The Neglected Power Ranger Era 

"DLC Rangers" is the best term for the extra rangers I've ever heard

Disney era is easily the best era of PR. They got some of the most liked seasons (spd, dino thunder, rpm, jungle fury) and objectively the best mentors (Kruger, Tommy, RJ). Even the worst of the era (operation overdrive) is just middle tier PR

The Disney era was my era.

Ninja Storm is one of my favorites and probably the most underrated seasons of all time, good to see someone show some props to that season. Disney also had the morphing sequences on lock… they had the seasons with the best even Operation Overdrive.

The Disney Era was actually what got me hooked onto Power Rangers. Overdrive, Jungle Fury, abd especially RPM were my exposure to the franchise.

i'm actually glad that he was a "samurai" ranger. samurai and ninja were just a job title. they worked together in history. that kinda blew past most of us back then since, ninja turtles and other ninja shows made us believe they were enemies. as i got older, i got interested in a bit of japanese history, they definetly mention samurai who were also ninjas or civilians who were ninjas working for the same lord the samurai served. they respected each other. on a side note: what made me interested in that topic back then was when i realized that korean swordsmen were often doing espionage or assassination. if they did it in korea. what about japan?

Disney Era is PEAK Powerrangers to this day

i remember all of these, how can you not?

Ninja storm was my favourite growing up. The thunder rangers were so badass

So many people sleep on In Space to Wild Force. The true golden era of PR

I don’t see how this is the neglected era because more people liked Disney’s run on Power Rangers then Nickelodeon & Hasbro’s run on the series. If anything, the Neo Saban Era’s more neglected.

Wild Force, Ninja Storm, and Dino Thunder were the peak of television for my childhood.

As much as I love the Neo-Saban Era for giving us Dino Charge, the Disney Era is also incredibly important to me! Ninja Storm, I believe, was on of the first power rangers I ever watched! And RPM is just so so good. These shows definitely need to be talked about more

so happy to hear this opinion as someone who grew up with Ninja storm and Dino Thunder

Ninja Storm is by far the best season of Power Rangers for me. Probably because when I was on holiday around 2003, I remember seeing it on a little tv, and just being hooked by it. I think I was 9. Wow 20 years have gone by real fast. 😊

Ninja Storm was the first PR season and will always hold a special place in my heart, i think it started the peak of Power Rangers when Disney tookover the rights

DAWG im born in 95 and only last week my brother (born in 89) brought his kids over and when I was putting on TV shows they said he'd only shown them Might Morphin... Please BELIEVE the first episode of modern Power Rangers I showed them were the Thunder & Samurai episodes of Ninja Storm.... great minds think alike

I like how this guy keeps Kenpachi's sword throughout the video talking bout Power Rangers truly a kid at heart

Cam has always been cool

Honestly the one thing i remember about ninja storm was how hot tori was. Also DLC ranger is the most hilarious term ive ever heard to call them by. Accurate

Disney is the neglected era? WTF, Disney era is the power rangers golden era. Ninja Storm had banger tracks, Dino Thunder had the GOAT rocking the mentor role(R.I.P JDF), SPD had a good story, whoever says that Disney was neglected is trippin

Captain diesel: endless barrage of battles screams. Me: and sparks dont forget flying sparks

If you're a wrestling fan, the Disney Era is like the Ruthless Agreesion Era. Underrated and over shadowed by the more iconic eras Attitude Era/Golden Era which would be the mighty morphin period. Yet me being older seems to run into fans who are younger than me that much to my shock they first experience Power Rangers at Samurai or Megaforce.

I grew up on Disney power rangers. They are my favourite.

Ninja Storm was my last PR for a while and that wasn't a knock on it. Theme was awesome, loved the Thunder Brothers, show was great. Was just changing in life and interests. So I like to remember it as going out with a bang. For me, best of the Disney seasons

Although my first season was WildForce and I'm more acquainted with watching and rewatching MMPR, the Disney Era seasons will forever hold a special place in my heart. Ninja Storm,, Jungle Fury, SPD, Mystic Force and RPM are ones I've watched and loved.

For Disney-era (not counting Wild Force) my personal opionon is: The greats.-SPD and RPM The good.- Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder. The a bit meh.- Jungle Fury and Mystic Force. The ugly lowest of the lowest.- Overdrive.

It's been a long time since i watched Power Rangers as i grew out of it,( i nowadays watch the more adult Super Sentai and Kamen Rider franchise's instead), but i remember liking the disney era a lot as a kid, specifically Dino Thunder, SPD and Mystic Force, it was cool how disney seasons gave the ranger's more character long standing development and tried experimenting with the tone, the callbacks to previous seasons in Dino Thunder and SPD and the great theme songs.

