Supernovametalstar made a good point.

The Zoid's Gun Sniper made the Soccor Mom's "Dirty Dozen" list of nasty-wasty toys and bad influences.

Now anyone parent that would take the nano-second to check out the show would see hardly anyone on the show ever gets hurt. It's just bots, blastin' bots.

On PR tho, this very morning we saw how the Blue Ranger, Max, was recruited as a Wild Force Ranger.

On on the streets he saw some innoncents get jumped by a monster, he fought his fear and rush in to the fight off the monster. Not being trained the first thing that happened was seeing him launched through the air and through the windshield of a parked car!

And this is all live action!

Other things of note were a jealous Doctor Something-or-Other became an evil monster cuz of unrequited love. With his new found powers they actually showed the now Master Org's tendrils reach out and finish off the couple leaving their baby behind as an orphan.

And they stayed dead!

Cole was brought to kill the Doctor eventually!

Often I see unmorphed rangers get kicked in the stomach and double over in pain or thrown across the street or room or a wall!

Action level of this show geared toward kids is Buffy/Angel calibur, but parents aren't saying anything anymore.....

It's a blessing for us Ranger Fans. Personally I could hardly last through MMPR2-Zeo, with how the "violence" had been turned down due to parental whining and complaining.

Just wondering who up there decides what's bad and what's not and do they even really care to research what they're protesting or are they just doing it at random?

Anyway.... end o' rant.
