The Zordon era is over... but the story doesn't end there.
No, this is just the beginning, my friends.
That's the saddest part the death of zordon was supposed to end the invasion of earth
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Jasiah Emilio instablaster ;)
@Jack Davion Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Trini's actress died in 2001, not in 1998. They could have brought her back for the finale.
Yeah, she even voiced circuit in timeforce
Nope was wrong. False info, she just got an "in honor of" episode in timeforce "circuit unsure"
She died in Once & Always special
@@DSWappropriate Did you read what I wrote?
@@OnyxTigerthey didn't have money
The reasoning they went with a "space" theme instead of following the theme of Megaranger is Toei sent them a compilation of fight footage to give Saban an Idea so they could start writing it earlier than previous seasons. It had them on the galaxy gliders, the megazord, etc. so the writers thought it was space themed and were frustrated when they got the finished episode tapes because they had already started planning the theme of the USA version
Power rangers in trash
The Energy Tube was required because after 10,000 years in a warp Zordon’s body was pretty much destroyed. Larigot freed him from the warp but he still required containment.
So he still needed a tube but could move freely from tube to tube? I just assumed he would live on as the floating head im just curious if that's accurate or if there is more to it
I agree, its like headcanon to cver the plot hole but make senses
S1 shows in a brief flashback em MMPR that Zordon physical body should be the good wizard from Zyuranger ( NOT the blue alien from comics..) , so we know he has a physical body at some point...the writters probably forgot about it or are not able to take de costume and just hoped we forgot about it.
So i think what you saymake sense, it take too much time and he became spirit or energy being that posssed the tube..maybe it has something about him linking himself to the morphing grid too
@@rodrigobueno8652 I think him being the American version of Barza could have been interesting but I think they went with the alien in a tube for the more "Sci fi" look of the zords. Which fair enough, but power rangers always had that difficult translation of how the powers weren't magic but kinda were. I mean mystic force is just magic right?
@@deathmetalbard I'm pretty sure that we have a quick scene wehn zordon talks about his apst that show Barza in the globe, making it kind canonic even it was compeltly forgottem after.
Nya pos zordon era continuity is kind hard to say anything conclusive to all teams, as each team has it own power source and find itself in a diferent place in the tech vs magic angle. We can say rangers ussually are somekind of balance between both
I'm more on the Linkara train with Justin. The problem isn't the character as written or acted, but the entire reason for him to be added was cynical and they had to make the other Rangers dumb for him to look good.
Man, it'd be cool to see Pomelo and Linkara debate Power Rangers
@@RevanNaut Nah. I don't wanna see the lightbringer again
The reason for the time of Mega Silver is that the suit, being a prototype, is too powerful for his body to handle unlimited transformation
Even though they fix it later on?
@@saltypersian In Megaranger they didn't fix it, if I remember correctly he managed to increased the time limit, but it's still there
Oh so that's why zane was like tommy in in space, zane just showed up later on due to his time limit still being there
@Tom Ramos Really? I don't remenber, can you tell which episode was?
@@PlanoAparente Ep. 35: Overcome! Mega Silver's Greatest Crisis
“Yuusaku was then able to focus his attention on perfecting the MegaSilver suit. His absence from battle did not go unnoticed by Prof. Kubota and the others, especially when Kenta and Miku overheard a conversation that made them think Yuusaku was dying from a terminal illness, leading them to hinder his work as they attempted to make his "final days" easier on him. Meanwhile, Nezirejia had finally caught on to MegaSilver's weakness and had Mantis-Nezilar plan a trap to eliminate him. Fortunately, by then, Yuusaku had managed to fix the Silver Suit's flaw”
The Phantom Ranger was originally pitched to be Zordon's son. Honestly, given the material, this wasn't a bad series and there was some good stand-out writing.
I thought he was meant to be the spirit of fallen rangers. And the zordon's son thing was a later bit?
@@KOH87they also planned for billy to be his maker but all ideas were shelved
What could have been...
1:24:52 This is pretty common in military based Sentai.
I.N.E.T. Is supposed to be an internationally based organization, so it makes sense that there would be foreigners.
It would be weird that the fate of the world rests solely on Japan’s shoulders.
Ah, I see
To be fair, the overwhelming majority of Japanese shows tend to do that "Japan saves the world by itself" crap. Xenophobia? Inflated ego? Who knows?
