That's just depressing. Especially considering how popular he was and still is. Jason brought that up too when doing Dino Thunder, along with James who played Connor.

Wow that’s depressing, it shows they did it out of love

I thank Saban for their role in PR, but hate how they paid their actors. They deserved better for our childhood

Totally agree it is terrible. Was gutted when they left, but can't blame them.

🤣🤣🤣 heroes🤣🤣🤣

Facts

@@carlosT3000 Just goes to show... our beloved super heroes can never really die... only actors who play them.

Thuy is still alive in spirit. Angela Rockwood was her best friend.

Well said as a mid-80s baby this is very true. We were already prepped with TMNT etc. Not to mention the movies that came on around that time karate kid 1 and 2 three ninjas movies surf ninjas etc so we were already used to seeing kids and teenagers in martial arts movies/shows. Power rangers had impeccable time and I must say cuz we hopped on that real quick.

Honestly.... When I first saw the coming attraction for the show I yelled oout to my mother "There's a Live action Voltron coming to tv!!!" so YEP!!! at least as far as this Gen Xer goes

This show was filmed under real life graphics which is another reason why it became a popular superhero tv show. 👍

For me it was Thuy Trang …may she R.I.P

Every boy our age at the time was in love with Amy Jo.

Amy is still Beautiful

Riley kazama. Yes indeed. She looks gorgeous. Imagine her and Walter turning 55 within the next three years considering how fast time is going.

@@danielhetue6968 she is very gorgeous

🤘

the blue ray season 1,2,3 is worth to order & the 4th season on dvd - Season 1,2,3,4 is called the "Zordon Era" my personal alltime favorite ones

Well the Boom Studios comic books have been the best PR content in a long time. Maybe ever. And that's original content and many original characters. Drakkon, Ranger Slayer Omega Rangers and so on

@@the6thranger true but sadly the show and its creators are not very good at following source materials. The "legacy war" could have been something amazing on the level of "countdown to destruction" but the writers did not know how to deliver. The sentai version did it perfectly.

@@the6thranger Even the Boom comics has its issues. When written around the main storyline they do very well. When they try to go full on original like Beyond The Grid it got terrible.

We all were that's why were watching this

I got to meet him at a Comic Con several years ago. Nice guy.

This 100% the first season is legit lightning in a bottle it really is its own thing.

