In the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the episodes were only 20 minutes, which meant, put bluntly, character work was pretty thin on the ground. The books still have fun, the soul of the show and all the characters you know and love, but with more room for character development and the ability for a larger scope. Hell, it’s even managed some pretty great plotlines the “Green with Evil” serial is a classic and with good reason it’s still watchable even now.īOOM Studios! Power Rangers titles have managed to show love to the 1993 Saban show whilst improving on it immensely.
All of this should add up to a complete mess, and yet Power Rangers has always managed to have heart. You also end up with strange plots, sometimes awful dubbing and characters turning up in episodes whenever the recycled fight footage needs them to. The main villain of the early seasons, Rita Repulsa, was actually singing in the original footage– hence her awful lip syncing.
These include the fact that the original yellow ranger was played by a woman (Thuy Trang) in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but when morphed the footage, from Zyuranger, was a male ranger. This causes the show to have a unique feel and you also end up with well-documented inconsistencies. The show uses repurposed footage from Japan’s Super Sentai series, spliced with new original footage. The same tropes recur constantly with the monsters growing big and the rangers have to fight them in big robot things that are controlled with team power. Power Rangers’ basic premise of weirdo teens gain superpowers and fight evil space monsters is almost timeless.

The brand just had a semi-successful reboot movie and huge amounts of traction were gained from their game Legacy Wars and a near Internet breaking twitch stream. Power Rangers has been having something of resurgence of late, and in our big superhero movie world they fit in rather nicely.
