Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread

[sdp]

It's people overreacting.

[Voltron]

Oh, absolutely. Were it not for this thread, I'd have no idea it was going on.

That might be what saves him in the long run. Were this a more prominent celebrity, their career would have been torn to shreds at the hands of the Knights Twitlar, Guardians of This Week's Popular Cause.

Blake's biggest mistake was the double down, and not immediately getting the hell out of that situation ASAP.

It appears there's some activity going on at Bat In The Sun again. JDF, Ciara, Jenna Frank, and two other familiar faces....Johnny Young Bosch and Jason Faunt

Jenna Frank? Is that JDF's daughter? What does she have to do with PRs?

JDF's been teasing something with her as a new Green Ranger. There was a thread on Rangerboard regarding it, but it was locked down because the community there all despise JDF.

Considering how many fans seem to suck his *ick, it isn’t surprising there is one group.

[sdp]

I got a lot of hate on Rangerboard back in the early youtube era when JDF started attacking ASJ and I kept saying he was a jerk but it was only a few of us calling him out, back then you couldn't say anything bad about JDF. It took a few years for the fandom to realize that JDF is a jerk. And even though he is, I still love him and like seeing him come back.

That is nice.

I was thinking through all the different time travel concepts and one even more head scratching than End Game was how it worked in Power Rangers, yes historically inaccurate with Red Coats in California, but what did Master Vile do exactly? Lord Zedd reversed the course of the Earth to a decade prior? Vile did the same? Or did suck the life out of living beings reverting them to childhood because Leuitent Stone, a 35ish year old man was reverted to a similar age, right? I was wondering the people behind the show ever explained the age reverse logic.

I think Master Vile's Orb of Doom did the exact same thing Zedd's time reversal spell did. I always thought the effect was slightly different because each spell had a different source. Then again, the rangers also had different kinds of Power Coins than they did in season 2. Billy also thought it was the ninja Power Coins that allowed the other five to remember how things were in the present even if neither of them lived in Angel Grove in the time to where Master Vile's Orb of Doom caused time to regress.

And even then, It's surprising that any of that it even worked at all. Considering that Vile was relying on Rito - who seemed to be an idiot, to be able to place the Orb of Doom in a very specific position for the time reversal to work.

True and he somehow lost the Zeo Crystal when he blew up the original Commander Center? So deadly yet so incompetent. Perhaps it is simply the footage from the Japanese counterpart where they were father and son? Or was Rito killed before Vile's counterpart showed up. I don't remember what Linkara said. What stood out to me was Lieutenant Stone reverting to the same age as the Rangers, who went from 17 to 9? Something like that. It almost works better as something that sucks the life out of people causing them to de-age opposed to reversing course of planet about ten years prior.

I seriously hope this is true, the hashtag show has been wrong before, it's so overdue by now since he's been back into PRs mode for a few years now. No one wants to see Rocky as MMPR Red, no one. Never again.

Wasserman clearly would love to continue to work with PRs, I wonder if the Hasbro era might give him the chance again, everyone in the fandom loves him.

It was too bad he and Disney had problems but I never understood why Neo Saban did not use him and instead just recycled bad versions of his original song for the first four years or more of the show.

Well he did destroy the Thunderzords. I was still mad that he was able to place the Orb of Doom at the right spot. I still wasn't expecting that, and I was thinking that he'll screw it up for sure. Way to screw up Kat's first birthday in America.

I'm still not sure how Rito could drop the Zeo Crystal when it was in his hands when he teleported out with it. He and Goldar would have teleported from the Command Center to Zedd's place with the Zeo Crystal in hand, and instead they end up in a neighborhood. I had this thought that perhaps the fact that they were on Earth when it was being brought back to the proper present might have screwed them up somehow. Anyway, I figured that the Zeo Crystal would somehow be the thing that somehow sets things right after the rangers reverted to kids.

As for the Japanese counterpart, Kakuranger, yes Gashadokuro (Rito Revolto) did die before Daimaou (Master Vile) took over.

I think the rangers were supposed to be 10 in the Alien Rangers saga.

He was on the convention scene just over a year ago. What is his medical condition exactly and is there any hope of improvement?

Best guess as far as thezeo crystal is concerned, "screw it, its a kids show and we are working with foreign footage to make it work". I still think zapping the life force of living beings reverting them to childhood makes the most sense in the given situation, but the above quote may as well apply to that as well.

Read my first Boom PRs comic, it was the Shattered Grid FCBD issue, man it reeks of "mature" fanfic. I still think Lord Drakkon is cool and want him to show up in the show one day but don't get the praise of those comics.

A steelbook release of MMPR season 3 will be released on August 13, and will include the Alien Rangers disc.
