The moment you realize this season was one year short of the worst tragedy in American history up to that point. A tragedy where this team was desperately needed.
As a kid I felt meh about lightspeed but as an adult I really see its merit. Actually getting a group of skilled and trained adults who had no reservations about throwing themselves into danger whether as a job or for sport just makes sense. Plus Carter is just my favorite red ranger. He was always beyond savage. Sure he could fight, but he was putting folks down with the guns and blasters.
Wile i think SPD does the hole rangers as a organizetion bether, ligthspeed have its marith of being the moast stragth up heroic season, its not one my favorites (i realy realy realy REALY hate the suits desings) but i admit that IS one of the bether seasons of its hera.
@@JarvisBaileyVA To be honest spd is basicaly ligthspeed 2.0, there some diferences in themes. I realy woud like see a croshover between the teams in the comics ( the timeline in the comics sems more compact, due stuff from soul of the dragon, so a crosshover bethen the team agist a lager treath could be a verry awesome saga)
Lightspeed's original Japanese version is better, the sentai are all siblings, 4 brothers and one sister, and unlike the blue green and yellow in the Americanized version who were absolute nobodies with nothing special about them, in the original, GoBlue was a firefighter like his older brother GoRed, GoGreen is a rescue helicopter pilot, and GoYellow is a police officer.
@@PrinceTrunks26 Well that certainly sounds like something I'd like to check out. I was just speaking from the perspective of a guy who grew up solely on the American televised versions.
LOL, the fact that Joel had a formal Cowboy had had me losing it! And yet, I think he's also a lot more interesting as a character than some may give him credit for! Details to come in part 2 :)
@@Ninjajp247 not entirely true,the power morphers in light speed does increase there strength,stamina,ext just like past rangers. As a matter of fact in terms of power,light speed is equal to that of might morphine.
I actually really liked the PSAs this season did because the characters match with what they are talking about: Carter, a firefighter, talking fire safety; Kelsey, an athlete, talking about bike safety; Dana, a paramedic, talking about ... well safety in general, etc.
Personally I think that Nadira from Time Force was far worse than Vypra. Nadira is so annoying that gets into my nerves. At least it made sense for Vypra to be emotionless, she's demon and I think that demons are supposed to be emotionless.
I agree that Mitchell NOT telling his team what their errors in judgement were was like wtf...even as a kid, I knew that it was a bit off putting. Not because he is a figure of authority telling Rangers what to do, but it's what they didn't do that he fails to tell them. I get figuring things out on their own is something that applies to people of ANY age, but even as a kid in school the teachers would tell you where you made mistakes so you can try NOT to repeat them. Geez...but yeah can't wait for Part II!!!
Lightspeed was a well organized season. I remember being taken back a little watching operation lightspeed and how they morphed in front of everyone going against the grain a little on the traditional "it's for us to know and them to find out." I also liked that instead of using a typical cliche spell on Ryan they preyed on the power of human emotion to control him, you think maybe the reason they didn't elaborate on his story a little more is because it was so much more of the show that needed to be addressed?
That's a possibility, but there was also two Mermaid episodes that end up being glorified filler. And then there was that random Dana as a model episode, lol. So I feel like, given its 40 episode run, Lightspeed could have done a bit more of the character level, for all involved.
@@TheDisneyBrain Ikr. I think they should have removed those 3 filler episodes and just replace them with 3 other episodes that ACTUALLY flesh out the characters (especially Ryan.)
Ngl, I blocked that crossover out of my memory successfully for years and you just reminded me of that travesty. But apart from that, I absolutely love Lightspeed Rescue
Regarding my points on “Operation Lightspeed,” I don’t feel like I was clear enough. To put my perspective more plainly, I liked why the episode felt organized, but wasn’t as keen on how it was presented in sort of an isolated sense, if that helps :)
Carter is the best leader in history imo he's inspiring and he never backs down to a challenge and he will sacrifice himself to save his friends unlike a lot red rangers besides Jason and leo
I agree with your sentiment on the opening episode. Yes its solid but I feel like they made it way too straight forward. But all in all great review like always
With regards to tokusatsu, I happen to be a huge fan of the style and I am willing to help and research on a couple of them. One being a huge favorite of mine and the other is not well known to many other than through the anime version. The first is Gridman (aka Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad) and the other is more on the dark fantasy and more mature end known as Garo. Some people might know what I am talking about at least. I'm working on episode reviews for the anime version of Gridman and also on how I got into the tokusatsu genre. (I use WordPress by the way). Anyway, I really enjoy your detailed and informative insight on each Power Rangers season. Keep it up
I'm a fan of seasons where the rangers are part of an organisation e.g. Time Force, S.P.D. so I really like Lightspeed Rescue. I think it's one of the most in underrated seasons and Carter is my favourite Red Ranger.
There's no way i CAN'T put this season on my favorites list, this season is truly what Heroes are all about faults and all, although a good bit of those faults involve Vypra. This season nailed the point home that anyone can be a hero, even the villians. Diabalico being the primary example. This team has truly earned their hero strips here, although i have a love/hate relationship with Trakina's Revenge. Is it a good team up episode HELL NO, but it's not a terrible team up episode.
I love it. You put this out right as I was starting to watch Lightspeed Rescue on Netflix. So far, I'm enjoying it, and largely enjoying it a lot more than I did when I was a child. Haven't gotten to the team up episode yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing my opinions of it and how they compare to yours. Can't wait for part 2. *a message from one outside of the simulation*
Okay there’s an explanation on why Mitchell didn’t tell the team the Disc was because of the GoGoV plot which doesn’t work here because Mitchell counterpart is the father of the entire team who left for 10 years to bring them to fight the demon threat. So for a while there’s slight trust issues every now and then
I’ve been waiting for this a long time. Personally lightspeed rescue is my absolute favorite PR show, since it was actually the first season I watched as a kid and therefore it’s very nostalgic.
