I just love this show. To me its telling us kids and teenagers that we young generations also have a responsibility to protect the world. Before I go into the my opinion, I would first like to say I am deeply sadden by all the people her who have been bashing around about the MMPR. First off,the show was meant for kids and not adults. A kid see s it different from compare to an adult so please look at it from a child's point of view
The show introduces five teenagers Jason (a great and well respected leader, also my all time favourite ranger of all time), Kim (a good role modal for girls and in my opinion the one who should have had a crush on Jason), Zack (definition of Mr. Cool), Trini (Noble, Disipcline and kind hearted) and Billy (Mr Genius of the group). This show is just Morphinorminal. The first season needs no explanation. All the fights and others moments that we got from the show was just breath taking and a great music background just made it even more entertaining
Jason in my opinion was the best role modal for me. I feel that he has more strength, courage and determination over the other rangers which is why he was the leader of all the other red rangers. Apart from that, unlike the other red rangers after him, he was like the only who never really got an upgrade (ok he did get the green ranger's powers from Tommy but wasn't really something that big compare to the other red rangers) but he still kicks butt even when he is in his human form
All the way in the first season was great and things got more exciting when they introduced Tommy The Green Ranger. However, I never liked Tommy that much since he was always portrayed as the one to the rescuer when the other rangers had trouble but event though he might have been the savior in most of the ranger's battles, he was nothing compare to the Jason
The Zord battles were also great and I was really eager to see the Megazord once and for take out Goldar and Scorpina with his power Sword but sadly, that never happened. However, it was still great to watch though and I sometimes feel that the rangers fight Goldar and Scorpina better with the Megazord rather than on the ground
Then came the introduction of the Thunderzords and until now, I still can't choose which one's better between Thunderzords and Dinozords. However, it all then slowly started to go away from me when they introduced Tommy again this time as the White Ranger (which I really, really, REALLY hated and he was not suppose to be back in the series in during the first place). However even though Zordan did say that he was the new leader, he never really looked like one when Jason was still around but in my opinion, thats where it all started to go wrong. 1st off, Red is the symbol of leadership and having another color replacing its leadership was not a good idea. An example that failed was the Bettleborgs
Then finally, the killer blow was delivered into the show a few episodes later. When Jason, Zack and Trini left and were replaced by Rocky, Adam and Aishya the chemistry within the team especially when in the normal situations never really worked out with Rocky, Adam and Aishya around compared to Jason, Zack and Trini. I was really sad by this and ever since then, I've reduced my time watching the show especially when I can't seem to put up with Tommy bossing around all the time. I mean he never really had that spark as a leader compare to Jason since Jason most of the time works along with the team where Tommy on the otherhand, pphhhh just more to himself (He was just more of the showoff in my opinion) and the series buried itself deeper into the ground when they replaced Kim with Kat who didn't impress me that much
Later there was the introduction of the Zeo Rangers. However it was not really that great compare to the original MMPR but when Jason came back as the Gold Ranger, the show did get better and I feel that he was the saving grace of the show there for a while. I can't say much about starting from Zeo and onwards since I was never really into the show. I rather not go into the other series further since this review is about the MMPR
Overall I can say that this was definitely one of my favourite shows back then (apart Kamen Rider)and being able to watch it again on youtube etc. really brought the childhood back in me. I would welcome a movie remake of the Power Rangers but a series remake? Hhhhmmm........ I'm not so sure that it will be as good as before but its worth giving a try
IT'S MORPHIN TIME!
