YMMV / Power Rangers GPX

• Anvilicious: The discussion of racism in episode 11. The discussion is lampshaded.
• Fridge Horror: Ragnar activates a force field that cuts Madison off from the rest of the world in chapter 20. At first, he says it's so that no one can get in or out. He's only preparing for an attack, right? It's not just that. He also has a bomb. The force field prevents anyone from getting out as well. He's ensuring maximum casualties should things go wrong.
• Funny Moment: "Do you wonder if ghosts can have sex?"
• Growing the Beard: Both parts, but Part 2 might be the better example. It started off well, but started to slip around episode 20. However, the appearance of Gargotron, the Silver Ranger, and Tom Maelstrom, are signs the story is starting to pick up steam. Episodes 31-33 are where it turns into a steamroller. As for Supercharged, it starts to pick up around chapter seven and by chapter 11, the beard is fully grown.
  • Supercharged Part 2 might also be getting this treatment. Starting with The Reveal that Jimmy is a Project Ranger trainee and a better, more flow-y prose style, Part 2 is getting better.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Just days after a chapter including racist taunting by members of a fraternity—was posted, a Real Life fraternity was disbanded after video of members making racist chants was posted.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The title of the story ("Grand Prix", what GPX is short for here, is how the episodes of Engine Sentai Go-onger, adapted into Power Rangers RPM, are labeled as), and the fact that the Blue Ranger is named Kevin.
• Moe: Hitomi. She is the cute one, after all.
• Moment of Awesome: ALL of Episode 15.
• Moral Event Horizon: Several possibilities:
  • Phaedos kidnaps a little kid and then threatens to burn all of Japan and kill the kid just to smoke out two Rangers in Part 1.
  • The alchemist Ronald threatens to torture the Rangers and kill everyone on the SIU campus. He doesn't follow through on it, but he came very close.
  • Ragnar killing a Project Ranger trainee live on air.
  • He solidifies this when he kills Maria's best friend in episode 35.
• Nightmare Fuel: The God Warrior/Eva-like Giant Mecha sent to destroy Milwaukee in "The Battle of Milwaukee, Part 3", which annihilates probably half the city, and Ragnar's subsequent apocalyptic descriptions.
• Salvaged Story: After seemingly throwing away the subplot of the Elves taking advantage of the Rangers' guilt, Ragnar sends a living monster. There's little doubt this is in response to one reviewer asking why the subplot had to be dropped.
  • It could also be argued that the plot-heavy Supercharged was this after the more episodic and weaker Part 2.
• The Woobie: Queen Eruvanda II. Boy, howdy. She's a lonely, depressed wreck, possibly suffering from separation anxiety, which is mostly unheard of for a Power Rangers villainess. In fact, she easily slides into Anti-Villain territory. Until she defects and goes through a Heel–Face Turn, that is, but the woobieness still stands.
  • Iron Woobie: The Rangers. They've been beat up, spat on, Curb Stomped, hated, criticized, could have died, and yet they still won't give up, so long as the job gets done.
