We get a picture of the universe they inhabit, and even get the plot of the Power Rangers Super MegaforceВ two parter, вЂњSilver LiningвЂќ twenty years early with the series best entry, вЂњUniversal HitchhikerвЂќ which features a hero from a destroyed world.

Which is a shame, because weвЂ™d actually put its story telling on par with season 1 of Power Rangers.

If Masked Rideris mocked within the Ameri-Toku fandom, Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly HillsВ is the punching bag. Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills ItвЂ™s also hilarious to see them try and match Dex actor TJ Roberts with stock footage from Kamen Rider Black RX, to the point where he sometimes mysteriously turns Japanese in a few shots.

But despite the situation comedy aspects, the show isnвЂ™t as bad as some fans like to complain (since most havenвЂ™t seen past the first episode). Well by the time the show premiered it had wiped that story from its own continuity and went for a situation comedy featuring a multi-cultural family, an evil insect force, a fish out of water alien, and a TOTALLY NOT THE INSPIRATION FOR FERBYS alien pet named Ferbus. With an appearance in Power Rangers third season premiere, youвЂ™d think Masked Riderwould have been a slam-dunk. It needed to pick what it wanted to be, although we will say it had sort of found the right balance by the time Metallix rolled around. ItвЂ™s a show that was at odds with itself the entire run. When the show did focus on its main characters and gave them plots that didnвЂ™t revolve around the monsters they were pretty decent, but theyвЂ™re so few and far between it just canвЂ™t hold up.

The storytelling was weak, with endless recaps and three clip shows the show barely has any actual content to digest. ThereвЂ™s no other explanation for the showвЂ™s obsession with fights and lingering shots of girls asses. Too bad that ambition was to try and be edgy and cool for its intended audience of thirteen year old boys. The second adaption of the popular Japanese franchise on our native soil had a ton of ambition. There was a lot of these shows so we decided to rank them allВ from worst to best! 7. ThatвЂ™s short for American Tokusatsu, Tokusatsu being the Japanese word for these subgenre of superhero shows.

ItвЂ™s no surprise Saban, the creators of the series, wanted to ride the bandwagon they created and in turn they (and others) developed several shows to ride the coattails of Power Rangers, referred to by fans as вЂњAmeri-TokuвЂќ series. It was the hottest property since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the вЂ™80s.

Sold out toy shelves, live appearances, and merchandising galore. When Power RangersВ exploded onto the scene in 1993 it became a global phenomenon.
