recently, as soon as I came back home, I felt like I was immediately teleported to 2023 - when I was still living here - so I decided it was a good time to do a rewatch of Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, my comfort show as a kid, along with the Dino Thunder series.
I know it may seem that it is just a kids show, but for me, every time I do a rewatch, it teaches me new things and unlocks memories that were just living in the back of my brain.
as a kid, I really wanted to be a Power Ranger. for me, being able to have my group of friends, being able to fight the world with them, and having special powers, was the best thing in the world.
growing up I realised that I still think it is. and I realised that special powers are living within all of us: in what we love, in what we believe in, in our ability to pick ourselves up again every time we fall.
when I think about Ninja Storm, one character always comes to my mind first: Hunter.
when I was a kid, I definitely had a crush on him, but now that I'm older, I can see that there are actually many other reasons why Hunter became my favourite character.
he is very focused on being strong and proving himself. he doesn't really trust other people and prefers to do things on his own. he is also very protective of Blake, and you can see how important their relationship is to him. he is hurt, confused, and being manipulated by someone who knows how to use his pain against him.
the story of the thunder rangers is also quite sad, as Hunter and Blake believe that the wind rangers are responsible for something terrible that happened, so they want revenge. they are angry because they think they have lost someone important because of them.

I simply love the thunder rangers and their story and how they have the best character development in my opinion.
so now I feel the need to do a rewatch again - of course...
I'd say it is my comfort show with my comfort characters since I was a kid. and the way I relate to most of them, especially to Hunter, is just something that brings me a bit of peace.
and you? do you have a comfort show you used to watch as a kid?
who was your comfort character?
