>>11305594Not that anon, but to summarize as briefly-but-still-helpfully as I can: The comics actually started out really well. Set in Season 1 right after Tommy joined the team, it was presented as what I imagine most fans want from the series: MMPR, but taken seriously, with actual stakes to the plot. Things were going well all the way through Shattered Grid, the 25th anniversary event arc. But then they bungled the finale to Shattered Grid and they were never really able to fully recover from it. The comic moved on to Season 2, except it was obvious the writers saw Season 2 as vastly inferior to Season 1. Lord Zedd, the White Ranger, the Thunder Zords, and Rocky, Adam, and Aisha were all endlessly shit on, despite their Season 1 equivalents being constantly praised. Rita, Jason, Trini, and Zack were kept on as main characters well past the point they left on the show, with the three teens becoming the super secret Omega Rangers (the Peace Conference was just a cover story, you see). This Season 1 love/Season 2 hate was going on at roughly the same time that it was becoming more and more obvious that the comic was growing more and more interested in its own original characters as opposed to anyone from the show. Lord Zedd was never once allowed to be the main threat of an arc - It was always either Rita or an OC villain. Then the big finale arc lasted an entire year and that was just exhausting. Season 3 was never touched upon, though they went out of their way to make sure Master Vile was outdone by Rita (she literally stabs him in the back and steals his powers) and to inform us that Rito isn't just a lovable oaf slacker, he has literal, actual brain damage. And then some of the spin offs starring OCs veer off into weird territory, like the other anon mentioned.
