Bandora
 

She seems like a very interesting villain. As her origins and plans seem much more dark than Rita. Yet she has the same whacky tendencies and has a whimsical side to her. Almost like she is both a funny and serious villains. Its interesting how Zyuranger presents her in this way. She is a unique villain in a lot of ways.

Re: Bandora
 

She definitely has more depth that Rita yet still has the same silly side. Zyuranger is very much the same way with a lot of its elements. As it has a lot of silliness mixed in with serious situations.

Re: Bandora
 

Never knew Bandora was so interesting.

Re: Bandora
 

She is what Lothor should have been and they failed.. Bandora was perfect for the kind of villain she was supposed to be. Rita lost a lot of Bandora's depth.

Re: Bandora
 

Rita could have benefited from this type of backstory. They might not have needed Zedd if they made Rita a little darker. I'm still glad we got Zedd though.

Re: Bandora
 

Bandora could have been so much better. Especially with her darker origin. She was still more interesting than Rita who didn't have the great back story.

Re: Bandora
 

She really was a well nuanced character. You wouldn't get that if you just saw the footage without understanding the language and the backstory.

Re: Bandora
 

I wonder if some of Bandora's origins will be used for the new Rita? Or at least based of them?

Re: Bandora
 

Sometimes they are able to get away with darker elements in Sentai. When MMPR was done PR wasn't dark at all.

Re: Bandora
 

Damn imagine if they would have used Kai?

Re: Bandora
 

That would be cool, and I agree about wanting to see Rita have Bandora's tragic back story but I think more than anything I would have just liked to have Lokar be Rita's boss instead of just a really powerful minion.

Re: Bandora
 

Kai as the original evil Green Ranger would have made a lot of sense.

Re: Bandora
 

I wouldn't want to lose Tommy Oliver though.

Re: Bandora
 

I meant he would have been before Tommy and possibly after "Green Candle". I'm not saying there should have been no Tommy.

Re: Bandora
 

It would have been more doable than using some evil kid who dies in the source footage.

Re: Bandora
 

I think the producers were foolish not to use Kai. I wouldn't have had him become Green though.

Re: Bandora
 

Bandora was definitely different from Rita in a lot of ways. She is actually more like Dayu.

Re: Bandora
 

I didn't know that Bandora had such a dark backstory. I should check out some Zyuranger.

Re: Bandora
 

it was kind of odd how she was just imprisoned instead of killed like most villains.

Re: Bandora
 

They really made you feel sorry for her. Except for you know, the part where she was trying to destroy the world.

Re: Bandora
 

That doesn't really leave her in a sympathetic light.

Re: Bandora
 

To be fair I do think it's possible to feel bad if something bad happens to someone, and still not think it's okay if they do bad stuff to other people.

Re: Bandora
 

Villains with sympathetic backstories doesn't make their actions justified, it just makes there characters deeper.

Re: Bandora
 

That sounds pretty dark to me.

Re: Bandora
 

I like Bandora more because she was so whacky. I am glad the whackiness carried over to Rita.
