I know there have been issues about Cole being an Internet joke, Rick Medina's shocking revelation that he's a douche or Mr. Smith finding him annoying but I'll just write why Cole's my favorite PR Red Ranger of all time.  Wild Force is so-so for some but I'd say it's a good season.  So here are my reasons... He doesn't start out very typical.  He's more like a barbarian attempting to fit into the civilized world and learns what it is to be part of society.  It was pretty interesting development for me.  I just thought him trying to reason to the Org was a good scene, trying to develop a not so typical hero all along.  And he's got that naiveness to go that adds to character development IMO. There's just something about his strength and body.  While having a tough exterior, he has a gentle soul.  It can be evidenced in the episode "The Soul of Humanity". I just found his battle scene with Viktor Adler/second Master Org to be...

I could say for Power Rangers, there were times I chose to be neutral but there were times I watched them for enjoyment though I'm more of a Super Sentai fan.  Now I just had my thoughts on why I'm giving Power Rangers Megaforce a chance... Compared to Power Rangers Samurai which attempts to poorly copy and paste everything and add useless MMPR nostalgia (that is Bulk and Spike who are just there for being there, no plot contribution whatsoever) it looks like they will get the MMPR nostalgia value done right with the teenagers stuff but hopefully it'll get better.  Want to know how to do teenager stuff well?  Simple- they need to watch some Turboranger and Megaranger to see how it can be done better.  Not like as if Toei's forbidding them to do so!  Hopefully this won't bore me like Goseiger (which I also gave a chance thanks to Eri's cuteness). The other would be the girls.  I would say it's pretty rare tehse days for Power Rangers to have a hot chic...

So while I had a bad taste with Power Rangers Samurai, even Spike ran off to Japan (and Yatsudenwani promoted him as vice president of Dino Curry!) so I guess I'll hang out a bit with Megaforce for... Ciara Hanna... he he he!  Well I'll spill it out that I still have a soft spot for Power Rangers though it's not as much as it used to be thanks to majority of what Kalish had to offer. So a little bit about this one, well I wish it were Ciara Hanna who were wearing the short shorts but oh well... ha ha ha!  I'm just glad this one isn't a copy/paste like PR Samurai so I may give this  a better chance. Apparently the coming of PR Megaforce might change my mind of a Timeranger/i-Carly crossover with a Goseiger/i-Carly crossover.

I just thought between the Filipino novel "Noli Me Tangere" by Filipino-Chinese writer Jose Mercado (Rizal) and that of French writer Victor Hugo, these two kind of had a common idea of people bound to celibacy who has some really BAD ISSUES! Both Padre Frollo and Padre Salvi are pretty tragic figures.  They try their best to be good priests of their religion, to be good persons (but also hypocritical, miserly and both were very pale and sickly too) but  the tragedy does begin with when they start to break their vows of celibacy to fall in love with that they believe are "inferior" women.  Frollo had a dislike for gypsies and Salvi had a dislike for Filipinos (who he calls as Indios or inferior) but in the long run, both fall in love with races they disliked which doubled their pain aside from being celibates thus the song "Hellfire" comes in.  Then it begins their madness... Frollo attempted to kill Phoebus de Chapateurs while he was kissing with Esmer...

Secret of the Hunchback has this plot which has some from the novel and its own twist and turns.  So it looks like a rehash of characters but not really.  So the beginning starts where kind Archdeacon Claude Frollo adopts Quasimodo and he does have his assistant.  Claude could not care how ugly Quasimodo was, he raised the freak anyway but warned him about society can be so unforgiving while there are good people. So Quasimodo sneaks out to see the festival and meets Pierre Gringoire a misunderstood poet and Esmeralda WHO LOOKS LIKE BELLE.  In the middle of everything, there is Jehan Frollo the Archdeacon's corrupt brother who is the High Sheriff of Paris, who looks like a cross between Gaston and Jafar, but mostly Gaston personality-wise accompanied by a bumbling sidekick like Lefou.  And what's worse is that Jehan has developed feelings for Esmeralda, wants to marry her but she HATES HIM.  So yeah, pretty much Belle as Esmeralda and Gaston as the High Sh...

Well here's been one thing I thought as a kid- season 1 of Power Rangers basically had Rita Repulsa established somewhat as the empress of evil, a queen at her own right, she doesn't mention she has a master and all that- she was in fact to every child back then the BIG BAD of the first season.  In fact, MMPR was supposed to end after 40 episodes but due to popularity issues, the show was extended with Zyu2 footage (that is extra Zyuranger footage that NEVER was used in the original) for MMPR exclusively.  Toei accepted the offer so they can make more money in America based on the royalties Saban pays! So I had my headache on that issue.  So Rita Repulsa was basically almost similar to Bandora, big bad, ruler of darkness and then we realize that... entrance music... Lord Zedd has to enter.  Lord Zedd was written as her master, a fearsome destructive villain.  So if Rita was the empress of destruction, then what is Lord Zedd's rank?  Also, why didn't R...

Kabal.  Although he's not my favorite but I thought that pretty much had a blur role as Kabal.  He started off in Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate/Trilogy as a member of the Black Dragon who got spared from being soul-sucked by Shao Kahn.  So he was chosen for some reason where he was spared but forced to wear an artificial respirator for the rest of his life.  He had begun to see the light that is for awhile, he helped the Earth warriors fight against the Outworld invasion.  However he was not seen in MK4 or Gold but later was mentioned in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance.  While he supposedly left the Black Dragon, Mavado defeated him and mortally wounded him, claimed his hookswords but that was NOT the end of Kabal. What happened was his allegiance was supposedly good, the cleric of Chaosrealm, Havik took advantage of him and revived him from near death returning him to the side of evil in Mortal Kombat Deception where he vowed to reform the Black Dragon under a...
