Seriously, how does a series that loses its original showrunner and two writers managed to land on its feet this well? I swear, Power Rangers has some sort of weird curse on it that simultaneously fills it with strife and problems, and yet always keeps the right people on it to push through those issues and make something wonderful out of it. It really is kind of admirable that this franchise just keeps on going despite having pretty much everything working against it.

So turns out Vengix is essentially the robotic genocidal lovechild of Ultron and Thanos. Neat.

RPM was PEAK Power Rangers. Great writing, great acting, great character for every ranger (especially Ziggy, Dillon and even Dr K), great humour, highest stakes, and a menacing villain that actually brought humanity to the brink of extinction. It was so dark and intense for Power Rangers and I loved it

I think RPM is kinda the Deep Space Nine of Power Rangers. Serious premise, the characters mostly staying in one place, characters with a lot of personal baggage but also a lot of quirks. Compelling serious stories AND fun comedy. Oh also a focus on war

10:22 to 12:30 Let's See how far we come is the best tribute song for RPM as well as possible ending for The Power Rangers Franchise

RPM is a pretty interesting season to me because both production and the show itself was facing an apocalypse, as Linkara said at the start, the higher ups didn't care, the show had to adapt a light hearted sentai into a gritty PR, the show runner, who had never worked on PR before, was fired half way and another show runner was trying to complete someone else's vision on it and that's only the beginning of challenges they faced, and like our multi-colored heroes in nano fiber they had won the fight in the end, and that is something to remember.

I can't blame Lynn for recycling the astronoma stuff with Dillon and Tanaya. Guzelian was let go out of nowhere and for basically no reason, and he didn't leave behind any notes, AND he took the other two head writers with him. Dude had to get shit on track ASAP, and if that means recycling a plot point from 20 years ago, fine

RPM is my absolute favorite Power Rangers season. Sure, it has flaws, but it demonstrates that, not only an idea can work even when the odds are stacked against it, but that Power Rangers can also be very mature, and still be cheesy at the same time, and that's a very important truth that people sadly often tend to forget.

10:21 A perfect way to end the series is with "Lets see how far we've come"

*sees light blinking on morpher* man I sure hope nobody messes with that thing by, say, mixing it with snake DNA.

What I LOVE about this season is the black ranger is the main character as in the one that’s focused on the most It’s not common that happens in power rangers

"I bet they get married. In real life. Which they did." Well that didn't age well

I think what could've been funny was if before reviving Gem and Gemma in their Zords was if Venjix said, "I shall destroy you, your city, and your spandex" then Dr K said, "FOR THE LAST TIME, IT IS NOT SPANDEX" then presses the button.

Except we now know that *Venjix* went on to become *Evox* in _'Power Rangers: Beast Morphers',_ so we DO get resolution after all! 😃🥳

I have to say RPM is probably my favorite season for three reasons. 1:It starts with THE END OF THE WORLD, a lot of others seasons have that AT risk in the season finale but never something you saw in the first episode is all i'm saying. 2:Characters:They're AWESOME, I can even say something about Crunch, he act a little nuts and comedic at times but can work, to quote Scrooge of 2017 Ducktales "You were prepared for our best, but not for our dumbest" He made an attack bot that used balloons as a toxic weapon, it didn't work but that kinda off the wall thinking like that can work, have something that the enemy wouldn't expect, plus balloons worked in ninja storm so there's that to back up his skill. The rangers are all top ten rangers, literally, and Ziggy is thought to be 2nd in green to TOMMY OLIVER for some people, that says something.Doctor K is arguably the best mentor ever, and for good reason, she develops right along side the rangers through the season and has the most development of any mentor. 3:Believe it or not it's from go-onger.I actually like the zord and suit designs, what I'm a big animal person, the zords have an interesting combining mechanism and the suits don't convey racing to me but rather machines, fast and efficient, even the cuffs have a use.They have some good detail to from the helmet to straps to said cuffs and I really like the individual number on the chest.

I love how in the last series that are trying to convince a robot that he is alive and they basically say definitively at the end and yes he has a heart and he is alive. while in this she's degrading the AI because he's just a stream of electrons going through copper wires and so on.

Holy shit. Ziggy is just Caboose from RvB. Look at that helmet.

11 years later we get resolution in beast Morphers.

