Where did the Power Rangers go wrong???

[dakidbanks]

I just noticed all this sh*t on Netflix and I stopped watching as a kid after they killed off Zordon.. then years later I was flippin through the channels and saw Tommy came back

Anyways, I'm reliving my childhood briefly by watching key episodes I forgot about.. like:

- The Green Ranger saga
- Lord Zedd's arrival
- All the episodes they gave their powers to someone else
- All the episodes where somebody came back
- The TMNT crossover

I'm just wondering... where did they go wrong?

Was it the many name changes that threw people off?

Was it getting rid of key characters that threw people off? Man I was watching the episode where Zack and somebody gave their powers up to some losers and I'm like, man that was the lamest excuse to write them off the show.

Was it making the villains lamer and lamer? How does Lord Zedd's first menacing appearance slowly turn into him being a watered down fool running from King Mondo?

Or was it them trying to make Alpha start actin cool talkin with slang?

Making Tommy the leader.
Replacing the original cast members,
-Jason
-Zack
-Trini
Replacing voice actors for the bad guys.
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers The Movie.
The start of a New Power Rnagers Saga,
Power Rangers Zeo and Turbo etc.
But when Jason came back as the Gold Ranger he was the truth. Had that flying pyramid.

That movie was awesome as a kid. That skydiving and rollerblading swag And Tommy was fine as the Green ranger. The show really died with Power Rangers Zeo and those bullsh*t storylines that made no sense.

After In Space

I forgot to mention them makin that kid the blue ranger smh

But Tommy was dope.. He was the Dopest leader next to Jason.

But yeah those story lines in Zeo made no sense.. Like how Billy always disappeared when the Gold Ranger appeared.. Only to find out the Gold Ranger was actually some guy who was never in the show then they just said f*ck it and gave the powers to Jason... Then they never explained Wth Billy was doin

Then how did Kimberly go from Tommy to Jason?

Its hard to make a cohesive show when everything is stolen from a Japanese show. If they ran out of material from the Japanese show for those certain Rangers they had to switch it up or they wouldnt have had anything to air.

exactly. plus i mean the actors get older. the show is in its 20th season now, couldnt have the same leads.

this current season is an anniversary season actually, and old rangers are gonna return.

but to answer your question, power rangers didnt go wrong, we just got older.

you want them to hire brad pitt?

they're all young actors.

nah, but you can see the lack of effort in their acting. They know its only one season and say fukk it.

 

[boriquaking]

this is true, the lack of experience coupled with what you just said make for some shytty acting.

but theres still the fights.

either way we really are not their target demographic and kids dont know better.
