Mutiny Zedd
 

He came off like such a badass and was almost scary. Especially during his introduction. Then he married Rita and became a comedy character. I think people always think of the early Lord Zedd when they talk about how badass he was. Is too bad he had such wasted potential.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I think they didn't want him too scary.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

Its too bad because its not like you didn't have Squatt and Baboo to be comedy. Plus they made Goldar more of a baffon.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

Astronema was the first real serious main villain.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I think Zedd was still a bad ass. He just was played for comedy sometimes.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I like it when the Villlans are comedic. So I liked whacky Zedd better.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I hated Zedd from the beginning. I was so disappointed when Mutiny aired because they changed everything. I missed Rita and the old Zords. It really took me out of the show and I didn't come back until the end of season 3 and Zeo.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

They seemed to want get nervous and toned him down quickly. That was probably why they brought Rita back to be his wife. Since she was so over the top, it would bring his comedic side out.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I remember being a little scared when he first appeared in Mutiny. Which is amazing since I was on the older side of the target demo if not out of it already.

I always assumed Zedd acted more funny due to the love potion merging with his lifeforce and not getting his full 100 year sleep. But he did lose some of his edge before that.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

He lost his edge at the end of Mutiny when he had a Rita like tantrum to losing. Showing he wasn't much better and not as powerful as he thought himself to be.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

Zedd was amazing when we first saw him

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I think they were able to make him scarier because they had that prime time special. He wasn't as scary once the episode reran during the day anyway.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I liked Lord Zedd better before The Wedding. I agree the love potion probably made him less dangerous.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

He was pretty dark when compared to the other earlier villains.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

They definitely toned him down as Season 2 went along. Heavily show in season 3 .

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

He definitely was scary in his introduction scene. But as pointed out, the episode airing at night made it even more chilling. I think the fact Rita and the other villains were scared of him also added to the effect. But by the end of the three parter viewers learn he isn't much more dangerous then Rita once the Rangers get their Thunderzords.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

Zedd probably had the best villain introduction in PR history. Thats why he is so beloved. People think back to Mutiny.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

He was kinda scary at the time but re-watching the episode not so much.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I wouldn't say he was more scary. I would say more menacing. That did go away as the season went along. And as many have pointed out, more so after he married Rita.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

Lord Zedd was still a lot scarier then Rita ever was.

Re: Mutiny Zedd
 

I don't think he was scary at all. He also was played for laughs just like Rita.
