All I can say right now, at least training to improve is better than moping around and trying to find an answer to problems. I don't really have a problem with this clip being similar to Joe's as this could be utilized differently. Noah is apparently one of the weaker fighters even with the swordsmanship he gains as Super Megaforce Blue. To get better? Well, what else but actually train with the sword itself.
here is continuity and does reflect how Noah felt in Going Viral. So this episode scenario isn't really out of the blue or out of character as he has shown us that he feels inadequate in battle when it comes to bladed weapons.
Just because he's intelligent and logical doesn't mean he doesn't suffer from his emotions, especially emotions that reflect his being a Power Ranger. This may be make believe, but imagine if this were real and that someone as important as Noah is was entrusted with the saving the world over and over again. You mean to tell me he will never in his lifetime face a monster that will best him in something he isn't good at making him doubt himself and his abilities? Obviously Noah isn't hurling the swords at him to kill himself, but to strengthen his swordsmanship so that whatever happened in battle against that monster does not happen again. That's how I see it.
I like that Noah has more to his character than just "AH, NERD!". In fact, he seems to be the only one out of the group really stepping it up for the whole invasion. Gia's just managing remodeling, Jake and Emma have been helping Ernie, and Troy is spending hours upon hours standing at the beach instead of actually searching for Robo Knight. All of those things, normal characters can do. Noah has been looking up new ways to fight back, studying the ranger powers, and making himself better at fighting.
And he's breaking from just "Ha, he's the smart one who figures the hard stuff out". He has quick insecurity when he's presented with a challenge and he's a bit of a loner for the most part when he's not with the team. He's stubborn as well. Him and Jake are probably the better non-(full)comedic characters of the show.
Yeah. Sure, there are times when the "we are a team" approach works (like the water bottle training scene from last year. Troy had mastered a new technique and then, only after that, taught it to his teammates) and there are times when, like Noah said, things have to be done solo. Noah is trying to learn a new technique, and Emma's concern, while well based, actually serves to distract him in his training. He hasn't yet mastered a new technique, and one wrong move could have been dangerous for him. Had she not even stepped forward at that point, he would've been fine.
