Great words of encouragement. Especially that last one.
“CAN YOU SING?!“
“A…Ah…Ah…”
“HARMONIZE WITH ME, MAGGOT!”
"YOU SOUND LIKE A MAJESTIC F***ING EAGLE!"
I've never watched Attack on Titan but darn those moments crack me up.
Well, it's actually from the cancelled Team Four Star Attack on Titan Abridged, but s'all good. =)
Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall - Wait it's cancelled? Why?
Depending on who you ask, there was another Attack on Titan Abridged project and the Team Four Star guys cancelled theirs in respect, or there was a copyright issue that saw the videos taken down
Copyright issue, actually. The guys have since said that it was just as well, as they wouldn't have been able to top the jokes from the first episode.
The 'respect' rumour comes from the fact that the English Dub hadn't been released when they made AoTA, so they took the video down without fuss out of respect for that. That killed the momentum of the project.
"Don't Blow That Dough!"
That's too meta for even me to joke about... lol.
Props to the main cast for not laughing at those animal forms
Andrew Michael Woods how do u know they didn’t backstage
I thought that part was from the Sentai
How many shots did they have to take because the main cast were laughing though?
@HorizonCrosser 128 that would cost money which disney didn't like
Those animal forms were sentai footage
If I ever were to become an evil warlord I also would make my flag look like a pizza.
Mine would have to look like a bowl of cereal so that Soggies may rule!
But then they would use stoplights against you
Pizza symbolizes conformity.
A banner we all can unite under.
And I guess our arrows will blot out the sun making us fight in the shade
While Dominic's speech about "To Kill a Mockingbird" may have fallen flat, it is clear that redemption is a big part of this series' theme. Many of the characters are seeking redemption in some form. Casey, who feels responsible for what happened to Jared, RJ and Finn for the rift that's formed between them, Dominic for not being there for Jared or RJ at first, and even the Phantom Beasts for not supporting Dai Shi 10000 years ago. The theme of redemption is perfectly summed up by Jared at the end: "It's never too late to start over."
Even Camille gets redeemed
It's like what Da Mayor said to Spike Lee's Mookie in "Do the Right Thing"
"Always Do The Right Thing"
If arthur morgan was a power ranger this is the season he'd hang out in
So it should have been never gonna give you up
This season had the best acting from the main cast, the best red ranger, the best fight scenes, and some awesome villains that actually made sense with interesting power struggles in their hierarchy. It was easily one of the best in the series.
hmmm I don't think Kc was as badass as carter
@@jackbeckner8334 nah but he’s DEFINITELY a top 5 Red ranger
@@specialbeamvegeta4059 kasi walked through a villains base without batting an eye but I don’t think that compares to running up to two giants sized Demon generals with only a blaster in hand. And kasi’s feat becomes less impressive when you realize all he walked through was common foot soldiers
@@jackbeckner8334 I mean… I never exactly disagreed with you
@@specialbeamvegeta4059 true
I think the point of the To Kill a Mockingbird reference is that Atticus did stand up for what he believed in, even if it was to no avail.
Yea really sucks how he was just doing because it was a job in “why does the cage bird sings”
@@Mauricekaip Harper Lee never intended for that manuscript to be published.
I would’ve loved for Fran to be a ranger as a flamingo spirit (pink with white trim and the weapon would be Sais) clumsy yet graceful and free flowing
Yeah it was a missed opportunity. She was cute to me
Even for a single episode, like Kat from SPD
I think her animal spirit is a deer
@@estebangutierrez160 Agreed, what a shame
That would have been amazing
I always found that villains who were more complex were much more interesting to watch than the stock evil for evils sake villains.
Characters like Treacheron and Ecliptor come to mind. Not persay good guys, but characters who had an interesting moral code.
TheLastSane1 Ecliptor is still my favorite villian, followed by Zenako.
Despite one of them having “treachery” as part of his name.
Same thats why my fav villains are Astronema, Daishi, and Ransik
Dai Shi likes Camille! . . . got to love the classic adolescent playful taunt :D
I’m honestly surprised you didn’t make a joke about Flit’s Human Form looking like 90s Kid.
So that's why he looks familiar.
I don't think he wanted to associate 90s kid with a fly XD
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE, BEING TURNED IN A FLY WAS SO BOGUS!! I SHOULD'VE BEEN TURNED INTO SOMETHING AWESOME LIKE BLOODGUUUUUUN!!!!
