It was twenty-two years ago today that an evil space sorceress by the name of Rita Repulsa escaped her space-garbage-can prison with the goal of conquering the Earth. An intergalactic being known as Zordon, along with his robotic assistant Alpha 5, selected five teenagers with attitude to take upon the ancient power of the dinosaurs to become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. For twenty-two years different teenagers (and adults) have taken the mantle of power to save the city, to save the Earth, to save the galaxy – even to save time itself!
We’ve had evil villains from space, space pirates, an entire United Alliance of Evil, a Machine Empire, evil demons from a place that was obviously Hell but you can’t say that on a kids program, space insects (a couple of times!), a computer virus that conquered the world, a scientist obsessed with dinosaurs, an evil ninja, space cats (…yup), an entire Armada, and an evil bounty hunter. We’ve had mentors that rhymed, sang, once drove race cars but became paleontologists because television, a ninja hamster, created a robot son because that’s not creepy, an introvert genius, a samurai mentor, a head on a wall, a dog, and now a creepy little alien that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. We’ve had a kid Power Ranger, we’ve had a Power Ranger die (but come back to life because kids television), we’ve had a tragic story of a knight who lost his son and the grief kept him alive, we’ve had a mother/father/son team of Power Rangers, and we’ve seen a team go SUPER MEGA (you knew that was coming).
We’ve had the original creations of the Titanium Ranger and the Spirit Rangers and we’ve had BLITZ NEW POWERS!. We’ve had great music selections and we’ve had some questionable theme songs. But in the end, we’ve had 22 years of heroes and that’s a feat that is pretty dang impressive on to itself.
Happy Birthday, Power Rangers. Please enjoy this montage of opening sequences from the last 22 years brought to you by the folks of RangerCrew.
