Hello😏
Hello
My farts are better than Alex Meyers’ farts.
Hi, Maybe next you could do Unnatural history from 2010 from Cartoon Network and it's only one season and Maybe you could also do Aaron Stone from Jetix from 2009 too, thank you.
Hi
I just can’t get over the fact that they will forever wear their ranger colors in their normal clothes, all the way up into middle age.
To be fair, Zac had a suit lol.
well, I'm 39yo and I've always loved the color blue so, yeah I wear blue clothes almost everyday....and I'm still waiting for Zordon's call 😅
@@BJThury same with me with yellow
And the fact that, somehow, with all the ranger stuff like Turbo/Zeo/Space, all direct sequels, none of the post-Mighty Morphin' rangers stuff is ever mentioned in anything to do with Mighty Morphin'. The Power Rangers timeline is wack.
@@Ijustusethistocommentstuff They referenced other rangers teams and other rangers were captured - Zeo Ranger 2 Yellow was interestingly the only Zep ranger captured there as the other Zeo Rangers ARE in this special (Tommy albeit voiced, Kat, Adam and Rocky).
It's not a reboot though... It's an anniversary special
I thought so.
Dont_Read_My_Username..
Ah ok
Where is Kimberly and Jason then
@@pleaseshutup7053 the actors didn't want to show up?
Zack has hardly aged a day. The power has clearly been protecting him.
The power of African melanin.
Black don’t crack
Zack dont crack.
like he said in the video dude clearly made a deal with Nyarlathotep or Mephistopheles guy has aged 3 days while his co stars aged 30 years dude clearly has a daemon or fairy locked up in his basement
To be fair, if I'd been a Power Ranger, I'd stick to my given color, too. :) Like a thing of pride in how huge it had been to my life, and how I'd wear my color as a badge of honor to the good times.
I hate how so few people realize they have been making power rangers for 30 years. This isn’t a reboot. It’s a tribute.
Beautifully Said.
@@LooneyVoices6398 A great example of a good season after the original, is Dino charge. Even if it’s not in the same universe or something, (idk) it’s still my favorite.❤😊
Came looking for this comment
@@LooneyVoices6398 i still to this day remember the time force finale, blew my small child brain. every kid who watched power rangers has their favorite series, for me time force is that one, maybe ninja storm but i don't as vividly remember that series finale.
I'll always be an original rangers fan. :) This movie feels like a love letter to the cheesy, campy style of the series.
I have never been a fan of power rangers but I can tell they tried to replicate cheesy 90s energy. I can appreciate that.
I was a fan and it really seems like they did replicate the cheesiness which is awesome
It was a good 55 minute film
Just watched it yesterday I don't know why people don't understand that power rangers have always been cheesy like this.(I loved the hip hop kido return)
@@seangaming2144 it was a refreshing visit and a good back to The past which was fun for a good 55 minutes
@@seangaming2144 because the story wasn't cheesy. It ended up falling half and half. Sometimes we're so serious.
As someone who's not a Power Rangers fan, I gotta say I love how cheesy and true to the original this feels in content and visuals. No new age plot revolving smartphones or whatever, no new tech that's more like today's standards, no hyper realistic makeup or CGI, just guys in tight suits fighting each other for some space reason. It's beautiful.
true, but people will always find flaws, especially youtube critics
@@greenrobot5 and criticism is good, but Alex here just seems to not get the vibe it was going for much
As someone who watched all the power rangers as old,it definitely hits the nostalgia buzz
@@lollybowser I've always got the impression that Alex ignores the 'vibe' of most of the content he looks at, and deliberately puts a negative spin on it for contents sake.
Well except the megazord scenes. That was all obvious cgi
TBH I love how they kept the cheesiness, the low budget costumes, the goofy fights choreography. They didn’t try to modernize it too much. It’s a good way to say one last goodbye to a childhood show.
I was wondering why the production was done “90s” style but now that u mention it, it does make sense and I appreciate it now 😂 thanks.
Personally, I think it would've been better off if it were a little less cheesy. we're all nostalgic for that time, but 90s acting just doesn't work anymore.
TH-camrs not old enough to understand Once & Always is kinda hilarious. Like, you have to understand the first three seasons of the show and the earlier movies came on VHS. The 90s, man!
I never finished MMPR and still understood this movie because I’ve seen the characters in other PR series
You didn’t need to finish MMPR, it was redundant
“They just made it as a regular episode of Power Rangers from 1992,” I’m pretty sure that’s what they were aiming for. This is what every remake is trying to achieve, I see this as a win and not a lost.
YES! In so many big and small ways, it was faithtful to the original show. The fact that it felt like a lost episode of the show that was only just released is a compliment and everything I wanted from it as a lifelong fan.
Alex needs to do his damn Homework Mighty Morphin started from 1993 to 1996 then we get Zeo
This shit was trash
same
Except it's just bad.
It's too bad Bulk and Skull never really appeared in this anniversary special. They deserved a bit more than a cameo!
Ikr
Riding Titanus
Yeah, I would have loved to see them. There was a brief almost cameo, maybe you missed it. Their faces were on a billboard that got ruined in one of the fights. It looked like they opened a food truck or something.
Maybe the actors didn’t want to partake beyond that. They sure were memorable though.
