(Parody) Power Rangers sue Netflix for copyright infringement over “Voltron: Legendary Defender.”

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have returned! 

After binge watching the first season of “Voltron: Legendary Defender” on Netflix, the Power Rangers noticed similarities between their lives and Team Voltron. 

The Power Rangers are now suing Netflix for copyright infringement. 

The original team claim that the Netflix original TV show “Voltron: Legendary Defender,” stole elements and characters right from their own lives and adventures. 

Each of the Power Rangers believe that Netflix executives and producers knew full well they were stealing from them. 

“We’re a group of teenagers who get special powers after we get color-coded suits that match our personalities from an ancient being and metal animals that turn into a giant metal man that helps us fight evil aliens,” Jason Lee Scott, the Red Ranger, said. 

“Voltron: Legendary Defender” is about a group of teenagers who get special powers and color-coded suits from an ancient being that match their personalities, as well as mechanical animals that turn into a giant metal man that helps them fight against evil aliens. 

“I mean, clearly someone at Netflix watched us battle Rita Repulsa and Lord Zed,” Tommy Oliver, the White Ranger, said. 

Oliver also pointed out how he and Shiro, the Black Paladin, are a lot alike because both of them “were forced to work for the bad guys against our will, but then broke free and found solidarity with our teammates.”  

Netflix refused to comment about the similarities between “Power Rangers” and “Voltron.” 

In a statement to the press, a Netflix spokesman claimed the Power Rangers team has no grounds to win their case.

“Various of ‘Voltron’ have been produced since the 1980s and the Power Rangers have been around since 1993 with ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,’” the Netflix spokesman said. “If anything, both franchises have been copying each other ever since their creation.” 

At the time of publication, it is unclear if the case will be settled by having a Voltron - Power Rangers crossover program on Netflix.

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...

Life and Persecution: Some so-called Catholics that should be excommunicated

(This article was originally published on January 20, 2018) The Roman Catholic Church has seen its share of good and bad times. Yet the Catholic Church has survived for over 2,000 years, from the persecution by the Roman Empire to the rise and fall of Communism.  Yesterday, January 19, young Catholic men and women across the United States joined tens of thousands of other young adults in the 45th March for Life. Even those who were unable to march continue to support the pro-life cause and live their Catholic faith everyday of their lives. All of these men and women—Catholics, Christians, and non-Christians alike—showed our country that there are plenty of Millennials stand up for the unborn and want to end legalized abortion in the United States. Catholics should be proud of their heritage as Catholics and to call themselves Catholic. They are part of the majority of lay people who really do their best to live and practice their Catholic faith. But ...
