Power Rangers has been around nearly 20 years now and not every season has been popular - in fact, some seasons have been downright despised by a majority (at least vocal majority) of the Power Rangers fanbase over the years.
- Turbo - Lightspeed Rescue - Wildforce - Mystic Force - Operation Overdrive - Jungle Fury My question is this - if you could change one season of Power Rangers, any season at all, which would you change, why would you change it, and what would you change about it? Power Rangers Turbo The way the season was currently set up, Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa looked to be heading back in to the action as the main villains. Suddenly, Divatox randomly appears to release an all powerful monster that she plans to marry and take over the world. The Power Rangers then get "Turbo powers" (randomly) and a new Blue Ranger (Justin the kid) and go save the day. Why change it? For starters, it abandoned everything about Power Rangers (MMPR and Zeo) that was good - character based plotlines and villains that were interesting. Instead, we got an entire cast of villains that tried to be comedy relief, Power Rangers (for the first half) that didn't need characterization because they'd been there in some cases for 3 to 4 seasons, and having a kid Ranger just really stunk the idea up. What would I change? For starters the villains - instead of Lord Zedd and Rita just disappearing, have them accidently uncover a new villain that takes over, and have the entire season be them being lackies to a new big bad, while trying to plot an insurrection. I still think the team needs to be replaced - but instead of just having some new mentor appear and take them away, have Billy return as the mentor and have Zordon take the other Rangers, as Zeo Rangers, to Eltar to fight off an invasion from an unnamed villain (perfect In Space set-up). Billy could then become the Phantom Ranger (as Judd Lynn said he'd like to do) to help the new team. Eventually the big bad wins (like in the original Turbo) but as he's about to claim ultimate victory, Dark Spectre summons all of them away. Billy mentions that a distress signal came from Eltar ... Zordon and the Zeo Rangers were over-powered and Zordon is captured, while the Zeo Rangers were teleported back to Earth by Zordon but have no memory of their lives as Power Rangers. The new team would decide they need to go to Eltar and save Zordon. Billy and the Blue Ranger (some new character) would decide to stay behind to track down Tommy and the others to try and bring back their memories and thus their powers. The only two that would actually be saved would be Adam and Tommy, for obvious continuity reasons. In Space can then happen as is. Thoughts? Your own suggestions? |

There are still people who dislike Lightspeed Rescue?
I want them all dead. Now. Me, I'd change Ninja Storm to try and be less "bro-like" with the dialogue. Hearing "dude" so gratuitously used makes me ashamed to watch that show. |

Personally, I would actually change RPM. Largely to make it end in line with the original plans instead of being a rehashing of Andross and Astronema. The Ranger Black ending was really dark, but it would have been one of the most jaw-dropping and memorable moments in Power Rangers history. |

Back when I got back into the show when Dino Thunder was starting I always saw Lightspeed Rescue listed with Turbo and Wild Force as the worst Ranger shows. Personally, I'm not a big fan - it has its moments, but the acting is some of the worst in the franchise (especially Vypra - I have no idea how she got the job, but it was probably on her back). Probably the best "base raid" finale next to Turbo, though.

I agree, Carter is probably one of the best red rangers EVER, loved me some lightspeed rescue, while i've never seen its sentai counterpart Ckyuu Ckyuu Sentai GogoV, the themesong for GogoV is amazing
and how can you hate Super Train Megazord, that thing is amazing still love me some Lightspeed Rescue even if the show was weak at times And I agree with you both about Carter. He was and is the best PR red. The thing that bugs me about the PR Train is that in it's formation they remove the ding ding sounds. Like you would hear at a train crossing. Those were there in GoGoV, and they would have been perfectly fine in the PR. I am not sure why they removed it. I am not really sure I would edit or change any PR. There are only a few PR series I enjoy. LightSpeed, lost galaxy, and time force. And to me, they were fine as is. |

Lightspeed rescue was really good, which came as a pleasant surprise to me when I watched it recently.
First of all I'd change the Samurai origin into this (previously posted in the Samurai Yay or Nay thread) so the whole concept of Western samurais isn't so ridiculous. Quote:
I've wondered that myself. An idea I had was if the show started the way it did with the ancient Samurai using the ranger powers, but after Xandred's defeat the origami symbols become relics of the past, bouncing from museums and private collections over the years. During this time the symbols don't turn into the origami animals once.
Cue modern day, and with the Nighloks on the loose again the origami animals wake up in the hands of the five current owners of symbols. Ji shows up claiming he's been waiting the arrival of the 'chosen Samurai' and THEN they team go off to learn to be samurai. Okay, its a little fan-fictiony. But I like it. I'd also change Ninja Storm by getting rid of all traces of Lothor, because he really brings that show down.

On the subject of the first post, after Linkara's History of the Power Rangers on Lightspeed Rescue, I decided to check it out on Netflix.
How could anyone hate that series? The villains were a bit bland, but aside from the Scottish robot and his sidekick, I found them just as, if not more, interesting than the Zeo villains... Also, Wild Force was awesome. Anyway, I'd change Jungle Fury. While I'm not a purist who gets butthurt over every mild change from Sentai to PR, I really thought the martial arts based story worked. The Rangers practiced it in JF, but it didn't feel like the driving force (Granted: I'm biased because I didn't finish it)/ |
