Recenzii
Nobody has told the Power Rangers story as comprehensively as Moore tells it, because nobody else has spent as much time immersed in the show and with people who helped bring it to life, as well as with the people-fans like him-who've kept it alive. Tenacious reporting, lively writing, and unrelenting passion make Morphenomenal an entertaining experience befitting the show whose history it chronicles.
Morphenomenal is a meticulously researched love-letter to 30 years of the Power Rangers superhero franchise. Joshua Moore has crafted a readable and compelling story that will delight anyone interested in popular culture, whether Power Rangers fans or otherwise. Morphenomenal guides us through the brand's triumphs, hiccoughs and setbacks, from the perspective of a lifelong Power Rangers enthusiast. I couldn't put it down.
Morphenomenal is a stellar look at the creation (well, re-creation) of a franchise that would become a household name. It's a wonderful deep dive into a watershed moment of pop culture and the surprising legacy it's had - few expected Power Rangers to be more than a campy addition to early '90s children's television. Thirty years later, those naysayers have been proven wrong and Moore's book is the perfect gift for everyone that's stood on the side of those Mighty Morphin teens.
All heroes have an origin story, but the most compelling ones are the tales of the underdogs who brought them to life. With meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Moore transforms the behind-the-scenes history of the Power Rangers into a thrilling saga as dynamic as a classic Mighty Morphin episode. This book is essential reading for anyone fascinated by the real origins of this iconic pop culture franchise.
Moore has put his energy, knowledge, and insight of Power Rangers history into Morphenomenal, and the result is a fun and invoking read for any fan of the franchise, young or old.
Morphenomenal by Joshua Moore is a wonderfully satisfying catalog of the creation and duration of the Power Rangers as a pop culture franchise. It's a comprehensively researched and entertaining record of modern media history and the way it can capture everything from television to toys to comics to movies and videogames. In an era where information is becoming harder and harder to find and verify, Moore has presented the ultimate document for Power Rangers fans and media historians (like me) to add to our libraries to make sure that this story is preserved and accessible for future generations.
Thanks to author Joshua Moore, fans will now get the chance to go behind the scenes for a unique look at the franchise.. Moore's meticulous research, extensive conversations with cast and crew, and attention to detail have unequivocally captured the magic of what made this show so special.