Nejire is Japanese for "twisted", so Nejire Dimension is a twisted dimension.
that is why they twist things
I enjoyed that group and I truly adore nejire name
lmao
Power rangers space in. Greststst. Denji sentai. Mega rangers
What. Cool. G episode
Dylan please pierce crowley.
Power rangers space in what. Good.
35:11
In the japanese version, the five blue power suits are actually an illusion. In Megaranger, Blue and Yellow could combine their suits unique hability to create a holographic projection on each of the rangers, making them look blue.
This was never translated in the american version which is why we are left with this question, where do the 5 blue suits come from?
I asummed they used paint
Something hilarious happened. You said "let's take a moment to think about all the good that Justin did" and then an ad started to play. Almost like TH-cam itself knows that Justin was a joke.
Actually TH-cam only places an add at the beginning and end of a video so he actually put it there himself
Literally just happened to me too🤣🤣🤣
I got an ad at the beginning, when he said let's reflect on Justin, and when the energy wave released. And I'm only a little over half way done with the video.
3 years later and it's still cutting to commercial when it gets to Justin..😂
My headcanon is that everyone WAS fighting Mighty Morphin, Zeo and Justin we just didnt see them.
exactly. it's IN SPACE not everyone.... though it being a multi-part saga would've been awesome but we are talking a kid's show $$ is a thing
I can see that.
Agreed kimberly from florida jason zack and trini from the peace conference location tommy kat tonya rocky and adam from were ever they went off too and justin from his home town along side storm blaster and lightning cruiser
If memory serves, I believe the team for Power Rangers was given a lower budget for In Space since Turbo was such a bust. Yes, I wish we saw some more familiar faces from previous seasons towards the end of the series when the universe was in EXTREME danger. However, they pretty much did the best with what they had for one of the BEST seasons of the show's history. Though there are some filler episodes that could've been removed and replaced with episodes with a bit more substance.
Agree
Even with all its faults this is one thing I think Super Megaforce did better is getting the others to come back helped
Billy was supposed to be on the last episode as the phantom ranger. The plan was for the Phantom ranger to take off his helmet, and be Billy, but the show ran out of time to explain that. They thought for him to be that ranger, they would need another episode to explain that. The network did not give the creator enough time to explain that.
Actually in space was given one if the biggest budgets in that time cause it was supposed to be the final season going out with a bang and what not.
@@cannond.a3792 in my personal opinion.....most of the actors just wanted to move on and weren’t interested in coming back even for a finale
Yeah, In Space did have a smaller production budget than Turbo did since the last season was an absolute failure.
Man, these Sentai VS Ranger retrospectives are really dope. Glad I found your channel and I hope more people discover this because they're very insightful.
I love your channel, such a help when I'm depressed, thank you meatball
10:40
In the Japanese version, Megaranger, Shirogane who became Ecliptor in PR In Space had multiple lives. To explain this, the writter gave Andros a line after a blink-and-you'll-miss it shot at the beginning of the fight.
Ecliptor shoots lasers from his eyes and a silhouette of himself appears.
Then Andros says: It's a cyber-shadow!
After that, if you watch the fight closely, you'll notice that this Ecliptor has a different right shoulder than the real Ecliptor.
multiple lives like darkonda?
interesting
Not really multiple lives but rather he was a Robot that got repaired I believe
Just went back to watch the first few episodes of In Space, and I agree with what you said about T.J. being blue instead of red. A LOT of his acting was a bit stiff/wooden haha but I still love that season and him as co-leader to an extent!
It also just made more sense that the leader of a team based on space would be someone well versed in it.
Well, Selwyn Ward was allowed to shine more as an actor when he took over as the Red Turbo Ranger in the second half of Turbo. So, that explains a lot. Plus, we needed a new character to be revealed that he is the original Red Ranger of the newer season because Andros had already lead of team of Space Power Rangers in the past before he made TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie part of the team.
