When I was a kid in the 90s, I kept thinking about the Power Rangers and how they were kind of gay, and I felt kinda gay, but they were kind of lame, and I didn’t wanna be lame.
So I got really into Star Trek in computers instead. I’m 47, and I’m confident that I made the correct decision. Star Trek definitely made me feel pretty OK about being gay, that’s for sure.

I have seen people do this unironically when they fart.

And then they fart.
Well, technically, according to my records…
That reminds me of a really awesome show I need to revisit.
I’m 42, and I felt like I was too old for power rangers after Season 1.
You would have been close to 18 by the time the show debuted. I think I was 12 when it debuted, and outgrew it almost immediately.
Maybe that’s why they felt lame to you. It was a kids show, and you were old enough to be in the Gulf war at the time it was happening.
The production was so low. You could tell when the footage was reused from Saban’s earlier shows. Also, it kinda felt dated already when it came out.
It was a long time ago. Difficult to remember. Plus, I was on a lot of drugs by then…
Edit: hold on, the show came out in 1993, when I was 14. So that’s not at all as creepy as you implied. maybe you caught it on reruns? Or you’re not in the United States, and it debuted years later in your country?
Ah, yes… 1993, the year I discovered the joys of smoking…
It debuted in 1993. If they are 47 they were born in 1979 and were 14 at its debut. Your math is close but a titch off
Different countries get new programs at different times. There is room for error.
by age 10 most people were too old for it when it first came out.
Gay

/s?
Uh…
You just used it! Get him!
And that’s why I moved to XML syntax with </sarcasm>
That’s not fair. You’re super gay and also pretty super. Your lameness spectrum has nothing to do with your gay gland.
one of the power ranger was gay, i think the og red one.
And it summoned an ancient robot dragon that happened to be living ten meters off Angel Grove Harbor.
Do you think the zords just broke the sound barrier inches above Angel Grove as they appeared in 1.7 seconds? Or do giant monsters patiently wait for them to arrive?

That’s the one thing I hate about Lemmy. It does seem to be easy to create more accounts.

Ooo I think I want one of those. I guess you could say I’m buy curious
Cause Tommy was OG bad ass.
Kino heel face turn.
Yeah he never should have broke up with shredder
This is the part of Power Rangers that breaks verisimilitude?
Not the smoke ghost living in a glass tube or the creatures made out of actual putty or the seemingly endless supply of cities to destroy while also apparently saving them?
Hey what you got against zordon the zecko
Oh man let me see if I can remember this…
Does it go “Baaah ba-baa badada dadaaaa”?
He played the katamari damacy song?
Well his zord just keeps getting bigger and zordon threatened to chuck me into space while he wandered around drunk in pants that left absolutely nothing to the imagination. You know what? It’s gone. I have no imagination left zordon killed it.
nailed it
I only now just realized the problem with trying to play a flute wearing a helmet. I will never unrealize this.
Nah look. They got a nose hole in that helmet the right size for flute tooting! You can toot your flute in that helmet!
It’s a magic Power Rangers helmet!
Red ranger I guess you can be leader and then just sitting there watching him get, flute dagger, dinosaur, shoulder pads, white on gold, sick snow tiger.
cuck ranger
Wasn’t there an episode where green and red were on a mission together, many Serpenterra eps, and green gave red his shield for protection?
If you look at pictures of it, it has a few valve buttons on it, exactly like a trumpet. So, why he plays it sideways like a flute, rather than like a trumpet from the tip, I don’t know.
Because in the 90s, sword towards mouth is gay.
Just the tip flutey boy
C:
Maybe it was actually his helmet making the sound but the dagger daggerflute was the electronic “key” to access music mode. He blows into his microphone and instead of it relaying the sound of his breaths it encodes it into flute playing. Technology is wonderful.
Maybe he was whistling? And the “music mode” was kind of autotune/synthesizer voice.
*talks in flute*
What a great way to discover you have ADHD!
Your not meant to think to hard about it
I used to go hard on the green zord summoning song
And it summoned a giant dragon mech.
