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.

Dai Shi: I want that twink obliterated! *points to Casey*

RJ and Jarrod: *Thinking🏳️‍🌈*

Dai Shi: THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!

Of all the human organs that have sub-optimal design, today has taught me that the heart is the most flawed of all.

Just an incomplete Jarrod/Camille being students at the academy together post jungle fury and I can’t stop thinking about it

[messmersflame]

since it genuinely took me hours to make these, look at the token art i made for my descent into avernus campaign for my players. obsessed w the differing styles i was given as images to use.

[thirddoctor]

it wasn't groundbreaking or anything but the B5 animated movie was cute and fun

[hesploro-the-torvosaurus]

my favorite thing about Power Rangers Jungle Fury was the theme song. mainly just. "Dai Shi! GO AWAY!"

[nerdgatehobbit]

Obviously I wasn’t going to watch “Friends Don’t Fade Away” and not grab screencaps of the two major villains (and Flit).

Jungle Fury, the Story of Casey Rhodes Is wonderful because the Power of Tiger was strong than Lion Power that Dai-Shi have It.

The Tiger Is Always powerful than the Lion

f, m, k: Koragg, Mesogog, Dai Shi

This is a trap. A trick, a trap.

Fuck - Koragg

Marry - Mesogog

Kill - Dai Shi

Because Koragg eventually turns back into his human form, Mesogog is the same, and Dai Shi hates humans.

Jarrod: I can't have this on my conscience. Dai Shi: You don't have a conscience.

Hey it’s ya boy Conner-mun, feeling drawn to giving Jarrod/Dai Shi a try.

As always, willing to play seriously, comedically and everything in between.

Open to playing Jarrod at any point in the series or post season.

Anyways, yeah, come bug the big Beast King!
