Power Rangers - A noob's review PART 2

[@CrowTR0bot]

Fun Fact: Two of the monsters of the week on this show (one of them Snizard) were voiced by Bryan Cranston. Yeah, Walter White got his start in Power Rangers.

[@foxandbarrettshow6916]

You're damn right

[@ShinryuZensen]

@@foxandbarrettshow6916 *you are goddamn right. That's the quote you should use.

[@captainkaixa]

Isn't he also the zordon from the movie

[@aidanredding8058]

@@captainkaixa Yep

[@encycl07pedia-]

Snizzard*

[@LamangoKaijura]

Someone tell him that Power Rangers in space cross overed with Ninja Turtles.

[@noeldavison5939]

LamangoKaijura Yup, it's episode 4. You can watch it on Netflix

[@octaviocontreras2239]

He already knows that, he made a video where he talked about the live action turtles show and he mentioned the crossover

[@jayNicks10]

I remember watching that as a kid and LOVING IT, even though I would have preferred the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the Jim Henson live action movies.

[@arcsparkasriel]

The Next Mutation as an idea for a story did have promise. The idea that there was a fifth turtle that never made her way to Splinter after she was exposed to the same ooze the four turtles were so she ends up being found by a different martial arts master entirely until she eventually finds her long lost brothers and joins the team. As a story idea, it is pretty cool. Its just kind of tragic that The Next Mutation botched it up so badly

[@AirLancer]

@@arcsparkasriel Funny how she just happens to ALSO end up with a martial arts master. They were everywhere back then I suppose.

[@IanPeon]

"It's all paced like a toy commercial." Great observation.

[@zetabolt6648]

oh don't worry, it's good now-a-days.

When not in character, he has this rather soothing quality to his voice.

[@tommysheffield2561]

GunvorPlays i agree

[@SamShadow93]

I remember back in the day my friend had a Zordon toy that was essentially a clear blue tube with his face on it... He ended up turning it into the coolest bong ever.

That moment when James Rolfe becomes a better nostalgia critic than the Nostalgia Critic

[@T-Jin]

nostalgia critic sucks

[@Loponstorm]

Can't tell if this is fans continuing the squabble between Nerd and Critic, or if you guys just don't give a fuck that they're friends so you just bad-mouth him cause your personal opinion is that he's bad.

[@horaciosi]

And no Malcolm or Tamara on sight

[@moltenriches]

Nostalgia Critic like AVGN is a character whereas this is just James being James.

[@Loponstorm]

Juan Rivera An opinion cannot be "true", it is not a fact.

[@KuroNoTenno]

The comment about Kimberly is spot on.

[@SBaby]

Hey, I'm just thankful that she got a decent send-off. Some of the cast members back then weren't as lucky when they were switched out (Passing the Torch, anyone?).

[@kingboobs20]

Yeah I was bummed out when she left the show, but at least the Australian chick (Kat) that replaced her was pretty cute too.

[@kingboobs20]

Billy was my favorite ranger of all so it was quite a tearjerker when he left.

[@FRISHR]

Kimberly is overrated. Jen is best waifu Pink Ranger

[@DUB_87]

FRISHR-Kimberly is awesome! But yeah, Jen is the best.

[@disgruntledcashier503]

Fun fact: the actor who plays Skull now teaches acting at my friend's college

[@steven9469]

Disgruntled Cashier let me guess a college in chicago, illinois

[@Tall_Order]

That's awesome. I heard he was a writer and a director or something.

[@disgruntledcashier503]

Steven Rampage yeah it is. How'd you know?

[@steven9469]

I'm from Illinois and saw something online about that

[@AbelGomez1987]

I would've guessed California, considering that's where the original setting was. I would be interested to see how he dresses as a professor :D

[@wahfulprints9524]

Fun fact, only the pink ranger wears a skirt because the sentai yellow ranger was also a man

[@bigace89s]

Pimpdaddy Habetler Another Fun Fact, The White Ranger Is A Kid In Super Sentai

[@青雷の戦士]

And that kid played Kid Burai in a flashback in Zyuranger.

