    The History of Power Rangers arrives at a concept never seen before in the show - Rangers with dinosaur powers fighting a villain whose name rhymes with "Tedd!"

      and another reason why you should NEVER EVER EVER EVER try to take on depression alone...to keep in the theme of the video...its that villain who's plan is to break the team up so that they can't support eachother.
      As someone who battles depression on a daily basis, I'm able to keep pushing forward because I know my friends and family are by my side every step of the way and will help me out when I'm having it rougher than usual.
      edit: wanted to add I'm not making light of JDF's passing, just saying that if you try to battle it on your own without help from others, it's an extremely difficult uphill fight.

    My favorite bit of foreshadowing about Amelia's true nature: in one episode, Solon makes a bunch of Rafkonian cakes for the team to eat as part of some celebration. Everyone eats them, but while Javi, Izzy, and Ollie seem to not like them, it's Zayto, Aiyon, and Amelia that absolutely love them.

      Okay, I'm probably overanalyzing here, but I don't care.
      If their tastebuds are that different, then wouldn't they hate human food as much as the humans hate Rafkonian food? Wouldn't Amelia notice that she doesn't like most foods that her friends seem to love? Not only that, the series ends with Aiyon opening a cafe serving authentic Rafkonian cuisine... but how would that sell among the humans? I don't think he'd get enough business if it only catered to the colonists.
      Maybe it's just the cake that's off-putting to humans and other food they're fine with. But that seems way too specific so I'm calling bullshit on that. Hopefully, in Cosmic Fury, they'll address this significant plot hole. Maybe only one specific Rafkonian fruit is the problem.

      ​​@theblackwidowerw ell, I don't think it's necessarily a case of humans not like rafkonian cuisine, because not everyone likes the same things as everyone else. This is especially true when it comes to food. Some people like spicy food, others dont. Some people think caviar or foie Gras are exquisite food items, and others think it's disgusting. Besides, we only had one aspect of their cuisine, the cakes. Whose to say other Rafkonian meals aren't things people wouldnt absolutely want to try? Just saying

    Two tiny fun facts: 1) in my and the writers' heads, Dino Fury is in the same universe as Beast Morphers. The only other universe seasons are RPM and Dino Charge. And 2) The original Dino Fury theme song did not have 'Go Go Power Rangers in it. It was added at the last minute at the request of Hasbro Brand - who felt that like 'It's Morphin Time!' It's a key part of the brand. This stipulation about 'GGPR' has changed now, as the people who were there at that time have since moved on.

    • @AT4W
      @AT4W  Рік тому +172

      Oh, assuredly so I know that Beast Morphers is in the prime universe along with Dino Fury. It's just to me it didn't really make sense for it to be.
      But obviously the actual creators' intentions kind of override me nitpicky nonsense. XD
      Personally I like the inclusion of Go Go Power Rangers as a recurring brand thing, I just didn't like the theme itself - doesn't do anything interesting with it and it felt tuneless and once again techno-y electronica stuff doesn't match with the season. In my opinion, Dino Charge is the gold standard for still incorporating Go Go Power Rangers while making the song its own thing.

    Void Knight honestly felt like a breath of Fresh Air given how so much of his forces were clearly him adapting to his present situation rather than him coming pre-packaged with them as your standard evil overlord. Made him feel like he was on the same sort of footing as these mostly inexperienced Rangers before bigger and badder threats started showing up.
    And I also love how it feels mirrored with Zedd who, while an old hand at this sort of thing, has basically returned from death with nothing but his bare hands and is forced to plan his way back to the top.

    3:28 To emphasize this point a little bit, I want to point out that Donbrothers, the Sentai that just finished airing, is the first show where the toy of the robot can actually move all its joints like the robot in the show can. And this is because just before Donbrothers started production, one of the executives noticed that his son was annoyed that his toy couldn't move like the one in the show. It took 45 years for someone to realize that kids like it when their toys can move. That's how stupid executives are.

