I won't say what happened at the end of Cosmic Fury because it's a major spoiler

[@DJLucas-xv7oe]

[@SulliMike23]

To this day, Lord Zedd is still the best Power Rangers villain in my book.

[@darkshadowx9543]

I agree with you

[@loganholzwulf1689]

I think Lord Zedd is tied with Mesogog as best Power Ranger villain.

[@angelaholmes8888]

[@vapepimp7777]

That’s because he was originally a power ranger turned evil

When I saw Lord Zedd the 1st time… he literally scared me. Just his physical presence alone was terrifying.

[@danknhshinki73]

Lord Zedd has done some messed-up stuff through out the franchise.

[@selfawarebot1]

I mean, he's evil.

[@yamigekusu]

Zedd returning in Dino Fury was very surprising and kinda terrifying. Having an evil Zedd again meant that the Rangers were gonna be screwed in one way or another

[@JStorm13]

In cosmic fury is even more brutal. I love his saying in dino fury, "You're lucky I don't have my staff, because when I return, I will turn this planet into a cinder!". That was savage.

[@selfawarebot1]

power rangers always get screwed one way or another though.

If parents didn't complain about him or Dark Spectre wasn't his master, I say that he belongs to being pure evil

[@omarcogle1965]

You know what's interesting, if the parents didn't complain about Lord Zedd back in the day, he could've One-Shot Zordon in Season 3 when he was brought into the Command Center.

[@EternalEmperorofZakuul]

That's why i wish Lord Zedd was adapted in Super Sentai

[@sonicguyver7445]

Zedd entering the Command Center was one of the most intense moments in the show when I was a kid. I remember the whole place shook during the teleportation, like the Command Center itself was resisting his entry. Then how he just gloats over them the whole time. It was so cool. That whole portion of the show was very interesting in retrospect. I saw the Super Sentai series it came from. They actually reversed the zords entry. It was the Shogun Zords that came first, then the Ninja Zords. And there was no pink ranger in that series so they actually gave crane zord to Kimberly, hoping no one would notice it wasn't really pink. Then taking her out of the picture so the five rangers available would match with the Shogun Zords. As I said, it was very interesting how they rearranged so much of that part of the series to better mesh with the human narrative they had established. Also Tommy's Falcon Zord was actually the carrier Zord of that series, like Titanus or Tor before.

[@alunjones6823]

Lord Zedd is my all time favourite Power Rangers villain.

[@mr.mystere4999]

I was wondering when these listmakers were going to notice Lord Zedd's masterplan when he showed up in Season 2. Up until the day Tommy lost his Green Ranger powers, it had been a constant targeted attack to wear him down. Team up with Brainiac just to trap Angel Grove in a box? That does seem like something that he'd do. I'm surprised he didn't try to bend Brainiac to his will. #1 though? That's messed up, but not the first time we've seen him destroy a planet.

[@TKnHappyNess]

Zedd was fixing Rita's mistakes, Tommy as the Green Ranger as the biggest. However it did backfire when Tommy returned as the White Ranger

[@EdBoy1215]

Hey, wait a minute. What about eliminating the Dino Zords? Seeing the OG Zords annihilated for good was not only worse than "Eclipsing Megazord", but it was a massive shake up in the series' status quo that demonstrated that even the Rangers' mighty battle machines weren't safe.

[@danknhshinki73]

Zedd is lowest of the low.

[@javiersantanaaviles5885]

One of the most iconic villains of not only Power Rangers but from the entertainment in general

[@cianroe3233]

If you did a list on Lord Zedd out of anyone, then do one on Team Rocket, and I just mean the main trio, not anyone else in the organisation, cause even though they are rather idiotic and pathetic, their selfish and reckless actions can sometimes cause more harm than usual.

[@everettparker1313]

This was an Incredible Masterpiece Video for My All Time Favorite Power Rangers Antagonist’s and My Fifth Favorite Villain of All Time. The Late Robert Axelrod (1949-2019) Did a Legendary Performance Bringing This Cold, Manipulated, Calculated and Sadistic Villain to life. Andrew Laing did a Phenomenal Performance Bringing Lord Zedd after 23 years since Power Rangers In Space and I’m still sad that he didn’t Voice Lord Zedd in Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. But Fred Tatasciore definitely was an Incredible Choice for Lord Zedd knowing That he Voiced Megatron he truly had a voice of a Conqueror.

[@hectorcollazo8845]

Ah Megatron. Another fav childhood villain of mine.

[@eraser2592]

Cosmic fury definitely improved him

[@christianalarcon3182]

He’s the ultimate power ranger big bad Always been my favorite. He’s look is completely terrifying

[@CommanderBohn]

And they nerfed him after he first made his debut because parents thought he was TOO EVIL for Power Rangers. Wonder how bad he'd have been if it weren't for that...

[@omarcogle1965]

[@TKnHappyNess]

Zedd wasn't exactly allies with the Machine Empire because early in Zeo, Zordon revealed that the latter broke away from the United Alliance of Evil

[@cammy85]

Dark Specter's messenger probably scared them into attending and participating like he did with Divatox and her crew. Everyone feared Dark Specter, even Zedd and Rita.

[@michaelcalico8702]

I am glad you added destroying to power coins during alien rangers. However, I think they later fixed that, but they didn't have the power coins for the master morpher (hence I'm glad I stopped after in space)

This is easy : destroying the dino/ thunderzords, kidnapping Kimberly, sending rita into space, kidnapping the morphing masters and transforming into master zedd, launching an invasion of earth, turning the rangers into kids twice, trying to touch the zeo crystal and transforming into lord zedd, forcing the rangers to pilot the shogun megazords, piloting serpentara and trying to destroy earth, giving goldar his wings, transforming every living and non living thing into monsters like the scarlet sentinel, helping rito revolto ambush the rangers, blowing up king Mondo and his family

Should've waited for Cosmic Fury to put this out because there's enough to support its own list on that season: 1. Stealing the Morphin' Master power to use on himself 2. Brainwashing Ollie the Blue Ranger for a second time, and keeping his "pet" on a much tighter leash 3. Allying with Squid Ink Inc. 4. Successfully (if temporarily) taking over Earth, Eltar, and who knows how many other planets

[@archingelus]

revisiting my childhood memory lane with mature thought: dang this guy literally HAS BRAINS

[@UncleNemmy]

It's almost been three decades since Lord Zedd made his debut

[@KotCR]

I mean, I'm fairly sure everything he does in Cosmic Fury would be the top 3 or so on this list. It's still early days, so I'll guess I'll put in some spacing for spoilers... 1 - Defeating every Power Ranger team on Earth and enslaving the world in Cosmic Fury. 2 - Capturing every Morphin' Master and then absorbing their power to become an evil Morphin' Master himself. 3 - Nuking Dino Henge removing the Dino Fury Ranger powers, while also simultaneously sparing the single statue turning one of their own evil for the long-haul, upgrading his powers, and consistently taunting the Rangers with how one of their best and brightest is now his top servant and general. Seems like a pretty horrifying way to rub it in. Also, talking about the entries on this list itself - surely dusting all the Power Coins was far worst than just depowering the single Green Ranger? Though in terms of "meanness" against the campaign of targeted harassment he launched against Tommy specifically in the start of MMPR S2 was more villainous in concept, even if not as damaging overall.

[@easternwoyer3876]

Id say cosmic furys finally was worse literally tried to uno reverse the rangers

Actually tasking away the green ranger was not the first thing Zedd did. He wrecked the Dino Zords in his first appearance and was so scary parents called the studio and they toned him down afterwards
