(Open on Linkara sitting on his Futon, looking listless)

Linkara: Hello, and welcome to "Atop the Fourth Wall", where bad comics burn. I think it's pretty well-established by now that I'm a Power Rangers fan. If it isn't, I LIKE POWER RANGERS!!

(Footage of the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is shown)

Linkara (v/o): But let's get something straight: just because I'm a fan of it doesn't mean I can't poke fun at it. Let's face it, the show is cheesy, the concept ridiculous, sometimes casting doesn't see a potential problem that they really should have, the science is ridiculous, and there's just a lot to make fun of.

(Cut to a parody video of this show: CollegeHumor's "Zordon is Racist")

Linkara (v/o): As such, I laugh at plenty of parodies of it, like CollegeHumor's Zordon is Racist sketch...

(Cut to footage of an appropriate parody on Animaniacs)

Linkara (v/o): ...or Animaniacs's sketch making fun of the fight scenes and dialogue and morality plays.

Yakko, Wakko and Dot: (in unison) Right.

Linkara (v/o): The other thing to remember about those, THEY'RE ACTUALLY FUNNY!!

Linkara: Unlike today's comic, Mightily Murdered Power Ringers. It's a black-and-white parody comic and, oh! It's been awhile since we got to enjoy a black-and-white comic on this show, hasn't it?

Linkara (v/o): And hell, what's the track record for these things? There was "Sinnamon" that bizarrely injected Mulder and Scully into the narrative along with communist rednecks. Then there was "Sultry Teenage Super Foxes", both issues of it, that were either incredibly stupid and sexist or just boring. "Xena #1" was just violent schlock, and finally, there was "Bimbos in Time", a comic that the creator freely admitted was made with the intent to make it the worst comic ever.

Linkara: And kudos to that creator; it's a good contender for that vaunted position. And today on out 150th episode, let's meet another as we dig into Mightily Murdered Power Ringers #1.

(Opening titles; title card with the song "Go Green Ranger" playing.)

Linkara (v/o): The cover is a generic group shot against a gradient background. I get the feeling that this was supposed to parody a group shot as well, but it's not exactly impressive. The extent of it is that one person is holding another, one guy is standing on top of yet another, and... while the Red Ringer is supposed to be standing on the pink one, it sure as hell isn't made clear.

This guide is unfinished. Please finish it. Thanks.
