Evil Lairs

MattEmily · 09/15/15, 05:36 PM

you know a question over at rangerboard had been asked in regards to how often the evil lairs have been destroyed and I think that's a good question to tackle.

Rita and Zedd's Palace = Rita's Palace was usually wrecked due to summoning Lokar or when Zedd came.

Space Skull = Master Vile actually destroyed his own lair as a result of him growing.

Machine Skybase = wasn't destroyed.
Subcraft = never touched.
Space Base = it had been damaged by the second team briefly but never destroyed.

Dark Fortress = never destroyed.
Scorpion Stinger = it crashed and therefore it was destroyed.
Skull Cavern = destroyed.
Prison Ship = not destroyed.
Nexus = in the case of this specific lair it's hard to say whether it was actually destroyed or if the destruction sequence was just an act of the Sealing of the Nexus but whatever the case it doesn't really matter since the Orgs can't get toit.

Lothor's Ship = He blew it up.
Island Fortress = Hayley blew it up.
Gruumm's Terror = I believe the Swat Megazord blew it up.
Underworld = It was damaged but not destroyed.
Moltor's Lair = I remember that the volcano was overflowing and it was causing the planet to become unstable but whether the lair along with the planet was destroyed or not I'm not entirely sure.
Flurious' Lair =
Dai-Shi's Temple = damaged but I don't think it was destroyed.
Venjix Palace =
Xandred's Ship = not destroyed.
Warstar Ship = destroyed since it crashed.
Mutant Cave =
Warstar Underwater Base = destroyed since Vrak blew it up.
Armada Ship =
Sledge's Ship =

Did the Machine Empire destroy the palace during their invasion? We never see it again.

They attempted to but their main objective was to just get Rita and Zedd to retreat... we never saw any solid evidence of the Palace actually being destroyed.

I always thought it was wierd Mondo and Machina didn't make the palace their base.

Basically because they wanted to use the Sentai footage. But it would have been cool if they kept original footage. Maybe even keep Zedd and Rita around as main villains.

I think it doesn't feel the same as it used to when the bases are destoryed. Mostly because it is done so much for both the villains and heroes.

I didn't find it weird at all the Machine Skybase was their ship and they had been using it for who knows how many years as their base of operations so why would they change it?

The Machine Skybase isn't the only instance of them using Sentai footage for the evil base and it's usually cheaper to keep the Sentai base anyway. Rita's Palace, Master Vile's Space Skull, Captain Mutiny's Castle, Skull Cavern, Underworld, Dai-Shi's Temple, Master Xandred's Boat, Malkor's Ship, Mutant Cave, Vrak's Underwater Lair and Armada Ship were in fact the Sentai bases that we had kept in Power Rangers and based on what I know Xandred's Boat and the Mutant Cave are the only Sentai lairs that did not have any new footage. The Nexus was also the Sentai lair but most of its early footage was new because of Master Org's presence.

I wouldn't say it's been done a lot to the villains' lairs and while it had been done a lot to the Rangers' bases it hasn't been done as often... why don't we see shall we?

Command Center = Rito and Goldar blew it up.
Power Chamber = Rygog and Elgar blew it up.
Astro Megaship = self destructed.
Aquabase = destroyed.
Clock Tower = damaged. (can't recall if it was destroyed or not)
Animarium = it was attacked but it was not destroyed.
Ninja Ops = it was heavily damaged but people could still enter.
Dino Labs = same as Ninja Ops. Zeltrax had damaged it but people could still enter.
S.P.D. Base = not destroyed
Rootcore = damaged but not destroyed.
Hartford Mansion = the base itself was never attacked only the Mansion ground level floor had been attacked but was not destroyed.
Jungle Karma Pizza = not attacked.
Dr. K's Garage = attacked once or twice but not destroyed.
Shiba House = attacked once or twice but not destroyed.
Command Cave = attacked at least once but not destroyed.
