Trey of Triforia), which he admits disappointment over.
** On the other hand, the identity of the guy to take over the Gold Ranger powers being revealed as Jason was praised for being such an unexpected twist.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Linkara explains that this trope is unfortunately why Billy was written off. Due to David Yost being harassed by production due to his sexuality (the '90s weren't kind to LGBTQ members), he basically walked off the set one day and never came back.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]: He was disappointed with the Machine Empire sticking with the same MonsterOfTheWeek plans we saw before and not launching any full-scale invasions, especially since he brings up that what we see of it is visually very impressive with numerous robot servants and giant {{Walking Tank}}s.
* TimeyWimeyBall: When Tanya replaces Aisha in the timeline, Tanya just automatically gains all of Aisha's history and friends somehow. Also, Tanya is living with Kat because previously Aisha was living with Kat... except she wasn't, it was actually Kimberly who was living with Aisha. Basically, Linkara says things get super confusing and convoluted whenever ''Power Rangers'' tries to do anything involving time travel.
* UnfortunateImplications[[invoked]]: While it was the obvious choice to have Tommy be Zeo Ranger 5 (since he was the leader), Linkara does point out the faux pas of making the Native American cast member the Red Ranger, or as he eloquently puts it: "Whoops."
* VillainBall: When Rita gets her new MagicStaff and fails to zap Kat with it to turn her into a monster, Linkara points out how Rita has a firm handle on this ball since she doesn't think to just try and zap Kat again immediately after missing the first time (or any time after that).
* VillainDecay: Notes the Machine Empire falls into this, despite the initial build-up about them, as they stick to the same plans that Rita and Zedd did and continuously fail to defeat the rangers. He even admits that Rita mocking them and saying that they're a joke is pretty much true by the finale.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: In the revisited video, he mentions the popular, though unsubstantiated, rumor that the original plan for the Gold Ranger was for the character to be revealed as Ryan Steele from ''Series/VRTroopers''.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids:[[invoked]] Finds the fight between Rita and Zedd's [[WingedHumanoid Tenga Warriors]] and the Machine Empire's [[MechaMooks Cogs]] surprisingly violent and dark, showing Tengas having their feathers ripped out and the cogs being disembowelled on-screen.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Points out that Jason is clearly weaker than Trey as the Gold Ranger, but it's also completely justified: Trey is far more experienced with the powers and they were designed for a Triforian, who despite looking human clearly have very different biology than a human (a factor that is actually a plot-point towards the end of the series), so it only makes sense he'd be somewhat stronger than Jason with them.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Turbo'']]
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
** Goes on a massive rant about every problem ''Turbo'' has at the mid-point; the experienced rangers giving their morphers to untested rookies (though arguably the Millennium Message is more the cause of this), Divatox's complete failure as a villain, and the cars coming out of nowhere, he finishes with "and we have a police lieutenant running a frigging juice bar!"
--->'''Rita Repulsa:''' ''I HAVE A HEADACHE!''
** Also, the reasons why he doesn't consider "Scorpion Rain" as canon: "1. The movie was never completed. 2. It wouldn't have answered all of the questions raised. 3. It was not conceived by the at-the-time production team. And 4. It probably wouldn't have been that good anyway."
* {{Angrish}}: He was forced to take a brief break to scream in anger when the Rangers were cooked into a pizza. While we never actually see him, a SkywardScream seems likely.
-->'''Linkara:''' So after a filler episode where they get baked into a giant pizza... ({{beat}}) ...Excuse me for a moment. ''(walks away from the mic)'' '''''AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!'''''
* TheBadGuyWins: Admits that while he's annoyed that Divatox is the one that defeats the Power Rangers, and the contradiction with how early shows implied that villains couldn't just break into the Command Center like in the finale, he does admit that in the overall atmosphere, the finale is still pretty good.
* BaitAndSwitch:
** While perhaps not intentional, the way the clips are edited in the original teaser, along with the music, makes ''Turbo'' seems like a maelstrom of epicness capable of curing world hunger, only for Linkara to chime in when it's done:
--->'''Linkara''': Welcome, one and all, to ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''... the season that almost ended the franchise.
** Normally, the teaser takes a silly scene from the season being reviewed and Linkara will riff on it, but after that point, he goes on to be very fair and overall positive towards the season. The fact that the first and so far only time Linkara has opened the episode with a teaser that makes the season look totally awesome (in contrast to established expectations) winds up being for the first season that Linkara openly dislikes makes it stand out even more.
* CatharticScream: He lets one out after mentioning the infamous Ranger pizza episode.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He doesn't have any real problem with the new Rangers once they take over, and his ''In Space'' and ''Lost Galaxy'' reviews show that he does grow to like the four new characters and how they evolve to become worthy Rangers who take their duties and responsibility seriously, but he outright states that they did not get good introductory episodes, and their initial incarnations don't befit the characters they become, especially Cassie.
* EvilIsPetty: Is not fond of the fact that Divatox is this.
* FollowTheLeader[[invoked]]: In the updated review, Linkara notes with {{Irony}} that Saban used the pre-teen turned ranger idea based on their other show ''Series/BigBadBeetleborgs'', which was beating ''Turbo'' in ratings. It failed because ''Beetleborgs'' established themselves from the start that these are pre-teen children that become superheroes, while ''Power Rangers'' started with teenagers. So the addition of having a child superhero with young adults just seemed odd and stupid.
* IdiotBall: Contrasts Divatox's pettiness and incompetence (such as always setting her bombs to go off in an hour and that for the first half of the series, almost all her plans involved bombs) against the Machine Empire and Rita & Zedd, who even if they started that way, learned from their mistakes and became more effective. Especially emphasized with a plan that involved her ''robbing a bank'', when she's a ''space pirate''. Earth currency is ''worthless'' off-world, so what was the point of that?
* LighterAndSofter: Linkara admits in the updated review that this is one of the reasons he hates this season. After four seasons of escalating the fight, villains, and powers, we get a tamer season with car powers and more comic relief villains that feels like it's pandering to younger kids.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: His angsty scream after the "cooked into the pizza" incident.
* MoodWhiplash:
** Notes that the pilot suffered from this; Zordon leaving the rangers happens in the same episode where we have a fight with giant cars ramming each other.
** In terms of villains, he considers Divatox one of these. He explains that, well... the first villain was Rita Repulsa, an Empress of Evil. The next Big Bad to show up was Lord Zedd, who was even ''more'' powerful, and was the "Emperor of Evil." The next villains after that were the Machine Empire, which was implied to be on a massive rampage throughout the cosmos, conquering star system after star system... and they were so powerful that the previous {{Big Bad}}s were sent running to the M51 Galaxy. And then the new villain, Divatox came along, and... she's a space pirate in a submarine. It's a bit of a letdown from "Interstellar Empire".
** In terms of the powers themselves, we went from ancient animals to the abilities of the ninja, to a crystal explicitly stated to be growing more powerful over time... to some sort of car-based powers with no explanation.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Notes this about Divatox. She's supposed to be a pirate and she keeps saying she's trying to TakeOverTheWorld, as opposed to "stealing things" like a pirate is supposed to.
* PoorMansSubstitute[[invoked]]: Invokes this trope when he refers to Divatox as "Rita-lite".
* RageBreakingPoint: Throughout the first half of the review, Linkara is mostly annoyed at certain replacements (such as Dimitria and Alpha 6) but otherwise never exactly yells out these changes (aside from the unexplained reason why the Zeo Powers were pushed aside for the Turbo Powers). It's only when the four veteran rangers decide to give their powers to four new people that he has enough and breaks into a rant-inducing slight.
* ReplacementScrappy[[invoked]]: Except for T.J., he feels that none of the new Rangers are worthy to become Power Rangers, as T.J. is the only one who really embodies what a Ranger should be. Cassie was kind of selfish in the beginning, while Ashley and Carlos had little to no interaction with their predecessors to justify why they were chosen to be Rangers. It doesn't help that in his introductory episode, Carlos showed that he had problems with teamwork. That said, he does warm up to them over time, as mentioned in CharacterizationMarchesOn.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]:
** He acknowledges the problems inherent with Justin but finds the character himself well-written: observant, enthusiastic, and overall a valuable member of the team. What he takes issue with is the premise itself: [[KidAppealCharacter that young fans need a kid their own age]], because boys can't relate to people who aren't their age. This, of course, ignores the fact that fans never seemed to have any problem relating to the "[[DawsonCasting teenagers with attitude]]" from the first three seasons. He does however agree that plots revolving around Justin aren't very good, but that's not the same thing as him being a bad character, and is also amused to note that Justin seems like a Marty Stu simply because he was the only character who was ''actually written competently''.
** On the other hand, he seems to harbor particular dislike towards Alpha 5's replacement, Alpha 6. He also finds Dimitria annoying for her schtick of presenting questions rather than answers but admits she got better later on, and he doesn't seem to have as much of a problem with Alpha 6 once ''In Space'' starts... though it probably helped that they removed the Jive-Talk voice.
** Likewise hates Divatox, calling her "Rita-lite", not liking the theme of her being a space pirate as he feels it wasn't as threatening as the previous villains and doesn't even find her antics amusing.
** Elgar, Divatox's [[TheDragon Dragon]]. At one point he says that he "hates him more than he hates Divatox", which is really saying something. At no other point in the series (as of the production of ''Operation Overdrive'') has he ''ever'' sounded so happy that a bad guy got killed as when the Z-Wave turned him to dust.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork[[invoked]]: In the updated version of the review, he suggests that Saban should have used footage of an earlier ''Sentai'' series such as ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman''. While ''Jetman''[[note]]or ''[[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Maskman]]'', ''[[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Changeman]]'' or [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman any]] [[Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman other]] post-''Bioman'' [[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman series]] written by Hirohisa Soda, for that matter - ironically, one of those seasons would've been the (at the time) other car-themed Sentai, ''Series/KousokuSentaiTurboranger''[[/note]] definitely would have been practical for the DarkerAndEdgier plot they were trying to go for with ''Turbo''[[note]]this is mainly due to the fact that it wasn't until ''Zyuranger'' that the franchise tried an outright LighterAndSofter tone; prior to that, most Sentai were either DarkerAndEdgier or middle of the road[[/note]], the problem is that Saban was contractually prevented from doing so - Saban was not allowed to skip a Sentai series as a result of their deal with Toei, and the contract was for ''Zyuranger'' onwards[[note]]and even if Saban ''had'' convinced Toei to let them skip ''Carranger'' right away, they would've simply been delaying adapting it, meaning that if it wasn't adapted for ''Turbo'', they would've had to adapt ''Carranger'' for ''In Space''[[/note]].
* SeasonalRot[[invoked]]: The prior Ranger seasons had fairly strong themes regarding change, evolution, and victory, but almost from the beginning this season was plagued with a lack of explanation for the new powers, radical changes of characters, a step backward in villain quality, and overall no real theme or direction that the other seasons had.
-->'''Linkara''': [...] But this season?! It's... cars versus a space pirate in a submarine, and then later a giant rubber band ball! ''I don't get it!''
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]:
