Power Rangers went through a lot in the 2010s, and almost ended entirely. With Disney fed up with the franchise after Jungle Fury, they gave it one last chance, and had no other choice. The result was Power Rangers RPM, but what exactly happened behind the scenes? We dive into that here.

Mike Ginn also stayed on hyper for some 1 shot rpgs and a series of rpg livestream volumes using 10 Candles. follow that up with HyperForce Yellow and HyperForce Black are digital in Power Rangers Legacy Wars the video game... it was a great experience

The irony is with all the drama is easily considered one of if not the best power rangers series and literally saved power rangers here. Also one of if not the only series where almost every character/actor had and has mainstream success to this day to the point lots of people forget they were on power rangers. It shows how well written and acted the season was. Probably the best acted season overrall.

And Shinkenger and Decade would crossover a couple of times.

Great video! It really makes me wonder how different the ending of RPM would have been if Eddie had been allowed to finish as EP. There’s even a rumour of there not being a “Black Ranger” episode because he wanted to have that be the finale title where Dillon is discovered to be a Venjix bot & final villain from the beginning, and for Tenaya to have been a red herring. So then she would have gotten her morpher and became a ranger, as said in the panel. It would have made 10 year old me CRY but I would have also kinda loved it

I was probably one of the few people at the time who was aware that this season was out there and happening, mostly because I searched fan sites that chronicles this stuff and kept track of air dates. The now defunct Linear Ranger website was one of my favorites to go to before he retired during the airing of the revised Mighty Morphin' in 2010. I did watch it and I enjoyed what I saw. The downside was that in the area I lived, the show aired at six o'clock in the morning. As a result, I only watched about the first 13 or 14 episodes before giving on "Power Rangers" because I was getting tired of waking up that early and it was the summer before I would officially be starting High School. I did manage to catch the rest later thanks to early era RU-vid. I realize it's probably a moot point now but a part of me can't help but wonder whether or not this season would've been a ratings smash had it been left in it's old Kalish Era time-slot of Monday nights at 8 o'clock when Toon Disney made the switch to Disney XD. I'd like to think the ratings would've been at least comparable to S.P.D. I remember early on they stated that Disney XD's mission statement was to air content specifically targeted towards boys aged 8-14. It sounds like "Power Rangers" would've fit right in with that demographic. Not to mention one of R.P.M.'s motifs was of race cars which I was under the impression that most boys loved. Eddie Guzelian was right. Disney foolishly set aside a gold mine.

In my opinion, this series coulda been a great send-off to another variation of rangers, perhaps in an alternate world. Of all the Disney Ranger Teams, Jungle Fury was probably the closest thing to the old school rangers team that we had, but RPM suffered from Disney preparing to write off the whole franchise instead of trying to figure out how to get kids attention to the show again. I would have made it so the next ranger team was the children of the first 2-3 teams and that they got their powers in different ways and good it from their parents. That way, you could re-introduce this generation of PR fans to the original generation.

I was born in 86 so I was there for the OG ones. Always kept my nostalgic love but lost track of them. Once I found this in Netflix and had just started doing home office. It was my downfall, my productivity decreased 10 fold. The show totally gripped me. I watched it for the plot, I couldn't believe it. Everyone's super charming and it's the kind of stuff an adult loves to see in PR (without going full mature).

@@HedgeOnStage There's a few advantages to the idea though. They could do a lot more with the monsters that would be impossible to do in live action. Besides, I feel like a lot of veteran actors would be onboard should it come to pass. (Excluding the ones who were enrolled into a union, died or moved on from the franchise, of course.) But I think it could work. I'm just imagining how all the original rangers from MMPR to Dino Fury would look in animated form. My issue would be all the distinctive features of each actor being simplified to look more child-friendly, to be honest. But yeah, I've always wondered how they'd look in modern-cg visuals.