[@diegorivas1991]

On Gokaiger (Super Sentai season from 2011) the team changes to suits from previous seasons, since this was the 35th Anniversary season. When they changed to Zyuranger suits they give a proper skirt to the yellow ranger.

[@yunlien]

the japanese counterpart of the Gold Ranger in Zeo was a kid too

[@agonleed3841]

Bunch of KZbin information from people who mostly never saw one episode of anything other than power rangers until KZbin itself. And some not until a few years ago when it became "cool" to pretend to be in the know lol Fun fact, the whole point was to give us as Americans some fun stuff to look at but to adjust it to our culture. Not to rip off in a "fuck you" fashion. Japanese culture is really different from America so their background stories and all wouldn't fit. So they HAD to adapt. Unlike a lot of anime. Where even though the characters are basically Japanese in most respects, the anime itself is universal in idea. So there's no reason to adapt it and change characters or stories

[@xchargerOUx]

" they fight puddies, who are a bunch of turds that are made from a cookie mold." LMFAO!

[@DemonicRemption]

@Ur Momma Well he's not wrong lol! xD

[@MTTT19]

It's one of those shows that you love as a kid but eventually when you get older you grow out of it. Then when you enter your adult years, you realise how much of an impact it left on your childhood. I've had the pleasure of meeting most of the orignal cast and hope to meet the rest someday. I'd also like to add that as Thuy Trang is still deeply missed to this day and we will always remember her.

[@Chishannicon]

I'm in the same boat. I grew out of it around the time that Kimberly left, but when I was college age, I got back into it big time, and I still consider myself a huge fan. Meeting JDF a few years ago was one of the highlights of my life.

[@hobbitpsi]

It's one of those shows we loved as a kid, but grew out of when we started watching Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and Garo.

[@LucasMartins-dy6no]

garo is fuckin awesome

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i cant say the same as you though, as like James i love the cheesiness and the rubber suit monster fights, so that alone makes me STILL enjoy power rangers, even though it's quality goes to shit after the zordon era.

[@masterjedi343]

You met the original cast? That's really cool man. I bet Jason David Frank is a chill guy.

[@highdefinitionapollo2189]

Also we all know Bulk and Skull are the actual main characters.

[@AsprinceRemix]

+George Zhang But of course.

[@MiniMackeroni]

The only characters with actual show-wide arcs.

[@NinjaRed5000]

George Zhang the true heroes of the series.

[@brandonlyon730]

It's also interesting the actor for Skull has actually become a Professor of a college now.

[@NinjaRed5000]

Brandon Lyon yeah. at a con he introduced himself as Dr. Jason Narvy. that was great

[@JazGalaxy]

Bulk and Skull really were a bizarre element to that show. James is right, I had no idea they would become such a big deal but the actors are actually really good at being a comedy duo. At a certain point, from the little I watched of the show, it was like they had their own show within the show.

[@graciegj63]

JazGalaxy Someone needs to do an edit of power rangers without the power rangers.

[@Trayxxxx]

The were also the most developed characters in the series. Power Rangers in Space being their defining moment.

[@rishnix]

They're so great because we get to see them grow as people. They start as goofy teenage bullies that try too hard to be tough, but are always humbled in the end. Throughout the series though we see them begin to try and help people, including when they became cops. Then at the end of In Space, they rally the normal people to fight back against the bad guys and monsters who conquered the Earth. This all took place over a long period of time and it felt good to see them change and grow into better people. They went from the kind of people that you would call an obnoxious idiot to the kind that you'd be proud to call your friend, and they made the entire change believable.

[@Trayxxxx]

Chronologo I loved Wes from Time Force. He was a pretty funny guy.

[@danielclark241]

So James is now a Power Rangers fan! As Jason said to Tommy when the latter joined the team, "welcome aboard"!

[@Raximus3000]

He has'n't watch Kamen Rider.

[@DedricSilva]

Well Critic ain't gonna like it.