Yeah that’s messed up! But that sign was cool “use your skull buy in bulk” 😂 brilliant
They were only there in billboard format
So sadden about Jason David Frank. I didn’t even know as well as Thuy Trang. May they both rest in peace.
a lot of the cast from back then passed away but indeed RIP to all of them including Machiko Soga who was Rita in the Japanese footage, Richard Genelle who was Ernie, Bob Manahan as the main and 2nd voice of Zordon, Robert Axelrod who voiced Finster and Zedd back then and Bob Papenbrook who did the voice of Rito.
@@MattZRJSRoxyAmen Rest In Peace to all of them
Kat and rocky were technically the last holders of the red and pink Dinoranger power (i mean the green ranger power is also gone and tommy should have been the white ranger) they took over for Kimberly and Jason, then kat and rocky went on to be the pink and blue zeo rangers and then Kat went on to be the pink turbo ranger; rocky would have been blue but he "got hurt " doing the flip kick he did in this movie that "never lost it"
the powers have always been inconsistent. Kat shouldn't have been Turbo in Super Ninja Steel since she gave that to Cassie and MMPR Red are usually traded between Jason and Rocky since it was Jason in Forever Red and we can likely assume it was him in Super Megaforce, Rocky was Red in Super Ninja Steel then we see Red again in Beast Morphers which was Jason.
Green powers have been established as being back due to Tommy's Master Morpher.
@@MattZRJSRoxythat's what happens when you turn the middle part of a mostly disconnected series into a continuous narrative before branching off into different stories but still allowing old characters to return with new powers.
Technically, Green never left. The majority of the power was taken by Rita, and she held it until her end in Countdown to Destruction where she turned good. So as Good Rita she could’ve handed back the Dragon powers
@@MattZRJSRoxy we already know from multiple crossovers and this very movie that the mmpr rangers at least are capable of eventually fixing their morphers (as adam went from having his morpher still be damaged to all the mmpr rangers using morphers without any repercussions), and I'll assume this also will apply to the green ranger power and a few other ones like Dino Thunder because lore wise, the morphin grid cannot be destroyed, only morphers, and theoretically the rangers can just make new morphers like in Ninja Steel where the rangers make new stars when the old ones are destroyed at the end of season 1 or the cosmic fury rangers creating enhanced versions of their dino fury powers.
@@darkmanstudios3828 the power wasn't stolen by Rita, she was going to get the powers but Zordon told Tommy to give up his coin to another Ranger to prevent this transference which he did but you're right that as good Rita, she likely could've fixed that but due to his Master Morpher, who knows if she did or if it was even needed.
You do know that Thuy Trang died over 20 years ago, right? There has been some other stuff done over the years to give her some manner of "send off", but many felt that she was kinda just replaced without much fanfare at the time... Kinda understandable considering the target audience back in the day, but those fans are all adults now and felt that she deserved better, including David Yost (Billy/Blue Ranger). That's why he was so involved in the writing and production of "Once and Always". It was definitely a passion project for him since he and Thuy were so close back in the day.
also David Yost had to leave the PR cast because he had been harrased non-stop by staff due to his sexuality (Saban never apologizing to him was the reason he never came back), so the fact that after he finally returns he gets to be producer of the movie is probaly very cathartic for him.
RIP Yellow Ranger.
Did you miss the entire first five minutes of the video or were your knuckles too busy cracking so you could scream some unjustified self-satisfied vitriol?
@@hdunimedicalenglish0152 Take a breath, dick. The point was that she died 20 years ago with little fanfare. Nobody missed the first five minutes because they were knuckle cracking. Perhaps you should read someone's post more carefully instead of glancing over it for any reason to use your Word of the Day calander.
You do know she left like 5 years before she died so yea she was replaced long before not like she died while acting in the show and they just brushed it off. Her character left with 2 others ref and black ranger which got them all recast
I did love the tribute at the end to Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank. May that rest easy 🕊️❤

I blame this movie for his death. They invited everyone back for this but him.
@@nicripolas816 What are you talking about? They invited him to reprise his role and *he* was the one that refused...
@@LoungingPotato Really? Not that I would care for this movie anyway, but I heard differently
Yes but there are like 10 other power ranger actors who have died who deserve a tribute like the actress who played Rita repulsa in the show
RIP Tommy and Trini :(
Won't be the same without them.
I had the absolute biggest crush on Jason and Tommy when I was in elementary school. My friend and I fought over which of us was going to marry Tommy when we got older.
After his passing, a friend shared a cartoonist's illustration of Tommy's dinosaur Zord looking up at the sky and seeing clouds in the shape of the White Ranger blowing his flute. I cried buckets.
I remember when the actor who played the green ranger died less than half a year ago, and it was super awkward seeing him portrayed by an extra and talked about like he was perfectly fine while they mourned the woman who died 22 years ago.
nothing they could do, this was done filming before JDF passed away.
Yea JDF didn’t want to do the special and they were pretty much done filming and then he passed
@@r0n1nemp1re4I mean how could you top his last appearance in Ninja Steel? And besides, it would allow more screen time for the other actors, some of whom have never returned to the franchise since they left.
@@Unversed333 I hated Tommy in Dimensions In Danger. He gave no character writing for everyone else there. He had too much screen time and his side plot tarnished the actual point of the villains schemes just for us to watch him use his master Morpher and turn into even more rangers. He took away screen time and the point of the episodes. Tommy gets way too much attention
It’s not a reboot: it’s an anniversary special.
