Personally the thing I liked about Prince Phillip is that ordinary super rich and out of touch characters like him tend to try to take shortcuts to gain great power and become all the more obsessed and try to take it by force when something gets in their way. Phillip though tried to do it the right way by training to become a better fighter and using his vast resources for good. When it looked like that wasnt working he was willing to hand over the energem to the rangers so that it could go to someone more worthy. Honestly I thought that was a rather mature character moment for someone like him..

[@wanhanisah7718]

Yes!

[@WCWit]

"Keeper is also there..." Yep, that's about his contribution to Dino Charge as a whole

[@prince_nocturne]

Mentor characters tend to come in 3 flavors: useful and sometimes eventual rangers (Tommy: Dino Thunder, RJ, Doggie Cruger, Doctor K.), sagely wise but otherwise uninvolved (Zordon... mostly Zordon for 5 seasons), or unhelpful and annoying obstacles to the rest of the cast (Keeper, Mentor Ji, and bargain-bin Zordon... I mean Gosei)

[@kiwiangeldust6912]

Prince_Nocturne Eh mentor Ji wasn’t that bad

[@livmashupmansen191]

@@prince_nocturne Gosei, after a little bit of time, I realized he was the useless version of Zordon, he just wasn't as important to the plot as Zordon. Zordon could seem useless, but at least at the end, he was willing to be destroyed for the good of. others (In Space).

[@prince_nocturne]

@@kiwiangeldust6912 Ji was pretty useless most of the time, and actively tried to keep the 6th member off the team DESPITE seeing his skills and honor as a warrior / ranger. Though his 'acceptance' of it was 'let's shove a fish into the mouth of someone having PTDS from being a fish.' Because that'll fix 'em, and not give more nightmares of eating himself like he was ALREADY EXPERIENCING. Seriously, Mentor Ji was written just... just so bad. Like pretty much all of Samurai.

[@nightshroud9671]

And the fact he stolen the mentor role from Zenowing. Zenowing's Sentai counterpart was the mentor but for some reason they thought it was a wonderful idea to demote him to extra pretty much and came up with Keeper.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

Despite the nonsense ending and fart jokes, I really enjoy Dino Charge, mostly because of the likable characters and for the creativity, for the fact that the creators weren't afraid to embrace the fun crazy mystical sci-fy side of Power Ranger, having a team of rangers formed not just by humans but also by aliens, caveman and knight.

[@matthewkoschade1269]

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@@matthewkoschade1269 Yeah, not to mention it opened the door for many hilarious moments (the knights of Ivan was one of the funniest moments in Power Ranger history, alongside Zhane trying sneak out of ranger duty just so he can have a date with Astronema and every Bulk and Skull scene).

I am so glad I watched this season. I enjoyed it a lot because they made the characters the focus. Even filler episodes showed a lot more than others. The main story of Dino Gem hunting was a backdrop. The characters were the focus. Knowing Sentai with so many filler episodes, this style of writing is genius.

I wish PR samurai & megaforce had that charm. Even though it doesn't, what's real is our headcanon

[@asfiaa5501]

Hi

[@kylestubbs8867]

Two small things I liked about this season: 1. It has a decent amount of unmorphed fight scenes. Not only is it a healthy independence from Sentai footage, but it also proves that the Rangers can fight heroically without the full extent of their powers, and are therefore more deserving of them. 2. There's a clear reason why the villains attack so close to the Rangers. The monsters don't just _happen_ to attack within running or driving distance; They covet something the Rangers are tasked with protecting, and cause mass destruction to draw them out. It makes a comfortable amount of sense.

[@gallantmon4]

First episode of Dino Charge season 1 had entirely 0% Sentai footage so yeah, just thought I'd mention that since you said Sentai Footage.