About that Power/rangers video, I backed out when Jason was killed, he was shot from all sides and his new wife got covered in his blood, that's all kinds of messed up.There is a balance between dark and light hearted, and I think RPM is the best example of that balance for Power Rangers.

0:57 my exact reaction and advice to Dillion! 3:15 OH MY GOD THAT’S LEMONADE!😂 8:41 the three rangers standing tall without their powers against Venjix’s ultimate body still gives me goosebumps 10:03 “look up Venjix! We got a present for ya!” 15:01 I’m still here! I’ll be ba…hey it’s really dark in here! Oh well, I’m sure I won’t be on the shelf for long…like 14 years, but that’ll never happen!

It's true. in physics we learn that matter and energy isn't created or destroyed. It only changes into something else

Every time the chorus plays during the montage, the MM team is shown, then the RPM team. Nice touch

I just realized why I like ziggy so much he’s a much better version of dax

RPM is one of my all time favorite Power Rangers series ever along with Power Rangers in Space, Time Force and Dino Thunder.

Honestly, I almost kinda thought that Ziggy and Dylan where gonna get together at the end. Yea, I know that Disney probably wouldn't go that direction, but they just have really fun chemistry. Also, loved Dr. K Both the character and the episode.

Whenever I see the metal hand I instantly think of Dylan as a brooding Luke skywalker

Maturity is not the absence of sugar, cartoons, and make-believe. It's the absence of hatred, loneliness, and the exclusion of others.

Love RPM. I squee'd when I found out that Dr. K will return in the next season of Beast Morphers.

@15:01-15:32 Until in 2019 when Hasbro bought Power Rangers, Judd "Chip" Lynn was allowed to finish where he left off at the end of Power Rangers RPM in a new series, Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

One thing I have to ask. Even if Disney decided to renew the series, what could've been done with that sequel hook at the time? The next series was samurai-based, so the only logical option would've been to have Venjix be the villain of the crossover.

15:20 well that aged well

Is it weird I get butterflies in my stomach when let’s see how far we come starts playing

15:31 unresolved.......until now with beast morphers

Coming back after beast morphers I'm glad that we got a resolution of the venjix storyline

15:32 until Judd Lynn got to come back and finish what he started 😏

I'm always astounded how this series apparently keeps going over budget. Do you know what Power Rangers is worth? 16.8 BILLION DOLLARS. I'll repeat that. SIXTEEN BILLION. EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION. DOLLARS. Retail sales alone account for 16.5 billion. It is the 27th most successful media franchise of all time. Lifted directly from Wikipedia, here's a bunch of franchises Power Rangers makes more money than: The Simpsons, The Avengers (not the MCU, but the comic book series), Looney Tunes, Spongebob, the entire life cycle of the Nintendo Wii, Final Fantasy, Superman, Star Trek, League of Legends, and the ENTIRE DC Extended Universe. Hey, Disney? Or Saban? Or Hasbro? Or whomever owns this series? THROW SOME GODDAMN MONEY AT YOUR SHOW. YOU MAKE SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS OFF OF THE TOYS. GIVE THEM SOME MORE MONEY FOR FUCKS SAKE.

I was surprised that they were able to make a good series considering how wacky the sentai was. It had talking cars from another dimension.

15:00: Me: Well, see you in 11 years, Venjix.. As a snake.. With a different voice.. Sort of....

The 2017 PR movie is indeed superior to "Power / Rangers" because, while more mature, it didn't lose the heart of the franchise. Also, "Zordon of Eltar" & "Teens with Attitude" are fan films, 'cause where "Power / Rangers" zigged wrong, "Zordon of Eltar" & "Teens with Attitude" zagged right, in every sense of the words.

Part of me feel that RPM comes off as an ABC show, Freeform Show or Fox Show similar to that of Lost, Once Upon a Time, Cloak and Dagger, Shadow Hunters and a few others due to its teen drama esc tone and cinematography. Maybe both Samurai, Megaforce, Dino Charge, Ninja Steel, Dino Fury and Cosmic Fury would have been either different or better if it was able to stay on the ABC. If not, I’m sure that these shows would have been on the CW just like Karen Rider Dragon Knight was back in 2009.

Oh my God! THAT'S LEMONADE!!! Lmao hahahahahaaa

17:45 I think it's because since Dr. K infiltrated the program to revive Gem and Gemma, that meant that Venjix couldn't take back the program and was practically stuck in that form until he gets destroyed.

3:15 OH MY GOD THATS LEMONADE!!!

