Xandred a weak villain
 

Xandred was just too generic for me. Thats all he did half the time was complain about his headaches and need for medicine. He didn't come off as a lead villain to me. I like Amit's idea of having the Deker character be the lead villain with a different back story.

Re: Xandred a weak villain
 

I agree that Master Xandred was definitely a weak villain but I didn't like Amit's vision of things with using Shinkenger footage. He goes way too overboard on his visions.

Re: Xandred a weak villain
 

Actually, Amit still had Master Xandred as the big bad in the finalie. Deker was just the main villian for most of the season.

Re: Xandred a weak villain
 

I'm confused...Didn't Amit work on Wid Force and the original NS that was to be before MMPR Productions shut down? What did he have to do with Samurai and what is this other version?

Re: Xandred a weak villain
 

yes but he was part of Samurai as well. He was let go at some point though presumably either during Samurai or after it.

Re: Xandred a weak villain
 

He was a consultant during Samurai. Not sure how many of his ideas made it on the air. Tony Oliver was a consultant as well. Apparently dealing with a lot of the Bulk and Spike stuff. Amit actually had an outline for how he would have adapted Shurikenger into Samurai. The pitch wasn't picked up. So its nothing official . But Amit posted about it in his blog.

Deker and Dayu were much more interesting.

Re: Xandred a weak villain
 

Xandred was pretty bad ass. He was just weak for most of the season due to his previous defeat.

Re: Xandred a weak villain
 

Xandred was definitely a pathetic villain that's for sure but that was mostly because of the previous seal that was placed on him since even though he was able to awake the seal still made him suffer to the point that he couldn't cross over into our dimension without the necessary power otherwise he would instantly become weak however IMO that just makes him an even weaker villain since he couldn't do anything for most of the season whereas other evil leaders would at least do something such as coming up with a plan or whatever but he never did that either.

Rita = She regularly went to Finster to get a Monster made from him after sometimes coming up with an idea on her own. She would also go to Earth a few times to watch the action unfold.

Zedd = He would usually come up with the plans he went with on his own and also usually made his own monsters.

King Mondo = Didn't do a whole lot at first except come up with his own plans. He fought the Zeo Rangers at least a couple times.

He seemed weak because he wasn't at full strength for most of the seaon.