I remember this season. I never thought much about it, but I do remember really liking the plot and some story twists I won't spoil, but overall, it was solid. Glad it's getting some love!
I think the Space Rangers had a hand in Lightspeed's formation. The Lightspeed Zords are based on human vehicles just like the Turbo Zords and "Power of Pink" has the Space Rangers going back to Earth supposedly for a mission. It's possible they heard of the demons and wanted to give Earth another chance.
My theory is that after the Space finale, the Space Rangers made sure Earth could defend itself from future threats in case they aren't around so they assisted in the creation of Lightspeed by providing intel on morpher and Zord technology.
16:06 To quote Linkara... "You live in a city that is contstantly under attack by monsters and the Power Rangers are known public figures without secret identities! Not to mention the fact that the Earth was invaded and almost conquered a few years ago by monsters. Lady, I officially declare you: DUMBEST PERSON IN POWER RANGERS EVER!"
Yeah, at this point in the series, monsters and the threat they impose as well as power rangers and their goal is pretty much public knowledge at this point. Not believing this Is the equivalent to being atheist in a DND fantasy world, it's either physically impossible to not believe it or your just an arrogant and dishonest moron. Using this as a plot point makes no sense from a worldbuilding standpoint. At this point, monsters are more like terrorists than supernatural oddities! Lady, the building you work in as probably been thorn in half by a gigantic creature 3 times just last month, where we're you all this time?!
This is possibly the most well written review I've ever seen for anything Power Rangers. I like this reviewer, he definitely tries to make sure to cover details that most reviews tend to just overlook.
@@PrinceTrunks26 PrinceTrunks26 how about you go to Japan and stop shoving that Japanese superiority crap down our throats. All you guys complain about how crappy American versions are, seems like you have a problem with everything non Japanese! I am getting sick and tired of hearing this crap.
Awesome sauce! Now I'm trying to think of what seasons you haven't done. But as always, great job man. I always look forward to your Power Ranger videos.
I remember Carter being my favorite power ranger until I found out about Jason. Carter was a hero before he was a power ranger which was what drew me to it I suppose. I remember watching first episode over and over and over. my VCR was begging me to watch something else lol. Nostaliga man. thanks for this.
I watched a little Lightspeed Rescue as a kid when it was on TV (some of the Titanium Ranger's cobra tattoo arc iirc), and I'm starting to get back into it as an adult by watching videos like yours and hoping to watch the Complete Series on DVD when I can. From what little I know of the show at the moment, and looking into the cultural inspirations for certain elements, here are some of my first impressions: The enemies are wish-granting devils The heroes are demonslayers The leader in red is a Savior who basically defeats the Devil The mentor is a father figure to the team and the actual father of one of them (ultimately two) The Big Bad is a Demon Ruler who's basically the Devil The Big Bad is locked away by something from Japanese culture, keeping them out of action until the end The enemies and their story are a fairly generic demon invasion, but with subtle undertones of Japanese religion and culture beyond what's present throughout the entire franchise just from being based on Super Sentai, a show made in Japan by Japanese people *Why does this all seem so familiar?*
Going to wait for part 2 to watch them back to back and cant wait as lightspeed rescue is one of my favourites with one of my favourite rangers of all time "Carter BADMAN 🔴 Grayson"
18:00 Now that you mention it, the Galaxy rangers from Earth never seemed like they missed Earth all that much in their season. So Trakeena's Revenge is at least consistent in that regard.
Maya did miss her homeworld Mirinoi in the Lost Galaxy season as far as I remember. But for the Earth Galaxy Rangers, it wouldn't make much sense to be homesick in their season since they lived in Terra Venture but not feeling anything about returning to Earth in the teamup after a year in outer space is bizarre at best.
The closest thing we got to Lost Galaxy was a kid who missed Earth,and they had to drop him off back at Earth after he saved Terra Venture. Plus,the Damon in the episode said "Maybe I'll just stay here for a little vacation." So... 🤷🏼♂️
Very true. And since there was a little bit done with Maya missing home, more could have been done with the others having similar feelings. Especially since Leo and Damon left very abruptly and couldn't tell any of their loved ones that they are not many moons away, lol.
Yes! Finally😁 Lightspeed is on my top 5 favorites power rangers. I love your explanations and agree on almost everything. You are awesome and I'm patiently waiting for the next part.❤
I always really liked the first aid/fire fighter rescuer theme of this series. There's a lot of shows that try to do stuff like that, like Rescue Heroes, and a lot of time it's just kind of boring. Like most kids would just be like "Dafuq is dis shit? I want Batman". But something about this show really worked for me. I think the cool-ass underwater headquarters helped a lot. I guess it just felt more tangible? Like, the Rangers in this show weren't chosen by some kind of ancient, magical being and instilled with abstract powers. They were just everyday heroes who were really good at their jobs, and were chosen to be part of an elite team. And the show has a lot more focus on the Rangers just helping civilians in more realistic situations. And then you still get to see them fight big monster anime villains, so it's a win-win. I dunno, it just clicked with me as a kid more than some of the other series.
I didn't like Lightspeed Rescue when i first watched it years ago. I keep seeing how somewhat similar they look to the lost galaxy team for the actors. And i just wasnt a fan of the villains. Putting that aside, i think Lightspeed Rescue is quite grounded since they make use of every day heroes and then turning them into Power Rangers and it's a concept done well. If they were to tweak their villains and maybe their story a bit more, i would have liked it back then. Might have to give this another watch.
