Afternoon Delights: “Green Ranger Beat Down”
This hilarious video from Markus Prime is a careful dissection of the subtle intricacies of that time the Green Ranger fought the Power Rangers inside their own Zord.
From the lone jump atop mech’s head towering above, to the slap heard ‘round Angel Grove, and much more, Prime does a great job of infusing his commentary with comedy while also exhibiting some sincere affection for Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Watching one of the sentai go HAM on the others is delightful on its own, but Prime’s composed description, along with lessons in modern vernacular, is a terrific bit of escapism.
Oddly enough, I never watched much Power Rangers, though I do remember seeing all of these episodes where an evil Ranger came and fucked shit up. Ay-yi-yi indeed, Alpha 5; Ay-yi-yi indeed.
