It’s not part of the usual topics here at the Spotlight but I found it interesting enough to share with everyone.

Yes, I know this is in the wrong post schedule. I’ll get more into it in the Sunday post but things are going to be a bit disorganized for a few weeks.
Looks like the military budget is really tight right now.

“Vs” is a bit strong here since we actually agree on a few points and this isn’t even an official article series (I don’t even have a category, never mind a logo but I should change both situations). However it is me going through an article and commenting on it, so read the article first and then come back to me. Said article is by GQ contributor Keith Phipps, writing about how many gritty reboots we’ve been getting lately.
I get concerned when a show or movie or any story is praised for being dark, as if a lighter story can’t also be interesting or speak to the human condition or whatever else. Maybe I don’t want to be depressed, immediately hate my fellow human for the crime of still using oxygen, or see a bunch of bloody guts fly onto some woman’s naked breasts. That’s why I tend to shy away from so many stories supposedly targeting my demographic. (Remind me to talk about how bullcrap demographics are someday.) So when something I enjoy gets pulled to the dark side I know what Obi-Wan Kenobi felt, watching something you love turn to everything you fight against. This article, “Zack Snyder’s Justice League : The History Of The Gritty Reboot”, features some good examples, but you can guess what it focuses on.

After episode one of the new Power Rangers series from Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures came out I wanted to wait until episode two to see the Zords. Then I got sick so it hasn’t been until after episode 3 that I’ve been able to review this show. Episode four, which is supposed to air this Saturday as of this writing, hasn’t aired yet, delayed a week for whatever reason. I wasn’t paying attention for obvious reasons. In the end this may be for the best. While two new Rangers are set to be introduced this week I still have what I think is a handle on the show. So without further delay here’s my review of Power Rangers Dino Fury.
At least that’s the name Hasbro went with. Fans were already calling it Dino Knights as the sentai it’s getting action footage from, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger (translated by the Power Rangers wiki as “Knight Dragon Squadron Dragon Armament Ranger”, which is one doozy of a mouthful), has a theme around both dinosaurs and medieval knights. There was such a strong tie to that name that when Hasbro went with Dino Fury the fandom kind of rejected it. Personally I don’t mind the new name and didn’t about the fan-chosen title until after I heard the official one so that may have some influence. “Fury” hasn’t been used in a name since Power Rangers Jungle Fury, and while Dino Knights might have worked Dino Fury isn’t that bad either. How does the show itself hold up though?