WHY DID YOU MIX RPM TECH AND SNAKE DNA NATE? WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

RPM's storyline would be continued in the sequel season Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

Eddie said his finale was going to be called Ranger Black and have Dillon be activated like everyone else and the rangers would end up having to put him down. But for Chip to look at Eddie's notes, that might have resulted in a WGA grievance from the latter or worse.

If Venjix managed to break into the Grid before being destroyed it makes a lot of sense how he managed to escape through it and successfully duplicate/corrupt rangers. The show went through so much budget the planned Paleomax Rangers couldn't be made any more than toys, not even Crimson to serve as sole operator of the train.

May I just say that Venjix’s defeat in RPM is criminally underrated. They’re only able to defeat him by crushing him under a building, burying him beneath hundreds of kilograms of metal, plaster and concrete!!! AND IT DOESN’T ACTUALLY KILL HIM!!!!! That shows how powerful Venjix is. His body may be destroyed, but Venjix himself cannot be killed so easily.

oh and venjix put gem and gemma in the recycle bin

Linkara's speech about why he didn't like that accursed Power/Rangers fan film and why RPM is far more mature is basically more relevant than ever in the Sub-Decade of hell that is the late-2010s to early-2020s: Remember Castlevania the series? Kurtzman's Star Trek shows? any Nonceflix adaptation of a beloved Japanese property (I.E. Cowboy Bebop 2021 and Wingard's Death Note)? The newly released Bel-Air? These things had one thing in common: They were made by people who either didn't care anymore or didn't care period. Most of these Bad Reboots often tried to "fix the material" in different ways for different purposes, be it by making the Federation of Planets into a dystopian totalitarian government or derailing the character of Faye Valentine into an annoying, f-bomb dropping loudmouthed cunt. These were often done because the people behind it just didn't care or outright DESPISED the source material they were working on. They often decide to do away with what made a property so beloved and iconic in favour of pursuing a new audience who is much like the creators themselves: Viewers who despise what made certain franchises so good. And thankfully, unlike Power/Rangers, audiences are sticking two middle fingers straight up at these clowns.

The shakycam was even explained glowingly in And Action.

If this was an anniversary season it would make a lot more sense for tenaya to be Dillons sister because it would pay homage to in space, because the would be similar to astronoma being reveled to be androids sister and sorry if I’m spelling their names wrong

And then vengix returns in beast morphers

They could have made a connection with the machine empire 🤷‍♂️

The new Hyperdimension Neptunia Game Sister VS Sister has the same theme. The world is fucked, the main karakters home destroyed, her sister is missing and the other 3 nations are on the cusp of falling apart, Lastation being so bad its leader is overworked too the point she isnt even capable of showing joy of her sister, who has bein missing fore 2 years, returning because shes just THAT focoused on work. Howewer despite this dark theme the game keeps it light heartet and more humorous unless neceserry. The game isnt dark and gloomy but about finding hope and humor in a dark situation.

Love your channel name..."SilverAsh". Very cool😎

Am I the only one here who has a feeling that this show might not work well as a full-length film adaptation in the near-future?

The power rangers short film is so fucking good omg... the tallent

RPM was the best.

I agree with most of what he said about rpm the season its self did not use a lot Sentai footage can I think that was very interesting but they only the sentai footage of the zord battles only but still rpm was somewhat of a good season and I can't wait in the summer when he thinks about Power Rangers Samurai l finally know why Saban got the rights to Power Rangers again and why he went to air it on Nickelodeon

Actually I have an idea on why the robots have personalities Maybe vengeance wanted to have robots personalities to like better understand humans so we can couple with better plans and utilize against humans By making robots that have enough emotions and can articulate set emotions so that the unit can come up with plans that things that can use creative engineering against humanity, Like maybe hes smart enough to realize that's usually what he meant he has a leg up on machinery so a compensates by having machines that have an articulate emotion so they can come up with those plans to begin with, sorry this rambly, I'm using a text to speech on this

Of course you need levity in a situation like this, they had to make an artificial sky just so people could live within the city. They NEEDED humor to survive. Heck Id love to hear of a sequal series dealing with all the other people the AI enslaved around the world. You can't convince me that it only had 1 human concentration camp.

Venjex should have been the villain of the 20th anniversary.