I agree with most of your points. I'd also like to think that they still could've done the Katherine arc, except instead of having it end with Kimberly going off to the Pan Global Games, Kat ends up getting it for her Diving Skills after being encourage by Kimberly to get back into it. As for the transition to Zeo, I agree that they likely would've just ended the "Mighty Morphin'" storyline and assuming they came back for a Season 4 (Zeo) the show would've gone in a different with a new cast of Rangers since Zeo's Sentai counterpart Ohranger was drastically different in style, tone and aesthetics from the Fantasy Trilogy of Zyuranger, Dairanger, and Kauranger. Also, there likely would've been no Alien Ranger saga, which also means no Battleborgs. As for how the series ends, it would end in a similar way Zyuranger and Kakuranger both did, with the rangers succeeding in resealing the villains back in Rita's dumpster and drifting it back into the recesses of space with the lot swearing revenge, using their power coins as reinforcements, thereby sacrificing their powers. What's even worse is that Goldar and Rito realized too late that they dropped the Zeo Crystal which was stored in the basement for safekeeping from Master Vile instead of being sent through a Time Hole. But they promptly forget about it when Rita gives birth to Zedd's baby and start dotting on it. Despite this, the villains would still manage to plant a bomb underneath the Command Center and blow it up before the rangers can back to stop it, with Zordon delivering a farewell message of gratitude to the rangers with the Command Center blowing up just as the rangers reach it. After failing to find any traces of Alpha or Zordon in the wreckage, they make a makeshift grave for their mentors and no one last (albeit somber) "Power Rangers" fist-bump high-five declaration. After that, the Rangers attend their High School Graduation Ceremony and go their separate ways. Kimberly goes off to Paris to be with her mom and step-father, Trini goes studies to be a veterinarian, Billy enrolls in MIT, Zack heads west to make it big in Hollywood, Jason enrolls in the military and Tommy . . . has no idea what the heck he wants to do. But the very last shot we see of the very last episode is of the wreckage of the Command Center. However, the Zeo Crystal rises from the ground and causes the outer shell of the building to miraculously reassemble itself implying that maybe Zordon and Alpha are still alive, which also implies that maybe . . . just maybe . . . the Power Rangers will one day rise again to take on a new threat. Going into "Power Rangers: Zeo", Tommy and Katherine are now attending Angel Grove University and make new friends with their respective roommates, Adam, Rocky and Aisha (or Tanya if you prefer) just as the city is once again threatened by evil space aliens . . . the Machine Empire. In an echo to the premiere of "Mighty Morphin'", Zordon and Alpha teleport the Five College Kids with Attitude to the newly constructed Power Chamber to become the Zeo Rangers to fight this new threat. The rest of the season would mostly play out the same way as it originally did, except without Billy as the tech support and without Jason becoming the Gold Ranger. I believe the originally plan for the character was to have him be played by Brad Hawkins, star of the recently cancelled "VR Troopers". And for the two-parter that ultized the footage of the "Ohranger vs. Kakuranger" team-up, it would involve the original cast coming back again to reclaim temporarily repaired versions of their powers in celebration of the franchise's overall 199th and 200th episodes. As for what I'd replace the Zedd & Rita's Camper of Evil subplot with . . . I'm not sure. Probably something to introduce Divatox and her pirate crew for the fifth season, which would instead be a Second Season for Zeo since "Ohranger and Carranger" both have the same color scheme for the team, their weapons and their zords. I don't know if that's too much but I've thought about this myself. You think any of these ideas have any validity?

@@landonsantini365 well, your ending for the mighty morphing saga was pretty much what I’d imagine. As for the rest, it’s hard to imagine anything different from what we got but your ideas are legit. Like I said, i wish the original six stayed for the entire series, but I’m still happy with what we got, I still enjoy the series to this day, and the boom comic run is for fans like you and me, so it all works out in the end!

Nobody really liked Rocky or Aisha. They weren't bad but they didn't have the same energy as Jason and Trini. Adam is the only MMPR to really surpass the original.

@@charaznable9209 I liked them fine. The problem was Saban and the writers didn’t give the characters much in terms of personality and character development because there was always a chance that they’d leave. The idea behind Power Rangers in the first place was anyone could be in those suits. It’s sad really because it was the original cast that gave the show so much life and Saban didn’t really see that, all he cared about were the numbers they were bringing in.

@@angel_in-black I Heard The Same Thing That Austin St.John And Jason David Frank Didnt Get Along

💯💯

Totally agree!!

I honestly miss when it was just the MMPR (and this is coming from a 2000s kid) because back then the Power Rangers were one of a kind, they were special. They don't feel special or unique anymore. They just feel like a bunch of faces in a crowd, and now the Power Rangers brand has been watered down so much many people don't seem to care about it anymore.

@@sodium285 I totally agree

@@jomo8825 thanks 😊. Contrary to some fans I am not tired of MMPR at all and I so happy that thanks to Boom Studios this generation of comic book fans are being exposed to MMPR as every generation deserves to be.

