Don't Trust Zordon!

Syndicated shows are a staple of life to many. We are affected by the things we consume whether we admit it or not. That includes what we eat and drink as well as what we watch. I think it's important to take a look at the things that shaped you, kick the nostalgia glasses off and really look. In the year of our Breakdancing Baby Jesus 2022 it is undeniable that Power Rangers has had an affect on the world.

What does this have to do with Zordon? Zordon is a victim of bad writing and because of that bad writing he is not a reliable character. Zordon was around for 3 seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and 1 season of Zeo before he was like "I must go, my planet needs me" and peaced out with Alpha 5. Very little backstory is given to the character who decided to choose 5 teenagers at random to control giant machines that could destroy a city. Where even did the zords come from? How did Zordon get the Power Ranger coins to watch over them? Did he make them? What was Zordon doing 10,000 years ago? None of these questions were asked. Was that the reason Zordon chose teenagers?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers tells us two main things: Rita is evil and the Power of the Power Rangers can repel her attacks. Because Rita is an immediate threat, Zordon is by default good because he is using his knowledge to repel a foreign force from global domination. However, without insight into the character we will never know why he spent 10,000 years on Earth if somehow he could just up and travel to Eltar when Power Rangers Turbo started.

Another thing to take into account is the fact that Zordon was killed in Power Rangers in Space. Behind the scenes wise in Space was supposed to be the last season, so I guess the mentality writing it was just ridding the Universe of all evil. His death caused all the villains to turn into humans which is a trademark of the villains that ravage the world of Power Rangers.

Is Zordon some evil demon maker that saw the error of his ways during the 10,000+ Years he spent on Earth? Is Zordon some divine protector who just had a really bad fight where both participants fighting sealed each other away in some weird way? Perhaps, but truthfully we will never really know. If this was, for example, taken up in the Power Rangers comic book at some point it would still be a valid interpretation. The problem that I would have with it is that it's supplemental material and doesn't affect the world of the show. It would most certainly be appreciated and something cool.

We don't know what Zordon was working on while Earth wasn't under attack. The show doesn't make any indication of villains prior to Rita Repulsa wreaking havoc on Angel Grove. So according to the world of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Zordon was just chillin all this time. Was he trying to escape the tube? Was he trying to build a bionic suit that he could walk around with? What was Zord Maintenance like? These are questions that will never be answered. Since they can't be answered Zordon can't be trusted.

Xena Warrior Princess is dope

A few years ago I remember watching the entire series of Xena Warrior Princess on Hulu. It was right before Xena and Hercules were pulled from Hulu. It began as me rewatching Hercules with Kevin Sorbo and finding the series incredibly boring and around the episode where Xena cameos I decided to switch over to watching Xena. It was a great choice, if I continued to try to watch Hercules I would not have had the time to watch Xena. Xena as a show had everything that Hercules as a show lacked.

I don't remember the plot as strongly for Hercules but I do recall that he was traveling after his wife died and what took me out was how unbalanced the world was. Hercules was a demigod and could knock out giants and go toe to toe with Gods so every time he would get in a bar brawl and fight with regular mortals for too long it just took me out of it. Like if he's strong enough to duke it out with Ares, cool, more of that, but if that's the case he should be like One Punch Man with mortals.

Xena, however, is a redemption story that begins after she decides to stop pillaging and murdering the innocent. She travels to make amends for the evil deeds she committed and rid herself of the guilt compiled by the slaughters done by her and the army she commanded. She runs into a group of girls being attacked by bandits and meets Gabrielle, a young girl who is due to be married but doesn't want a normal domestic life. Gabrielle wants to venture the world, learn about people and tell stories of the places she's been. While Xena is rescuing the women Gabrielle sees her bravery and decides that she wants to travel with her. They begin traveling and it's just amazing adventure after amazing adventure.

What's really great about the Xena and Gabrielle dynamic is that they represent what the other wants. Xena wants to be done with killing, she wants to have a life in a village with no fighting and loves the innocence that Gabrielle represents. Xena is even committed to protect that innocence throughout their adventures. Gabrielle wants the innate bravery, prowess and power of Xena, she would love to protect people and use weapons and wit the way that Xena does.

Xena is good at improvisation as well as planning. One thing that is a great part of the show is that when she has to stop an opponent she usually does it in a way that allows them to let their plan play out so the antagonist gets a sense of comfort and then strikes. The odds on the show never seem unbalanced because she doesn't defeat all of her opponents with raw power, she uses her intelligence on foes that are stronger. If you haven't watched it in a while, you should consider rewatching.

I just listed a new piece to FND using my Manifold contract! This artwork is 1/1 and listed at a 0.13 $ETH reserve. This is the 3rd in this series of weird little gif pieces. Idk how many I'll create, but I'm definitely enjoying myself and having a great time creating them.

I took a few sociology and philosophy courses in college. It's interesting subject matter along with psychology. I also had a really good sociology teacher, can't remember his name but there was a cadence to the delivery of the information that made it resonate. I think it was delivering the information in a way that I was able to see it in real life.

Labeling theory is one of those things to me, if someone is labeled a deviant by society they are more likely to participate in deviant behavior. Which generally is a good reminder that we need to treat people better especially in their formative years. When someone is told that they're useless constantly throughout their life they will have a harder time seeing the value they bring.

That is the meaning behind this current work in progress. Part of my upcoming NFT collection. I am naming Interdimensional. I can elaborate on the meaning behind the title in the future

Good morning friend :)

It is hard af to keep any sort of center, any sort of calm, in the world where I live. Whether it be something professional, creative, personal, impersonal, global, whatever, there’s always something on fire, always some red light flashing, always…something. Last week was amazingly acute example of that that took a serious force of will to keep what I could on track…because, that’s what needs to be done.

Finding that middle way through madness and excitement, fear and hope, desperation and desire, with eyes on the prize…my goal. These forces push pull, hinder and help, and are under much more control than I think they are. Am I really frustrated? If so, why? Where does that feeling come from? Is it real, or based about a possibility, not a reality? Worrying about the unknown is pointless, being prepared is what matters. Maybe that’s where I got stuck…kept getting scared of what I didn’t know and backing away before I even had a chance to really get at it…we’re the fears justified? Probably not…probably not, most of the time.

So that’s one reason this piece came out…a hope and a desire to remember a way back to the middle, find ground, even if it’s only enough to barely hold on to in this mad mad world…

Hope you have an amazing day :)
