Recap / Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers S1E32 A Star is Born

Go To

While Tommy is busy competing with Bulk for a role on a Karate commercial, the other Rangers face a double threat: the cocooning menace of Scorpina's pet worm, and the baseball-fevered Babe Ruthless!

Tropes

  • Behemoth Battle: Dinozords vs. Babe Ruthless, Goldar and Scorpina, then vs. the silkworm.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: The silkworm.
  • Dragon-in-Chief: Goldar takes command of the day's operation because Rita's too tired to do it herself
  • Exact Words: After seeing Bulk's martial arts display, the people making the commercial think they have their man. As their "before" man.
  • Fan Disservice: Bulk's not the first choice for a shirtless scene, let’s just say.
  • Kick the Dog: Bulk thought he got the part and rubs it in Tommy's face. Then he sticks his tongue at him.
  • Monster of the Week: Babe Ruthless and the Silkworm.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: It's just an audition for a local commercial, not national, and yet Bulk treats it like it's for an A-List movie, with all the vanity that comes from being a prima donna.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Instead of just rubbing the already squirted sunscreen on Bulk, Skull uses mayonnaise as a substitute, resulting in giving his friend first-degree sunburn.
  • Vacation Episode: This is technically one for Rita, though it's hardly what you'd call relaxing since her minions don't make any progress with the rangers, even with two monsters on hand. Goldar tells her not to do it since she's the boss, but she's not hearing any of it.
