Relativistic Rangers (Power Rangers)

I realize how this must seem, but bear with me.

At about 2:30, Zedd explains to Goldar that his newest monster, dubbed Magnet Brain, will be made out of Billy's polarizing device and a literal magnetic field.

At 11:40 the Rangers react to a wave fired by Magnet Brain. I know it looks funky--much like straight up light reflections in previous episodes looked like a fucking Hyperbeam--but given Magnet Brain is literally made of a magnetic field, it seems logical to me that he'd be loosing EM waves. It'd be kind of confusing if that shit weren't visible to the audience, much like lasers shouldn't really be visible but are so in nigh every fiction. It's not even like the Rangers can see it; they run right into it, only having reacted to it by coincidence, and start flailing around once they feel its effects. And later in the episode, Jason and Zack have no idea why their blasters backfire when Magnet Brain does the same shit right in front of them.

EM wave propagation velocity is, of course, the speed of light.

Well, couldn't be fucked to scale right now, but that shit should be relativistic :NOworries

This may seem hella outlier, but in anticipation of the shit like the Galaxy Gliders and Andros clashing with Zedd (In Space is really clear in my mind, for some reason :psyduck), it's actually pretty reasonable. I guess it's just a matter of whether you guys think I'm full of shit for calling those EM waves or not :distracted

Also of note, this was all after this asshole disrupted the entire Earth's magnetic field and was hyped to be able to actually disintegrate the planet :distracted
