With a tragic back-story along with some wacky misunderstandings of Earth, he always brings a smile to my face. His debut episode is surprisingly solid and he gets to have some real character moments. The bright spot in all this is the sixth ranger, Orion. This sounds like it’s bad and yeah it’s low on the list but there’s just something fun in watching how bizarre it all ends up as. It’s the oddest string of choices ever seen in a Power Rangers season, with arbitrary footage usage, questionable continuity nods, and a finale that should be spectacular but ends up falling flat. When it’s bad? It just makes you go, “Why?!” But you know, the fun kind of “Why?!” When Super Megaforceis good? It’s amazing. Mack genuinely wrestling with who he is and hating his father for lying to him for long is extremely compelling. However, the season contains the episode “Things Not Said,” which is one of the best episodes Power Rangers ever produced. The characters didn’t work well, the premise of treasure hunting was hampered by the lack of budget, and the team-up was lackluster. Overdrive is when things just went wrong in the Disney era of the show. The start of the season had a few decent episodes (“ Tough Love” was a standout, along with “ Love Stings“) but by the end we had descended into the still shocking misfire of “ Sheriff Skyfire.” 23. The only plotline it truly manages to pull off are Victor’s quest for his 50th trophy. The main plots of Ninja Steelwere resolved so this season feels like it’s killing time. In the years to come Super Ninja Steel will simply be known as “that one with the 25th anniversary episode“.
At least Victor and Monty are a constant joy. The show messes around with baffling episodes (looking at you, ‘ The Ranger Ribbon‘) before rushing its climax with little build-up.
