“Billy and Kimberly have gone punk and I have to go and get them a cure.” Inconsistent, awkward prose characterizes this novelization of “Power Ranger Punks”. Certain elements are relatively hard edged for an audience of small children (including Zordon telling the Rangers to “kill” the monster), but then the Rangers’ blade blasters are replaced by “darts”? The book does increase the budget in the mind’s eye of the reader, but you still don’t get to experience an important Alpha 5 adventure that happens off-page.
The prologue embellishes a nonsensical backstory that also establishes Zordon as a dishonorable cheating manipulator. While “scumbag Zordon” is a legitimate reading of the character on the show, even that can’t be squared with his backstory as presented here.
I’m interested that the book considers Finster, Squatt, Baboo, and Goldar to be Rita’s “friends”, as opposed to “minions”. How did Baboo get “hundred-year-old anchovies” when until recently, he’s been in a space dumpster for the last 10,000 years?
