[@zalaathrun20]

I'd give a mention of honor to the used of the song "Down the road" sang by Amy Jo Johnson and Walter Jones, first and only heard in the season 2 episode "The Song of the Guitardo", which got me teary, and has always had a special sentiment since it was used on the previews episode to 2-part episodes "Green No More" where Tommy finally losses for good (back then at least) his green ranger power and in the Guitardo episode Kim and Zack sings that song as gift to Tommy to let him know that with or without powers he'll always be a rangers and a part of the team.

[@BrianAwesome]

It was a great sendoff for the Green Ranger Powers, and the original 6 ranger formula that we knew and loved 💚

[@dppatters]

This was made with so much love and care. Any true fan will appreciate this. I hope they do more episodes. There’s still so much more story to tell and potential for universe expansion. Especially with Billy in kind of a Tony Stark like role… So much opportunity to tie this into other ranger teams. Come on Netflix 🙏🏻

​@@cunningsmile4166 actually the symbol in the command center is the Hyperforce Ra gers insignia

[@LordOwenLongstrider]

I was thinking this would make a great lead-up to a new MMPR series where they pass their powers onto a new team. So my idea was that of course a new threat comes to Earth, maybe we see a huge alien ship heading for Earth and cut to the new bad guys talking about taking over the planet. Then cut to Angel Grove where we see Billy having returned from a visit to Aquitar and has brought his and Cestria's child, let's say they are a boy named David, who is interested in seeing Earth and spending time with his dad, but since he is half alien (looks mostly human but has some distinguishing alien features) Billy makes a wearable device that creates a holographic illusion to make him look fully human. In order to get the full Earthling experience, Billy enrolls David in Angel Grove High, and in the same classes as Minh so she can help David maintain his human disguise. Then the bad guys send down a bunch of goons to attack the city, one place being a museum where David and Minh are having a school field trip, and they both try to distract the goons so their classmates can escape, but three of them get cornered and so David and Minh have to save them, but in order to defeat the goons Minh must morph and David must use his alien powers in front of the three classmates, who agree to keep their secret after they saved them. Then the other Rangers arrive (Jason, Billy, Zack, and Kim; or whoever they get to be the current team), they discuss what's going on, but then a new group of goons and a handful of monsters appear and fight the Rangers, but in the fight Jason, Zack, Billy, and Kim get seriously injured and they have to retreat. So at the command center they talk and the adults realize they are getting too old and rusty to be fighting again, despite their willingness, so they decide to pass the powers onto new, younger people, with Minh being the Yellow Ranger, David becomes Blue, and the three classmates later become Red, Black, and Pink. These new Rangers go fight the monsters and defeat all but one, who is then made big, so they must summon the zords and form the megazord, finally defeating the last monster. Then at the command center, Billy says the new threat may be too strong for their current powers, but he and Alpha had been working on new morphers that give them increased powers and new suits (similar to the original MMPR suits but with an updated look), and the zords are upgraded too. From there this new team takes on the new bad guys, with Billy and Zack, and maybe occasionally the others as cameos, as their mentors. And maybe after several more episodes Kat comes back to Angel Grove (either to visit, or, like with Trini, since JDF is gone, they say Tommy died, not anything major, maybe something as random and mundane as a car crash, and they decide to have the funeral in Angel Grove) and she brings J.J., who then learns his parents were Rangers and then becomes the new Green Ranger. But, all the while during the season, Billy is still trying to bring Zordon back, and so in the finale, when the Rangers are facing a big challenge and may lose, Zordon comes back and gives them more power that helps them win.

[@cyberstar251]

I agree, I wanna see what the light speed resche teams been up to.

[@LordOwenLongstrider]

The only thing missing from the original MMPR was their Power Blaster, where they combined all their weapons to deliver a final blow to a monster, at least until Rita made the monster big. It would have been cool to see them use that instead of just Zack's axe-blaster to deliver the final shot to Rita, it would have made this all the more complete. 😁

[@cabooseisthevehicledestroy]

No they used it, they just never said their weapons names like they used to

[@LordOwenLongstrider]

@@cabooseisthevehicledestroy No, they used their weapons in Once&Always, but they never formed the Power Blaster; Minh threw her daggers to pin Robo Rita to the wall and then Zack used his axe-blaster to shoot her; maybe if he had shot her and disabled her but she was still alive, they could then be like, "Ok then, time for the Power Blaster!", and formed the Blaster to finally finish her off.

