I was in 5th grade when it came out and initially enjoyed it but I started to notice the chessiness and lost interest. So fast forward about twenty years later and I was blown away how many different series this show has after stumbling into a watchmojo video on YouTube of the top ten PR series.
pretty much this

This guy sure does
I'm still amazed this guy made it onto a kids' show and I'm still salty that they made a goober out of him to soften his image.
Not really i watched it with my little brother when i was in my teens. Because she became my first tv crush.

Nope.
Mine was Trini, the yellow ranger. Mad crushed on her as a kid. The start or me being into Asian chicks.
Rip.
And lord z is a bad ass character for a kids show. He's so well designed he could slot into any kind of overlord character slot in any game.
I respectfully disagree.
Yes

Fucking loved the Quantum Ranger and the Quantumsaurus. I had this gigantic remote controlled Quantumsaurus that could morph automatically and fire missiles and shit. The remote was the morpher that the Quantum Ranger used.
I loved Power Rangers as a kid.
Then I got a little older and decided I hated Power Rangers because it was stupid baby shit and I was a mature 10-year-old.
Then as I got older I decided I was pretty much completely indifferent to Power Rangers outside of some nostalgia for the first few seasons and being impressed that the show is still running and still popular with the kids.

It's basically the B-movie version of a kid's show. As someone with a passing fondness for the badness and cheese of B-movies, I don't hate Power Rangers, no. Kids deserve to experience the joy of cheese too.
Right now yeah I can't stand the sight of them but as a kid Power Rangers ruled my world.
So jealous of the Shogun Megazord. Always thought it was one of the cooler designs. Seeing this though reminded me of how much a downgrade Tor was in comparison to Titanus. And that robot mode, lol.

Starting with Lost Galaxy, every season is more or less standalone with every season being a soft rebbot of sorts. They reference each other and take place in the same universe (aside from one that explicitly was an alternate universe because reconciling its plot with later seasons wouldn't work that well), but past teams tend to not appear outside of once per season team-up episodes.
Though, if you're curious about Tommy in particular, he's gone halfway though Turbo, and his only other extended appearance is in Dino Thunder where he is the mentor figure.

Different seasons emphasize the shared universe aspect at different levels, though all of them after Lost Galaxy show an odd lack of awareness of previous seasons until they actually cross over. The one that was worst about this was Super Megaforce, a season where the rangers can straight up transform into previous rangers yet they somehow completely screwed up the nostalgia theme. That was the best place to include callbacks, and they just didn't. One of the most egregious examples was that there was a Sentai episode involving a villain from a previous series returning, who was established as still being alive in the Power Rangers equivalent, and the heroes fought him solely using forms that appeared in Power Rangers, and they chose not to adapt that episode.
Just to reiterate, you had to be a kid and in the 90's to appreciate it. As a kid you can overlook things and often you don't see the cheese( and by kid I mean 7-8. Not 12)
Like power rangers in Psace to a kid looked amazing. They had cool space suits, cool ship etc. it looks like cheap sci go now but for power rangers, that was a first. Leaving earth and the normal format

Watch some RPM on Netflix & then try telling me it sucks.
RPM has a cool story, but the production looked like it was made with cardboard and tape.
If cheapness is his issue with the show, RPM is the epitome of it outside the original show.
It's the same universe, except for Power Rangers RPM which is confirmed to take place in an alternate universe.
