Yea it's an Indiegogo campaign they did. I supported it cause I wanted to see all these actors together in something fun. Got to hang out with a bunch of them at the Power Morphicon convention last August in support of this project.

Oh you went to PMC? I've been to like three of them now.

They need to stop bringing up Jason, Trini and Zack. It hurts. T_T

Man, I loved MMRP as a 7 year old kid. Every Saturday morning was basically a religious ceremony - Power Rangers followed by The Silver Brumby and then meeting with friends to go through the episodes in complete detail.

I mean sure, looking at the stream I can objectively see it for the awful cheese it is now but I completely get why I loved it as a kid. The effects hold up surprisingly well, honestly. Goes to show how long practical effects last.

But I honestly don't know any of this current plot. My country only showed the series with Rita Repulsa. I remember an episode where she said "That's it! No more monsters!" I was like "WHAT?! She isn't going to use MONSTERS? I can't wait to see how she'll attack the Rangers then!" We had a ton of theories, the most popular being that she will attack them herself! Boy, the hype was ON. Then came next Saturday morning and... nothing. No more MMPR on TV. Just like that. Replaced by Sesame Street. Man, I cried so hard it's not even funny.

So I have no idea why Tommy is in a completely different white suit instead of green and what those new zords are. I also don't know who this new bad guy is. Watching this is basically both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. I wish I could sit my 7 year old self next to me and show him this. He would be jumping on the couch for the whole duration.

Wow, that's really strange, MMPR being replaced by Sesame Street.

Basically after Rita failed in S1 Lord Zedd, the emperor evil came down from ... wherever (alternate dimension) and sealed her away and took the place as the main new antagonist.

He upgraded the Putty Patrol with Zedd power, gave Goldar back his wings, and trashed the original Zords. Zordon upgraded them with "Thunderzord" power to combat the stronger monsters that Zedd puts out.

Tommy lost his Green Ranger powers in S1 after Rita took them away but came back in S2 after ... something that led Zordon to make Tommy the leader because FUCK YEAH TOMMY

OH SHIT NINJA RANGERS HYPE
