FINALLY! AN EPISODE THATS ACTUALLY GREAT IN THIS GODAWFUL SHOW! LOOK AT THIS SOMETHING FROM MICHIGAN! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SERIES HISTORY! THIS IS ALL THE SHOW HAS BEEN MISSING! 765/10 GOLDEN episode! Make more episodes like this Nickelodeon!

Reviving this thread after nearly 2 years to post the one very piece of recent art that I've actually somewhat been quite proud of, and this time courtesy of me new hyperfixation, that jellystone cartoon. A lil' bit of festive squobbie for the hols.

HAPPY DECEMBER!!! New lateness record!

LOOK AT HIM, MY BOY HAS RETURNED Here I am with my first episode review in 2 years. As someone who doesn't regularly keep up with the snow anymore, I thought this was decent, even if it wasn't as great as the other two Christmas specials. The Plankton, SpongeBob and Patrick dynamic helped make this entertaining and stand out on its own. Plankton had a lot of great lines and moments throughout. Patchy and Potty's animated cameos were nice and one of my favorite moments of the episode. It was overall a wholesome, sweet episode that I don't have much to complain about. Also, I don't know if it was just me but SpongeBob's voice sounded weirdly deeper here. Grade: A for the Scooter cameo, but realistically probably a 7.5/10 idk

