Action-Adventure Power Rangers 4.0 - Part 2

[Primal Slayer]

I wonder if people assumed she was recast by Tanya.

That whole thing was funny.

Aisha - you must go on your child quest to find your zeo crystal where you will decide that you are needed in Africa so you will send this rando back in your place to fight the war against evil....and also live with your family.

Yeah that was baaaaaad writing.

I made it seem like Tommy was my favorite Ranger as a kid but deep down I know my favorite was actually Kimberly. She was my first real crush and I use the word "real" literally because before her it was Ariel, Belle and Jasmine. Also I pretty much lost interest in Power Rangers after she left the show so what does that tell you?

Bowed out before best pink ranger.

I still implore you guys to catch Kakuranger if you ever get the opportunity.

SO good and still my favorite super sentai season.



That was some bull what they did to Aisha.

Its on Tubi. Along with the rest of the seasons Shout Factory has. I wish they would figure out how to bring more over, though given what Toei seems to be charging for Kamen Rider, maybe not.

Did Aisha turn back to a teen or no?

Because Rocky was no one's favorite character. The most memorable thing he did was breaking his back in the most dumbass way.



EDIT: I should also clarify that I've got nothing against Rocky but he was brought in after it was decided that Tommy should lead the group and as a result he just fell in line as opposed to Jason being a friendly rival to Tommy.

Jen, my beloved!

Probably my favorite Pink Ranger of all time. Also loved that Jen was super competent to the point where, even though Wes as the Red Ranger was technically the leader, the series pretty always deferred to her to lead and give orders to the rest of the team. Even back then before I developed all of my current beliefs and views, I thought that was super cool. Also, I put this and RPM as having arguably some of the better acting in any of the Power Rangers series. And it has a Dan Southworth playing the main rival pre-Vergil from Devil May Cry.

Of course, this little part from the Wild Force/Time Force annual crossover lives rent free in my head, for no particular reason. Nope, none. Mmhm. (Starts at 17:56):



I’m just realizing in real time, between her and Trinity, I really had a thing for competent, badass women kicking ass in black leather/latex back then. In hindsight, it really explains so much of my current taste in women and figuring out who I really am.

Jen’s entrance in Reinforcements form the Future was so badass. Was always obsessed with her and Time Force as whole but that moment really cemented her as the ultimate badass for me.

As for the originals, I was always a Jason fan. Those tanktops were an awakening for me … but he also a great ranger. Which makes it all the more sad that the actor is now a criminal.

Also, you know, wanted to sell Hitler quotes on a tshirt.

Did Aisha turn back to a teen or no?

She did. And then people forgot about her until the 2023 Netflix special “Once a Ranger.”

She was in the worst position.
Didnt date Tommy like Kim/Kat
Wasnt the OG Yellow Ranger
Wasnt a red ranger
Didnt have any connections to anyone else outside of the OGs.

I was 10 back in 1997– Justin was an amazing choice to get in the show. Now we can complain about Blake Foster all day long but 10 year old me was jealous he was in Turbo.

At least he's built to be a Ranger now.

Kanye was a Power Ranger?

Knowing about all the s**t he went through back in the day because of his sexual orientation, and after all other cast members from the various other shows becoming problematic and controversial, it’s nice to see someone who isn’t a complete piece of s**t or total loon make a comeback, get the recognition he rightfully deserves and be completely thriving. Not to mention, out of all the still living original cast members, he, along with Amy Jo Johnson and Walter Emmanuel Jones, have probably aged the best.

Good on you, David!

The good news is that he did come back as Billy for Once and Always and Cosmic Fury. Most likely he had heard that Dino Fury had an LGBT character and came back to play Billy when he heard that the creatives behind Dino Fury would be involved in Once and Always and Cosmic Fury.

Plus it was a union shoot. MMPR - PRT were non union productions, meaning that the actors got a salary— not paid per episode, no set hours, no residuals from reruns they were in. Add in those working conditions without SAG plus the crew harassment pretty much deterred Yost away for a very long time.

There is also a quick scene in Once and Always of a gay couple being rescued from an attack. which was nice.

Power Rangers really does not get credited enough for it’s progressiveness in pushing for diversity and inclusion. If it wasn’t for that, I think the world would look quite different.

yeah, I saw quite a few Cosmic Fury actors in other projects, like I saw one of them on NCIS Hawaii.

Once and Always was a David/Billy idea and largely why it existed.

 

[Lily Adler]

Male Pink Ranger and Female Red Ranger! The time is now!

I did hear about that.

I wanted him to return as an adult and return as a Ranger. He needs redemption.

 

[Sithborg]

The problem is that he is from Turbo. Which isn't MMPR.

 

[mclay18]

Trini and Tommy died, Jason is a crook, Billy was prejudiced out of a job, and Zack is missing a finger.

Walter had that prior to MMPR, due to an accident as a kid. I remember meeting him at Rangerstop 2019 and noticed it when he was signing. He, ASJ and some of the NZ era actors were very popular the days I was there.

They even did a Rangers After Dark panel (no video or audio)— he actually twerked when he came in with his boombox.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I was amazed when I found out as an adult because....you never notice as a child
