Go Go Loser Ranger is like no other anime on the market today, or perhaps no other anime that has ever existed. Taking the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers franchise and turning it on its head, this anime series might just have something for everyone. Thanks to the Divine Dragon Rangers' secrets that they hold back from the public, the anime adaptation isn't just a play on the Sentai franchise but also feels like a tribute to Homelander, The Seven, and the world of The Boys.

Go Go Loser Ranger starts how you might expect when it comes to any of the Power Rangers series that have arrived in the past. What viewers learn is that the Rangers of this world have long since defeated the monsters that were attempting to take over the surface. The "Villainous Army of Evil" still exist but they are effectively the play things of this world's rangers, as the Divine Dragon Rangers find themselves wheeling out the "footsoldiers" to defeat ad nauseum for an adoring public. This repeating act hints at the true sadism of these anime Rangers, which begins to unfold in a similar structure to The Boys, showing that the Red Ranger has more than a little in common with Homelander.

The Divine Dragon Boys

Of course, the Rangers aren't the only ones that play a role in this anime. Much like Hughie from The Boys, Footsodlier D finds himself dragged into a world that he didn't expect as he attempts to get revenge against the super-powered individuals keeping him down. Much like the group formed by Butcher, Footsoldier D is going to find himself with the opportunity to take a swing at his tormentors, but will his world become worse due to this?

If you want to catch the current episodes of Go Go Loser Ranger, the installments are streaming on Hulu. Here's how the streaming service describes the series, "When the Monster Army invaded Earth thirteen years ago, the Divine Dragon Rangers rose up to stop them! With the war raging on, these great heroes are mankind's Last Hope!...or are they? In truth, the invaders were subjugated within a year, forced to continue to crank out a monster a week for the Rangers to crush in front of their adoring fans! But one monster has had enough. Something has to change! He'll rebel against the might of the Dragon Rangers and destroy them all...from the inside!"

In this Episode The ComicBook Nation does a detailed breakdown of the Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer, before going even deeper to discuss the finale of Sh?gun, and if Season 2 is needed.

PLUS, TV recap of X-Men '97 Episode 7 and Bastion's debut, a review of the Sonic spinoff series Knuckles, and a look at the WWE Draft!

Knuckles Review

In his review of Knuckles, ComicBook.com's Marc Deschamps wrote:

Despite some small issues I had with the show, I found Knuckles to be a delightful new chapter in the ongoing Sonic the Hedgehog Cinematic Universe. What could have been a drawn out movie with a lower budget is instead an absurdly hilarious adventure that adds more depth to a pair of established characters. The music's great, and Adam Pally and Idris Elba might have better chemistry than we even saw between Ben Schwartz and James Marsden. There are bound to be some Sega fans disappointed that the show doesn't feature a bigger threat, or more of a presence from Sonic and friends. We should get both of those things in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 though, and I'm happy that we got something weird and unique to flesh out this universe. Knuckles is not going to be the Sega adaptation anyone is expecting, but it's a wild ride worth taking, especially for fans of the Sonic films.

Abigail Review

Host Kofi Outlaw gave Abigail 3.5. out of 5 stars in his review:

As many horror fans will wonder: Abigail (thankfully) never takes itself too seriously; never pretends the audience doesn't know the twist, or ever imagines being anything other than an efficiently executed, single-setting, (and literally) ripping-and-roaring good time. It doesn't re-invent the B-movie horror wheel in any way, but its balanced blend of heist action, crime drama, gore horror, and comedy does make it a uniquely fun experience, from a director team that is hitting its best strides.

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Review

Patrick Cavanaugh gives the film 2 out of 5 stars in his review:

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is mostly a harmless outing that isn't actively bad, and even has isolated incidents of charm, if even just accidentally. It's hard to pull together a cast like this and end up without anything entertaining, so the stars are the ones who deserve the most credit in the experience. The overall product, however, feels like the distillation of Ritchie's career, in that he wants to embrace the roots of his more effective and abrasive cinematic sensibilities yet also doesn't want to commit to anything too provocative that won't prevent Disney from offering him Aladdin 2... instead feeling like an entirely inoffensive and forgettable film that would have otherwise been released straight to VOD if not for a somewhat recognizable cast.

It's tough being a goon who has to take on any kind of "Sentai Ranger", but the world of Go Go Loser Ranger takes things up a notch for its evil underlings. The Divine Dragon Rangers of the newest anime hit are on top of the world, but their corruption is a tightly held secret from the general public. Following the premiere episode that set the stage for "Foot Soldier D", the Sentai anime has released a new preview to get fans hyped for the second outing of the Rangers.

Surprisingly, there has never been an official anime adaptation for the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, though the Sentai franchise continues to be widely explored to this day. The latest live-action series focusing on Power Rangers was Power Rangers Cosmic Fury on Netflix, and brought back a fan-favorite villain to the forefront. Lord Zedd made a comeback in the thirtieth season of the franchise, taking on the latest cast of Rangers. While no new season has been confirmed for this year, it's clear that the Sentai genre isn't going anywhere any time soon.

Go Go Loser Ranger Episode 2 Preview

Go Go Loser Ranger is one of many new anime series that are an exclusive of Disney+/Hulu, joining the likes of Undead Unluck, Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, Sand Land, and more. As the anime streaming wars continue, expect more platforms to fight over the latest series and movies in the medium.

If you want to learn more about the new anime series taking place in a "Power Rangers-style" universe, here's how Yostar Productions describes the story of the Loser Ranger, "When the Monster Army invaded Earth thirteen years ago, the Divine Dragon Rangers rose up to stop them! With the war raging on, these great heroes are mankind's last hope ...or are they? In truth, the invaders were subjugated within a year, forced to continue to crank out a monster a week for the Rangers to crush in front of their adoring fans! But one monster has had enough. Something has to change! He'll rebel against the might of the Dragon Rangers and destroy them all...from the inside!"
