Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That would probably be because they hired martial artists to act instead of teaching actors to do martial arts. For better or worse I respect that decision. Even if Haim Saban is a homophobic Zionist piece of shit.

cause we were dumb kids and had the power of imagination.

Now we're adults with failing health, beaten down by life and full of regret, and we cast a longing eye back to our better days and can only see the flaws,as we have long since lost the wonder.

Because back then, it was different from everything else. The over the top movements, 5 little robot dinosaurs turning into a giant robot, the monsters being eclectic.