I'm surprised out of all things to complain about in the team-up, no mention was made of the lazy recycling the Sentai morphing sequence that looks like a 144p UA-cam video compared to the ACTUAL Gingaman sequence. Instead of...y'know, dropping the video file of the Lost Galaxy morph into the time bar like I assume it's always done. Granted, it's the least of its problems, but I like little details like that.
@Flamelord325 mate, all of the seasons have sentai footage on them, the issue here is how are they used. the Gingaman morphing sequence just wasn't necessary, they should've used the more HD Lost Galaxy one.
The only thing I liked from the Galaxy Rangers morph in Trakeena's Revenge is the bit where they turned the dial to their colors. That bit is just satisfying. Idk why
Lol, to be fair, I thought the things I did end up complaining about were a bit more jarring. I wasn't as put off the the strange Morphing Sequence because I at least understood what they were going for with an admittedly half hearted Sentai shout out. It's just a murky icky seas of bad all around. I'd sooner have not dragged the Galaxy Rangers back for something like this, tbh.
Dam didnt go as I expected at all lol. Hopefully part 2 will bless us with more facts about how this season is unique on its own. Cuz lets be honest from the fight scenes, the wonderful, realistic and well executed megazord battles and transformations and the danger level lightspeed faced cannot compare to majority of the power rangers seasons!
My favorite season along with In Space. Unlike Lost Galaxy, it feels to me like a natural sequel of In Space. After the alien invasion, the Lightspeed organisation was found to defend the Earth by future threats by creating its own team of Power Rangers. For the first time the villains were not aliens, but rather demons. This season gave us Carter Grayson, the most badass Red Ranger since Jason and it also had equally badass Zords. I loved that the Titanium Ranger's story is basically a kid-friendly deal with the devil story, as I freakin' loved the Titanium Ranger himself.
Well think of it the last good one was in rpm, saumrai wass a total sue, megaforce was a wood block, dino charge wass realy not a leader since it wass like spd or ninja storm were the focus on the red ranger were smaler than the standar, and ninja steel is a joke.
16:02 Someone needs to write a story where that woman gets called out. Not just for denying frequent monster attacks and brushing off a little girl whose parents were supposedly kidnapped by monsters, but also for not checking to be sure said monsters weren’t _in that very building._
9:59,imo this episode REALLY took itself seriously quite well and I've seen clips of the original episode from GoGoV but this was a lot better imo. Yeah,I still don't buy it in that the thief in GoGoV didn't need to go to jail. A thief is still a thief. You still need to pay due for your crimes. I can chalk it up to the GoGoV being naive as well as Matsuri. Not everything can be wiped away with just a single flick. That's pretty much the harshness of life itself. 14:43,awwwww. :( Dana,dear.
I love Lightspeed Rescue in my opinion Carter and Dana are two of the best red and pink rangers respectively. I really enjoy the first responder concept and find it a shame they've never gone back to it. Also the military organization of it has me wishing they would do a proper spec-ops ranger team akin to the navy seals or army rangers.
@16:46-16:50 The reason why Damon and Kendrix weren't even in part one of "Trakeena's Revenge", is because they are following what the sentai crossover movie, "Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V vs. Gingaman" did with introducing their respective sentai green and pink from Gingaman so very late in tge movie. Yeah, Ginga Green/Hayate and Ginga Pink/Saya were introduced so very late in the movie after Blue and Yellow and Bull Black/Hyuuga (Mike Corbett's sentai counterpart) were introduced early on in the movie. And since Mike Corbett, the Magna Defender (II) wasn't around to show up for the team-up, because story-wise...Mike sacrificed his powers and the Toro Zord at the end of the Lost Galaxy arc, they had to cut out Hyuuga's scene in the movie.
Is it me, or does the fire demon from the first episode look like Psycho Red's real form? Maybe it was intentional? So great to see this video come around
@@jaimemartinez3336 yeah they reuse alot of villain suits like the ones from the machine empire: most of the generals are restocks from the hero suits called the beetleborgs..
@@jebVlogs556 they used Deviot's "Keonta spell" upgraded suit for the Wild Force-Time Force team up, and i remember seeing that suit in an episode from SPD, but i don't remember which episode....
This is hands down my favorite Power Rangers season of all time. As a kid this shit was so inspiring to me. I just came from watching the intro theme and was smiling like an idiot the whole time cause I hadn't seen it since I was in elementary. And now watching this video is awesome. This is what the internet is great for haha
I actually always found Diabolico interesting, maybe I invented the nuance in my head but the idea of a villian who rescues children and raises them to be evil made him seem both more honorable and dangerous then some others.
Can you please do a video focused on Jen Scott the pink timeforce ranger? In my opinion she is the best ranger in the entire franchise, maybe only 2nd to tommy. In my eyes she was the true leader of the timeforce rangers, making her the only female lead. Plus instead of being a goody two shoes, super kind hearted, square ass leader like most other series, she's a total badass!
In both versions, TimePink/Time Force pink ranger were indeed presented as the leader of their respective teams. The series gave her great agency and authority, while still not forgetting the red ranger as the main character and emotional center of the story.
Your point about the receptionist not knowing about monsters if she's from another country and moved over and only just got the job that would explain how she didn't know
Lightspeed rescue was a good season however it was too rushed and condensed in its storyline. Titanium ranger should've had more screen time. I wish Ryan & Carter went on the mission together to capture them demons. Carter & Ryan could've been a dynamic duo like Andros and Zhane. Lightspeed rescue was too condensed
My only question is are you gonna release a new Power Rangers story ever? I loved your Chronic Storm story. I'm currently working on an original ranger story solely centered around Atlantis.
Thank you for the love!! I have several new PR stories to eventually release! I just need to heavily edit them before they hit Wattpad. A lot of them haven't even been looked at in over a year and a year ago I was a considerably worse writer, lol...
