Power Rangers

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

So I’ve decided to give Power Rangers a go. For nostalgic reasons I’m obviously starting with the first series. Never seen the entire thing so I’m looking forward to it.

I’m also interested in Power Rangers In Space, Galaxy Lost, and the series featuring Rose McIver.

^ I would advise that you not expect very much of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season 1 because absent the veil of nostalgia, it is not very good and does not hold up (and I say this as someone who watched it as it aired).

In fact, I personally would not even bother with it and would instead focus on the "Post-Zordon" seasons beginning with Power Rangers Time Force (Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy would normally get a recommendation from me, but they rely too heavily on the earlier and now-inferior seasons of the franchise).

I was wondering how this show would have turned out if the two comic relief kids, Bulk and Skull, had been selected as Power Rangers in the pilot, instead of the 5 kids we got?

I’m 10 episodes in with season one and while it is formulaic, I’m really enjoying it. Kimberly is still my fav!

Would you still love her so much if Kimberly was the Brown Power Ranger?

I think that there are rules that Zordon and Rita adreed to, rules of engagement, which is why Rita doesn't attack the power rangers while the are sleeping, in their beds at night, and Zordon doesn't nuke the moon.

There's already a thread for discussing Power Rangers and tokusatsu:

Oh. I didn’t bother looking. Good to know.