[@jeremydale4548]

Uhm, was it ever in Question that they were NOT the same timeline? I mean, sure. OBVIOUSLY SPD got the date WAY off as far as aliens are concerned, and we're probably going to see something like "Oh the dating system was changed to make the galactic calander" in order to retcon it, but I was under the impression that it was generally agreed that there were three universes, and only ONE of them has a screwed up timeline. RPM Universe Prime Universe And Dino Charge Universe with the screwed up timeline

[@hobbitpsi]

Watched the special as soon as it launched early this morning it brought back so much nostalgia. Though you can tell it was made for the fan who were kids during the original MMPR due to the tone. Like take Rita for example, in the original she'd never say the word "Kill" and she'd only say "destroy". In the special she would tell them she'd straight up kill them many times like she did Trini. It was still just as campy as ever and great, but yeh we all have to admit the tone was just tad darker than a regular Power Ranger special which is something we need more of. I think they should make a separate Power Ranger Series for older fans like this.

[@cunningsmile4166]

I think it was a homage ti 2017 film. But yeah. Classic ranger goofs. They captured Snizzard and Minotaur, but let them live. Wasting time they could have used to destroy them and break the spells. Making Rita lose faster

[@enzociriany7976]

@@cunningsmile4166it could be argued that if they destroyed Snizzard at that moment, that even if doing so would’ve freed the other rangers, they still would’ve been in Rita’s castle while she was still there.

She unnerved me before I was 10, but this time she really scared me! This is the Rita that fought to conquer the universe! This is the Rita that enslaved whole planets! This is the Rita that trapped Zordon in a time vortex! This is the Rita that joined Lord Zedd! The Z Wave took away all traces of good, leaving this Rita pure evil! If the power rangers had fought this Rita they would have been destroyed, I have no doubt! Being in the dumpster for 10,000 years made her want pay back and it made her evil villian bad, but not pure evil anymore. Also she focused only on the power rangers and Angel Grove, not attacking the whole planet, another thing that helped in defeating her. If she had attacked the capitals and captured heads of government's, it would have made it harder for the power rangers. This time Rita was attacking the whole planet and we know how hard it was for the power rangers even though there were over thirty power rangers now! This Rita could conquer the Earth!

@@Edward-nf4nc this isn't Rita anymore. It's what's left of her evil essence.

Adam could have temporarily gained the dragonzord power. Having Aiesha help mentor Mhin into becoming the next yellow ranger would have been fantastic. That said, I loved this special. It felt like it was written by fans. The way Robo Rita came back, I had explored that as a possibility but dismissed it thinking it was too out there. The fact that they paid so much attention to the lore and added in all these details, it was so great. I only wish we had gotten to see Bulk and Skulls ranger forms.

The biggest hits for me were around Trini herself. The fact that Billy brings up the heights thing in episode 2 is made even more interesting, as her last word was yelling, "Billy!" Which was recycled audio from that very episode. Add into the fact that she was blown over the side of a cliff, which not only references her (apparently fair) fear of heights, but also how Thui Trang passed in real life... And it made for a truly morphinomenal tribute.

I teared up a few times during this. I felt it was faithful to the original. Some people complained about the Megazord effects, but I wasn't expecting state of the art special effects.

Facts

[@kaschafe22]

Very true. I'm also very proud of Bulk and Skull in becoming business owners. They had the most character development over 5 seasons of the show.

[@cunningsmile4166]

Well too fast is my only complaint there

[@GusGalvan-xq9xt]

me too! it was a little sad! I feel the megazord should had been the old style but a bit cleaned up! the effects were very early CGI times

[@PowerRangerfan]

This has to go in the best anniversary special spot alongside Forever Red. It's too good not to. LOVED the Minotaur character.

[@alchemist743]

Dang they missed one reference about cat and Tommy's kid j.j. who was mentioned in Dino Thunder not to mention they both grow old together in the Christmas special

[@JunipersQuest]

Power Rangers will live on in our hearts forever since there release on TV back in 1993. This was the most respectful tribute done right. I hope more PPR shows will continue to be made.

[@TripSoul10]

Another thing to point out: how limber and agile the updated megazord is compared to its first season.

[@solid_justice5855]

Well in the og series it was a guy in an uncomfortable suit. Now it was all CGI. Bit easier to do

I was very upset that Zack wasn’t Minh Kwan father I believe the writers missed a big opportunity with that part of the storyline.

[@MelianLimGachaVideos]

Considering Adam works for the S.P.A, the predecessor of S.P.D., it would’ve been nice to hear him mention about Bridge (even without a name drop) considering they met alongside with Mystic Green, Ninja Storm Blue, and Dino Thunder Yellow in the Overdrive crossover.

[@scottgetz75]

I really enjoyed this special, wish it was longer, would have liked to see more about how life has been since they all left, and maybe a little more about how they could connect to the morphing grid now. For this video, I was surprised that you did not bring up Kat discussing JJ, and that this confirms she is his mother, and is with Tommy.