I just noticed... LSR's start and premise is surprisingly similar to samurai. Like, we see all of the rangers in their everyday life at first, being then torn from it to finally serve their ranger duty. ( like, both Chad and Kevin are seen being interrupted from some swimming Competition or something. ) Dana fills in the role for Jayden here, where she has a close relationship to the mentor figure *and* the sixth Ranger...
I think they could have done a bit more with Captain Mitchell being the one who saved Carter's life. In Trial by Fire, they could have had Carter tell the story to the other rangers, and in particular, have him say something like "I think it might have been Captain Mitchell but I'm not sure." This would shock everyone, most of all Dana, since her father apparently never told her about it. Then, in A matter of Trust, Dana, doing her best Luke Skywalker impression, could ask Captain Mitchell "Why didn't you tell me?" instead of complaining that he only sees her as his little girl, at which point Mitchell would tell her the truth, both about Carter, and her next assignment.
I know this is a small note but one notable episode of Lightspeed Rescue that stuck with me was a Kelsey focused one where she befriends an astronaut and I was almost convinced she was gonna come back as a recurring character/love interest for Kelsey. Something about their chemistry always made me feel like there was something deeper there that I thought Kelsey was going to be the first openly gay power ranger without lording over it too much
I think this would make a good HBO adaptation. Just hear me out. DHS, DOD, DOJ, CIA, NSA, some other alphabet soup agency gets a new black budget and uses it to tap into some mystical force (laugh as you will) and uses it to create super soldiers. Maybe bring in ex CAG, DEVGRU, 24 STS, Special Forces and issue them the morphers. Make it a really dark series that touches on sensitive subjects while our heroes throw down with superpowered extraterrestrial beings. Ta-da. Also I don't think a local city firefighter would get funding to build a TSC SCI level underwater base. Now if he was an employee of DARPA or DOD then I could go along with the story.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! I have patiently waited for PRLSR and your review was SPOT ON!!! Yes the season had its flaws but it stayed true to what it was trying to do. I loved the season as a kid because I understood the every day heroes and military theme, I could connect with the characters and I understood the struggles. Yes I will admit, the team up episode was BAD!!!! As a kid I didn't mind it too much, but now the only thing I can watch without feeling embarrassed is the team up fight scene with all 10 rangers. An off topic point I want to make: I really enjoy when the girls team up to fight the main monster and the boys taken on the foot soldiers (in any season of power rangers) they did that a lot in Wild Force and they do it from time to time here. It's just an observation and something I liked. Once again I love your power ranger reviews and look forward to them anytime there is something new.
16:21 It should be worth noticn that the woman in that scene actually told the little girl that there's no such thing as monsters. Ok like WHAT!?!?!?! Then what do you call the creatures that have been appearing in the city as of late? Check out Linkaras reaction to that part because he said it better then I could've.
I feel like LR Villains are a little bit underrated. I don't feel like they were incompetent, it was more the LR PR was more competent. The demons in General tried a variety of different tactics in alot of the episodes and usually when they used a new tactic, they would put the rangers on the robes until Ms. Fairweather puts out the desu ex machina of the episode. They tried various different demons, they would counter the previous episodes desu ex machina equipment and zords, and had their own contingency plans (like having the snake curse on the titanium ranger). If you compare them to say Zedd or Rita in the first two seasons, the Rangers alot of times would have to either figured out the monsters weakness or just beat the monsters with the same finisher after the monster beats them for a bit. In lightspeed rescue, most of the episodes is the demons are about to win, then here comes new weapons and zords. If say the demon clan fought the MMPR, the Demons would have beaten MMPR sooner than Zedd or Rita because I feel they would have adjusted tactics faster than Rita or Zedd did. Just my thoughts.
This is my very first Power Ranger team in my childhood. It wasn’t until my adulthood I learned they were not the original Power Rangers. Even then, they did not lose their place in my heart of hearts. That said, this is probably the most grounded Power Rangers team I’ve ever seen. Most Power Rangers are either very mystical or very futuristic. But this one is the most grounded Power Rangers team which is something I really like.
i feel like this season missed out on a huge story opportunity for it to be shown that before he changed that diablico and ryan had a almost father son type of relationship with it being shown diabolico originally got ryan just to use but eventually started growing closer to ryan
The Disney Brain Operation Lightspeed was amazing, the super demons, Diabolico revolting, Curse of the Cobra, Carter, the amazing works kept coming. If the crossover eps and focus eps were better, it would've been the best season of the 2000s in my opinion PS The Titanium ranger is my fav ranger of all time. Can't wait for part 2 🔥

That's a possibility, but there was also two Mermaid episodes that end up being glorified filler. And then there was that random Dana as a model episode, lol. So I feel like, given its 40 episode run, Lightspeed could have done a bit more of the character level, for all involved.
@@TheDisneyBrain Ikr. I think they should have removed those 3 filler episodes and just replace them with 3 other episodes that ACTUALLY flesh out the characters (especially Ryan.)
I remember watching this as a kid, and Joel was my favorite. The humor actually landed. Havent had that happen once in Neo Saban.

@@JustHayden61400 Better make it Lightspeed Rescue!
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue!
LIGHT.... SPEED.... GO!!!