My understanding is that Zordon 's body is trapped in the tube, he is trapped in the tube in a morphing grid energy form. If the tube fails his form reverts to a dying physical body. Also I believe it is stated that every ranger we ever knew is spread through out the universe. Many on earth, some on other planets. They are fighting and losing on all fronts we just don't see it all on camera, just know it is happening.
only the comics can explain it right for us where all the other rangers were
In addition the attack on earth is global not focused and though it doesn't show it the other rangers they are likely fighting back in Florida(Kimberly), Europe(trini, and zack), Africa(Aiesha), and other cities and not just the rangers it is likely others are resisting such as the turtles in New York
18:00
The mega vehicles are supposed to represent Space vehicles. mega-V5 is a moon tank. Mega-V4 is a U.F.O., mega-V4 is a rocket, Mega-V2 is a space shuttle. And Mega-V1, my favorite, is suppose to represent an E.V.A. spacesuit like those used by NASA astronauts when they exited the space shuttle to fix satelittes, etc...
Mega Voyager did appear too early and you'll notice that it gets used like only in 1 in 3 episode until the Psycho Rangers arrive. That's because in Japan, the Mega Voyager arrived much later. In fact, Mega Silver was the one who built the Mega Voyager which is why his Mega Winger is later able to detached his wings and give them to the Mega Voyager.
Fun Fact: Mega Voyager is the only Megazord who doesn't change name from the japanese to the american version
So did zordon have the MV built since they were on his keycards ??? Just wondering how they're connected to zordon
@@truckercowboyed2638 According to Alpha, they were built by Zordon and then hidden in case of emergency. The cards were supposed to be sent to the rangers on Earth but were instead stolen during the attack on Eltar.
@@Kamenriderneo yes they were among the other space zords part of a back p plan if needed
Just to add my two cents about Zordon and the confusion of why he's still trapped in a tube despite Larigot sending him to Eltar, as I understood it when I watched it, the tube actually contained Zordon's spirit/soul in raw energy form, and the ghostly head that manifested when he was talking was just that, essentially his ghost. Breaking the tube unleashed the raw magical energy of his actual spirit, essentially his very essence, into the universe. I took the time warp as a necessity to keep his spirit from scattering on its own, basically locking the spirit down to the present time.
he was in a time warp the tube allowed him to talk to us
The space shuttle can combine with the astro megaship because it was built to. In Turbo, they imply that Zordon was in contact with NASADA to build it. It's sort of why theres the joke of Zordon having a million backup plans.
Including the idiot Gosei.
@@matthewpatasnik2361 The never mentioned Gosei 😂
This is why the Head of NASADA agreed for the rangers to take the shuttle as soon as Justin mentioned Eltar. It also explains how Alpha 6 knew to take the black box from the remnants of the Power Chamber, because it housed the codes necessary for the shuttle and Astro Megaship to form the Astro Megazord.
Oh man my eyes widened immensely when I saw this...can't wait
The collection of text that makes no sense is just english text that needed to fill screen that was never meant to be read,
It a comment practice.
Hey, just one little correction. Thuy Trang didn't die until 2001.
Yes - this was brought up in the chat on the premiere.
An oversight from me - but even less of an excuse to not try and offer her a role in the finale.
Also that David yost left due to the harassments from the crew that he dealt with and was on the hiding unit the interview in 2010
on the same day as the WTC attack.
@@Renegade2786 She actually died a little over a week before, on September 3rd.
@@Renegade2786 The funeral was a day before, on the 10th.
Those words in the morphin sequence were actually the names of some songs in a tech theme music album. Tho I cant remember the name of that album.
They are connected to titles to a British supergroup called Electronic. Makes sense for a series where the team uses electronics.
When I first watched justin receiving his morpher from storm blaster i just assumed that it was a new morpher that storm blaster created for him. I mean it is a sentient (and basically magic car) so it's not unthinkable.
that was pretty much my assumption that the new turbo morpher was using the powers of storm blaster to operate and that was why he was able to return as the blue turbo ranger.
18:37 Andros preferred working alone after Zhane was nearly killed. Even if Zordon asked him, he probably refused. And other than that, he had his own battles to fight. It's not like earth was the only place in danger.
When you mentioned a game being used to recruit people I instantly thought of “The Last Starfighter”
Me too!
the last starfighter a arcade
41:20 well to be fair the whole planet was under attack so it’s understandable the other teams weren’t absent, just fighting their own battles.
I like to assume Justins trying to defend his family during the battle.
So yeah, regarding the Neziregia name, it came from the word Nejire, or "to twist", that's why things were twisting in the earlier episodes.
That would make sense
God bless KAMEN RIDER
I hope u eventually do gokaiger vs super mega force that the one series i really want to see a comparison on but yeah megaranger is amazing
I always felt Megaranger was disappointing. Thankfully they made major changes for the power rangers in space adaptation.