Doesn't matter, it sucks, bad XD
@@TransasaurusRex your opinion buddy
@@KarmaTS it looks like they put as little effort into it as they could, they acted like I would, sort of a "I really don't want to be here but oh well I guess" kind of acting style, it sucks 🤣

so true
Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcemt. Above my comment is a bot, he is trying to get attention from us because his mother never gave it to him so please do not reply to him even with a "I wOn'T rEaD yOuR uSerNaMe" comment because bots are stupid and this makes them think that people are actively interested with them and so just ignore and report. Have a nice day folks
Honestly…it was pretty nice to see the Rangers as adults now. The movie was nostalgic in the best ways possible ❤
To those who don't know the whole story on why JDF didn't come back as Tommy at 7:20 Hasbro stole JDF's Legend of the White Dragon movie script and said he didn't want the Tommy character anywhere near the PR special after finding out what they did, but when he died, Hasbro put him in anyway after changing the script. That's why you see Tommy lose so easily when he fought that monster. JDF never wanted a tribute from Hasbro. You can find it on TH-cam.
Hasbro did not steal any movie script. There is literally ZERO proof of that. Aason is just incapable of promoting White Dragon without trying to shit on Power Rangers.
@@JohnWilliams-cr2sz Aaron is a very talented man who has always marketed his products right. He has millions of subs and a worldwide following. Even if White Dragon didn't exist, his Beat Down series would've still been successful. Look at the viewership on his channel.
Alex - "Do you know what's been on no one's mind for 20 years? Power Rangers"
Power Rangers Fandom - "What are we? Chopped liver?"
Also, its not a reboot, its special to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary. Get facts right, Alex!
Feels like every fandom from the 90s has a genwunner ( it’s a term originally from Pokémon referring to people who don’t know anything passed generation one)
yeah clearly not knowing what the fuck hes talking about
@@EpicFableBean I mean at the end of the day, spreading misinformation for the sake of a joke will always be funnier than telling the truth.
The 90’s were 10 years ago!! Damn you !!
Ok fine. 30. 30?? I guess that makes sense as I was in grade 5 and I’m 41 now. Wow. Time flies. My youngest is in grade 5 now
@@lukebrown5395 I thought that came from Transformers not Pokemon.
They weren't just "from some other Sentai series," they were mid-season replacements of the _originals,_ which is what this is all about
Tbf that scene can be a bit confusing if you don't know about this.
Or know how the replacements look after almost 30 years
@@EvilDoresh I mean Rocky, Aisha, and Adam were in the big theatrical movie at the height of the Power Rangers craze. Most people would at least recognize them. Kat was a little later so she might cause some confusion. But even with her she was in the last season of Mighty Morphing, all of Zeo, and a good part of Turbo so most fans would recognize her as well. Realistically most people who watched this would have known them
@@MrJay-be9wh Well I _did_ watch that stuff back in the day, but I didn't pay attention to how these actors look _now_
@@EvilDoresh I have to think this was made for those who still follow PR even recent seasons that did have history since MMPR or had watched it in streaming - lots of things in the special where you at least need some background IMO.
Ironically after watching Netflix's "the Old Guard", I had the almost this same idea for a Power Rangers movie.
Only a MUCH more serious take on being a Ranger complete with burnout and PTSD for the original cast; while they mentor the new recruit(s).
Not only is it not a soft reboot of the franchise and is just an anniversary special…it’s also a direct sequel of the events that occurred in “In Space”.
I understand Power Rangers not being on your radar..but it’s been a continuing franchise that’s been steadily building its lore for decades, and has even spawned a successful multiversal comic line that’s canon.
This feels like its coming from a place of…”ignorance” is a strong word, but..that.
A 10 year old now would not like to watch some 40+ people playing power rangers with this type of quality tho 💀
@@Sakuta3220 Oh for sure
The comic continuity is separate to the show
They both have their own individual canons
@@Sakuta3220falsehood
They managed to perfectly capture the same energy from the classic show. Kudos.
They did not. It sucked.
@@wolfrainexxx They did but okay
@@XtraPlayZv Literally just watched the original with my little brother, but let your nostalgia run your life.
absolutely agree it was fantastic
For once, I actually respect that, whether the fans wanted it or not, they wanted to give Thuy the send off they felt she deserved. I mean, at the time of her death, she’d already been gone from the series too long to justify something like this. I think they were very respectful with weaving that into the storyline.
But I do agree with your point of “who was the intended target audience?” My kids aren’t into MMPR or power rangers as a whole like my husband and I are, and there’s always going to be a level of Camp Cheese when it comes to rangers anything.
Overall, I enjoyed this special. Cried like a fcking baby at the tributes at the end tho 🥲
Me to, I loved it, and yes cheesy etc but I felt so much nostalgic while watching this movie
Damn, now we need one for Tommy/JDF
The intended audience is anyone who likes Power Rangers. Old or new, just like in Super Sentai, Power Rangers is self-replicating.
10:42
My mom(an og power rangers fan)pointed that out when she saw the movie
11:00 "So anyways I started blastin'."
7:23 for anyone who is confused, the actor Jason David Frank killed himself in November of last year. May he Rest in Peace
R.I.P. to an legend 😢
Still feel like he didn’t have to mention that part even though it’s a joke
@@King-ud9dl he could have posted a fake meme that said that he had information that could have led to the arrest of Hillary Clinton"
everyone would have gotten the joke
As a fan who hasnt bothered with any of the other rangers, not only was it nice to be able to have spent an hour with people whom felt like I was catching up with old friends, it was a wonderful way to remember and honour Thui, and also give a shoutout to Jason. Plus, Amy has stated that while yes, not making as much as she'd like to come back for it, she's also 52. Reprising a role she did very early on in her career plus her own life outside of acting was something she just didn't want to be involved in. I'm actually pretty happy with this show, the horrifying cg final battle aside.
