With the movie coming out today, let's relive the glory days.

First, SJW would be all over this cast of characters if they tried this today, but frick em. Today's cast is such dogshit.



Second, this was my first crush as a young truth teller. Chick had me sporting wood constantly.



Third, I wanted to c unt punch this bitch.



Lastly, tGOAT of all TV intros.

Had many a Power Ranger bday parties as a kid. It sucks gettin old.

Where I grew up everyone liked Power Rangers but it wasn't cool to openly like Power Rangers. Interesting dynamic.

Anyhow, good show, learned most of my self defense tactics from seeing how the Rangers took on putties

Same. I was in middle school, and didn't understand the hype.

Poor pink range has hit hard times.

Masters of the Universe, Voltron, ThunderCats, TMNT, GI Joe, Transformers, Go-Bots, and pretty much everything else done in the 80's > Power Rangers.

Fun Fact: the original black Ranger doesn't have a middle finger on his left hand.

I remember the prime time special they aired on Fox at the start of season 2. That show was absolutely massive in it's day. The TV franchise is an absolute shadow of its former self. For what it's worth, I think the show is in much better hands with Saban than Disney. The Disney error shows were horrible.

As an adult, I've grown to appreciate the Japanese footage a lot more. I never realized as a kid that almost all the fighting, especially in season 1 was stock footage from Super Sentai, even though when you go back and re-watch it's pretty obvious when you're watching Sentai footage vs American footage. Super Sentai has been running since the 1970s.
