Both villain sects were extremely different. The Evorian from Abaranger were complex and complicated to explain, they were from another dimension... Dino Earth. The Dino Thunder villains were dinosaur-hybrid creatures.
Mesogog / Dezumozorlya
Dezumozorlya was the mysterious boss/god of the Evorian. It took many hosts, of basically all of his minions and at the end of the castle. It came from a meteor that split the Earth into two dimensions---the second took the dinosaurs with them. He had two parts of him transmigrate from generation to generation, one in each dimension. One was Mikoto and another was Kasumi/Rije/Rijewel. He was replaced with Mesogog, a dinosaur-hybrid who came from an experiment and took over the body of Dr. Anton Mercer. He was cruel, dark and uncaring. Both were destroyed by the heroes at the end. Dezumozorlya took over their castle, while the castle became a 'zord' for Zeltrax.

Elsa / Jannu (Mohoro)
Mohoro was Asuka's (AbareBlack) love and fiance. Dezumozorlya raped her and taking over a child that was already Asuka's to create Rije. Jannu took over Mohoro's body and targeted Asuka. She even wore the Cursed Armor that was only known as Zeltrax in Dino Thunder. Jannu was seemingly killed, but was brought back into Mohoro. She tried to trick the bad guys as Jannu but risked her life. Ultimately, she was saved and lived with her husband and children on Dino Earth. Jannu was seen on footage in Dino Thunder in an episode where the Rangers saw a supposed show the Japanese made of the Rangers. She merely said she hated the Black Ranger.
Elsa was an irritating humor-less sidekick of Mesogog who pretended to be Principal Randall of the Ranger's High School. She merely wore glasses to conceal herself. Elsa wore an uninspired outfit, completely ditching Jannu's outfit. Elsa was the first villianess to have a new outfit other than the original source, since Trakeena in Lost Galaxy. She even got a new hairdo, but who cares. She ended up being a nameless woman who was hynpotized and brain-washed by Mesogog.

Gairudon / Cursed Armor / Zeltrax
The outfit you see above was the Cursed Armor, that would take over a person and have them be bent against evil. In Abaranger, it was worn by Jannu, Mohoro's brother Mizuho, and Asuka. Mizuho was killed by Jannu for her to take over the armor, they wanted revenge on Asuka. Asuka seemingly died once and was rescued by the armor. At the end, Dezumozorlya took over the armor to attack Asuka and Mohoro, it was destroyed by Abareyellow and Black. On the other hand, Zeltrax was a cyborg created by Mesogog that used to be Smitty, a colleague of Tommy who vowed revenge upon him. He defected from Mesogog and tapped into the Tree Life, which gave him the ability to transform into an advanced form. Since Zeltrax refuses to stop his efforts for ultimate revenge, the Power Rangers are forced to destroy him.

Voffa and Mikela were simply used for the Ninja Storm teamup and didn't speak. Rije/Rijewel I am covering for SPD.
To me, I think Mesogog and his cronies remind me of a cross between Dairanger's Gorma Tribe and Megaranger's Nejirejia.
ReplyDeleteMesogog reminds me of Lt Colonel Shadam and Dr Hinelar. His Mesomonster form reminds me of a cross between Dr Hinelar's mutated form and Gorma Emperor XVI
Zeltrax reminds of Major Zydos and Yugande whereas, Elsa's first form kind of looks like Lt Colonel Gara and her second form looks a little like Shibolena.(Mostly the head part.)
And as for the Evil White Ranger Clone? Guirail.
Well, for me, Mesogog's group reminds me of Boukenger's villain collectives. Here are their roles:
ReplyDeleteMesogog: Gai, mainly because they have the same personality, goals, and powers.
Elsa: Shizuka, mainly because they are both the only female villains in their seasons.
Zeltrax: Rei, mainly because they are the second-in-command villains of their respective groups.
White Dino Ranger Clone: Yaiba, mainly because they were more powerful than almost every villain in their seasons, temporarily served as the main villains for their respective seasons, and because they were the most treacherous and the most evil villains in their seasons. They also betrayed their masters near the end of their respective seasons.
