I remember Kendall’s actor telling me that a lot of people say to her that character was too mean to the other rangers

Have they seen what she’s dealing with it.

Power Rangers: The Movie (1995)

More Tarrick headcanons please! You see my “he’s a pathetic wet cat” vision

So like. I just wrote an entire basically fic about the Tragedy. Because he is Tragic.

But 90% of my thoughts are like this:

He built his wife a healing tank. He achieved more with less than anyone could be expected to. He survived being kidnapped and he was alone...

Except he went into town. And he hung out with a group of day laborers, because he had to make money for food.

They taught him Spanish. They taught him that you don't cry for the dead--your tears weigh them down while they walk to the gates of Heaven. They taught him a thousand random jobs, and it's a great change from medicine, he's a medic but burying the bodies of aliens and humans alike when Area 62 fell, the desperate attempt to put Santura in cryostasis before brain damage set in...

Medicine seems second best to just working with your hands now.

And then he discovered the Sporags.

Tarrick couldn't go back at that point. Miguel and the others, they'd know. So he abandoned them. He abandoned everyone.

Mucus and Slyther didn't count. Mucus was a failed Sporag--she had no aggression, just annoying stupidity. Slyther was just a warrior, anyway.

No point in caring.

And then Santura woke, and everything went wrong. And then he discovered that the death and horror that changed everything--

It wasn't complete. Amelia lived. The janitor lived.

He got someone back.

Tarrick showed up at Amelia's workplace, the day after the dust settled. Santura got shanghaid by the medic about ten minutes after the Rafkonians found them, and she was still being healed (the machine Tarrick built didn't heal enough of the brain damage; Santura was still severely impaired, it was why she was aggressive and had mood swings).

And then suddenly there's Miguel, and the day laborers, helping Pop-Pop with the landscaping, and Miguel looks up and sees Tarrick.

And they know.

And Tarrick suddenly realizes exactly how screwed he is--

Miguel grabs him in a hug. And he tells him, Gracias, Dios, you didn't get killed!

Tarrick realizes someone is laughing at him at this point.

Gringo, didn't we tell you not to do stupid shit? One of the others demands. And what do you do but go play with alien weapons--

Tarrick's not totally sure how he gets through that conversation. He's fully prepared for Earth to hate him. But he's kind of getting the feeling they aren't?

This is your daughter? Miguel asks, gesturing at Amelia. Good! You've got a good girl here! She takes care of her abuelo, she always says nice things to us, she's a good kid.

She saved my life, Tarrick says honestly.

Tarrick could have passed for human before. When Rafkonians go public, though, he ends up one of the faces of it.

Sometimes. Other times he ignores it and goes to work with Miguel again. Because he needs to work with his hands.

He and Santura aren't fighting. They're staying with Pop-Pop and Amelia. And they're doing okay.

Just, you know, not talking much.

Finally Pop-Pop tells Tarrick, you know, you should just go make love to your wife. It's a good deed, you need to try and reconnect.

And then Tarrick learns a week later that Santura is pregnant.

He kind of figures out that SOMEONE has it out for him at this point.

It turns out that healing is a lot like this. People aren't always happy about him, but sometimes they forgive. And sometimes it doesn't seem to matter, all the knots he tied himself into to become Void Knight. And honestly, half the time he suspects someone is laughing.

By the time Mucus and Slyther come back, he's not even surprised. And by the time they defeat Zedd, he doesn't even protest when Santura remarks that hey, Tarrick never introduced Amelia to her younger sister...

Poppy is a blessing. And Tarrick is still not sure how he ended up with his wife, his daughters, a Jewish grandfather, and a Sporag daughter.

But he'll put up with the laughing for it.

I think most american comics like the X-Men could benefit from using the storytelling aproach of Scooby Doo, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai/Power Rangers, Gundam, James Bond, Star Trek and Doctor Who.

What is that aproach?

Those franchises are longevous as they are because they make self contained story arcs/seasons/films in the series.

So say, you watch Scooby Doo Mystery Inc, and you follow that show fine, no need to go all back to the 1969 Scooby Doo: Where Are You ? series unless you really want to.

In the case of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai/Power Rangers, they are conected by a specific formula of masked heros (individual or team) fight monster of the week until getting onto the big boss at the finale, and ocasionally have crossover episodes, but overall each season is its own show with different, new characters, gimmicks and villain.

For example, I grew with up the Power Rangers that was animal themed, another younger generation will grow with one that is Mystical Fantasy theme, and so forward.

Gundam is an anime franchise that has a conecting theme: discussing war and the politics behind and consequences of war trough the adventures of giant mecha pilots representing different planetary factions.

Only all the rest, the characters, the robots, the plots, the tone and aesthetics, will be their own distinct self contained story from which you pick a favorite to follow.

James Bond's series if formed by each a different movie with beggining middle and end, ocasionally there can be references to previous movies, and some villains like Blofeld return to the franchise, but overall you can follow one movie fine without needing to see the previous one unless again, you are a really big Bond fan that wants to see everything related to that franchise.

Star Trek has a similar aproach to Kamen/Rider, Super Sentai/Power Rangers an Gundam: a formula (group of heroes travels trough space) and new characters, themes and storylines that can be followed on their own, so you can watch The Next Generation, or Voyager, or just one of the movies, and not be obliged to go all the way back to the Original Series to follow what's happening

One cannot forget the show that endured because it embraced change, Doctor Who, a show about an alien in a blue box, having adventures trough space and time, with their companions, and every three years, there will be a new Doctor and a new group of friends that will be YOUR version of the characters!

So what could be incorporated into the X-Men comics from these examples?

Well, you start with one character and their group of heroes.

Their mentor and its students.

Then you complete their arc, their main story is over.

And next you go trough the next series: put in a new school, a new scenario beyond the United States, a new Headmaster and Teachers, and a new group of students.

Some of the previous characters can make cameos or be incorporated into the main story as mentor figures, but extablish that their main struggle is over, they conquered their problems, and now is time to guide the next generation trough THEIR new sets of conflicts.

And I'm not inventing the wheel here, the X books gave us precendent in this during the Chris Claremont era.

We started with headmaster Professor X training Angel, Cyclops, Jean, Beast and Iceman, then new characters joined in and renovated the team with Kitty Pryde and Jubilee acting as audience POV characters, and then we saw Magneto becoming the new Headmaster and teaching the New Mutants who have been characters embraced by old and new fans.

If the sliding scale timeline didn't started in the 80s, the New Mutants would have aged in real time and become the teachers of characters representing OUR generation!
