Mightily Murdered Power Ringers #1 - Atop the Fourth Wall

Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this episode (the 150th!), Linkara looks at a Power Rangers parody comic!

Originally uploaded August 22nd, 2011.
ORIGINAL INFO: Go Go Power Ringers! Go away and never come back.
RUMINATIONS: This episode was actually one where a loooot of people disagreed with me. They saw it as ultimately a stupid, harmless (and occasionally funny) comic that I was overreacting to. They might be right in that regard, especially with a few years of hindsight (plus Marville to really highlight what true pain a parody comic can be). Still, I had a lot of fun doing it and it was great to actually have a comic creator on the show for once. Even they admitted it was crap, but hey, occasions like this are still work and sometimes you do what you need to. The next time a comic creator would show up on the show would be YEARS later, but not for the one I was actually reviewing at the time.
The ending fight was both to justify the purchase of the Green Ranger costume as well as because I was still operating under the “every Power Rangers comic review must have a fight” attitude to it. I freely admit I’m out of shape and I’m working on that for the AT4W Movie. We’ll see if I actually succeed in that department, but for now we have me wearing this silly little outfit. The line about “I could look like a clown and I wouldn’t care, since all that matters is I’m kicking your ass in it” was originally intended for the Zeo Ranger Linkara fight against Mechakara, but it ended up being cut, either because it interrupted the flow or because I had forgotten to film it. I can’t remember at this point.

[@Fullagarmovies7251]

Personally I think the "don't escalate a fight unless you have to" thing makes perfect sense. You don't send in a SWAT team to handle a mugging or Nuke every country you have a border spat with.

[@TheArceusftw]

Christian Banes I just can't help but be reminded of that scene from Boukenger(The sentai that became Operation Overdrive) where Natsumik(Bouken yellow) Demolished a horde of mooks in the Megazord!

[@SBaby]

That's because in Super Sentai, they don't mess around with stupid rules like that. If they see a threat, they eliminate it by whatever means they need to use to do so (well, most of the time).

[@LupineShadowOmega]

SBaby, yeah stupid. Um...using a giant robot seems like it would come with a certain amount of collateral damage no matter what, kinda similar to an airstrike. You don't need to blow up a neighborhood to take out a single guy usually.

[@alexjewett7455]

True

[@AutisticTea]

The end is actually one of the things I love about Linkara. His storylines do contain stuff that should be stupid or embarrassing but he's having such a good time, it doesn't matter. He loves what he does, and he just likes what he likes. And he is always aware that what he does is ridiculous. It just makes you go along with it and enjoy it.

[@MarvelandDC379]

In a sense, that's what Power Rangers represents. It's cheesy and goofy, but kids and older fans love it because that's the charm of Power Rangers that makes it unique and stand out.

[@loneshewolf74]

Why don't they have a parody of Rita Repulsa in this comic? Seriously, there are a million ways to make fun of a card-carrying villain with a goofy name who badly lip-syncs to her voice.

[@mattwo7]

Yea, Korea dubs Super Sentai and calls it Power Rangers.

[@mattwo7]

Also Japan actually dubs America's Power Rangers, with the actors from the respective Super Sentai they were adapted from filling the closest similar roles(I say this because it's often only the rangers and occasionally the mentor/commander that can easily be compared, I mean I doubt Zyuranger had an Ernie or a Bulk and Skull).

I'd like to point out that in the Boom comics, the Putties are actually terrifying. Heck, the dungeon in Rita's palace is MADE of them. Not only that, but they get sent down in large numbers, larger than what we saw in the show, and they attack civilians who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@ThePheonixHouse]

The peace conference got retconned to the Zack, Trini, and Jason became Omega Rangers in space. So the three rangers dying and then the of excuse made by Zordan is just weird to me.

The problem with this humour is that you have to do something with it. Yes, Tommy Oliver is the most marketable and well-known Power Ranger. Have him be a publicly known figure, secret identity and all, and make him manipulative but not a jackass. That's potentially funny but this is just lampshading at best and a severe lack of self-awareness at worst.

I was always proud of the Black Ranger being of color too. I never found it offensive and still don't. The only racist part I see is that people are offended because a "black" person is the Black Ranger even though we aren't LITERALLY BLACK. We're shades of brown.

Its rather a shame...I rather like the idea of a power rangers parody, but in general the few jokes that seemed to work were just going for low hanging fruit and as you said there was something mean spirited about the whole ordeal :/ but hey, it was really big of the comic creator to come out and say that its not work he was really proud of, like you said in the credits not everyone is perfect all the time. But yeah...I would love to see something a bit lighter in tone, making jokes about how there was a charity event like, every other episode, or that the show used a lot of repurposed footage...Or that Bulk and Skull were some of the best characters despite not being rangers. Though I suppose some of those jokes are still pretty easy XD but jokes like "the minions are useless" could be said about a lot of shows.