[@williamnguyen8663]

Kyle Stubbs that’s literally why all villains attack the rangers. They want something from them or they’re in the way. It really doesn’t make too much sense since unlike other villains, sledge never attacks them in civilian form

[@kylestubbs8867]

William Nguyen Yes, but there’s always the question of “Why are the villains attacking an area _that_ close to the strongest resistance?”. For _Lost Galaxy,_ it’s because they want the Rangers’ Quasar Sabers. For _Lightspeed Rescue,_ it’s because Mariner Bay was built right where Queen Bansheera’s palace used to be. Some seasons have better answers than others, and the Energems in _Dino Charge_ make for a decent explanation in that respect.

[@livmashupmansen191]

Yeah, good point, I didn't realize that until watching some of "The Disney Brain's" videos point that out and it actually made sense why they were there in one spot.

[@kayakym8807]

i always appreciated the natural chemistry all of the characters had with each other. i feel this brought dino charge leagues ahead of the other neo saban era shows cause they didn't have to flat out tell the audience "oh gia and emma are best friends" instead every character had a recognized relationship with every other character in the show

[@xhielorei]

The main reason why dino charge is one of my favorites are the relationships. I do believe they are friends who trust and care for each other, something that many seasons fail. There is this group of teens working together to save the planet, but you don't seem them doing things together so often, these dorks, you can see them spending time together and having fun, and you can feel the cast is having fun too. I hope dino knights it's set in the same universe post time shift (that I still hate so much)

[@GuillermoSmyser]

The main cast actually lived together too as roommates. This was not done by other seasons. I wonder if that played into it. Brennan and Yoshi both seem very educated and enthusiastic about the show so they might have been more invested than it being "just a job." Again, just speculation.

[@shadowhunter9835]

I agree. One of my favorite casts of rangers.

[@livmashupmansen191]

Yeah, another thing that I noticed in Dino Charge, they were a more tightly-knit group without too much drama, but still close.

[@wanhanisah7718]

The diversity of each ranger's background is what made the season of my personal fav ever. You got ordinary humans, a caveman, a legendary knight, a royal prince, an elderly (before transfered to Kendall), an alien, and a long lost father which form a team. Oh, and don't forget the epic theme songs

[@KnightRaymund]

People are way too harsh on Super Charge. It did spin its wheels a bit and wasn't as good as the first season, but it wasn't bad... outside the ridiculous final episode.

[@bluebros1813]

At least I like every episode

[@MidwestToku]

It had too much filler

[@GuillermoSmyser]

I agree. I think we expected Super to continue to build up better and better than DC but it didn't so when it didn't get better and better (and actually got a bit worse) it FELT like a huge fall from grace. It didn't meet high expectations then stumbled a bit... not exactly deserving of a lynch mob.

No problem, I'm just really excited to see this video!!! Dino Charge was actually the show that got me to watch Power Rangers again. I had barely seen any Power Rangers since Mystic Force and some of RPM. When I saw this one on Netflix, I decided to give it a shot, and I didn't regret it. I binge watched both seasons in a week or two. I'm still not sure if it's my top favorite (since childhood bias and from how long ago I watched some of the other seasons), but it definitely made me believe in the show again!

@@DJcystrom Same. I hadn't seen anything since SOME of SPD when I thought I was too old for PR. As a young father I saw DCh on Netflix and was like "Oooh, boy. Son, you 'gon learn today" I ended up liking it more than him lol. Then this channel got me to check out Kyoryuger and it might now be my favorite show of all time... other than Zyuranger I hadn't seen any sentai and now have checked out several.

[@bludj992]

Dino Charge was horrible. The costumes were terrible and the plot was predictable and while nothing is necessarily wrong with predictability, it was just plain bad. The villains weren't much better either. There was that one villain in season 1 (Heckyl) and he was cool but in season 2, he was just wasted. If you want a good dinosaur power rangers, Dino Thunder is where it's at.

[@SK-yx7hm]

I really hope hasbro moves PR off of nickelodean, and either partnering with another streaming site or something else entirely. I think getting PR off of nickelodean, would shake off that nickeldean feel to their show. So hasbro can truly say that it isnt apart of regular tv, and that PR can evolve and change as a franchise as well.

