Thunderstrike's Legendary Ranger Marathon: Day 18:



Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie

Yes, this film is no cinematic masterpiece. But, it is still enjoyable, to say the least. Also, it should be noted (even though most of you already know this) that while this movie is separate from the actual continuity (much like the upcoming Lionsgate film), it can easily be assumed that what happened in the show up until this film happened in the film's universe.

The Ranger's suits in this movie are fantastic. That said, I can't help but be reminded of the Samurai Rangers' Mega Modes. Let's just compare the two for a moment.




There a few things that I don't like about the movie (like the obvious male lips on the Yellow Ranger helmet), but there is one thing that I (along with the rest of the fandom) hate:



THIS! What the heck is THIS supposed to be?! Because it sure as heck isn't the Ninja Megazord.

Some characters that aren't even mentioned in the movie are Ms. Appleby, Mr. Kaplan, the Putties, Finster, Scorpina (even though she only showed up once after Season 1), Squaat, and Baboo (among others). Ernie is only merely referenced, and the Power Weapons are completely absent, replaced with miniature weapons like the Stega Stinger and Pterodactyl Thunder Whip.

On Thursday, we will be returning to continuity with MMPR Season 3, since for the next two days, I will be catching up on Ninninja and Kamen Rider Drive, along with starting Ressha Sentai ToQGer.