[@AdrianMcCauley]

You know Bryan Cranston did voice work (on much anime, too) on the power ranger series, right? The producer named the Blue ranger, Billy Cranston, after him. And that's why Bryan Cranston is invited back for the new movie as Zardon.

[@AlejandroRodolfoMendez]

Adrian Mccauley now he is the new zordon on the new power ranger movie

[@Dim4323]

Alejandro Rodolfo Mendez but he dosnt do the voice it sounded to normal

[@AlejandroRodolfoMendez]

Anthony Barratt now he does it

[@KairuHakubi]

a lot of actors got their start doing random voiceover there, alex borstein for one. uhh the voices of zedd and rita became anime dubbing staples after this.. I can't think of any other specifics, but it's one of those things like finding out michael keaton got his start on mister rogers

YES, I remember that show, 3 kids/teens in a band play there instruments to fly into the cyber world and defeat evil digital creatures.

[@Lokilos]

Why not complete the 90's ripoffs and add Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills?

[@DarthAndrew520]

Dang you stopped at Turbo? You have to at least watch In Space. For Christ sakes thats the Season where they do a cross over with The Ninja Turtles!

[@chewchewpark4786]

DarthAndrew520 once Jason and Trini left the show ended.

[@George_1098]

DarthAndrew520 Agreed it's also the best season.

[@delabarcel]

Turbo is fucking trash

[@ZipplyZane]

He didn't even stop at Turbo. He admitted he skipped ahead to the Turbo movie. It seems he didn't go past Mighty Morphin.

[@Liquidcadmus]

DarthAndrew520 are you kidding? they really did a crossover with ninja turtles??

[@WhistleMeThis]

The Sentai footage is always easy to distinguish from the American footage. Even in the modern seasons. The type of camera is just different, the suits are shinier, fitted better, and the action is way higher budget and quality. The locations of the Japanese footage are always more epic and interesting as well. The American footage usually just takes place in a local park. Even to this day, the American suit-footage looks like cosplay compared to the original Sentai footage.

[@Raximus3000]

What did you expect? The pr franchise is a past its prime like only by die-hard fans mess. In the comics there is an issue where mr. floating head sends 5 RANDOM PEOPLE on the moon where 3 DIE!!! If a 180 turn in tone doesn't scream of desperation i don't know what.(plus because social justice the leader red is a woman and a guy wears pink) I hope most of the budget goes to TOEI, it can be used to make better shows.

[@shis1988]

Raximus3000 actually I have less an issue with a female red in a comic, it allows something mostly impossible to do in the show and that has only been done twice, in SPD where a woman leads Squad A and Samurai where the real ranger was supposed to be Lauren but her arc was very poorly managed. If she is poorly made, same is true.

[@captainkaixa]

Not really it has gotten much better

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

Ehh just early seasons Nowdays they use alot more original footage starting with the Disney era

[@TheLuchaDork]

You totally forgot about Season 3.5 - Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers.

[@Ganondorfsson]

To be honest, I think all the motions and poses they do are to help emote. You can't show your facial reactions and expressions from behind a helmet.

[@m.kakazu]

If they didn't move, you would have no idea who's talking.

[@Khalengen]

Fun fact, most of the time in Sentai they didn't talk while fighting.

[@Elyseon]

And then you have the poses that looked... a bit too much like the nazi salute. Oh Sentai, you...

[@JSmoothSoul]

In the Japanese Footage yes, it's very fitting most of the time. But the american Footage is insulting and stupidly over done, Jeff Puit was a idiot

[@cenardson]

James, Shout Factory is currently streaming Super Sentai Zyuranger (MMPR Season 1) and Dairanger which is kind of MMPR Season 2 but not really. In case you really want to check it out soon.

[@only257]

you can watch it on tubi tv now

[@williamblazkowicz5587]

+BionicJohn That was quite the Freudian slip.

[@evilaj2010]

Damn if only he watched in space too since that is the final season of the Zordon era.

[@Havik61]

Don't forget how the In Space Rangers had a crossover with Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation , would love to hear his thoughts on that.

