[Goldar's Revenge]

Putting aside that Ninja Storm isn't the most iconic season and why MMPR is....

Ninja Storm really isn't all that good. The mythology behind it makes no sense. We have no reason why there are 19 Ninja Academies. It is mostly forgotten that the Wind Ninjas have to rescue the Ninja Students.

The show desperately tries to do its own thing but still slaves to the Sentai. Why did they even use the Ninja School concept to begin with. Wouldn't it make more sense to just have them be normal teens? You also end up with situations where the show repeats itself. Like when the Thunders switch sides only to be put under an evil spell so they can turn good a second time. The arch is just too long.

Lothor is just a horrible villain until the later episodes. As he has no backbone and is too comedic. He just didn't feel like a threat until the end. Which is thankfully because Doug Sloan listened to the critics in the fandom. Because of this the end of Ninja Storm is actually quite good ( the twist with Marah and Karpi not withstanding) on its own. And this leads to the much better DinoThunder which lives up to its hype.

And just to add on...The show took a massive step back in the ADR due to the near complete production change and move to New Zealand.
