Thoughts on "Jungle Fury" feelings in the fandom


Well it's been five episodes of this new series and so far I'm enjoying the series much more than I did Operation Overdrive. I actually can relate to these Rangers which is a big leap from last years team. You see there is nothing initially wrong or entirely disliked about the Operation Overdrive team(some will argue against this) but the fact that they were all super professionals who lived in a mansion and had everything practically handed to them every time things were tough, just made the team feel, I dunno-not practical?

Here you have a team of regular joes who don't have a mansion, but a loft. Who don't bum around but actually have to keep up with jobs. These rangers seem more like the Teenagers With Attitude from the first season because they just DON'T have everything thrown at them-yet.

Sure the power ups, bikes and zords will come eventually but right now they're just a team with the most awesome leader in many years. I say that at this rate we could very well have a team that becomes more endearing than the SPD, DT or PRNS teams.
That could be stretching it though, fans seem so unimpressible in some forums, while in others they can't get enough of this show.

I had high hopes for last year, this year I decided to stay grounded but positive that thing would be better and so far I've seen a better set of characters both good and bad early on and a with a ton of stuff to take care in future episodes I'm bursting at the seems waiting to see what happens next.