I think a handful of channels who've dove into what happened to Saturday Morning Cartoons may have solved the main problem that Disney had with Power Rangers. While RPM was the only season that aired exclusively on the ABC Kids Saturday morning lineup, it was the only show that ABC Kids had for years where news episodes were on their block before they aired reruns on cable. They'd had one or two other shows over the time that the block existed, but mostly leased packs of episodes of other Disney shows from the Disney Channel. Except, one day, they straight up just stopped ordering new episodes. I think it was upwards of three years that the only show ABC Kids aired new episodes of anything was Power Rangers. How those cartoon lineups had worked, for a long time, was that a specific group who leased the episodes of shows for syndication subleased time on Saturday mornings from the public channels & these lineups were run almost like their own little channel. One of those RU-vid channels that did a documentary on the matter figured out that whoever was in charge of ABC Kids had a falling out with Disney because Disney was charging too much for their shows. Power Rangers was cheaply made, cheaply leased & was technically created by a separate company from Disney, Buena Vista Studios. Disney owns Buena Vista, but I guess they couldn't control the price of that show. So, Disney decided the only way to fix the matter was destroy ABC Kids & replace them, to entirely cut out the middleman. Unfortunately for them, whatever contracts were set up regarding the production of Power Rangers in the first place single-handedly kept ABC Kids running until the edge of when streaming services slowly began to rise up as a new market competitor. Ultimately, Litton showed up, subleasing equally cheap educational shows that had an easier time appeasing the FCC & took over almost every single public station, squashing Disney's plan, while the increasing move of audiences towards streaming kind of also made the entire matter obsolete.

I really have a tough time deciding which I like better cause they were both really good and have that same feeling of lets go out with a bang.

I even bought the DVD for it recently. I also really liked that Behind the Scenes episode they did. It felt so surreal for a children's show to show that kind of stuff specifically to young audiences. Also I want to mention Blood Punch here because that movie feels like a sequel to RPM since all the main characters/actors in that movie are the same main characters/actors we see in RPM.

MMPR was the only thing from my childhood that was as big a phenomenon as TMNT. People that are younger have no idea how big MMPR was. With that being said I quit watching as I aged out at ab the 3rd season (or which ever season they dropped the original costumes bc they ran out of Sentai footage). About 5 or so years ago I got the urge to check out where the series was & looked up where to start/best seasons & one of them was RPM. After watching RPM & a few other seasons I was honestly shocked by how good RPM was. My current ranking of thos I have watched is: 1. MMPR 9.5/10 For suit & zord designs & heavy nostalgia 2. RPM 9.5/10 For the story. Loses the .5 for having to use extremely goofy Sentai zords. Hate the Megazord. If I'm being honest this series is much better than MMPR, nostalgia feels just can't let this be #1 3. Time Force 9/10 For the story and Villians.

I can personally attest to not knowing about RPM when it came out. I was in college when it was on, and so TV in general was just not something that I had a ton of time for, but even online, RPM was not even talked about the way Dino Fury was this year. Barely any cast interviews, no fan interaction, and no ads for it on TV. But I managed to catch the episode, "Ranger Green" on Family Channel, which, at the time, was a combination of Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel here in Canada. And, unlike with the seasons prior to RPM, I actually saw the RPM toys at stores around the city. Mostly at Toys 'R' Us, but after MMPR: The Movie came out in 1995 finding Power Rangers toys was hit and miss as to whether stores would even carry them here. RPM just happened to be one of the seasons where the toyline was carried here. And like you, I only discovered just how great RPM is after the Shout! Factory complete season/series DVD sets came out.

Because I hadn’t heard or seen anything about a new season until I randomly saw some episodes and was able to watch a good chunk of the series. It wasn’t till MUCH later when all the series were on Netflix did I finally get to watch RPM from start to finish for the first time

Disney themselves got very quiet with Power Rangers towards the end of their time with it RPM was essentially only made by contractual agreement. Jungle Fury was originally the last series they wanted to make Saban himself after buying the franchise back even said he didn’t feel Disney used the property to its fullest potential

RPM has one of the most fascinating stories and I only watch it when they put it on Netflix like in 2014. I almost binge it at how refreshing was watching a serious kind of adult story of Power Ranger. Definitely in my top PR shows. I love the Green Ranger and the Doctor relationship and years later I discover they actually married in real life which is awesome.

Parents did complain that Power Rangers wasn't educational enough and had too much violence which is why the show had stopped airing Saturday mornings on FOX or ABC. It was on the Disney cable channel and if you didn't have that cable channel, you couldn't watch it

I just looked that up. It's only partly true. There were ABC affiliates that refused to air Power Rangers but, for the most part, it did air on the ABC Kids programming block on Saturday mornings. I know that firsthand, actually. I still remember being confused about it switching from channel 26 (our FOX affiliate) to channel 13 (our ABC affiliate) after Wild Force ended.

This is sooo good! I love this. I think Disney had the best run with the Rangers. I was growing out of PR when RPM came on, but I rewatched all the disney ones and Light speed when i got netfliX. I hope the new show they are making has more of a serous vibe cause when i tried watching PR samurai when i got older it was bad due to the actor or red, and just the annoyance of the green ranger. I think they are taking more of a kid approach now cause even the ones after samurai it just seemed like they don't care about the production anymore. Who ever has control now does not put as much into bad guy costume designers as they used to. The only other thing is PR samurai and Dino charge had the 2 hottest pink rangers i had ever seen on the show, besides AJJ.