[@jerelminter]

James said he's only familiar with the Mighty Morphin era, he doesn't have to watch the whole series to know this. He has enough information to form his opinion and plus he explained that he already knew how popular the show was when it came out in part 1 in this video. But he's never seen any episodes until now.

[@megagrey]

Barbara Goodson was the voice of Rita Repulsa. I was amazed to learn she also voiced Laharl, the protagonist of the original Disgaea.

[@lieutenantyoshi5704]

[@kuntdestroyer5093]

if the colors and sparks and strobing lights weren't enough to melt your face the theme song always would.

and THAT'S why the new movie's trailer is SO BAD! They put hip hop and rap music where there was metal UP YOUR ASS. Power Rangers was heavy af,they shouldn't change that.

[@tenryunaito3763]

I'm surprised you didn't mention how the Dragonzord is based off Godzilla and even resembles MechaGodzilla.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

the Dragonzord was always great to see in action, sadly i dont think it got as much limelight as it should've gotten.

[@TheRezro]

Godzilla is based on Rhedosaurus and it has far more sense then bullshit claim that Dragonzord was based on Godzilla.

[@mikesannitti6042]

I'm suprised he didn't mention that Dragonzord's scream is identical or very close to Godzilla's.

Its so freaking awesome. MMPR started at a perfect time for a lot of kids like myself that was getting older from the TMNT erra. So I had two great shows to watch saturday mornings lol. We even got to me Austin St John today at a signing he was doing at a local comic/game store. That was a great walk down memory lane. It put me in a great mood. Felt just like a kid again, just much bigger now lol.

[@FIRE-LOTUS]

Also James! if you are reading this, I hope you do more of the noob reviews. It's absolutely entertaining as all hell, and I would request that you should do a noob review of DragonBall Z!

[@Hyuuga2109]

Do your parents know that you are a petty and aggressive individual who is narrow-minded at best, and intolerant at worst ?

[@strawberrybankai12]

It's a real shame you stopped right before in space since that is considered by most fans as the best season of zordon/saban era

[@Burning_Typhoon]

My personal favorite, too. I liked it so much, I quit watching power rangers when in space ended, because of disappointment.. and, the recycling of the astro megazord was odd for me too. I skipped most seasons entirely, only watching a couple of episodes of Operation overdrive, and Samurai, to see how they compared to the Japanese versions, in which, I'd say Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger became my favorite.

[@TonyTheTGR]

"in Space" was really the finality/conclusion they'd built up to over what... 7 years? It's a perfectly fine sendoff for those of us moving on to Guitar Hero/Rock Band at the time; and the new versions are still very approachable and kid-friendly. But it's not just Astro that comes back. Damn near every living PR in existence guest stars in just about every season of each show. It's a mess, but pretty true to form.

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Hehe moving on to Guitar hero :p what year was it? I was a bit to old for Power Rangers, was watching Ninja Turltes in my day.

[@Seriona1]

The thing about In Space is it was very mature for what it was and it had actual story that lead to the ending, the only way that series could of ended better is if they could of gotten all the power rangers actors for the ending scene.

[@Dreadjaws]

To be fair, he only stopped for the purposes of this video. Surely he'll continue watching on a slower rythm.

guys you only need 2 watch 2 super sentai seasons, Choushinsei Flashman but most importantly Choujuu Sentai Liveman. you can get them in spanish or brazilian and see it u can get subs from there too. not sure. other than that kido keiji jiban is definitely one of the best ever. up there with liveman and maybe even better. oh and if you have time only if you have time check out kamen rider dragon knight, it's quite good for being a new-ish western adaptation of a japanese kamen show. if you dont mind western kaiju/sentai programs

On the other hand, don't know with which Kamen Rider series to start. They recommended me W and Gaim.

TRUE FACT: The producer of the song Trouble was Simon Cowell.