      Daym! So executives do actually listen to feedback?!
      Cause this is my biggest gripe with figures in general.
      I like it when my figures have source accurate painting and sculpting, and lots of articulation for complex poses.
      Specifically head, neck, arm, elbow, wrist, waist, leg, knee, and ankle articulation are the minimum requirements.

    • @RunicSigils
      @RunicSigils 23 дні тому

      More articulation means more complicated to put together means a more expensive toy means less sales means less profit.
      Knowing what people want doesn't matter when you only care about how much money you can make doing it.
      No one actually wants MTX/DLC/live service/gacha/free to play/to not own things either.
      But it makes the publisher/suits working at the dev more money that way.
      That's why they run massive advertising campaigns. It's brain washing to get you to accept things that you otherwise wouldn't and to buy products that you actively shouldn't.
      Good things spread by word of mouth. They don't need advertising. Every ad you have ever seen without going out of your way to look it up yourself is for a product or service to actively be avoided.

    The Lokar thing is actually pretty cool. In Ryusoulger, the suit was them saving the budget in the second half. So they reused the Lokar suit from a special mini series event that happened earlier in the year. (also fun fact: the main villain of the special was named Rita and the director of it said the plan was to say she was Bandora's kid) Toei just reused the suit and renamed it as a different villain.

    I'm not sure if you encountered this but Bennett reported that Zayto and Aiyon's conflict WAS planned to be a multi episode arc, but apparently one of the ongoing mandates was that Rangers couldn't keep ongoing conflicts against other Rangers outside of brainwashing.
    I can see how 'Waking Nightmare's' would have made an ending point for a mini arc there.
    Not clear who was giving that mandate, though I got the impression from Simon that the transfer from Nick to Netflix might have freed them up a bit.

    I really have no problem with writers trying to retcon and give a viable explanation to mistakes in the past, even if they werent their own mistakes. It shows that these people care about the overall story and are willing to go back and try and fix the plot holes, and it gives the satisfaction to the fans who no longer have to complain about these plot holes. And I felt like they did a good enough explanation about who the Morphin Masters are that people who didnt read the comics or know about that single line of dialogue from the first season of power rangers wouldnt feel out of the loop or confused.

      Agreed I actually REALLY like lore being explored/explain about how the powers work. I'm still curious on the creation of the Zords themselves, but the power sources the different teams use to tap into the Grid having an origin as being granted by the guardians of said Grid (outside of times it was clearly stuff reversed engineered from destroyed Ranger tech) was very clever and a nice way to give a throw-away line meaning. Especially when you remember Zordon said that the Power Coins weren't something he himself created. And bringing them in post-comic also makes sense because maybe after the events of the Shattered Grid, Green is more willing to be proactive since NOT getting involved when they could have is what lead to Drakkon becoming such a huge threat.

    53:00 Regarding Beast Morphers being in the prime universe, here's my theory. The previous ranger teams' identities were secret, with the exception of the Space Rangers and Lightspeed Rescue. Grid Battleforce was given the morphers and other gadgets from other teams, but not their names. Something about the previous rangers moving on with their lives, not wanting to risk it getting leaked to the general public, especially since it looks like a lot of other countries are also working on this project, etc.

    That's why Devon had to risk himself stepping into the Morphing Grid like that. Through the connection he not only called for help but also learned their identities which is why he recognized Jason when he showed up.

    Also one of the teams that came to help was Dino Charge, which is from a forked timeline so they at least wouldn't be contactable by normal means.

    I feel like there's a simple explanation for why Zedd is treated almost blase by Grid Battleforce; It's been decades, in-universe. There's been plenty of world-shaking bad guys since that threatened the world, and Zedd just isn't that noteworthy if we go off the "there were past rangers" canon. Throw in the fact that Zedd got usurped by the Machine Empire and Royal House of Gadgetry, Serpenterra is confirmed destroyed, and his wife is now the Mystic Mother on the side of good, and Zedd just... doesn't hold the same level of weight to his threat he used to. A powerhouse on his own, sure, but hardly worth a Zordon-Sacrifice.

