Linkara [HOPR] Power Rangers RPM Part 1

[@slowpokea]

True go onger was very goofy

[@MyEmeraldLife]

This is the type of Power Rangers/ "darker" story telling I wanted as a kid (Outside of Power Rangers, Gargoyles was my favorite show at 4 years old if that tells you anythign)😬

[@Pineappolis]

It tells me you were a 4 year old of exceptional taste. More to the point, I'm a sucker for this style of dark story, from a spectrum starting at the Galactica Remake (first half, certainly), through Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, through this and even to A:TLA despite it being _mostly_ a fun, vibrant romp: _very_ dark backstory, dark overall situation to overcome that necessitates dark moments and, certainly in the case of Galactica, flawed characters given just how damaged they are, but with still with a real sense that people are doing their damn best in spite of it all. I'll take that over, "everyone is awful, often for no reason," _every_ time. It's hard to write because it's hard to put yourself in the shoes of people who experienced what the characters have to know what works as flaws while keeping them believably sympathetic but, when you _do_ get it right, it's usually outstanding.

[@Shogundoxie1414]

RPM was PEAK Power Rangers. Great writing, great acting, great character for every ranger (especially Ziggy, Dillon and even Dr K), great humour, highest stakes, and a menacing villain that actually brought humanity to the brink of extinction. It was so dark and intense for Power Rangers and I loved it. It got to the point where I don't even watch other PR seasons anymore, I just revisit RPM every now and then

[@sonicfanatik]

If Linkara ever re-records this, I'd want him to expand on the demos of the theme even more; specifically the one that was performed by Dan Avidan. I can hear it now, "Yes; Danny Sexbang of Ninja Sex Party and Game Grumps... Made a Power Rangers demo theme. Small world, huh?"

[@Silkl4sh]

RPM is a greatest example of turning something really fucking stupid into a great and mature power ranger series

[@jonfoster5685]

For me, this is absolutely a stand alone series. Almost every other incarnation of Power Rangers is trying to save humanity from impending doom. Here, it happened. The Power Rangers didn't save the day. The heroes didn't come in time. Humanity is hanging on by a thread at one last city Matrix style, only to find that the one who creates their Rangers to save us all from annihilation is in fact the one who doomed them in the first place. I loved the twist, the opening song was perfect for the gritty tone. The fan opening was perfect for the Senti version, it would have never worked for RPM's much darner tone. Looking at the comical Zords was puzzling enough to me back then, add a light and spritely jingle and I'm gone. At least the actors really brought the reality of the situation to life. Especially Olivia Tennet's Dr. K. So burdened with her creations atrocities against humanity, determined to do whatever it takes to kill the virus before it kills us all. Yeah, we haven't felt that kind of anxiety since Tommy kicked the rest of the Rangers asses for 5 episodes straight. Despite the Zords, this is my favorite incarnation writing wise. The rest were cookie cutter compared to RPM.

[@wchan39]

Yeah, the demo theme would've worked better if RPM was a more closer adaptation of Go-Onger instead.

[@ashhabimran239]

"The rest were cookie cutter compared to RPM". It's gotten to the point where I don't even watch other PR seasons anymore, I just revisit RPM, they just pale compared to this

[@Dimensioneer88]

35:30 In this shot, we briefly see Fresno Bob and Santa Claus in the same shot. Fittingly prophetic because Fresno Bob's actor would later play Santa in the Neo-Saban seasons.

[@taylormansonshadicstorm9008]

Flynn is one of my favourite Blue Rangers. His actor manages to make a very convincing Scottish accent, despite not actually being Scottish.

[@RDMANGLEYT]

There is a reason dr k designed the RPM suits the way she did design them. As shown in the series she was kidnapped after men in black saw her with a little girl when she was about 5 years old, because she was able to calculate extreme mathematics, and then taken to a goverment facility named "alphabet soup". She was manipulated to believe she was sick and couldn't go outside. And she was instructed to work on ranger tech and since she was kidnapped as a child she never had a proper childhood so she designed the ranger tech to reflect what she could have had before she was taken away. This is basically her using her imagination. I wont give anymore info on that because that would spoil things more than i already did

[@daelen.cclark]

He mentions that backstory in a later part. It's interesting to think that Dr. K made the ranger suits as colourful as possible in response, and defiance, to the men in black that originally took her.

