I must be the only one who likes the comedic villains. One of my favorite lines in Power Rangers is Lothor in his megazord in the finale, "This is the most fun I've had all season!"
I think the comedic villains are good, if done right. My favorite example is Evil Emperor Zurg from “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command,” a humorous bad guy who you could still believe is a credible threat. As for Lothor, I thought he was fine, though he might’ve been better if he wasn’t the first Disney PR big bad (maybe iron out the writing kinks and then have him as humorous but threatening). Other decent comedic PR villains IMO are Sledge and Poisondra, Zedd after The Wedding (especially Changing of the Zords and when he and Rita vaporized the Ninja MMPR coins), and even Divatox (her rivalry with Astronema was entertaining).
@@Deity_devil I always thought Divatox was hilarious, especially Hilary Shepard's take because she just goes full ham, but I get why people are annoyed by her.
I still dont get how Lothor has nieces in Space, my headcanon is that he married an elderly rich empress and took the empire when she died, and he also became an uncle to that woman's nieces
Always hated how the Sensei just handwaves it away by saying "Once a Ninja is banished they cease to exist." Yeah Sensei, genetics doesn't change because of Ninja law. Lothor is still your brother by blood.
The whole “must be in their Ranger form” line should have been “defeating them while weakened is meaningless and is dishonourable”. This would have actually given Lothor some character outside of being goofy and could have been the base for him to be a solid villain
The problem would have been then a conflict with past Lothor stealing and blaming an innocent to get the pendant like what years wandering space made him more honorable but no less evil?
@ it’s not so much that blamed Cam for it being stolen, but he was disguised in the way that made them think it was Cam. An easy way this could have been resolved was to just have him wear something different when stealing the pendant
In retrospect, Lothor probably just wanted to avoid any chance of the Morphin Masters doing a bullshit deus ex machina Yes Dino Fury's lore bothers me, how can you tell?
@ considering current lore, that’s what the reason likely would have been. Back then, it would have been just to make an excuse to not have the villains attack and give the team enough time to recover and get back into fighting shape
Fun thing about Lothor; He's both one of the silliest and yet also one of the most well written villains in that he has multiple sides to him. Add to that the fact that he ACTUALLY almost won and the rangers had to resort to sealing him away, and yeah, he's definitely interesting.
The ancient "electric guitar" makes a bit more sense in Hurricaneger. It's actually a shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument that's similar to a banjo.
fun fact about this season, the ninja rangers and thunder rangers were supposed be two separate teams in one series, explaining why they showed up so soon, and have red and blue adjacent colours despite there already being red and blue rangers on the main team. however the fact that they were never really in opposition to the main team, the fact they were almost always working with and combining their zords with the main team, the fact only the main team was in the title, and just the fact they only had 2 members as opposed to 3, it all made them feel like the 2 extra members of the main team to round out the standard 5 man band rather than a whole other team. super sentai would later retackle the idea with lupin ranger vs pat ranger, and they managed to pull it off way better. it helped that this team they had 3 members on each team.
Lupin Ranger Vs Pat Ranger was such a great way of handling the dual team plot especially with how even a good chunk into the story they were hesitant to rely on the others.
I’m so glad that didn’t happen that pitch seemed to much like fan fiction and wouldn’t work with the budget they had too much original footage and they won’t be able to blend it well
@@krasherom Only problem being that the longer the series went on, the more focus the Lupinrangers got and the more shafted the Patrangers got. I wanted to see more of the Patrangers than the Lupinrangers.
I’m excited for the Dino Thunder video, I grew up with DT on VHS and it was always my favorite season to watch as a kid, even not really understanding the significance of Tommy being in it
@@tyroberts8586 ummm what? Did you read something COMPLETELY different than what I actually said/typed? 😅 it’s not that PR wasn’t “for me” anymore….i just quit watching cuz again,it seemed like it would never end,and they seemed like they were running out of ideas after SPD 😅
The first power rangers season i ever watched, the pure nostalgia I get just from seeing the suit designs or hearing the theme song cannot be matched by anything else, NINJA STORM RANGER FORM HA!!!
I'm so happy you loved the Cam Samurai arc. These 3 episodes are some of my favourite episodes Ninja Storm had to offer. Cam is also one of my favourite rangers and also another strong green ranger to add to the already strong Green Ranger cast. He and Dustin are definitely are the main highlight of this season. Love them both. He also did the Samurai mode before Power Rangers Samurai.
You really think Conner will go a full TWO MONTHS without posting TWO Power Rangers videos? ….BTW I’m not being sarcastic or trying to be rude,I’m genuinely curious 😅
Was wondering if Hexagon would get a mention. I know a lot of people find it interesting but I really don't think it would have worked out that well. I'm glad we got Ninja Storm instead!
