Thank you Super Sentai

 

This weekend is last hurrah for Japanese tokusatsu franchise, Super Sentai.. as it will be on hiatus till further notice.
 
It gained popularity over the years because their footage is the source for Power Rangers. It’s another long story if we gonna explore the ties between them.
 
For me personally, I actually first watched it when I was a kid, in the form of Choushinsei Flashman. Of course it was dubbed into BM, back in those days. From there, I continued to Maskman then Jetman. Honestly three of these Sentai were among the best imo, in terms of storyline.
 
Then life goes on, and there’s when Power Rangers came into picture. It was when I was in University, a friend of mine reintroduced Sentai to me and I started back with Boukenger, while catching up with a few Sentai seasons prior to it. Even since then, I have been watching every (modern) season till the latest (and final one for this period)
 
It has been fun, and truly it has changed the world for many. Thank you for the memories and we will await your return in future
 
Super Sentai is forever!

Martin Smith

Despite my tight Saturday schedule, I decided to do a quick stop to hear him in person. This man, Martin Smith wrote well-known worship songs like “i could sing of your love”, “majesty”, “did you feel the mountains tremble?”. Legendary worship leader and songwriter. His band Delirious have inspired and shaped the modern worship music. I also love songs like “my glorious” and “rain down” 

Hearing him and watching him in person warms my heart. Like many in my generation (and before?), we grew up singing his songs. In fact, his song “history maker” was the song that put me on this path that I am on.

I’m amazed as well, that even at his age, he is still leading worship powerfully. I hope I can still do so when I am at his age.
 
 
A bit disappointed that I unable to stay longer but seeing him doing what he does, in person, warms my heart

MGD Tim's Thoughts -- Wonder Man S01




First MCU release of 2026 received high reviews. After watching it, I can understand why.

It’s not like your typical superhero series, so if you are looking for action-packed fights, there’s none for you though. Instead, you would get a smart and critical storytelling, which explores the human side and reality of life.

The “reappearance” of Trevor (after Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi appearance) actually offered a lot of substance to the story while showing a different side of him.

Meanwhile, I do find D+ strategy for this series rather interesting. Releasing all 8 episodes at once, each roughly about 30mins plus. So, if you watch it at one-go, it’s as though you watched a MCU movie. hahaha. Gotta say episode 4 is the highlight in the series, along with the final half of final episode.

All the nods to popular culture though.. making all MCU-canon. hahaha. But fair to say, one of MCU’s D+ better series

Tim rates : 7.5/10