[@RDMANGLEYT]

@@daelen.cclark yea but it makes sence for her to put these into the ranger tech for how she never had a child hood so she made the designs kid like

Little Dylan detail I noticed is how he takes a very small sip before giving the flower water in the first episode, desperate but still kind to the world, but in the last episode he has the spare to give any of the dozens of flowers he finds water, helping not only propagate life, but also allowing Dylan to sustain himself and the two with him, meaning it shows that he’s less boarder-line S*icidal tendencies with how much he throws himself at danger

[@101Draico]

[@pokehunterhd]

"I judge the the theme for its overall quality not how much it matches the show" *listens to mystic force theme* "When you think of a series about magic and mystisism,does your mind turn to Hip-Hop" *folds arms, lowers 1 eye-brow and raises the other* 

[@ericemanwu]

Yes, and then he said, "there's no energy to it, nothing there to get the viewer pumped if something awesome is happening." It's not just that it doesn't fit for him, but that he didn't think it was good.

[@xgray2012]

pokehunterhd Actually, he later mentioned in part one of his HOPR - Mystic Force videos that "There is no energy to it. Nothing there that would get the viewers pumped if something awesome is about to happen!" So yeah, it's that the official theme song for Mystic Force didn't actually fit him, it's just he didn't think it was all that good to begin with. Now, in my opinion. I personally don't actually like the Mystic Force official theme song because to me, it felt like Disney was belatedly pandering to the "urban" audience of kids that watch Power Rangers and trying to make it all "hip!" and "with it!!" like they think they've actually reach out the Black community by adding in more multi-cultural music in various Power Rangers themes?!?!? Uh no!!! That doesn't work like that, especially in Power Rangers. I mean, if you wanted to add a hip-hop song into a Power Rangers season, then its' best if it actually worked as an insert song when the rangers aren't fighting the monsters or as an ending theme song. But never an opening theme song. Case in point....the NickToons short-lived animated series, "Voltron Force". It also had a Hip-Hop opening theme song, but it really didn't match the tone of the actual show. I mean people who knew about or grew up watching Voltron, they'd expect to hear the classic theme song from the original. Not a discount Will.I.Am Hip-Hop song. Bottom-line, the opening theme of Mystic Force just didn't work for some fans nowadays. If you liked it, fine. More power to you. But for people like me and Linkara, we did not like it because it didn't really give almost everyone, the excitement of waiting for something awesome to happen in the show. That's about it.

[@danilang3504]

pokehunterhd Linkara is full of sh*t.

[@xgray2012]

Dane Lang Well, I would argue that not all of Linkara's resources are accurate. But, as far as his reviews go, some of them are based on just his feelings about how he reacting to certain things such as the use of a hip-hop theme in Mystic Force over a traditional rock theme for the opening sequence of that show. But to be fair on one thing, the hip-hop theme for Mystic Force really didn't actually get its' target audience pumped or excited for the next episode every time the show came on the air back then. It just felt like something you'd hear from a Black-Eyed Peas album. That's about it!

You know, I think I know of a way that the talking Zords could be implemented into RPM. By having it that each of the Zords have an individual A.I, that has the job of assisting the rangers in fighting Venjix. Dr. K could have also uploaded a firewall into the A.I. For each zord, to prevent them from being taken over by Venjix.

I can’t believe that an alternate universe is the setting for a Power Ranger season to finally have military involvement outside of lost galaxy, which if you go by the DRPR Version of the PR timeline, lost galaxy and rpm take place in the same continuity. I’m just gonna go with that version of the continuity. I mean, the original pitch for RPM was for the series to take place on Mirinoi from lost galaxy. So, I guess jake a.k.a. database ranger took that idea and ran with it. He incorporated it around the 20 or 30 episode Mark, and he’s added his own spin to it.