[@TitanCrash630]

I fully agree with you. But I think Hashbro is under contract to air PR on Nick for another 2 to 4 years,

[@majinish]

Sledge and Snide are without a doubt my favorite villains of the franchise which says a lot since I’ve watched since the debut of Day of the Dumpster. For Sledge it’s more about how Saban made him a legitimate boss. Take MMPR, the rangers beat Goldar, Rita’s right-hand man, in their first fight causing him to retreat; contrast this to Sledge and his group proving they’re not to be taken lightly despite their comedic arguments among each other. The rangers couldn’t win, they needed more experience, more training, more gear. As for Snide, he was the definition of evil. This guy was the most two-faced, backstabbing villain I’ve seen throughout any Power Rangers series. He stabs Heckyl in the back, betrays Lord Arcanon even defeating every zord combination Arcanon’s crew threw at him, and was going to turn on Sledge albeit Sledge did it first which lead to Snide’s destruction against the rangers, Ultrazord, and Heckyl.

[@DragonStar524]

Dino Charge and Supercharge was a great season. I hope that Ryusoulgers adaptation takes notes from this season.

[@slimer44producciones3]

Me before watching Dino charge: This Keeper looks like a wise mentor that can help the rangers when they have problems Me after watching Dino charge: He is there... sometimes

[@Pokegirl3515]

The dino seasons seem to always be the one of the best season in their specific era of power rangers MMPR - worst of the dino seasons but had iconic characters. When people think of PR they think of Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, Kimberly and Tommy that last one being in many seasons outside of his debut. It actually creates creative reasons for the new power ups unlike some other seasons *cough* megaforce *cough* Dino Thunder: Best legacy season and it perfectly balances both the old and new rangers. It adds resolution to Tommy's story while Conner, Ethan, Kira and Trent come out as more well rounded individuals Dino Charge: It came after the worst anniversary seasons yet never had the same problems (thanks to Judd Lynn). Firing Tzachor was the best decision that came from the neo saban era and it shows through the writing (which has significantly improved)

Personally, I don't think Supercharge was all that bad, it's still one of the best Neo-Saban seasons. If you ask me, Dino Charge was more character-driven while Supercharge felt more 'plot'-driven.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