Ngl, I blocked that crossover out of my memory successfully for years and you just reminded me of that travesty. But apart from that, I absolutely love Lightspeed Rescue
Regarding my points on “Operation Lightspeed,” I don’t feel like I was clear enough. To put my perspective more plainly, I liked why the episode felt organized, but wasn’t as keen on how it was presented in sort of an isolated sense, if that helps :)
Carter is the best leader in history imo he's inspiring and he never backs down to a challenge and he will sacrifice himself to save his friends unlike a lot red rangers besides Jason and leo
I agree with your sentiment on the opening episode. Yes its solid but I feel like they made it way too straight forward. But all in all great review like always
With regards to tokusatsu, I happen to be a huge fan of the style and I am willing to help and research on a couple of them. One being a huge favorite of mine and the other is not well known to many other than through the anime version. The first is Gridman (aka Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad) and the other is more on the dark fantasy and more mature end known as Garo. Some people might know what I am talking about at least. I'm working on episode reviews for the anime version of Gridman and also on how I got into the tokusatsu genre. (I use WordPress by the way). Anyway, I really enjoy your detailed and informative insight on each Power Rangers season. Keep it up
@@averagetalks4701 Actually all Red Rangers will, it's just their team won't allow them to.
Am i bothering you with suggestions ?
I'm a fan of seasons where the rangers are part of an organisation e.g. Time Force, S.P.D. so I really like Lightspeed Rescue. I think it's one of the most in underrated seasons and Carter is my favourite Red Ranger.
Yesssss, you talked about RPM and Lightspeed so close together. I can't wait to see the rest :)
Marcosatsu That leaves Dino Charge and everything before In Space.
We have different ideas of close together
10 mouths man...
Omg Marcosatsu! Awesome
Fun fact: The Mermaid in Lightspeed is played by Psycho Yellow's actress.
You don't need power, or tech, to be a hero. You just need spirit and determination.
I love this season, I had the biggest crush on Ms. Fairweather
I bet Doomguy loves Lightspeed Rescue, seeing as they wreck demons in it.
Also GoGoV because the rangers also wreck demons in it
There's no way i CAN'T put this season on my favorites list, this season is truly what Heroes are all about faults and all, although a good bit of those faults involve Vypra. This season nailed the point home that anyone can be a hero, even the villians. Diabalico being the primary example. This team has truly earned their hero strips here, although i have a love/hate relationship with Trakina's Revenge. Is it a good team up episode HELL NO, but it's not a terrible team up episode.
Wile i cant say its my favorites, i can say it one of the bether ones.
I love it. You put this out right as I was starting to watch Lightspeed Rescue on Netflix. So far, I'm enjoying it, and largely enjoying it a lot more than I did when I was a child.
Haven't gotten to the team up episode yet, so I'm looking forward to seeing my opinions of it and how they compare to yours. Can't wait for part 2.
*a message from one outside of the simulation*
Okay there’s an explanation on why Mitchell didn’t tell the team the Disc was because of the GoGoV plot which doesn’t work here because Mitchell counterpart is the father of the entire team who left for 10 years to bring them to fight the demon threat. So for a while there’s slight trust issues every now and then
Not really parent of the year, and nepotism is a real problem in the tokusatsu world
I’ve been waiting for this a long time. Personally lightspeed rescue is my absolute favorite PR show, since it was actually the first season I watched as a kid and therefore it’s very nostalgic.
Loved your beatdown of "Trakeena's Revenge". That was an absolute train wreck of a team-up.
I remember this season. I never thought much about it, but I do remember really liking the plot and some story twists I won't spoil, but overall, it was solid. Glad it's getting some love!
I think the Space Rangers had a hand in Lightspeed's formation. The Lightspeed Zords are based on human vehicles just like the Turbo Zords and "Power of Pink" has the Space Rangers going back to Earth supposedly for a mission. It's possible they heard of the demons and wanted to give Earth another chance.
My theory is that after the Space finale, the Space Rangers made sure Earth could defend itself from future threats in case they aren't around so they assisted in the creation of Lightspeed by providing intel on morpher and Zord technology.
16:06 To quote Linkara...
"You live in a city that is contstantly under attack by monsters and the Power Rangers are known public figures without secret identities! Not to mention the fact that the Earth was invaded and almost conquered a few years ago by monsters. Lady, I officially declare you: DUMBEST PERSON IN POWER RANGERS EVER!"
Yeah, at this point in the series, monsters and the threat they impose as well as power rangers and their goal is pretty much public knowledge at this point. Not believing this Is the equivalent to being atheist in a DND fantasy world, it's either physically impossible to not believe it or your just an arrogant and dishonest moron. Using this as a plot point makes no sense from a worldbuilding standpoint. At this point, monsters are more like terrorists than supernatural oddities! Lady, the building you work in as probably been thorn in half by a gigantic creature 3 times just last month, where we're you all this time?!
This is possibly the most well written review I've ever seen for anything Power Rangers. I like this reviewer, he definitely tries to make sure to cover details that most reviews tend to just overlook.
As for the demons I think Diabalico and Olympious are well developed villains.
Those two are my favorite villains in PR. Loved Olympious' voice
How about you both buy the original Japanese version set from Shout Factory, Kyuukyuu sentai GoGoV, the stories are better
@@PrinceTrunks26 PrinceTrunks26 how about you go to Japan and stop shoving that Japanese superiority crap down our throats. All you guys complain about how crappy American versions are, seems like you have a problem with everything non Japanese! I am getting sick and tired of hearing this crap.
Naim Byrd the super demons saga was amazing, them fighting over the star power eps were okay too
Agreed with ya
Awesome sauce! Now I'm trying to think of what seasons you haven't done. But as always, great job man. I always look forward to your Power Ranger videos.
He promised to cover the Alien Rangers saga, aka, the last third of MMPR season 3. And imo, it is actually the best part of the entire MMPR saga.
I remember Carter being my favorite power ranger until I found out about Jason.
Carter was a hero before he was a power ranger which was what drew me to it I suppose. I remember watching first episode over and over and over. my VCR was begging me to watch something else lol. Nostaliga man. thanks for this.
I watched a little Lightspeed Rescue as a kid when it was on TV (some of the Titanium Ranger's cobra tattoo arc iirc), and I'm starting to get back into it as an adult by watching videos like yours and hoping to watch the Complete Series on DVD when I can.
