@HedgeOnStage yeah of course but it adds to the dynamic, I remember seeing something about the casting of jack having a deeper meaning. Black and white, red and blue both polar opposites, but really well reflected in jack and sky. Even their back stories, but both still show heroism and doing the right thing

This fact always bothered me, especially having seen Deka before SPD. Even the SPD executive producers admitted later that the ball of light idea for Omega Ranger was a bad idea. I also don't buy the "a 7th Ranger actor wasn't in the budget" argument, especially after RPM had no problem with its full cast of 7th Rangers plus other main cast members. Apparently the ball of light this was an actual conscious creative decision they made during production, and... yeah, it didn't land at all.
Jack handing Sky his Morpher and letting him be the Red Ranger for that one time is one of my favorite SPD moments because even though Heroes comes in all colors Jack knew letting Sky be the Red Ranger for this fight was incredibly important to Sky he not only got justice for his father death but also in that moment Sky got to continue his father's legacy as the Red Ranger for this one moment 😭🤘🔥🔥
As a Power Ranger fan who's been there since the beginning I must say that Jack is the best Red Ranger and these episodes prove it. I always said Jack may not be the Red Ranger you always want, but he was the Red Ranger that was needed to get the job done.
I don't really know how to judge someone as a good red ranger, But I do know that Jack is written as probably the best team leader, we have multiple episodes of him looking out for his teammates and actually admitting to each of them when he's wrong and should've believed in them.
It turns out at the end Skye wasn’t really angry Jack was chosen because of his dad, he was angry cause he’s a white supremacist. Heroes don’t come in all “colors” in his book. Classic sky. 😅
They blessed us with SPDs writing. I was only 12 at the time but compared to some lesser seasons, episodes like this look even better on a retrospective
Jacks really shocked me when i watched S.P.D. He was a black man who had locks was from the street had a problem with authority and ain't want anything to do with the police force but stepped up did what he needed to and choose his community in the end, ment a lot to see real representation for us man was a legend 💪🏿🔥🔥🔥
Spd is peak And Jack is a unique ranger. Moving on from spd when the mission was over cuz he wanted to do more. But he still answered the call as red ranger when he was called upon to do so.
I swear to god heros come in all colors is such a line Not only in the sense of brightly colored based superheros but also in the diversity of characters weve had as rangers Man spd and rpm were so different idk they treated their audiences with not mature stories but mature themes
I remember during the "Disney era" for some reason the "genwunners" of MMPR fans were talking very reckless. Hindsight almost a decade later the Disney era is "praised" after the Neo Saban era. He was a cheap ass during the 90s and his cheap ass continued in the 2010s.

While my dad introduced me to the Power Rangers franchise through the original MMPR series, SPD were my childhood team… Jack Landors was my generation’s Red Ranger. He and Sky (along with Cruger) were largely the main focus on the SPD series and story and the character arcs the two went through to make that Mirlock moment so power was amazing. Jack had to learn the responsibility of power, and the importance of reading his teammates and understanding what they need (for example during the Sinuku episode when Jack went out of his way to learn why a birthday was so important after he upset Syd) and Sky had to learn how to let go of his pride and realize that his rank doesn’t necessary determine his worth. When Jack gave his morpher to Sky so Sky could finish Mirlock in the same colors as his father… it completed Jack’s arc by showing that he can now understand the needs of anyone… even Sky who was once hard to work with. And for Sky, he graciously returns Jack’s morpher to him at the end of the two parter, finally realizing that his blue rank doesn’t make him a lesser man or ranger. He recognizes what Jack did for him… and fully accepts that Cruger made the right choice. Both characters matured so much to get to this point… and man is it cathartic every time I revisit SPD to get to this point because Jack and Sky went through hell and back to finally forge the friendship that they did.
Among dino thunder, SPD was my personal second favorite. All the characters were perfect, every story arc was top notch, and the growth each ranger goes through makes it so worth while to watch. Especially jack and sky's relationship. Jack's line of "Heros come in all colors" is one of the best lines in the whole series.
SPD has a special place in my heart, it was the first Power Rangers series I watched from beginning to end. Jack was like my favorite Ranger ever at the time, loved his dynamic with Sky.