Casey is probably the most real character in this series. A quick study, yes, but also willing to challenge the status quo and not go willingly in step with the rest, making his own calls. Easily up there with the greats of this series and a lot better than the recent track record.
16:00 I was expecting a bigger reaction from Lewis when seeing Dai Shi's true form. My first impression " HOLY SON OF GHIDORAH!!"
My first impression of Dai Shi's true form was: "Why does he remind me so much of Kaiser Ghidorah?"
I dunno if you've been told by now, but the reason Scorch was alive immediately for the final battle is that he and Dai Shi were the same character in Gekiranger, a being known as Long/Mugenryu. Jarrod's counterpart, Rio, was merely being used by Long with the intention of making him into a harbinger of destruction -- the true intention of the mythical beast ki/rinzin infusion.
Yes. And Jarrod & Camille's counterparts died...
That does explain Dai Shi's true form.
Why do the villains always get the cool armor? Daishi got golden and black armor- I mean come on!
The Deep Blue Knight to be fair it's
Jarrod's armor, not Dai Shi's.
@@christiancrusader9374 I consider Jarrod a ranger
@@varietyhub2948 I think his Sentai counterpart is considered a ranger. Or as much a ranger as the Magna Defender
@@Mobysimo yeah and I usually apply that consideration to pr. Then agian, sentai didn't consider the Phamtom ranger a ranger
@@christiancrusader9374 Yeah, but for most of the Series, Dai Shi used it when he possessed Jarrod.
Another interesting thing for RJ and him having a Wolf Spirit: I think it's to show he wishes to be a leader or teacher in his own right (or maybe also the "lone wolf" thing, but I think the "leader wolf" thing is what the show went for and is probably better). RJ wants to do things his own way and be able to get away from having to worry about disappointing his dad for doing something wrong, but he's also is quite happy to make friends and take in students and even trust that the group he's leading can be able to work together as a team in order to do good in the world, be it saving RJ from a pit-fight in the Villain HQ or helping him run the pizza shop.
The reason for the furry suits .... that was literally how the masters looked in Gekiranger ..... complete with ABSOLUTELY HOOOOOOOOORRRRRRIBLE animal-based names after Famous Chinese kung-fu actors.
Master Mao - Sha-Fu (Shi-Fu)
Master Phant - Elehung Kam Po (Sammo Hung Kam-bo)
Master Finn - SHARKIE Chan (Jackie Cha)
Master Swoop - Bat-Li (Jet Li)
Master Rilla - Gorrie Yen (Donnie Yen)
Master Quin - Michelle Peng (Michelle King (Yeoh) )
Master Lope - Pyon Biao (Yuen Biao
It was awkwardly funny and weeeeeeeird even in Gekiranger.
ALSO....... whenever the team would fire the big cannon thing....... GekiRed would say "Pork Cube Stew"
Dude those are the cheapest looking suits I've ever scene.
a couple hundred buck and they could have had at least a decent partial suit, but they went with whatever the hell those were...
You also forgot the name of the central creator of Jyuken before it split to GekiJyuKen and RinJyuKen, and the only other named user of Rhinoceros-Ken, Master Barusa Li. Just say his name in a very engrish way and it'll hit ya. (Bruce Lee.)
Sharkie Chan? SHARKIE Chan?! SHARKIE Chan?!?!?!?!?
That's worse than the dang costumes!
Master shi-fu
man are we REALLY sure Sha-Fu wasn't a pun off of Shaq Fu?
"Okay, Planet give me that stupid energy..." And so the final power is Cell's Spirit Bomb.
I mean everyone knows that stupid energy is the most powerful energy on the planet
As I've posted on other sites, Linkara has posted this review on, this series holds a special place to me as it's the first series I was able to share with my oldest son. Even without that, it's definitely one I like.
One of the complaints I used to read about on forums was how Casey kept losing confidence, learning to believe in himself, and then it would repeat. I always felt it was realistic. We don't completely break our habits in 30 minutes. We learn lessons, but don't apply them in every case. We fall back on the old habits because they feel more natural.
My one question about this whole show is why can't Dominic make his own Zord the way everyone else can? It seems he's powerful enough and it actually does NOT seem to be an extension of their Power Ranger abilities at all.
