BeetleBorgs

This was my favorite show when I was in 3rd grade. It was better than Power Rangers because the heroes are usually younger kids that work at a comic book shop who are less taller and their costumes are based on an insect just like the kamen riders. They fight monsters that were brought to live from comic books. My favorite character was The Blue Stinger, I even had the action figure of this guy but I threw it away a long time ago. It was first aired on Fox Kids then in a few short years later, it was re-running on UPN United Paramount Pictures. It was a good show.

I woke up one saturday morning and found this show on Fox. It was one of the coolest shows I've ever seen! Wait, I'm wrong, it is THE best show I've ever seen! It was at least 10 times better than Power Rangers and at least 5 times better than the original "Big Bad Beetleborgs" This one had cooler suits, cooler weapons, and cooler enemies. The Robot Saga was the best, where they had to fight robots. This show is fantastic! I give it **********(out of 5).

Now that I look back at this, I think it was a pretty good show. It was something like Power Rangers, but not as good. especailly the Power Rangers series today. They are 10 times better than this. But I was never happy when a show had a kid as a hero, but this show pulled it off with 3 kids as superheroes. I think if the japanese version "Metal Heroes" continued in Japan, Beetleborgs would probably have gotten better just like Power Rangers.

I thought that the Big Bad Beetleborgs Movie kicked major butt!!! Exspecially Nukus (he's sooooo hot)! I like watch that movie 24-7, and I never get tired of it. Go Beetleborgs!!! I think that the whole series of Beetleborgs were cool mainly the Metallix series (cause Nukus was in it); I like it because they didn't repeat the episode plots. Like power rangers it was the same thing all the time with the vilains, but in Beetleborgs it was different. They had more to it, it was funny, and the people in them acted better it didn't seem fake like in power rangers.

I have had a fascinations with insects, robots, monsters, and drawing and this season was the perfect marriage of those things. I only saw this season but is was good enough. I liked how the heroes were able to think and use their powers outside of battle creatively, especially with their "Bug-out" power which transforms them into insects. The armor, weapons, vehicles and monsters were very cool, especially head villain Nukus (played with utter glee by Christopher Cho). Do I have a favorite Beetleborg? No! One particular episode with a Piranha monster proved that. Why did I give this show an 8? It was good mindless relief for a time and the other factor was that the show ended rather abruptly due to lack of stock footage. Otherwise it was a good, less violent and equally enjoyable experience.
