#Lothor

[escapism-from-the-real-world]

I had a power ranger RPM thought:

So, the bad guys in power rangers have been pretty good for the most part. Venjix from RPM is genuinely terrifying simply for the fact that he’s killed the majority of the planet, Zander from samurai is a really good bad for bad sake kind of bad guy and he’s a chronic migraine icon, and Jarrod/Dai Shi and Camile from Jungle Fury are my favorite bad guys ever and they are so much fun and all the villains in this show are giving off toxic family drama vibes and sometimes have more interesting plot lines than the heroes.

Lothor from Ninja Storm and Mesagog from Dino Thunder have been alright. They have interesting concepts that I feel like needed a little bit more oomph to be on par with everyone else I’ve seen/remember so far. Mesagog has an amazing character design tho.

ANYWAY, most of the villains have reasons for why they are failing to destroy the rangers despite their best efforts (Zander suffers from constant debilitating migraines that stop him from leading well, Lothor is purposefully losing for later plot reasons, Dai Shi is being held back by Jarrod, Mesagog is being held back by Trent’s dad) but I didn’t really see this kind of reasoning for RPM.

Which is weird because RPM is like, the best power rangers ever and has some really fun interactions/dynamics with villains and heroes, but didn’t have the same “we’re failing because there is X holding us back”

And then I remembered Venjix’s origin story.

He’s a computer program meant to infiltrate and disarm security programs, maybe even destroy them. He’s a computer program made by Dr. K, his direct enemy. Computer programs are only as smart as they are programmed to be.

Venjix can easily get into Corinth, that’s basically his whole programming, but can’t beat the “security team” (aka the rangers) because they are “programmed” beyond what he was designed to destroy.

He keeps losing because he is a computer program with set limitations already in place for him. All his biggest schemes and plans that had the greatest success were thought up by Tenaya in combination with his other generals.

It is a human mind that is progressing his advancements and even then it is held back by his preference for his machines.

Like, that’s really cool. And maybe that wasn’t what they were going for but it works and it’s wonderfully consistent with what we are give about how Venjix works.

I love this show so much.

Look at the mountains over here. Look at how beautiful that is. But we're not here for beauty. We're here for darkness.

You know what's funny?

Despite being "losers", Marah and Kapri destroyed Shimazu - a goofy general, but he was still a general.

Yeah you can argue he was beat up after the Power Rangers, but they still killed him.

No hesitation, no remorse and no struggle.

For once they were capable - so it makes sense Lothor got worried they actually were faking incompetence this whole time. Even though he was the one who came up with the plan in the first place.

How do you think Ninja Storm would’ve played out if it was Kanoi that passed instead of Miko, how would that alter the story?

Mainly with Cam etc having his mom as both the mentor and more samurai qualities around🤔

I should think that Cam would have been a great deal more relaxed and open to fun and curiosity that his father seemed to do his very best to dim and correct throughout his life all in the name of keeping him safe. I can assume that he did that for the sake of honor binding by promise to Miko, but with her being alive here and Kanoi being dead, there's no need to split hairs. Miko would continue the Ninja Academy, but with the personal choice to train Cam as a Samurai--the Watanabe name is hers, not Kanoi's, despite what others think. It is Cam's birthright and she would make sure he was aware of it.

I should believe that when Lothor came down on the Academy, both Wind and Thunder, Miko would not be turned into a guinea pig. It's not dignified and I have this weird feeling that the universe would give her more than that. Perhaps a cat, or dog, a Bombay or a Border Collie so she could defend herself or travel about to help the other Rangers as needs must.

I think above all else, she would make sure not to be TOO cryptic with the Rangers in their learning and their training and would be all storms and lightning finding out that Lothor was using her nieces in such a demeaning way--debasing themselves to act stupid and ridiculous to build up to some master plan. Miko would not stand for it, and Cam would be brought to make sure to give them food and clothing and check in on them.

I think by the end of all things, MIKO WOULD HAVE KICKED LOTHOR'S ASS. And heard Tori out on her trip to the land of Oz and gone to visit and get to know Lothor as a proper gentleman.

Lothor to Zurgane, Power Rangers Ninja Storm

Alurra: Lothor, did you know that humans have this ritual of reading stories about toxic characters so they can find someone equally toxic to spend their lives with? Lothor: And why is that important to me? Alurra: The book says that now I must invade you with my presence until you become less dark and depressing.
