UPDATE: Hey everyone, I apologize for my mistake in saying the Phantom Ranger was an american made creation and didn't have a sentai counterpart. When I did my research I saw "VRV Master" and my brain thought it was VR Troopers, so i didn't pursue it past that, my bad!

“We had Dinosaur powers, ninja powers, ancient crystal powers, and now……Jeep.” Dawg that was beyond hilarious.

I actually met Catherine Sutherland this past year at a convention(which by the way she was so nice and sweet) when I asked her about how the change of cast came about and she told me her, Nakia, and Johnny didn’t know they were going to be replaced as they found out from a newspaper article. She was very upset because she felt blindsided and wanted to finish the whole season. She was willing to do the two parter and welcome in the new cast but was mad at everyone in charge. Just wanted to give some insight from what I learned from the pink ranger herself, also great video can’t wait to see more.

The second cast made the season so much better. They all felt like real characters and brought some much-needed fresh air to the franchise. TJ was a kind-hearted and warm leader; Ashley was a sweet and positive girl; Cassie was spunky and wise-cracking, and Carlos was a very cool guy who showed so much character growth from his guest appearance. I didn't mind Justin because I was still a kid when I was watching 'Turbo' and he was relatable. I took a break from the franchise during 'Zeo' and he helped reignite my interest in it.

The Phantom Ranger actually was in Carranger, as VRV Master and pretty much filled the same role as Phantom Ranger at least in terms of giving the team new Zords/Mecha. We did actually learn more about VRV Master compared to the Phantom Ranger since Carranger and Megaranger were separate seasons all the Carranger plot lines actually had resolution and Carranger had a much happier ending than Turbo did

It's certainly a shame the director's cut of the Turbo moive is lost media, they even had a scene where they explained why they needed the Turbo powers.

I got to meet Johnny at a local comic con and asked him about the Turbo season. He said they didn't even tell them they were thinking of replacing them and that some of them learned about it in the newspaper which had a casting call for new rangers and confronted some show runners about it. Guess he wouldn't have minded finishing the series, but sheesh... EDIT: Also the Phantom Ranger does have a sentai counterpart. He was called VRV Master

If I had a nickel for everytime Power Rangers had to adapt a serious story out of a Not-So-Serious Sentai Season involving Cars, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!

It would have been such an AMAZING plot twist if Dimitria was actually Divatox in disguise the whole time. Not only would it make her apparent uselessness actually part of a long-game scheme to waste the power ranger's time and keep tabs on their activity like Master Miller in Metal Gear Solid, but it would also act as a connection to _In Space_ where she leaves the command center with the Blue Centurion, the command center gets destroyed in their abscene and the Blue Centurion gets ambushed and destroyed by who he thought was Dimitria but instead was Divatox all along. It would explain their absence at the end of Turbo and would make Divatox destroying the command center make way more sense.

I always felt like Justin would of been the perfect way to piece all the Ranger series together, like keep him as a Ranger until he turns into a mentor to a team

Imagine having PTSD from almost becoming cooked inside a pizza oven by some goofy monster throwing pepperoni slices at you.

"We had dinosaur powers, ninja powers, ancient crystal powers, and now... jeep." had me rolling 😭

Selwyn Ward, first Black leader of the Power Rangers. One of my favorite Red Rangers

I think the reason why Alpha 6 had a Brooklyn accent in Turbo was probably because Saban was experimenting with the idea of different Alphas having different personalities and accents. Like imagine a British talking Alpha or an Alpha with a southerner accent. Obviously the accent Alpha 6 got wasn't well received, so they went back to the good ol' "Aiyaiyaiyaiyai" in In Space.

40:09 I honestly like the fact that the Blue Ranger keeps his promise to his friend because you know promises are important.

I like the inclusion of a kid ranger here, always liked the trope of a mature kid who knows when to get serious and is allowed to be a kid and still learn from things. It also evokes the feeling of "If that kid can pull off kickass moves like that, maybe I can too."

Haven't finished the video yet, but I just find it hilarious how the main villain's plan is basically just planting a bomb on literally anything

Power Rangers was never really groundbreaking but due to decreasing viewership they started doing random shit. Randomly switching to Turbo without explanation for ditching Zeo. Never explaining phantom origin. Etc. the second half post passing of the torch the writing improved and the finale is one of the greatest things in the franchise.

