Wild Force Had One of the Strangest Morphs in Power Rangers History

- Wild Force was certainly a weird time for the Power Rangers franchise, a lot of things were transitioning. Let's analyze the morph sequence and see just what could've happened, and how it differs from the majority of other morphs in Power Rangers!

Taylor Earlhart is a favourite character of mine because of the complexity of Cole and Taylor's relationship as rangers. Taylor became a Ranger LONG Before Cole Came into the frame.
The instant morph was being done since Power rangers Turbo. Hell the very first instant morph was done in Mighty Morphin season 1 when the rangers de-transformed. It's the evolution of practical effects and CGI. And Kamen rider had been doing more since 1999. Making every transformation in real time. At this point its simply tradition to have sequences.
To be fair, the Gaoranger henshin sequence is really cool. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Boutta say it's the same change sequence in both
I call Wild Force a Disney season specifically so that I can call Princess Shayla a Disney Princess
VALID
The Morpher thing always bothered me as a kid.
I was like "the morphers are the rangers? The morphers become people? Or are the rangers turning into the morphers that turn into rangers?"
it’s certainly out there!! It’s cool but also like.. wait huh?? LOL
I always thought the morphers contained the Ranger suits
To me it was always like a conduit. The call was to channel the power to the phone, and when they put it to their ears the power goes to them, kinda makes sense because Gao is onomatopoeia for beast roars in Japanese. The morpher thing was just kinda a visualization of how they transfer the power n suits to the rangers.
wild force is so nostalgic to me i think it was the first power rangers season i watched
that’s great!
Yo same here. Good times
Ok I get that, but sorry…. Wild Force was a cheap Copy of Gaoranger
@@HedgeOnStage am i the Only one who thinks Wild Force has the saddest Ranger Reveal in PR History?
Same with me! Wild Force was what got me into Power Rangers, and I still believe Wild Force is the best Power Rangers series!
When Disney bought Power Rangers, they were initially going to end the show with "Wild Force", and just air it in reruns like most of the other Saban shows they purchased, hence the title "The End of The Power Rangers".
0:07 I never Noticed the Japanese actors at the Intro of wild Force
LOL it’s cursed
@@HedgeOnStageI starting laughing 😂
@@HedgeOnStage I have probably watched the intro 200 times and never noticed so in my opinion it's not that bad. If anything I like it more as I will now just see it as an unintended nod to Senti
I always though it was the past wild force team 😂
@@jameswaker3461 could be Mariks Previous team yeah, a good cannon reason
Im really happy that i found someone online from pr fandom giving attention to details in the morphing sequences even more than i did as a kid much respect bro 👏
thank you for being here!! 🌈⚡️
I loved Wild Force. I feel like it did so much for Zord culture. From what I remember each ranger had their own sub-zord collection that they individually collected and cared for. I thought that was so cool when I was a kid!
Wild Force was my favourite season. It’s the one I remember the most watching and it had my all time favourite Power Ranger in Merrick. And my all time favourite episode in Forever Red.
Time Force is just as much a carbon copy of Timeranger, as Wild Force is Gaoranger.
Agreed. Not to mention there's stuff in Time Force that made more sense in Timeranger. 🤔
I mean, wtf were they supposed to do
@@minicle426Can you elaborate, please? I'm sincerely curious.
@@ThatDragonGuyYou could always pull a Alien Rangers/RPM😅
@@kyokugo6460
Pull a what now?
What I learned from this video is that Power Rangers can always come back to life, unlike Zordon.
😂😂😂😂 Wow…
Bro I hate when ppl say WildForce was a Disney season. I get it. But it was clearly done in the same manner that the previous 4 seasons of the show were. Production style, score, tone, etc….
Wild force had the red ranger get amnesia, take the jungle sword and star wailing on the bad guy when it was supposed to be a team finishing move, that sequence was hilarious.
Also zenakus theme on the flute is amazing.
This season was the 'return of jedi' of PR. It was definitely a sign of things to come post disney 😅
I LOVED Wild Force, it was always which animal will they find next!
Me to ! 🤩
Wild Force got me into the PR when it started airing on my country's Cartoon Network. It wasn't my favorite season (Ninja Storm was) but I for sure got hooked by the animal theme, the fights, Megazords etc. Definitely grateful that it came in to my life
that’s great!
This was cool. So happy someone gave Wild Force some love.
