Movie Special Review: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Once & Always
I have seen a lot of specials in my time but this one takes the cake. It is the best power rangers hour any Power Ranger fan could hope for. Trini is dead and leaves back a daughter trying to save Billy from a blast of energy from a robotic version of Rita Repulsa. I missed Jason, Kim and Tommy but things have happened in real life to not make it possible to be a part of this show.
Rest in power Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank. You are truly missed. We have homosexual content with Minh getting a distress shout out from a man asking for his boyfreidnd to be rescued. We see Kat using the morph call “Pteradaycle” something only used by Kimberly. Kat only used the shout “Pink ranger power” as she was introduced in the second half of season three of MMPR and then went through zeo and shift into turbo in power rangers turbo.
Billy has his own tech company and Zack is a US congressman, was, as he gave it up to become Minh’s guardian and robo Rita killd Trini. Minh because a power rangers after a blast energized her morpher and she received memories of Trini in action from 1993.
Kat and Tiommy have a son called JJ which is very possible seeing as how they wre grandpatents in the Christmas episode of Power rangers Zeo. Mirinoi was referenced and so was Cestria. This special tied up so many loose ends. But we still don’t know who Minh’s father is and what happened to Lrd Zedd. We heard a snippet of a memory of Bulk and Skull but that’s all.
Maybe we weren’t given more as it would atek away from the story of the rangers but power rangers wouldn’t be the same without our beloved bulk and Skull. Hey, we got the radbug back and it can still fly. no one farted in the radbug this time and ADam and Aisha are a part of SPD and they even referenced the Troobian empire. Aisha and ADam have a high rank in SPD it seeems but Alpha 8 was destroyed but what about Alpha 5, 6 and 7?
This special had some cool graphics and even though it references the 1990s this is what should have been in terms of effects in 1993. I am impressed by this special. We have been waiting monsths for it and it didn’t disappoint. Cool that Zack was Mknh’s guardian and is very protective of her, even though he had to displine her many times for wanting to exact revenge on Rita for her mom’s murder. Who would want that kind of payback. I would freak if I lose my mom or dad or both.
Awesome presentation but what was up with Rocky and Kat in the once a ranger scene where Rocky tried to fist bump Kat and she pulled back? Is Zach a democrat or republican. He’s black and a power rangers and the introduction to gay tolerance started in 2017 with Becky G’s character Trini being bisexual and then in Dino Fury with Fern and Izzy. Times are changing.