I haven't seen all of SPD's episodes, but the ones I have always have the best interactions with Jack and Sky. The first was Jack resting on his laurels about being the Red Ranger, relaxing while everyone was training. By the end, Jack is working into the night, with Sky watching him having the final vote if Jack should be kicked out or not. The next was when a friend of Sky's is a traitor, and Sky wants to bring him in alone. Jack can't let that happen due to regulations but points out things that the team does that can give Sky a few minutes to do what he needs to. These two are Yin and Yang. Two sides of the same coin that complete each other. While I haven't seen them all, this dynamic is probably the best in Power Rangers.
Same growing up as a young black kid in the early 2000s I wanted to be TJ and Jack so badly because they looked like me and were the Red Rangers and leaders of their team
he's my 3rd favorite ranger of all time. first being Tommy and the 2nd being Nick from Mystic Force. All 3 of them had amazing character development and story.
Such an awesome story they told with this relationship. You could feel both their emotion. The line "heroes come in all colors" I feel at least in the context of this group of rangers really shined. They all had their hurdles to get over and each had their own adversity to overcome throughout the whole show. Such a strong group man.
I think the tittle of the episode is amazing, because it shows how ranger color, skin color, nothing matters more then who you are, such a hype episode from a hype season
The more I look back, SPD cooked so hard, the stove was running out of gas for Mysthic Force, and burned out by the time Operation Overdrive hit the frying pan.
Heroes come in all colors is a line I think about when it comes to superheroes. I felt for Sky and was so proud of him. I grew with Power Rangers and I loved watching it as well as played with the toys. Good video
You know what all the jumping flipping and shenanigans in every different flavor of the season I sometimes forget the rangers stories can be very deep and dark
As a little kid and to this day, Jack Landors was, and is my all-time favorite Power Rangers character. I'm not black, so I can't relate to him on the same level you did, but I related to him in terms of character so much that I thought that while we might not share the same skin color, we share the same heart. Like he said, heroes come in all colors.
@@HedgeOnStage I mean that's a good character. To me the best character is if you can relate to them regardless of skin color they have, of course while holding even more value to those of the same group they represent as well.
That's why SPD is one of the best seasons ever. The development and the strong cast it has is one of the most powerful in all PR franchise. Sometimes people think RPM is the best in Disney era but, hey, SPD is really top too.
This moment was iconic, unparalleled - weve never had anything quite like it before or since. SPD is one of the show's best seasons. Second best Disney season.
when Jack saying Heroes come in all colors at the start, i knew this was going to be a fantastic 2 parter. great episodes and character character arc for Sky.
Man the Disney seasons up till RPM really had a lot of soul. The execution was a hit or miss but you could feel that the actors, the script writers, directors (basically everyone other than Disney themselves) really cared about the show
It's been years since I watched SPD but I always saw it as a favorite, and it was the last series I watched, as I was getting older and Power Rangers was "for kids" OBVIOUSLY. Them having powers was also unique and I always liked that. Looking back, it's so cool that they essentially had Stand abilities.
I wish we saw more of the Rangers switching colors throughout the seasons. Maybe not a frequent thing, but in special moments where it's an organic thing like with Sky, that'd be cool.
I remember this episode; it is mindblown for the kid me that having the idea of blue getting lent the power of red with backstory behind it. You know what is better, after this Jack and Sky synergy became even more solid as a team.
Spd is my favorite out of all the power rangers series and seeing the development of both jack and sky was pretty cool at first they didn't like one another but over time they both taught one another different things on being a ranger. When sky was blinded by his friend returning Jack knew something was up. Jack was always there for sky
The line was pretty much Jack saying to Sky and be extension the audience that it's not just the red ranger that makes power rangers, it's all of them as a team working together, every one of the team has the qualities to be a leader regardless of who they are and what colour they are wearing.
SPD is one of my favorite seasons Mostly because of the fight choreo incorporating a lot of capoeira, and I tend to like cop shows. I also dig the little nod to Hawaiian Five-oh in the theme song
For as powerful as this two-parter was, I feel it was a major misstep by the showrunners to not do original footage for the pre-Battlizer fight against Mirloc. Even as a kid, I found it incredibly confusing why this important battle for Sky... had the first part of it taken up by the nothing character that was the Omega Ranger. It wasn't until watching Dekaranger that I learned that this plotline was originally meant for DekaBreak (best 6th senshi imo) and the first fight was recycled Sentai footage. I feel it would've been more satisfying if Sky had been the one to stand alone against Mirloc, maybe even Jack throwing Sky the morpher near the start of the fight before being captured. It just feels a bit cheap that the first part of the episode is taken up by the wasted potential of the Omega Ranger...
