As of late on X, Power Rangers has been trending and people are talking about Power Rangers from the shows to the movies to the future adaptation suits. I love it. I love seeing all the positive tweets about it so I figured I would jump in and give my top 5 series of my childhood.
I absolutely loved Power Rangers growing up and I still do. Although I haven’t watched as religiously as I did when I was young, I still keep up to date with the story, series, and more. The Boom Studios comic books are so much more interesting.
5. Mighty Morphin
I know, I know. A controversial spot for Mighty Morphin and typically many would agree, but for me, this is a perfect spot. This was my introduction to the universe that is Power Rangers, I loved the characters and loved the new characters that later replaced the OG Rangers. The show was great although it was very cringe.
4. Ninja Storm
Ninja Storm. One of the very best openings to a Power Rangers series there has been. I loved the style of the show, the tone of the show was very unique. The characters were all different and yet all had a sport to tell them apart. It wasn’t mainstream sport either, it was dirt biking, surfing, and skateboarding. The Megazord was so good as well.
3. Dino Thunder
Dino Thunder came out swinging. One of the first shows that gave the Rangers powers in their unmorphed forms. Not to mention, this was the series that delivered the late, great Jason David Frank as the Black Dino Ranger. The white Ranger was a true menace too.
2. In Space
In Space was fantastic from start to finish. The series delivered some fantastic characters, albeit from a previous season or two but still delivered each character some monumental development which was perfect. The villain was fantastic and still is one of the very best. The Psycho Rangers were menaces too.
1. Time Force
The GOAT of Power Rangers, delivering some powerful emotion throughout the entire season. I still remember seeing the first episode and seeing a Red Ranger actually “die” in combat. It delivered an opening so good that it honestly left a young me mindblown.
Don’t get me wrong, seasons like Lost Galaxy and SPD were great too, but deep down, this is the top 5 of my childhood. I remember getting all the toys, it was incredible.