I would have also liked to see a few more cameos, but I agree entirely
Age means little to nothing anymore, I don't want to hear it
Plus! She stated she had some things in the pipeline working with MMPR for comics in the anniversary special so she’ll still be involved!
The movie isn't honoring anyone. It's a cash grab, JDF pussying out was great for this movie.
@@Mirjoxeyeedgy.
It was just an anniversary special on with an MMPR being the most iconic and their current owner linking all PR teams together into a multi-verse timeline.
Useing the “morphing grid” as the connecting base for the franchise branches.
Also in a newer series the previous teams connections took the form of small figures
4:30 WE don't age in the conventional sense. Black people are like Saiyans, we stay in our prime longer. It's about 60 we age all at once..
As most people have said, this is definitely for the fans. Yes, that means us 30yo who watched SPD, In Space, Dino Thunder and all the others. Personally my favourites were Time Force and SPD. The special was exactly what I expected and I'm glad Netflix decided to put money into it.
Me too. These are my top faves
1. MMP 2. Time Force. 3. Dino Thunder 4. Ninja Storm. 5. SPD
RPM is so slept on. That show was DARK and I loved it. I was not expecting it to have a story like that.
My favorite is mystic force
Yeah, i think they were aiming more for the people who are actually fans of the Pr franchise and not only the first season casual watching. Yes, the people who only watch the first team will enjoy it, but it feels different when you care about the franchise
mine was dino thunder
At a time when we have one terrible reboot after another, this is a pretty great anniversary special
Yeah, I think it was the best reboot/reunion I’ve seen!! I was really impressed w how genuine and relevant it felt.
Meh.
What do yoy mean reboots? Like in shows putside of power rangers or power rangers themselves?
@@Justcallmeaqua420 outside.
@@MartezAnims I typed this on my phone
I think this was a great special tbh. It's as if it never stopped airing and I just popped in again to see a great extended episode.
But it actually never stopped airing, it just changed with time.
But it never stopped airing...
Bruh power rangers has like a whole universe with over 800-900 episodes lol
When I was a kid I thought Zack was a real teenager but he was already 22 when the show started. He did age pretty slow. Just think he's like 3 years older than Rick from the walking dead.
Just a thing to remember, Amy Jo Johnson had an acting career after Power Rangers. She did come forward and say that it wasn't the pay but the script as the reason that she and Jason David Frank turned down the movie. She's going to be writing a power rangers comic for Boom in the near future.
Maybe they wanted an excuse to be a couple onscreen....
I’m telling you as a professional Filmmaker that was her polite excuse of why she wasn’t part of the project. Not only is she a sag actress but she’s an actress that’s been a main character on numerous TV shows and TV movies. The Power Rangers get paid peanuts and it looks cheesy as hell like some amateur Film. I guarantee her agent and manager would’ve told her no you’re not doing that. And she probably never gave it a second thought. The actors in this series and they’re lucky if they’re getting about 500 a day. Whereas an actress for a professional TV show is making nearly around $30-$50,000 an episode which is about 5 to 7 days of work. So yeah, it was a mix of money, and the fact that it would look really bad on your career to go back to this from the well received shows that she’s been a part of that are professionally made.
@@Faceplay2 honestly that's just sad. Yes she went places after her time on PR, which is great bc I always liked her, but it seems so snobby to be like I'm not doing that trash, I'm above that. It's a nostalgia thing, it helped launch her career, and I see no shame in joining in a one time anniversary special MEANT to be just as cheesy and stuff as the original. If it was just a badly written movie etc. that would be one thing, but they are purposefully making it that way as a throwback (almost like parody movies like Not Nother Teen Movie as an example). And I'm really surprised Jason David Frank didn't do it either given how long he did the series and how even up to his recent unfortunate passing he engaged with ppl regarding Power Rangers in a positive light, happy to delight old PR fans. I would have thought this would have been right up his alley and to think it wouldn't have wrapped up before his passing too so it would have been a nice final tribute to him.
I’ve heard about the comic book and I would’ve loved to see her in this special as much as the next person, but if this comic book she’s writing is the only thing that she’ll ever want to do with Power Rangers ever again, so be it, especially if it’s something to do with Power Rangers written by an original cast member, i’m pretty sure in spite of it being a darker retelling, that’s the appeal of JDF’s Legend of the White Dragon.
@@PinkSakuraBunnie maybe she was self conscious about being on camera....she still looks good, but maybe it felt weird being a middle aged woman doing back flips and karate kicks on camera the way she used to in her early 20s back in the 90s....
"But you know what's been on no one's mind for like 20 years, Power Rangers"
Alex, they've been making new Power Rangers almost every year since the original, and its had a loyal following the entire time.
EDIT: Also as a side note, Amy Jo Johnson officially said it wasn't about money, she said that maybe she didn't feel like dressing up in spandex at her age.
Maybe my hunch that she just doesn't want to act again and just more comfortable directing or writing maybe.
I don’t really believe that considering they totally used different actors to be in the uniforms lol
@@kaleylindsay8923 I get what you are saying, but considering that she could have easily said she wants to be paid what she's worth and fans would have agreed with her. Like John DiMaggio, she knows what bringing her back would mean to fans, so she should have been paid accordingly.
It's why I personally believe her actual reason
Finally someone says this!
Power Rangers Samurai in particular was the best and it's practically a crime to forget about it!