Exactly. Genio’s fight will always belongs to Tetsu. Hell, it was a weak excuse and how tremendous that Disney butchers and downgrade Dekabreak from Vice SPD to Timeranger sequel ranger called Timebreak😒🤦♂️
I would have been great to see jack and sky have a serious 1v1 fight against each other as rangers in the form of a spiteful sparring match or something. I also wanted to see who was really the more skilled ranger on terms of physical combat.
Sometimes I like to think Jack came back to SPD but with a different team. I liked him too much to see him leave suddenly 😢 but then again he earned his new lifestyle doing whatever he … did lol
I watched both Timeranger and Dekaranger.... Both shows literally 'nukes' timeforce and SPD from orbit...the feels those shows have, the stakes! Also timeforce tech is from hundreds of years ahead of SPD but they digitize the enemies in SPD and freeze the enemies in timeforce, the technology has gone backwards
Fun fact, this is the first battlelyser to appear in the super sentai version. Secondary fun fact the battlelyser appeared after the American version was done in crossover event of with the Mystic force version of the sentai.
I've always been a bit mixed on the lesson of this two-parter. While yes, heroes do in fact come in all colors, it's dulled by the fact that until they get SWAT mode, Jack is the only one who can use the battlizer, effectively lowering the combined potential strength of team. Note that this whole conflict only started when Sky was told only the red ranger was compatible with the battlizer technology. If all the rangers had access to it, he wouldn't care about the whole "I'm blue and you're red" thing again. Heroes may comes in all colors, but as we see here, some colors are better than others.
I feel he wouldn’t care in the Battlizer sense, but that lingering jealousy of the red powers would still be in effect to some degree I believe I fully see your point ~
To be fair, Sky does kinda have a point about how power upgrades are always biased towards Red which does tend to be a bit silly, especially when the others get absolutely nothing
Man great video before Black Panther and Miles Morales for me growing up it was Jack the SPD red ranger I saw myself in as a hero that’s why he’ll always be my number one favorite Red ranger.
cost effective. Greg Aronowitz has said before Disney was cutting back on the budget for Power Rangers, and we know that to be the case for the shows that succeeded SPD as well. Same reason In Space suits were repurposed for the A-Squad team, and even Boom’s Orange Ranger
He said it talking about colours of the team but also meant skin colour. I get people can get scared to know a kids show was trying something but obviously it was made to be that way especially with the two characters that were used in the scene. (which disney was known for doing alot) It makes me interested in the tension of their leader-subordinate dynamic in the beginning as deeper than disdain for each other just because he was a cop that saw him stealing then having to work with him. (Even tho he was stealing robin hood-esque style for the community which even more as a power ranger you would expect him to chill on that by the 3rd episode)
Also new gen shows were that have more then the 5 main and the 3 or 4 surppot rangers deal with that many rangers in such bad ways but with shows from old gen like dino charge all the rangers fit in well and created a good story that balanced and used all the rangers to make it fit in and not clutted
Power Rangers had the courage to do what LuPat did not: have the Red Ranger police officer step down from his status in order to be in a place that he felt he belonged and would have the most positive impact
What are you talking about? Keiichiro/Patren 1 stepping down makes no sense in any sort of context. He was driven by his passion for arresting criminals and protecting civilians. How does LuPat have anything to do with SPD or your point? Or are you just hating on LuPat and finding any opportunity to bring up your dislike for it?
how to tell someone didn't watch LuPat: Kei literally always felt at home being a police officer. The series DRIVES IT INTO YOUR HEAD THAT HE'S A GOOD GUY and the most fitting officer of the 3
@@darknessknows1235 He offered to quit to save Kairi because he felt he couldn’t do it as a cop, but Kairi didn’t accept it and told him to continue. On one hand that’s a touching display of love from both of them, but also I do wish the show had the guts to actually have him quit because I think it would have made for a more interesting story beat. That’s all :)
@@darrinburrell6367see, this is why Power Rangers (and fans) always good at bullshiting Sentai’s theme especially downgrading rangers theme like Dekabreak from Vice SPD as a sixth ranger to Timeranger sequel ranger as extra ranger😒
I mean isn't Keiichiro always had his being a police officer a passion for him (kinda like Sky), like I'm actually surprised many seem to like Jack stepping down on SPD now, when earlier it felt like he's reverting his development by not continuing what he started, although now some are OK with it because if fits Jack's character and example of subverting expectations.