@@Badgerflakes just no,megaranger is really good
@@MsSaskue360 yeah I like it
@@Badgerflakes Megaranger is not for everyone. Not a lot of people like slice of life shows which Megaranger is. I loved megaranger and the final 3 part ending was so good and was a big moment for the franchise since Sentai doesn't have the rangers have secret identities so Megaranger was one of those few series to have the rangers have secret identities, so when they had their identities revealed in episode 49, it was such a big moment that it made the rangers not want to continue being rangers cause the whole world doesn't want to put their lives in the hand of teenagers. I haven't seen Turboranger yet as that was the first high school season in sentai so they might have had the rangers have their identities revealed at the end of that season.
Me too, what I love the most in Megaranger are the characters. I also deeply love the ending theme Ki no Sei Ka Na
I love it when you used the Sentai's end song in your comparison video
The words written on the morphing sequence killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Remember Saban was desperately trying to get another series off the ground..
Resulting in him wasting a lot of money...
VR Troopers, Beatles Borgs, Masked Rider and etc...
Also I believe another reason we never see or hear from dax or his rogues gallery even though he is on earth is because kamen rider creator shotaro ishinamori was so pissed off with how saban made masked rider he took the rights away and threatened to take sentai away if he pulled that again
@@charlesnash1218 yeah. Because the series they chose to adapt was more serious and Saban made it to childish. Which is sad since I'd have loved to see the Heisei era adapted well. But then again some like Agito, 555, Drive, and Build are a bit to much.
@@2495781 kamen rider dragon knight??
@@charlesnash1218 that was the one Heisei era rider we got and they did their best to work around the whole Rider war and death concept. But still that was the third Heisei rider so kinda tricky. Plus they got better as time went by.
@@2495781 Dragon Knight did not get better at the end where they Went with Alien Invading concept . But then that's me ... Still prefer Ryuki cause it's More ... Real ? I think ?
Just caught up on your videos and your series on comparing both versions is very impressive. Once upon a time I thought about doing something like this but it’s such a large undertaking especially with the amount of seasons for both shows so your work on this is commendable! Looking forward to future videos and as a side note i’m very happy that you ended with my preferred Megaranger ending theme!
Awesome Intro.
So enjoy watching these Sentai VS PR comparisons.
Just found your channel and binge watched all these Power Rangers vs Super Sentai videos. Love you content my man! Please please continue these! I grew up in the 90s and only watched MMPR - Lost Galaxy. But I would still watch a video about every single season just to be informed on what happens and how it compares to it’s Super Sentai counterpart.
Recently stumbled across the Sentai-Universe, and these comparisons between Japanese and American Versions are very helpful. Thank you for all the effort and time you've been invested so far in making these. I'm looking forward another parts.
I been waiting for so long for this Rangers In Space fun with Megaranger Man
Fun fact: originally all villains were going to be purified, but do to time constraints as count down to destruction was supposed to be 3 parts instead of just 2, only rita , zedd and divatox were purified , rito revolto was also going to appear and be purified but his costume was in disrepair and he was cut out if the finale.
40:36
Actually, Thuy Trang didn't pass until September 3, 2001.
(Sorry to be the "Well Actually..." guy, but I distinctly remember the Time Force episode "Circuit Unsure" being dedicated to her.)
Yes - this was brought up in the chat.
My mistake.
Which is ironic because she died a week or so before the World Trade Center attacks.
The time warp was keeping Zordon on earth, in that tube, he’s basically an energy being- Ala Dimitria when she entered the tube. It’s less a call, and more allowing them to communicate with Zordon while he’s in a specific tube.
My headcannon was that Zordon’s energy tube is technically his physical body, the tube is the time-warp itself.
Nops, they showed ina brief scene he had a physical body:the good wizard from zyuranger. My headcanon is that he stay too much time im time warp and became a energy being because his natural body dieid or something like that
*canon*
@@rodrigobueno8652 They showed the Wizard in the show?
@@door5443 Yeah, but it was a brief scene
I always assumed that when Dark Specter captured Zordon he put him in a "locked" tube. And like most things, if you seal them in a pressurized can - they explode more spectacularly.
Good to see you back in action
I been waiting for this can’t wait I love these videos you do. You go so deep into the lure of power rangers and history. Keep doing what your doing.
