Something that bugs me about a minority response to RPM

[Jiemusu]

"Oh, only the yellow, green and black rangers are getting any focus. The red and blue rangers are just in the background, moan moan, they get no attention, blah blah, so far it's only about yellow/black/green."

Seriously. Enough.

We're EIGHT episodes in of a show which seasons usually get about 30 episodes minimum, meaning we have about at least 24 episodes to come, meaning anything could happen in that time. And you're judging overall character focus based off only eight episodes?

Yes, Summer got alot of focus, but the two episodes were entitled Ranger YELLOW, it was two episodes specifically for her character backstory, of course it's going to be about her, and it's only been 2 episodes. Character development for a yellow ranger isn't a crime, it's a godsend.

No, Scott didn't get a hell of a lot of development or emphasis in his Ranger Red episode. People are actually complaining about a red ranger NOT getting focus?

So Flynn hasn't had development flooded on screen yet. Jeez, Ranger Blue hasn't even aired yet, talk about petty.

Dillon has lost his memory, you think they're just going to let potential like that die in the background? No he needs to be the centre of the early episodes in order to justify being the "mysterious new loner" act, otherwise he'd be dull. Where as characters like Flynn don't need development to be charismatic and interesting.

Ziggy is getting focus because it kinda contributes to Dillon adaption.

Now obviously the general reaction to RPM is really positive, clearly the majority are saying it's the best season Disney have done, and it's made it's way onto people's favorite seasons. I, for one, hate vehicle toku, and I'm loving it.

But there are still a selected few, that are using this "oh red and blue get no focus" excuse to bash the whole season.

Yeah, it's been eight episodes already, lighten up.

Dude I agree with you, honestly Flynn doesn't need alot of focus episode because I think he steals away scenes from the other rangers. I mean c'mon he stole alot of scenes in Ranger Yellow, like the cake scene, him showing off his heritage, also beack in episode 5 where he was trying to make his drink.

As for Scott I think he is a descent red so far. He is tough but cares for his team and doesn't want to make the same mistake as he did with his brother.

Exactly!

The idea is that you'll have episodes centered around other rangers apart from Flynn fairly often, so you think "Oh this episode is going to be about yellow, or black" for example, then right at a certain point, Flynn will talk, bring in a one liner, and steal the episode, and you'll be like "Wow blue was cool in that" and you think about blue at the end. Flynn is the kind of character that doesn't need whole episodes or overdevelopment devoted to him to be cool, he can steal it with his dialogue or hell just his presence. Kinda like Bridge in SPD to compare it to someone else.

The minority of the fanbase that are bashing RPM don't seem to get this, they're just complaning about Flynn not getting focus.

As for Scott I think he is a descent red so far. He is tough but cares for his team and doesn't want to make the same mistake as he did with his brother.

I think Scott leads the team well actually, he has their interests at heart, and that's what makes a true leader, not someone that just wants the spotlight, and not someone that has mad skills, constant focus or who can just get the job done, it takes more than that due to teamwork.

Although, having said that, I'm not saying Scott doesn't have skills. As a fighter, he's pretty impressive. Probably the best on the team.

Also As I think about it further, Episode 5 was a team episode, and they all got equal parts in it. Dillon adjusting to be a ranger, Flynn making his drink, Ziggy still trying to fit in as a ranger, and Summer, well she was probably the most level headed in the episode.

When I first saw Eka's head shot, I thought he'd be wussy red ranger. Boy was I pleasantly surprise.:eek: I guess I learned a "don't judge a book by it's cover" kind of lesson.

As for people complaining on red and blue not getting enough screen time, they really need to quit it.:mad: Stop being impatient and give it time to grow. As for this being the best Disney season yet, that's another premature judgment. Nothing really amazing has happened yet, so far it's only been character development and getting new zords. Now they have been pretty good, and there is defiantly potential. But we can not judge on what has yet to be. (I think some famous smart guy said that)

You mean EP 19 and up right? :D

Yes, we don't like how eight episodes gave focus to three Rangers, and hell, I'd argue the Summer bit. Because it would've been hard to give everyone an episode by now?

No, Scott didn't get a hell of a lot of development or emphasis in his Ranger Red episode. People are actually complaining about a red ranger NOT getting focus?

Um, yeah. He didn't get any development in his own focus episode.

That smacks of horrible writing.

So Flynn hasn't had development flooded on screen yet. Jeez, Ranger Blue hasn't even aired yet, talk about petty.

We've had eight episodes to learn something! Anything! Why should we have to wait until after Dillon's nineteen focus episodes to get a bit about anyone else? Dillon's not even interesting!

Dillon has lost his memory, you think they're just going to let potential like that die in the background?

Well, to be fair, it would be far from the first time.

No he needs to be the centre of the early episodes in order to justify being the "mysterious new loner" act, otherwise he'd be dull.

..."otherwise"?

hahaha

Where as characters like Flynn don't need development to be charismatic and interesting.

All characters need to be developed in well written fiction.

Now obviously the general reaction to RPM is really positive, clearly the majority are saying it's the best season Disney have done, and it's made it's way onto people's favorite seasons. I, for one, hate vehicle toku, and I'm loving it.

Because dissenting opinions are bad, right? We're not allowed to think differently than the majority, otherwise we're wrong, right?

Screw that mindset.

Actually the whole mysterious new loner that joins the hero team and takes the spotlight act has me just wanting to bang my head against a brick wall since it's the same thing that every x-men movie and and cartoon did with Wolverine. Hell Dillion is just a wolverine rip off with his black leather jacket and bad *** attitude even him deciding to stay with the team because of the pretty girl is him copying wolverine. Wolverine isn't the most interesting x-man and Dillion isn't the most interesting ranger. Why do they have to give him so much focus at all?
