Again I have to respectfully disagree.

Not to mention the NS Sword of Omens is nothing compared to the OS Sword of Omens.

And just to add on Panthro (not directed at anyone) he honestly bares no resemblance to the OS Panthro anymore. You know the bad ass nunchuku wielding dude? The NS Panthro has been reduced to comic relief. I don't mind it some of the time, but I do feel they turned an awesome character into a "not so awesome" character with Panthro. In all honesty I could say the same thing about Lion-O and Cheetara.

Thank you.

MJ said he didn't want to make the SoO to powerful. What?? That is one of the reasons this show was popular. Lion-o is weak in the NS.

Agree with the other characters. There is one character the writers or should I say writer upstaged (his own words) a lot.
