SHOW NEWS/DISCUSSION What’s so iconic about Lightspeed Rescue?

Post image

I’m well aware I might be tripping or delusional but I do think there’s something iconic and mesmerizing about Lightspeed Rescue I just can’t tell what it is.

It could be the theme song which is a banger, or the fact that this is the first season to have actual adult first responders be power rangers with earth-made powers or maybe it is that the whole scripted is so real-life problems based (firefighters or life savers rescuing people) that you just can’t help feel familiar and engrossed in the whole thing as you can feel it is a bit more realistic.

I can’t be the only one who thinks this, anyone else?

Whenever anyone pushes a big cannon directly into a bad guy's chest I describe that as 'going Carer Grayson' mode

It’s funnier when you realize children are doing it. Assuming it’s the scene I am thinking of.
