‘A BAD REFLECTION ON YOU’ (MMPR)

Please feel free to comment on my review.

This is a fun ‘Power Rangers’ episode to watch in the TV series. Mind you, I question some things in the detention scenes. 😀 The episode features evil versions of the Power Rangers. Okay, they’re Putties as the Power Rangers, but this is something before the Psycho Rangers in ‘In Space’ happened. 🙂

In the episode, Rita sends four Putties and Twin Man (voiced by Bryan Cranston) disguised as the evil Power Rangers to Angel Grove. They start as the five teens being evil and wearing dark sunglasses. I wish we could have seen more of these evil Rangers as teens. They had an almost ‘Matrix’ look with sunglasses and evil eyes.

Whoo! Spooky! 😀 It also would have been fun to see the good Ranger teens meeting up with the evil Power Rangers as teens when at school or something before fighting them as actual Power Rangers. I’m very curious about how the Putties managed to mimic the real Rangers’ voices as teens.

Anyway, the five evil teens cause trouble by putting laundry detergent in the water fountain. The principal Mr. Caplan tries to get a drink of water and is drenched in the foam-like stuff. The real five teens get blamed, of course, and are sent for afternoon detention. 😐 Bulk and Skull are there too. 😐

Wait! Why are Bulk and Skull there? They had nothing to do with… Oh wait! They always do bad stuff. They’re bullies after all. There are some odd comedic moments where Bulk has a Mary Poppins-like lunchbox that’s ‘bigger on the inside’. Bulk must have stolen some Time Lord technology! 😀

Meanwhile, the evil Rangers led by Scorpina (Yes, she’s in this too) attack Angel Grove City. The real Rangers see this happen on TV. They manage to trick Bulk and Skull to not see them morph, and they go out to stop the evil Rangers. I did get confused as to which Rangers were real and which weren’t.

Eventually, the real Power Rangers defeat their evil twins, reverting them back to their Putty forms. The Red Ranger also defeats his evil twin, who happens to be Twin Man. I’m not sure where Twin Man came from, and he wasn’t introduced properly in his first scene. He likes to use mirrors though.

Thankfully, the five Rangers defeat Twin Man, using their combined weapons into the Power Blaster. They didn’t need to use the Zords for this occasion. 😀 The Rangers return to the detention room just in time before Bulk and Skull can tell on Mr. Caplan. This is a fun episode featuring evil Ranger twins.

‘A Bad Reflection On You’ (MMPR) rating – 7/10