As a fan since the original series, RPM ended up being my favorite season back when it aired. The self-awareness was a breath of fresh air, and it was all really well-executed. It was also my final season. Tried an episode here and there after Saban bought the franchise back, but I never really found it engaging again. It's certainly a "me" thing, though. I've barely been able to get into any Kamen Rider shows after Fourze either, and on the Super Sentai side I've only ever finished Gokaiger and Kyoryuger.
@arthurr.r.lucasspublicdoma5621
Like you, I also missed RPM during its original run(prior to Samurai the last series I watched was Jungle Fury, and even then I only ever watched a couple episodes because of how they would air it early in the morning.)and only watched many years later. It's definitely my favorite Disney era series and my favorite of the franchise vin general. This video does a good job illustrating how baffling Disney's treatment of the franchise was in retrospect, especially given how they're hellbent on milking the MCU(another long running superhero franchise) as much as possible.

I agree. I feel Power Rangers can learn from Power Rangers RPM. RPM is my number one favorite Power Rangers series because it’s so feel refreshing and aimed for young adults despite being an TV-Y7-FV and this series that is Power Rangers RPM will actually make you forget that this is a kid’s show. This proves that Power Rangers is willing to take more risk of it being more-matured in tone despite being an children’s series. Like from MMPR-Turbo, light-hearted fair enough, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force proves to be a bit more-matured in tone, while the Disney era did try to have an more-matured tone, which is mostly SPD and RPM, with parts being with Jungle Fury in it. This is something that I wish Haim Saban understood that Power Rangers needs to be taken seriously, but make it fun for all ages at the same time, if they wish for Power Rangers to be mainstream. I’m just saying. Power Rangers RPM proves to break that trend and is willing to be different compared to any Power Rangers series, which I wish that Power Rangers could do that a little bit sooner or later. I’m just saying. I’m not too worried about that! Although, I do give credit in an positive way that Haim Saban did have faith in adapting the Super Sentai series and giving birth to the Power Rangers franchise.

@Alex-db4jp 11 месяцев назад
I agree. I also wish that Saban understood that or maybe learning and being influenced from Power Rangers RPM and the best Super Sentai stories in order for Power Rangers doing their own original storylines and being more creative, and being a bit more-matured in tone despite being either TV-PG or TV-Y7. (Which I feel like Power Rangers can maybe benefit with an TV-PG rating despite airing on Fox Kids.) But I understand realistically in an Bussiness perspective, which I won’t go into details. But I’m just saying about Power Rangers, nothing negative towards anyone that is the cast and crew of the series. I respect them all!

This just adds more fuel on why I hate Disney as a whole , especially todays Disney but looks like they were franchise killers long before Marvel and Star Wars. I watched Power Rangers since the beginning of MMPR as a kid to Mystic Force. I ended it at Mystic Force cause that show just had all the elements of my childhood in one. It reminded me so much of Young Hercules, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog , Harry Potter and more. I came back to check out RPM and my god that show was amazing, I kept tabs on Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury but it never held me. RPM was just a whole other show in general, and its one of my fav series next to In Space, Time Force, Wild Force , Mystic Force. PR was suppose to end when In Space was around, maybe going forward they should say PR is ending every season so we can get actual good seasons again cause ever since Samurai came out and then they started skipping some sentai, its been downhill since. Jungle Fury is okay, I havent finished but the stuff I hear about Cosmic Fury, not even adapting the suits of Kyuranger and it only being 10 episodes long, seems like they have no idea what they hell they are doing. Could care less about the Netflix series, and I dont like Hasbro. I just went and rebought my favorite seasons on DVD thanks to Shout Factory. Im content that what I grew up with in the 90s to early 2000s, cause all my franchises today, is dogwater.

What makes the RPM great though are their characters and the stories despite not having the traditional practices of the power rangers franchise (battlizer, super forms, cycles and some other gears) I was greatly entertain. What I don't like about RPM is their zords and megazords because of their designs and for me was the worst of all in 2000s but it was the 1st Robot combination with 12 zords or 4 megazord combination beating the Power Ranger Ninja Storm Hurricane Ultrazord (unless your not counting the minizords) that was only thing that amazes me.

So after watching RPM, I enjoyed it and was very intrigued by the whole story, hell the actress who played Summer is the male role of one of my fav shows and I had no clue she was in this series. I went back and watched most of the older seasons of Power Rangers and this one just stuck out to me as a good concept and the cast did a great job overall in my opinion. Edit: I did like the behind the scene episode in the show since I've always been curious to see how things were done.
