It was because of Blake. Hunter said Blake could become blinded by anger when he felt he was wrong.

The Thunder Rangers were used poorly. They had the opertunity to use fresh concept. Rangers with complicated motivations who were against our heros. The Thunders joined the Rangers way too quickly. And it was overkill that they were brainwashed back to Lothian's side to turn again, right after they had just switched sides to begin with.

It was poorly written why they even worked for Lothor in the first place since he kidnapped their friends too. It would have made more sense if they rejected Lothor even after he told them the lies about their parent's murderer. They could have plausibly been led to believe the story was true and refuse to work with him. That way they could have still been against the Winds, yet against Lothor from the beginning. Then the brainwashing plot would have at least been not as overkill. Since they wouldn't have already been working for Lothor when they were antagonists to the Rangers.

Agreed, they missed out on a great opertunity there.

Ninja Storm had promise. But storylines like this didn't hold up well to MMPR.

They really messed up the sentai plot. Its too bad, they were close at times to being a pure Sentai adaptation. But a lot of the original plots just bogged all that down.

Actually, I think Ninja Storm did a great job honoring the sentai while doing a lot of original plots. It was actually pretty clever. Sloan and Ann knew what they were doing.

I think the Thunders made a big mistake. They knew they were wrong after the fact. I am sure working for Lothor made them sick and they intended to find a way to free the students afterwards.

This was a big issue with early NS. The Thunders were fine afterwards though and blended in well with the rest of the team.

The Thunders were definitely wrong to work with Lothor. Even if they thought Sensei murdered their parents. Saving the Ninja Students was more important and Lothor was a threat to the whole world. They were selfish and should have been punished for there actions. Unfortunately, the Winds needed them to win the war.