@@Keznen Samurai? Really? Of all Power Rangers seasons, you think *Samurai* is the best one?
I certainly did not realize this reunion was going to be a show, I definitely thought it was a sit down with the cast type of thing.
This is a win for me, when people reboot things from 20, 30 yeard ago, it's always left soulless, but this is cheesy, and campy, I love it actually.
The young actress is also a nice addition, I thought they would make her more annoying but I understood her motivations and didn't think she didn't fit or something.
1. Not a reboot, 30th anniversary special
2. The reason why it only focuses on the Mighty Morphin Team is because it’s their reunion special. The 30th anniversary season Cosmic Fury is coming later this year, but this is specifically MMPR focused
3. Rocky & Kat are from MMPR. Rocky was Jason’s replacement halfway through season 2 & Kat was Kimberly’s replacement halfway through season 3. I know this is all for fun, but I really get the idea that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Cosmic Fury is a final season not a 30th anniversary. This special is the 30th anniversary.
@@marcos-ll2yr it is the 30th anniversary season tho. Like how Overdrive is the 15th anniversary season
Finally a person who knows his stuff and I agree Alex doesn’t know his stuff. I also wrote about Rocky and KaT being in Mighty Morphing Power Rangers.There not some random people in another power rangers series. In all honesty his reviews are just awful and bizarre.
@@asimhussain8716 I think he means finale, like it’s the final season featuring the current ranger team
@@asimhussain8716 yes after cosmic fury a reboot will be realease by Netflix. Maybe 2025. The cast will be announced soon
11:36 there's always that one dumb joke that throws me into a fit of laughter and I have to pause the video
I as a casual Power Rangers viewer thought this special was pretty good. It felt kind of lonely which was sad, you could tell a lot of the cast didn’t want to comeback and that Adams actor couldn’t really do anything. But it was quite alright. I was really happy hearing Horvitz as Alpha after years of being cockblocked by randos tryin to bask in his glory, and I was really impressed by Rita’s actress, 30 years later, in her 70’s and. She can still do the voice! Incredible! It was great seeing Billy and Zack as there the only other original rangers who have yet to return for anniversary’s. I was also surprised by how darker this film was, I mean Trini gets literally killed and they say words like “Killed” a lot which I thought was a welcomed edition to da Rangers series. The ending tribute was also touching.
So yeah overall I’d give it a,
Go Go Power Rangers/ 10
"It felt kind of lonely which was sad, you could tell a lot of the cast didn’t want to comeback and that Adams actor couldn’t really do anything"
Say what now?
@@dylansharp8471 Yeah Adam? The other black ranger was practically doing nothing throughout the special.
Exactly and the movie was made for people like you. This Alex guy just gets irritated by anything.
Its cool that Rocky and Kat were a part of this special as well as some of the OGs.
The team is literally made up each Season
Zack is S1, Rocky is S2, Kat is S3, Minh is this special, and Billy is Mighty Morphin as a whole.
As a Power Rangers fan, yes, we have wanted something like this. And yes, I loved the special. It 100% brought me back to being a child.
Yeah this kid makes some dumb comments
Eh, I am a '90s kid who was obsessed with MMPR and even went through a phase as an adult of being into the show again (even wrote some fanfic where the character based on me ends up with Billy, who was my crush 😂), but I definitely didn't want this.
@@englishatheart To each their own. As someone who still watches PR and Toku shows in general, this was great and everyone I've talked to has loved it too.
Capturing the power rangers to turn them into action figures is the most power rangers plot I've heard in years
Brought to you by Mattel..... probably
@@jarethlarwood6445 It's Hasbro. Not Mattel.
9:27 Wait, when did they make a new robot?
You don't wanna know
It's a long story
12:10 DON'T TALK SHIT ON HIP HOP KIDO
This guy does know Power Rangers has been an ongoing, interconnected story for 30 years right? They didn't just suddenly decide to bring back a bunch of characters nobody has heard from since 1997.
Alex: "You know what's been on no one's mind for 20 years? Power Rangers."
The Power Rangers Community: Guess I'll just die.
I haven't watched since Power Rangers Time Force came and went back in 2001. So to be quite honest, I didn't look back (and haven't really) I didn't realize it was still airing on TV until I saw a couple of Dino Thunder clips on TH-cam. While it does have a special place in my heart, I couldn't honestly care about it now. 🤷🏻♀
Tbf anything after Disney era was mid af and the community is like 30 y.o. manchildren
Indeed. What differs from all other reboots and sequels is that Power Rangers never ended. It kept going, and moved on. This is just revisitting the past, which still feels right.
And calling Rocky and Kat from "some other sentai show"?
@@__utama6351 true but the neo saban era did still attract its target audience, as i enjoyed watching it. Not ninja steel though, couldnt tell you why though
That exists still? Haven't heard anything about it in years
It was honestly great. You had to be there in the 90s to feel the magic they where going for.
This was on people’s minds because there is an entire genre of fans that follow and all cared when JDF passed. And we all felt this was a great send of for Thuy. It was easy to fall back into the fun of it all. Before I knew I was cheering for the action.
It was great and fun.
The fact that it felt like an episode from the original series is what made me love it so much! It was horrible and incredible and sooooooo worth the 58 minutes it took to watch.
Affirmative
That's what I hoped for for this anniversary and that's what I got. I loved it
Pretty much yeah, its what made it so brilliant
@@SnowWolf2150 Basically, yeah. But it's glorious!