It's a interesting concept and I could see it working in the comics. It's way too expensive for it to work on TV. Disney threw around either just dubbing the Senti or playing reruns and not doing any adaptation. They barely got Forever Red to work.
You're message at the very end was wonderful. And I felt the same way for being the power rangers guy with my friends and not being able to talk about it. But, your videos have had me start watching the show again, and also share the best parts of the show with my best friend. He remembers mmpr and we have just finished jungle fury. We've had a great time and so many inside jokes have come from this. And it all came from your videos giving me the courage to share the show I love with my friend. I'll be looking forward to every Power Rangers video you put out! I've got notifications on for your channel and I can't wait!
As someone who worked in managment. I found lothor strangely relatable. Like i found his annoyance with his generals and nieces to be so relatable to how i felt about some of my "less gifted" workers. It was so strange watching this season i adored as a child and walking away from some episodes, now as an adult, thinking "man i really feel for lothor there, he just wants things to go his way." because thats how i felt at work. His comedic nature also makes him a fun villain to watch if you get into that style of humor. Overall i still love this season immensely, and its a fun watch to this day. Cant wait for this series to get the jungle fury. My favorite underrated season
YES! I was waiting for this one! The final battle is my absolute favorite in the franchise since, as far as I know, it's the only one where they fight, and win, unmorphed ^^
One funny part of the show was when Shane and Dustin were ogling on the computer doing stuff. The Cam walked in and said, "You guys better not be doing something illegal." I don't know why that stuck out, but it always got me rolling. 🤣🤣
The GOAT season. Endless replay value. Perfect vibes and tone. Cast chemistry A1. Legitimately funny and charismatic villain. Cam the gawd. Way ahead of its time in terms of efficiency - it could fit in 20+ yeats later and still function. Nothing was wasted. The spark this show had never shone as bright. R.I.P. Pua.
Your segment at the end there Connor, 100% I know that feeling. Growing up I was never able to talk to anybody about my true love for power rangers until many years later. In 2021 I discovered Brennan Mejia (Dino Charge Red) had a twitch channel. I built up the courage to speak with him in his streams and If not for him I wouldn't have all my new friends I talk with today, and thanks to the people of Power Morphicon I managed to find many more friends including yourself. Definitely keep up the great work on these videos and I certainly can't wait to see your Dino Thunder Video.
Ninja Storm is probably my second favorite season of Power Rangers because of two things: I'm a sucker for Ninjas and may have had a crush on Tori back then.
Also, the intro opening, major bop....also it's the first opening since Mighty Morphin season 1 to use episode footage on the characters instead of using intro exclusive character shots just coming in and smiling towards the camera, it all continued throughout the Disney era excluding SPD.
I love these videos, brings back good memories. Something interesting that occurred to me is Shane does a strain in his voice when morphed, which is similar to what Jason did in MMPR and Zeo when morphed.
i have literally been checking your account every single day just to see if you posted a disney era power rangers video and the minute i saw it i stopped everything and started watching and it was so worth it !!!!!!!!
@@AdamAddictL actually, it is just a coincidence, PR is a adaptation of Super Sentai(Ninja Storm being a apdatation of Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger), and beetles are something of a cultural phenomenum in japan, so it is pretty common to see beetle themed characters, the same thing goes to Beetleborgs, that is a adaptation of Juukou B-Figther, one of the seasons of Metal Hero. So no, it's not a throwback. fun fact: both Metal Hero and Super Sentai are from Toei Company, the same one that make the One Piece anime.
@@Vervict I’m sorry but that’s such an idiotic thing to say. 90s kids growing up watching Power Rangers and Beetleborgs are gonna remember them more than the Japanese stuff,so I think it could still be a reference due to the fact that they even decided to MAKE a Power Rangers show using the outfits of THAT particular Japanese series.
So. Fun fact. One of the new students is the same actor who plays Connor in Dino Thunder. Connor talks about him as his twin brothet who went to a secret ninja school.
I've been waiting for this season recap! Ninja Storm was the first season of PR I watched, and upon rewatching it recently, I'd say it acts as a perfect entry point for new fans of the series and essentially a solid soft reboot. Plus, it's fun to see the series embrace its inherent goofiness from time to time like with many examples in this season.
"Disney wanted to capture the young teen demographic." Me who was a fan since the very beginning and was 15 when MMPR first aired on August 28, 1993. 😅
That's wild brother I'm only 20 years old lmfao but I've watched everything power rangers related and read the comic too, lol idk I just forgot about the fact there would have been teenagers while mmpr came out lmfao 😂😂😂
Don't know if you ever saw the alternate ending where Audrey 2 wins, multiplies and the world is overrun with kaiju size plant monsters but I always thought it would've been awesome to have a Megazord appear and face them right before the ending credits rolled. Lol
I am so glad you’ve continued this series bruh. Revisiting (or much like you, seeing for the first time) these seasons has been great, but I’d also like to give you some kudos on your music selection. KH/FF OST’s are just as much a part of my formative years as Power Rangers is, and having them blended like this is hitting all of my buttons. Keep at it, my guy!