From what little I know of the show at the moment, and looking into the cultural inspirations for certain elements, here are some of my first impressions:
The enemies are wish-granting devils
The heroes are demonslayers
The leader in red is a Savior who basically defeats the Devil
The mentor is a father figure to the team and the actual father of one of them (ultimately two)
The Big Bad is a Demon Ruler who's basically the Devil
The Big Bad is locked away by something from Japanese culture, keeping them out of action until the end
The enemies and their story are a fairly generic demon invasion, but with subtle undertones of Japanese religion and culture beyond what's present throughout the entire franchise just from being based on Super Sentai, a show made in Japan by Japanese people
*Why does this all seem so familiar?*
Demon Slayer.
I literally just finished my binge of Lightspeed Rescue in time for this
One of my favorite fights from this season is the Demonite fight. That had me on the edge of my seat as a kid. :D
Going to wait for part 2 to watch them back to back and cant wait as lightspeed rescue is one of my favourites with one of my favourite rangers of all time "Carter BADMAN 🔴 Grayson"
I'M HERE READY TO WATCH BOTH NOW 👌🏾
Oh wow didn't know this video came out. Also thanks for the shout out! I hoping to get some new art to you soon. :D
18:00 Now that you mention it, the Galaxy rangers from Earth never seemed like they missed Earth all that much in their season. So Trakeena's Revenge is at least consistent in that regard.
Even with that piece of information, this episode is garbage.
@@jonaszprzybycien6545 That I won't deny.
Maya did miss her homeworld Mirinoi in the Lost Galaxy season as far as I remember. But for the Earth Galaxy Rangers, it wouldn't make much sense to be homesick in their season since they lived in Terra Venture but not feeling anything about returning to Earth in the teamup after a year in outer space is bizarre at best.
The closest thing we got to Lost Galaxy was a kid who missed Earth,and they had to drop him off back at Earth after he saved Terra Venture. Plus,the Damon in the episode said "Maybe I'll just stay here for a little vacation." So... 🤷🏼♂️
Very true. And since there was a little bit done with Maya missing home, more could have been done with the others having similar feelings. Especially since Leo and Damon left very abruptly and couldn't tell any of their loved ones that they are not many moons away, lol.
Currently watching this season! It’s so good so far!
Yes! Finally😁 Lightspeed is on my top 5 favorites power rangers. I love your explanations and agree on almost everything. You are awesome and I'm patiently waiting for the next part.❤
Man this season is so underrated it's sad. But the team-up episode was even worse than Time Force one.
I always really liked the first aid/fire fighter rescuer theme of this series. There's a lot of shows that try to do stuff like that, like Rescue Heroes, and a lot of time it's just kind of boring. Like most kids would just be like "Dafuq is dis shit? I want Batman". But something about this show really worked for me. I think the cool-ass underwater headquarters helped a lot.
I guess it just felt more tangible? Like, the Rangers in this show weren't chosen by some kind of ancient, magical being and instilled with abstract powers. They were just everyday heroes who were really good at their jobs, and were chosen to be part of an elite team. And the show has a lot more focus on the Rangers just helping civilians in more realistic situations. And then you still get to see them fight big monster anime villains, so it's a win-win. I dunno, it just clicked with me as a kid more than some of the other series.
I didn't like Lightspeed Rescue when i first watched it years ago. I keep seeing how somewhat similar they look to the lost galaxy team for the actors. And i just wasnt a fan of the villains. Putting that aside, i think Lightspeed Rescue is quite grounded since they make use of every day heroes and then turning them into Power Rangers and it's a concept done well. If they were to tweak their villains and maybe their story a bit more, i would have liked it back then. Might have to give this another watch.
funny because their zords also fill similar roles/have similar sizes in the combination, except yellow and pink became legs instead of arms in LR
Vypra had bad timing in addition to bad acting- came right after Astronema/Trakeena and before Ransik.
Love this season so much!
Finally your opinion on Lightspeed Rescue
I'm surprised out of all things to complain about in the team-up, no mention was made of the lazy recycling the Sentai morphing sequence that looks like a 144p UA-cam video compared to the ACTUAL Gingaman sequence.
Instead of...y'know, dropping the video file of the Lost Galaxy morph into the time bar like I assume it's always done.
Granted, it's the least of its problems, but I like little details like that.
@Flamelord325 mate, all of the seasons have sentai footage on them, the issue here is how are they used.
the Gingaman morphing sequence just wasn't necessary, they should've used the more HD Lost Galaxy one.
Yeah, its so noticeable that they used the wrong morphing sequence too It really does show just how little the staff seemed to care about it.
The only thing I liked from the Galaxy Rangers morph in Trakeena's Revenge is the bit where they turned the dial to their colors. That bit is just satisfying. Idk why
Lol, to be fair, I thought the things I did end up complaining about were a bit more jarring. I wasn't as put off the the strange Morphing Sequence because I at least understood what they were going for with an admittedly half hearted Sentai shout out. It's just a murky icky seas of bad all around. I'd sooner have not dragged the Galaxy Rangers back for something like this, tbh.
Good video ,but as someone who was introduced into the series because of “Trakeena’s Revenge”... ouch, I gotta go lay down.
Carter Grayson was badass. He's in my top 10 Red Rangers.
This season had good story telling, something Neo saban era missing
Dam didnt go as I expected at all lol. Hopefully part 2 will bless us with more facts about how this season is unique on its own. Cuz lets be honest from the fight scenes, the wonderful, realistic and well executed megazord battles and transformations and the danger level lightspeed faced cannot compare to majority of the power rangers seasons!