Definitely the best episodes of the season. So odd when i was kid i didnt like spd , but when i rewatxhed it as an adult i just realised i didnt understand it. Also i always thought skys dad was wes from time force. Becuase they resuesed the costume.
I thought this was such a good episode for two reasons. The ender and what the red ranger told blue YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND YOU WANNA RUN AWAY INSTEAD OF FIXING IT? Never run from your mistakes
As a kid, I used to hate Sky because I saw him as an entitled brat who whines every now and then because he isn't the Red Ranger. After rewatching SPD when I got older, I now understand why Sky wanted the Red Ranger power so badly. His dad was a Red and of course, he wanted to be like his dad. Sky worked his a** off to become a Ranger, the way he wanted the Red Ranger position was understandable because he was probably the best officer in terms of stats, heck he can be an A-Squad if he worked harder. He hated Jack for being a "newbie" that was given more power than he had, but as the series progresses, he came to understand why Jack was the chosen leader. This was solidified in the Battlizer episode when Jack chose to lend the morpher to Sky, not out of pity, but because he knew Sky could handle the power and it was personal for Sky. Jack became a Red Ranger because he always tried saving others than himself, Sky became his successor because he finally understood what it really meant to hold such power.
Honestly, in ANY proper reality, Sky would've been chosen as the Red Ranger. His superior experience, respect for the role, and general professionalism made him the most natural choice--as opposed to Jack's untrained, rule-breaking, out-of-the-box, diamond-in-the-rough persona. We all know that Jack only got the role so that the screenwriters could milk the (admittedly great) tension between him and Sky and play out the common trope of elevating the most uncommon or unexpected individual to leadership to build drama.
'Heroes come in all colours' definitely has a deeper meaning then red and blue
in this context it’s red and blue
But in a broader sense, it applies to all aspects
@HedgeOnStage yeah of course but it adds to the dynamic, I remember seeing something about the casting of jack having a deeper meaning.

Them having powers was also unique and I always liked that. Looking back, it's so cool that they essentially had Stand abilities.
I wish we saw more of the Rangers switching colors throughout the seasons. Maybe not a frequent thing, but in special moments where it's an organic thing like with Sky, that'd be cool.
I remember this episode; it is mindblown for the kid me that having the idea of blue getting lent the power of red with backstory behind it. You know what is better, after this Jack and Sky synergy became even more solid as a team.
Spd is my favorite out of all the power rangers series and seeing the development of both jack and sky was pretty cool at first they didn't like one another but over time they both taught one another different things on being a ranger. When sky was blinded by his friend returning Jack knew something was up. Jack was always there for sky
These two episodes were the most memorable episodes in all of PR for me. I remember it even now.
Best moment of my childhood lol seeing blue turn into red, I felt that in my heart
despite reused footage and sparks on hit power rangers had it's moments of absolutely great writing
I ADORE THIS EPISODE 2 PARTER!
Forgot about this arc. Was absolute flames!!
facts!
Oh, just want to remind everyone that SPD takes place next year.
My first Power Rangers season was Dino Thunder, but SPD has my favorite duo in Jack and Sky as red and blue.
I think this two parter and the episode Meteor are the best examples of this relationship.
The line was pretty much Jack saying to Sky and be extension the audience that it's not just the red ranger that makes power rangers, it's all of them as a team working together, every one of the team has the qualities to be a leader regardless of who they are and what colour they are wearing.
I cannot believe Elijah Stone was Power Rangwr when he was young
YEAAAAAAHHHH
SPD is one of my favorite seasons
Mostly because of the fight choreo incorporating a lot of capoeira, and I tend to like cop shows.
I also dig the little nod to Hawaiian Five-oh in the theme song
Hey, great video man! Keep it up!
ppreciate ya!
"Heroes come in all colors."
