So I was pumped for the Green Ranger Shredder and read the Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #3 Issue
The issue started out great, middle was bad, the ending...not sure what to say
spoilers:
- Awesome fight between Green Ranger Shredder vs Rita. Loved the scene with Bebop and Rocksteady messing up Rita's Henchmen until Goldar shows up and turns it around. The fight ends in a standstill and as true villains, they decide to work together to eliminate the heroes
- Tommy is in a cage and has a heated discussion with Tyler. Tyler is mad at Tommy for leaving. Tommy was adopted and moved. Tommy said he dropped everything to check on Tyler. (good dialogue for Tommy)
- Turtles Sewer Lair. Turtles and Rangers interacting. Jason isn't happy, Zach enjoys the odd pizza flavors, Billy asking questions about mutagen, Kimberly is worried/peeved with Tommy. Trini asking why Raph is mad all the time
- Zordon detected Morphin Energy signature and the Rangers investigate (ask the turtles to stay behind). Shredder ambushes them and drains their powers unmorphing them. Zordon detects the signatures gone
- EASILY THE WORST PART: The Rangers unmorphed, manage do dodge Shredder's Attacks (scene made no sense) and Casey Jones shows up. Says a few stupid lines, and even lands a hit on Shredder (Scene made even less sense). **Sorry, but a glorified Shredder who is able to move really fast and a lot more durable...everybody should have been meat**
- The Rangers somehow managed to run away out of the jamming range and teleport back. Rita sends a monster to destroy NYC
- At the end the Turtles are holding morphers

end of spoilers
Overall, it was alright.
Good:
- I liked how Shredder was written as a great strategist.
- Good Dialogue with Tommy, Rangers, and Turtles
- Villains Fight in the Beginning
Bad
- Casey Jones
- Shredder Fight vs Heroes made zero sense
- Fights felt rushed
I understand the good guys need to win but there is no way they should have survived that particular encounter.