And your opening theme being of my favorite Rider and one of my favorite Sentai was awesome ❤
ty for being here!!!! ❤️
honestly the direct adaptations work pretty well imo. I grew up on this era, so to me Power Rangers are isolated stories-different teams across time and storage fighting with the same goal: protecting people and saving the world
wild force was the first season of power rangers that i truly enjoyed. afterwards, i went back to watch zeo, turbo, space when i was still a young boy
then ofc afterwards ninja storm, dino thunder and spd aired and i loved every single moment
The lead producer for this show was also just an advocate for not changing the show as it was adapted form super sentai to power rangers. The same producer also helmed Samurai and did the same thing of barely to not at all changing the show during adaptation.
wildforce was like my reentry to PR after i stop watching Zeo
I actually like the morphs that take one frame. Sure, the Morphing Sequence can be hype, but sometimes you just want to get right into the action.
Also, in one of the Gokaiger movies, it's explained that the morph takes hundredths of a second to do, so I would assume that other Sentai and PR morphs are roughly the same.
that’s always the case yes
Ahhh, you’re referring to the movie Gokaiger vs Gavan. In the final showdown against the MotW, a narrator explains (for no reason, maybe a callback to early Sentai/Metal Hero series 🤷🏾♂️) the time it takes for Gavan to “morph”, then right after, explains the Gokaigers morph time. A strange but nice sequence.
(Also, in said movie, I love the team color-matched Gokai Changes)
quite an analysis..i never thought of it as strange, but the most coolest morph before RPM tho, its so cool the ranger version keep the og
Wild Force is the Power Rangers series that got me back into Power Rangers after I'd been absent from the franchise since the beginning of In Space due to it not airing on Canadian channels anymore (only on Fox Kids) by that point. I missed most of Wild Force, but had found out that Forever Red was coming on and that both Jason David Frank AND Austin St. John were returning as Tommy (Zeo Ranger V Red) and Jason (Red Mighty Morphin Ranger). And then the Canadian channel it was on, Family Channel, began airing reruns of Lightspeed Rescue and Wild Force, while airing new episodes of Ninja Storm, and I ended up watching all of the reruns of both shows, and enjoyed both. I haven't seen Wild Force in over 20 years (I have it on DVD) and I completely forgot about that weird morphing sequence in "The End of the Power Rangers Part 1".
For me, that series that got me back in was Dino Thunder. It was the perfect season to restart on too, because it was a fantastic homage to the original Mighty Morphin era, complete with Tommy Oliver and everything. Before that, the last season I watched was probably Wildforce actually. But I was skipping around with it all.
Bro, the first 5 seconds hooked me and now I'm a subscriber. I literally haven't watched any farther but I'm sold. Great stuff, bravo
ty for being here! Use the playlist in the description! All of my Power Rangers deep dives, past and upcoming drop in there and they’re ordered by the series they represent ~
1:17 Never thought I see a SML reference in your videos. Lol
always a first time for everything shdjdj
Wild Force is my favourite Power Rangers series! First one I watched as a kid, what got me into Power Rangers and I think theres so much good about it! Forever Red episode superb, the opening theme is great, and the logo, Princess Shayla and her song with Merrick, the Red Rangers parents story with Master Org, and I liked how they used the climate change and environmental impacts for Kite in the episodes. Oh, and I did like that episode with Kite, Taylor and Max going to the rides 😅
I guess I didn't remember that the last episode sequence was different
GaoRed is nothing like Cole, GaoRed is a veterinarian who is so animal-obsessed that he doesn't seem interested in dating.
Forever Red is goated episode 🙌
I remember loving this show on Jetix when I was a kid, I completely forgot this thing existed, the phones are like mini-zords and transform during the morphing? Wut?
Seeing MJ dancing to that best was funny😂.
LOL
this show aired perfectly when I was obsessed with animal documentaries on tv, seeing all the animal zord just a feast to my eyes
I remember the Wild Force comics in Disney Adventure magazines. Was fun.
"Fit for overseas audiences," they assumed without any input from the audience.
5:57 This reminds me an awful lot of the live action Sailor Moon series.🤔
There’s a live action Sailor Moon series?
Yep, back in 2003, Toei and TV-Asahi did a live action adaptation of Sailor Moon.
Of course, we didn't get it in the US.
Thank you for talking about this morph in detail
you know it! ⚡️
0:09 WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
I'm wondering if that theme song they used for the Time Force promo was originally intended to open the show? I swear I heard it in some old Fox Kids bumpers.
I always believed it was one of the demo versions, it’s totally possible!
I think I heard it was made in the hopes that it would be the Wild Force theme, but then something about Disney not wanting to pay royalties forced them to make the one we got.
