RPM was PEAK Power Rangers. Great writing, great acting, great character for every ranger (especially Ziggy, Dillon and even Dr K), great humour, highest stakes, and a menacing villain that actually brought humanity to the brink of extinction. It was so dark and intense for Power Rangers and I loved it
This is what modern power rangers is missing. The rangers in RPM, and a good chunk of the Disney era, feel like an actual team. People who are forced to work together for the greater good and don't always gel with one another. They argue ,can get sick of one another, they call eachother out when they needed to and acted like complete idiots. they feel human. Modern PR teams feel so sanitized. A bunch of people who are instantly bff's after becoming a team and help the community in their spare time. I really hope Hasbro goes back to treating teams as a group of random people with different backgrounds and motives, rather than hip and cool camp counselors
It seems like they're trying to mimic the original team, but they're forgetting why that team worked. They knew each other BEFORE they became Rangers. When Tommy came he and Jason were given an episode to develop their friendship. They lost some fights, made mistakes. When Jason failed to get the Green Candle it haunted him all the way to Zeo. Even after Tommy said he forgave Jason for that. Plus all that was the 90's. We're no longer satisfied with that kind of writing. And Power Rangers has evolved beyond that. We need more Lost Galaxy, and less Megaforce.
While I agree that this works well overall, I hesitate to throw other teams under the bus for it. Especially when Operation Overdrive showed how it could be handled poorly. Personally, I feel like there's room for both kinds of vibes since Dino Charge onwards has that ooegy-gooey sincerity and optimism that, frankly, I need more in my life. I like that the Ninja Steel Rangers got each other's back with Calvin and Hayley being a couple right out the gate. Beast Morphers has Steel be the life of the party but still heartful. The actors are still unknowns but clearly bounce off of each other well. When it doesn't work, you get the likes of Megaforce where it's not just that the characters are overly nice but that there's nothing else beneath the surface to flesh them out more. It's just battle, battle, battle. Even when we see their high school life, it's just... padding at best with little application to their Ranger duites. Why is Troy such a stiff on camera but a shouty leader as a Ranger? Are they gonna do anything with Jake pining over Gia? At least, Noah gets solid arc of self-confidence building but even that's pretty dry. And Emma is... Emma. :/ I could do without any self-aware humor or Ranger friction (though some Sixth Rangers could be more their own thing before slowly joining the core five) but it has to have HEART.
Agreed, PR before was always cheesy but it had a genuine charm to it in the 90's and 2000's mostly. The show's after this one, have the energy of an unfunny cheap modern sitcom that try to mimic the first show. Maybe I'm just a jaded idiot, but I can get the same experience as THIS PR elsewhere so it doesn't matter anyway
Well, the adapted Super Sentai, Kyoryuger, was mainly directed by Koichi Sakamoto, who was also the stunt coordinator and executive producer during Disney Era, so of course most footage they took was directed by him so yeah.
@@flapflapflapflap currently, Hasbro doesn't have the rights for King-Ohger, and also they apparently don't like the idea of Super Sentai to begin with, so I don't think they'll want to adapt it any time soon
@@maxmeidl4909 I would not mind you saying time force or In space but The finales for Dino thunder was Hot Garbage, Rpm is better then both jungle fury and Dino thunder in Story, characters and Villains.

Alt Titles: RPM somehow being the funniest team for 3 minutes.
While also being the darkest season

Idk why they feel like ninjago characters
"I don't even like you..."
"...That's ok, we know! But we can still like you, can't we?"
Still one of the nicest things I've ever heard.
Who could ever be mad at Gem and Gemma?
"I'M SCOTTISH"
wise words
this season SLAYED, so dark yet so funny, they even questioned the weird bits about the franchise as a whole. fucking awesome.
Every character even the side characters were great.
@@VOID-gz6jk fr! Not every season pulls that off and even when they do they forget it all (MYSTIC FORCE COUGH)
That’s why RPM is one of my favourite seasons
@@hayleymcgough8567 same here. :>
2:30 Trying to make the baby laugh be like
This is the same season that takes place in a poat apocalyptic universe.

For some reason, that last paragraph reminded me of Ninja Steel
I have zero Scottish ancestry but Flynn saying he's Scottish gave me Scottish pride.
3 minutes of Ziggy
literally istg we need a ziggy return
we love ziggy
I love how most of the moments were Ziggy scenes.
0:58 blue rpm ranger: i'm scottish!
This is the most funniest LINE from Power Rangers rpm
Back when power rangers had good dialogue and the humor was actually funny.
Even before RPM, I feel most seasons weren’t as good as this
I love that most of this is Ziggy
0:51 the timing is hilarious
Omg I love this 😂
Disney put a load more effort in to PR. Dino Charge is the only one that can live up to Disney's standards
Just wish the action didn't suffer.

@@hirokishinguji I didn't know that
I pray to lord they wont mess up King-Ohger...

0:36 is that butler being used as a foot stool?
@@awesomeewan rich people things
2:49 Why is Go-Onger there?
@charliemcgraffin390I wouldn’t use adaptation.

Hot take: rpm is overrated, and I do not care about it.
Fight me.
I only care about the high octane megazord and the other rpm zords
I can gladly fight you tho
I guess you don't like Good characters, Story, Humor and actually menacing villains.Rpm is better then most power Rangers..
@@d_izzyy things that ARE BETTER than rpm: in space, dino thunder, jungle fury, MOTHERFUCKING time force. Just to name a few.
@@maxmeidl4909 I would not mind you saying time force or In space but The finales for Dino thunder was Hot Garbage, Rpm is better then both jungle fury and Dino thunder in Story, characters and Villains.
Ah, another ragebait "fight me" thread. Never gets old. ☕
