All I want out of a new Power Rangers thing is an Allosaurus Zord. I was a dinosaur obsessed kid in the 90s, MMPR had me hooked instantly, but I've always wanted a Zord of my favourite dinosaur.

Wait, in ALL the many dino-themed seasons of Power Rangers we've never gotten a Allosaurus toy?
*Googles*
Oh...well, okay. If you want to get technical, there is one Allosaurus "zord". Depending on how liberal you want to get with calling something a "zord".

I'm not even sure what you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure I'll find reviews like this more entertaining than whatever it is itself, so I hope you keep doing them!
I wouldn't exactly call a single post made on Saturday "the topic of this thread for the last few days."
Yeah I have to agree. The topic of the last few posts at least have been about how the Power Rangers show never had an Allosaurus.
It also appears that the topic of that show is the last post on a previous page, and I for one actually missed it because of that.

A NOBLE DISCUSSION IF THERE EVER WAS ONE!
"Wait, why are we teaming, again? Or are we fighting?"
"Nostalgia."
"Okay, great. But with like, over 25 Ranger teams, why do we look like knock-offs of you?"
"Nostalgia."
"Fine, but do we get weapons?"
"Nope. Sorry."
"But why?"
"Did you have weapons before?"
"No."
"So you don't get them now."
"But why--"
*both* "Nostalgia."
"Alright, got it. Let's just go."
*together* "We need Dinozord Power, now! Tyrannosaurus!"
"...mine's bigger."
"No, you're just smaller."
I did a MMPR through LG rewatch during COVID lockdown. I went into the season two cast change with an open mind. I was a Jason fan as a kid, and kind of hated Rocky on principal. So going into that rewatch I was really trying to give him a chance.
And it's just not there. The writing did him no favours. Once they cycled through the "search and replace 'Jason' with 'Rocky'" scripts, the stuff they gave him just made him The Worst
Tommy's popularity just overshadowed all else. The writers just didn't care about any of the guys besides Tommy. His popularity really was just so detrimental to the other cast members. The show went from being about a team of five or six heroes to being about one hero and his five sidekicks.I did a MMPR through LG rewatch during COVID lockdown.

IIRC, Rocky only ever got two focus episodes in all of MMPR, but his Season 2 one was the infamous "Rocky Just Wants to Have Fun", while his Season 3 one just made him into a diet soda version of Billy instead of letting him be his own character.
Zeo gave him three focus episodes, the first of which finally gave him the unique character type of "lovable idiot" but really didn't do much with it, the second one was the one where he got turned into a tree, and the third had a premise that sounded good on paper ("Rocky is jealous of everyone paying so much attention to Jason that he feels left out") especially since he was the one who replaced Jason, but it was half-baked in execution because it also had to share screentime with the way more important subplot of King Mondo making his final stand against the rangers before being killed off by them for nearly the rest of the season (before returning back to life for the final four episodes). That should have been the A-plot of the episode, not Rocky's lousily written jealousy of Jason.
To say nothing of his unceremonious departure from the series in the Turbo movie, and his absence from "Forever Red" (I'd have put him in either the Ninja Ranger suit or the Metallic Armor suit and swapped out Eric since, while he wears red, the Quantum Ranger is not an uppercase R "Red Ranger" like the others).
They really did Rocky dirty.
I am forever grateful that Once & Always at least gave him the hardcore moment of destroying Minotaur by just impaling him right in the chest with a midair downward thrust. He never got to do something that cool beforehand.