I could be wrong but I think was the theme was changed by Disney’s request
I fuckin love Wild Force
45 seconds in, and faving already for the Animus trash talking. Dude got it coming to him for the crap he pulled
LOLLLLL
Nearly a 1 to 1? Yes I've seen both, and there is minor differences like the red ranger being a veterinarian instead of a jungle boy, the white one defying her father to study martial arts and surpass him, instead of biology to become a teacher and follow her own path, and there was no human turning into an org. But it was really good. Even the anniversary episode was similar. They showed all red rangers together, but in gaoranger the team does fight and they learn about past heroes in the development of the special.
I watched it as a teen and I liked it. You should watch gaoranger, it's really good
maybe some day!
thx for the insight!
rewatching wild force is hard lmao the acting, especially on danny
It was definitely a lil rough at times lol
NO WAY, DAIJI PUNCHING THE SCREEN 😤☝️
LMAO
There was grave mistake in the episode where Max was trapped by the Bell Org. After he (Max) was freed, Danny gave him back his Growl-phone, but it (the Growl-phone) had the Lion figure on it instead of the shark.
This is my favorite and most rewatched season how am I just now notice the Japanese actors
I always thought the morpher was a retractable armor that expanded and covered the ranger than shifted to the suit through the morphin grid
Out of all the seasons I've watched wild force had the best finale
Ironically, it's still one of my favorite seasons. Never saw it as a kid, since I started with Ninja Storm.
I'd rather have the over-the-top acting of Wild Force than the under acting of Megaforce.
I always loved Wild Force, just like from Mighty Morphin - Time Force.
why did i never know about the the wild force alternate morph despite me being a dedicated power rangers fan for 15 years
If my research is correct, the CGI for Gaoranger (and any of it that was re-used for Wild Force) was all done by one guy.
It's likely that the CGI made specifically for Wild Force was made by a team.
:O
4:57 may be the villen will not wait till the end of morphing....
Wildforce is based 🗿
The hyakujuu-ken "team cannon" was only featured in the WFR finale episode as it was replaced by the WF "jungle cannon". I do wonder why the former was NEVER seen in the US version throughout the series when in fact it looked so cool!?
Gao Rock, the turtle-shaped "ship" in Gaoranger, was also never seen on WFR and was replaced by the "Animarium" or the floating beast island in Gaoranger.
Zeo's sequence is also copy paste in a very similar manner
My introduction to PR....so you better talk nice🔪
I remember watching this while eating pizza on the floor with some ranch. Ahh, memories
Princess Shayla is really beautiful
Isn’t Wild Force considered one of the only truer adaptations? Correct me if I’m wrong but Wild Force was actually a near perfect “1 to 1” of Gaoranger. Yes it has its Americanized filler but the story was rather close to its predecessor. Gao literally means wild or sometimes roar in Japanese, overall Wild Force as corny as it was (I mean that lightly) still holds up relatively well. Great video! Also I’d love to know why you’re a ToQger fan and if you have any thoughts on Lupinranger VS Patoranger
It would've been... interesting had Dino Charge done the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger change sequence.
The phone transformations were so...😭
Wild force was weird, I watched it after my first season samurai, but it was still good and I enjoyed it
fold force
@@HedgeOnStage AUTOCORRECT ACTUALLY FUNNY 🤣🤣💀
What bothered me was how the back of animals turns into their faces!!
Why couldn't it be the same side
Wildforce was GOATED
0:56 Wild Force was the last Power Rangers on Fox kids then it moved to Disney mid-season
Imo Power Rangers should’ve ended with Wild Force. You couldn’t top the Forever Red episode.
Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder (the last two seasons I watched) were okay but just didn’t have that same feel as previous seasons, maybe it was Disney effect?, I don’t know.
My era of Power Rangers was from Lightspeed Rescue (2000) to Dino Thunder (2004), but they did show re runs of Mighty Morphin (93 to 95) to Lost Galaxy (99).
So when I was young I basically got to see all Power Rangers seasons from Mighty Morphin to Dino Thunder (I like to call that era the classic era of Power Rangers, as everything after Dino Thunder doesn’t count to me).
But I digress, for me Wild Force was kinda the end of it all, I still watched Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder but as I said they didn’t feel the same to me.
For all the faults of Wild Force, I definitely don’t think the morphing sequence or ranger suits are one of them, at least not to me. All these years and their morphing sequence and suits still rank as my all time favourite 😂 There are better seasons out there but I just really loved the animal theme, and I loved that the Wild Zords are alive and the rangers are shown to have a bond with their primary Zord, though I wish they showed all of them talking to and hanging out with their Zords more, not just Cole and the lion.
