Power Rangers is a franchise that ran from 1993-2023 consisting of 30 seasons, 3 movies, and an anniversary special.
While most of the combat footage was from Japan's Super Sentai series, the plots could diverge wildly from what they were adapting.
Now it seems as the franchise has reached it's end (outside of comics and games), and Hasbro is auctioning off basically all the props they have left from the 30 year run. The auction still has a few weeks left, but I won't link it in case that's against the rules. It's easy to find, Heritage auction or something. There is some cool stuff in there (the filming minature of the Astro Megaship for example) but way out of my price range. Also some of the actors have expressed interest in getting their own suits, but unfortunately some people are driving up the price on those since the actors said something.
The final season, Cosmic Fury, featured completely original suits and combat sequences (except for the Zords) that didn't originate from Sentai.
Anyways, with the franchise seemingly over, I figured I'd throw together a little survey. Fill free to answer as many or as few as you'd like. Or throw in extra ones, I'm not grading these or anything. Go wild.
Also feel free to post clips of your favorite scenes. Remember that time Tommy jump kicked a tyrannosaurus rex in the face? He wasn't even morphed at the time!
Also the Twitch Stream of the entire series they did a few years ago was fun as hell. By far the most fun I ever had on twitch and let me see some of the series in a new light.

God.
Kind of unfair since pound for pound Power Rangers RPM had the best actors and then a bunch of them got together in a movie.
"Theeeeeeeeey knooooooow to only use their weapons for defeeeeeeense"
Kinda dampens the enthusiasm the chorus promises
Besides. The Green Ranger is way better anyway.
I enjoyed the original 90s power rangers but rapidly aged out of it and got embarrassed about it and didn't watch any of it for like 15 years
Then viewtiful Joe came out and was damn near the coolest videogame of all time
And I went pretty deep into power rangers and super sentai and Kamen Rider stuff

Was RPM where Rose McIver came from as well?
Like many others, I am still effected by Mighty Morphin nostalgia. I may change answers later.
power rangers LIGHT SPEED RESCUE
racciiiing through somethingsomething timeeee
beyond the earth, beyond the skyyyy
That is 100% them trying to get ahead of the angry parent mob.
Yep. Also Eka Darville who was in Spartacus and Jessica Jones.
On another note, I'm looking forward to the new game in a few weeks:
Don’t really have an opinion beyond that.
You're not wrong, I definitely recall one horror story in the news of kids trying to re-enact the stunt fighting, but yeah it saps the energy of what is otherwise a banger
Please enjoy this tiktok of marching band maneuvers set to the power rangers theme
Does your Dúnedain pick Two-Weapon Fighting or Archery
Be ready to hear Go Go Power Rangers a lot because they included every version of Mighty Morphin (ie. Pilot, Season 1, Season 2 Part 1, etc.)
hey i wanted to apologize. im realizing that by the end my brain was thinking of the opening theme from crystal chronicles
I decided to click on it to give myself a refresher and see how some of the songs I liked ranked.
Shortly into the video, I find out that the youtuber is an actual Power Ranger (the red ranger from Dino Charge, which to be fair is one I haven't actually seen yet).
