Seeing as this thread is up again, it seems like a good place for this: Due to a rush of nostalgia from seeing parts of the marathon and seeing the movie, I picked up some DVDs (because I don't do Netflix, and I am aware of the free trial) of a few seasons I hadn't seen before (Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and SPD). I saw parts of Lightspeed and SPD during the marathon and liked what I saw, but completely missed Time Force (but I'm aware that it's supposed to be top-tier).

Any opinions on what order I should watch them in? Airing-order? Worst-to-best?

Random aside, that other Twitch Presents just kind of came and went, eh?

I get all can't be winners, but really needed something big to follow-up Power Rangers with

If you want to do "worst" to best do Godspeed Rescue, S.P.D., then God Force.

Yeah, unfortunately Power Rangers was a perfect storm for this sort of thing. It ran the gamut of quality(which made the communal viewing experience as fun as it was), had action and comedy, at turns it took itself very seriously and then didn't, had a million different characters, a waifu for all seasons, was serialized, and had a heavy dose of nostalgia.

And I think one of the most important aspects was the fact that it was just so long and yet changed frequently enough to keep the staleness at bay. I couldn't imagine tuning into one of these for something that lasts only a handful of hours, the massive amount of hours it was on was what made it an event.

1. SPD - great characters and acting
2. Lightspeed - Great characters, fights, and arsenal
3. Time Force - Just everything. Save the best for last.
 
SYD?

Out of all the Pink Rangers, you want SYD on the list?

Sydney Drew smashes half that list for free.

This is also a list with Rose on it. Can't remember her doing much of nothing in OO other than being eye candy.

And no way Vida > Syd!

Kendrix is megane bae but even I think she's a bit too high when her replacement was one of the best villains in the series and held it down in her place to boot.

Only thing the list got right 1 & 2 because that's factual fact!

How can it be fact when 2 is wrong?

I don't know.

You can't argue Kim at the 2 spot for real. That's legacy status on top of that no Pink Ranger's resume is touching hers and this is a list of best Pinks.

The rest of that list gets a bit weird.

There are some arguments about the rest of that Top 5 & 10 and there's some comp for who belongs there for real.

WatchMojo just did a video on the Top 10 Pink Rangers:
10. Vida (Mystic Force)
9. Kat (MMPR-Turbo)
8. Rose (Operation Overdrive)
7. Dana (Lightspeed Rescue)
6. Karone (Lost Galaxy)
5. Shelby (Dino Charge - Dino Super Charge)
4. Cassie (Turbo - In Space)
3. Kendrix (Lost Galaxy)
2. Kimberly (MMPR)
1. Jen (Time Force)

Don't really have anything to disagree with. Best pink got her rightful spot, so all is good.

Kendrix is cute, but why 3?

What resume? Kim being top 2 is pretty much nostalgia

Great list. By which I mean who gives a fuck about the order, they got #1 right.

Call it nostalgia.

Call it OG status.

Call it whatever you feel like.

I don't see any other Pink making an argument for that spot on Pink Ranger status alone.

Jen is Goddess Status! No arguments! No lies detected!

Streets hollering Karone but as Kendrix's replacement alone is not enough argument. On a different more comprehensive list of PR Ladies this becomes a different argument however.

Speaking of megane bae Kendrix is she's Top 5 all day!

You could try to prop Kat or Cassie in that 2 but they don't cut quite cut it.

No reason to say any other Pink's name because they aint #2 status!

#1 and #2 are correct. Glad they recognized that.

Jen beat Kim? Im shocked considering this list.
 
You jabronis always get my hopes up when I see this thread bumped.

AJJ will forever be my waifu, but Jen is a legit awesome character and definitely deserves to be on top
of me.

Anyways, I need more Dairanger. Who the hell was in charge of the art design for that season? It's top-notch to this day. The suits are all amazing, the megazord is god-tier aesthetically, the Gorma monsters all look phenomenal. That's not even talking about the choreography in fight scenes.

I still lament that we didn't get a suit change for Power Rangers season 2 and that we missed out on 80% of the sentai footage. At least they threw an Easter Egg into their recordings during season 2:

I still think Hasbro would be doing themselves a favor to just have a run of every Transformers cartoon released up to now, as a lead up to Last Knight.

Between G1, the original movie, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, the Unicron line, Animated and Prime, you'd have a lot of content to cover for several days. And that's without tossing in Japan's exclusive stuff that's on DVD!
 
If you're bored Watchmojo has done a ton of Power Rangers top 10. On mobile so I can't look them all up, but the ones I've seen are Pink Rangers (mentioned already), Red Rangers, villains, side villains, series, megazords, teamups, suit designs, episodes, moments, and more I'm probably missing.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe

wait, I don't remember them doing the dairanger stance



A quick update on Zyuranger: 26 episodes in and it's not all that much better than MMPR.

Zyuranger isn't really that special, what people remember from it are Burai and Bandora's gang

Machiko Soga is a miracle in the universe, her roles are always great in toku. RIP oh queen of evil

They invited Ziggy back but he had to say no due to filming conflicts. We almost got Ziggy back! =(

With Ziggy being a no, I'm guessing we're not gonna see any other RPM Rangers. Wait, what are Gem and Gemma doing?

I found the first few episodes of Ninja Steel unbearable, I can't even think of watching an anniversary season with that writing and directing crew.