@@SnowWolf2150 well, yes but no. It's a lenghty episode with more emotional beats and growth but it kinda follows the same structure as a normal episode
It wasn’t horrible it was pretty damn good
Speak for yourself dude. As a 33 year old, I absolutely loved this. Not everything has to be tongue in cheek, self aware stuff. Plenty of that already.
Exactly! This movie was pretty damn good
I'm 38. Been a fan since episode one. Got hooked when Jason David Frank entered the cast (rest in peace to him) and am still a fan today. I have the anniversary video ready to view as anything with the original cast (or even the in space rangers were also a favorite of mine) I will gladly watch.
Same, I'm 21 and I Still Love Power Rangers
This exactly. I'm about to be 28, and the way I sat in my room actually SCREAMING in excitement at the entire Megazord sequence, let me tell you
I literally stayed up past midnight where I live to watch this and I was NOT disappointed at all
“Snapchat Snapchat whatsapp snapchat whatsapp” gives me the same vibe as the seagulls from Nemo. Also it’s so terribly accurate
We put this movie in for my kids. I had no idea it would have the original cast. I was so excited to see them all!
At least this special knew exactly what it needed to be.
13:53 But he did not.
Alex do u think you’re the only adult in his 30s who never matured past 12, there’s a whole fandom of us adult power ranger fans who never let go of this show and loved this special, hence why it’s topping Netflix
@Prestin Hurshberry you make yourself sound very foolish with that comment.
@Prestin Hurshberry I'm not talking about the number, I'm talking about lumping a whole generation into why everything is wrong nowadays.
@Prestin Hurshberry Actually, assholes who expect people to give up all their childhood loves just because they're older are what's wrong with the world. Life should not be about working your life away just to make someone else rich. No one should have to pay to exist since we have no choice over that. But since we're forced to work life away, we should be allowed to find enjoyment any way we can that doesn't harm anyone or anything. Age expectations are nothing but social constructs. The only age related things we should follow is not having sex as kids or with kids. If more adults would realize they don't have to make themselves miserable because society expects them to, maybe life wouldn't be so shit.
I take this as like a class reunion.
Just as in real life for us normal folks...there will always be those who don't want to come to the class reunion.
I respect Kimberly's reason for not coming. Whatever her reason was.
But for the cast who did come back...I am sure they enjoyed it.
I think you've missed the whole point of the special. And it's because you are not familiar with the original 3 seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
The red and pink rangers are both in the original run. The original red, yellow and black rangers were replaced in season 2. And the pink was replaced in season 3. The newer red ranger also appears in the original movie.
Power Rangers is famously silly, corny, cheesy, and maybe even cringy. But that's probably why people (especially kids) like it.
And yes, Adults do actually watch the newer stuff. Maybe becuase it's a form of escapism.
It's a love letter to the characters and the original version of the show. It is a longer episode exactly how it would have been if it came out 30ys ago, which is the perfect way to do it! It takes us as fans who watched as kids right back to them, with all of the stupidity, terrible acting, plot holes, campiness, and overall a fun adventure! Absolutely loved it!
you clearly were involved in the movie. it was terrible
@@jmgraydz I finally got to see the Megazord fighting in CGI instead of those stupid megazord suits
So...I gotta say...I was satisfied.
I loved it
Apparently the ranger's powers can turn a 8 years old kid into a teenager in the Turbo movie so making adults loose weight is possible. This magic is really strong!
Lol
It can also make an alien with a dog head fit on a human helmet... The morphers' "magic" is way too advanced for us mere mortals hahaha
@@elendoy woah brutal but true
Wasn't there also a robot character on the team in one of the series, with him being just as human as the rest of them while morphed?
Let's not forget Zenowing's beak having space inside the helmet. Despite the fact that it's big and pronounced.
Also... I feel really sorry for Billy's actor, what he had to endure back than with Depression and all. Also I don't know what he was up to this point and in what fields he worked if at all... But damn... He really "acted" like every inch of energy and life was drained from his body. Like... If this had been a low budget school film, that would have been the performance I'd expect from someone who had their first acting lesson. He didn't emote, he didn't know what to do with his hands... It's like they called him a day or two before shooting and his cat died the day before and he needed some money for the funeral.
I really had fun with the special over all. But I can't stop to feel just bad for Billy s actor... Maybe he didn't act in a long time or something else was up, but man...
I wouldn't say that.
If you not the original ranger fan, maybe you wouldn't enjoy this special. I actually have a nostalgia watching this. Of course it's not that good or up to standard but, for me, I enjoyed watching this with my wife and son. Maybe it was just me.
Is it weird I'm actually excited that it centered more around the yellow ranger? She was my favorite as a kid and all the other girls were like 'ew why?' ...like obviously she's the prettiest, she gets her own color (not just a shade of a 'boy' color) and she's a frickin saber tooth tiger! They always relegated her character to the BG and it bugged me. Nice to see in the 30th that they focused on the 'less popular' characters even if it was because they basically didn't have a choice 🥲
Yeah it's pretty awesome that it was centered around yellow ranger! Trini and Jason were my favorite rangers
(Those girls didn't know what they were talking about)
I was rewatching some of the original show and I think Trini and Jason had the best acting of the group. I can see why they were ur faves as a kid. You had good taste!
My faves were Pink and Blue but it’s hard to back them as an adult bc the acting is so bad.
It really felt like a meaningful way to honour the original show and the yellow ranger and actor who played her. I really appreciated that aspect. 💛
I found my people. Trini was always my favorite. Yellow ranger was awesome and yeah SABERTOOTH TIGER!