Hell, I’d argue that Casey’s flip flopping confidence was a mental issue. Casey felt that he was responsible for letting Dai Shi free, and no matter how much he learned and grew that guilt remained, eating away at him. That’s why he didn’t earn his mastery rank until *after* freeing Jarrod from Dai Shi, because he still had that lingering guilt and needed to face down with it before he could become a master
My guess why Dom couldn't make his own Zord was because he left to soon. I don't think we even see his Rino Spirt. Casey could since he was a quick study.
15:44 Power Rangers: Furry Force or Power Rangers: Jungle Furry
You Make The Call
WeirdoTZero Sentai.
Dammit, I was gonna say that. XD Ah, furries. Gotta love 'em.
(Note: I'm a furry. I just like to poke fun at the community.)
They went full furry. You never go full furry
(clip from the 3rd Naked Gun movie where almost everybody facepalms)
I still find that way too good even for Power Rangers.
Serious question, why wasn't the special mode for the red ranger this season "white tiger mode" or something to that effect? You'd think it be a no brainer considering they gave the obligitory honorable member of the bad guys the same spirit power as the red ranger (or the other way around since the bad guys at this point are based on chinese zodiac). Seem like a nice way to make the sacrifice have some extra weight to it.
The battleizer budget for the season went to the Spirit Rangers and the Strike Rider. It’s unfortunate, but I guess that’s how things worked out. I would have loved to see a Battleizer for Casey.
Might have also been because a battleiser wouldn't be the best for a team that seems to work on very light, quick and agile movements. Too heavy for the martial arts maybe
I honestly don’t really think a battlizer would’ve suited this season with the fast and free-flowing martial arts style and I also imagine most of the ‘extra things to add because it’s cool’ budget went towards the Spirit Rangers so that’s probably why
This season didn’t really need a battlizer though. As you saw throughout the season Casey became a better fighter overall even able to destroy the phantom beast king armor for Daishi when RJ said it’s possible that he’d be unstoppable. Plus with the American additions of the Spirit Rangers and Strike Rider it’s most likely that are up a majority of the budget. Plus how would you make a battlizer that would allow him to freely move with the kung fu
@@alankrumwiede9318 somethings that's more like revolution of his suite maybe small bits of armor nothing much but still shows off the white tiger spirit maybe the helmet gaining white so t the red and white act as stripes for one another just some ideas being thrown out
Yeah, the Masters turning into animals at the end. That was a thing in the Sentai. Only there, they didn't have human forms. Or at least not that I'm aware of
Even more funny is that the Master in the Sentai is Scorch, that's why Dai Shi turned into a Hydra dragon.
The masters in Gekiranger had lost their humanity during the original Beast War, so how they appeared in the show is the only forms they had left
37:27 Ever since I watched this clip, whenever I come across it, I just have to giggle because I keep thinking about Dai Shi returning to his temple and just sitting on his throne contemplating RJ's words.
And after 3 hours of thinking he just screams "WHAT DID THAT EVEN MEAN!?"
Camille hears him yelling about it and ends up just sitting with Dai Shi trying to help him decipher RJ’s words for another few hours.
Yeah, I'm in the camp that like this series. My personal favorite Ranger was RJ. He mostly reminded me of Raiden from Mortal Kombat Conquest. Laid back, always had advice to give and seemed wiser beyond his years. Unlike the god of useless he never tried to pick up chicks at the bar. Though thankfully RJ didn't have to deal with idiots like Kung Lao and Siro. Next time, apparently some people honestly love RPM or consider it to be worse then Overdrive or Turbo. Hopefully we can touch on about how Disney was doing everything in its power to kill RPM. Like with terrible time slots, little to no promotion and whatnot.
I believe the RPM review in its original form did indeed cover how Disney was trying to run RPM into the ground, so the RUclips version will no doubt discuss it too.
Thing is, I'm not sure if Linkara's going to do RPM next. This is mainly due to the same problem he's having with trying to get In Space out. (Basically, a song in the video that he's not removing because the whole point is to have it in there in the first place.) I'm sure he'll either finally figure out the song problem for In Space and post that or go for a whole remake of his Lost Galaxy review if he hasn't got that little song problem done yet. We'll have to see.
The team working in a Pizza Restaurant when they are not fighting, is also great, since it shows them to have jobs and a life.
