Sheesh!!! This guy went even harder on this season's problems than he did with Wild Force's problems. Well, I may never look at this season the same way again.
But what do you guys think of this video?

Mystic Force doesn't need fixing.
Well, it could use more Leelee and less Nick, but that's about all.

Mystic Force doesn't need fixing. Well, it could use more Leelee and less Nick, but that's about all. No, actually I think the problem is that Leelee needs to have a better personality than what the writers were intending for her character to be. In fact, I think what should've happened for her character is this. Instead of having LeeLee be Necrolai's daughter, they should have revealed that it's actually Necrolai in disguise as a human, hence why she left the nightclub while Vida was being mesmerized by that fly-trap monster in "Strangers Within, Part I". Or, and yeah, I am actually using the 2017 reboot of Ducktales as an example for an inspiration in a possible future adaptation of the season. Have it be revealed that LeeLee's shadow trying to infiltrate the rangers' action, but then she started to act on her own consciousness which could cause a rift between LeeLee and her "mother" and it might result in either LeeLee being killed by Necrolai, or breaking free of her control, except now she needs a new host to attach herself into as an anchor in order for LeeLee to continue on existing among the humans. Then, we could have actually build up to her finally gaining a solid form where she can finally live as real girl without deteriorating, thanks to a new spell code by the rangers. Either one of those would have been more interesting for her character arc than whatever the hell the writers were trying to do with her in the show. Now, another problem that I believe should have happened in the season is this...give us a proper build-up to the identity of Mystic Mother being revealed as Rita Repulsa. If she's gonna be in this season as the source of all "light magic" and acting as the rangers' connections to the universal morphing grid through magic and mysticism, then they need to at least build-up her character, properly. Have Udonna use her some kind of talisman to stay in contact with her mentor, whether it's that crystal ball theyuse in rootcore or something else near the end of several episodes. Or in the beginning of a few episodes. That way, we can get a far more suspenseful build-up to a far more interesting plot-point than the whole "Nick being Udonna's long-lost son, Bowen" subplot. Oh and have the Mystic Mother be voiced by Barbara Goodson, the original voice actress of Rita Repulsa, or her U.S. body actress, Carla Perez since she does look a lot like Machiko Soga in real-life. Either one of them could have been perfectly casted for this one tribute episode dedicated to the late Soga-san in the finale. Next, we need more than just 32 episodes for this season. Give us at least 38 episodes. The finale, absolutely no stock footage of the Mystic Force rangers defeating Octomus the Master by over-feeding him to death. Make it all original footage, and have the rangers defeat him in the same style the Lost Galaxy rangers took on Trakeena in her final form, or like how the Ninja Storm rangers took on Lothor in their final battle. It should be an all-out brawl between the rangers and the big bad on a ground battle with every mode and every spell code they have unlocked. No giant growth, no last minute deus-ex-machina no jitsu B.S. with the people of Briarwood and the residents of the Mystical realm somehow coming to terms that they should come together and believe in magic in some poorly-established friendship. Just the rangers going all-out on the main villain in his current condition for one last fight. The battlizer needs to be a sharable power-up form between Fireheart and the other four Mystic Force rangers. Not just Nick only!!! Let the other four rangers form a battlizer with the damn dragon, you glory hog!!! They all took turns raising Fireheart and all five of them actually found him when he was still an egg. Make Claire the new White Mystic Ranger. Have Udonna retire her role as a Power Ranger in the finale and let her niece carrying the work her aunt began. That way, she can honor both Udonna and her mother, Niela in their memories. And finally, have Nick and Madison got on a trip to see his adopted parents, together with Udonna and Leanbow. Actually give the two of them a proper send-off where it actually does feel like their romance was finally going to be paid off, and it would finally give closure to Madison's personal arc of her overcoming her shyness and finally admitting to Nick that she loves him. I mean, Avatar: The Last Airbender did it right by giving closure to Aang and Katara's relationship in the series finale. Power Rangers Jungle Fury did it right with Lily and Theo finally going on a date in the finale. Even Dino Super Charge gave closure to Tyler and Shelby's relationship in the finale. This one here feels incomplete. *phew!!!* So yeah, that's all I have to say for now.

I would have liked to have held out for 38. Then they could have done more with the 10 Terrors Arc.
The rest was fine.
Mystic Force was good but the 10 Terrors felt rushed. That would have solved it.