Ninja Storm was the first piece of Power Rangers media I was ever exposed to and the second series I watched from start to end. So it, alongside "Samurai", ironically enough, holds a special place in my heart. While I understand that the more humerous villains aren't for everyone, I personally loved their dynamic.
I heard that. For the "crossover episode" portion you used Meaning of Birth as the background music. The Asch boss theme from Tales of the Abyss. :D Also, the retroactive brilliance of Lothor's plan is something I love. Literally the whole series he's just screwing around because every failure builds up to his Abyss of Evil gambit. I feel like it was a great way to justify the silliness we saw for this villain squad.
It’s honestly a coincidence u posted this cause I checked your channel literally yesterday just to see if u had any activity then I woke up to this upload!!! It was meant to be!! Thank u for doing the Disney era!!!!
Definitely looking forward to the Dino Thunder video. For me, that's THE Power Rangers season I grew up with. It's that, SPD and MMPR (through old VHSs). But Dino Thunder is the one I remember most growing up.
This is low-key one of my favorite seasons. The villains were a treat and I like how they're self-aware of the plot because it comes back in the finale! But seriously, apart from Overdrive the Disney Era was full of banger seasons.
They could've made the Wild Force/Ninja Storm crossover work. All they had to do was have the Wild Force Rangers be morphed for the majority of the episode, and then have body doubles or stand-ins for scenes where all the Rangers are unmorphed and talking to each other, but Ninja Storm Rangers are facing the camera. Kinda like what Saban did with Jason, Zack and Trini after their respective actors left MMPR and before The Power Transfer. And if there's any unused stock footage from Wild Force, they could use it in the crossover episode.
Just for the fact that yellow's actor is brazilian makes me love ninja storm even more. I wish we had known that back then, we brazilians would make him even more of a celebrity or have him dub himself
Never heard of Power Force, but around 2009 ish Dollar Tree had a toyline called Raptor Force that were those figures on the box with the joints along with armor, so exceptionally great value for a dollar. However, the torsos were made of a really cheap thin plastic, sometimes transparent plastic to make things worse, and I put one like 5 feet away from a campfire and the chest seemingly exploded a few minutes later from the heat. I had a few of them but I think I gave them all away at some point. Miss those...
For me, personally, the Disney era was PEAK! There was only one season that is considered “bad,” but in my opinion it’s just forgettable at worst (I’m talking about Operation Overdrive). I’m so excited for when he gets to RPM! That season is how you go out with a BANG!😃
Cam becoming the Green Samurai Ranger was easily one of the coolest moments of the season. I could tell he was probably gonna become a ranger at some point, but the fact he wasn't only a GREEN Ranger like Tommy but also a Samurai on top of it. Made him even more badass.
Thank you so much for this Ninja Storm video. Even though i watched Mighty Morphin as a 90s kid, it wasn't till around Wild Force and more importantly Ninja Storm that i got invested in Power Rangers. The Disney era was mostly fantastic.

One interesting about the finale is that one of the "Echo fighters" as you put it is played by the same actor who plays the red ranger in Dino Thunder

Not only that, but Dino Thunder also explains it as well with the red ranger explaining that one of that trio is his brother... I think.
Fun thing about Lothor; He's both one of the silliest and yet also one of the most well written villains in that he has multiple sides to him. Add to that the fact that he ACTUALLY almost won and the rangers had to resort to sealing him away, and yeah, he's definitely interesting.
I still kind of wish he was a bit more serious, but I see where you're coming from.

I am so excited for Dino thunder because it’s genuinely one of my favorite seasons
i'm excited for Dino thunder and SPD
@ oh yea SPD is also one I am also looking forward too
5:42 "A Force is Coming" is what saved it, the moment they used it in zord fights. simple, elegant, and rock-hard.
I am so glad you’ve continued this series bruh.
Revisiting (or much like you, seeing for the first time) these seasons has been great, but I’d also like to give you some kudos on your music selection.
KH/FF OST’s are just as much a part of my formative years as Power Rangers is, and having them blended like this is hitting all of my buttons.
Keep at it, my guy!
Ninja Storm was the first piece of Power Rangers media I was ever exposed to and the second series I watched from start to end. So it, alongside "Samurai", ironically enough, holds a special place in my heart.
While I understand that the more humerous villains aren't for everyone, I personally loved their dynamic.
I heard that. For the "crossover episode" portion you used Meaning of Birth as the background music. The Asch boss theme from Tales of the Abyss. :D
Also, the retroactive brilliance of Lothor's plan is something I love. Literally the whole series he's just screwing around because every failure builds up to his Abyss of Evil gambit. I feel like it was a great way to justify the silliness we saw for this villain squad.