I mean, who doesn't like Pizza
Me since I'm not allowed to eat it. Too high in sodium, and the tomato sauce has too much potassium.

For me, Casey is one of the best red rangers in the history of the show.
He definitely is
Not THE best, that title is goes to Wes, but I definitely rank Casey high
1. Wes Collins
2. Carter Grayson
3. Andros
4. Casey Rhodes
5. Scott Truman

shadowlinkbds that’s a close second for me behind the Shadis from TFS lines
The Shadis "Harem of the dead" thing KILLS me every single time
shadowlinkbds Something tells me he wanted to laugh to begin with
Also known as linkaras reaction to megaforce
What would have been an awesome twist would have been if when Casey offered himself up to Dai Shi, Dai Shi saw Jarrod as as the inferior vessel and then dumped him and consumed Casey and then the next episode you have Jarrod forced to lead the team of rangers to save Casey, this would give Jarrod a better redemption arc and create more drama around the rangers trusting Jarrod and overcoming Casey who had just beaten the Dai Shi empowered Jarrod which means Dai Shi would be more powerful than ever inside Casey
That would be a great fan fic, or an au comic one shot.
JF is indeed a great season and I liked every single moment of it. I particularly liked Fran's involvement to actually progress character development and help the Rangers instead of just being a form of Bulk-and-Skull (who also helped the Rangers once or twice especially in the end of IS).
Christos Kettenis It would've been cool if she was the Rhino ranger but hey, she was a decent comic relief character who has helpful to the group!
That would've nice. But because the season had a Kung-Fu theme and she is not a martial artist, maybe that's why she didn't end being the Rhino Ranger. It was also nice that she ended up being Dom's girlfriend.
Christos Kettenis Yep.
@@christoskettenis880 Besides, Panda fits her better.
I knew it.. It's all true.. EVIL PIZZA'S IS NO MATCH FOR A SIMPLE STOPLIGHT!
the transformation into furrys was because of a thing in Gekiranger. Apparently it had to do with their equivalents in the series always being in that form.
Yeah, that's how it was in Geki. The animal transformation is quite a sacrifice. The good news: Phenomenal cosmic power! The bad news: there's no going back; enjoy looking like a cereal mascot FOR LIFE. The worse news: get the technique wrong and you might end up a mouse-sized fly or have an uncontrollable werewolf thing (though at least GekiViolet got restored to his human form.)
@@ecliptorcalrissian5014 I wouldn't mind the werewolf... apart from the uncontrollable thing
honestly the "bad news" seem like a plus to me
18:41
From what I gather, the Masters’ Sentai counterparts either didn’t have human forms or were stuck like that by the villains long ago.
The stock footage using those animal forms marked a swift end to the second Beast War, and a decent explanation for where Dai Shi got the energy for his dragon form. I agree, they look silly, but that would’ve been really hard to work around story-wise.
The masters in gekiranger had human forms but use a beast-transformation to turn themselves in to monster forms of their spirit animals in order to fully master their own gekijyuken. And also Lio in gekiranger, Jarad's counterpart, wanted to master rinjyuken in order to get rid of the hate he had for most of his life and Long, Daishi/Scorch's counterpart, took that hatred he had and used it to gain his final form to destroy the world.
When RJ said "unstoppable",I could hear David`s Vergil voice from DmC slip through a wee bit.
I don't buy his statement at the end indicating RPM is the most divisive season, mainly because I'd argue that THIS season is far more so. For a long time I never saw anyone talking about the season at all but after a while I noticed that the opinions seem to be very polarizing. Some people claim this is the best season while others are adamant it's the worst. And that's not just online, I've always really liked the season but I have friends that have mostly negative views of it.
Aaron O'neil It's either you like RPM, because of its' tone and personal world-building and story-telling or you don't because of its' problematic flaws in how it writes comedy in a dark and grim "realistic" season set in an alternate universe. There is no middle ground.
Ok… the writing wasn’t always perfect but “I’m better then ok… I’m good” is actually really sweet for Jared, he’s always wanted to do good things and feel good inside, now he has both, and friends, and Camiel who seems to love him either as her very best friend or her lover
To me probably one of the most interesting things in between the Sentai and Rangers is that in this version they continue the whole tradition of the red one is the leader but the Sentai version had the yellow one being the official leader
Wait, what?