[@kamenridergenius820]

Hayden I would say power rangers rpm is of the one of the better seasons of power rangers because it's actually pretty good and nowadays we barely see any good seasons and dino fury is not the best season of power rangers but it's OK.

[@michaelnally2841]

Also a series where citizens and people are shown to die and stay dead as well as other things you wouldn’t think power rangers would touch like indoctrination like Doctor K or mutaliation like Tenya

[@Robbinson98]

Honestly, I've never really understood why people consider the actual RPM theme more fitting than the fan favored demo track. Sure, it's a darker song, but RPM is ultimately a pretty hopeful series, a soaring pop punk song fits a lot more thematically imo. Plus, pop punk blew up in the 90s around the same time Power Rangers did, so it works as a full circle theme for the intended final season.

[@Pineappolis]

It's an interesting one. 'Dark setting and backstory/sparks of hope that can't be extinguished and ultimately triumph' is one of my favourite kinds of storytelling but it's _very_ hard to keep the tone in balance. I prefer the demo too (even if I feel the lyrics could use another draft) but I can definitely see people coming down the other way.

[@gokairedwillcipher]

WHAT

[@codenate02]

I've never understood the argument that the demo was too "happy" for RPM because RPM is supposed to be dark and gritty. Because honestly, RPM ISN'T dark and gritty. It has its moments, the post-apocalyptic premise is darker than your typical PR season, but the show NEVER shies away from the fact that it's Power Rangers. You've got rangers fighting with baby carriages, "I'm Scottish!", the fourth-wall breaks, "that is not spandex", basically Ziggy's entire character, etc.

[@Pineappolis]

It's a good point. Similarly to Lewis pointed on in his Time Force review that there's a difference between having a sympathetic backstory and actually _being_ sympathetic, there's a distinct difference between having a grim, gritty backstory and setting and actually being grim or gritty in your storytelling. Look at Fullmetal Alchemist (the manga/Brotherhood, anyway) - the protagonists' backstory is utterly horrifying, several of the other _heroes_ were recently complicit in an act of genocide and the forces pushing the nation towards some unspecified but definitely unpleasant fate appear all but unstoppable for most of the run. Yet, while it too has its moments (oh, my Christ, does it have its moments), the narrative itself is utterly awash with themes of redemption, the futility of revenge and the merit of sticking to your ideals even when they can seem almost childish in the face of all the world can throw at you.

[@daelen.cclark]

I'll be commenting this when Lewis does the remake of this video himself, but I love how Dr. K's reveal is the antithesis of the Wizard of Oz's "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" bit. She wants them to see behind the curtain and to see the real her.

[@Maswartz226]

I'm guessing when he gets around to the remake of this season he'll cut most of the starting rant off.

[@luishernandezsoto]

Don't know about that, but I'm not too surprised if he did.

[@RB-xl1nd]

17:27 so 3 entire continents decimated .... that's 1 in 10 people killed. That leaves 9 in 10 alive?

[@blaizecontee7093]

Go thing he’s not 100 percent human because if he was he would be meeting zordon

[@AbyssPrime]

I would love to see an days of future past type of story woth might morphin rpm and time force

[@christopherauzenne5023]

Great series, but I am surprised the show didn’t lean more into the car aspect. Like you said the show took influence from 80s post apocalypse movies and while it is leaning more towards terminator/robot apocalypse, they could have easily also added a mad max element to it more especially with the desert ruins of the world. Like the scene introduced Dillon & ziggy, that mad max asthetic is on full display so maybe they could have haded some missions of them scavenging the desert

31:51 I’m surprised Linkara overlooked the episode “Ancient History” where Tenaya finds a broken “Operation Overdrive” helmet.

[@fromthecheapseats7126]

10:04 Linkara’s delivery is so perfect.

40:09 how old was this kid back then? she's so adorable (for a child genius)🤣

Disney was going to have a animated power rangers series. henshinjustice.com/2012/07/30/power-rangers-animated/

Who the f puts a cannon in a freezer???