    On the topic of the multiple universes of Power Rangers, I can kind of see how you could get confused by it and understand your position on it, but at the end of the day, I think you might be overthinking it. Basically, unless stated otherwise or the world of a series is vastly different from other Ranger series, the series takes place in the main continuity. The main basis for why RPM and Dino Charge had to be from different dimensions is because they just can't fit in properly with the main continuity due to the nature of their worlds; RPM being post apocalyptic, and Dino Charge, while it could have been part of the main continuity at some point, basically made it impossible due to its ending. While you do raise points about certain aspects of Beast Morphers that make it questionable, the simple fact that the world itself isn't all that radically different from the world of the majority of past PR series means it's part of the main continuity by default.

    - Zedd was "revived" by taking his pure evil essence (via dimensional space time travel) and recreating it, meaning he doesn't have the human form inside himself to hold back.
    - As far as the "main"/"alternate" universe thing with Beast Morphers, remember that Rita, Sledge, and NASADA were name-dropped in Beast Morphers. In regards to Jason, it is just to make his appearance extra special for some stupid reason. Why didn't they call the MMPR or Lightspeed Rangers to help with Zedd? Because the show didn't have the budget for it. It's the same reason why none of the Rangers actively helped the Megaforce Rangers or why past teams don't show up immediately when new giant monsters and Zords start running rampant.

    Finally! Also, one of things I liked about Dino fury was some of the foreshadowing. For example, about Amlia's relation with Void knight's, this was more or less teased in the end of season 1, where Amelia was the first to tackle him. In season 2, when they were eating rafkon cakes, amelia enjoyed eating them while the rest minus Aiyon and Zayto didn't. Another hint was when Tarrick was revealed, Amelia was the first to call out his identity. It's small details like this that makes me respect the season a bit more.
    Oh, and as for why season 1 struggled, it's because dino fury was originally going to be just one season, but as it was picked up for two, most of the filler episodes where produced for the first season. It's why season 2 had a bit more serialization.
    Btw linkara, one question: what do you think about the other villains minus Void knight, lord zedd and void queen? Some thought mucus and slyther were annoying but I kinda like them. Plus, seeing them living a normal life after void queen's defeat makes me wonder if this is the first time since whiger in jungle fury where non-human villains finally turned to the good. Although it could just be a jindrax and toxica scenario where they're just waiting for the right moment to strike lol anywya would love to hear your thoughts on them.

      S'all good! Whenever I start working on it, I usually do a long Twitter thread giving my reactions as I watch and write. Helps coalesce my thoughts, get insights from people, and workshop jokes for the video. Here's Dino Fury's - twitter.com/Linkara19/status/1596062946815348736

      @@AT4W I'm kind of curious what your HOPR plan is for the MMPR 30th special Once & Always given it is coming before Cosmic Fury since the video didn't address it. Is the review for that going to be lumped with the Cosmic Fury review or will it be given its own separate short HOPR video?

    This is one of those seasons that works surprisingly well. Sure, it has it's flaws but none of those flaws are a deal breaker and you find yourself really liking how things turn out.

      Dino Fury was... not that great in my opinion. It just didn't exactly meet my standards. It omitted way too much from Ryusoulger, and they did Pricious (Void King's counterpart) dirty. It had a bad theme song. The acting was way too subdued in a lot of scenes. Amelia and Ollie got on my nerves so many times. The sporix beast weren't as compelling as the Minosaurs from Ryusoulger. It uses the legacy too much. They used another ToQger villain. And it just felt so juvenile. I don't know maybe Kamen Rider set my standards too high.

      Well not entirely. If it did tho, it was to do it's own thing.

      As if. Maybe it was a bit much sometimes, but come on man.

      @@dylansharp8471 The Minosaurs were created from humans, meaning that they were tied into and had connections to the character of the week, making them more important and them growing was because they too human life energy. The Sporix are just your basic run of the mill monsters. They weren't even that threatening they were just idiots.

      @@dylansharp8471 Ollie was a prick, whenever he learned his lesson, it never really stuck and Amelia's superstitious beliefs made no sense because monsters show up all the time in power rangers and she's out here looking for big foot and junk, who cares about big foot when you have a giant monster fighting a giant robot right outside your window?!
