God I wish we could get new shows as loving insane as Season 2 was.


Just you know, without the unfortunate loss of half of the cast, and then the loss of the ENTIRE CAST at the end because they had to film a movie, and the lack of monster suits and no budget for a good third of it

What episodes were filmed along with the movie? I want to pay attention to the editing.

The ones where they're in Australia. The Wedding part 1 and 2

Hello! I see you.


They filmed a bunch of stuff in Australia late in the season, it'll be pretty obvious when we get there.

Also, I have to say I really don't care for the Thunderzords. I think as a kid I stopped watching pretty soon after the first couple of S2 episodes, and that would've been one reason why.

I forget what all the episodes were off the top of my head.

I know the Green Ranger Returns multiparter was also Movie filming time- I don't think Wild West Rangers was, that was after they got back to the States.

There is a specific point where in the show they literally go to Aussie land to justify shooting around there, so those are obvious. And yeah, the Wedding two parter.


Green Ranger Returns I don't think they were SUPPOSED to be there, but they were still filming there so that's why a lot of the locations are atypical.

I like the Zords themselves, and their relatively intricate combining scene. But yeah, the combination of having to splice it into footage from Zyuranger, and the fact that Dairanger's robot battles were all really dumb (pretty much summon the robot and do the slice with no fanfare) really makes the robot scenes in MMPR season 2 extra lovely.

I just really loved the Dinozords (the fact I never got that Deluxe Megazord haunts me to this day... well not really but you know what I mean) and was disappointed when they turned into the Thunderzords. I was a pretty dumb kid.

They're still writing "AHHHHHH" at the start of episodes. I suspect that'll quit by Zeo and it's far superior "zeoooo gooooooo zeeoooo" open.

Watching this now I realize that Jason was the best ranger and I was a fool to be part of the Tommy fan club. Also since people are watching this who weren't even alive in the Zordon era and are just now paying attention to it, oh boy oh boy is Countdown To Destruction going to be BibleThump Central if it doesn't air at 3AM Monday morning or some poo poo.

Finally, I didn't realize Jason went to Poor VO Imitation in the middle of an episode. drat.

I can appreciate them a lot more now, visually.

Holy poo poo, I forgot all the characters they added briefly to set up that someone other than Tommy was the White Ranger.

I have a feeling that if the characters were introduced today with the same level of popularity it had back in the day, there'd be shipping wars with Kimberly at the middle between Tommy and Jason

MMPR S2 and 3 is probably the kookiest parts of PR over its entire span. Turbo as it tried to transition from serious to comedy comes right behind I think. Nothing else matches the craziness that MMPR had.

Turbo off screen. He was finally able to be rescued but his original body had basically turned into pure energy due to how long he was stuck in the time warp.

He was a head in a tube in a time warp, who found a machine or cast a spell to project his head into another tube. Then an ewok got him out of the time warp back into his regular tube, then his tube got jacked on the way to his home planet.

He did have a corporeal body in one flashback where he collected some singing squash or something though, I can't explain that one.

It's always bugged the poo poo out of me that the blurry effect on Zordon left this wobbly dangling bit on the camera-left side, likely the actors neck. Won't inline it because I'm lazy to re-upload it, bottom left.

I was always under the assumption that Zordon's homeworld was taken by Dark Specter, and the SOS that sent him home was a ruse to kidnap him. Especially since while he's gone, the Phantom Ranger from the same homeworld shows up, acting solemn and mysterious and throwing weapons galore at the Rangers.

I kinda want Rifftrax to do a chunk or six of the series, now, because of the actually-kinda-funny cracks the chat is pulling out.

E: vvv Iirc, they couldn't even do fight scenes because the costumes were so lovely they'd tear them apart.

Which is really weird since the Dark Ranger suits are supposedly just recolored Z-Putty suits, and those got plenty of fight scenes

MisterBibs posted:

Ya know, it would've ruined a great scene in PriS, but I kinda wish Bulk and Skull knew who the Rangers were, with the Rangers ignorant of the fact that they knew.

Cause I'm one of those people who likes fanfiction and coming up with ideas for it, was fiddling with a concept for an AU for MMPR where Bulk & Skull are part of the original 5 Rangers instead of say Billy & Trini