@@NitroIndigo yep boy
I feel like this season was a true love letter to the Kung fu flicks that we grew up with, RJs training a reference to the Karate Kid, the 5 venoms a reference to the Shaw Brothers Films
Not gonna lie, when I first saw the episode where Whiger died when I was a kid, I was certain that Casey would use the white tiger spirit just the once to manifest a white tiger zord. On the other hand, Whiger becoming a White Tiger Ranger would have been neat. Like, something similar to Merrick in Wild Force, he could have been a human who was corrupted by the Generals, or being possessed by the actual spirit of Whiger, which would have strengthened his own White Tiger Spirit, then upon coming back to the good guys, he would have a color swap of Casey, either in base mode but white, or like Jungle Master Mode with less Red
Whiger = Zen-Aku
Yes.
I always thought that Whiger will give him a new mode like a battlelizer or something before dying and get a new zord.
I... actually love that idea. Whiger was always my favourite member of the Phantom Beasts. Plus, it'd be a great parallel to last season with the Fearcats since both are designed after felids. I do think a White Tiger Zord would've been an amazing tribute too.
Damn... why couldn't he have gotten the Toxica/Matoombo treatment and been revived? I'm sure the Rinzin and Zocato energies must've been dispersed after the Dai Shi Clan was destroyed. (I love to imagine that through his good nature, he was rewarded with coming back to life at the end. His sacrifice was always bittersweet in my opinion and I love villain redemptions. Heck, even Casey called him a hero for doing the right thing in the end.)
Godsdamn, it’s good to see these uploads. Also the rangers highest animal spirit power whatever is actually a spirit bomb. Makes sense to me. I mean, it’s power rangers. It’s not even the least plausible thing we’ve seen
Craig Scott When I first saw this attack, I actually got more of a Kamehameha Wave vibe from Dragonball and Dragonball Z back in 2008. I mean, who know the writers and producers of Jungle Fury were fans of the Dragonball mythos and franchise?!
Neo-Xgray87 I think megaforce showed that they are lol and why not? Power rangers could benefit from better fights and overpowered boss enemies that make things feel rather bleak, potentially making for better stories
Craig Scott Do not *SPEAK OF THAT ABOMINATION AGAIN!* There is no Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce!!!
Neo-Xgray87 unfortunately I cannot agree with you. As terrible as it is, we cannot refuse to acknowledge it. In fact as linkara himself has said. “It’s important to look at the terrible seasons so that we can better appreciate what works in the great seasons. And hopefully avoid a future of similar caliber seasons
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall This show is a MAJESTIC FUCKING EAGLE! Love that joke/attack on titan abridged reference but to be serious this is one of my favorite seasons of Power Rangers alongside that of Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dinothunder, Mystic Force, RPM, Dinocharge, Zeo and what I still consider the best one being Space I love those ones in no particular order but just the whole style and feel of this season stands out from that of many others with the animals + kung-fu thing going on main main problem is the show just feels to short as I felt the finale was extreamly rushed and we could have used at least 10 more episodes. BUT thanks to that joke of yours now I want a freaking EAGLE ranger in the show XD
Give it time. It'll happen.
One of my favourites. I really like the Jarrod/Camile dynamic
You make each season sound excellent! Which ever company that owns the Power Rangers now, needs to put you on their payroll to help with continuity, punch-ups, etc.
I loved this series. Definitely top 5. The story line was good and it was well paced, like you said. And there was only one cringe part which was the animal forms. They bothered me so much XD
a zuohger adaptation could work as a sequel to jungle fury
I enjoy both seasons
Religious Fanboy We'll see.
That is if Saban wants to acknowledge the Disney seasons...just look at what they did with SMF.
Shiro Covers Let's never speak of that god-awful season again. *NEVER EVER, EVER, EVER SPEAK OF THAT ABOMINATION AGAIN!!!!!*
Neo-Xgray87 *deep inhale* What a Super Mega Win
Shiro Covers *shouts at Troy!!* "Monster, extinct!!"
I just realized/found out that the actor who plays Dominic also plays Vladimir Ranskahov in Daredevil season 1.
Whiger could've been a BRILLIANT set up for the Battlizer.
Think about it. He could've given his spirit to Casey and together with his own animal spirit, that could've formed the Battlizer.
Spidey Viewer that would be awesome!