An alternative to History of Power Rangers is nice, always good to have more people talking about their history with the show.

I actually liked the second half the most. It felt like a reboot and a much needed one. Even as a kid I felt Justin got a bad rep but rewatching Turbo years later. He was totally fine and for the most part a realistic point of kid becoming a ranger. Love this cast, Also I loved how you talked about TJ. I felt him being an open and understanding Red Ranger added charm to the team. Carlos felt more like the prototypical Red Ranger and Ironically was my least favourite of this group. Turbo deserves it's flowers and it (and Space) are the reasons why Power Rangers are still going. If it did end with Space I would have been content because it is a masterclass ending but I'm glad it continued. Anyways, Awesome review and looking forward to "In Space".

Dang it I actually like Zeo! After how Mighty Morph'n ended. The better excuse would that without Rocky they can't fully use the zeo powers so turbo would be a back up, the zeo powers would later be considered really powerful and is best called upon as a last resort Rocky "Retires" but is actually on stand by as the Turbo powers is enough to get the job then, Then passing of the torch happens, Tommy and Kat leave but Adam and Tanya stay to mentor the new turbo rangers while using the zeo whenever the new team needs help, Adam and Tanya would be called away just in time for the season finale, The whole zeo team comes back for the grand finale in Power Rangers in space.

So, wait… are you gonna be doing a video on EVERY Power Rangers season, or will you be stopping at a certain point? Because I’d love to see you talk about all of them!

Headcanon: Billy transformed the Zeo Crystals in Turbo Keys because he really likes working on cars, like the Radbug.

I was already encroaching "too old" by the time "Lost Galaxy" came out. I was just invested and, much like Conner, I thought the female Rangers were just so pretty! Anyway, I had such fuzzy memories of "Turbo", mainly because life was really sucky for me while its run was going on. Reviews like this fill in the gaps and, in a weird way, are kind of like therapy. Hoping you get to do "In Space" and "Lost Galaxy" to round out the original Fox Kids-era Rangers.

To be fair in regard to parody. Going from The Machine Empire to Big Titty Pirate from Space absolutely sounds like parody

56:58 In Yami Yugi’s voice: It should have been me, not him! It’s not fair!

The Phantom Ranger was in Carranger, he was not a ranger and he had very little screen time though. only having major roles in a handfull of episodes and a cameo in one or two. He was VRV Master, his design was inspired by the film The Wraith, starring Charlie Sheen

Personally as someone who watched this as a kid, the movie and the ending are the only thing I could recall until a few episodes like the robot one were triggered. Watching this one thing that is kind of weird when the base gets attack is that TJ says the Rangers are "in it until the end" which implies their death. Justin is freaking 12 years old and TJ is just making that decision without any contemplation. They probably should have teleported him to safety. That being said the finale and segue into "In Space" is something I can still recall 20+ years later (and this being the first time I have seen it since) which I think says good things about it as I could not tell you how Mighty Morphin segued.

When I tell you I’ve been WAITING for this!!! Dawg please don’t stop covering the entire franchise

I should mention that Johnny Yong Bosch send in a panel that there's a 3-hour cut of the turbo movie where when Justin gets character development and they show footage of them losing their zep power and mermaids for some reason

My take on justin is he was exactly the type of character the blue ranger role originally was in mighty morphin, The really smart and insightful backup to the red ranger.

8:24 Super Sentai had their own kid ranger a few years before. In Dairanger, Kiba Ranger(where the White Ranger suit comes from) is a kid who becomes adult-size when he transforms.

Rest in peace, Ernie we won’t ever forget you or you’re quitting jokes

The Phantom Ranger does have a Sentai counterpart, a character known as the VRV Master.

Thanks for your great job man! Very appreciate it. Keep going, you have our support. Would be glad to re-watch other seasons by your review, and after Zordan Era's too. Love u!

I'm 34 and I grew up watching all this. A couple years ago I got sick and had to be home for a week or so. I ended up rewatching the old era on Netflix. Its funny I never liked anything after turbo when I was a kid but I really ended up liking the "new" team on the rewatch.

man i had the turbo and mmpr movie collection as a kid, and i wore the tape out on that vhs. i didnt even know this was tied to Zeo and wondered what Kat was turning into Pink Zeo for.