My favorite season along with In Space. Unlike Lost Galaxy, it feels to me like a natural sequel of In Space. After the alien invasion, the Lightspeed organisation was found to defend the Earth by future threats by creating its own team of Power Rangers. For the first time the villains were not aliens, but rather demons. This season gave us Carter Grayson, the most badass Red Ranger since Jason and it also had equally badass Zords. I loved that the Titanium Ranger's story is basically a kid-friendly deal with the devil story, as I freakin' loved the Titanium Ranger himself.
16:04 now that is a clever way to implement footage into a story.
We haven't had a good leader in PR in a looooooong time. Carter makes me miss that. Like Brody,...wtf even was he? Definitely not a team leader.
Brody literally is a joke compared to Carter
Well think of it the last good one was in rpm, saumrai wass a total sue, megaforce was a wood block, dino charge wass realy not a leader since it wass like spd or ninja storm were the focus on the red ranger were smaler than the standar, and ninja steel is a joke.
16:02 Someone needs to write a story where that woman gets called out. Not just for denying frequent monster attacks and brushing off a little girl whose parents were supposedly kidnapped by monsters, but also for not checking to be sure said monsters weren’t _in that very building._
9:59,imo this episode REALLY took itself seriously quite well and I've seen clips of the original episode from GoGoV but this was a lot better imo.
Yeah,I still don't buy it in that the thief in GoGoV didn't need to go to jail. A thief is still a thief. You still need to pay due for your crimes. I can chalk it up to the GoGoV being naive as well as Matsuri. Not everything can be wiped away with just a single flick. That's pretty much the harshness of life itself.
14:43,awwwww. :( Dana,dear.
I love Lightspeed Rescue in my opinion Carter and Dana are two of the best red and pink rangers respectively. I really enjoy the first responder concept and find it a shame they've never gone back to it. Also the military organization of it has me wishing they would do a proper spec-ops ranger team akin to the navy seals or army rangers.
Carter walked so Captain America could run
@16:46-16:50
The reason why Damon and Kendrix weren't even in part one of "Trakeena's Revenge", is because they are following what the sentai crossover movie, "Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V vs. Gingaman" did with introducing their respective sentai green and pink from Gingaman so very late in tge movie. Yeah, Ginga Green/Hayate and Ginga Pink/Saya were introduced so very late in the movie after Blue and Yellow and Bull Black/Hyuuga (Mike Corbett's sentai counterpart) were introduced early on in the movie. And since Mike Corbett, the Magna Defender (II) wasn't around to show up for the team-up, because story-wise...Mike sacrificed his powers and the Toro Zord at the end of the Lost Galaxy arc, they had to cut out Hyuuga's scene in the movie.
These Rangers are so awesome!
Is it me, or does the fire demon from the first episode look like Psycho Red's real form? Maybe it was intentional? So great to see this video come around
They reused the monster suit
@@jaimemartinez3336 yeah they reuse alot of villain suits like the ones from the machine empire: most of the generals are restocks from the hero suits called the beetleborgs..
@@jebVlogs556 they used Deviot's "Keonta spell" upgraded suit for the Wild Force-Time Force team up, and i remember seeing that suit in an episode from SPD, but i don't remember which episode....
@@CFox_ it's season one,episode 5 called "Dogged"
It is, and it pissed me off when it first aired. Don't use the strongest monster any team has ever fought as an episode one throw away, damn it!
carter was always my favorite red ranger he still is to this day
You and me both
This is hands down my favorite Power Rangers season of all time. As a kid this shit was so inspiring to me. I just came from watching the intro theme and was smiling like an idiot the whole time cause I hadn't seen it since I was in elementary. And now watching this video is awesome. This is what the internet is great for haha
I actually always found Diabolico interesting, maybe I invented the nuance in my head but the idea of a villian who rescues children and raises them to be evil made him seem both more honorable and dangerous then some others.
Can you please do a video focused on Jen Scott the pink timeforce ranger?
In my opinion she is the best ranger in the entire franchise, maybe only 2nd to tommy. In my eyes she was the true leader of the timeforce rangers, making her the only female lead. Plus instead of being a goody two shoes, super kind hearted, square ass leader like most other series, she's a total badass!
In both versions, TimePink/Time Force pink ranger were indeed presented as the leader of their respective teams. The series gave her great agency and authority, while still not forgetting the red ranger as the main character and emotional center of the story.
I always believe that the Lightspeed technology was develop thanks to the scrap left by the Thunder and Turbo Megazords
That's what it was meant to be in the original scripts
1. What were some of the BTS problems with Trakeena's revenge?
2. I wouldn't mind reviews of Big Bad Beetleborgs in the near future.
Your point about the receptionist not knowing about monsters if she's from another country and moved over and only just got the job that would explain how she didn't know
Lightspeed rescue was a good season however it was too rushed and condensed in its storyline. Titanium ranger should've had more screen time. I wish Ryan & Carter went on the mission together to capture them demons. Carter & Ryan could've been a dynamic duo like Andros and Zhane. Lightspeed rescue was too condensed
So essentially, Lightspeed Rescue is wasted potential? I agree
This show led to my cousin being a fire fighter!
No better way to start my day.
growing up with Vipra seems rough not the evil demon thing just the terrible acting
Do you think she did things to him
Lightspeed Rescue is probably my favorite after In Space.
My only question is are you gonna release a new Power Rangers story ever? I loved your Chronic Storm story.
I'm currently working on an original ranger story solely centered around Atlantis.
Thank you for the love!! I have several new PR stories to eventually release! I just need to heavily edit them before they hit Wattpad. A lot of them haven't even been looked at in over a year and a year ago I was a considerably worse writer, lol...
@@TheDisneyBrain I understand that I've consistently gotten better myself.
Lightspeed the first true standalone season of Power Rangers that has absolutely no connection to the other seasons minus the team up?
