Power Rangers was always a series aim towards kids from 3-8. I remember after the 3rd grade or 4th grade, Power Rangers was considered to be a lame thing. Power Rangers is one of the tamest kids shows out there, even my Cousin's four-year son loves Power Rangers.
I still remember when MMPR was a hot thing in pre-school and day care from 1994-early 1996. I even dress up as the Red MMPR Ranger for Halloween back in 1995. Quote:
Or something about it is just evil. *shrug* I have no idea.
No one that I knew took the whole "Power Rangers is bad and hurtful" to kids. Parents that I knew (including mine) laugh at it and call those people to be silly.

Going back to Romeo and Juliet, I just concluded that it's not a story about two star-crossed lovers; it's a story about two depressed horny teenagers who commited suicide just days after meeting each other.
Peehaps people viewed it as violent because it was live-action? I could be wrong seeing how I was born after this century started but maybe it's because cartoons were viewed as 'made-up' compared to real people punching each other? I mean, I'm pretty sure Transformers was slightly more violent than Power Rangers (but then again no one minds robot violence that much compared to people violence). |

Have you seen the Disney Davy Crockett films and tv specials from the 1950s? Lots of shootings and stabbings. Characters died, albeit in a cheesy clearly fake manner. These were incredibly violent and yet marketed towards children. I find it very odd what’s considered acceptable over half a century ago vs what’s considered violent over the past 27 years.

And the Robocop, Mortal Kombat, and Rambo cartoons were VERY WATERED DOWN if I recall. I'm talking G.I. Joe laser tag levels of watered down.

Probably because it was live-action while those were animated so 90s censorship people were thinking this is close to reality, we must put restraints so that kids dont jump off a jungle gym to emulate a badass jump kick.

If I remember correctly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also deemed too violent for kids even though it was animated (not counting the live action films). I had neighbors that weren’t allowed to watch TMNT, Power Rangers, or The Simpsons. Strictly Disney and educational programming. I also had another neighbor that wasn’t allowed to watch Disney because it was “too secular.”
