What with wracking my brain for all that it might remember about Transfomers yesterday, I sorta noticed the I'mSurprisedTheyDidn'tSue level of similarity between Megatron and Megazord from Power Rangers (both in name and general transformationiness).
This then got me thinking about Power Rangers in general, and how even though we made fun of it a lot (I'm sure Shoshona would be just shocked to learn this), we still watched it.
And then it occurred to me that either my enjoyment of Power Rangers was an early sign of my current fondness for cheese/craptastic scifi movies, or watching it in my more formative years somehow innoculated me against the horrors of "acting" so atrocious it needs to be put in quotes and cardboard special effects.

blah lj ate this coment the 1st time i wrote it

i think power rangers was the 1st thing we liked becuse of how bad it was or it was so bad it was good although not as bad as its copycatting vr troopers with the not flinching in elplostions and big bad bettel borgs wich just the title is enought to make me giggle

we were alreay used to the cardborad since we saw some tos trek and old school dr who when we were even younger cuz dad was watching it

i also think our love of darkwing duck is why i like batman better then superman super powers do not a hero make and xanders yellow crayon

Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
