Like Andrew said before, I too was not really expecting all that much when I began to see Jungle Fury. But I have to admit, the two part premiere was a pleasant surprise.
First thing off the bat was the theme song. Didn't sound like any kind of rap-pop crap that they used with MF or OO. This season's theme song sounded like something from the 90's and that's pretty cool, IMO.
I really have no problem with the rangers thus far. Casey seems like the ranger anyone can like and as a newbie, he was good. Theo seems to be this season's Sky in the sense that he takes things just a bit too seriously and has little patience...eh. Lily, though, I'm liking that spunky kind of attitude she's got going on; got to love those sassy female rangers.
Morphers...in the form of sunglasses? Innovative? Sure. Cool? Well, let's just say that they aren't going to be something I'd want to shell out the money to buy from a toy shelf.
Fran...hmm, who really knows about her? She could turn out to be this season's Clare and go on to be something good but that's a bit of a stretch as far as I can tell. RJ, though, he's different. A laid back, kind of weird mentor but I'm alright on him.
And if I have to hear that stupid fly thing, Flit, do the commentary on another zord battle, I think I'll have to rip his frickin' wings off and chuck him off the nearest skyscraper. And I know that it happened in Gekiranger and all, but there's times when it's alright to have and other times where it's really not that necessary.
All in all, though, this was a fun premiere and I honestly enjoyed watching it. The one complaint from me, though, was that this seemed just a tad bit rushed. But hey, how much can you do in a two parter, right? Can't wait to see what surprises lie ahead for this promising season.
