LEGENDS OF POWER # 46:
Path of The Rhino – Power Rangers Jungle Fury
So yeah. Jungle Fury has it’s 1st induction onto our countdown. Way of the Rhino marked the first appearance of Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger aka Dominic. Dominic has a Pau Zhu that RJ, Wolf Ranger, knew for a long time. Dominic has been traveling the world, looking for his ultimate destiny, as he told the other Jungle Fury Rangers and Fran when he first arrived. Yet, after first meeting with Dominic, the team, except for RJ and Fran do not like him. Heck, they don’t really give Dominic a chance or benefit or the doubt.
He was eating pizza while two Rangers were practicing with weapons. He give them constructive ways to actually focus their attacks but he accidently gets pizza grease on it and it slips out. Dominic goofs off a little but the main 3 Jungle Fury Rangers don’t give him a chance. When Dominic sees the Rangers in action, he feels that he’s destined to join … only to get shot by the 3 Main Rangers . . . who are acting like complete ASSHOLES at this point.
This was definitely one of the best
introductory episodes of a new Ranger the show has ever had. We got a team who
are showing character flaws and pretty much being snobbish about Dominic
joining the team. RJ tells them to look at Dominic in a different way but they
don’t listen. When Dominic decides to leave cause he feels unwanted, Fran
points out to the other Rangers who great of
a job they did of giving him a chance …oh wait … they didn’t. And she
calls them out on it. After making them feel stupid, Fran walks away to go
after Dominic. ONLY THEN Casey and the
other realize how bad they were and Casey goes after Fran. To have a non-Ranger
be the one to snap the Rangers into reality was a great touch.
Plus, Dominic is kind of like Zhane
done right. He’s charming. He’s loyal. He’s fun. But when it’s time to be a
Ranger, he’ll throw down with the best of them. Way of The Rhino showed a hero
wanted to find his place in the world and when he finds it, being treated with skepticism once he finds his destiny. It reminds viewers that the Rangers are fair
from perfect and that somedays … our heroes are NOT really heroes. Overall, a
strong episode from Jungle Fury …
That is it for this week’s Legend of Power. Till Next Week, May the Power Protect You.