[@gokairedwillcipher]

Dr. K apparently

[@donkeyman9992]

I’m actually on the opposite end of the spectrum, and advocate for reboots, if only specifically for superhero comics. Namely because writing sensibilities/standards for comics have changed pretty dramatically since the 60s (or hell the 30s) and it’s nice to get updated versions of those stories that new readers can get into. Like seriously, I do not know how ppl nowadays can read Ditko era Spider-Man unironically. I tried, and I just can’t, and that example probably aged the BEST out of any gold/silver age comic.

[@dylansharp8471]

"Like seriously, I do not know how ppl nowadays can read Ditko era Spider-Man unironically. I tried, and I just can’t, and that example probably aged the BEST out of any gold/silver age comic" Why's that?

[@donkeyman9992]

@@dylansharp8471 Probably better than other silver age stories at the time, but it still suffers from a lot of antiquated writing styles for comics at the time: characters talking in unrealistic exclamations, characters describing an action you can clearly see on the art, plus just an overall sense of cartoonish-ness and one-dimensionality (especially for spidey's rogue's gallery) that makes me tilt my head when writers like Mark Millar and Alan Moore praise said era, and cite it as a source of inspiration during their tenures with the characters (in Mark Millar's case anyways)

Anyone notice the logo on the morpher? It kinda reminds me of overdrives logo

Is Corinth fuckin Chicago?!

[@alexandertelson3713]

Or massachusets

[@johndavidtibbetts7320]

So do we know WHY RPM went with the sentai footage it used? Like did they have no choice? Did Disney pick the first Sentai show name they could find out of a hat and tell Eddie to get over it? I'm just saying, considering the uh, "colorful" nature of his response to the zords, choosing literally any other show might have made things easier

[@lukejones7164]

Its because up until Dino Charge, Power Ranger always adapts seasons of Super Sentai in the exact order of release, they've been doing this MMPR season 1 (which adapted Zyuranger) . Go Onger (RPM) came right after Gekiranger (Jungle Fury), that's why it was used.

[@estebangutierrez160]

And since Power Rangers was moved to Nickelodeon, the show has to have 20 or so episodes per season. Meaning that Power Rangers where very slow about adapting certain Sentai.

[@jeremydale4548]

Thankfully Nick is no longer a factor. Their asinine season length rule is stupid enough on its own. But then Samarui suffered them showing the series out of order for NO FUCKING REASON! Seriously, whoever made THAT call should be banished from the Entertainment industry.

[@keyblademasterclark]

Oh wow I forgot Jetix was a thing

Don’t know if anyone has pointed this out but yes radiation can mess with a compass

[@Vanguardmetrics]

It's awfully hard looking at ranger Red in this series after watching Spartacus.... ugh.

[@Revshockwave]

Oh I know.....that scene....

[@Dimensioneer88]

Vanguardmetrics His actor also got cast in Marvel's Jessica Jones series.

[@bull705]

imdb88 And Ranger Yellow is starring in iZombie on the CW.

[@cj56478]

imdb88 its like power rangers is crossing over with marvel

[@cj56478]

Vanguardmetrics ugh dont remind me

[@AsperGoat]

Damn, 7 years already? (Dated comment already) And this is a re upload

[@the-dramatic-nerd]

There is know way that demo is real. It’s too good to be rejected

[@jeremydale4548]

And yet it was. And whoever rejected it deserves to be cast out of decision making of ANY kind permanently

[@slybandicoot]

it not by you you know but it is great video

[@fromthecheapseats7126]

13:49 I wish they’d reused the “Turbo” tune.

[@SeanORaigh]

After being in this and in Jessica Jones it's a real shame that Eka Darville is a crypto cultist and conspiracy theorist.

[@SeanORaigh]

What is it with Red Rangers? Ricardo Medina kills someone, Pua Magasiva kills himself (after threatening to murder his wife and child).

[@29AndreG]

What?

Why does this have so many ads when it's not even yours
