Power Rangers Dino Super Charge Episode 21

Finales.

This is where everything is supposed to come together.

Everything is paid off.

Emotional arcs come to a close.

All your plot threads come together.

You have a huge fight.

This is the one that will make the favorite episode lists.

The hype for this episode was real.

Finales are Chip Lynns calling card.

He co-wrote theIn SpaceandLost Galaxyfinales, two of the most beloved finales in this entire franchise.

No matter what the season was like, Chip Lynn could always deliver a solid finale no matter what.

I mean come on; hes the guy who dropped a building on Venjix in theRPMfinale.

How could he do us wrong?

Thats what I get for believing inPower Rangers.

Lets break this down, shall we?

Good god, Im not even one sentence in and this is some nonsense.

Okay, another reference for hardcore fans to what I assume wasKamen Rider.

Much like Kyoryuger Galaxy and Sentai Six, this is inane.

Okay, onward we go.

This is but the first of the Deus ex Machinas in this episode.

Lets count them, shall we?

The only way to unlock this power is to blow up the Dark Energem.

Okay, but if a blast from a Megazord cant do it, what can?

I know science in thePower Rangersuniverse just straight up doesnt match ours.

it’s possible for you to breathe on the moon.

There are colored explosions behind you when you morph.

But like… Black holes do not work- AH SCREW IT WHO CARES.

The Earth is gone and its all the Rangers fault.

Keeper instantly lets them know they can now time travel cause the Dark Energem is gone.

….

Deus ex Machina Counter: 4

You know, they could have set this up.

This could have been a thing.

The Energems were established to stop aging, so time was already a thing with them.

Heckyl in this episode even mentions, the legends were true.

Itd be all justified!

But nope, the Rangers take a ride through the time hole and end up on Earth.

Ivan, somehow, knows its the day Keepers ship crashed on Earth.

How does he know that?

The ones from the past.

That werent bonded to them yet.

Deus ex Machina Counter: 6

Is it that the Energems are bonded throughout time?

No, that cant be right.

That wouldnt make any sense.

What a pay off.

Totally felt that eight hundred years of darkness, dude.

But yo, things are about to get real.

Yeah, they actually play the record scratch sound effect just before Sledge grows.

This is supposed to be like… serious, right?

You just SENT EARTH INTO A BLACK HOLE.

This is not a time for wacky slapstick humor.

They lock the other monsters up and send the ship and Sledge into the sun.

Morality with monsters in thePower Rangersuniverse is a tricky subject but like… What bad did these characters do?

Just because the monsters on the ship are criminals doesnt mean they deserved to get brutally murdered.

Even Zordons wave in Countdown to Destruction didnt destroy every monster.

Hell, what crime did Poisandra commit besides hanging out with Sledge?

Was it a crime worth MURDER?

These are the past versions of these characters.

Are the Rangers judging them for their future crimes?

This is some would you kill a baby Hitler stuff and they gloss over it like NOTHING.

But sure, whatever.

Oh, if you expected there to be some big fight with all ten Rangers?

Stop expecting things fromPower Rangers.

First off, how?

It robs the show of any consequence.

These guys had to learn how to live without their friends and family.

They had to learn to adjust.

Now they just go back in time like nothing ever happened.

Koda will accelerate the English language by a few millennia while Ivan will invent the hamburger.

Keeper also says Heckyl who…

If Sledges ship was sent into the sun, shouldnt Heckyl be dead?

Shouldnt he have vanished the moment that happened?

Which I guess would stop the series from ever happening….

Deus ex Machina Counter: 10.

But its all good!

Now Heckyl is the Keeper of the Dark Energem… Because sure!

Who needs consequences for their actions!

Who needs consequences for murdering untold millions?

Zenowing goes with him cause I guess hed rather have sex with Heckyl than Riley?

Ivan and Koda go home and the other Rangers return to present day.

Even though theyve done that already.

But this is where things get weird.

And I mean just… Weird.

They get an alert and run to the Dinosaur Museum.

Which isnt a museum anymore.

Its the Amber Beach Dinosaur…

The alert was about the triceratops having indigestion.

Okay, so the Rangers stopped the asteroid from hitting the Earth.

Now the dinosaurs are still alive.

WHERE DO I START?

Humanity would not resemble anything like it is today.

Having dinosaurs around would completely alter the state of our planet.

OUR MODERN DAY SOCIETY WOULD NOT EXIST.

Not to mention, it totally nukesDino Thunderfrom having ever existed.

Its played as a total joke.

Who thought this was a good idea?

Who sat down and thought, You know how this show should end?

Dinosaurs being alive again.

What purpose does it serve besides a really dumb joke?

This will never be addressed again, You wont see random dinosaurs hanging out with theNinja Steelcast.

Theres nothing to like in this finale.

The whole thing is rushed.

Theres barely any moments of genuine character interaction or down time.

We never get a sense of how these characters feel about the situation.

Its just plot point after plot point.

It never takes a second to breathe.

How was this so poorly planned?

Back in the day seasons were written while the Sentai they were adapting was still airing.

Some lack of planning there was somewhat understandable.

They had it all from the start.

Theres no reason this ending should have felt so rushed and included so many Deus ex Machinas.

I cant believeDino Super Chargefell this hard.

This is one of the worst finalesPower Rangershas ever had.

TheDino Chargecast, who just seemed tapped out in this episode, cant save it.

Even the worst finales inPower Rangershistory at least attempted to wrap things up in a satisfying way.

Aside from all the dumb logic choices, the lack of consequences is what gets me.

Jesus, why cant anything have consequences in this show?

Jeez, other seasons have done this fairly well.

Diabolico, who was a sympathetic villain, died.

Coles parents stayed dead in Wild Force.

Why cant any of the Rangers actions have a negative consequence?

Why cant Heckyl own up to what he did?

He could have totally sacrificed himself to save the Earth and that would have been great, BUT NOPE.

Theres no grand plan here.

This will never get explained away.Power Rangersjust doesnt care.

This finale was supposed to be the best the show had to offer.

It was supposed to be a three-course meal with all the trimmings.

We all sat down at the start of the season waiting for it.

And lo, it was ash in our mouths.
