Stupid (Treatment) is What Stupid (TV) Gets

When broadcast media companies won’t listen to the die-hard fan community of their supposed-to-be-remake of a show with heavy following, things can get pretty messy. As cited by Mike Abundo’s blogsite [1] [2], fans were pissed at the treatment the classic tokusatsu Shaider got from GMA Network and put the matter in their own hands.
Wikipedia, being a neutral zone became a theater for one of probably the most hilarious “vandalism” in history. The entry for Zaido was already brought back to how it was intended by purportedly proponents of the broadcast company but we caught first the juicy details of the hilarity. Here are some of them presented with the current and the hilarious alternative:

*… it is revealed in the series that Avilo (a spacecraft/robot) and the Blue Falcon (a combat motorcycle) are updated versions of Shaider’s Vavilos (Babilos in the Philippine dub) and Blue Hawk, respectively.

Insult to shows outside of Metal Heroes series include: the “Z” configuration of the Zaido Zuper Zlazh, in reference to Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah…

*Gallian lost his parents because of Le-ar’s evil conquests and was then adopted by the Galactic Force. He has extraordinary skills in combat because he has the blood of a hero. As Blue Zaido, head of the Zaido, he was tasked to look for other Zaido all over the world to help him fight for the safety of the universe.
Gallian lost his parents, barrio folks and the entire baranggay of Kukurukuku because of Le-ar’s evil conquests and was then adopted by the Galactic Farce. He has run-of-the-mill skills in combat because he has heroin in the blood. As Blue-baby Zaido, head of the Zaido, he was tasked to look for other Zaido all over the world to entice them to fight supposedly for the safety of the universe, but in fact to solve a problem he has to solve all by himself.

* Like Alexis, Cervano also comes from Earth — but while his cousin leads a harsher life, Cervano’s life has it all and more. There is an unexplainable rage within him that he masks with bravado. But even with his less than pleasing personality, he manages to attract the girls. And he likes it that way.
Like Alexis, Cervano also comes from Earth — but while his cousin leads a hashish-smoking life, Cervano’s life has it all and more illegal drugs. There is an unexplainable rage within him that he masks with bravado. But even with his less than socially-acceptable personality, he manages to attract the fags and transvestites. And he likes it that way.

The three Zaido will engage in intensive cross-dressing under the leadership of Commander Zion, head of the Galactic Farce and Streetfighter’s Bison copycat…

The alternative sure makes for an amusing read, don’t you think so?
