Which season(s) of Power Rangers do you regret ever watching? Now, I know there are some people out there who say that they have no regrets watching every season of Power Rangers, and etc. I respect that. But, I am just gonna say it, right here, right now...Not everybody is going to enjoy almost every season of the show that has lasted for over 20+ years. There's going to be time when everyone has to re-think about and re-watch a few seasons of Power Rangers and think to themselves...."What the F@#$ is this?! This was my favorite season of Power Rangers watching when I was young?! What was I thinking?!"
And sadly, it's the truth. Not everything is going to be great after 20+ years. Everyone is going to have different opinions about other seasons in the past and they're going to name a few seasons that may or may not be a fan of. But, we cannot just label every season as either a "Best" or a "Worst" season of Power Rangers. We can only consider them as what we considered to be our most favorite and least favorite seasons of the franchise.
With that being let's talk about some of the seasons that we may not be a fan of, but can't say that they're the "worst seasons" of Power Rangers. Namely the seasons that will make you say that you've regretted ever watching since it came out on TV or that you used to think it was cool in the past, but nowadays, it isn't.
I'll go first. The seasons that I have personally regretted ever watching were Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai. Mainly because I have thought of these two seasons as be a cheap knock-off of Power Rangers Ninja Storm, only much like Batman & Robin, they're trying to be more like Ninja Storm and season one of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers combined. Except, unlike Ninja Storm and MMPR (Season One), they are trying to be all super-duper, ultra, mega, hyper serious all the time and to be honest...it hurts the tone of the seasons, if every character is trying to be all super-duper, ultra, mega, hyper serious all the time. Even Master Xandred is trying to be a super-duper, ultra-mega serious version of Lothor, and yet. It makes his character look even more blander and even more boring than ever. I mean, how am I supposed to be taking this guy seriously as a threat, if all he does is just bore to death with how much he misses hearing Dayu's harmonium or whatever?! At least Lothor was trying to be entertaining, even if Ninja Storm failed in attempting to write humor in its' season. But Xandred?! I just can't take this guy seriously as a main threat because he's just boring. But Dayu is even worse since she was rather pointless and I wasn't buying the whole sympathy act for her character at all. Nor did I even by the whole "Japanese Ancestral" B.S. from the first season and the Bullzord episode. I thought the writers were just full of sh*t up when they made all this up because they think that's how it was in the original seasons of Power Rangers, when it wasn't like that at all. So, yeah. I've regretted ever watching these two shows and I will never want to even bother rethinking about them ever again. I'm sorry, if this is a huge disappointment for those who make like these seasons for what they are. But for me?! I just don't like Samurai and Super Samurai at all.
So, that's my list of Power Rangers seasons that I've regretted watching. But what about the rest of you? Do you have a list of Power Rangers seasons that you've regretted ever watching, or not?