Can't wait for samurai

My problem with RPM was the use of Go-onger footage, especially the zord battles. It just didn't mesh well with the overall story. Don't get me wrong, I love mecha fights, especially with EngineOh G-12/RPM Ultrazord, but you're watching the episode, at some points it gets real dark, then to fill in the last few minutes, they had to tack on a megazord battle. It's like, was it really necessary? Sure there are some exceptions that zord footage that worked with the story, such as Gem and Gemma using their zords against the tower, or Jumbowhale being used as a doomsday weapon, but outside of that, I'd say this is the one series that could have done without the megazord battles.

If the RPM Morphers are DNA-locked to the operator, why does she make everyone hand them back in at the end? No one else can use them, and Power Rangers could come in handy rebuilding the world

i think the reason the helmets vanish was a way to conserve energy to the suits,

The next season Samurai aka the first Nick season also has a very dark moment.

For some reason the way Dylan looks reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger from the first Terminator movie.

Ironic that Summer Landsdown, with an undoubtedly long and "important" lineage...ends up in a relationship with Dillon, who has NO idea of his family besides Tenaya.

I like rpm very much

First time I’ve heard Linkara say the f word

Well Beast Morphers is a sequel to RPM so...

As you might have noticed , some parts were removed due to copyright strikes , WELL , technically they're still up but just not visible without direct links and they are blocked in some countries (Which , i have no clue , so uhhh , best of luck to ya ) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtSKmtN_vZuyfWw.html RPM {1}

Okay just saying in my own opinion Power Rangers RPM has a lot of references two of them to other seasons of Power Rangers and one to Marvel one of the first two references is Dylan being a cyborg almost similar to Mack being an android from Operation Overdrive and the second of the first two references is that nearly all of the plot of Dylan losing his sister at a young age and finding out she's one of the main generals is definitely based of the whole Andros/Karone (Astronema) thing from In Space while the second and final overall reference is that Venjix is mostly based off of Ultron from Marvel being a computer program for artificial intelligence in the movie and comic books overall while technically a computer virus to allow Dr. K to escape in Venjix's case if you wanted to know but both are almost similar Ultron wants to annihilate every single organic living being in all of existence and creation to replace them with android civilizations which he will rule above all of them while Venjix just wants to conquer the whole entire planet and rule above a civilization of cyborgs and androids but yeah all of these are just in my own opinion only.

I think jem and jemma were actually became more enlightend to the morphing grid think about it jemma in ninja steel was less how she was in rpm which makes me think they became more enlightened by the morphing grid

15:23 this age good

I’m wondering why did venjix go into the red ranger morpher why didn’t he go into the palace in his tube

Love the song at the end.

can we all admit shifter kinda looks and totally looks like chubo from ninja storm???

Watching this again I'm curious what would happen if Venjix and Lord Zedd meet. Venjix did what Zedd couldn't in the original series. He won and ruled the world.

Maybe Max should be in rpm and they found out that he still has robot parts and Vengeix takes him over but the rangers saves him

One I wish Dillon was the red ranger, and his sister would be a ranger not let her sister go evil again. Think back to mighty morphin power rangers there was a kid named Dillon with blond hair just like Dillons old hair, I think 🤔. I know that they Dillon thinks that is not his real name but it could be. And maybe Jim and Jimma became a spirt of the morphin grid

Please saban,make PR:beast morphers a sequel of RPM

Just a friendly reminder History of Power Rangers Samurai will be release August 13th.

And after this we will take several steps back

15:27 Until now that is...

We would have to wait tell beastmorphers before we get the resolution on the red ranger morpher housing the bad guy.

Ziggy & Dr. K getting is married is just like the red and yellow rangers from Jungle Fury are dating

Gem and Gemma: *dying* Me, suddenly become Dr. K: **"GEM! GEMMA! NO!"**

I hope that we eventually get the script for “ranger black“ if it ever got to the script stage.

The main baddy sounds like the borg

Venjix is back in beast morphers be warned.

WAIT THE ZIGGY AND DR.K ACTORS GOT MARRIED IRL HOLY SHIT THE SHIPING IS REAL.

That ending montage is nowhere NEAR as good as the one in the HOPR In Space video.

Ziggy's overall demeanor reminds me of Jaune from RWBY.

I think people just didn't like the theme music.

This song is gonna look so awkward when we cover Beast Morphers. Just sayin'! xD

Venjix = Evil Zordon...

RPM ALSO PREDICTED THE CORONAVIRUS!