My pitch for how could be Hasbro's adaptation of Ryusoulger: Title : Power Rangers Jurassic Knights Plot : 5000 years ago there were a huge war between mankind and Archfiends, monsters and demons who lived for conquer and destruction. The Archfiends end up finding their challenges in the kingdom of Avalon, in which they were confronted by a group of brave knights and their allies, the Jurassic Beastzords. In the end of the war, Avalon sorcerers were able to seal the Archfiends. While the survivers of Avalon went to island to rebuild their kingdom, the sorcerers granted eternal youth to one of the knights, given him the mission to stay behind and watch over the Archfiends, knowing full well that someday the seal would break and the Archfiends would be free to take over the world. The series would take place in the modern day, in which it would be revealed that the Avalon people still alive and well, living in a island, hidden by magic. Knowing that the Archfiends are about to escape and that their magic would not be able to prevent that, the Avalon leaders would select 5 young knights in training to send to the "ancient world" to protect it from the villains. Despite keeping the fun moments, unlike the recent ranger seasons, in my pitch, Power Rangers Jurassic Knights would a more balanced tone to it, having also some drama and serious moments exploring the rangers past and their dynamics, much like Lost Galaxy and Time Force. The series would also have some connections and references to other seasons. For exemple, it would be revealed that the Archfiends are supernatural creatures like the demons from Lightspeed Rescue; The Jurrasic zords are actually Galactic beast that came to Earth to help the knights; It would be revelaed that one of the allies of Avalon were the Animarium warriors. Heroes Tristan (Red ranger) - He would be the charming and friendly leader of the group. Unlike the other Rangers, who had parents and family, Tristan was a orphan who was taken in by one the Avalon knights, who saw potential in the young man. due to the bullying he suffer for being a poor kid from the streets, Tristan decide to become a knight in order to gain the people's respect and approval. Despite been a little brash and over confident, Tristan is not a fool and always tries to find better solutions to help his friends . Diana (Pink Ranger) - The badass and determinate member of the girl. Diana backstory is kind similar to Disney's Mulan, since she became a ranger in order to replace her father, who was sick at the time. This causes Diana to always tries to dedicate herself to improve and become a better warrior, in order to save the world and live up to her father's expectations. Marcus ( Blue Ranger) - He would be the wise and curious member of the group.Despite coming from a mystical island. Marcus would become fascinated by mordern society science an inventions, slowy using this knowloge to improve and create more weapons for the team to help in the fight against the villains. In his backstory it would be revelaed that he became a knight against the wishes of his mother, who wanted him to become a librarian like his father and brother. Wally (Green Ranger) - The young and impulsive member of the group. Wally's main arc would be his attempts to prove his worthy as warrior and gain independence of his brother Hal and in the process becoming a more experient warrior and also a more understanding brother. Hal (Black Ranger) - The kind and overly protective member of the group. Hal's arc would be him learning to not be so overly protective and accept his brother evolution as warrior. Gabe (Gold Ranger) - The shy and clumsy member of the group as well the link of the heroes with the modern world. At first Gabe would be just the comic relief, in same way as Bulk and Skull, but always showing loyalty to the rangers and trying to help them. This would lead to the "Jurrasic Gold Ranger arc", in which the rangers would recive help from a mysterious gold ranger, who know who they are and has weapon that the ranger never saw before. Despite never appearing unmorphed, this gold ranger would become a ally of the rangers during season one, as well a friend and mentor for Gabe. As the series moves the conclusion of it's first season, the gold ranger would start to become weak. This would result in the revelation that he is actually Gabe from a alternative future, who travel back in time to help the rangers during a battle in which they were defeated. Because he change history, the gold ranger is now ceasing to exist. Before he disappear, the gold ranger would pass his powers to Gabe, who would be inspire by his future self to finally embrace the hero inside of him and help the rangers as the new Gold Ranger. Just like his future self was able to change his destiny and became a hero in his timeline, Gabe was able to do the same. Sir Jon - He would be the last of the knights who fought against the Archfiends in the past, reciving from Avalon's sorcerers eternal youth, so he could live until mordern day to be the mentor of the new generation of rangers. Jon is noble and act as father figure to the rangers, and despite been tough sometimes, he truly cares for his disciples. He possess as armor he can use to help the rangers. However, the use of the armor drains his energy granted by the spell that kept him alive all these years. If he uses the armor for a long period of time, he will cease to exist. Villains Much like Jungle Fury, despite the Archfiends having many members, only two specific would be important for series itself : Lady Arkana - She would be the cunning and manipulative sorcerer of the Archfiends, helping the group against the rangers, but secretly working on her own agenda, wanting to become the leader of the group. In the end of the season 1, she would take over the Archfiends becoming the main villain in season 2 Zarc the Archfiend Knight - He would be mysterious and badass knight of the villains. Unlike the other archfiends, Zarc, at first, actually possess human form, using a mystical armor to fight the rangers. As the series progress it would be revealed more about Zarc past: He was actually Aaron, Sir Jon first apprentice. Much like the rangers he wanted to be a knight, but because he was rejected by Avalon's sorcerers and leaders, he became angered and was corrupted by power, wanting to destroy the Jurassic Knights so he could become the only knight alive. Much like Trakeena and Master Org, Zarc would slowly lose his humanity and in the end would gain a monster form and become the final villain for the rangers to fight.

Later revealing that the ranger is Gaisoulg well the dubbed one until whatever happens and they become the red rangers power up.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