Honestly I think spd is one of the greatest season definitely one on my list
For as powerful as this two-parter was, I feel it was a major misstep by the showrunners to not do original footage for the pre-Battlizer fight against Mirloc. Even as a kid, I found it incredibly confusing why this important battle for Sky... had the first part of it taken up by the nothing character that was the Omega Ranger. It wasn't until watching Dekaranger that I learned that this plotline was originally meant for DekaBreak (best 6th senshi imo) and the first fight was recycled Sentai footage. I feel it would've been more satisfying if Sky had been the one to stand alone against Mirloc, maybe even Jack throwing Sky the morpher near the start of the fight before being captured. It just feels a bit cheap that the first part of the episode is taken up by the wasted potential of the Omega Ranger...
Exactly. Genio’s fight will always belongs to Tetsu. Hell, it was a weak excuse and how tremendous that Disney butchers and downgrade Dekabreak from Vice SPD to Timeranger sequel ranger called Timebreak😒🤦♂️
Bro power rangers taught me so much growing up
I would have been great to see jack and sky have a serious 1v1 fight against each other as rangers in the form of a spiteful sparring match or something.
I also wanted to see who was really the more skilled ranger on terms of physical combat.
The writing in this show was so good
SPD was one of my favorites. Probably the last Power Ranger series I liked before moving on.
Sometimes I like to think Jack came back to SPD but with a different team. I liked him too much to see him leave suddenly 😢 but then again he earned his new lifestyle doing whatever he … did lol
what happened to him i don’t remember anything
@@Liam-ub5gj all i know is he went on to live a normal life
To be honest, even skys teeth is reflective
I watched both Timeranger and Dekaranger.... Both shows literally 'nukes' timeforce and SPD from orbit...the feels those shows have, the stakes!
Also timeforce tech is from hundreds of years ahead of SPD but they digitize the enemies in SPD and freeze the enemies in timeforce, the technology has gone backwards
Great video bro
Fun fact, this is the first battlelyser to appear in the super sentai version. Secondary fun fact the battlelyser appeared after the American version was done in crossover event of with the Mystic force version of the sentai.
I cried during the Reflection 2 parter
And this is the reason why I was pissed when only the Red Ranger showed up in the final battle in Megaforce
I've always been a bit mixed on the lesson of this two-parter. While yes, heroes do in fact come in all colors, it's dulled by the fact that until they get SWAT mode, Jack is the only one who can use the battlizer, effectively lowering the combined potential strength of team.
Note that this whole conflict only started when Sky was told only the red ranger was compatible with the battlizer technology. If all the rangers had access to it, he wouldn't care about the whole "I'm blue and you're red" thing again.
Heroes may comes in all colors, but as we see here, some colors are better than others.
I feel he wouldn’t care in the Battlizer sense, but that lingering jealousy of the red powers would still be in effect to some degree I believe
I fully see your point ~
"Sky is the best. ...he's a sexist, but he's the best!"
baby steps… lmaoo
To be fair, Sky does kinda have a point about how power upgrades are always biased towards Red which does tend to be a bit silly, especially when the others get absolutely nothing
Man great video before Black Panther and Miles Morales for me growing up it was Jack the SPD red ranger I saw myself in as a hero that’s why he’ll always be my number one favorite Red ranger.
I always get confused as to why they used the red TF suit in this arc.
It was pretty much just one of the costumes they had lying around
cost effective.
Greg Aronowitz has said before Disney was cutting back on the budget for Power Rangers, and we know that to be the case for the shows that succeeded SPD as well. Same reason In Space suits were repurposed for the A-Squad team, and even Boom’s Orange Ranger
It makes sense if S.P.D turned into Timeforce by the year 3000
Because Disney is broke and to lazy to make original suits hence why A squad where’s the same helmet as in space but the black one is colored
He said it talking about colours of the team but also meant skin colour.
I get people can get scared to know a kids show was trying something but obviously it was made to be that way especially with the two characters that were used in the scene. (which disney was known for doing alot)
It makes me interested in the tension of their leader-subordinate dynamic in the beginning as deeper than disdain for each other just because he was a cop that saw him stealing then having to work with him. (Even tho he was stealing robin hood-esque style for the community which even more as a power ranger you would expect him to chill on that by the 3rd episode)
Yeah for a second I thought he was related to the Time Force Red Ranger when I was younger. I guess it was because of the uniform
Bro I just realized. Time force is the past SPD
it's true hero's come in all colors the problem is some people in this fandom don't realize that, and that pisses me off
Also new gen shows were that have more then the 5 main and the 3 or 4 surppot rangers deal with that many rangers in such bad ways but with shows from old gen like dino charge all the rangers fit in well and created a good story that balanced and used all the rangers to make it fit in and not clutted
I wish they would've made Boomie the Green Ranger at the end of the series. Would've been such a payoff to see him live out his dreams.
