nectareenrated Go! Go! Loser Ranger! Season 2
Season 2 suffers from the same issue I had with Season 1, which is that our protagonist, Fighter D's, character motivations are constantly flip-flopping and contradicting. He wants to bring the Dragon Keepers down but hesitates when given the opportunity to kill Green. He wants to fight to protect his allies and then fights them later on with no moral issue. When asked to pick a side he chooses neither, but does it in the dumbest way. Whatever the long term goal of his character development is, getting there is rocky for viewers to follow and makes it hard for us to want to root for him. The pacing and details of this season also leave the viewer puzzled. Episodes 1-5 draaaaag on with the Magatia arc and then we suddenly shift into 12th gear with several different fights and plot points going on that it makes it hard to follow. The Hwalipon reveal and the Dragon Keepers losing public favor has no buildup or payoff. They drop lore for us about the Divine Artifacts out of nowhere, while the viewer is left with pressing questions like how is Red alive and well when he was literally stabbed in the back? I'm frustrated sitting here watching this and it's taking all my willpower to get through it.
