Pictured: Millennials talking about the silly wizard power fantasy like it's Shakespeare. Harry Potter truly is to Generation Y as Star Wars was to Generation X. It reminds them of a "better time" when they could remain ignorant of all the horrible things happening in the world (paid for by their tax money).
This is exactly how I feel about Power Rangers. Loved it as a kid. I tried watching it as an adult once, and oh my god it's completely horrendous.
Ok, but the theme song still slaps though.
On the reverse of this, I never watched Sailor Moon as a kid, but I started watching it recently, Just to know what the hype was.
And y'know what? It's a repetitive, incidentally pro-social, barely animated anime slop for little girls...
AND THAT'S WHY IT FUCKING RIPS!!! I adore that it looks like ass! The Japanese economy crashing after the consumer electronics boom went bust, meant that animation houses suddenly had way fewer resources to work with. So, they had to do everything they possibly could to cut corners, while still making something that, on some level, manages to be visually appealing.
Its not deep, but it's dumb, and fun, and campy as hell!