For me Power Rangers SPD is team after In Space😊😊i really really love this both team❤
Power Rangers had the courage to do what LuPat did not: have the Red Ranger police officer step down from his status in order to be in a place that he felt he belonged and would have the most positive impact
What are you talking about? Keiichiro/Patren 1 stepping down makes no sense in any sort of context. He was driven by his passion for arresting criminals and protecting civilians. How does LuPat have anything to do with SPD or your point? Or are you just hating on LuPat and finding any opportunity to bring up your dislike for it?
how to tell someone didn't watch LuPat:
Kei literally always felt at home being a police officer. The series DRIVES IT INTO YOUR HEAD THAT HE'S A GOOD GUY and the most fitting officer of the 3
@@darknessknows1235 He offered to quit to save Kairi because he felt he couldn’t do it as a cop, but Kairi didn’t accept it and told him to continue. On one hand that’s a touching display of love from both of them, but also I do wish the show had the guts to actually have him quit because I think it would have made for a more interesting story beat. That’s all :)
@@darrinburrell6367see, this is why Power Rangers (and fans) always good at bullshiting Sentai’s theme especially downgrading rangers theme like Dekabreak from Vice SPD as a sixth ranger to Timeranger sequel ranger as extra ranger😒
I mean isn't Keiichiro always had his being a police officer a passion for him (kinda like Sky), like I'm actually surprised many seem to like Jack stepping down on SPD now, when earlier it felt like he's reverting his development by not continuing what he started, although now some are OK with it because if fits Jack's character and example of subverting expectations.
Definitely the best episodes of the season. So odd when i was kid i didnt like spd , but when i rewatxhed it as an adult i just realised i didnt understand it.
Also i always thought skys dad was wes from time force. Becuase they resuesed the costume.
i was really hoping sky was wes's son, the curse of reusing props I guess
Oh hai Keeper 👀
I just noticed that the helmet of skyes dads helmet looks like time force helmet (sorry if i spelled his name wrong i didnt watch spd yet)
I thought this was such a good episode for two reasons.
The ender and what the red ranger told blue
YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND YOU WANNA RUN AWAY INSTEAD OF FIXING IT?
Never run from your mistakes
Disney era of PR is undeniably the best than neo saban!
Sky's father is Red Time Force Ranger
honestly still find it odd they used a time force outfit for an SPD ranger
I've realized. Jack and Sky are basically Cyclops and Wolverine. Sky is a better Cyclops than both iterations in the franchise.
Best Power ranger and best episode
As a kid, I used to hate Sky because I saw him as an entitled brat who whines every now and then because he isn't the Red Ranger. After rewatching SPD when I got older, I now understand why Sky wanted the Red Ranger power so badly. His dad was a Red and of course, he wanted to be like his dad. Sky worked his a** off to become a Ranger, the way he wanted the Red Ranger position was understandable because he was probably the best officer in terms of stats, heck he can be an A-Squad if he worked harder. He hated Jack for being a "newbie" that was given more power than he had, but as the series progresses, he came to understand why Jack was the chosen leader. This was solidified in the Battlizer episode when Jack chose to lend the morpher to Sky, not out of pity, but because he knew Sky could handle the power and it was personal for Sky. Jack became a Red Ranger because he always tried saving others than himself, Sky became his successor because he finally understood what it really meant to hold such power.
Honestly, in ANY proper reality, Sky would've been chosen as the Red Ranger. His superior experience, respect for the role, and general professionalism made him the most natural choice--as opposed to Jack's untrained, rule-breaking, out-of-the-box, diamond-in-the-rough persona. We all know that Jack only got the role so that the screenwriters could milk the (admittedly great) tension between him and Sky and play out the common trope of elevating the most uncommon or unexpected individual to leadership to build drama.
Blue has always been the smart/serious ranger (barring Wild Force)
This era off power rangers has a far better story and character then the new gen the new gen rangers shows are so mind noming
Hope you'll have a good day
I fucking love this show.