** Linkara considers General Havoc this. He points out that General Havoc is competent, calculating, and took his defeats without whining about them, unlike Divatox, and states that he believes Havoc would've made for a far better BigBad than her.
** He also expresses disappointment that Divatox's other general, Rygog, wasn't her primary henchman over the far more annoying comedic villain, Elgar. While he does admit that due to Rygog's bulky costume he probably couldn't move around and fight as easily as Elgar, he stands firm that at least Rygog had a legitimately intimidating design.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]:
** While he hates the Turbo powers and suits by concept, he feels that the season should have at least given ''some'' form of reasoning for switching out the Zeo powers for the Turbo powers to justify the power change like in past seasons. Since there was no reason given, this is in full effect for him.
** Ultimately, Linkara believes that ''Turbo'' should have been the season that introduced the cast to newer struggles, higher stakes, and the rangers growing as young adults now that they graduated high school. Instead, it became the opposite, much to his frustration.
** In his updated review, he considers the decision to adapt ''Carranger'' into a dark series to be this, pointing out that most of the moments that should be tense are ruined by the more comedic footage from ''Carranger'', pointing out that they could have just as easily adapted a series such as ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman'' instead since both ''Carranger'' and ''Jetman'' were shot on film. As noted above, however, that couldn't have happened even if Saban wanted to.
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]: Zigzagged trope. While he still isn't all that fond of ''Turbo'', he admits when he finally comes upon his actual least favorite season of the show (''Operation Overdrive''), that ''Turbo'' did have parts that he liked, such as the season finale, the music and the fight scenes.
** The season finale, in particular, is one that Linkara now considers to be one of the best endings to a ''Power Rangers'' season. Back when he first watched it, he was incredibly divided on it since of all the people who finally could have done the rangers in, it had to be Divatox.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Heroic example. When Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser show up to help the rangers when the Power Chamber is attacked in the finale. He notes that they could easily stop the army of Piranatrons by keeping their distance and shooting them, especially since Lightning Cruiser can fly, and questions why they don't just ''RUN THEM OVER''.[[note]]That would’ve been [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence too brutal]] for a kid’s show especially with MoralGuardians breathing down Saban's necks since day one.[[/note]]
* WTHCostumingDepartment: Linkara makes it clear that he ''really'' hates the Turbo suits and the entire car theme they have, such as the chrome lining on the visors (especially in Tommy's case as his helmet has two smaller areas under his visor that bug Linkara to no end).[[invoked]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers In Space'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles do not believe in the Power Rangers, claiming that they are "Pretend" and "Imaginary." Barring the fact that Angel Grove has monster-preparedness drills and evacuation plans, and that the rangers had been on TV before, or that monster attacks frequently made the news, the point is again made: These are Teenaged Mutated reptiles who train in the art of ninjitsu. Even if that wasn't enough, the people they're talking to are Astronema and Elgar, ''who are space aliens. '''And the Turtles know this.'''''
* AuthorsSavingThrow: In the revised review, Linkara feels that the more serious nature of the season, along with having the Rangers act alone with no mentor, was ''way'' better handled than what ''Turbo'' tried. [[invoked]]
* TheChessmaster: Notes that Astronema is easily the most competent villain up to this point in the franchise, avoided the same petty plans that other villains did and kept her eye either on defeating the rangers or causing destruction.
* ChewingTheScenery: While he praises Astronema for being a genuinely intimidating villain, he laments the fact that especially in the earlier episodes the producers ''really'' had her chewing the scenery. He even shows clips of some of her more hammy line deliveries in the rerelease of his ''In Space'' review subtitled with "Oscar Bait".
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In the revised video, Linkara notes that Lieutenant Stone, Principal Caplan, and Ms. Appleby are no longer around as the showrunners had no more ideas for them. Personally, Linkara doesn't mind this as it adds to the Rangers growing more as young adults, especially with the recurring plot of trying to look for Zordon.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Linkara mentions that the broken Mastadon Power Morpher Adam still had opened a lot of potential that destroyed powers can be rebuilt and brought back, given that the latter was still able to morph with the wrecked morpher. This would lead to future crossovers where some of the Rangers regained their powers despite losing them.
* FreeRangeChildren: Notes the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness of the writers of the show trying to create plotlines revolving around the Rangers still being in High School, since the Rangers were also shown being very busy in their duties as Rangers and trying to locate Zordon. He even questions outright where their parents ''think'' they are since they are obviously not going home. That being said, he was glad when the show just dropped the High School thing altogether partway through the season.
* GrandFinale: As Linkara mentioned, production went into ''In Space'' believing that it would be the final season for Power Rangers and went and did everything to make it a thrilling conclusion. A more dynamic storyline, closure on some loose ends ''Turbo'' had, bringing back Adam and the Black Mighty Morphin Ranger Powers since ''Zeo'', and an ending to Bulk and Skull's character development. While it ended up not being the true ending to ''Power Rangers'' as a whole, Linkara feels that it's a perfect end to the ''Zordon Era'', and one that was a perfect closure to a childhood television show.
* HumanAliens: Linkara finds it weird that Andros is an alien from KO-35 that just so happens to be human (for the record, Andros says outright he's human, not an alien species like [[MesACrowd Trey from Triforia]] or the [[FishPeople Aquitians]] who ''look'' mostly human but clearly have different biology).
* IAmSpartacus: Rarely does Linkara show full scenes seriously, but he features Bulk and Skull's shining moment in its entirety.
* InMemoriam: In the revised review, Linkara replaced the Under Pressure montage with a somber montage of all the times Zordon imparted his wisdom, and shots of all the Ranger teams during the Zordon Era.
* PragmaticAdaptation: At the beginning of the review, Linkara notes that the production crew looked at ''Denji Sentai Megaranger'' and believed that the Sentai was going to be spaced themed... except they later learned that ''Megaranger'' was an electronic themed Sentai that just so happened to have space-themed zords. Since the show was going to be cancelled after this season anyway, the crew decided to go with the space idea. And based on how successful the season was, it worked out spectacularly!
* PlotParallel: He describes how the episode "Wasp With a Heart" is essentially Astronema's story arc told in one episode.
* PsychoRangers: Is very pleased to see the TropeNamers that finally gave us a team of evil Power Rangers that weren't just random villains.
* PropRecycling[[invoked]]: In the revised review, Linkara notes that the new Surf Shack is actually a modified set of the old Juice Bar area. Although that begs the question ''why'' they did not keep the Juice Bar.
** Linkara also notes that Dark Specter's monster suit is a reused Malagor from "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie". He even calls Dark Specter Malagor a few times in the review.
* PutOnABus: Notes that after [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster]] are saved by the Rangers they just disappear and are never heard from again, even though they likely would have been very useful to keep around.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap[[invoked]]:
** While Linkara wasn't nearly as hateful towards Justin as regular fans, he admitted that "True Blue to the Rescue", Justin's last appearance in the franchise, was an [[ADayInTheLimelight excellent episode]] showcasing all the good points of the character while also resolving hanging elements from ''Turbo''.
** He is also happy with the new voice chip and personality given to Alpha 6, considering the change an improvement over the annoying faux jive-talk of the previous season.
* TakeThatScrappy[[invoked]]: Multiple times to Elgar. He replays the scene where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kick him out of the way multiple times while laughing and crowing "That's for Zordon's energy tube, you cone-headed freak!"
* TheUntwist[[invoked]]: Notes that Astronema being Karone is pretty obvious by the time it's revealed.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: Talks about how this season ([[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy and the next one]], for that matter) planned on finally resolving the mystery regarding the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Phantom Ranger]], but that the story arc had to be scrapped. In the revised review, he mentions that Judd Lynn wrote a scene where the Phantom Ranger's identity was to be revealed, but it was scrapped when the finale became a two-parter instead of the intended three-parter. Even more interesting, Linkara says that Shuki Levy suggested that the Phantom Ranger was the spirit of the past Rangers that fell in battle, a concept he finds both stupid and awesome.
* WinBackTheCrowd: [[invoked]] After noting ''Turbo'' almost killed a struggling franchise, ''In Space'' was planned to be the GrandFinale to the series. But it was just ''so'' grand it brought the fans back in droves, and the series continued.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Lost Galaxy'']]
* AlasPoorVillain: Admits that scene with Trakeena watching Scorpious die manages to be a good TearJerker despite Scorpious mostly being a generic villain.
--> '''Linkara:''' "[...] it almost makes you forget that one of them is wearing a bug on her head and the other is a [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles tentacle hentai monster]]..."
* AngstWhatAngst[[invoked]]: One issue he takes with Maya's character. She barely reacts to her homeworld being turned to stone from that point on. Not that Linkara thinks there's anything wrong with having an upbeat personality, but it comes off as being in denial of what happened to her planet rather than someone who just managed to move on with a positive outlook following a tragedy.
* ArcFatigue[[invoked]]: Has this feeling about the Lights of Orion arc, feeling that it went on too long and was only saved by the presence of the [[AntiHero Magna Defender]].
* BizarreHumanBiology: After Karone's [[SwissArmyTears tears heal]] a [[TakenForGranite man she previously turned to stone]] (and after Andros's tears healed Karone in ''In Space''), Linkara just gives up trying to rationalize it and just assumes all [[HumanAliens humans from KO-35]], in addition to [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]], have magic healing tears.
* CannonFodder: Dislikes the Stingwingers, not only for their uninteresting design and lack of personality but also because they were completely ineffective. Even the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Piranhatrons]] could be a threat in a large group, whereas Stingwingers always died in droves. The only time the Stingwingers were even ''kind of'' effective was when they had [[SuicideAttack bombs strapped to their chests]], but even then Linkara points out the Galaxy Rangers tanked a few of their explosions with little damage.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Notes that [[SixthRanger Zhane]] is the only Ranger from ''In Space'' who’s absent from the team-up episodes, joking that he’s “probably just making out with Karone somewhere.”
* ContrivedCoincidence: Shakes his head over the fact the caves for the Lights of Orion happen to have already been on the Lost Galaxy space station since it would require the viewer to not only assume to build the station they took entire chunks of the Earth and put them in a dome, but that one of those chunks just happened to include a fully intact cave that housed a millennia-old artifact inside of it.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Kendrix's death. Complete with a brief shot of his reaction.
* EvilVirtues: He notes that the season's theme was virtuous villains, such as the [[NobleDemon chivalrous]] Villamax and the [[UndyingLoyalty undyingly loyal]] [[IronicName Treacheron]].
* HesBack: As mentioned directly above, Linkara rarely shows entire scenes, but decides to do so due to the sheer epic of the PsychoRangers' return.
* HilariousInHindsight: [[invoked]] Karone becoming the Pink Ranger was mirrored with Astronema's statement in the previous season "I wouldn't want to be a Power Ranger anyway!"
* TheMentor: Like In Space, Linkara says there is no mentor to the team. Though in the updated review, Linkara says that Commander Stanton is one to Kai as he teaches the latter not to be too rigid in the rules.
* MissingEpisode: In the updated version, Linkara mentions the unused script that would have featured Cassie protecting the Astro Megaship ala Die Hard. However, Linkara does ask why they did not rewrite the script to feature another character.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Praises that even though Captain Mutiny is a GenericDoomsdayVillain, he, unlike Divatox, is actually a subversion is the trope and acts like an actual pirate.
* PlotHole: Linkara does [[DiscussedTrope point out the fact]] that Scorpius and his minions somehow avoided destruction at the hands of [[WorldHealingWave Zordon's energy wave]] with no explanation, but just assumes these particular evil forces were outside of the wave's effects.
* PostScriptSeason: While some people consider Lost Galaxy to be a standalone season, Linkara feels that it's an epilogue season to the Zordon Era based on multiple things: characters from previous seasons that make appearances, continuity that appeared with respect, and showing that the legacy of the Power Rangers is still around.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Riding off the success of In Space, the production crew decided to do another space opera-themed season with the ''Seiju Sentai Ginagman'' (which was nature-themed).

