Sentai Redoes a Season
So a few days ago I posted how I'd have done Megaforce/SuperMegaforce. It really wasn't a PR General Question so I decided to create it's own thread for it as I want to do more of these. Here's the original post if you missed it:

And here we are with how I'd have done the original season of MMPR. Now before I start, I understand a lot of why MMPR was as it was was (was was) because of budget. They didn't have the money for a lot of new footage. But since this isn't reality I'm going to do how I'd have done MMPR without budgetary constraints.
First, I'd keep the cast exactly how it was. Austin, Thuy, straight on down the line. Including JDF but don't you worry I'll be handling him later on. Second, I'd obviously keep the motif. Kids in high school, Dinosaurs, all of it. The show would open a lot like it did when it aired. Except that alien planet which obviously wasn't the moon yet was called the moon would actually look more like the moon in this version. No bright sky, no desert, just dark and dust. Astronauts wake Rita and after she sends them off scared tells them to warn their people. Their ancestors imprisoned her preventing her mission (More on that later) and she wants revenge. Rita being freed activates alarms in the Command Center where Zordon dispatches Alpha to find him teenagers with attitudes. This was the 90's remember, you needed attitude for everything back then. He finds them, they fight Goldar, and on we go. the first real serious deviation from the original comes (More than just quality) when we reach Green with Evil. I'd change the story. See, originally Rita wants Jason as her Green Ranger. Kidnapping him and trying to force the Dragon Power into his body. She fails as his Red Power and strength/overall goodness stops it from happening. What it does do is help Jason teleport to safety where he lands in an alley and finds.. Tommy. Who helps Jason as Rita attacks him, in anger she thinks she can destroy Jason now while he's weak before his friends arrive. She almost succeeds until she sees Tommy defending Jason and actually winning. Powerless. She smiles and kidnaps him instead. Infusing him with the power he becomes the evil ranger, does bad things, and it all ends with a hug. Again the show progresses normally until Goldar, wanting to impress Rita, challenges Tommy one on one. Knowing if he reclaims the Green Power Coin and the DragonZord he'll be her favored Knight once again. Tommy accepts, believing in his own power but Goldar lies and Scorpina makes her debut. Together they beat Tommy down until the other Rangers arrive. Rita, learning what Goldar planned, refuses to let this chance slip away and dispatches the only other MMPR villian who ever did anything memorable in the original version of the series. Lokar. Or the other giant floating blue head to appear on screen. Lokar forces them into their Megazord but Goldar snatches Tommy before they can escape. Kimberly falls with him and defends Tommy. Giving her much needed character growth. She's beaten, of course, and in a twist... Goldar kills (Yes Kills. As in dead) Tommy. It happened in kids shows back then Almost all the OG Autobots died in transformers the Movie, a GI Joe died I forget which one. So Tommy's dead. They don't show blood obviously but it's heavily implied he's dead. The coin can't fall to Rita again so at that moment an enranged Jason starts kicking ass. Avenging the man who saved him. During the battle the Dragon Coin shines and combined with the T-Rex Coin creating the Dragon Rex coin and giving Jason the nifty chest-shield and dagger. Now we skip ahead because the rest of the show goes the usual way until Lord Zedd arrives. Rita mentioned when she was freed that she was on a Mission when she was defeated and now he's come to learn what happened to her after feeling her energy return. And finds out she's failed so many times that she needs replaced. So he locks her awake again, like before, and blasts her into space again. Like before. One thing about my Zedd is he doesn't get watered down like happened when the show originally aired. Parents complained he was to scarey and they nerfed the character and it upsets me to this day. In my version he stays the ultimate leader of evil. The powers are given differently in this version too. In the original Zordon, somehow, turned Dinosaurs into a Gryphon and a Unicorn (Without a horn. A unicorn without a horn is a horse, Zordon). In my version Zordon says "The ThunderZords are the original weapons used by Rangers centuries ago to defeat Rita. They were locked away due to their power but now I see they are needed again for this new threat" So Zedd causes mayhem. Only I'd keep his 'gimmick' where he says that he can only make Monsters out of living things. It got forgotten later on where he made a camera come alive and brought a beetle out from a poster. But I liked that gimmick so it stays. Only things they are alive. So midway through the season Rita's prison encounters a rogue comet and breaks open. Riding the comet, as you do, she crashes into Earth's Moon where Zedd as taken over her fortress and challenges him for the throne. Whoever defeats the Rangers keeps the throne. Creating what, I think, would've been a badass rivalry as they try to out-evil each other. But needing their combined power to make Monsters grow. The Rangers are getting killed at first but Zordon has been working on a project. The White Power. It just needs a Ranger. One thing that bothered me about S2 of MMPR was how out of place JDF's