Carranger : Let's take this serious story and make a parody series Turbo : Let's take this Parody series and make this a serious story

I love this series so much! Watching your MMPR video really sparked my interest in power rangers again. I can't wait to see where you take this series. Keep up the good work!

every video brings me joy, its like hanging out with a buddy or long time friend when i watch one of your videos, please never change

Might be worthy pointing out that besides Big Bad Beetleborgs, in Japan both Dairanger and Ohranger saw moderate success with kid sixth rangers, Kou and Riki, the only times they would have kid warriors too (Until TQG and Kyuranger many many years later anyway). To have someone in the main cast be a kid at some point would not be far from source material.

This series is so good man, really hope you go on until time force. Love your analysis and commentaries on important subjects

Another well made retrospective..... Can't wait for the In Space retrospective. Keep up the great work, Conner 💪

Great video! I personally enjoyed Turbo and liked with work that came about with TJ's team even if it meant we losing the cast that had been there since MMPR. On a side note, the Turbo movie mentioned that Justin's mom was dead and that he was at the children's shelter because his dad was having to rebuild their lives. It's why we only ever see Justin's dad during the few spots we see him: they're moments where he is able to do things like celebrate Justin's birthday or find a way for them to be family again. I had a buddy who went through that and related to Justin as a result. Anyway, great video like i said!

A lot of videos talk about Justin being a thorn due to being a kid turned adult for the power ranger. People forget that in the OG super sentai, the original white ranger was a kid

I already mentioned loving you adding the Tales of Symphonia soundtrack to your videos being 😙👌🏼 but now Fire Emblem too?! Love it!

Was waiting for the next one! Thank you so much, I have really been enjoying these ! Can’t wait for more (:

I personally think that it is that easy to create a time go back monster, its just that it needs rituals and stuff to go back more than like a day or 2

My biggest opinion on Justin is that him growing to full size when he morphs is hilarious to me

Turbo was weird and had issues but it did do well with the material it was given, like Conner said, this season is not NEARLY as bad as MEGAFORCE.

Love this series you do, the nostalgia kicks are so big

I just binged all 3 of your season explains mmpr zeo and this one I’m already waitin for in space to drop!!

Thank you for doing these types of videos on PR, Can't wait for IN Space!

Watched the In Space one first but dude, keep this going. Its such a nice blast from the past.

Turbo was a definite mixed bag of a season. I enjoyed it but it was hard to watch at times, plus I was distracted by Beetleborgs on TV too. Beetleborgs is so another show you should look at if you are looking for some extra ideas😊

Next.. the AWESOME world of Power Rangers in Space!!

It really is interesting, learning about all the ups & downs of the Power Rangers franchise. The 2 Power Rangers movies were my main introductions to the series (my parents didn't let me watch the show during its original run) before getting into the series proper with Lightspeed Rescue & Wild Force during the Disney era. So I have a soft spot for both movies, despite how bad they could be at times. I still love the Turbo theme. Also, 1 Power Rangers season that did the comedy to serious transition best was RPM, since its Sentai origin was a similar tone to Carranger. Can't wait til you tackle In Space with all the things it put in, to go out on a bang.

Just watched this and what an AMAZING review this was! I immediately went to your page hoping you’ve covered the next season. Way to leave us on a cliff hanger lol. Can’t wait for the next one from ya!!!!!!!

I remember getting into a fight with a bully, and after standing up for myself we became friends, so Justin's bully becoming his friend after beating him up makes sense to me.

Tony was just giving me the know how about all the power ranger history and super sentai things he learned from you! ❤

Yay! This’ll be an ongoing series!

man i remember your much older vids your stuff always makes me smile

😂😂😂 Great video man. Cant wait til you cover In Space

Phantom Ranger based on VRV master from Carranger. .

excited for in space! AND I'M GENUINELY SO HAPPY YOU DO TOKUSATSU CONTENT NOW! I LOVED YOUR STUFF BEFORE BUT NOW YOU DO THIS! GODDAMN YOU'RE AMAZING

I enjoy your analysis of the power ranger seasons. I wish I would have discovered your channel sooner and i can’t wait for your analysis of Power Rangers in Space. It’s one of my favorite seasons too.

God you are so good at this!!!!!! I can't wait for future installments!!!!!!