** Linkara notes that the Terra Venture security suits are from Starship Troopers.
** At the beginning of the revised ''Lightspeed Rescue'' review, Linkara says that some fans told him that the Magna Defender Morpher was the Aura Changer from ''Dairanger''. He did not feel to mention it in the review because it had no bearing in Power Rangers and it did not affect production at all.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Notes that this is the reason for Kendrix's HeroicSacrifice; Valerie Vernon was diagnosed with leukemia and had to leave the show to undergo treatment (she got better, and is currently still alive; she wanted to come back for the 20th anniversary, but couldn't sort out arrangements to look after her children, which is Heartwarming in itself.).
* RookieRedRanger: Discusses this in regards with Leo. Linkara notes that some parts of Leo's rash behavior stemmed more from the guilt of Mike's supposed death and when the latter came back, he felt unworthy of staying as the Red Ranger because Mike pulled the Quasar Saber out of the stone instead of himself. However, Leo did grow more as the season continued and proved to be worthy as the Red Ranger when he defeated Trakeena in the end.
* SixthRanger: Discussed- Linkara, like some fans, doesn't see the Magna Defender as a full Sixth Ranger.
* SpecialEffectFailure[[invoked]]: Continuously refers to the planet of Miranoi and its people being [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]] as an "Adobe Photoshop Filter" due to how poor the effect looks.
* StunnedSilence: His response to Kendrix's death.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: How he feels about the Lost Galaxy arc. It started of strong, but soon petered into filler episodes.
* TrainingMontage: Trakeena's training sequence, along with "You're the Best" from ''Film/TheKarateKid1984'' playing, as he said that it was just "begging to be supplied with an 80's song."
* TroubledProduction[[invoked]]: Makes a note that the series was apparently a nightmare behind the scenes, particularly around the Lights Of Orion Saga. Episodes and scripts were apparently struggling to reach completion in time for the show to go to air on schedule.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]:
** Notes that it was originally planned to have Cassie taking Kendrix's place, but Patricia Ja Lee walked off when she discovered she was going to be paid significantly less per episode than the rest of the cast. The updated review went into more detail on why that happened. According to some sources Linkara found, Valerie Vernon would still be paid as a full-time cast member despite leaving the show in order to help pay for her chemo treatments. Whether or not Saban did it out of goodwill or out of fear of a lawsuit is unknown to Linkara.
** Also says that many ideas were thrown around at the beginning with the writers about just what would happen; one of the big ideas was that the whole ''show'' would take place in the "Lost Galaxy," which would have justified the title of the series better.
** At the beginning of the revised Lightspeed review, Linkara states that the original plan was to have Scorpius as the final boss, but it was scrapped when the puppet proved to be too difficult to move.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: The lady in the ''[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]]'' {{Crossover}}: "There is no such thing as monsters," who got the award for "Dumbest Person in ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' EVER".
** Specifically, the woman claimed this in the first series in the franchise where the rangers are publicly known figures, have no secret identities, and frequently fight monsters out in the open. Oh, and this also happened in the team-up episode, where it's made clear that this season is canon with all previous ones- ''including the one where aliens nearly took over the entire planet were it not for the Rangers' intervention.''
* AwesomeButImpractical: Discusses this a bit with the Titanium Ranger, the first American-created Power Ranger. Even though he notes they couldn't do much with him as it would mean shooting a lot of original footage for him, he's still glad that they did create a ranger without being tied down to the Sentai footage too much.
* {{Awesome McCoolName}}: The Omega Megazord, which Linkara says is "the most freaking awesomest name for a Megazord ever!"
* ContinuityNod: Calls back to ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]'' when he jokes that Lightspeed's Humvee is actually Tankenstein.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Linkara's main problem with the series, the villains aren't very interesting. Notes that it feels a little worse than it might be, as the two previous seasons (''In Space'' and ''Lost Galaxy,'') had villains with ''very'' strong characterization, from Astronema to Trakeena. He also notes that except for the invasion of Lightspeed's headquarters at the end, the villains never really won major victories against the Rangers.
* MemeticBadass[[invoked]]: Carter Grayson. TheTag shows Carter shooting a monster at close range with two {{BFG}}s and the resulting explosion takes out a shipping yard, with the subtitle "The Lesson: Don't Screw with Carter Grayson." He frequently jokes in later videos that this is what Carter would have done with a monster the current Rangers are afraid of, or that when the Rangers try an attack that doesn't work that it would have worked if Carter had been the one doing it.
* MerchandiseDriven: Like many seasons, he points out that the Rangers get new weapons (toys to sell to kids) every other episode... but says it ''makes sense'' in this particular series. These Power Rangers were created by a military institution, so, logically, they would continue to develop new weapons regularly for the Rangers.
* RevisitingTheRoots: After two seasons of space odysseys, ''Lightspeed Rescue'' felt very reminiscent of ''Mighty Morphin''' especially in its return to MagicVersusScience as a major theme, and the SixthRanger saga feeling a lot like "Green With Evil" (but in a good way).
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]: States that the villains of the season weren't all that interesting, but he loathes Vypra the most because of the actress' terrible performance.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: His main criticism of the "Trakeena's Revenge" team-up, the episode focuses mostly on the little girl whose parents were kidnapped and not the Rangers. If it were from a filler episode, Linkara would have no problem with the little girl, but he does feel that the team-up special was stapled onto an existing script.
* TroubledProduction[[invoked]]: While Lightspeed Rescue did not have any major problems in the long run, Linkara notes that there were some problems behind the scenes in "Trakeena's Revenge". Specifically, Danny Slavin left after initial filming after finding out that it would focus on a girl rather than the team-up story. His role would be filled in by another actor for dubbing and additional shots. Likewise, Amy Miller, the actress for Trakeena, walked off the set before filming began for the same reasons, so another actress was brought on and a mask was placed on Trakeena to cover the switch.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]: He shows disappointment that no one tries to fix the problems with the Cyborg Rangers to provide backup, even though that would have been a pretty good idea.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: Claims to have heard this season was originally going to be another space opera like ''In Space'' and ''Lost Galaxy'', but for one reason or another was changed to take place back on Earth, instead. Linakra is okay with it as the space idea was getting stale.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Carter's "Thumbs up" victory pose being interrupted by a not quite defeated Bansheera was a deliberate CallBack to ''[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]]'' when that was the end of the fight.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Time Force'']]
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: In the re-release, he suggests that Jen's claim of how people tried to help Ransik but he turned them away could have been influenced by prejudice and indotornation that exist in the future and how "helping them (mutants)" could have meant "forced labour camps away from normal humans". He does also note that there is no evidence of this and Jen could have been telling the truth that Ransik rejected true efforts to help him, but that it was something that could have been worth exploring.
* AntiClimaxBoss[[invoked]]: Notes this about the end of the team-up, the rangers just fire a bunch of weapons and kill Vypra and her monster.
* AntiVillain: He discusses fandom's perception of Ransik as this. It's pointed out that Ransik himself was not that sympathetic; he has a sympathetic ''backstory'', but his general actions in the main story were awful. Most of Ransik's claims of mutant oppression didn't hold up in all the various flashbacks, after being attacked by his own kind and rescued by a human (and repaying said kindness with hatred). Still, he is shown to care for Nadira, and that is what fueled his eventual redemption.
* AuthorsSavingThrow: In the re-release episode, Linkara considers ''Time for Lightspeed'' a do over of ''Trakeena's Revenge''. While both episodes had a similar structure (return of a previous villain, the previous Red Ranger being with the current team for most of the crossover, and the two factions on both sides teaming up), ''Time for Lightspeed'' edges out because it had a little more focus on the villains and the previous team. Plus, no little girl to take up too much of the plot.
* CharacterDerailment[[invoked]]: Despite being a well-written season overall, Linkara notes several characters change with no explanation. Eric starts as being cold and rude, but mellows out towards the other Rangers halfway through the season for some unknown reason, Alex was a heroic Red Ranger when the season started, but then turned into a "douche-nozzle" when he came back from the future, and Katie spends one episode paralyzed in fear that her actions in the past will alter the future and cause her to lose her family, but in a subsequent episode is sent back to the 1900s where she happily changes small things without worry. Granted, this was because some of the episodes aired out of order, but still.