It’s honestly a coincidence u posted this cause I checked your channel literally yesterday just to see if u had any activity then I woke up to this upload!!! It was meant to be!! Thank u for doing the Disney era!!!!
Thank you for giving me something to enjoy during my night shift 😭
Definitely looking forward to the Dino Thunder video. For me, that's THE Power Rangers season I grew up with. It's that, SPD and MMPR (through old VHSs). But Dino Thunder is the one I remember most growing up.
seeing this pop up has brightened my day! one of my favourite seasons !
finally !! been waiting for this one for so long! amazing video as always!
Dude, I just watched your Wiled Force video just a just a few minutes before this showed up today. It’s like magic!
5:45 - Like I said before since Morphicon, the theme slaps when I was a kid yet cried for nostalgia when I grew older & older.
This is low-key one of my favorite seasons. The villains were a treat and I like how they're self-aware of the plot because it comes back in the finale! But seriously, apart from Overdrive the Disney Era was full of banger seasons.
babe wake up he’s doing the disney era power rangers
Bro that power force set was a throwback for me. I had multiple as a little kid and remember how crazy it was to see a pink ninja storm ranger figure.
They could've made the Wild Force/Ninja Storm crossover work. All they had to do was have the Wild Force Rangers be morphed for the majority of the episode, and then have body doubles or stand-ins for scenes where all the Rangers are unmorphed and talking to each other, but Ninja Storm Rangers are facing the camera. Kinda like what Saban did with Jason, Zack and Trini after their respective actors left MMPR and before The Power Transfer. And if there's any unused stock footage from Wild Force, they could use it in the crossover episode.
yeah, and maybe the actors could've just done the ADR
I can't believe you ignored Kelly like that! Justice for Kelly!!!
38:27 oh yes the ancient ninja electric guitar one or the absolute silliest things in Power Rangers
Wait until Ninja Steel with Levi and HIS guitar...
Well Cam played Rock music with it. And the Mammoth zord was from the stone age. So it all connects. Relatively speaking...
@@videonut1988 please don't mention that season
@@raj_a_jaiswal I know
Ninja Steel
The usage of Ys VIII music in the finale recap, brilliant
the bestest era, the disney era
I love that you do these. these videos are always the best!!
LETS GOOOO!!! I've been waiting patiently for this, Ninja Storm was my childhood. Thunder storm rangers outfits are GOATED.
Just for the fact that yellow's actor is brazilian makes me love ninja storm even more. I wish we had known that back then, we brazilians would make him even more of a celebrity or have him dub himself
GRANDPA WAKE UP! CONNOR THE WAFFLE MADE ANOTHER POWER RANGER VIDEO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Never heard of Power Force, but around 2009 ish Dollar Tree had a toyline called Raptor Force that were those figures on the box with the joints along with armor, so exceptionally great value for a dollar. However, the torsos were made of a really cheap thin plastic, sometimes transparent plastic to make things worse, and I put one like 5 feet away from a campfire and the chest seemingly exploded a few minutes later from the heat. I had a few of them but I think I gave them all away at some point. Miss those...
For me, personally, the Disney era was PEAK! There was only one season that is considered “bad,” but in my opinion it’s just forgettable at worst (I’m talking about Operation Overdrive).
I’m so excited for when he gets to RPM! That season is how you go out with a BANG!😃
I absolutely love this, keep up thr good work
57:00 I thought I was the only one who played with those 'Power Force' figures. I keep seeing these kinds of figures in every corner shop.
When i tell you I get excited when I see you drop a new video!!!🎉🎉🎉
A new power ranger video!!! Im so excited!!
Ya know how long i been waiting for this wooooow im about to get nostalgic here
I love ninja storm as kid
I had the red ranger costume when I was a kid. The memories!!
babe wake up new ConnerTheWaffle Power Rangers video just dropped
Cam becoming the Green Samurai Ranger was easily one of the coolest moments of the season. I could tell he was probably gonna become a ranger at some point, but the fact he wasn't only a GREEN Ranger like Tommy but also a Samurai on top of it. Made him even more badass.
Thank you so much for this Ninja Storm video.
Even though i watched Mighty Morphin as a 90s kid, it wasn't till around Wild Force and more importantly Ninja Storm that i got invested in Power Rangers. The Disney era was mostly fantastic.
Just had a bad day at work and literally love that you finally released this one. Love your content. all Hail Connor the Waffle God.
I've been waiting for thisssss
I think the popularity of Naruto at the time played a big part in how cool Ninja Storm was. I loved everything ninja in that era lol
Actually false, Naruto wouldn’t air in the USA until 2 years after Ninja Storm ended
