Villain Demotion

Ray's Ramblings

Power Rangers is a franchise that treats the way it adapts Super Sentai villain factions in many different ways. They can either completely copy the villain faction in its hierarchy or completely throw out of the formula and add in new villains to replace others, swap around its hierarchy, or just adapt an important villain into a monster-of-the-week.