Hope you're having a good day
6:40 You can tell that the monster was carrying a dummy
I fucking love wild force, It's so awesome.. Especially since it was my first power rangers and I had the battlizer action figure as a kid.. Even had one of the morphers because I have always thought the morph is awesome
Because nothing captures the raw natural force of the animal spirit like... cell phones. 😜
4:59
This is what villain see when ranger morph
WILD ACCESS!
GUARDIANS OF THE EARTH, UNITED WE ROAR
Dope video.
I love Wild Force but it definitely has some rough edges
Not sure if you already have a video on him, but can you do Zen-Aku? He was that villain that was so good, I wanted the rangers to defeat him, but I didn't want him to go so soon. I need to hear someone talk about him.
The playlist in the description has every deep dive in order of series.
Zen-Aku isn’t on the schedule but I’ll keep it in my back pocket~
Saying wild force is 1 to 1 from Gaoranger is just disrespectful
Gaoranger was so good
Can I just say that Dino Thunder basically used a full episode of Abaranger but dubbed it
I mean.. yeah lol
Wildforce was the bomb yo
As a kid, Wild Force was my shit. As an adult, I def stand up for Time Force.
I like both!
I remember for my birthday one year I got the wolf ranger figure that could change into the wolf zord…… there was also a big ass cicada on the porch that scared everyone at the party and my step dad beat it with a broom
it was an org coming for the wolf Ranger
Wait, they actually had the Japanese Sentai actors visible in the Visors in the Morph there ....... What the heck
Hey, now THIS is my power rangers. I used to watch the Japanese version on dvd on repeat back then.
Mmpr was the first power rangers I seen, and every other seasons except rpm, I hate rpm
WAAAAGUUUAAANN
My childhood 😢
They're not the same, Gaoranger had a different overall vibe from Wild Force especially because of the theme song being a 180 from the PR counterpart and way more energetic, and it knew when to jump from the fun and lighthearted moments to the serious ones, like Gaoblue's helmet break moment for example, so you're still watching a sentai show made for kids but with genuinely intense moments to keep you on the edge of your seat. And when it comes to the morph itself, if that one unique morph really was a scrapped PR version, then it makes sense to keep the original since despite what it is, is one of the less outlandish morphs, especially compared to the season before it Timeranger where they do a funky pose and freeze midair, or the season after with Hurricanger where they perform that sort of Japanese poem roll call everytime they morph.
When I was a kid, wild force was the one pr season I watched almost 100% (didn't have internet). I loved it so much that I wanted the dx megazord or the kongzord but my parents obviously couldn't afford it. Now that I have work, I can't afford it either haha.
0:52 This is wrong, Disney did not buy the Power Rangers franchise from Saban; Disney bought Saban Entertainment and Power Rangers was this thing Disney had to take as part of the Saban purchase. Disney did not want to make the Power Rangers shows but was forced to keep the series going because of existing contractual obligations, most likely with Bandai of America.
“…and Power Rangers was this thing Disney had to take as part of the Saban purchase”
Disney bought Power Rangers
They sold it back to Saban after RPM. You’re doing almost exactly what the joke was framing in the video lmao
@@HedgeOnStage ...and Disney still did not buy Power Rangers (per se) FROM Saban as you said in the video. What Disney really bought was Saban Entertainment for their TV network and international distribution, and Disney couldn't NOT take Power Rangers as part of the acquisition. So yes, Disney did buy Power Rangers, but it was through the transitive property of buying Saban Entertainment. Disney was finally able to get rid of Power Rangers when Saban Brands was later formed and offered to buy JUST Power Rangers from them.
you said Disney didn’t buy Power Rangers, and that that was wrong
and just went back and said yes they did, meaning the statement was never wrong.
You can introduce facts and little details without declaring someone being wrong, arguing semantics is never fun
I don't think you can say Power Rangers is dead, Dino & Cosmic Fury weren't bad seasons and really have me excited for the future of the franchise
whether a season is “bad” or not doesn’t dictate what a company is doing with the franchise
your always entitled to your own opinion of course ~
Very first Season that Aired in Indian
Wild force is gaoranger but better the characters are better and coles story arc is exclusive to wild force
Power Rangers Wild Force was awesome 😎
For some reason if you see the Gaoranger Footage it makes more sense
Forever Red is an important episode of Power Rangers for me. I legit saw it the first day it came out in NA and I lost my shizz.
Wild Force was cold smh
I love Wild Force. But only because I didn’t watch Gaoranger first. Basically, it was the proto-Samurai. I didn’t like Samurai when it aired because I watched Shinkenger long beforehand. Since I did, the two year Samurai tenure was excruciating. Based on that experience, I’m sure Wild Force would have been too.
