Twenty years ago I returned from a long deployment. After getting the boat stink off me and settling in with a beer to enjoy the evening with my family my 8 year old son says "watch this". He proceeded to strike a fight pose with fists cocked then flopped over backwards and started rolling around on the floor. I was duly informed that he was a Power Ranger. I looked at my wife and asked "what the fuck is a Power Ranger?". A few days later I got to see my first and last episode and understood immediately my son's performance. They spent 90% of the show getting their asses kicked.
They have to get their asses kicked, so they have a reason to pull out the special power moves at the end. They never learn to just go with the big moves first and save themselves some time.
I readily admit that part of the reason I enjoyed this video is because I also have a son that thinks he's a power ranger. The show is just mind-numbingly terrible, so it's entertaining to see someone spoof it with headshots and f-bombs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
