Power Rangers review: From "Teenagers with Attitude" to "Defenders of the Universe" to NOW

edited December 2023 in General Discussion
897 EPISODES. 146 RANGERS. 21 TEAMS. 26 YEARS ON THE AIR. AND THE POWER WILL NEVER END.
On August 28, 1993, the world was introduced to a brand new team of heroes. The interdimensional being named Zordon chose Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly to become Earth's first POWER RANGERS, among the countless teams and generations of beings from all planets, galaxies, and dimensions who have all fought for the safety of the universe. Ever since that day, the world has been saved over and over again by many different teams from different worlds.

10,000 years ago, the intergalactic being Zordon fought in a war against the evil space sorceress known as Rita Repulsa. Rita Repulsa and her forces were finally captured and imprisoned inside a space dumpster, but not before she trapped Zordon in a time warp. In present day (1993) she is released, by two unsuspecting astronauts, and decides to conquer and destroy Earth. Zordon decides that Earth needs Power Rangers. Power Rangers are super-powered warriors who have defended the universe for many millenia, and there have been many teams and generations of them throughout the universe. Zordon chooses five human "teenagers with attitude" (Jason Lee Scott, Zack Taylor, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, and Kimberly Ann Hart) to be Earth's first team of Power Rangers to combat the forces of Rita Repulsa and other villains from across the universe. They become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Master Vile, father of Rita Repulsa and Rito Revolto, uses the Orb of Doom to cast a spell to reverse the Earth's rotation, turning everyone into children, including the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Due to the spell, the Rangers become powerless, so Zordon calls for help from five of his alien friends (Aurico, Cestro, Corcus, Tideus, and Delphine) from the watery planet Aquitar. Zordon turns these five aquatic beings into Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers to defend the Earth until the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers restore everything to normal.

With the Power Coins destroyed, and the Alien Rangers gone having served their purpose on Earth, the Rangers turn to a new source of power, the Zeo Crystals. The power of the Zeo Crystals turn the former Mighty Morphin Rangers and newcomer, Tanya Sloan, into Power Rangers Zeo. With this, the Rangers renew their mission within the hidden underground Power Chamber. With their new power, the Rangers must face a new threat, the Machine Empire, who has succeeded in scaring Rita and Zedd away and plan to conquer Earth.

With Rita and Zedd's opting not to continue fighting against the Power Rangers after their success in "blowing up" the leaders of the Machine Empire, the Earth is at peace and the Rangers are ready to graduate from Angel Grove High School (class of 1997) and move onto college. They are soon called back into action when a group of pirates led by Divatox, the Intergalactic Pirate Queen of Evil and Toxic Diva, comes to Earth with plans to conquer the universe. The rangers, along with a kid named Justin Stewart, shift into higher gear and become Power Rangers Turbo. Zordon and Alpha 5 leave for Eltar after the wizard Lerigo frees Zordon from his Time-Warp imprisonment, with the inquisitive Dimitria and Alpha 6 arriving to take their place and help the Turbo Rangers.

After the destruction of the Power Chamber, the powerless Turbo Rangers (minus Justin) get a shuttle and chase Divatox into space. They meet Andros, the Red Space Ranger, who informs them that Zordon is being drained by Dark Spector, the leader of the United Alliance of Evil (which includes Rita & Zedd, Master Vile, the Machine Empire, Divatox, and many other evil-doers), who plans to conquer the entire universe. Andros gives TJ, Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie morphers and they join forces to become Power Rangers In Space. Dark Spector assigns his co-leader Astronema, the princess of evil, to stop the Rangers from finding Zordon until the draining process is complete. The Space Rangers soar through the universe on the Astro Megaship and undertake a universal mission to save Zordon from Dark Spector, battle evil throughout space, and stop the United Alliance of Evil from conquering the entire universe.

Some time after the Space Rangers' final battle, humans from Earth begin a journey across space aboard the city-like space chip called Terra Venture to find a new world for humans to live on. Meanwhile, a planet called Mirinoi is attacked by insectoids led by Scorpious, who want to steal five legendary and powerful swords called Quasar Sabers and use their power to conquer the universe. A native girl from Mirinoi falls through a portal and asks for help from a small group of Terra Venture crew members and a stowaway from Earth. The small group succeeds in pulling the Quasar Sabers out of a stone, and the Sabers transform them into a new team of Rangers, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Armed with the Sabers, and assisted by Alpha 6 and DECA on the Astro Megaship, they take on the forces of Scorpius, his daughter Trakeena, and other villains, with help from the Galactabeasts (giant animals that also serve as zords) while defending Terra Venture as it soars through the galaxy.
