'Power Rangers Beast Morphers' Episode 2 Evox's Revenge Review and Reactions

The Hasbro era continues and we've definitely got some thoughts on the second episode of Power Rangers Beast Morphers, as well as reactions from the fans.

Spoilers incoming for Power Rangers Beast Morphers, so if you haven't seen the episode yet you've been warned.

Today's episode of Beast Morphers thankfully continues the momentum from the first episode, though a few chinks in the armor do present themselves before the credits roll. Many of the positive elements from the first episode do get expanded on though, like Zoey's charm, Ben and Betty's hijinks, Devon's enthusiasm, and Ravi's interactions with Commander Shaw.

It would be easy to discount Devon's enthusiasm as over the top, but to me, it always feels genuine, and it brings some of the awe and wonder back to the series. He's enthralled with all these cool toys, which makes him staying out of the competition for the leader spot believable.

Seeing un-morphed fights was also welcome, and the fighting looked crisp and clean, eliminating some of the more overboard wirework from the premiere. Thing is though the monster was a complete no-show. Sure he was there, but he was gone just as quickly as he came. This is a bit of a double edged sword though, as while it relegates the monster to cannon fodder it does also create the illusion of an extremely strong and powerful hero.

If this were wrestling, this would be a squash match. That's perfectly fine if it's a one-off, but hopefully, it doesn't turn into a regular occurrence. We do want to see the Rangers challenged somewhat after all.

The episode truly shines though once the Rangers meet their Beast Bots, who are a joy to watch. Each one has a unique personality and feel, and honestly, we wanted them in every scene. #SmashForLife if you weren't clear on that by now. The Zord reveal was pretty spectacular as well, and it was surprising to be so engaged with that final Megazord fight sequence, something I've always struggled with in the past. The show utilized all of the Zords' various abilities and modes incredibly well, keeping up a solid pace and making the action look stylish at the same time.

One thing that did not shine here, however, was the dialogue. While the premiere walked a lovely line between cheesy and fun, this episode skewed way more towards the former, with lines that even the charming cast could've quite overcome. It wasn't all bad mind you, but it was more noticeable this time around than in the premiere.

Overall this was a fun and solid episode that kept the show's momentum but wasn't quite the home run the last episode was. That's fine though, as we'll take a double any day of the week.

So those are my thoughts, but let's see what the community thought of the big episode, which you can find on the next slide! Also, make sure to hit me up @MattMuellerCB on Twitter and let me know what you thought of the premiere!