[@alchemist743]

Dude this was by far the best special I've seen it was so dope seeing some of the gang together not to mention the fact that they tied up some loose ends from the past which is great

[@christopherlitzner8445]

one thing it did do is squash the fan theory of the phantom ranger being billy since we see the phantom ranger captured and shrunk when tanya is added to the collection.

I guess Zeo isn’t as iconic and memorable as MMPR, and to be fair it was specifically a MMPR reunion. Although when I saw Zeo II in Rita’s machine, part of me was hoping for a Tanya cameo.

It was truly special, and I loved it. It also finally showed us why a ranger can't morph when they are out for revenge as Zordon always told them never to use their powers for revenge and the ending memorial for Thuy and JDF were beautiful too 🖤💗💙💛💖😍👍👍

[@bobbypowles]

They explained how Billy returned to his true age on his last appearance, he went to aquatar they reversed the aging process but during that time he met a female there and that's why he decided to remain in aquatar. It was his final message to the other rangers.

[@nightslayer6951]

Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank would be honored by this 30th anniversery. May they both rest in peace

[@KotCR]

There's no loophole with Billy. We know how he got younger. That's why he went to Aquitar to begin with - the fountain of youth, to de-age him. Made clear in the episode he leaves; We even get a (highly distorted, because it was a different actor) view of him being successfully de-aged in the Viewing Globe - so we know the fountain of youth worked. He stayed on Aquitar for Cestria, but that doesn't mean he couldn't take a trip home to Earth if he ever wanted too. Anyway...another reference that I've not seen many people point out - when the news are covering the Putty attack on Angel Grove, the news reporter works for BuzzBlast - the internet news company that much of Dino Fury is based within, and that in the final episode of Dino Fury announced they were opening a branch in Angel Grove (hence them having a reporter stationed there). It's a nice little nod to the events of Dino Fury.

[@cunningsmile4166]

That reminds me. Zedd is still out there when this is happenings

[@KotCR]

@@cunningsmile4166 Yup. Which might explain why Bandora protocol is such a big thing. Maybe they know and were expecting Zedd and Rita to unite like old times. They wouldn't mention it in the special though as they wanted it to be self-contained. With Zedd, Rita and the Troobians rising, the Rangers' certainly have their hands-full at this juncture. And while they didn't directly mention it, Billy talking about going on more space adventures is totally a set-up for Cosmic Fury.

[@IzzysIssues]

It wasn't the most perfect episode in the world (I rewatched "Reinforcements from the Future" , "Forever Red" , and "Dimensions in Danger" this week in anticipation) but I am so glad Hasbro decided to make it. Clearly it was made for long time fans but with enough framework to not alienate new or casual viewers. I loved the references and callbacks and what those connections imply about the grander scope of Morphineomenal Mythos that we get as fans, and it was so nice to see our icons back in the spandex! I hope this gets the positive response it deserves because Beast Morphers and Dino Fury have also been keeping legacy fans in mind and I'm so happy to see one of my favorite fictional universes continue to get so much love even though it's out of the zeitgeist

[@stephenharper9961]

A fantastic special one off 30th anniversary special, I got that warm feeling at many moments, fantastic written with many things left to explain in the future so keeps the franchise going for longer :)

[@stingrey1571]

the special was more like a 1 hour tribute to trini. i dont think they acknowledge her death in any of the series. this was a nice way to finally pay tribute to one of the greatest rangers ever.

[@torockchick]

Actually one episode of Power Rangers Time Force was dedicated to Thuy Trang at the end.

considering the quality of that CGI Megazord im guessing Netlfix didnt give them a large budget to work with. but still other than the CGI it was a good special and i shed a tear or two at the end where they gave tribute to Jason David Frank and Thuy Trang

[@newageBoundhippie]

another nice touch that deserves a mention is when Minh gets those flashes of Trini....one of the clips used included Ernie. Between that & the return of that Youth Center set, it was a nice way to remember both Ernie and his actor Richard Genelle who also passed away years ago. And of course there's the Bandora references....Bandora was the name of Rita's Sentai counterpart, and directly referencing that was a nice way to pay respects to the late Machigo Saika

Also, you missed a huge Easter Egg. But only the Sentai fans would get. Bandora is the name of villain in the Sentai MMPR was based off of.

[@firejoe283]

I liked it a lot better than the KZbin fan one. It had some of the actual cast, but they tried way too hard to be gritty with f bombs every minute. The scene where Zack and Billy were at Trini's about to break the news, that was adult theme I was looking for.

My favorite part of the movie or special or whatever, is when Rita asks Billy if she was able to outsmart him. That's simply delicious for many reasons but to name the most important two, I'd say is because she recognices him as one of the smartest (if not the smartest) beings of the universe, and by adressing to him, you could conclude that she thinks of the others as almost nothing, but him. He's the one she sees as a real threat, and as an equal, at the very least.