@@sodium285 I hope it don’t stop but do feel they need to put some more stuff out for the other fans

My pleasure ⚡

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, at the time it was called Cybertron. Of course the name had to be changed for obvious reasons. 🤣 Here's the pilot reel for it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ht5lZaSc1svQdZ8.html Brad Hawkins, who played Ryan Steele in VR Troopers (also voiced Zeo Gold), was going to be the white ranger. The popularity of Tommy was just so high.

they keep throwing out tidbits about the Legend of the White Dragon. really hope they finish it

As someone who grew up in the Disney era (I wasn't born when the early seasons aired), I met Tommy through Dino Thunder, so I don't have a strong personal attachment to the character, and therefore my opinion may be extremely biased. But I've honestly never understood what made him so special either. I've rewatched most of the series lately and, while it's remarkable how much he's been through over the course of his career, I never saw much complexity to the character after his introductory arc. If I had to guess, I'd say people have him in such a high regard mostly because of their memories growing up with him for years due to his long-running stay in the show, and the milestones he broke, more so than because of the character himself. What I mean is that they talk more about the experiences he lived through (such as being the first 6th Ranger, the first evil Ranger, the first team leader that wasn't a Red Ranger, being part of the first romantic couple, etc.), more than they talk about him as a character. Don't get me wrong, his long journey is remarkable, but I think you could've given that arc to any other character and it would've made the same impact. And his personality and qualities don't really stand out to me that much when most other Rangers share them too.

@@CouncilCape897 Thank you for that astute analysis. It is good to get the perspective of someone who is likely younger than me. I guess for me I will never 100% know what makes Tommy so special, but you nailed most of the important points. I want to say again I love Tommy, he is my all time favorite, if I ever met JDF I would go from 36 to 6 years old in a moment, and after all these years, I still love the Power Rangers. To me there was something almost magical about it and I can even watch it today and love it. I would love to go to a a Power Ranger convention and meet my childhood heros. I may or may not still have a The Green Ranger action figure.

@@DominickSpano Oh, I get what you mean about that magic you feel when revisiting those heroes we looked up to and taught us simple but important lessons and values. While it's important to grow up, we should never forget those who lead us on the path to where we are now. And I apologize if I seemed too harsh on Tommy. Like I said, I didn't grow up with him like the 90's kids did, so I don't have a strong attachment to him. By the time I started watching Power Rangers, the show had long stopped using the ongoing style of narrative following a specific group of characters over the course of multiple seasons, in favor of a standalone narrative starring a different cast in each season. So I had many different role models rather than a particular one, like the 90's kids had found in Tommy. And since Power Rangers isn't exactly known for having the most complex protagonists, it's hard for me to find a particular Ranger who stands out from the others since they have so many traits in common. But I understand what Tommy means to so many people and I'd love to meet JDF too.

Council pretty much summed it up, but I'd say that he was able to wipe the floor with them and even invade them in the megazord just emphasized how powerful he was. Then not only to join them and later become a great leader like Jason speaks for itself. Not to mention he stayed a ranger until Turbo and later Dino Thunder.

@@CouncilCape897 I totally get it. Seems you hold the Power Rangers close in your heart. I mean if I was lets say 5 years older or younger I would likely not feel this way. For a particular group of people, the Power Rangers are special. I also love Toy Story, but the original came out when I was about 10. A person who is much young than me may not have such an emotional attachment with it. BTW you mentioned growing up. Lol. I am writing an intense doctoral disserstion as we speak, but in my heart, I am still that 6 year old boy who loved Tommy, Jason, Kimberly, and all the rest of the Power Rangers..Lol. I also loved Hercules and Xena. There really is something magical about out childhood heros.

Thank you! 😁

Me too. Heck I'd say the MMPR are up there with the Ninja Turtles, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men as one of my favourite Superhero teams.

Thats What I Heard To Jason Left Because Him And Tommy Couldnt Get Along

@@dennisedlin9965 actually it was more about a pay despite.

...an actually insane statement

Now it's shoved down your throat to the point it's cringe

@@Farmer816. ikr, the cult of identity politics has overtaken good story writing, and that’s putting it mildly

I concur. They did it before it was cool. Better than being cool, it was implicit.

The diversity and inclusion in MMPR was amazing and natural. If only wokefied people would take a page from this.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not...