Zakaria
I honestly would've loved to have seen Whiger be allowed entry into the Nexus. Especially since it was his sacrifice that allowed Casey to defeat Camille and rescue his friends, and the civilians. Honestly, if Matoombo can be excused for his actions, then why not Whiger? Regardless, I like to imagine with a bigger budget, that White Tiger Warrior mode could've been implemented.
the final fight between Casey and Jarrod is one of the best I seen in power rangers
9:17 I may also note that the point of Atticus finch and Tom Robinson is that Atticus knows that no matter he did Tom Robinson would still be found guilty but he represented him anyway because it was the right thing to do and he was the only person who will actually try to give him a defense, meanwhile Casey does genuinely think he can free Jared so this isn't a parallel.
“The human race needs you”
“I’ve seen the real Jared and he’s not evil”
“It’s not too late to start over”
“YOU SOUND LIKE A MAJESTIC FUCKING EAGLE” 😂😂😂
I think Scorch was brought back in the finale because in the Sentai he was the actual true villain behind everything and Jarrod's counterpart's path to evil was manipulated by him as a mere pawn.
He probably needed to be brought back because of the Sentai footage being used.
Inconsistency, am I right?! But hey, at least Long's personality and dragon form went to Dai Shi though.
Given what happens to Jarrod and Camile's counterparts in Gekiranger, I'll say I'm more than happy to see Scorch take the multiple beatings.
I love this Season. It certainly isn't Perfect, but I think it's a Vast Improvement over Mystic Force & Operation Overdrive.
14:46-14:47, that was sorta mentioned in Blue Ranger, Twin Danger where Theo mentions that the Spirit Rangers fight without their Masters
for me,jarrod possesion by dai shi wasn't simply "controlling jarod like puppet" but more like living in his body and influancing him. "Human Dai Shi" for me is jarod and dai shi merged together.
Sorta like Spider-Man and the Symbiote;it feasts on his inner anger and frustration and brings out the darkness in him,so it’s more like either it’s Jarrod influenced by Dai Shi or vice versa.
18:55 indeed it was but it was stupid in gekiranger too
Kind of ironic that Master Finn was so rigid; last I checked, their skeletal structure is made of cartilage, making them one of the most flexible predators on Earth.
I think I like how the Sentai handles the final battle as it feels less corny.
I think Self Sacrifice makes the sentai cooler.
Jungle fury is really fun
Tevya Smolka And yet, this actually felt more like a far better live-action adaptation of the Dragonball mythos and franchise than Dragonball Evolution, itself.
Neo-Xgray87 yup indeed
Wish the Kung Fu Fighting bit hadn't been cut short like that, as it was a highlight, but it's better than not having the review at all.
I think the Kung Fu Fighting by the Vamps is better then the original. I'm a KFP fan yes!
I forgot about the actual fursuits. well, more repressed that memory
A Pet Named Steve the fun thing is, that was sentai footage.
I would've rathered you use the version of Kung Fu Fighting from Kung Fu Panda, myself
Autum Breeze I would prefer it if he used "this song is copyrighted"
Or the Bus Stop Version
Jared reminds me of Kylo Ren in some ways. Does anybody else see it?
Kylo Ren's armor isn't nearly as cool though.
Artemiy Solopov that's true.
Artemiy Solopov Very little is cooler than Dai Shi’s armor.
Artemiy Solopov he's also less whiny.
Is it the hair?
Daishi takes the form of a dragon, and the phoenix is the female counterpart to the dragon in Chinese mythology, so Camile wanting the phoenix spirit is an extension of her desire to please Daishi. Once she realizes that she will NEVER get Daishi's approval, she gives up the phoenix spirit.
jungle fury is actually 1 of my all time favorite power rangers serise
One of the reasons I love Jungle Fury so much is because of their usage of the theme song outside of using it as a theme song. I’m rewatching the series on Netflix (just finished watching “Ghost of a Chance Part 2”) and up until this point, they haven’t used the theme during a morph or fight once for sure, maybe twice? Now some could argue that this gives the impression that other fight music isn’t good enough, while I argue that the theme is a damn good one, and thus using it escalates the awesomeness of a fight. My favourite usage of the theme during a fight? When the spirit rangers join the team. Using the instrumental version and then continuing it into the worded version. Just amazing.