I'm AMAZED that it hasn't been over a month since I've LAST been here! In any case, time to list some more tropes! / And Now For Something Completely Different: The opening of "Back To The 1980's Part I" evokes this. After all, it focuses on a group of five people who seem to be completely unrelated to the Power Rangers. However, the Cold Open was necessary to show the formation of a team of Power Rangers, who will be NECESSARY for the current Power Rangers team to learn about, as they are HEADED back for that time! Take Our Word For It!: Due to not being present for the events at the end of Season One of "Power Rangers Multiverse Force", the Thunder Rangers questioned whether or not the Chaos Realm really IS as terrible as the Power Rangers say that it is, or that Usagi and Krash'ir were forced to do something THAT terrible! This is the only response they get for their questions! Fortunately, they all accept it as a valid answer. Deliberate Values Dissonance: Bound to happen, as the standards of the late 1970's through the 1980's were sadly, NOT as good as they are now! Diane Martin, to her credit, is at LEAST aware that "Society Marches On", and prepares Dan to do well, so that people like him, will be able to do BETTER in the future! I Was Quite The Looker: Diane Martin, during the opening of "Back To The 1980's Part I". When the Power Rangers meet her, she's now close to pushing 64, but StarHawk, having seen some of her historical missions via the Viewing Globe, says that she's STILL very beautiful for someone of her age. Women Are Wiser: Seems to be the case, at least for the past team of Power Rangers represented by Diane Martin. Diane Martin is a rich multi-millionaire heiress who frequents Studio 54, while Shiro is the resident genius. Ken and Dash Drew seem to DELIBERATELY check off every single stereotype for being Russian and French respectively! Dan Masao gets a pass because he just MOVED from Japan recently, and only STARTED learning English! Dan and Dash DO get better at NOT being stereotypical once they're older, as "Character Development". Locked Out Of The Loop: Unfortunately, due to the times of the late 1970's and the 1980's, the American government decided that the world was NOT ready to learn about alien threats, or about a team of Power Rangers protecting Earth from them, which is why they KEPT the missions of Diane Martin et al, a secret from the public! At least the current team of Power Rangers know about their exploits! Ethnicity Lift/Gender Flip: Happened, due to changing the source of "Super Sentai Battle Fever J", into a more Americanized version of "Power Rangers". While all the Power Rangers of that time (save for Dash Drew) have ROUGHLY the same names, Diane Martin is now a white-skinned American, Dash Drew is a White French Man, the original Battle Russia was a White Russian Male, and Shiro was a dark-skinned WOMAN from Kenya! Only Dan Masao, Maria, and Jim, kept their original ethnicity and gender, being Japanese. Related In the Adaptation: A three-fer! It's revealed that sometime between Diane Martin's team disbanding and the present day, Diane Martin and Dash Drew married, and had a child. That child grew up to be Sydney Drew of the "Power Rangers SPD". Sadly, it was revealed that Diane Martin and Dash divorced sometime in the past, and Dash reluctantly had to let Diane and Sydney, keep their last names. Art Shift: As much as there CAN be one in a literature! For the sake of a JOKE at Eris' expense, when Radiguet reveals that he plans to have a loyal monster of his give Eris back her old face, a LITERAL picture depiction of her old face is shown after said explanation, causing Eris to scream: "NOOO!!!! Where did you GET that?!" (Although to be fair, said picture seems to be a case of "Hollywood Homely", as her old face doesn't look THAT bad). Rosseau Was Right/Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Happened to Radiguet, of ALL characters! While by Radiguet was no MEANS a good day even DURING his as of yet mostly obscured "Super Sentai Jetman" days, Radiguet DID love his mother Emperess Jooza, and HATED the fact that he HAD to kill her after she went CRAZY and tried to kill him! Radiguet even BEGGED Sla'neesh to even bring back a brainwashed version of his mother back to life, only for Sla'neesh to string him along for 300 days, using him as his own SICK, depraved plaything! Needless to say, once Radiguet finds out that it was SLA'NEESH's idea to brainwash his mother against him, it sets off Radiguet's "Berserk Button"! Even Evil Has Standards: Once again, Radiguet, of ALL characters, has that! Sure, Radiguet may be an evil, galactic conqueror, but he absolutely ABHORS the fact that Sla'neesh did all MATTER of unspeakable things to him, AND the depraved thing he forced Usagi and Krash'ir to do together! Needless to say, Radiguet feels the need to MURDER all of Sla'neesh's followers save for Eris, as it's THE only way that Radiguet will be able to hold onto any semblance of sanity! As Sla'neesh finds out the hard way, Radiguet's desire is... Not Hyperbole: When Radiguet SAYS that he NEEDS to murder all of Sla'neesh's followers , it's not so much that Sla'neesh thinks its a case of "Like You Would REALLY Do It", Sla'neesh thinks that Radiguet simply can't. But Radiguet BRUTALLY deconstructs "Orcus On His Throne" and "Hard Work Hardly Works", as Radiguet powers up a GIGANTIC Death Ball, and DOES destroy all of Sla'neesh's followers except for Eris! Sla'neesh even lampshades this by saying: "Wow, I didn't think you could actually DO it!" No Holds Down Beatdown/And This Is For...!: Once Radiguet forces Sla'neesh into a mortal body in order to spare Eris' beauty, Radiguet proceeds to give Sla'neesh an old-fashioned one of these, by BRUTALLY punching Sla'neesh every time Radiguet mentions one of the "Long Laundry List Of Crimes" atrocities Sla'neesh has committed in the past! For Tranza, it's LITERALLY a case of "Pass The Popcorn". Gone Horribly Right: Sla'neesh realizes ALL too late that this is what it's actions have caused Radiguet to become. Even stating, "After the untimely death of Dark Spectre, Khorne and I dreamed of creating the most POWERFUL villain in the universe...AND we succeeded! No Kill Like OverKill: This was the ultimate fate that Radiguet gave to Sla'neesh, as Radiguet decides to unleash "More Dakka" on Sla'neesh, and SHOOTS Sla'neesh a total of 212 times (two 100 bullet machine guns, and two six bullet shotguns), and even THROWS Sla'neesh's body into a nearby star for good measure, burning him up entirely! Tranza even lampshades this by saying: "Wow! Now I know what the definition of 'Overkill' looks like!" The Password Is Always "Swordfish": It seems that Dr. Maniac isn't the ONLY villain that was inspired by "Spaceballs". Khorne decided to make the combination to de-power the Chaos Realm, as "1, 2, 3, 4, 5." Sla'neesh was even WORSE, as he LITERALLY wanted to make the password, "Swordfish!" No...Just "No" Reaction/Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: This is the response that Captain Retro gives to FireHawk when she asks why they simply can't just kill Radiguet as a baby, and he actually gives THREE justifications as to WHY there is a Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act! The first one if that such a gigantic change in history could cause the Time/Space Continuum to become SO unbalanced, it could collapse in on itself and destroy ALL sentient life! The second justification is that even if reality DIDN'T collapse in on itself and successfully manage to create an alternate timeline, the chance is STILL too high that it would cause something like, Nazi's NOT existing, but something WORSE taking their place! In other words, "Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!" And the third, most important justification is that FireHawk is talking about killing a baby, who from his viewpoint, hasn't DONE anything yet! When FireHawk doesn't get it, that's when Captain Retro says... And That's Terrible: Captain Retro points out that SUPPOSING everyone had access to time travel, and decided to "Ret-gone" somebody out of existence just because they COULD! Not only could they accidentally erase THEMSELVES out of existence, the logistical nightmare of trying to manage the historical changes would be too much for even Captain Retro and the other Guardians to handle! Skewed Priorities: Even Diane Martin didn't seem immune to this, as she was more worried about the structure of her CAR, as opposed to the safety of the guy actually driving it! Radiguet gets this to, but when the brainwashed Maria points out there would be no benefit to Radiguet murdering all of Sla'neesh's followers, Radiguet responds to it, by using "Insistent Terminology", and calling it a "Public Service". / That's all the tropes I can think up of for now. Enough said, true believers!
