Man, the original rangers were a bunch of douchebags!

I'm not talking about the Actors... I've only met David Yost and he was an angel! I mean the characters. I have been watching the original series. (It hasn't aged well.) I also noticed the difference between the American reshoots vs the spliced Japanese footage.
Like this rare instance with the Mighty Morphin' Gray Ranger!
Which is obviously from the Japanese footage that suffered some color degradation. The quality tends to dip when reusing the Super Sentai Zyuranger footage.

But THAT is not the point of this rant. The point is that the Rangers were a bunch of bullies. Theor favorite targets?
Bulk and Skull. Sure, these two are a pair of asshats in the first season and Theoretically deserve their comeuppance, but these "Teenagers with Attitude" simply LOVED to punch down Bulk and Skull. It wasn't enough for the rangers that Bulk and Skull end up getting their comeuppance multiple times, but they verbally abuse the already humiliated bullies by BULLYING them.

Bulk and Skull get "Tarred and Feathered" or similar punishments where they end up covered in weird substances, their clothes destroyed, or other type of situations that if done in the real world, kids would snap and illegally borrow a gun to deal with their classmates.
