Does the energy field mean Leonardo can hit people with his sword now?
Will it just be like a bat just PWANG?
Someone on twitter linked April’s bat to Edsel’s bat from Matt Wagner’s MAGE maybe eveeything is energy bats now.
(btw if you read and enjoyed MAGE when you were 13 DO NOT pick it up again the writing is very bad (though the coloring is sort of interesting and the dragon still looks cool?))
Pop Team Epic is a good cartoon. Like all good sketch shows, some hit. Some miss. Some–like the Earth Wind & Fire parody felt-mation music video–are sublime.
Reboot only wishes it could be on the level of a sentai show. I dunno if you’ve heard of the sentai season that just started, but it’s pretty good so far (though it’s still too early to know if it’ll stick to that level of quality) and has a very amusing premise: There are two teams (Lupinranger vs Patranger, phantom thieves vs cops) who, while fighting the same villains, are following diffeent goals and competing over a common resource pool (notably the central robot component). It has transcended the concept of the sentai crossover even further than Gokaiger by crossing over with itself.
It is quite fun.
(Also first instance ever of a black actor in a recurring part in a sentai. He’s playing the police chief).