* CharacterDevelopment: Admits that this is one of the series strong points. Not all the characters get ''a lot'' of development, but there ''is'' development and it is handled well, being done gradually and realistically, best displayed with Jen and Eric. He points out his issue with Lucas however is that he ''doesn't'' develop, rather he remains a FlatCharacter.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Notes that this does help make Ransik more than a generic villain in that we see a bunch of moments where he does care about Nadira, noting the overall goofy filler when she has a crush on Lucas in which Ransik lets her see him rather than trying to kill him.
* FlatCharacter: His dislike of Lucas mainly stems from him being the least developed character amidst the Rangers, and that most of his personality traits are superficial, focused more on looking cool and his driving. Add on his rather flat acting and Lucas doesn't leave a good impression.
* HypeBacklash[[invoked]]:
** While he thought ''[[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]'' itself was a very good series, he didn't find Ransik as sympathetic as everyone said.
** The two-parter with the Rangers stuck in movie scenarios also didn't impress him much, including the reference to Vernon Wells' past role in ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior''. He largely glossed it over, feeling it was just filler.
** ''Time Force'' itself fell into this for Linkara - while he admitted it was a great season, the amount of hype he'd heard from fans made him concede that he still preferred ''In Space''.
* InMemoriam: In the re-release version, Linkara mentions ''Ciruit Unsure'' both for its foreshadowing events leading to the finale, and that it was a dedication to Thuy Trang (Trini) who was killed in a car accident when the season was airing.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: At Power Morphicon 2010, actor Vernon Wells (who played ''Time Force'' BigBad Ransik) called Lewis a jackass. Turns out it was totally innocuous and meant in jest--Lewis was doing his best to remain low-key and inconspicuous during a panel when his own cameraman pointed him out to everyone. After Wells asked about this, Lewis said he was not making a big deal out of who he (Lewis) was because he did not want to look like a jackass, to which Wells cheerfully replied "Okay, jackass, what's your question?" This was referenced in the revision episode.
* OutOfOrder[[invoked]]: The series made a conscious effort towards strong CharacterDevelopment, where switching around character-based {{filler}} episodes disrupted Katie's development. One episode had her scared to do anything out of fear of changing the timeline while a later episode had her gleefully changing the past when transported to the early 1900's.
* ShowDontTell: One of his biggest gripes with this season is that the Rangers are ''told'' that what they're doing in the year 2001 is severely altering the future, but they never actually ''show'' what those alterations are.
* ShowWithinAShow: At one point, Linkara notices that Nadira was watching ''Masked Rider'' on tv, which leads to a humourous thought in the re-edited version. Either Dex defeated Count Dregon off-screen and sold the rights of his story for a tv series, or the events of ''Masked Rider'' were not canon to Power Rangers and only the events of "A Friend in Need" were, leading Zordon to sell the rights to a tv network.
* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: Linkara identifies this as the CentralTheme of ''Time Force'', the Rangers fighting their fate as dictated by the future vs. the free will to make their own life choices. Although ... Linkara does point out this theme is a little flawed due to the season [[ShowDontTell never revealed what the consequences from changing the future were]] exactly.
* TragicMonster: While he doesn't consider Ransik sympathetic, he agrees that Frax is this.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic[[invoked]]: Provides the page quote when he discusses Ransik, while he does have a sympathetic backstory, his actions and behavior undermine that sympathetic backstory, particularly him killing Dr. Fericks when Fericks was a humble scientist who saved Ransik's life out of the goodness of his heart. He does agree that Frax is a sympathetic villain, however.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Several according to Linkara:
** Originally, Alex was to be the Quantum Ranger and he and Wes would be played by twins. However, that did not happen and Linkara felt it was for the best.
** The writers flip-flopped over killing Eric off like his Sentai counterpart and filmed two different versions of the final scene in case Fox Kids allowed Eric to die.
** Because the cast got along so well, there were talks about shooting another season of Time Force or a movie. However, due to the impending [=SAG=] Strike, and the expensive costs Time Force had when filming certain scenes, the idea was scrapped.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Wild Force'']]
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: He calls Animus, BigGood [[FirstChurchOfMecha in giant robot form]], an Eco-Terrorist who talks as though he wants to attack humans for harming the environment, and even if it is a SecretTestOfCharacter, taking the Rangers' powers away pretty much dooms the Earth.
* {{Anvilicious}}: [[invoked]] He was not impressed with the very heavy-handed environmental messages, and had no love for Animus as described above. However, it should be noted he only hated the GreenAesop for being heavy-handed in said Animus arc specifically, he says that otherwise, the season wasn't ''too'' bad with it.
* ArcFatigue[[invoked]]: While the Zen-Aku Arc really wasn't ''that'' long, it was just so repetitive (Zen-Aku defeats the Rangers and steals a Zord, and nothing is learned about the character) that he got bored with it, especially when compared to how dynamic his favorite SixthRanger Arc, "Green With Evil", was able to be despite being made at a time when kid's shows really didn't have multi-episode arcs.
* ChannelHop: While Linkara did mention it briefly in the original review, he goes more into detail in the re-edited version. With Disney buying ''Power Rangers'' as part of their acquisition of the Fox Family Worldwide Company, ''Wild Force'' is technically the first of the Disney Era seasons. However, Linkara notes that it was in pre-production before the acqusition and some aspects of filming, casting and production crew, make it feel like a tranaitional phase to next season.
* ContinuityNod: While it serves as a stark contrast to the martial arts used by the other Rangers, he liked how Carter's unmorphed fight scene was largely just shooting the Cogs, as that was what ''[[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Lightspeed Rescue]]'' was all about.
* CriticalBacklash[[invoked]]: He said that, while inferior to ''Time Force'', ''Wild Force'' was nowhere near as bad as the Internet said.
* {{Crossover}}:
** While almost every season has a team-up with the previous team, he specifically points to "Reinforcements From The Future" as the absolute best team-up episode that he's seen thus far (as of ''Operation Overdrive''), noting that not only were the fights excellent, the character interactions were great, music was superb (even commenting that the "horrible singing" that he had criticized Shayla for managed to sound pretty good once remixed), and most importantly, it continued the story of ''both Time Force'' and ''Wild Force''.
** Likewise, he was pleased with "Forever Red", how it got nearly every previous Red Ranger actor back (Along with a Bulk and Skull cameo), character interaction between them, and showcasing their different fighting styles during the climax. Though does show annoyance at the fact it was hampered in its potential because Disney wouldn't give the special more budget to make it into a two-parter as the producers wanted. [[labelnote:explanation]]The initial idea for a climax was to use previous Zords in the final battle against Serpenterra but Disney balked at it since it was showcasing figures that had long stopped being made into toys and they didn't see any profit to be made from it, plus they were also not thrilled about doing another two-part crossover since "Reinforcements from the Past" was pretty expensive to produce as well. Bandai had to step in and foot the rest of the money for the special, but on the condition, they showcase a new toy, the cycle Cole uses to destroy Serpenterra.[[/labelnote]]
* DawsonCasting[[invoked]]: While certainly not the only season to cast adult actors as teenagers (this is actually ''very'' common), Linkara notes that the actors in ''Wild Force'' looked about college-age, but the content seemed more suited for Rangers still in junior high, or even middle school.
* EasilyForgiven: When Shayla [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath tries to convince Dr. Viktor Adler/Master Org to stop being evil]], she mentions that Cole already forgave Dr. Adler for murdering his parents ... seriously confusing Linkara since said forgiveness ''[[PlotHole never happened]]'' (on-screen, anyway). In the remastered version, Linkara states that while Cole did refuse to kill Dr. Adler, it wasn't really forgiveness as much as not wanting to go down the same path of revenge he did.
* EditedForSyndication[[invoked]]: When the video was reposted on [=YouTube=], the opening section addressing schedule-related complaints was removed since it didn't stop people from pestering him about the schedule and the information was outdated anyway.
* ElephantInTheRoom: In the beginning of the re-edited version, Linkara brings up the Ricardo Medina Jr. stabbing incident and how the latter was incarcerated for voluntary manslaughter for a few years. While it had no bearings on production of ''Wild Force'' or even ''Samurai'' as the incident happened years after those seasons aired, Linkara decided to address it because if he did not, people would have asked him. He even refers to it as the "Mastadon in the Room".
* ExecutiveMeddling[[invoked]]: Notes that this is what caused "Forever Red" to be shorter, Disney not being interested in funding the episode that they only saw as just promoting a bunch of toys that weren't sold anymore, which sadly prevented a planned battle with a bunch of old Zords taking on Serpentera.
