Obligatory Link to the Morphing Grid
for those who need the refresher heh.
So there they are, 111 major villains from the last 18 years worth of Power Ranger seasons.
Myself, I've been a fan of nearly all of them, and have only 'hated'
one villain
(useless stupid Grumble Grumble Grumble).
Anyways, for those needing the breakdown:
Rita to Ivan Ooze is the original series as well as the Alien Rangers mini-series and the first movie.
King Mondo to Prince Gasket is Zeo.
Divatox to Mama D is the Turbo movie and the Turbo season.
Dark Specter to the Psycho Rangers is In Space.
Scorpious to Titanisaur is Lost Galaxy.
Queen Bansheera to Jinxer is Lightspeed Rescue.
Ransik to Frax is Time Force.
Master Org to the Mut-Orgs is Wild Force.
Lothor to Marah & Kapri is Ninja Storm.
Mesogog to the Evil White Ranger clone is Dino Thunder.
Emperor Gruumm to Omni is SPD.
The Master to Imperious is Mystic Force.
Flurious to Thrax is Operation Overdrive.
Dai Shi to the Five Fingers of Poison is Jungle Fury.
Venjix to Tenaya 7/15 is RPM.
Xandred to Deker is Samurai.
Few things here; you see a wide variety of villains in the Power Ranger series: The Master from Mystic Force was a full on Eldritch Abomination, while the Venjix Computer Virus wiped out 90% of the Earth and put the remaining population except for the city of Cornith into forced labor camps(why machine creatures need a labor camp I have no clue). The Psycho Rangers, as the name says, were completely bat #$%^ insane, and wanted nothing more then to just slaughter the other real Rangers. I liked Master Org as well, as he is the only villain to actually kill someone on screen....well alright, it was seen as shadows on the wall, but he still killed the parents of the Red Ranger by having vines impale them.
But my all time favorite villain is still from the first movie: Ivan Ooze was just such an over the top out of this world creation, that he will always be my hero...plus you know, he died by getting kneed in the balls and knocked into a comet.

Astronema.
There was something that was also so real and believable about her. She always stuck me as someone I would love to be friends with, and yet would never cease to scare the piss out of me.

It's coming soon as a Mod has the time to add it in.
Edit: And there it is.

My only reaction was:
"Took you long enough, noob"
Has anyone noticed that Alexstrasza and Rita look similar?

Rita wore nothing besides plate underwear?
Wierd... I don't remember that. Must have been censored.

Rita had a GREAT voice-actress in the latin american dub (50 times better than her english voice) and its why I loved her.
But while she was a funny villain, she wasn't a very realistic one, and while Zedd was my ultimate favorite, eventually they castrated him into a dumb idiot.
Ransik remains as my ultimate favorite villain in power rangers.
Not only he looks like a badass (He pulls his own bones to use as weapons, and has an armor that I wish was available in wow) he was the first bad guy who actually DEFEATED the rangers.
Yes he did, he effortlessly managed to beat the crap out of them, and he would had won if he hadn't experienced a Heel Face Turn due to blasting his daughter by accident.
He also was the only bad guy who was neither killed, nor forcibly turned good via an asspull or cheap plot device like so many others were. Nope, this guy owned up to his mistakes and worked to undo what he originally did wrong.
Easily the most believable, badass, and awesome bad guy ever.
I'll see if I can find some clips of Rita's LATIN AMERICAN VA (because her Spaniard Spanish VA STINKS, seriously WORST ACTRESS EVER)

Regular Putties, Super Putties, or Z Putties?
And realized that while I talked about the big ones, didn't really mention the smaller fry heh.
For Season 1-3: I loved Squat and Baboo, as those two were just hilarious with the things they used to say, such as Squat's immortal line of "You can't blame me! I was asleep!" Goldar was awesome...but he got old, really fast, since he was always there to fight the Rangers and always get defeated but never killed heh. Scorpina was really hot as a human but her giant form was pure nightmare fuel: That weird bug mix with the long stinger tail. As for Rito Revolto....good god, Rito was awesome! He had some of the best lines in the series, from the comments he'd make about people to his constant calling Zedd Ed.
I loved the Demons from Lightspeed Rescue, pretty much all of them....though it felt really satisfying to watch Olympius die heh, after what he did.
I honestly thought that Wild Force had some of the best villains so far; I know a lot of people bash on the series but still. Those two guys, Jindrax and Toxica were a great team, with Jindrax having all the good lines while Toxica was the snark bait. And when Toxica was killed, Jindrax went nuts and nearly died trying to avenge her; it was nice to see the romance angle actually carry over from the Japanese show(which didn't happen as much with Goldar and Scorpina). And the Grand Duke Orgs were all complete monsters; more then willing to kill each other to make sure they would be the most powerful of the forces...and Mandilok...just Mandilok. I also like Zen-Aku, as he was the 6th Ranger once he was purified; he was the one to give the Rangers the most trouble, and it was nice to see in the epilogue that he was still in existence.
For Ninja Storm, I liked Lothor because he cracked jokes but other then that, he was kind of meh. But the real charms on the villain side were Marah & Kapiri; again, they were those two guys, and incredibly ditzy and stupid, but I just loved them...though, Marah kinda of creeped me out at the end, when she had her crush on Cam, her cousin....
Jungle Fury had a good group of enemies too; the Dai Shi was actually a conflicted character for once, as it was a spirit inhabiting the body of a friend of the Rangers, so the entire season was about him fighting against going completely evil...well till the end of course. I liked Camille, even if she was primarily the Dragon and had a really really really long tongue that she used to eat her fellow monster a lot....heh. The Phantom Beast Generals are up there with the Orgs when it comes to back stabbing against their own master, as they tried to kill Camille to make Jarod transform completely into Dai Shi at the very end.
Not an actual villain(well they were but still) but the Alphabet Soup from RPM is the most corrupt organization to ever exist in the Power Rangers universe: They would kidnap genius children and lie to them for their entire lives, just to use them to create weapons and other things to use against the rest of the world. I loved that they got destroyed when Venjix escaped....even if the escape means that everything from MMPR to Jungle Fury was all in vain, and it could even have affected SPD and possibly the Time Force time lines as well.

I don't know why but this did make me laugh.

I believe that should be spoken of on a case-to-case basis.
Obviously, some series were wose than others. Same with actors and episodes.

Can say that about anything: The only truly horrible season is Turbo, but all of the others have their good and bad parts; great heroes, amazing villains, and once they added in a true over all story line, it started getting much better.

I'm telling you, the movie was just as good as any... I don't remember the series that well, though.

Eh, the movie wasn't 'bad', but it wasn't the first one, and the series that spawned from it was god awful and mind numbingly bad.