Personally I can't wait for Lost Galaxy. If you do anymore.
I would also Really like to see Dino thunder
@@dk_kito4767 Dino Thunder would be good, SPD would be fun. Honestly I can't wait for my favorite season: Jungle Fury. Is Dino Thunder your favorite?
@@Hufflepuffzd96 No Zeo was. Dino thunder is my 10 year old favorite, we watch a lot of Theas together would be nice for him to see his favorite. My 6 Year old loves Wild force and 8 year old love Jungle Fury so both them will be nice to get as well. If he is still making them.
@@dk_kito4767 Zeo is awesome.
@@Hufflepuffzd96 It Seems the Senti Version was much better. But Zeo a big one for me gold was my favorite ranger for all time now. MM blue was my first. Really wanted Billy to be gold ranger, Jason was ok tho. still like to believe Phantom ranger is Billy
Excellent video! Really brought me back with these two seasons that I love dearly.
Outer Space vs Gaming.
Thunderbirds was powerful in Japan, so I understand the inspiration. I was thinking about that. Thunderbirds seems like a really old precursor to Power Rangers, as they share a number of similarities.
Five members of a team with technologically advanced vehicles go to save people and fight against a mysterious opponent (more so in PR than The Hood in Thunderbirds). They have to keep their identities secret so no one steals their powers/vehicles.
Cancelling my plans. This is my day. Can not wait.
I always assumed the Zeo powers were converted into the Turbo Powers. The Zeo power essentially got Turbo Charged. But I agree it never was properly addressed.
Hope you'll continue this and eventually get to Time Force vs Time Ranger! Two brillant series!
Thuy trang (trini) died in 2001, this happened in 1998.
"Has he actually captured Zordon, or just a glorified TV?"
I imagine the energy tube is more like a containment capsule, tied directly into Dark Specter from where he can drain Zordon of his energy. Either that or he was reimprisoned in the time warp, but considering the finale, probably the former.
Yeah Lost Galaxy is the epilogue to the Zordon Area
I would have loved to see an episode in which Tanya mentors Ashley, to give further context as to why she selected her as a replacement
....I will admit, the voice actor saying the "May the power protect you," line got me a bit teary eyed there.
This has been a good show so far, granted I got to watching this after getting done with Linkara's History of Power Rangers playlist, and this has been a nice additive to the Power Rangers deep dive I have been on lately.
This video is what i needed in life. As a die-hard Zordon-era Power Rangers fan and a recent Mega Ranger super fan i can absolutely agree with everything you said. I was completely sold on the season when they played Mars. Although you described Megaranger as "mega", i would honestly describe the season as simply..."charming". The only thing i'd really add is how powerful Miku's character development became. Her tears wrecked me every time. Like the kid from the boy who cried wolf episode, Miku actually became my favorite ranger of the season. Although she wasn't the strongest ranger..."Miku is Miku!"
The reason for using Mars the Bringer of War was because Megaranger’s budget was low, since they were still recovering from the poor sales Carranger and Ohranger had. Fun fact, the sound for the Tradis, from Doctor Who, was also used in Megaranger. And the English text, used in the morphing sequence for both series, are album titles from a band, named Electronic.
Just discovered this channel! Great content and now going back to rewatch all the seasons 🤙
Just discovered this series a few weeks back, happy that its still going. I love this stuff
Same
Same
I mean, Thuy Trang, the actress who played Trini, could have appeared in In Space since the series was made in 1998, 3 years before she got into her devastating car accident. Actually, to be fair, they could have been fighting off the enemy forces while the In Space Rangers were fighting the main force since like you stated, the show probably didn't show it for budgetary reasons.
I just assumed the veteran rangers were fighting off-screen. That or in the case of Jason, Zack, and Trini I want to incorporate the Boom Studios concept that they're in space as the Omega Rangers.
I have only recently discovered your channel, but I can already say that I absolutely LOVE this Power Rangers vs Super Sentai content and can't wait to see more. I'm sure Power Rangers Lost Galaxy vs Seijuu Sentai Gingaman will be worth the wait. Although I must say I somewhat dread the day when you reach Power Rangers Super Megaforce vs Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
Glad to see you're back doing this series. I hope eventually you cover all of Power Rangers vs Super Sentai, a lot of odd things about PR make a lot more sense thanks to your videos
To be fair, the other Rangers are probably busy with their own crises and villains, so they might not have been able to contact them.