The character development (especially for Casey) was astounding and every ranger got to shine in some way, shape, or form during the season. The villains were interesting and likeable, Camile especially, and the escalation of allies to Dai Shi felt natural and was handled well. The action was fantastic, the fight choreography was excellent, and even the Kalish-splosions were tolerable (though I never really had a problem with them to begin with). Overall, I think Jungle Fury is a solid 9/10. And this is coming from a guy who hated it (without even viewing it) because it seemed like a rip-off of Wild Force (this was before I was aware that Power Rangers was adapted from Super Sentai).
Ya know I finally realised why I recognise the actor who plays Casey. Funny how after a season where they had a 2-parter called "Home And Away" one of the main characters is played by an actor who was in the Australian soap opera Home & Away at one point.
So....what I'm getting from this is.... Jared is Koichi from Digimon Frontier. Seriously, straight down to the Lion motif...right down to the BLACK Lion motif. ... I mean yes, Koichi was a sweetheart and (as far as I remember) never a bully, but he also had his memories screwed with by the big bad that wanted to use him. So Jared is Koichi, with a love interest instead of a twin.
YES! I was thinking this too! Lowemon fits Jared like a glove.
I was really disappointed to see Daishi as the final boss. I seriously thought he was being set up for a redemption arc. With Jared and Daishi being divided into two people again it was just a simple good guy bad guy relationship.
This was an redemption arc, though. Jarrod was a jerk possessed by evil and while the villains addressed him as Dai Shi, his arc involved Jarrod's past and trying to get him stronger for Dai Shi's sake. But at the same time, the heroes occasionally talked about him and even referred to him as Jarrod cuz that's who he is. A former student possessed by evil who only cared about himself. It was always a possessive relationship, in this case, a villain using a jerk.
I'm not the only one who looks at Dominic and expects Daredevil to show up
Casey walking through the rinshi is almost Carter Grayson Level Badass lol
A lot of these actors appeared in the Matrix and Legend of the Seeker. All shot in New Zealand.
Dexx Baker who appeared in the matrix?
Nick Ruocco Master Mao. He had that both epic and hilariously dramatic last stand scene against the machines in the climax of Matrix Revolutions.
I just looked it up to. The guy that played RJ voiced Vergil in the new Devil May Cry reboot, which I liked. And the yellow ranger was in new Cabin in the Woods. The more you now I guess.
wow guess this was a step up for him. lol
And Casey.... Wrote for and showed up in Megaforce.
So interesting thing about How to kill a mocking bird it is kinda a redemption story but not in the story itself based on what Harper Lee had said about her father who Atticus was based on. Though I think there are some hints that Atticus does want to make up for some things he did when he was younger.
This was my Power Rangers as a kid it will always be one of my favorites
The reason why the pai zhaq masters
transformed into animals in the finale of jungle fury is because. It was a gekiranger thing. because you see in the Super Sentai series jungle fury is based on gekiranger their masters were all animals. and the reason why they had them transform at the end of jungle fury is because a lot of gekiranger fans at the time were complaining that they changed the masters from Gekiranger into humans. personally though I never had a problem with that. I actually thought in some ways the Masters in jungle fury were more likable than the ones in gekiranger.
I love this series and I’ve been looking forward to you reviewing this series for some time. I’m happy to see that others enjoyed it as well.
I have to say that as a New Zealander. It's so strange seeing all these now prominent NZ actors in Power Rangers
Like who!?
Am I the only one who's getting reminded of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo whenever looking a Jared???
Hey Linkara, since you used "How Far We've Come" in RPM, does that mean you'll have to delay the release of that one just in case, similar to "Under Pressure" from In Space?
Yep, unfortunately. The next HOPR that'll be out is Lost Galaxy.
Ah, so we'll be getting the ones WITHOUT the "end of an era" songs first. Makes sense to me!
What about the copyright deadlock?
Pretty much how he compares Overdrive and Jungly Fury is basically how I currently compare Dino Charge and Ninja Steel
Kent Brown im still waiting for the rest of Ninja Steel to be released on Netflix. The 8 episodes i saw were pretty decent
Undertaker9711 it's far from perfect and I keep saying it's currently been good. But will half to see what Super Ninja Steel brings. Either it get better a bit unlikely worst or be like you said decent.
Eh, the season seems alright from the first few episodes I've wathced. The acting tho... that's hust awful.
Kent Brown You don't say.