At least some later series didn't sideline theirs. Emily, the yellow ranger from Power Rangers Samurai, had at least whole episode centering around her.
11:30 im sorry i cant💀
LOL how did you NOT mock the puttys just...looking at people? MENACINGLY! Like, 10:53 look at how they are moving towards these already COWERING people. They're just...weirdly dancing towards them hahahah
I love it I'm 38 feeling like a kid again i know the movie seems lame but i love it like being a kid again seeing them original power ranger
Rip green and yellow rangers😢😢😢
I think, maybe, that "wow, this is silly," energy might have been what they were going for. That feeling has some entertainment value in it's own right, and the fact that it feels "just like a classic episide" is kinda cool.
Its* own right.
You look like that A applemonger
You actually poked the beehive of all Power Rangers fans. The entire franchise is bigger than you could have ever imagined. Entertaining review though 👍
Lmao what beehive, everyone in these comments are positive
Making fun of Power Rangers is part of loving it when you're an adult.
I declare this shit is GOOFY, as I sit here with an MMPR Megazord figure guarding my shelf next to Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Goofy, I tell you.
@@ryanparker4996 watch something like in space or time force, the goofy factor isn't there as much.
Rocky and Kat were both Red and Pink rangers respectively in the original Mighty morphin, but a bit later on in that series. They were not from later teams, they actually are technically part of the OG team. They actually have EVERYONE in this movie. So idk what you mean by "no one else wanted to be in it." They were! Adam and Aisha(Who were Black and Yellow rangers in the latter parts of the Original Mighty morphin) were small roles but still in. Kimberly didn't want to be in it yea. But other than that it was just unforeseen circumstances. And they did a decent job keeping the "missing" rangers still in the story.
I believe the only rangers that didn't change before they changed the team/outfits entirely were Tommy and Billy.
How’s is this a reboot or even a soft reboot?
Reboot is a word that's becoming misused.
I've always been a fan of Power Rangers, and you'd be surprised how active the fandom and the brand still are.
This has been something I've definitely been waiting for.
yup he's just out of the loop. . this was perfectly timed . . and so was JDF's death. . .dont you think.
@Game Drop I mean, it's perfectly fine if he's out of the loop, I always like seeing people's thoughts things they're unfamiliar with.
Just so long as they do at least some research.
It was terrible, the fans deserve better
@@gamedrop3262 not really. The film already had a set release date and the filming finished before JDFs passing it's just a terrible and sad coincidence
Right, Many people still like Power Rangers even if it consider to be for kids.
This is not a reboot... this is an anniversary special XD
That was one scare successfully survived...
No show defined my childhood life power rangers. I loved this special.
And if nothing else, it's a beautiful tribute to Trang and Frank.
This movie is a MMPR 30 year reunion and it's also a tribute to the first season!!!!
I enjoyed the special. For a fan like me who enjoys continuity and character progression it's good to see what the MMPR team have been up since the end of In Space like Billy having his own tech company, Aisha and Adam being part of SPD, etc.
It was just nice to see the old gang back together. RIP Thuy Trang and JDF.
😂😂 what progression Rita and Zordon were destroyed makes no sense to continue mighty morphing should have just created new powers
@@pleaseshutup7053 Read my comment again.
@@pleaseshutup7053 lmao are you slow? Rita plays with the time continuum
I enjoyed when the guy was like “help! They’re after my boyfriend!” 😂😂😂
@@pleaseshutup7053 can you please just take your usernames advice and shut the fuck up? you've done nothing but be a clown and an ass in these replies for no reason. if you didnt like it, you didnt like it. let us, the ones that actually care about the franchise and like it watch and enjoy in peace.
I don’t know you but this was great. This is what the fans of original have been waiting for. It was one of epic things ever. I’m so glad they bought back Zack, Billy, Kat and Rocky one more time to become power rangers again. I for one would like to see a sequel. It was one of the best things that ever came out of Power Rangers. This was for the fans. It was a great tribute to the late JDF and Thay. I hope that they make a sequel to this.
I don't know about "the best." I liked the hyper realistic version with Dacre Montgomery more than this. The nostalgia felt artificial to me, idk to explain it
Kat 👎👎👎👎👎👎
Could be the last time we see these characters unless they do a sequel.
Billy’s having a flying car isn’t really something new tho. He’s always had a flying Buggy. This is just an updated version and most definitely a call back to the original episodes.
Alex, the series is still on.. the fans of the show love it, so its for kids and for them. youre funny as always, but I think some research would give you the info about the current state of Power Rangers and why it is a big deal to get this special. anyway, great video
That Rena lady is truly the stuff of nightmares 🥴
Edit: I just looked up what happened to Jason Frank and I wish I hadn’t either 💔

My farts are better than Alex Meyers’ farts.
So many bots
@@Pirategod23 I just saw the same comment like 5 times
I don't normally cry openly about celebrity deaths, but Jason was one I shed tears over.
What I like about Power Rangers is that it's super wholesome. I put it on for my 9yo and it held his attention. I was a child of 80s so missed the Power Rangers trend. I always thought it was just a lame show. But as a parent my older kids got into Power Rangers Samurai when they were younger and that when I came to appreciate the shows. It has overacting, cheesy jokes, crazy villan costumes and pretty cool fight scenes, but that makes it quality pantomime and the character transformation sequences are fun and you just want to learn their moves too (well I did as a parent 😂).