* FanService: Compared to "Once A Ranger" and ''Megaforce'' as a whole, Linkara considers "Forever Red'' to be the one to do this correctly. It answered long unanswered questions, brought back multiple red rangers (minus Rocky due to RealLifeWritesThePlot), some small references that long-time fans could recognize, and had great fight scenes that showed the evolution from MMPR to this point.
* GreenAesop: In the rerelease, Linkara elaborates on what he feels the problem with the show's environmental theme is - an extreme lack of nuance due to being oversimplified for the target audience, combined with fall out from bad pop culture and pop-science ideas from [[TheNineties The 90's]] about nature's apparent "perfection". This results in the show, in his view, taking an almost reverential attitude towards its own subject matter without offering any solutions to the issue aside from "don't pollute", ultimately leaving it with nothing of actual substance to say.
** This gets especially frustrating to him during the Animus/Kite arc, when Kite starts ranting about how much damage humans are doing to the environment. The Rangers can't seem to think of any rebuttal other than "humans don't mean to pollute, it's a byproduct of progress", and even end up ''agreeing'' with him that humans aren't doing enough to protect nature, forgetting to address such things as conservation groups and alternative energy sources. Animus' own actions are ''even worse'', since taking the Wild Zords away [[NiceJobbreakingItHero effectively dooms humanity and nature both to destruction at the hands of the Orgs]].
* HandWave:
** Ransik being healed of his mutation made no sense, "But hey, I like a happy ending."
** His answer to how Bulk and Skull were reunited is "SHUT UP AND DON'T QUESTION IT! BULK AND SKULL ARE BACK!"
* InternalHomage: Even if unintentional, he loved the ''Wild Force'' Power Ranger suits (especially the helmets) for being very reminiscent of the original ''Mighty Morphin''' suits.
* ItsWhatIDo: Of a sort. He actively wondered why he got so many people asking if he was going to cover "Forever Red" when such a thing is ''the very premise'' of the video series.
* KidAppealCharacter: Theorizes that ''Wild Force'' was made to appeal to ''really'' little kids, as the season was wrought with child actors ([[BadBadActing all of them terrible, in Linkara's opinion]]).
* TheLoad: Shayla, who he rants does nothing besides getting kidnapped.
** He actually criticizes her about this later on, near the end, when she ''does'' fight back when a kidnapping attempt is made on her, claiming that she's not weak. He does this since, well, why would she suddenly be competent ''now'' when all those other times would have been really useful for her to not be kidnapped?
* MoodWhiplash: While the [[SixthRanger Zen-Aku]] story arc had its faults, Linkara at least liked how serious the story felt ... until it was just suddenly concluded by the Rangers getting two new Zords with the power of ''soccer'', complete with a badly rendered CG-soccer stadium.
* TheMagicGoesAway: Really annoyed by this ending. Shayla's ButNowIMustGo didn't bother him so much but since, among other things, it means the Wild Force Rangers have so far ''never'' gotten their jackets and morphers back and it's entirely possible that none of them except Max and Danny ever saw each other again, he's still displeased about this while doing the next review. Whilst ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'' would later show this wasn't the case, the ''Wild Force'' review was made several years before ''Megaforce'' began.
* NatureIsNotNice: Frustrated with the show perpetuating the idea of the natural world being a harmonious utopia, Linkara brings up kudzu, cogon grass and privet - highly invasive and destructive plants - as an example of how nature can be the total opposite.
* SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove: [[invoked]] His general assessment; certain things could be better, but overall, there's a lot to love in this season.
* PlotHole: Is confused by the lack of explanation for where the Orgs originally came from if Animaria was so harmonious with nature and seemingly didn't pollute. There's also the awkward fact that the people would have ''needed'' to use nature for food, clothing etc., making Shayla's statement of everyone "respecting the importance of nature" confusing and frustrating.
* PropRecycling: [[invoked]]
** Notes that the Mut-Orgs from "Reinforcements From The Future" were actually from old costumes, even noting they were reusing old costumes by that point.
** Linkara does not hide the fact that the Machine Empire Generals from "Forever Red" used the suits from ''Series/BigBadBeetleborgs'', even referring to them as the Beetleborgs for that episode.
** In the re-edited version, Linkara sees that the armor from the Animarium Warriors are parts from the Quantrons.
* RookieRedRanger: Finds it odd that Cole is made the leader of the group since he's the newest member. Linkara also finds the explanation for this, that 'the lion is the king of the jungle and so Cole is the leader because his Zord is the lion', very unsatisfying.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]: Lewis showed a special dislike for Animus/Kite, noted above, as he takes the Wild Zords away thus leaving humans defenseless against the Orgs & ignoring that there are humans that try to help the environment to justify his actions, and also noting that his offer to go another world wasn't extended to Shayla and that he's [[JerkSue never called out on his actions]]. Linkara was especially frustrated that the rangers actually agreed with him that they weren't doing enough for the planet despite all their efforts to it keep safe from pollution and that the rangers' devotion should not have needed to be tested when Animus revealed it was all a SecretTestOfCharacter. He also points that Animus never took back what he said about humanity.
* ShotForShotRemake: Mentions the depths to which this happened, with the producer even bringing in Japanese directors to work on the show to recreate it. In the case of [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Tropes Are Not Good]], he mentions that this might have contributed to the lower quality acting due to some direction issues since many of the directors didn't even speak English.
* SwissArmyWeapon: While normally having a sword that turns into a gun is an instant-awesome button in Linkara's book, he was not a fan of the Lunar Wolf Ranger's sword that turns into a gun that turns into a pool cue, disliking the overall design for lacking any flash or substance.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]: In the rerelease, Linkara feels that the environmental message, if written with more nuance, could have lead to more interesting educational and storytelling moments. For instance, he floats the idea of talking about how pollution has been a problem since early civilization, even in a supposed utopia like Animaria, as well as how human advancement would always involve exploiting nature to a degree and what humans are doing to try and mitigate the damage. This, he feels, would have helped especially in the later episodes to counter Animus/Kite's preaching about the evils of mass-scale industrial pollution. It would have also, in his mind, provided a convenient explanation for the Org's origins - perhaps metal pollutions from forging armour and weapons could have triggered their evolution.
* TranquilFury: Linkara starts the original release of his review with this while addressing the overly demanding fan base of the series asking for the new episode.
* {{Wangst}}[[invoked]]: Feels this way about Merrick's constant need to distance himself from the other Rangers and seek 'atonement' for his actions as Zen-Aku, since not only have the Rangers and Shayla forgiven him from the start, but Linkara points out the fact it was quite obviously the [[DemonicPossession Wolf Mask]] in the driver's seat, anyway, not Merrick.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]:
** All the possibilities of what became "[[MilestoneCelebration Forever Red]]" are outlined. In the re-edited version, Linkara said that three different scripts were created until Amit Bhaumik wrote the final draft. Some of the planned ideas included a cult wanting to bring back Dark Specter (which would also explain his connection with Maligore from the ''Turbo'' movie), deleted scenes that were trimmed out in the final aired version, and big Megazord fight against Seperentera. Also, had Rocky end up coming on as planned, he would be Tommy's buttler and not a Ranger.
** At the end of the review, Linkara states that ''Wild Force'' was supposed to be the final season as Disney bought the rights to Power Rangers, and intended to end the show with the previous seasons of Power Rangers played as reruns with a lot of other Saban based projects Disney bought. As we know, however, the production crew convinced Disney to keep the series running by moving production to New Zealand which would save them money.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The first thing Linkara notes in the behind the scenes aspect of Forever Red is the absence of Rocky. He explains that Steve Cardenes was apporached to come on, but he was moving at the time and was unable to get back to production when filming began.
* WhatTheHellHero: Calls out Merrick for playing pool with his Power Animal Crystals, which he says is just about the most disrespectful thing you could do with them.
* WildMassGuessing [[invoked]]:
** In the "Forever Red review", Linkara goes through several theories on how some of the older red rangers got their powers back, focusing a bit more on Jason's. There are three possibilities he has laid out:
*** 1) The Sword of Light didn't exactly transfer the powers to Rocky but merely copied them (as evidenced with Jason leaving the command center still morphed).
*** 2) During ''Zeo'', Rocky gave Jason back the damaged Tyrannosaurus Power Coin when Jason came back as the Gold Ranger, and Jason would later find a way to repair the coin (as hinted back from ''In Space'' when Adam used the damaged Mastodon Power Coin).
*** 3) The [[invoked]][[WordOfGod official confirmation]] by Amit Bhuamik is that Jason got a new Power Coin from one of Lord Zedd's Dark Rangers that appeared in the comic book series. Linkara does admit though that may not be plausible given the circumstance of comic continuity to the show.
** On a lighter note, he makes a theory on how Bulk came back to Miranoi and reunited with Skull.