And I doubt a show on the vurge of cancellation with in space being thought to be the final season had the budget to bring everyone back, plus the whole billys actor leaving because of homophobia, the original 3 including thuy leaving for pay disbutes
mega sliver actor is the same actor is the actor of g stag in juukou B Fighter. [Gosh Dang!!!!]
Zordon's existence could have easily been explained by saying, "He spent so long in the time-warp that his physical body had become sentient energy."
Way I always figured it, Zordon IS the energy in the tube, contained within it so that he doesn't disperse like he did at the end of this series. The image is a manifestation that he can project onto the inside of the tube so he can interact with people. Whether that's the form he's always existed in or just the form he takes in the Power Rangers dimension, under that dimension's physics, I can't know, but that would explain a lot. If he is an interdimensional being he can't be perfectly suited to every dimension he visits.
Supporting the idea that he's energy, he's able to just give of himself to the Rangers several times in the form of energy, and doing it too much will use him up. Also he says once that the morphing grid is sustained by his struggle, via the Rangers, with the various evil forces (he says Zed specifically, but that's just because the Zed was the baddie at the time). This implies that he could be energy just as the grid itself is. Maybe he's even a sentient projection of the grid, or a being who was changed by it so completely that he doesn't resemble his original self anymore. The grid is another dimension after all so being from there, or having visited there, would make him interdimensional.
Meanwhile the time warp is simply how they describe a time-space sink that trapped him in that one location on Earth, hence why the power chamber had to be underneath the command center. Freeing him from the time warp just allowed him to move between different containment units somewhat freely, and he was trapped similarly and bound to the specific containment tube that the villains used to threaten him.
I’m glad that you’re giving exposure to sentai, especially when there’s a resistance on a lot of people’s parts to watch sentai
I can understand the people as there are many cultural differences between the original and the adaptation which is basically why Power Rangers was born in the first place instead of Sentai being dubbed.But I can fairly recommend to watch Sentai as a former PR fan (good childhood haha).
The problem with Power Rangers adapting is compared to the original Sentais that through adaptation, rewriting and a different Setting for the franchise, that there are too many errors and plotholes and unexplained things happening which makes the franchise go worse as it goes on over the years without it aging well.For In Space it is the nonsense plots around the Psycho Rangers Arc when the Psychos would try to look for the rangers "secret" identities trough voices or communication device ALTHOUGH their boss Astronema and her generals are well aware of the Rangers identities actually and could have simply told them, but no tey have to translate the whole Sentai episode plot.
@@kovonlo146 To me, I don't see much culturally separating them in terms of outright appeal.
@@kovonlo146 at that point, Ecliptor and Astronema were brain washed by Dark Specter who didnt know their identities. So not a plot hole at all, you just didnt pay attention.
WHy can't Billy return? One word: Homophobic.
sad sad sad times
Well, he was given a chance to come back for the 20th anniversary battle in MegaForce, but he turned it down for multiple reasons.
1: The email Saban sent inviting him to the anniversary was not made specifically for him, but written as a general invitation. And it didn’t even have his name, starting instead with “Dear Power Ranger”.
2: Said email was full of typos and grammar mistakes. Clearly it was never proofread. If they’re not going to put any effort into the invitation, how can you expect them to put much effort into the event itself.
3: The event was unpaid, and they had to book their own flights to New Zealand in order to be apart of it.
Based on all of that, it’s a wonder they got any past Ranger actors to take part in the anniversary special. Then again, given how MegaForce turned out, maybe it’s for the best that David Yost turned it down.
@@Arthus850 Agree.
@@Arthus850 TEA
My guess is that if Billy leaves the atmosphere of Aquitar, his rapid aging would resume.
Just wanted to say I've recently binge watched all your power rangers reviews and I eagerly await more.
I literally watched the entire inspace part the day this vid was up. Took a break and watched megaranger and here I am.
You going to also review the skipped sentais? I'd love a breakdown of ToQger
Maybe, maybe not.
Currently he plans to do Jetman then Abaranger.
A comparison of the anniversary series’s would be cool
I wanted to say that I have watched your reviews for some time now and only just subscribed and liked because I hope it keeps them coming! :) Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue enter interesting territory where the former is so different from the source material and the later is the closest yet to its own source material. I can’t wait to see those deep dives.
New episodes are coming soon.