[@KillaKlump]

almost forgot about that song lmao

[@bowmaj8666]

This has become one of my favourite Cinemassacre Reviews, mostly because despite the fact that James was completely new to this series he actually got a lot of things right. He totally understood the whole deal with the recycled Japanese footage. I know people nowadays who watched Power Rangers as kids and still to this day don't understand this. Like they could come across clips of the original Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and just think that some Japanese show was stealing from Power Rangers, kind of like what happened with Turkish Star Wars!

[@samuraispiritsx]

I'm sad you missed out on this as a kid but its really awesome that you went back and gave it a chance. Super Sentai is awesome too, Dairanger and Jetman are the best.

[@rangergreen1935]

When the movie came out, the cg of Ivan was really offputting in a horror kind of way. I remember it looking so uncanny it actually scared me.

[@dadandthekid3265]

Five Words: Super Human Samurai Syber Squad. Best Power Rangers knock off ever.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

What, you weren't a fan of Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills?

[@shane3674]

Another thing that made Power Rangers so great was the awesome rock music! Songs like "Fight" and "I Will Win" never get old.

[@yaearmeow]

Shane Everett true

[@Barl3000]

Elizabeth Banks is perfectly cast in the new movie. Even with the weird design of Rita, she sounds spot on in the few snippets of her lines from the trailer.

[@MedskiPurnamski]

Ever notice that the original Power Rangers villains actually have a theme in their designs? They basically consist of mythical creatures and monsters namely a witch, a manticore, a lamia, a leprechaun, a vampire, and a troll.

[@Carlzdash]

nobody told james the yellow ranger is a dude in japan? once you see the bulge you cant unsee it

[@Tum0spoo]

His name was Guy. not "Boi"

[@hobbitpsi]

No actually his name was Boi. Knight of the Dime tribe.

[@OblivionKisame]

Carlzdash or that the white ranger was kid in Japan

Carlzdash omg that's so funny, I swear I noticed that lol

[@dattebenforcer]

Also in America. Guess you never saw that bulge?

[@FoxDie77777]

If you didn't know, Power Rangers is kind of a Saga until SPACE (the 4th series) and then it's like every season is a standalone show. The final episodes of SPACE is just epic (or at least that's how i remember it)

[@disneyerapowerrangers2923]

there's still continuity after it.

[@FoxDie77777]

yeah, but it felt more like a saga until that point

[@Klonoahedgehog]

There's continuity until the Neo Saban era where they just said fuck it with Megaforce and Dino Charged.

[@DanFPG]

I LOVED Power Rangers as a kid, it was just kick ass. Monsters/Robots/Fighting/Kickassmusic! Whats not to like?!

There's a damn good reason people were hacking this show's theme song into Guitar Hero games. IJS.

The remark about Kimberly leaving comes off as awkward to me. With her being singled out, I feel like I'm overhearing someone reveal their crush.

[@nicholasatanasovski5961]

More of these please!

[@KR-nf3is]

5:04 Fun Fact: The Pumpkin was played by Bryan Cranston AKA Walter White from Breaking Bad.

[@nintyfan1991]

And Hal from Malcolm in the Middle, which told me the actors name before I knew he was in Power Rangers.

[@psychedoutmike5957]

Can you review Zeo-In Space? It's part of the Zordon era and was the golden era of Power Rangers.

[@TheMexicanLynx]

James reviewing Zyuranger when? I believe Shout Factory released it on DVD on the US, right?

[@jeffmurnahan]

This review was enjoyable because it's neat to watch a noob become a fan rather than just crap on the show and it's also cool that you thought the movie should honor the show which is what every fan thinks. I haven't watched the movie yet but I'm excited to see it

[@19942611]

"It looks like a toy commercial" Maybe because, uh, it is? I'm a PR and Sentai fan and all, but the series is basically one big glorified toy commercial.

[@muhanc.a.9299]

Congratulations James that was AVGR

[@muhanc.a.9299]

When I said AVGR I meant to say "A Very Good Review", I don't have the pleasure of meeting the youtuber you are talking about. Jame's AVGN (Angry Video Game Nerd) is not what I meant to say.