[[folder:''Power Rangers Ninja Storm'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Similar to ''Lightspeed Rescue'', the first episode suggests that it is a ContinuityReboot unrelated to the past seasons, that Power Rangers were fictional or at most an urban legend. This season is eventually tied into the rest of the franchise, so it seems like it's skepticism despite all of the monster attacks and alien invasions over the last decade.
* AssPull[[invoked]]: Kanoi's explanation for why he turned into a guinea pig.
-->"That is not an explanation."
* BadassDecay: Linkara brings up an InUniverse example regarding Lothor. In the time travel episode, it was shown that his past self as Kiya was actually serious, intimidating, and a cool villain, making Linkara question just what happened during his exile to cause him to become such an idiot.
* CoolHelmet: Gives praise to the collapsible mask feature of the helmets since it allows the viewers to see the actors and helps build the idea that the characters are genuinely in the suits and the action, rather than it just being stunt doubles or dubbed over stock footage.
* ContinuityReboot: It was originally assumed that the season would be a reboot of the series, thanks to some comments from early interviews promoting the show and dialogue in the early episodes. However, while it was slated as a "new beginning", it was never outright called a reboot or anything along those lines. Linkara does bring up that it led to some confusion and EarlyInstallmentWeirdness though.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He later notes during ''Dino Thunder'' that though he considers Lothor an incompetent fool who engages in far too much comic relief when he gets into a fight, he's a very powerful combatant.
* DenserAndWackier: He felt this worked to the season's detriment. As the greater focus on comedy and wacky antics from the villain's side made them come across as incompetent and nonthreatening. That, and he didn't really like most of the humor for this season since it resulted in MoodWhiplash.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Talks how the first episode actually failed in this. Linkara gets that the writers were trying to push the whole [[NaiveNewcomer inexperienced]] thing for the three Rangers, but notes they pushed it too far especially in them messing up their first transformation sequence (when said transformations only consists of four words), which makes them come off as borderline incompetent, instead.
* FranchiseOriginalSin: [[invoked]]
** Of a sort, he mentions his disapproval of Ranger's "civilian powers" as it dilutes the need for morphing. But within this season (where the civilian powers started) the premise is of {{ninja}} students and thus having unusual abilities sort of works.
** He brings up in his ''Mystic Force'' video that the "villains must battle the rangers one at a time" excuse for both that series and this one is incredibly stupid, but ''Ninja Storm'' was actively trying to be comedic, so it could get by with that excuse compared to the darker and more serious ''Mystic Force''.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Considers Zurgane this, to a degree. He feels he's the only smart villain in the series and is SurroundedByIdiots, including his boss.
* {{Irony}}: Brings up how funny it is that despite being filmed in New Zealand to save on budget, ''Power Rangers'' is banned there due to the violence of the show.
* MoodKiller: States the show's humor, especially in "Samurai's Journey", could be this.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]:
** Was not a fan of Lothor and his group due to his frequent BreakingTheFourthWall jokes and MoodWhiplash. He openly calls Lothor a "Male Divatox," and shows glee when ''Dino Thunder'' claims that the Thunder Rangers were the biggest threat that the Ninja Rangers, "Thus proving how worthless Lothor was as a villain." though he does admit Lothor was an impressive fighter in his ''Dino Thunder'' review and even compared him favorably to the villains of ''Mystic Force''.
** Linkara also shares a distaste for the Team's mentor, Sensei Kanoi Watanabe. In particular, he questions the generic "wise sayings" that Kanoi gives out as advice (in particular him chastising one of the Rangers for stopping criminals alone, instead of with the group). He also remains confused as to how Kanoi was turned into a hamster in the first place (or how one of Lothor's blasts changed him back to human, for that matter).
* SoundDefect: Notes that this was before they got a handle on the sound quality for ''Power Rangers'', so as a consequence, everyone sounds like they had their microphones way too close to their faces and the audio was put through some abysmal processing.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: He argues that [[HyperCompetentSidekick Zurgane]] would've made for a better BigBad than [[LaughablyEvil Lothor]].
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]: Downplayed in Lothor's case. He still finds him to be a terrible villain but acknowledges him as a great fighter. This inadvertently makes him better than Master Xandred, who spent the entire first season of ''Samurai'' and most of the second as an OrcusOnHisThrone and was never impressive in any case.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: At the beginning of the review, Linkara mentions Amit Bhuamik's "Hexagon" proposal. He ultimately puts it into the AwesomeButImpractical category. While it sounds like the ultimate Power Rangers continuity porn, and the premise sounding a lot like the Justice League, a couple of factors would keep it from actually working.[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Hurricaneger'' was a standalone series with no other teams around (minus crossovers), the show was just starting to move production to New Zealand, and most of the costumes and props were either sold or destroyed when they thought the show was going to be cancelled. Not to mention that doing so would require loads of original footage which they didn't have the budget for.[[/labelnote]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Dino Thunder'']]
* AntiClimax: Admits this the show's main weakness, the conclusion to plots involving its villains tend to be very anti-climatic.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: He interprets Tommy as having been driven to the point of ShellShockedVeteran suffering from a massive identity crisis as a result of his near-decade of fighting evil, identifying himself more as a set of powers than as a person.
** FanWank[[invoked]]: He admits he might be looking too deep into the symbolism behind Tommy's mental battle with his past Ranger selves, but he feels it helps to explain a lot about the character and the whole event.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: He comments on how the four younger Rangers can be seen as a more modern take of the original cast.
** Jason and Connor are both jocks but Jason was a nice guy and smart while Connor is an idiot and a bit of a jerk at first.
** Billy and Ethan are both nerds but Billy was more of the classic stereotype of being socially awkward and into his studies while Ethan is the more modern take with his love of video games and can at least defend himself from bullies.
** Kimberly and Kira are feminine but Kimberly is more of a ValleyGirl at first while Kira is more of a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak.
** Trent's past counterpart is none other than Dr. Oliver himself as former evil brainwashed Rangers before joining the team but while Tommy was immediately accepted, Trent still skirts towards the outside due to hiding info about the main villain.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He notes the "vision from the future" from the bonus ''Dino Thunder'' episode as one for ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD]]''.
* EvilVersusEvil: Lothor vs Mesogog in the "Thunder Storm" team-up, which he feels is better than the fight that occurred with the actual ranger team-up.
* FantasticRacism: Mentions that Mesogog was probably the first villain definitively motivated by this, adding to his quality as BigBad. (Also notes that Ransik technically doesn't count since he seemed more concerned with power rather than actual racism.)
* ForScience: Questions ''why'' Tommy was researching making cybernetic dinosaur clones "unless [you're] planning to become a super-villain." He later references the trope by name in a CallBack to Tommy in the ''Mystic Force'' review.
* HilariousInHindsight: [[invoked]] Notes that Zordon's line back in ''MMPR'''s second season "Too much pink energy is dangerous", became this due to the white dino gem having problems from there being two white rangers.
* IdiotHero: Considers Conner to be this.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He interprets Trent's vision of a superhero as being something like this, explaining that this can be one of the reasons for his refusal to receive help from the other Rangers.
* InformedAbility:
** Linkara inadvertently demonstrates how the trope can become subjective if handled improperly. Trent's artwork is genuinely good and looks professional, but Haley gushes over them a bit too much.
** He was also rather ambivalent towards Kira's musical talent and supposed "artistry", but also admits that it's probably just his taste in music is different.
* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: Linkara's examination of "Fighting Spirit" really drives it home how important that lesson was to Tommy. Tommy has never given up at any point in his Ranger career, so it may seem like an empty Aesop, but going through several periods of gaining and losing powers may have created a level of existential crisis in that he isn't a hero without his powers. The Green Ranger has also almost always represented either regrets or mistakes as a Ranger, so having that Ranger form be his final confrontation was also very symbolic.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: This is his problem with the team-up episodes with ''Ninja Storm''. The Ninja Storm rangers end up solving the hypnosis problem with their teammates and the Dino Thunder Rangers don't do much until the team-up fight near the end.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Notes this as a problem with Zeltrax's character, he doesn't really seem to have a reason for hating Tommy since he had nothing to do with the accident that almost killed him.
* TakeThatScrappy[[invoked]]: Shows ''immediate'' love for Mesogog when one of his first lines is that his attack will be blamed on "That idiot, Lothor."
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: With the White Ranger clone, who is just a FlatCharacter (he doesn't point out that he was created because the white ranger was a villain in most of ''Abaranger'') that didn't do much and felt the plot with him could have been better, like if it had Trent lose his powers when the clone was made.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen[[invoked]]: Mentions that side character Devin was supposed to be the Triassic Ranger, but that idea got scrapped when it was revealed to the production crew that it was a power-up for the red ranger.
* WTHCostumingDepartment[[invoked]]:
** He brings up that he's not really a fan of the Dino Thunder suits, due to the goofy dino-footprint emblems on the center, and the white shapes on the sides not matching the coloring of the black and gold symbols on the chests.
** Linkara shows disbelief at the silver stripe on the ''Mighty Morphin''' Green Rangers' helmet in the episode "Fighting Spirit", especially since the suit was featured in the ClipShow, that mistake really shouldn't have been made. This is brought up again in the ''Megaforce'' review.
** Triassic Ranger outfit was fine for him, but the battlizer mode made it needlessly silly due to the ridiculously huge shoulder-pads and rubber arms.