Due to the current situation I've been unable to film - but they're coming.
@@PomeloRetro What a swift and unexpected response. Many thanks! As for the timing, good things are worth waiting for and it would be lunacy to suggest we aren’t in “different” times. Good luck!
Power Rangers in Space came out my senior year of high school so it was a graduation of rangers and me
You should definitely start doing a rankings of the series at the end of your episodes. For both Rangers and S.S.
59:09 nah its not about diversity or attracting different kind of viewer or anything. Gay stuff like that is a very common thing in these Tokusatsu shows. Sometimes they're even used as just a gag.
Please do the next series comparison I LOVE watching these!!!!! Their the best I can find on TH-cam so please do more if you can!
I can't wait for your video essay on timeforce and dino thunder!!
I met Johnny Yong Bosch and brought up the Zeo powers, he said they filmed the Zeo powers being destroy by shorting out in water in the Turbo movie, but the scene was cut. They show this (sort of) when Kat morphs while falling, clearly starts to transform, but is then shown not morphed. So the Zeo powers were meant to have been destroyed, they just didn't show it.
One of,if not the most powerful weapons of the mighty morphing era....destroyed by water.....I am so thankful they edited that out.cause that is incredibly STUPID
In the Turbo movie, Zordon says to them that they are trading in thier zeo powers, to make the Turbo Power Rangers. So that thier newly invented cars can travel over the sea to get to the island the villains headed to.
Diet Crepe song that is all
Die die die die diet creeeeeppee
I remember the chick with the blue helmet hair actually appeared in the background of one scene in In Space. Nice job there, editors.
Hi pretty new here but loving ur comparison videos so far!
On the Ninja Powers being destroyed (and why nobody uses the Dino Coins like Adam does):
If the Dinozords can't be upgraded into the Thunderzords anymore, why would they use the original Dinosaur powers? No more Dino or Thunder Zords. No Ninja Zords obviously since they don't have the proper coins. So how would they protect themselves without Zords? Even then, Dino Coins are weaker than Ninja Coins, so they'd have a way harder time defeating monsters... all things considered, swapping to Zeo powers was in fact the best decision, even if the former powers COULD be restored like.. however Adam's Mastodon Power Coin was restored.
If anything, the Rangers using restored Power Coins would have to be a backup / assisting team. Which would actually be kind of cool but wasn't the point of the tangent in the video.
I recommend to watch the vs movies in order as it makes more sense in order then watching before you watch the season. So for this case you should have reviewed the megaranger vs gingaman after you watch gingaman so you are not as confused. This starts to become important when you get to seasons in the 2000s where the vs movies start to become more canon.
07:38 Their all song titles from Electronic's first and self-titled album. Someone from the Megaranger crew must be a fan since that crossover into the translation.
Another excellent episode as usual!
You should make a “Your Welcome Dads” merch line lol
Yes
Awsome video I watched in space and megaranger you did a very good review of both
If you do more of these, consider me subscribed. because i would love to see more of this type of thing, as I don't think anyone else has done something like this as a direct comparison of the Super Sentai v Power Rangers in video form.
I think I remember hearing David Yost saying he was pitched to be the phantom ranger, but it never materialized... but I may also be misremembering something lol
Just going to gloss over that the Angel Grove school hallway, is reminiscent if the Saved by the Bell set?
Ah, the glorious Z-wave.
There's just something eternally enduring about seeing Zordon wish us all "May the Power Protect You!"
Very cool video! Just out of curiosity - should you not have waited to watch Gingaman Vs Megaranger until AFTER you watched Gingaman? Haha. Why did you not watch Megaranger vs Carranger instead?
If I remember correclty, The japanse thoroughly despise Gingaman and Timeranger, but Lost Galaxy and Time Force are some of the most beloved PR series.
I enjoyed lost galaxy
Why they hate those series? Timeranger is my all time favourite
Can you eventually do comparison videos similar to this for Masked Rider/Black RX and Dragon Knight/Ryuki?
He’s still got a backlog of videos.
Awesome video! Great effort!

The reason why the shuttle can combine with the Astro Megaship is because of a device that Alpha 6 carried which was a powerbox from Zordon. The box basicly modified the shuttle and the megaship's infra-structure to combine. Since it was a device built by Zordon, I always thought it was a very subtle glimpse of what his power was. This would explain why Dark Spector wanted to drain him so much
