Ninja Steel reaches the end of its first arc and it’s nothing but an EPIC fail.
ThisPower Rangers Ninja Steelreview contains spoilers.
The show keeps acting like something EPIC is happening.
Brody and Ripcons rivalry.
The action movie crossfade as the Rangers defeat Ripcon.
The reveal of Levi actually being Aiden.
The team all singing together.
On paper I guess these are epic, if the only thing youre looking for is plot progression.
The problem here is that none of its earned.
Its all telling with no showing.
It would deserve the EPICCCCCC cross fade of all the Rangers attacking.
Instead, it just feels like another monster of the day getting defeated.
Completely disposable and no one will remember it next week.
If only it wasnt handled so haphazardly.
It raises too many questions.
How did Madam Odius know to steal Levis memories?
How did the frog guns transfer the memories from Aiden Bot to Levi?
If another Ranger had been standing there would they have gotten the memories?
The happenstance of that memory transfer were almost as ludicrous as Prestons ribbon two weeks ago.
Why does Brody so readily accept Levi as his real brother?
After Aiden Bot tricked him youd think hed be a bit more cautious about it.
Once again,Ninja Steelmakes no attempt to have any kind of real human drama.
Is this supposed to be sweet because theyre all family now?
If this had been the culmination of eleven episodes of the team bickering yet slowly coming together?
This scene would be emotionally powerful.
Instead, its all shine with no substance.
Also, no one holds their guitar that way.
