akinoameSo, can Tyler be in charge of naming everything? Because I love that he looks at a giant robot T. rex and calls it Rexy. The entire time. Derpbaby.
Speaking of derpbabies, Shelby is Karone levels of adorable at trying to be impressive with her first team morph and needing Koda to tell her to click on her Dino Charger.
Also, I like that Koda is clearly struggling with English as his second language, given that his language likely went extinct. I loved in Megaforce that they actually acknowledged Orion having another language, but they really didn't go in-depth on him trying to learn English other than him missing a couple of colloquialisms. Koda's clearly smart, but he just doesn't speak the language--but he's also learning really fast. And I like that. His original language is probably nothing like English in the first place.
Still not sure what to think of Chase, but so far I like Riley.
And as far as Kendall goes...the apparent classism is...new. I mean, you can have a trait to a character that isn't a good thing, so that's one thing. But overall, I have these issues with Power Rangers:
1. Whenever they have a female scientist, she tends to have a cold personality. Kendrix and Hayley were very nice, but Kendrix wasn't the chief science officer on Terra Venture and Hayley had a side-job that required her to have good interpersonal skills. Dr. K, Ms. Fairweather? Pretty vocal in their put-downs. Kat--I didn't watch SPD, so I can't say a whole lot. But it feels like Power Rangers sends this message about girls: "You can either be smart or you can be nice. You can't be both." And I hate that.
2. Kat Manx. Ms. Angela Fairweather. Kendrix Morgan. Hayley Ziktor. Ms. Kendall Morgan. Dr. K. Notice that only one of them has a doctorate? Meanwhile, we've got Dr. Tommy Oliver and Prof. Phenomenous. Captains Mitchell and Logan. Commanders Kinwon and Stanton. Colonel Truman. Women in Power Rangers do not get the same professional respect that the men do. If Tommy and Phenomenus of all people can have Ph.D.s, why can't Hayley, Ms. Fairweather, and Kendall? Why doesn't Kat have a named rank in SPD? It's unfair, and I really feel like they should be calling Kendall "Dr. Morgan." It's not like they don't have improbably young doctors in this show already (K notwithstanding, there's Tommy's improbable career path and Dana as a doctor at 19 after not even a year of medical school, let alone college). Give the girls some fucking CREDIT!
