Power Rangers Mystic Force/YMMV

• Awesome Music: The fantasy style background music is pretty damn cool. ◦ The theme song itself, while not the best, has some sweet violins one can hear during the credits (Or during Xander's fight during Once A Ranger).
  • And, as well, Ron Wasserman's two submitted theme songs, in particular the Rock Mix.
• Base Breaking Character:
  • Nick. Either an OK Red who has issues with confronting problems (Namely, fans criticize that Nick runs away from all of his problems and frequently gives up), or one of the largest Canon Sue characters ever made by Power Rangers (Which this page is biased towards).
  • Koragg. Either a legitimately interesting villain, a Token Good Teammate, or a poor man's Villamax, whose honor does not work as he works with evil forces with no shades of grey?
  • While Xander is still one of the most popular characters in the season, several fans have pointed out how he has Aesop Amnesia (In that he learns three times to stop being an arrogant jerk, but it never catches on)
• Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Piggy's appearance is a textbook example.
• Broken Base: The theme song, which people either find it to be okay, or hate the hip-hop like direction it took.
• Complete Monster: The Master, whose real name is Octomus, is a demonic entity intent on destroying everything good. Prior to the start of the series he brainwashed Leanbow into becoming his loyal servant Koragg. Once he emerges, he possesses a follower who had turned good and was trying to prevent his rebirth and mutates his body into his own twisted image; he then possesses Leanbow's son Nick directly, transforming him into a much more sadistic and vicious version of Koragg who laid waste to parts of the forest and Rootcore before he was saved. After being exorcised from Nick, he attacks and destroys the Mystic Mother's palace in a matter of minutes and kills both Leanbow and Daggeron when they investigate the destruction before dropping their corpses down before the Rangers. Finally he obliterates time itself, transporting the rangers to the future he plans to create where he's reduced the Earth to a barren, lifeless husk, for no apparent reason other than because he can.
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Jenji explaining in "Ranger Down" why he risked himself for the Rangers: "You guys are my family - my only family."
  • A meta example: Using the late Machiki Soga's footage as Magiel to portray "Mystic Mother", and stating in-universe that she had formerly been Rita Repulsa before reforming.
• Creator's Pet: Nick, due to being a Canon Sue.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Xander, maybe it's the accent, maybe it's the wannabe Loveable Rogue vibe his smarminess gives off, maybe it's just the color green.
  • Proof: When Operation Overdrive had a multi-season team-up episode instead of a full two-team crossover, Xander was the one brought in from Mystic Force.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Vida and Chip.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Read "Les Yay" on the main page. Then remember that earlier two-parter where Necrolai sired Vida as a vampire.
  • And early on in "Rock Solid", Nick accused Madison of hiding behind her camera, which in a sense would become a recurring problem for her.
  • In contrast to the above, the fact that Nick pretty much owned the series means something different now that another Nick has acquired the franchise.
  • Speaking of the other Nick, it's funnier to see Vida get hit with green slime in "Petrified Xander" considering it's the network's trademark.
  • Daggeron says he will train Chip as a knight. In Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Chip's actor voiced the Sentinel Knight.
• Les Yay: In the finale. The Rangers see Necrolai as a human, and Vida VERY enthusiastically backs up Xander's assessment that she's hot. Of course, this makes the two-parter where Necrolai sired Vida as a vampire Hilarious in Hindsight.
  • Also, Leelee and Clare have some in "Light Source".
• Memetic Badass: Xander. He even has his own Chuck Norris facts list
• Memetic Mutation: "Who's Madison?" A common complaint is that Nick's bike got more focus than she did.
• Marty Stu: Nick manages to be several varieties.
• Narm: Fear the mighty Titan Megazord as it stands majestically before its quivering foe and draws its mighty swor- is that thing wearing a witch's hat and pointy elf shoes?
• Non Sequitur Scene: Piggy's appearance is a textbook example.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: They didn't adapt several good parts of Magiranger such as the episode 28 and the use of the Dial Rod Bowgun to destroy Oculous/Cyclops just to introduce the Battlizer and giving even more importance to Nick. Those examples would give Chip more character development, let alone make him interesting.
• Ugly Cute: Phineas.