I just noticed... LSR's start and premise is surprisingly similar to samurai. Like, we see all of the rangers in their everyday life at first, being then torn from it to finally serve their ranger duty. ( like, both Chad and Kevin are seen being interrupted from some swimming Competition or something. ) Dana fills in the role for Jayden here, where she has a close relationship to the mentor figure *and* the sixth Ranger...
Power rangers light speed rescue is really good, I grew up with this season and Time Force. Both had a good story and good rangers.
Well, GoGoV vs Gingaman was a bit better, at least to me. Probably due to the Movie time length.
This is without a doubt my favorite season!
I think they could have done a bit more with Captain Mitchell being the one who saved Carter's life. In Trial by Fire, they could have had Carter tell the story to the other rangers, and in particular, have him say something like "I think it might have been Captain Mitchell but I'm not sure." This would shock everyone, most of all Dana, since her father apparently never told her about it. Then, in A matter of Trust, Dana, doing her best Luke Skywalker impression, could ask Captain Mitchell "Why didn't you tell me?" instead of complaining that he only sees her as his little girl, at which point Mitchell would tell her the truth, both about Carter, and her next assignment.
I know this is a small note but one notable episode of Lightspeed Rescue that stuck with me was a Kelsey focused one where she befriends an astronaut and I was almost convinced she was gonna come back as a recurring character/love interest for Kelsey. Something about their chemistry always made me feel like there was something deeper there that I thought Kelsey was going to be the first openly gay power ranger without lording over it too much
17:29 crazy i love that crosover
I think this would make a good HBO adaptation. Just hear me out.
DHS, DOD, DOJ, CIA, NSA, some other alphabet soup agency gets a new black budget and uses it to tap into some mystical force (laugh as you will) and uses it to create super soldiers. Maybe bring in ex CAG, DEVGRU, 24 STS, Special Forces and issue them the morphers.
Make it a really dark series that touches on sensitive subjects while our heroes throw down with superpowered extraterrestrial beings. Ta-da.
Also I don't think a local city firefighter would get funding to build a TSC SCI level underwater base. Now if he was an employee of DARPA or DOD then I could go along with the story.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! I have patiently waited for PRLSR and your review was SPOT ON!!! Yes the season had its flaws but it stayed true to what it was trying to do. I loved the season as a kid because I understood the every day heroes and military theme, I could connect with the characters and I understood the struggles. Yes I will admit, the team up episode was BAD!!!! As a kid I didn't mind it too much, but now the only thing I can watch without feeling embarrassed is the team up fight scene with all 10 rangers.
An off topic point I want to make: I really enjoy when the girls team up to fight the main monster and the boys taken on the foot soldiers (in any season of power rangers) they did that a lot in Wild Force and they do it from time to time here. It's just an observation and something I liked.
Once again I love your power ranger reviews and look forward to them anytime there is something new.
16:21 It should be worth noticn that the woman in that scene actually told the little girl that there's no such thing as monsters. Ok like WHAT!?!?!?! Then what do you call the creatures that have been appearing in the city as of late? Check out Linkaras reaction to that part because he said it better then I could've.
"Like eVeR!"
I died. XD
aira saya mau power ranger
I feel like LR Villains are a little bit underrated. I don't feel like they were incompetent, it was more the LR PR was more competent. The demons in General tried a variety of different tactics in alot of the episodes and usually when they used a new tactic, they would put the rangers on the robes until Ms. Fairweather puts out the desu ex machina of the episode. They tried various different demons, they would counter the previous episodes desu ex machina equipment and zords, and had their own contingency plans (like having the snake curse on the titanium ranger). If you compare them to say Zedd or Rita in the first two seasons, the Rangers alot of times would have to either figured out the monsters weakness or just beat the monsters with the same finisher after the monster beats them for a bit. In lightspeed rescue, most of the episodes is the demons are about to win, then here comes new weapons and zords. If say the demon clan fought the MMPR, the Demons would have beaten MMPR sooner than Zedd or Rita because I feel they would have adjusted tactics faster than Rita or Zedd did. Just my thoughts.
I personally align with the reading of Kelsie as a lesbian so I don’t really ship her with Chad
This is my very first Power Ranger team in my childhood. It wasn’t until my adulthood I learned they were not the original Power Rangers. Even then, they did not lose their place in my heart of hearts. That said, this is probably the most grounded Power Rangers team I’ve ever seen. Most Power Rangers are either very mystical or very futuristic. But this one is the most grounded Power Rangers team which is something I really like.
This is one of my favorite seasons. I loved it so much that I got to name my little brother after Carter, one of my favorite red rangers
Main weapons could’ve been water pistols and water balloons😂
For real 💀✋
i feel like this season missed out on a huge story opportunity for it to be shown that before he changed that diablico and ryan had a almost father son type of relationship with it being shown diabolico originally got ryan just to use but eventually started growing closer to ryan
Far from perfect, but this was 'my' season. Carter squad represent.
The Disney Brain
Operation Lightspeed was amazing, the super demons, Diabolico revolting, Curse of the Cobra, Carter, the amazing works kept coming. If the crossover eps and focus eps were better, it would've been the best season of the 2000s in my opinion
PS The Titanium ranger is my fav ranger of all time. Can't wait for part 2 🔥
2:06
Did they reuse Psycho Red Monster form?
Yep. It wasn’t the first time Saban reused and repainted a monster costume.
So...Saban forced the crew of Lightspeed to make Trakeena's Revenge?
I hope the Wattpad workout cuz I WANT THAT HYPERFORCE revieiw
More review or anything mean MAYBE JUST MAYBE A Season 2
(Yes as this time no confirm S2)
The reason why it was probably easier for the rangers to be on the same page is because a most of them have a lot of discipline/hero mentality.