I miss jetix 😢

The idea of the Disney era being neglected is baffling to me. It knocked it out of the park for 6 out of 7 seasons. I started with the OG MMPR and I’d ranked most of Disney seasons over a majority of the Saban seasons and all of the Neosaban seasons. For me, Ninja Storm and SPD are the goats of PR. The main negative of the Disney era is the slowmo wire fighting…but the matrix effect was wild on most of the media of the time.

Ninja storm has to be my most memorable series. When I think of side rangers, it's those two :)

This was a very long video in some ways, and if you don't mind, I would like to say that I think your initial opening was more or less on point, and as a season of Power Rangers, yes Ninja Storm is definitely one of my favorites, and I was happy to hear you say that you appreciated the character development that the characters went through on screen. However, at the same time, I think you left out some other things that should be appreciated about this season including how they made an effort to legitimately show that the villains could have more interesting stories too. I honestly feel that this is another huge highlight of the Ninja Storm season! I also thought that you drowned on a couple of times. These are my main criticisms, but otherwise I think you did a great job.

Every Disney season is good in some way minus operation overdrive.

Now you gotta do each Disney season 😊

Speaking as someone who came to the franchise as an adult and has only been watching for less than 2 years (bounching from all different seasons), I have to say so far my favorite era are the 4 seasons right after Turbo. In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, and Time Force. They still have that classic feel pre-cell phones and such, and I like the adult rangers with actual jobs and more mature storylines. I think they also pushed the physical action the farthest they would until RPM. However, I've only watched SPD, Jungle Fury, and RPM all the way through for the Disney era, and I LOVED all of those, especially RPM. I think I'll watch Dino Thunder next, it seems pretty popular.

Dino Thunder, spd and mystic force easily the best power ranger Disney shows

Disney never promoted power rangers like they should have that’s why it’s forgotten

Kinda surprised this was a much underrated era of power rangers. Each new IP of rangers around this time slapped, the uniforms, the music, the cool megazords

I low-key forgot about the samurai ranger. He was pretty dope.

I’ll never get over the fact that the only thing Hasbro got around to doing for Ninja Storm was a retro Ninjakon figure that nobody (in their right mind) wanted. It’s so cruelly ironic that the only representation of my favorite (and admittedly first) season got was a retro retread of a non-canon, toy-only repaint of an MMPR character. There’s like 3 separate layers of insult to injury, there! I wish nostalgia blindness for MMPR wasn’t the driving force behind PR’s continued existence, but I guess maybe I should just be thankful that there are enough open-wallet-ed Mighty Morphin’ marks out there to potentially pave the way for some eventual new Ninja Storm merch. I still hate them, though. It feels like there’s nobody else to blame for the salt coursing my veins…

Disney era was the best era of PW Hands down

Ninja Storm slapped fr fr, but why PR Samurai showing up as a disney season tho

NINJA STORM WAS GOATED WITH THE SAUCE

for me, Power Rangers Mystic Force is the best.

I grew up watching Ninja Storm as well, plus a bonus fact that you should have mention: the show was suposed to be called Power Rangers Hexagon and it should be an Avengers's style organization leaded by Tommy Oliver as a Nick Fury type of leader, the origin of their powers was by Ninjor just like MMPR Season 3, and the Thunder Rangers was suposed to be in the Anti-Hexagon team and trained by Jason (OG MMPR Red), and Tommy suposed to be the Green Ranger and the final antagonist and had to end Hexagon and his story Arc as well. But everything had to be re-written as the PR franchise got sold to Disney.

I'm a girl that grew up with the original PR, I kind of lost track after zeo, and started watching again on time force, until ninja storm. I was a teenager at that time and I found the ninja storm cast so relatable. I really liked the story too. At least for my teen mind at that time, it was good to me XD Something tells me I should go and watch the other disney era PR that I missed. I DO RECALL starting to watch dino thunder but I got bored quickly. I THINK it had to do with the fact that Tommy was again a part of the team. See, I like Tommy, but I've never been a super fan. Probably because he got so much screen time? I don't know?? (I for sure cried as hell when Jason passed away though.) Like I probably wanted the same treatment to the original cast? I don't know, I was a teen and probably missed a lot of stuff. So yeah, I dropped on dino thunder, never finished watching it in fact, and didn't watch any season that came after. (If someone wants to recommend a particular season, I'm open to suggestions. My age won't stop me from watching PR as long as it has an interesting story XD Plus, I LOVE THE SUITS, AND THE EXPLOSIONS.) DLC rangers haha, loved the term.