Samurai is seen as one of the least favored seasons by the fandom, so if you want a bit less cheesy (but still cheesy enough) I recommend watching seasons like Dino Thunder and Ninja Storm.
Power Rangers Samurai was the best!
@@prestinhurshberry8417 power rangers started in 1993.
@Prestin Hurshberry Super Sentai and Power Rangers are not the same brand
@@prestinhurshberry8417 Zyuranger is from '92, not the 80s.
It is also not the same show as MMPR. For one, Bandora and Rita have nothing in common aside from their appearance.
This was a fantastic special and Rita was savage AF! I loved it!
I'm a Power Rangers fan and loved this special, so I was slightly apprehensive about watching this video when it came through my feed. But it's actually a really good insight into what this special is like to people outside of the Power Rangers fandom. I don't agree with everything you said, but you raise a lot of good points. At the end of the day though, sure it was cheesy, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.
So this special was for the cast as a reunion, as best as they can, and for the fans who grew up with mmpr, and still have a love for it, it's what it needed to be, and is exactly what a lot of fans wanted
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Except for the scabs
10:37 STOP!!! 😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣
What I didn't like about the anniversary special was the fact that David Yost (Billy) lacked a lot of enthusiasm when he would morph into his Power Ranger suit. And the fact that he acted way too soft towards Minh (sort of)
just how you snarkily tear apart these movies is why i keep comming back. like MST3k for nostalgia.
Regarding the fact that the Red Ranger lost weight after morphing, I think it's fair to say that's a possibility considering that in Power Rangers: Turbo the movie when the blue range gets injured, a kid named Justin takes over, and when he morphs his body also changes to match the body type of the average ranger despite being a child that was only about 13 or 14
A lot of people don't seem to understand morphing like you do.
You do understand this is a 30th anniversary movie, as a tribute to it's 30 years since the series premiered, while at the same time it's also a tribute to Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank, right? This is why the movie was made.
and also it is still in the same universe not a reboot
@Balmung yes to back up his statment yes that is something you need
I guess Alex would think if they made a Simpsons special, that would be a reboot as well.
@@balmung7599if he had more than that he’d realize that power rangers is still a very much active franchise
I think he only wants views, and don't even search about anything.
The last episode of MMPR aired a month before I was born. I've been a fan all my life. To get to wake up to new MMPR content as an adult was an absolute treat! It felt like I was taken back in time. All the stuff YOU find cheesy, power rangers fans expect. It's cheesy, always has been, always will be. Yes, I'd love it to be aged up for me, be more serious and get darker, but that's not gonna sell toys or appeal to kids (the true demographic for this franchise) so I take what I can get. There are comics and other media that get into that stuff. JDFs movie is still going to release at some point. But for a 25th anniversary special of a children's TV series, I thought it did pretty well.
15:50I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO NAMY SCOTT IS, I ONLY WATCH IT BECAUSE BECKY G CUTE SELF WAS IN IT AND IT WASN'T JUST ALRIGHT, IT WAS AWESOME SAUCE
Harvey Garvey is actually an easter egg.
He was a reporter who appeared in a single episode of MMPR. He was played by the same actor who went on to voice Ninjor in season three of MMPR.
Kind of a morbid easter egg
@@jamescallanan2443 At least it’s not because the actor died. That’s actually why I looked it up and much to my delight, Kim Strauss is alive, well, and working as of 2021.
There were other reasons why Amy Jo couldn’t join, a big one was she couldn’t take the month off to go to film in New Zealand since she has some other projects as a director coming up so it’s not too fair to say it was JUST for moneys sake, though if someone wants to be paid more for their work good on them
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IM FINALLY FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 9:05
Not the "Ranger Milk" 🤣🤣🤣 6:59
I'm surprised they haven't done a animated theatrical movie for this franchise like they're doing with TMNT. To me I think Power Rangers can work well in animation.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!! WHY! WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING THEM LIVE-ACTION???
Disney tried doing that but then sold the franchise back to Saban
I think it was rumoured that the Japanese company that they license it from forbade them doing any kind of animated movie or series.
If you want an example of what it could look like though, check out the anime Fuuto PI. It's pretty graphic in places, but it's a literal sequel to a live action superhero series in the same vein as Power Rangers.
That would be cool
@@lavasharkflowers Because the show Power Rangers is created from is live action. To make Power Rangers into a cartoon would completely miss the point.
power rangers is still going actually. New team and season every year. the car flew in the original show too. I love how much attention to detail they put into this movie. Like, adam and aisha are in space setting up what would become power rangers SPD because that show took place in 2025 so we should be catching up to it. Love it. Also the second red and pink rangers are the second red and pink rangers from the second season of mighty morphin power rangers. Half of the cast left and was replaced with new characters. Also I can tell you exactly who this movie was for. It was made for fans who watched the original and still watch the new seasons as they come out. I personally loved this movie and didn't have any complaints about it. It was awsome. But I also think the latest season of power rangers, "Power Rangers Dino Fury" was awsome. Because this was a show I grew up with as a kid and I still love it to this day for all that it is, including the cheesiness. and I cant wait for the next season to come out! Lord zedd is back as the villain and theres even gonna FINALLY be an actual orange ranger! Anyways, loved the video as always Alex. It was hilarious and I love seeing what other people think about movies I've watched.
Maybe you haven’t been paying attention but power rangers has actually been pretty popular again the last 5 years. Boom studios released an awesome comic series that has sold well, and they even have a new game coming out this year lol.