[@manospondylus]

12:11 you can totally see his balls.

[@Emmariscobar]

THATS MEANT TO BE A KID IN JAPAN! WHAT THE FUCK?!

[@tommysheffield2561]

Were

[@octaviocontreras2239]

Ariel Escobar not really, since it's a still from Gokaiger, the sentai series where the heroes have the ability to morph into past sentai teams, the member that turns into the white ranger is an adult

[@IzZyRaWr]

I can totally see YOUR balls. o.o

[@GenOner]

dam you , i did not notice before , now its all i pay attention to

[@CodingtheRoad]

Dude-- I have been watching you for YEARS.. and I really am glad I found you then, and glad you still continue to make fucking great content.

[@NightmareKnight7]

Funny about that closing statement, James. Power Rangers and its monster fights WERE the actual gateway to the Godzilla movies (and others in the genre) for me and many '90s kids. I owe a lot to this show. Even if it is goofy, it's still great, cheesy fun!

[@sammylane21]

That song though,it transforms you into a fan just by itself!Go!Go!POWER RANGERS!!I just wanna hear it as an instrumental only,karaoke style.

[@Kpba32]

dont remind me of that one fatal time in Goaranger

[@GreyHulk2156]

That Frankenstein's monster (05:18) looks strangely like Mike Matei! Or is it just me?

[@danielparfitt4920]

*chokes on his coffee AGAIN when james is on the floor crying screaming go go power rangers**

[@Flounderboy15]

I remember watching the Power Rangers movie as a kid and think the CGI was AMAZING!! It was still relatively new back then.

[@acicon]

This warms my heart. Glad to hear you enjoyed watching Power Rangers, James.

[@BeatlesOasisFan]

That's the point. The show was a combination of over-the-top Japanese stuff like rubber-suit monsters duking it out with gigantic robots and people waving their hands way too expressively with typical US teen drama with slapstick comic reliefs and hot-pink dresscode. It's Super Sentai meets Saved by the Bell. It's a mess but I loved it as a kid. :D

[@blackRXrider]

BeatlesOasisFan they wave their hands to show emotion. I think power rangers overdid with the dubbed dialogue.

[@bobsaggzs2088]

Every time James looks into the camera it fills my body with sexual energy

[@AsprinceRemix]

+bob saggzs Uuuhhh...

[@SDallstar]

bob saggzs .... when did you become 1 half of the nasty boys?

[@Kiteman78]

Weirdo

[@SoftwareAgentsTV]

6:41 Loving the Iron Maiden references.

[@JorgeL721]

It'd be cool to see an AVGN episode on power ranger games

[@troyandrew6154]

He did do an episode

[@dakotadoyle7573]

"What else could possibly happen in 23 seasons?" Dude you haven't seen anything yet

[@rodrigovialerios]

Great episode. Now do an AVGN video with Power Rangers videogames.

[@sscool100]

he will probable do one closer to the new movie release

[@MISTAWULFY]

Man, there are some really great games and some absolute dumpster fires in that series. MMPR the Fighting Edition is still one of my favorite fighting games of all time

[@TheRezro]

Better the Sentai (after all Linkara already did that). Maybe we Henshin AVGN here ;D

[@mikesannitti6042]

Power Rangers: The Movie: the game (James will get a kick out of that) was one of those rare examples whn the game is better than the movie it was based on (at least on the Genesis)

[@Hazelminker]

the power rangers Game , at least the genesis one , is bloody great! The rest .. Well... It's Nerd's Rant Material :D

[@TypicalWhiteAsianBoy]

Ivan Ooze used to scare me D:

[@Kiteman78]

TypicalWhiteAsianBoy ooh me too

[@mhollis1989]

Dude f***ed me up as a kid! He killed Zordon! You don't just up and kill zordon!

[@samthemultimediaman]

Ironicly the Japanese actress that played Rita Repulsa in Super Sentai ended up having to redub all of her lines from English to Japanese when Power Rangers went to japan.

