Watched Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers from episode 1 to the end of the Green With Evil arc with my girlfriend, her seeing it for the first time, me rewatching it for the first time in many years. Some of our thoughts below:

Like in the 2017 movie, Billy is clearly the best ranger and we love him

Kimberly being a valley girl without also being a bully or a bitch is so refreshing

Everyone's fashion sense is great and peak 90s, but we particularly called out Zack for always being on point and Jason for wearing the same outfit of tank top and shorts in nearly every episode

But when Jason does mix it up, it's always in the strangest way possible (tank top, shorts and then a jumper tied over his shoulders??)

Speaking of fashion, that green netting tank top on Tommy whilst evil? Loved it

Amy Jo Johnson played a very good Billy in the body swap episode, but David Yost fucking killed it as valley girl Kimberly in every scene

Jason is clearly Zordon's favourite. He is the only one he ever calls on the communicator. The inside of his tube is the "do t for her" meme but with Jason pictures

Billy is definitely on several government watchlists and was probably let off from being arrested from trying to get plutonium purely because he was 8 at the time

Trini having a massive collection of weird/creepy dolls was an excellent character choice and we love her for it

Jason has the best arse on the team

Jason David Frank was clearly loving hamming it up as the evil ranger and was absolutely chewing the scenery of every shot he was in

The Dragon Dagger controlling the Dragon Zord via playing it like a flute through a closed helmet with the flute making trumpet noises when played? Perfectly logical and we wouldn't have it any other way

Tommy getting put into time out for toying with Jason instead of killing him by Rita was great, he is just in magic space prison beating up the air because "mother, I crave violence!!!"

We need to see more Zack teaching Alpha how to dance. We need to see that little robot bust the sickest moves

Bulk and Skull bring it on themselves so much, but I honestly felt sorry for them given how much they ate shit. And they must owe Ernie hundreds of dollars in lost cakes due to the amount of times Bulk lands face first into them

Also, shout out to Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy for all the physical comedic acting they did as Bulk and Skull, masterful pratfalls from those two

The weird juxtaposition of the Japanese footage being worse quality due to it being older, but the costumes were of way higher budget Vs the American footage being much crisper, but that only showing the lack of budget even more (Tommy's shoulder armour being made out of what looks like quilt spay painted gold in the American footage??)

The Putties sound like Dr. Zoidberg