​@@Waltbe09Great ideia. I thought in something similar although, there would be some differences: 1) As you said, the rangers wouldn't know about the tearm power rangers. They would learn this from Gabe, the first human they became friends (he would be a amalgamation of Ui Tatsui with Ryusoul Gold). Not only Gabe would work not only as the rangers link to the modern world but also to the rangers mythology and traits, resulting in many references and fun moments (ex: when the rangers are gonna morph, Gabe's the one who say "well rangers, It's morphin time" and the rangers just look at him like "what? what 's morphin?" because they refer to their transformation as "armor up") 2) About Gaisoulg, in my idea, his version, Zarc, the Archfiend knight would be one of the villains generals, and his backstory would be kind similar to Darth Vader or Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda, in which he was a disciple of Sir Jon, the ranger's mentor ( and also american version of Ryusoul Brown). Zarc used to be good student, with a noble heart , who just wanted to become a knight, however, the Avalon sages saw evil in his heart and reject him. Feeling rejected and betrayed by Avalon's people and his master, Zarc was corrupt by power and joinned forces with the Archfiends. This not only would tie-in Zarc to the rangers mentor but would also give much more depth for his fights against the rangers, since the rangers would be fighting against a villan who represent what they could become if they take a dark path to achive their goals.

Kyoryuger was one of the first Sentai Series that I watched in full in... well over a decade. And the first time I'd seen the Sentai before the Power Rangers adaptation. I freaking LOVED Kyoryuger. I loved that King was just this larger than life character that really was exactly what he said he was. His blunt, straight-forward attitude was hilarious and a bit refreshing to see. The team as a whole was great. So I had high hopes for Dino Charge, and for the most part, they did pretty well. Though... that writers strike was felt in Super. Then super missed obvious opportunity to make Heckyl the Cyan Ranger. i mean, c'mon! The dude had the cyan streak in his hair and favored light blue colors in his clothes. He was basically telegraphing he'd become the Cyan Ranger from his introduction! Probably follow the Tommy Oliver trope of evil ranger turned good in the end, just... a lot darker at the start. I feel like it was probably the original idea, even if he was going to only get it temporarily, but... no.

This is Power Rangers at its peak. It embraces its zaniness, while also being heartfelt. It shows that the Rangers are PEOPLE first and heroes second.

[@Pikmin911]

Dino Charge was the power rangers show that actually had character development, like able characters, decent to good acting, comedic and serious moments, likable villains, cool ranger designs, a good gimmick and a great sentai to adapt from

@Prabhjot GHOTRA honestly if they were gonna have the bird like creature be part of things anyway, they shouldve just had Xenowing be the freaking mentor. It wouldve saved time and money and we wouldnt have had so much pointless bullcrap.

[@DamnQuilty]

Great season analysis. Many interesting points.

[@jakeself1911]

I hated Riley. Not only was he often trying to prove himself/stroke his ego (to the point of using his power for personal gain), but the premise of his character was just bizarre. He was raised on a farm in a rural environment, yet somehow he had access to a fencing sword and seemed to have access to great schools? I mean that stuff can be within reach of rural areas, but usually only to rich people living in those areas. Riley’s family didn’t exactly strike me as being rich. I think Phillip would’ve been a more natural fit for a brilliant, egotistical fencer.

[@TimdogOKeefe]

His dad might have been a fencing champion?

[@jakeself1911]

Timdog041198 O'Keefe Why then would he hide while he’s practicing fencing? He would have no reason to do that if his dad was a fencing champion.

[@TimdogOKeefe]

Maybe his dad died before Dino charge?

[@jakeself1911]

Timdog041198 O'Keefe Then they probably would’ve made an episode where Riley talked about that, but they didn’t.

Dino Charge was actually my first Power Rangers series. I was in a dino-loving phase, and this was showing in Cartoon Network.

[@maxmeidl4909]

I thought it aired on Nickelodeon back in 2015. Did they also air on Cartoon Network?

[@giadaceletti4170]

Dino Charge was amazing! However, they had a few minor misopertunitys in the romance department. For example, they could have expanded on Tyler and Shelbys Relationship. They could have easily been the better version of Calvin and Hayley. Another very minor issue is that PR had a chance for their first LGBT couple in Chase and Riley. They had their differences but in the episode “The tooth hurts” or something like that they could have chance hear Riley’s heartfelt apology and boom it would have all came together. And it would have been an amazing landmark, because kids need to know that it’s ok to be you and that you’ll always be loved. Again, these were very minor issues but would have been amazing if they had been fixed. And thanks for reading my mile long comment lol

Dino Charge had potential (minus the Fart jokes) and Dino Super Change *RUINED* that potential. Shame that 2004's Dino Thunder is still leagues better.