[@cheezemonkeyeater]

"Never escalate a fight unless you are forced to." You know, that's actually not bad advice. If you were to bring out the giant robots first, forcing the enemy to turn the monsters huge, that puts it on you when there's collateral damage. Plus, I recall there were a couple of times when the rangers destroyed a monster without it going huge. Also, the original Japanese show the stock footage came from is now available to watch for free. It happens even more often then. Also, the Japanese version is insane and I love it.

[@ryanangelastro504]

I know. They also finished monsters by combining their individual weapons or with a huge cannon.

[@Rabbitlord108]

I know taking out the monsters without using the Megazord happened multiple times in SPD.

[@nine_tails137]

Not only that, but if you compare that to the plethora of OP main characters in Isekai anime, using the giant robot to end regular enemies and not giant ones, would make both the fight scenes, and the show itself extremely boring.

Even though I'm 27 I still love the power rangers. I lived my life by the three rules Zordon put forth, it was one of the reasons my mom wasn't freaking out with the rest of the parents at school about it being violent. 1.) Never use your powers for personal gain. 2.) Never escalate a fight, unless Rita forces you to. 3.) Keep your identity a secret, no one must ever know that you are power rangers Now this comic on the other hand sucks! I've seen some bad comics before, but this is just bad. I know it's a parody, but it's like all those movies making fun of other movies. Disaster Movie, Super Hero Movie, Epic movie? No you needed to summon the power of one of the greatest power rangers to defeat it.

[@OrangeRangerVideos]

1 and 2 I can understand, but how exactly do you apply Rule 3 to common life? The closest I can come to an everyday application is "Don't brag about the things you are good at," but that seems like a stretch.

[@lorddrayvon1426]

To be fair, this is better than the "Da Movie" trilogy. This at least tries to be funny whereas those, albeit to a lesser degree Date Movie, try to ape pop culture and be hip and trendy. Failing to be funny is one thing but those movies don't even try.

I'm sure positive thinking and attorney were just jokes on 'the power of...' phrase. Also, I believe the Spielberg zaur was the skeleton from the Jurassic Park logo. Also I'm surprised you didn't make any Captain Planet jokes, because I'm pretty sure that's where the rings came from.

10:49 All these years later. And I find this extra goofy knowing there's a Scooby-Doo cartoon (Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue) where ole scoob gets superpowers from eating magical Scooby Snacks (Also wish one of the zordz was a parody of Grimlock since he created the Technobots. Who are an Autobot combiner team in the G1 season 3 episode Grimlock's New Brain)

I'm sorry, but the Peace Conference thing actually ended me. They got me, that was killer.

Man, this was like the first AT4W episode I have ever seen, I think Really is a nostalgic feeling to be had here

Goldar does look Anubis-ish, and he tag-teamed with a sphinx monster in one of the early episodes.

Linkara's one-liner was amazing

22:20 Lord.....I'm lost! XD

[@colinmasterson666]

I would totally watch a power rangers series staring Linkara.

This Comic Sucks, but this is one of top favorite reviews, so YAY!

[@moonkingyukito]

i think you did an amazing job and was wondering, did you make your own costume or did you buy it and if it was bought, who made it for you? thanks for the amazing review

27:28 THAT GREEN RANGER SUIT IS AWESOME!

[@Rgoid]

“Power of Barnie!” “Power of Deeno!” “Power of Godzilla!” “Power of Spielberg!” “Power of Positive Thinking!” “Power of Attorney!” === Uh . . .

[@Rgoid]

Dylan Sharp Thanks. Consider it added.

A thing we missed: “Morphin” is also a word for morphine. It got bad enough that the merch occasionally became “Mighty Morph’n Power Rangers”

[@YourUncleBenis]

I believe that was a UK thing. Kinda like Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles.

I REMEMBERED THE NAME NIGEL NG FROM THIS VIDEO AND NOTHING ELSE AND I THOUGHT UNCLE ROGER WROTE MIGHTILY MURDERED POWER RINGERS

[@skinnyzachfilms]

Wow. The comic sounds like the "Littlest CEO'' from the "Billy West Podcast"... BOOM! How's that for a obscure geeky reference!?

[@jillmo6458]

WOW, that was amazingly cathartic!

[@papabearlives9995]

actually Charles Barkley said he wasn't a role model.
