This is ridiculous. I'm watching these episodes back-to-back, and sometimes I'm not sure if I'm watching a repeat.

 

[F0rneus]

That blue face dude in the sky is totally the main villain of the original show ain't he?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah, and that's the real tragedy. The second In Space is over, viewership will drop by half. Time Force will never get its day in the sun...

and RPM once more never appreciated

And hell I feel like viewership will drop right after MMPR

man I have such a newfound respect for power rangers now with watching this. As someone who hasn't really thought about this shit since I saw it when I was crazy young, this is kind of mindblowing to me:

does literally anything else do this?

im probably going to see the movie now

Beetleborgs, Masked Rider, VR Troopers for MMPR's contemporaries under Saban's name

then you got Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad and Ultraman Tiga for non-Saban stuff, and even non-Toei.

and more recently Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

actually looking back, there have been other Ultraman stuff that aired in US

 

[BossRush]

I like how you can feel the actors getting better and more comfortable with their role as the episodes go on.

Except for Billy.

gridman > superhuman samurai syber squad did something similar but had a much shorter run

also most or all the stock footage they used were battles inside the computer, so there was no random Tokyo Towers in the background of angel grove level weirdness

His name is GREAT SATAN

 

[broncobuster]

Being the Foley guy on this must've been fun.

 

[jwk94]

Tommy arrives just in time to save the day.

and RPM once more never appreciated

Yo, timeout. Is that Dan in your avatar? lmao

 

[F0rneus]

Awww sheeeit. TOMMY!

His name is GREAT SATAN

That fits haha. The show totally tries to edit it like Rita summons him, and he's a minion and shit, but it's super clear from the footage that he's some sort of allmighty evil force that gets shit done when his minion is failing.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Tommy!!!!

 

[Nudull]

His name is GREAT SATAN

Huh, wonder why Saban didn't go with that guy....

 

[aly]

Zach is a real bro. Took extra time with Tommy.

 

[KSweeley]

Tommy still wearing green.

 

[InStrangerAeons]

Yeah, and that's the real tragedy. The second In Space is over, viewership will drop by half. Time Force will never get its day in the sun...

I'll come back for Time Force. That was my jam.

 

[Delio]

Yeah i really like that they all did personal handshakes with Tommy.

 

[Dark Orchid]

That blue face dude in the sky is totally the main villain of the original show ain't he?

Yup, he was Great Satan there.

They probably weren't allowed to use this footage of his defeat due to the rating, so they just sort of wrote Lokar out over here.

 

[Kaizer]

Since we're watching MMPR, ya'll might want to check out the Boom comics. They're getting pretty good, I hear. They're debuting the Power Ranger sentries in the next issue:







And then there's this guy

Damn I'm REALLY digging those designs!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I believe Tommy only showed up here because this was supposed to be the Finale/Season Finale of MMPR but it did so well they ordered new episodes.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yo, timeout. Is that Dan in your avatar? lmao

Dangerously yes

Huh, wonder why Saban didn't go with that guy....

apparently originally they plan on ending on him but MMPR was popular so...

 

[F0rneus]

Yup, he was Great Satan there.

They probably weren't allowed to use this footage of his defeat due to the rating, so they just sort of wrote Lokar out over here.

Hot damn that would have been so metal to see.

 

[jwk94]

Huh, I didn't know about this part. I've never actually seen this episode.

"You can't get rid of us!" Sure, Zack, keep saying that.

 

[ReiGun]

Zordon letting them choose to quit right the fuck out of nowhere.

Masked Rider, VR Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs. Basically all the shows Saban was making in the 90's.

More recently, there was Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.

 

[Fancyarcher]

True honor and real courage. Wise words!

 

[oti]

Just woke up. What important plot twists did I miss?

 

[Delio]

That foreshadowing of "You cant get rid of us!"

 

[Phased]

Yeah I'm probably out shortly after MMPR since that's when I was out as a kid. With that said maybe not since I never checked them out and this has been a lot of fun.

 

[Nudull]

Dangerously yes

KAMI DA

 

[A Pretty Panda]

And then Saban went to Japan and said MAKE MORE SHOW

 

[F0rneus]

Goldar still not jobbing. Fights well in the Japanese footage, plus Cyclopsis was one of the cooler villains so far, even thought it's just Goldar in an evil zord.

 

[Kaizer]

That foreshadowing of "You cant get rid of us!"

LMAO

 

[cordy]

That blue face dude in the sky is totally the main villain of the original show ain't he?

Yeah Dai-Satan was the big bad and he gave Rita powers. He was beaten by

in the past but not before breaking it down into 3 smaller pieces (Megazord, Dragonzord and Titanus). He was actually killed by the Ultra Dragonzord in the finale, like his head exploded. He didn't in this though. He just escaped to never be heard from again.

It's weird. That might be THE #1 that annoys me with the MMPR. They just let that dude escape.

 

[jwk94]

Another environment episode....

Dangerously yes

I love you so much.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Zordon letting them choose to quit right the fuck out of nowhere.

Yup. Seems at that point even the actors didn't know there would be more episodes ordered. xD

 

[ZeoVGM]

That episode always felt epic when I was a kid. Reading up on it now, it makes sense. That was the last episode produced and was meant to be the end of the MMPR era. But Fox ordered more episodes and they produced new battle footage for the rest of the season and season 2.

 

[broncobuster]

They're growing weed.

 

[.JayZii]

Trini saying "'Til the end!" made me sad.

 

[jwk94]

Wtf is this music lol

Just woke up. What important plot twists did I miss?

Kimberly suddenly learned how to dress.

Trini saying "'Til the end!" made me sad.

Ah man. =/

 

[robotrock]

Any impressions out there on the Power Rangers movie? Could it be good?

 

[Line_HTX]

Yo, is this Tree of Might?

 

[Trey]

skull sure does spill a lot of stuff on bulk, huh

 

[F0rneus]

It's weird. That might be THE #1 that annoys me with the MMPR. They just let that dude escape.

Doesn't surprise me with that they did with Scorpina.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yo, is this Tree of Might?

Kaio-ken times ten? ;o

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Wtf is this music lol

THE FOOTAGE STREAMS HAVE CROSSED

 

[jwk94]

I think there are some pretty positive ones out there.

 

[.JayZii]

Did Billy just water the tree with coke?

They really gave Rita a girl power song. I had no clue. Thanks lol.

 

[Professor Beef]

I think you mean "prodigious"

 

[Trey]

Zach looks badass in his A Different World sweater