acting was with the original character from Dairanger. So this would be an all new person. Say Trini's little brother. It gives them a white ranger and creates story as he learns about her life as a Ranger and what it means to be one himself. And because he's younger (Not as young as what's his name from In Space) it also gives the viewer a chance to see the world through his eyes and put themselves in his shoes. Learning lessons, being good people. Again show progresses. But where in S2 they never explained where the hell Tor and Serpentara came from, I would. Zordon discovers a power signal from Mars. There are two and he knows they are lost weapons from his home planet which must've crashed on Mars when he came to Earth. He dispatches the Rangers, Zedd dispatches Goldar and Scorpina (Who needed to stay cause she was amazing), and they race for the Weapons. When they arrive the Rangers find Tor and Goldar finds Serpentara. The problem being they need power. Specifically they need Power Ranger Power. So the Rangers get Tor running without an issue and ready themselves to grab Serpentara as well. But Goldar, being smart which he is rarely given credit for in S2, jerryrigs it to run without a Power Coin. But power is very limited. He only has enough to escape Mars and run for the Moon before crashing outside Zedd's castle. The Rangers take the win and return home with their new Zord. Zedd decides to use the power from his staff to power Serpentara. It's not enough to conquer reality like he wants but it is enough to power the beast when he needs it. And it gives Zedd the aura of being as powerful solo as a team of Rangers. Again, in my version he's a badass. The season progresses. Until, much like Zedd, a new threat arrives. Master Vile and Rito Repulsa (Who has the same last name. Why he was called Repulso in the original when they're siblings is beyond me). Vile greets his daughter while chastising Zedd for losing despite having a weapon like Serpentara. Vile imprisons Zedd forcing him to watch as Vile does what he never could. Kill the Rangers. Rito, who I tend to make a real threat, beats the Rangers so bad he makes a game of it. Dismantling their Zords in battle one by one before destroying their morphers. Powerless, Zordon recalls them and tells them there is a power. The Ninja Power. It was used on a distant planet centuries ago to beat back an evil much like Vile and rests waiting for another to claim it. They go, of course, and run into Ninjor who denies them the power much like before. They earn their power much like before and the Ninja saga begins. Where I'd differ is actually explaining why, even though they're ninja's, their suits look the same. I'd explain that the suits are just clothing. The real power lies inside the suit, so the Ninja Power created what was inside. I'd also change the suits with their Ninja Power Coin emblazoned on the chest much like the toys. Bridging old and new. I'd also change the order they get their Zords to match the original. Shogun into Ninja, having Ninjor explain "As your power grows it will evolve". I'd also explain the lack of a Pink Ranger by having her sacrifice her power at the start of the battle with Vile. Her morpher is destroyed but she explains she can't do it anymore. The threats never stop, she wants to be with her family, some honorable reason like that. Making it five Rangers and making the Zords make more sense. Flimsy, I know. As their power evolves so does their suits, you see. Going from Dai to kakuranger. I hate the Alien Rangers. I hated that hole mini-season. I hated the time reversal, I hated them going back in time, I hated the whole damned thing. So in my version it never happens. Now the end of the series leading into Zeo. Zedd breaks free and ransacks the Castle. Destroying Goldar and Scorpina for their betrayal, laying waste to any monster that gets in his way, banishing Rita into the sun, he goes on the rampage to end all rampages. Then comes face to face with Vile. He destroys Rito out of hand and pulls out a weapon he found deep inside the castle. The Zeo Crystal. Vile panics. Warns him what he's holding can unmake reality. It's a weapon he wouldn't even use because it's so unstable. But Zedd right now doesn't care. He's angry, he wants revenge, he activates the crystal. Vile can't stop it but he can give himself a chance to escape. He sends Zedd to earth with the Cryal in desperation and runs away only to have his ship be destroyed by Zedd from Earth. Laughing at him for running like a coward. Zedd starts using the Crystal to beat the Rangers down. Zack down, Trini down, all of them down. Until he gets to Jason. Jason uses his skill and gets hold of the Crystal changing the power.. See, the reason it was so unstable for Vile is it knew he was evil. It responds to whoever is holding it. Evil gets chaos, good gets.. Zeo. He uses the Crystal to finally destroy Zedd once and for all and as their celebrating the Machine Empire arrives. Drawn by the energy from the crystal they want to use it as their power source to launch a galaxy wide war against everything organic. And the season ends with Jason breaking the Crystal and handing a piece to each Ranger, having that piece become a Zeo Changer. And ends with Jason holding up his morpher calling out "It's Morphin' Time!" but a hand reaches for his and claims the pink Crystal. Kimberly. And with all six rangers reunited they morph into Zeo and run towards Camera ending the season with the PR Zeo title card. And that is how I'd do MMPR From S1 to S3. |
