i’m choosing chaos today

so there’s this show,

Monster Warriors

it aired 2005-2006. as you can see, Jared is in it.

think, Ghostbusters meets Power Rangers meets the A Team and a wee bit of MacGuyver and you have an idea of what the show is about.

yes, those children are in fact holding immersion blenders.

they really said, the science is made up and the weapons don’t matter. no, LITERALLY:

they home-brew all their kit from junk and seconds from the hardware store, it’s great.

also, everything is shot in super soft focus, so it looks like vintage softcore porn

the show being about teenagers, ofc all the adults are fuckin’ useless, if not outright hostile. it’s a common trope, but in this show, that doesn’t mean it’s boring or cliché.

Mayor Mel literally hands the team a permission slip that says, ‘Give these handy kids whatever they want, signed, The Mayor’.

this show has everything:

mad movie director as the villain

monster of the week

obstructive bureaucrats

high school hijinks

aliens

time travel

anyway, watch Monster Warriors. the entire run is available on youtube. the link is in the notes so tumblr doesn’t bury the post.

Monster Warriors is kind of... not a good show, but I will forever love it, because like five episodes in, a random utility worker finds Klaus' secret monster-making lair because he never pays his electric bill, correctly deduces that it’s part of a plan to destroy the city, and without missing a step just inserts herself into his schemes because the city owes her two weeks back pay. Like, that seems like an incredibly petty villain motive but it's also SO RELATABLE. And she just disappears for episodes at a time and then shows up again like she's been here the whole time.

Crab rave episode?

I need you all to understand that most of the people behind the Mayor in this photo are government officials who are extremely confused as to why the Mayor made them put on Hawaiian t-shirts and go to the beach.
