Tommy is the original Gary Stu and a garbage character who we've been forced to endure because Jason David Frank was the first actor to realize that there was money to be made off the nostalgia. /hottake

Amendment: Tommy was an incredible villain and a character whose arc was exhausted the second he lost his powers. Bringing him back as the White Ranger was PR's jumping-the-shark.

It always made me mad that Jason got screwed over for Tommy, letting a former arch-enemy take over the team. It's like whenever Magneto does a face-turn and everyone's just okay with him leading the X-Men despite all those times he tried to kill them. Meanwhile ya boy in the T-Rex has been loyal since day one and suddenly he's relegated to sidekick duty. I call bullshit.

I had no idea three consecutive people could have strong feelings about Power Rangers. This is wild.

I could never get into the sentai genre myself, but if we're talking suitimation and tokusatsu effects, ain't nobody can step to the realest mothafucka:

Pure sentai is still too wild for me, but Power Rangers adds enough of an illusion of conventional plot structure to achieve palatability. But man... no one can deny the Japanese's creativity.

Yeah... that's the right word for it. "Creativity."

It's weird for me when it comes to Power Rangers and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, because despite devouring all things superhero related when I was young, I was a pretty late bloomer for both. Well, I honestly got way more into the Rangers than I ever did the Turtles, but I've come to respect both properties as a relatively mild fan. Time Force was my gate into the Rangers whenever I was about 11, after dabbling with Lightspeed Rescue. Then I went back and watched Mighty Morphin later on, wasn't super into it, but liked the concepts around it enough.

With TMNT I flat-out never had an interest in until, oddly enough, the Nickelodeon cartoon from just a few years ago. I think because I really didn't quite figure out what their thing was beyond being radical party dudes, and saw all four of them as interchangeable. Catching the Nick cartoon on a lazy afternoon actually laid out their personalities plainly, and I got intrigued enough to read some issues of the IDW run. So I've been more interested since, though I still know barely anything about the lore.

The weirdest superhero I ever got into beyond the big two was Spawn, largely because the movie came out at an impressionable age for me and the character looked neat. Obviously the comics are damn near unreadable garbage, which I found out when I was old enough to get my hands on them, but I've long held out a dream of being able to rewrite him from the ground up and make him more than just a pissed off, burnt Punisher/Batman knockoff. So if your indy game ever takes off, @HenryJonesJr, consider that my tentative reservation.

Being outside of the US, comics for me were all Phantom/Tintin/Asterix until late high school.

You have no idea how bad I want to write a Tintin story in one of these games.