[@blackRXrider]

Sam The Multimedia Man they did the same thing for dekaranger/spd

[@blackphoenix77]

They still do that to this day. When any Super Sentai is adapted into Power Rangers, the cast of the Sentai that was adapted always dubs that season of Power Rangers into Japanese.

[@whoopingmuffin9700]

would that be like punching a mirror, or wearing vr goggles that control a robot that punches you in the face unknowingly

[@caronte2588]

I loved both of these videos. It made me feel so nostalgic! Loved your view on it, and yeah the japanese monsters look so cool. I I just remembered that you have your own giant monster battle in the legend of zelda majora's mask. In Stone Tower, you use the giant's mask and you fight a giant monster. I thought it was a really cool idea!

[@Githrog]

Damn dude u never dissapoint. What a great review from your experience. Watching these took me right back to rushing home after school so I wouldn't miss the next episode. Remember worrying about missing a new episode? You know, before there was DVR? Yeah you could set up a VCR to record onto VHS when you weren't going to be home, but who the hell knew how to make that work right? Glad you finally understand why all us original fans were so hooked... Now, go watch "Big Bad Beetle Borgs" and "Animorphs". Good Luck

[@JakeWerkmeister]

There's also a lighting difference between the Japanese and American footage. The Japanese shots look like they're on the verge of being over exposed. Best way I can put it anyways.

[@rickconsort2671]

It's the grain of the film. These shows were shot with different cameras and film stocks. That's how I can tell the difference.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

plus the japanese footage was older, so that also helped make it stand out like a sore thumb.

[@jackmcslay]

Each power rangers season was based on a sentai series 1~3 years old at the time, so they're hardly distinguishably older

[@cookieface80]

The Gaming Paladin Only by a year.

[@xenohunter95]

hope to see doctor who a noobs review XD

[@Poshnoodles]

xenohunter95 heh, yah go back and watch 50+ years worth of episodes. It would be a massive undertaking.

[@elvfrem]

Some of the oldest Doctor Who episodes are not avaliable though. Like.. At all, completely gone. So there is a lot of gaps in the older seasons which makes keeping up impossible if you ddidnt see the old ones before they vanished.

[@KajiRider1997]

Dollarbillguy did it in 1 and a half year. all of the 26 classic seasons that is

[@rocketcon]

Vladir Gaeser The audio of those missing episodes still exists, and they have been released on CD (with narration by some of the original actors to help describe the visuals) so they are not completely gone. Some of them have been reconstructed using animation and still photos too.

[@delabarcel]

xenohunter95 I don't think he can support 900 episodes of cheesy sci-fi effects

[@jakezubrod7906]

I remember when I was watching Turbo: A Power Rangers movie when I was really young. Even at a young age, I found it to be a really weird.

[@karmenh8844]

When this show came out, I was 3. It hit me at the perfect time. I was obsessed with Dinosaurs and it was mixed with superheros and great music. I was also obsessed with Jurassic Park and TMNT.

[@ViewMasterMike]

from a life long Power Rangers fan, it was great to hear the perspective of a person who's never seen it. I really enjoyed your video and I am happy you are a new fan! another great video, James.

[@MAYOFORCE]

Watch AVGN use this to gateway into Kamen Rider, and then Precure... and then he'll be just like me.

[@MrRyu719]

Nice review James, can you watch and review Kamen Rider plzz

[@WindyREDPanda]

Ryu Techa He would LOVE Ex-aid

[@omegaus817]

Will thank you for this video Nerd.

[@alienape3171]

1:06 I always loved the look and design of Lord Zedd, but I always felt that the campiness of the show made his design week. He had so much potential to be this monstrous evil thing, but he was just kind of a goofball interesting looking suit. I would actually love to see a reboot of Power Rangers that is very much more dark and greedy adults oriented where maybe they just straight-up murder people and then the Power Rangers have to come in and help or some crap. But I would definitely love to see a Godzilla tie and where they have to fight him. And they would obviously lose

[@sadfalcon9623]

The best Sentai season is Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger, its right up your alley, and it made me cry at times.
