Parts XXXI and XXXII
Some notes on Parts XXXI and XXXII:- By this point, Edward has clearly gone off the deep end, fulfilling his role as the main antagonist of the story.
- I really like the panel of the Dragonzord and Robot looking at each other in Part XXXI. It really helps bring a bit of calm to all the action that was happening over the course of the past few parts.
- By the time I got to Part XXXII, I had the end of the story planned and was at the point where I needed to start wrapping things up. Hence, the use of, my favorite literary tool, deus ex machina.
- Seriously, there is no reason whatsoever for Apple to assume Robot has a growth ray outside of "I just know you do." (Lazy writing sure, but it's not like I'm planning on winning any awards with this stuff.) Apple probably just saw some crummy Sci-Fi movie on tv and assumes all robots have growth rays.
- Lazy writing aside, the growth ray bit was a way for me to avoid introducing Rita Repulsa and further convoluting the character relationships already present up to this point.
- There's some real nice depictions of dead yogurt people here. One of my favorite things to do during the production of these two parts was finding ways to scatter the yogurty remains around the panels. My favorite is the one with his face smashed into the rubble in the foreground of the standoff panels.
- Part XXXII reenforces my belief that ANYONE who knew the Power Rangers in their personal lives (unbeknownst to them, of course) should had been able to figure out the Rangers' identities based on their, surprisingly, unmuffled voices and body language alone. Apple, is clearly a good, attentive friend (unlike everyone in Angel Grove).