Personally the Disney Era was one of my favorites of Power Rangers, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder and SPD were sick but also enjoyed the later prior Saban era with Lightspeed Rescue, Lost Galaxy and Time Force.

I mainly grew up with the Disney era of power rangers ninja storm all the way to jungle fury started with reruns of light speed rescue going into time force was awesome had the original movie and trubo on VHS the Disney era of power rangers shouldn't be ignored in the slightest they had they're good moments too mostly for my generation that grew up with toon Disney and jetex this spiderman x men gargoyles pucca super robot monkey team code loycko ❤❤

My first Power Ranger is Mystic Force here and i do have some fond memory of it Watch it by accident when i thought i bought a Magiranger dvd back in the day Overall i am not too familiar with PR outside of Mystic Force tbh as being in Asia they mainly just stream the original Super Sentai

RIP Pua

I love a lot of power rangers and the thunder rangers and where just so cool. Love the crimson red and navy blue. God i forgot how much of a nerd I was about this stuff 😂

Can we talk about spd for a sec SPD WAS GAS it was deemed the best power rangers at least in my family of power rangers watchers. Now its getting horrendously slandered because acab and and i that upsets me man Spd is so good Jack (red ranger) has more sause than anyy new gen mc I will not take any more spd hate bro

Solid video again sir.

Also wild force isn’t Disney season

The only thing I don't agree with you on is the title subject. The Disney Era is not neglected. At all LOL they all have many cults of people having one of those seasons being their favorite. Dino Thunder is one of MY favorites 🤣 and anytime I talk about Power Rangers lore with someone, they talk about the Disney Era being their favorite period

8:21 He has ninja costume. He uses a Ninjato sword and has a ninja shuriken on his face. But Disney wanted to call him Samurai for some strange reason

These were the best era of power rangers

Ninja Storm is one of my favorites

Every era gets love. Don’t really see how this era was neglected considering the fan base love.

Ninja Storm introduced me to Power Rangers, that show was the shit

Ninja storm was one of my favs glad your talking about it Glad I saw this video tho I didn’t know there was a whole era thing with. Especially with there being different ownership on different power ranger shows.

Fire Video!!!

Disney Era for lyfe 🍪

I like how you mentioned everyone in the Disney era and just skipped operation overdrive

Great video man!

1:36 brazilian here, man that shit was awful, my family were good, wealthy, but not to the point of paying international cable. I remember that for some reason, every 3 months or so, Jetix would "open on national cable" on a random channel number for like 3/4 days, and that was enough for me to have access to Power Rangers, that was 2006, so I was able to watch SPD, Dino Thunder, Ninja Storm, etc. And another famous channel here called Globo had the rights to Time Force and Wild Force until 2007. that used to be my means to watch the Rangers, and thinking nowadays we can just search any season and find easily is so insane!!!

Green samurai ranger was my favorite toy back in the day, this video unlocked memories bro 🙏🏿😂

I watched power rangers pretty much since the beginning and I probably stopped watching after operation over drive. Simply because I was graduating high school and going to college. I lost touch with the show for a while. I did pick up glimpses of the show here and there when Nickelodeon took over the show for a while with Power Rangers Samari and eventually Sabine took the show back with Mega force I think, I saw the Dino charge series and I have not had an opportunity to fully watch the last remaining seasons. I did however catch the Mighty Morphing Power Ranger special on Netflix. I hope they bring back a special for all of the Seasons eventually. By far, for me, some of my most memorable seasons in order that I can remember. Mighty Morphing, Turbo, Space, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, which I believe was the start of the Disney error, Dino Thunder, SPD, Over Drive, Samari, Mega force, and Dino Charge. Some people may or may not agree with my favorite picks but let me say that there were some seasons in the power ranger run that did not appeal to me at all. I actually do remember losing interest after Zeo came out, but then they announced the Turbo movie, and I picked up interested again, partly due to because I was becoming a teenager at the time, and turbo was all about teenagers and cars. The show grew up with me, and I am glad it did.

The disney era was great i mean Ninja storm was a huge upgrade in a lot of aspects and lets not talk about Dyno thunder and the definitive blockbuster that was Spd/ Dekaranger in Japan i mean the japan version of spd had 5 movies

I wonder, are there rangers related to each other like Cam Watanabe from Ninja Storm and Mia Watanabe from Samurai?

5:32 Tommy didn't start this trend. Super Sentai did. 11:08 Also the main reason most people only talk about MMPR and Tommy, R.I.P, is coz of nostalgia. Plus a lot of old heads stopped watching by Zeo and Turbo, coz they couldn't handle the new costume and rangers, so MMPR and Tommy are all they can remember.

Saban's lost galaxy >>>>> whole disney era

Ninja storm is the blade of this era to me

My favorite series is Dino Thunder. White rangers suit was intimidating.

