The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers opening theme was perfect. In exactly 20 seconds, it explains the bad guys, the good guys, the fact that they morph, and a huge robot. That's it. Then the credits roll. You know all you need to know going into the episode in 20 seconds.

In the first episode, 15 minutes was used to explain why five random teens became rangers. That's really all you needed to get to the action. Think about it. That very concept is absurd. It's best to spend as little time on it as possible. You can spend a lot of time on storytelling, even multiple episodes, but within the context of your own universe. When it comes to explaining why your concept makes sense, there's only so much you can say to convince me to believe it. At the end of the day, it's fantasy.

I heard that the new Power Rangers move has them morph only in the last 20 minutes. Really? This is the same argument I have with video game tutorials that are way too long. That's why I like Dark Souls. Supposedly the new Zelda, too. Just cut the crap and let us get on with it.