I can't wait for wild force, Time Force, ninja storm, SPD and Mystic Force. My Top 5

I never disliked Turbo. Justin was fine and the Beetleborgs was awesome. Tommy and his crew left was sad but TJ and the new team carried the show forward.

Really love this content. Hope you continue and do all the other seasons 😅

Whatever it's actual quality,, I have such fond memories of the Turbo movie from when I was a kid. Pretty sure we still have the VHS somewhere, actually. Probably it helps that I was eight-ish when it came out and could pretend I was power ranger material because of Justin. I didn't realize until you played that clip, but the names of my favorite sleds were Mountain Blaster and Red Lightning after the Turbo cars--Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser. Also, we didn't have access to whatever channel Power Rangers was on, so the movie was literally all the sentai content I had to watch. Well, that and the first movie and a few random VHS episodes I had of Mighty Morphin'. Sad days, having no access to the cable OR the internet. Seeing your run through of the events has been AWESOME, since I'm finally getting some idea of what happened in the canon and how actors came and went. Thank you for making and posting these!

Power Rangers In Space, Hell Yeah.

technically amy jo did come back, just not as kimberly, just as a bystander in the newest power ranger movie

Excellent video as always! Turbo is hard for me to watch because I am such a huge mighty morphin (and Tanya) fan. It was sad to see everyone leave.

Can’t wait for Connor to mention how The quantum ranger in time force is the voice actor of Virgil from Devil may cry

Umm actually🤓 Amy Jo Johnson made an appearance with JDF in the mighty morphin reboot 😂😝

I just started marathoning this series a couple weeks back and couldn't make it through Turbo. I have been checking your channel every day to see if I can get the cliff notes 😂

apparently originally passing the torch was going to have all the Rangers that had left this series up to that point, so Tui, Austin, Walter, Amy Jo, and David Yost.

I like that you detail each episode in your Ranger reviews.

RIP JDF you will be missed

The WEIRD World of Power Rangers In Space please after this one. Power Ranger In Space best Zordon Era season to make a video about. Also technically lost galaxy is zordon era if you wanna make a video about it too it would be super cool

Can’t wait till the in space video drops. Please keep this series going fr

i like this guy’s knowledge on pr and ss in general. love the video 🎉

funny enough, justin was the most competent one of the rangers. when ever something was happening, he knew it was divatox's doing, and would jump into action.

Dang get roasted nerd had me dying 😂

You surprised me with this upload!!!!!! Please keep on going!!!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

i LOVE these power rangers videos! keep it up!

Ah yes the power rangers season that almost killed it off freaking human Pizza pie thingy

can't wait till he gets to jungle fury

One of my favorite parts of the Pizza episode is when they try to fire the blaster at the monster and it does not work then we get the rangers posing while saying: TJ: "Nuts!" Justin: "Rats!" Carlos: "Drat!" Ashley: "Curses!" Cassie: "Phooey!" Blue Senturion: "Uhhhh..... Fiddlesticks!"

I love how honest your reviews are. Off to watch your Space video!

the only thing i remember as a kid from watching this movie was justin dropping his key and yelling "my key! my key! my key!" it probably didn't last long in the movie, but to kid me it lasted like 10 minutes and felt very awkward. lol

Bulk and skull were my favorite parts

Nice use of F-Zero X music! I played the game a lot as a kid ❤️

The two part ending with the Megazord and Base being destoryed really made this series pretty good

Although TJ was a solid red ranger, and the phantom was a cool, if underdeveloped character, Turbo deserves all the hate it gets. Zeo was objectively better. The best thing Turbo did was set the stage for In Space, which it did very well. Although I disagree that Turbo wasn't all that bad, this episode, and this entire video series, are awesome and very well done! Please keep up the good work.

Going down memory lane while cross with a lot of 3 Houses OST is a crash of past and present feelings of enjoyment for me.

Personal theory is that, the samething that happened to Jason in the zeo happened to the rest of the rangers. The powers was unstable. Also santia was already using kids. The white ranger was a 9 year boy. The gold zeo ranger was a preteen.

Im glad he talks about super sentai! I adore the super sentai series, so I highly recommend people check it out! The current sentai, King-Ohger, is an amazing series and I'm sure it'll hook you into the show!

53:57 I understand him because who the hell wants to start a conversation with "I am a dog and you are my owner".