[[folder:''Power Rangers SPD'']]
* {{Angrish}}: Complains that Gruum's dialogue often comes off like this and he has difficulty understanding it.
* BoringButPractical: States that one of the reasons why he likes it when the rangers pull out their blasters is because of how practical a solution it is. However, he goes into detail about how this (specifically the reliance on special effects through "[[StuffBlowingUp Kalishsplosions]]") can make fights boring, which is a problem for a show that's 75% fight scenes.
* ContinuityNod: Mentions several nods to previous seasons, including a MonsterOfTheWeek coming from [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace KO-35]], one of the trainers in the SPD Academy being an [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Aquitian]], and the [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Blue Senturian]] popping up in a video game the SPD Rangers are playing fighting [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Cyclopter]].
* CreepyGood: An initial problem he had with the rangers outfits at first was that the helmets made them appear evil due to the large visors, even drawing comparisons to the Psycho Rangers.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: Felt that this was a very good way to introduce the villains.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The A-Squad]]. He gives kudos to the writers for not overturning this or {{hand wave}} it off as the result of brainwashing, feeling it was a great plot twist and a nice final challenge to the B-Squad to come into their own as true heroes, though he admits he's it's disappointing that we never learn much about [[spoiler:The A-Squad]] or why they turned evil.
* FanWank[[invoked]]: Discussed, since SPD takes place in the future (and a specific year at that, 2025), and all the fan theories on timing and parentage are discussed, as well as an alternate theory that a timescale in ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' is nearly impossible since the B-Squad's parents were apparently working in Time Force to make powers.
** WildMassGuessing: He attempts to reconcile these issues by theorizing that the Power Rangers universe has different timing, in that a year is not the same length of time as in our universe (he puts the length of a PR year in the ballpark of 700-800 days). He notes that this could be just one of several other differences in the same vein as the moon having earth-like gravity and an atmosphere in the Power Rangers universe.
* FridgeHorror: {{Invoked|Trope}}, he notes that if Sky's father was Wes, that unfortunately means that Wes was killed by Murloc.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: While he liked Grumm as a villain, Linkara notes that he doesn't really have a defining personality outside of being evil.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: How he views the A-Squad & B-Squad, noting that A-Squad are the best of the best and would normally be the characters the story followed, with B-Squad being the characters this would normally apply to.
* LivingProp: As evidenced by his comments when summing up the CharacterDevelopment for the season, he (Much like the ''SPD'' writers) seems to view Sam[=/=]Omega Ranger as this.
--> "Sam... Has no CharacterDevelopment. He's a ball of light. Moving on."
* OneWordTitle: Nitpicks at this aspect, since it doesn't really lead to interesting titles and in some cases leads to outright generic titles since the first and last episodes for this season are ''Beginnings'' and ''Endings'' respectively. This becomes a thing for the rest of the Kalish era since the later seasons would just add one more word to each of their titles.[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Mystic Force'' had two-word titles, ''Operation Overdrive'' had three-word titles, and ''Jungle Fury'' had four-word titles[[/labelnote]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Praises Broodwing for having this as his motivation, noting that it made a refreshing change to the other villains throughout the series, who have mostly had the same goals of conquering something.
* PersonalityPowers: Does a very nice, in-depth look at why the Ranger's civilian powers match their personalities. He also especially praises SPD for making each power something relatively unorthodox and unique (making barriers, phasing through solid objects, energy readings, etc.) instead of something like Dino Thunder's more common and overused set of powers.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Sees SPD as this kind of team done very well.
* ShownTheirWork: When talking about the "Kalishsplosions;" he notes that the person actually responsible for them was Koichi Sakamoto, though he still calls them "Kalishsplosions" since Bruce Kalish would have had to approve of such ideas, as well as the fact that they became particularly prominent in the Kalish era (they have since shown up in ''RPM'' and ''Samurai'').
* SlidingScaleOfVillainEffectiveness: Says that Grumm is higher up on the scale compared with other villains thanks to his use of diversionary tactics to help get what he wants, and even getting an entire team of rangers on his side BY CHOICE.
* StuffBlowingUp: Discussed extensively with "Kalishsplosions", and how this is actually very much an annoyance for its lack of creating suspense and makes the Rangers look weak for being sent into the air by explosions behind them, which have logically missed them. Linkara also notes how it makes the fight scenes BORING, by focusing on explosions instead of the martial arts of past seasons, making the point that you could splice together any random fight scenes & it would be hard to tell that they weren't from the same fight.
** Plus the occasional shots of explosions off to the side, which makes even less sense.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: Comments that Mora is sadly underdeveloped, with the viewer never learning how Grumm found her, why she worked for him or why she hated being a grown-up so much. Didn't help that her final fight in the finale was rushed and was the last we would see of her.
* UnintentionallySympathetic[[invoked]]: He views Syd as this during "Dogged". We're supposed to see her as in the wrong for how she treated R.I.C. in the episode initially, but Linkara brings up that he was a "malfunctioning piece of crap" and was in desperate need of an upgrade.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic[[invoked]]: Since Piggy frequently betrays the rangers and rarely shows remorse (not to mention he had plenty of opportunities to get out of town and lay low if he didn't want to work with Grumm or Broodwing), he finds it too difficult to sympathize with him, especially since the show tries to make him sympathetic and fails.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Power Rangers Mystic Force'']]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Linkara is annoyed by how Nick has trouble believing in magic at the beginning, especially seeing as how he'd seen Udonna use spells to fight Foot Soldiers by that point, not to mention that he's ''just'' observed his other companions transform into Power Rangers.
* BadassCape: Points out the addition of capes to the Rangers' outfits is the biggest change to the ''Mystic Force'' uniforms from past teams. Though he knows [[BrokenBase some fans dislike the idea]], he approves of it, as it fits with the Power Rangers [[SuperheroesWearCapes being superheroes]], and the capes [[CapeSnag aren't long enough to get in the way]] but are still long enough to [[ErmineCapeEffect look regal and cool]].
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: One of the problems he has with this season is that the entire morality runs on this. Characters are either noble good guys or evil monsters with no shades of grey. This effectively makes almost all the characters boring for him.
* ClicheStorm[[invoked]]: Says that one of the biggest things holding back this season is that every plot is just ''so damn'' cliché that you can see the resolution coming from a mile away.
* CompressedVice: He points out how the humans and the forest creatures' distrust of each other only shows up at the very beginning and end of the series.
* CriticalBacklash[[invoked]]: He notes that this series is hugely divisive and understands why some fans dislike it, but states in his opinion, it isn't terrible and feels it's worth watching.
* {{Crossover}}: Expresses his disappointment that there wasn't a crossover with ''SPD'', especially given that ''SPD'' is strictly rooted in science while ''Mystic Force'' is rooted in magic, and would have liked to see that dynamic come into play. Though he does acknowledge that making a crossover between the two would have been difficult given the timeline.
* DecoyProtagonist: Feels this way about the Rangers, who get very little, if any, character growth or focus outside of Nick. Instead, the season focuses on Udonna's family and allies, their backstories participating in the ancient war, and them coming back together to fight again.
* ExecutiveMeddling[[invoked]]: He actually contacted Music/RonWasserman (who'd previously done work for ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'') to get the real story about what happened with this show's theme song. Turns out Wasserman's original version, which is his typically epic work, was turned down because the producers wanted to hop on the rap bandwagon. Wasserman complied, but was quite unsatisfied with the result, and so were they, so they went with another composer. And then they chided Wasserman for putting his first version online, despite never creating a soundtrack album, so it's pretty clear their only problem with it was that he was exposing how stupid they were to reject it.
** Likewise he mentions that Disney wanted to use more magic as they didn't like the frequent physical contact of the show... despite the fact they already had done four PR seasons doing this and should've known by now how action-heavy the series was. [[SarcasmMode Disney, the most kid-friendly and smartest company around.]]
* FanWank[[invoked]]: Mentions that seeing the mystic creatures of the forest moving into civilization to live alongside humans probably contributed a lot to humans and aliens learning to get along easily in the backstory of ''SPD''.
* FlatCharacter: Thinks of the Rangers as this.
** Also has this criticism towards the villains.
* HonorBeforeReason: Linkara's major criticism of Koragg: he talks a good game about being honorable, but he seems to define it more as being a horrible tactician than actually hewing to any chivalric code.
* InNameOnly: Linkara considers ''Mystic Force'' a fantasy story, a sadly generic one, that has Power Rangers in it, rather than a fantasy-themed ''Power Rangers'' series.
* ItsBeenDone: His opinion on the FallenHero[=/=]NobleDemon aspect of Koragg is that previous villains such as Astronema, Villamax, Merrick or Ryan did the story-line before, and not only that, they did it better.
* TheLoad: Subverted, despite making jokes about Udonna getting kidnapped, he states she never felt like this.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Notes he's okay with the Mystic Morphers being this in this instance as they're magic wands disguised as cell phones and thus the mundane part actually makes sense.
* TheScrappy[[invoked]]: Does share the dislike for Nick, calls him out as a DesignatedHero given that he's supposed to be the ChosenOne even though he's no better than the rest of the team and is often the first one to quit when things get hard. He doesn't, however, mention the common criticism of Nick stealing the spotlight (For reasons mentioned below).
* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: A more minor thing that he harps on for this series is that it seems to be more on the side of fate than free will.
* SoundDefect: One aspect of the fight scenes he doesn't like is that when someone kicks something, it makes a laser noise instead of an actual kicking sound.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Notes that the side characters have more focus than the rangers, aside from Nick (and even then, only his mythical heritage is given focus rather than his development as a ranger). He goes further to say that the ultimate conflict between good and evil here is nearly superfluous to the Rangers themselves, and just feels like "All the people who fought the last war trying to get together to finish what they started."
* SupportingProtagonist: Again with the [[SpotlightStealingSquad exception of Nick]], Linkara says this season is less a season of ''Power Rangers'', and more a fantasy story that just so happens to have Power Rangers in it.
* TakeThat: Compares the introduction to the four rangers, besides Nick, to an MTV reality TV show, and talks about the filming of one in progress as though it were a crime.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: Feels this way about Chip, whose desire to be a KnightInShiningArmor who actually embodies those traits, unlike Koragg, what it meant to him could've been more explored.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]:
** Notes this on a few things, with one of the main problems with the season being that the show didn't give the Rangers themselves enough focus, and the final two episodes had enough plot points that could have been fleshed out in place of some of the filler episodes.
** Specifically laments the lack of an ''SPD'' team-up episode, since seeing the team of space cops from the year 2025 interacting with the team of wizards from 2006 could have made for plenty of great material due to their contrasting themes, environments & philosophies. Especially frustrating when Piggy shows up in one episode living on the Earth long before the future timeline of ''SPD'' and only shows up as more comic relief to interact with Jinji. The most we get from him beyond that is just foreshadowing of what went down in his series. He does, however, admit that given that ''SPD'' is set in the future, that creating a setup for a team-up would be more difficult than other shows.
*** Then again, ''Dino Thunder'' and ''SPD'' had the time gap as well, and they had ''two'' crossovers...
* TranquilFury: While not on par with his speech in the ''Wild Force'' review, there was a definite edge in his voice when he was talking about people spoiling the surprise of the Mystic Mother's identity.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic[[invoked]]: His opinion of Nick, who he even describes as an "arrogant, unsympathetic, overemotional douchebag." He initially feels the same about Leelee, who basically only had a HeelFaceTurn for selfish reasons, but redeems herself when she goes with Phineas and Claire to rescue Udonna.
* TheUntwist: Invoked with the identities of Udonna's long-lost husband & son; the same episode revealed Udonna's son was taken to the human world as a child, and that Nick is an orphan and his OrphansPlotTrinket is the same blanket Udonna's son had in the flashback. Coupled with the revelation that Udonna's husband was an honorable warrior and a flashback of Koragg where we find out he used to be human, and it's very obvious where this story-line is going, even if it takes some time to get there.
* VindicatedByHistory[[invoked]]: Linkara stated during the "Once a Ranger" video that he feels ''Mystic Force'' is a good theme song in comparison to ''Operation Overdrive'''s more rap-based theme.
* WTHCastingAgency[[invoked]]: Has this reaction to the voice of the Mystic Mother, more specifically [[spoiler:the crew not getting Creator/BarbaraGoodson back, given they'd revealed the Mystic Mother to be the [[HeelFaceTurn reformed]] Rita Repulsa.]]
[[/folder]]