Huh. I never really thought the Disney era was neglected. I mean it brought a lot of old fans just on Dino Thunder and the return of Tommy alone. Heck Dino Thunder is what brought me back into the franchise after dropping it at the end of Time Force. While some seasons were lacking. Looking at you Operation Overdrive I thought it was overall quite the successful era for the teenagers with attitude.

They were not trained to become rangers like SPD. They were just the only 3 not to get captured so had to become rangers. Then its revealed at the end it was their destiny. But it was their ninja power not their ranger powers that defeated the big bad which dosn't tend to happen.

I’m still angry that my favorite seasons of Power Rangers (Ninja Storm & RPM) barely got ANY representation in Battle for the Grid.

Tbh I was always into the older Saban era stuff as a kid but when we got to the Disney era the vibe was different like a good different. I wish we can go back to something like that for PR again cause things fell off since Samurai till now. It ain't hitting man

Amazing Video! Are you going to make a video on Dino Thunder?

I dig your copy of Tensa Zangetsu!

Ninja Storm and my goat Dino Thunder are so good

0:00 - 0:12 Ok, I feel EXTREMELY called out it's not even funny

Easily the most overlooked seasons of power rangers when they are low key the best seasons of the franchise.

i love you and this channel lol nun weird but you got a new sub

4:02 That photo's not Jeremy Sweet, it's Ron Wasserman..

Ninja Storm through SPD were awesome. I did not care for Mystic Force or Jungle fury. RPM was FREAKING NUTZ! My top seasons just for enjoying Power rangers: 1: Ninja Storm. good Story, fun characters with strong personalities, unique powers, and disparate fighting styles. 2: In Space. Amazing story and character arcs, satisfying conclusion, and Psycho Rangers. 3: RPM. THAT IS NOT SPANDEX! 4. Season 1 through Peace Conference Season 2. Characters fully fleshed out, amazing choreography in unmorphed fights with very distinct fighting styles, First megazord change, and Lord Zedd was a force of nature when he first showed up on screen. 5 is kind of a tie between Lost Galaxy and Time Force. Lost Galaxy had "To The Tenth Power," followed by "The Power of Pink," while Time Force had just better overall production, and an actually very deep story.

Disney Era was the Greatest!!!! Best Story Arcs, Fight Choreography, and even the Acting for Power Rangers was better. A lot of those Actors went off to other big shows, and movies.

The Disney era Power Rangers theme songs where the best since they were not just a remix of go go power ranger butt where brand new with each disney era power rangers era show just like each season of super sentai has a brand new theme song each time.

Ninja storm and Dino Thunder are my favorite seasons

I forgot the Disney era was slept on then again outside of the real fans the Disney and post zordon era was slept on by the genwunner crowd who ignored the series in its actual prime whining where’s this and that

I think I was 1 year old watching MMPR, and then grew up with the rest of the Saban series. I stopped watching after Wild Force and only caught Ninja Storm and SPD on ABC Family, but then anime became huge and I stopped watching all together. It wasn’t until NickToons marathoned the Disney era of the show did I grow to love those series. Ninja Storm, DinoThunder, SPD, and RPM are the best of the franchise to me. The show isn’t filmed like a kids show. Those looked like actual TV shows. And the acting and dialogue is better than the Saban seasons.

I think k dino thunder was the best season. it was a true love letter to the series

i never knew about might morphin for a while cuz my first intro to the rangers was Wild Force which i thought was the coolest thing ever. then when i realized it was over and there is a whole new team who are NINJAS i lost it. then dinosaurs? i didn't even know who tommy was in the series or his significance till 10 years later lol. my entire power rangers exposure was from wild force till mystic force and i'm really happy i got to experince that diversity in teams and settings, specially when i realized many of the older ones were the same team just rotating different members everytime with tommy and the red ranger staying for multiple series, i'm not a fan of that

I feel the same way about the Kobe era of Basket ball but yea NS was a real good season

Fun fact: Cam is the 2nd and last green sixth ranger. Tommy being the 1st (DUH!).

My favorite episodes were when Tommy whooped on all the rangers while he was still evil. Can you imagine if he would have remained their nemesis?

May you please do SPD personally that was the best season for me growing up and we actually had a good black red ranger 😂😂 (Nevermind watched your video it was pretty good)

idk if it was an editing error or if you made an honest mistake but samurai was the beginning of neo saban. disney era started at ninja storm and ended at rpm.

SPD is the most underrated season.

they made the green ranger cooler in the adaptation, cuz in the original super sentai, he was a baseball themed ranger and his sword was a baseball bat and the morpher was the ball.