Kent Brown At least it will be more bearable to watch than its' sentai counterpart, Ninninger.
I’d like to believe that Dai Shi was turning good as well as Jarod. Dai Shi has been pushed around by the masters and literally most of his help, if I was Dai Shi and the spirit rangers were treating me with respect, well I’d be more inclined to switch sides. Maybe I’m looking into this more than I should but it’s something to think about.
you know as a kid i always wanted to see see wild force team up with this team i think the animal ideologies would make a very good comparison to one another and besides would really like to see both wolf Rangers team up since they were my favorite in both teams
I look forward to when RPM comes back. It's the season I'm most curious about in regards to the ones down from stupid copyright policies.
Let me point something out. The highlight of Second Last Chance is the Rangers roll call; the 5 Jungle Fury Rangers, and the Spirit Rangers!
A white tiger battelizer would've been so dope
It's worrying how in this season, it's a possibility and is super easy to rip out an animal spirit
"Next time, we talk about the most devisive Power Rangers season."
It's funny to think that there was a time where people hated RPM. Not just thought it was overhyped or was simply okay. I mean downright hated it. Now don't get me wrong. RPM is not a series without flaws (whoever thought adding shaky cam to the fight scenes seriously needed to be fired). But there's a reason that it's been seen as one of if not the best season of Power Rangers by fans in the last decade. And it took chances that Power rangers didn't take before. And in many ways, hasn't taken since.
3:33 I thought the last time we seen 8 rangers toguether was on Mystic Force, not to mention that on SPD ther were 9 rangers on the finaly ( even thought Kat never use her Cat Ranger powers)
"To reach that upper level, your mind body, and soul, must be one. It's a sacrifice. It takes hard work. It's a way of life."

15:45 those animal forms were actually their characters in the super sentai series they were all different kinds of mentors
I gotta call out the friend zone comment. It’s true men are not entitled to a relationship. However she’s not entitled to his friendship to time. If Theo didn’t want to hang out with her, that’s his prerogative. That doesn’t make him a douche.
What's funnier in retrospect is that I wasn't introduced to Anna Hutchinson through this show. I knew her as Jules from Cabin In The Woods. Honestly, that making out with the Wolf Head scene makes a lot more sense now. XD
Change the "highest form of the animal spirits" suits to just more spirit rangers to their respective animals. I mean, why not it's easier than those over detailed, albeit shitty, suits
I hope you released RPM very soon Lewis.. But I can wait for a little longer.
He has said the next HOPR will be Lost Galaxy, because there's a music video in RPM that needs a cover made like In Space
I know.
Wow, if the full animal mode got this reaction, someone needs to send him Zyuohger...
I decided to acquire the Japanese version of this, Juken Sentai Gekiranger, because Red Tiger Ranger. Yes.
I love the suits.
You know what I like your jungle fury videos, linkara, it's two thing 1. The whole master Mao is Shadis from AoT abridged and 2. Every single mispronunciation of Pai Zhuaq and what not, it just cracks me up it's the way you say it even your rants tend to crack me up, just a little bit and i think the reason why is again line delivery. So anyway please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks for the new re-uploads love the content
I want a DVD box set of this show that has Master Mao’s AoT Abridged lines included in it.
That or just have Antfish redub all of his lines as Shadis with some assistance from TFS.
Am I the only one who feels they kinda bungled the "lesson" for Casey, that "he should not be a follower to become a master" by joining it with the "Jerrod can't be saved" storyline? I mean, Casey's hesitancy to perform the mastery test could be lack of confidence, yes, but the readiness of Theo and Lily could just as easily be seen as being cockiness, assuming that "oh, we masters already, see all the stuff we did?". You'd think being humble enough to assume you might not be yet a master would be a good thing (I mean, look at Ryu in street fighter, all the fights he's had, and he still thinks he's not good enough to train someone else).
Plus, having Master Mao yelling that "casey isn't trying to save jerrod he's trying to redeem himself" came completely out of left field, when Mao was the one who aggravated Jerrod in the first episode by just casting him aside (with violence) instead of approaching him in private. If anything, Mao should be the one who should be doing his darndest to redeem Jerrod, or at least, admit to Casey he was right and he was wrong.
Mao was actually trying to say "are you sure it's not your irrational guilt blinding you or did you truly see Jared's light through dai Shi's dark shroud and cloak" though I see how it came off that way