The most current review thus far is of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury'', being released as its sequel series ''Cosmic Fury'' is under development. Linkara has [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/135918669558 announced]] that since the series will be completely caught-up, new episodes will only be released after a new season has aired in its entirety and the official [=DVDs=] are released (assuming seasons are normally split into two mini-seasons and that the [=DVDs=] are released on time, a new episode about every two years). There are also possible episodes depending on Patreon requests, and will likely focus more on ''Power Rangers'' [[FollowTheLeader "copycats"]] like ''Series/MaskedRider'', ''{{Series/Beetleborgs}}'', ''Series/VRTroopers'', and ''Series/TattooedTeenageAlienFightersFromBeverlyHills''. He's also going back and addressing the mistakes he'd made in earlier videos and has tentatively announced that he plans on remastering all the previous episodes of HOPR up to ''Operation Overdrive''.

* FanWank[[invoked]]: He's flabbergasted by the show matter-of-factly confirming that ''Beast Morphers'' is in the main timeline, and tosses out a few half-baked theories to make it make sense.

** Much like in the ''Time Force'' installment, he cracks a quick joke about how one part of the endgame storyline shares an episode title with an episode of Series/DoctorWho and claims he mixed up his notes again.

-->'''Linkara:''' '''I WAS KIDDING!'''

* ExecutiveMeddling [[invoked]]: He's grateful to Simon Bennett, a longtime director on the show recently promoted to an executive producer, for sharing more behind-the-scenes information into the decision-making process at Saban and Hasbro. Among Bennett's comments:

* HypeBacklash[[invoked]]: Downplayed; While he has high praise for the season, even admitting that it is one of the best seasons, he feels that the fans overhyped the show just a little bit.

* TemptingFate: Early in the video, Linkara is completely shocked that they used the Morphin' Masters, a concept that was only used ''once'' early in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' season one and never used again until ''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios''[[note]] Which is explicitly an alternate universe take on the Power Rangers mythos[[/note]]. He mentions that it would be like if they referenced Lokar, who only showed up twice in ''Mighty Morphin'' was suddenly referenced here... and near the end of the review, we're introduced to Lothorn, who reveals himself as Lokar's nephew to Linkara's surprise.[[note]]In a bit of Serendipity, it's because in ''Ryusoulger'', the MonsterOfTheWeek Lothorn is based off of was a repainted and repurposed Dai-Satan costume from ''Series/FourWeekContinuousSuperSentaiStrongestBattle''[[/note]]
* UnexpectedCharacter [[invoked]]: This season has a lot of nods to Ranger history, bringing back one-off ''Mighty Morphin'' concepts like Lokar and the Morphin' Masters or supporting characters from ''Beast Morphers'' and ''Ninja Steel'' in lieu of the traditional team-up.
* AWizardDidIt: This season introduces the wizard: the Green Morphing Master, one of the color-coded spirits connected to the Grid itself. Against the wishes of her peers, she's been providing {{Deus Ex Machina}} for nearly every Ranger team, from the Legendary Battle to Steel's transformation. [[TropesAreTools Linkara doesn't mind this]] as much as he did for characters like Gosei, since unlike Gosei being essentially a {{Deus Ex Machina}} dispenser despite having no solid narrative reason for doing so, Morphin Master Green is properly established as doing so because of her belief that the Morphin Masters should be more proactive in helping the battle against evil, instead of staying in the background.[[note]]And unlike Gosei, who seemed to just be the writers way of getting out of problems they created, Morphin Master Green is a {{Retcon}} to explain a lot of the sillier/inexplicable events that happened in the series past[[/note]]

* NoHuggingNoKissing: He frequently expresses disappointment that the series avoided any such displays of affection (except for [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Kimberly/Tommy]]) with some sort of romance happening in nearly every season. Whenever there is some sort of heartfelt confession that ''should'' lead to a kiss but never does, he subtitles it "Kiss her you idiot!"

* HypeBacklash[[invoked]]: Downplayed; While he has high praise for the season, he feels that the fans overhyped the show just a little bit.

* InMemoriam: Starts with one for Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver), who died a few months before the video's release.

** Also notes this about the Dark Rangers, in addition to their stupid costumes, we don't get to see them do anything and the teens that Zedd planned to turn into the Dark Rangers are never seen again.

* TemptingFate: Early in the video, Linkara is completely shocked that they used the Morphin' Masters, a concept that was only used ''once'' early in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' season one and never used again until ''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios''.

** "And I'm sure <X> will neeeeever be brought up/mentioned again".

* AWizardDidIt: This season introduces the wizard: the Green Morphing Master, one of the color-coded spirits connected to the Grid itself. Against the wishes of her peers, she's been providing {{Deus Ex Machina}}e for nearly every Ranger team, from the Legendary Battle to Steel's transformation.

* ComedyGhetto [[invoked]]: He has nothing against comic relief hijinks, but isn't too fond of Jane and J-Borg's subplots. He notes that this is likely due to behind-the-scenes realities; the comedy scenes and the character and action scenes are filmed separately, and thus they don't always cohere.

* FanWank [[invoked]]: He's flabbergasted by the show matter-of-factly confirming that ''Beast Morphers'' is in the main timeline, and tosses out a few half-baked theories to make it make sense.

* HypeBacklash [[invoked]]: Downplayed; While he has high praise for the season, he feels that the fans overhyped the show just a little bit.

* SlowPacedBeginning [[invoked]]: He considers the first season weaker than the second because there's little plot momentum in favor of more character-centric and self-contained episodes.

** They were required to include at least two Victor and Monty scenes in every episode, and had a massive library of fart sound effects for their shtick.

** He also sometimes goes into details about certain rangers that he likes over the rest of the team, so far having done Katie in ''Time Force'', Cam in ''Ninja Storm'', Chip in ''Mystic Force'', Rose in ''Operation Overdrive'', RJ in ''Jungle Fury'', Antonio and Lauren in ''Samurai'', Gia in ''Megaforce'', Steel in ''Beast Morphers'', and singling out Zack as his favorite of the original ''Mighty Morphin'' in his Remaster of Season 1.