[@mr.lastgamer5592]

Hi

[@Trip-the-Sungazer]

Well the Lion King in my opinion did the fart jokes correctly especially with the character Pumbaa unlike the ones seen in bad cartoons like Teen Titans Go!, Breadwinners, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, new Johnny Test and Butt Ugly Martians plus live action shows like Power Rangers Dino Charge/Dino Super Charge, Power Rangers Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel and the later episodes of Wizards of Warvery Place.

Am I the only one that had a bad feeling about the Neo Saban Era since they adapted a Sentai that we were TWO YEARS LATE on

[@adrianmikel]

Moussa Mains Roy we would have been update to with power rangers ( we would have been on lupinranger vs patroranger ) but Nick is too Blame and I blame some of the writers

[@Latch-]

Hasbro Era has been good and look how old that Sentai is.

[@adrianmikel]

The reason Nick is to blame it bc of their episode policy and I blame some of writers bc it’s better than what we had before but it still kinda not there

[@GuillermoSmyser]

I think people were just glad to have Saban in the name again... Does Beast Morphers give you deja vu? It's adapted a very late sentai. Are you scared for the future of Hasbro?

[@adrianmikel]

Will Smyser I think hasbro can do better it’s just their first trial run , I would like it for to be a little dark or mid like in the old days it’s too kiddy but I understand if they can’t control it since their on Nicki and I’m happy with that they are doing for beast morphers bc it’s a lot originality there instead of just using Sentai stock footage and going along with it

[@lorddrayvon1426]

I think the title says it all. "Dino Charge: Neo-Saban's peak." That's not saying much since this is the same brand that brought us a monster being defeated by fucking flour.

[@AlejandroRodolfoMendez]

I really enjoy it Dino charge, but I just feel that run shorter. the cast works great mostly the guys but the girls have a lot of personal grown. there were a lot of things that maybe a re-watch makes it better since you don't get at first. the energems were great. there are some details that sometimes are problematic but works overall. great video.

[@gojirathegabite4982]

The dino charger toys are awesome

[@WatrDragn]

It's hard not to agree with how they handled Riley. The way I see it, he's supposed to be on the 'theory' side of the smart spectrum while Shelby is on the 'practical' end with Kendall being in the middle. His focus is on how to logically solve problems, and that's fine, but there's no real progression with it. It makes it even worse since in later episodes he's driven to act in complete contrast by allowing his emotions, specifically with being competitive, to take over. Of the main 5, he definitely has the most wasted potential.

Best sleeper hit random decision of 2023. Been getting back into watching episodes after we had lost the original green ranger may he rest in peace. Watching this show is like watching a video game happen without me having to pick up the controller, could go into sleep comas what with the 6 volumes it has, but good, nostalgic sleep comas from watching good show. Show is pure 🔥

[@williamnguyen8663]

While dinocharge has at least structure and good acting and directing, I still feel it’s a lackluster season not as bad as previous but still not great. I hear a lot of people call dinochrage the “exception” of bad Saban seasons but a lot of the problem I feel still persist. The characters still have the tell and not showing problem except they try to fix it but only partly. They try to have characters show their personality through their actions but then quickly just flat out say what a character is. I hear people say Tyler is a good character and well devleioled but I don’t see any of that. Tyler is still pretty one dimensional and has no personality other than “excitable cool leader”. The other characters just sorta blend in.

[@benjaminwagner8141]

[@terrancehall9762]

i like your mentioning of time force because i feel like you said, that the 2 stories revolve around their pink rangers. jen has to overcome the death of her fiance and mentor(who should've stayed dead for the plot), facing his killer and embracing her destiny as the new leader of time force. shelby's journey is to be a dinosaur researcher. they both face the main obstacles to their goals alex/ransik on one end and kendall/shelby's dad on the other end. it is no coincedence tf ends with jen arresting ransik and saying goodbye to wes to become tf's new leader and dsc ends with kendall being nicer to shelby and when they see a dinosaur zoo instead of a museum, shelby gets to study dinosaurs for real.
