What do you think chinese call black people?

I dunno, what's cantonese for black?

Although the recent series are quite crap, there is some totty in them. I really liked the blonde in that Ninja one. The weird thing is, they seem to make a completely new series of it every few months these days, with completely different characters and settings. At least with the originals their zords changed and a few characters changed but it was still basically the same.

i used to LOVE power rangers, the story was great about the white ranger and what not. I might actually purchase them for memories sake. great viewing for me as a child!

Now that I've stopped laughing, I think I'll post. My friend loved Power Rangers, he would bring his little action figures everywhere, for walks in the park, in the bath, shopping and going to bed. Now I'm sure you are all wondering what's wrong with that? Well apart from him being 16yrs old and 6ft2 tall and always getting strange looks....nothing.

It was embarassing to be around him at times. Do you know those fountains you see in shopping centres...well he dropped one of his figures in it and the look on his face, you'd swear he was 2 yrs old. I'm almost sure I seen a tear as well. And you can also guess what he used to dress up as on Halloween and fancy dress parties....you guessed it..

lol Funny looking back at it, but at the time it was awful.

And I thought having the theme tune in my music library was gay.

Kreeeee · 14 Apr 2006 at 23:52

I loved the Zords toys

They rocked.

Ah the original power rangers, takes me back.

GMTV mornings were one big spandex fest with Mr Motivator and Power Rangers :cool:

I have ALL the original zord toys, infact the megazord is on my desk I use it as a key holder

..that said, even the original power rangers were a rip off of the Super Sentai (and it's zillion pre-power ranger clones). Yes I got to watch those when I was three. I even had toys of those shows.

But yea, in mandarin, you use "black man" to refer to someone black. It is pretty normal. There are worse ways to refer someone black/caucasian too. Back on the earlier comment, I don't really think it is a big deal about who they cast as the black/yellow ranger. Can you imagine Zack as the pink ranger? :eek:

I'm with what someone earlier said

Transformers, Mask and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles over the girly power rangers

It takes them 20 hand movements to press one button!

(alos, G.I Joe I used to like as a kid as well

, so GO JOE!)

Putties
Angel Grove
Tommy
Lord Zedd

ahh these words hit deep in my mind and bring back memories!! I used to be a power ranger in my school playground a lot and got hurt

why didnt lord zedd and rita crack on to the fact that putties are weak and always get anihaliated by our teenage heroes without even inflicting a scratch?

This always seemed to happen:

redranger said:
Alright guys, lets fight the monster on foot...

.... oh no its too strong! lets get in our zoids!...

.... oh no! we arnt winning we must form as one!....

me said:
JUST USE THE DAMN MEGASWORD ALREADY! JESUS CHRIST, ITS ALL YOU EVER DO! IF YOU DID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE NO ONE WOULD DIE AND THEY WOULDNT HAVE TO REBUILD YOUR STUPID VALLEY HIGH TOWN EVERY DAMN DAY!

redranger said:
... Its our last chance, lets use the megasword!

me said:
*Sigh*

And the person who owned the building where the green dinosaur came from the ocean must have got really really peeved off. The same building fell to the floor every episode. I can just imagine him going "NO! Not again you great big green *******!"

sam83uk · 15 Apr 2006 at 12:51

Also.. it was always rita and lord zedds wish to destroy the earth.. why send down stupid little monsters to some small american town, wouldn't their efforts be better spend creating large nuclear weapons and launching them at earth
