#Power Rangers Zeo

[kamencozmos]

Another year passes, and the sentiment still rings true.

Exactly one year ago today, we lost Jason David Frank. Of all celebrity deaths in the past few years, his hit me the hardest. JDF was not just the star of Power Rangers, but a member martial arts hall of fame, and a man I admired deeply since childhood. Even now, it’s hard to accept that he’s gone.

Rest in Peace Tommy. Wherever you are, may the power protect you. ⚡️🕯️

30 Years of Power Rangers (973 Eps)

i AM the #1 green ranger defender and no one can say otherwise

Me: Why do you think that they give all the female power rangers skirts? I mean, they are short enough to fight in, but I feel like it’s a weird way to indicate that someone is female. Especially since in earlier versions of power rangers, ranger yellow was often portrayed as a guy in the original version but the US typically wanted at least two female leads so the yellow ranger would be played by a girl in her civilian form and a man in her ranger form and no one really mentions it?

Like, I’ve been exploring a lot of the power rangers fandom while rewatching the shows and I don’t see it mentioned?

Which means that fans of these versions don’t care about whether or not the girl power ranger had a skirt and can easily recognize a power ranger as a girl even if she doesn’t have boobs or a skirt in her ranger form.

Furthermore, that means that the whole concept for having the leading ladies have a skirt on their uniform kind of weird? Especially because, while obviously not getting in the way, is still inconvenient and just an extra bit of fabric for the enemy to grab onto.

Plus, it usually breaks up the design of the power ranger suit and it doesn’t always look good and it would be better and probably more convenient to have them be similar designs all around. I mean, keep space for their different body types, but you don’t need a skirt to tell your audience who is male or female. You already have heavy color association with your characters and have them where the same color as their suits on the daily. Give your audience some credit.

Idk, even as a kid I thought it was weird.

What do you think?

Stranger who’s house I broke into so I could info dump:

Stranger: Yeah, that is weird.

Me: Thank you!

Happy 50th JDF

I made this after he passed, I know it's not really a birthday kind of drawing but it helps me remember him all the same...

More General Rangers Headcanons

Sixth Rangers are inherently more powerful than the regular Rangers. You'll notice that most can 1v1 difficult enemies that prove challenging to even the Reds of the team (ie.: Zhane (In Space Silver) 1v1'ing Ecliptor). This is because, on a power scale, the Sixth is supposed to balance the team out. A team that can work as individuals and an individual that can work on/with a team

Reds develop an attachment to their Sixth Rangers, be it romantic (Carter Grayson/Ryan Mitchell) or platonic (Leo and Mike Corbett), but it's close and quickly formed

Similarly, Sixth Rangers form quick and close attachments to their Reds, platonic or romantic

Pinks and Blues are either siblings or best friends and there is no in-between

Survivor's Guilt is a powerful force and 90% of the Rangers have it, especially the alien Rangers or those like the Lunar Wolf Wildforce Ranger

Rangers getting discouraged and believing themselves unworthy of the Power is also common, so there's a network of Rangers you can call to help with that kind of stuff

If you don't already have fantastic spatial awareness, you develop it pretty quick as a Ranger. It's damn near impossible not to because of all the attacks by Monsters, Bugs, etc

Red Rangers can give orders to their teams and the Power will give little pushes for the other Rangers to following it, but that doesn't mean the other Rangers can't refuse of their own volition

The Morphin' Grid affords its Rangers a form of immortality. They can be fatally injured, but otherwise, Rangers are effectively immortal

Some Rangers go on to become police officers, but most Rangers agree that working to assist and help people (ie.: lifeguards, doctors, breaking ground in the science fields) is best. Some of them establish dojos to train people to protect themselves (Tommy Oliver) and others work with volunteer efforts (Troy Burrows)

Veteran Rangers, Reds especially, tend to hang back during crossover events- this is to give the new Reds the confidence in themselves and their abilities, and allow them to grow into their leadership. The only exception was Forever Red, because Jason is a little bit of a control freak. He's the oldest Red, it's his right

When a Ranger is in a battle that forces them into demorph (i.e.: Gia, Jake, and Noah (Megaforce) against Creepox) the other teammates will be supremely worried and clingy, this is because of a trauma bond each team shares, but also because seeing someone you love get so hurt in a battle that they lose their ability to hold their morphs is fucking terrifying.

On that note, other Ranger teams will check in after those battles because seeing your successors get demorphed in the middle of battle is also something terrifying

Also on that note, some Rangers have specific nightmares in which they don't make it out of those demorph fights alive

The TMNT do on occasion pop out of the New York sewers to assist in a battle or two with the Ranger teams

Rangers who have martial arts skills (Ninja Storm, Jungle Fury, Samurai, Ninja Steel, etc) stick together, much like Rangers who are from or went to space

The techs of the teams have secret channels that they use to make "communication devices" (cell phones) so that Rangers don't have to rely on their morphers to communicate as well as being able to communicate with other Rangers and teams

Bulk and Skull have been linked so tightly with the Rangers that they've been kidnapped several times, only to be let go when it's been clear they aren't Rangers themselves

Junior Rangers have a chat, kids that helped Rangers (Heather, Jordon, etc.) have linked up and compared notes. They know of or know each other and most of them are tightly linked together

Possibility of more later, I didn't expect more than one post lol

I've been meaning to make this post for a while

So Power Rangers has 30 years of lore and stuff packed into it and this made me analyze a few things pertaining to the ranger powers.

See every team is different in the sense that their abilities can be labeled into various categories, like some characters using mystical energy or technology but there's a bit more to it. Tokusatsu has a full list of different power sources and it made me think a bit here, btw this is just in a general sense when it comes to ranger powers and not fully the individual ones each of the teams have.

Basically I decided to place them in depending on the themes and overall potential of their powers.

Each team is covered under one of the following five, Technological, Elemental, Spatial/Temporal, Spiritual and Magical

1.)Technlogical powers such as RPM, SPD mainly rely on the usage of advancements and mechanical assets to their abilities. Though however capability wise it's reach stagnates as the tools and powers depend on how advanced the tech is(like if you have futuristic stuff that can access universal energy, can be on par with some top players in the PR multiverse)

2.)Elemental, like in Samurai, Lost Galaxy and Ninja Storm specific rangers in this category can manipulate or even conjure specific aspects of nature at their disposal. In my mind however the capabilities can also be somewhat limitless as the specific way elements are applied factor in( like if fire is associated either creation and light, being able to make life or even spark heat in the universe)

3.) Spatial and Temporal, specifically relating to teams like Time Force. These powers mainly orient around the control of dimensional or time like aspects, from freezing and speeding time, controlling dimensions like the Triassic Dimension with Conner in DT, or just anything you can think of there. This one is definitely up there because there isn't really a limit, I mean Conner controls reality with the triassic shield and time manipulation is already busted. Time Force rangers are a problem in fight match-ups.

4.)Spiritual, my favorite btw. Connects mainly between Wild Force, Jungle Fury and probably Zeo. Spiritual powers such as aura projection like utilizing animal spirits or having abilities attuned to one's soul are a few ways of using this, however depending on the person and overall situations the spirit can do a lot more. Say releasing your inner might and having a strong willpower may result in your abilities being able to transcend beyond most things(think a bit like HXH with Nen or JJK's cursed energy). Like the phoenix with Camille, if she developed it more then the power to revive or even give life would be broken as hell.

5.) Finally we have Magical, hello Mystic Force. Magic in general is just busted, applications all around depends on what type you're using and there are three main sources, Good, Dark and Neutral. In the show the rangers were given magic from the townspeople due to their beliefs within it as well. This basically cements that as long as you believe in magic then you have an endless source of it...which is just overall crazy and places this high on the list as well.

Now I can't really choose which powers would rank over each other as all of them could overpower the other depending on who uses it but this was nice to analyze. I'd love a full on special with the seasons fighting each other or being able to full amplify their capabilites to see what chaos ensues. Wonder what you guys think?

'A DRIVE DOWN MEMORY LANE'

gif belongs to me

You were smiling as you talked to Kat and Tanya, making plans to go to the mall when Tommy felt it. The feelings he had tried to dismiss and write off. The Zeo Rangers were locked in a battle against Queen Machina, and when they finally had time to themselves, college classes and assignments took up their time. As you turned your head to glance back at him, Tommy felt as if he hadn't seen you properly for months and it felt like a punch to the gut when he realized how much distance there was between you.

At the end of your senior year, you both promised to handle life together, to not get thrown aside as you adjusted to life as a Freshman, but life kept pulling you both in opposite directions and Tommy was determined to change that.

There had been many nights, many weekends when you had hopped in his truck and let the road lead the way. The destination never mattered it was being with each other that counted, and you had many polaroids, many videos of these moments when you escaped together. Tommy felt the urge to hit the road and take a trip down memory lane.

You filled a picnic basket and hit the road, excited to finally have time alone. You had known Tommy for a few months before you started dating. You shared classes, frequently said hello in the hallways of high school and he would sometimes join your table at the library when he wanted to catch up on schoolwork. When he lost the powers of the Green Ranger due to Rita's candle you knew something was wrong, but at that time, you didn't know about his secret identity. Still, you comforted him, reassured him, and gave him hope that whatever he had lost, he would find again.

When he became the White Ranger the bounce returned to his step and he worked up the courage to ask you out on a date. You would find out about his secret identity a few weeks later when he was ambushed while you were walking in the park and when it was over Tommy ensured you weren't harmed before revealing that he was the White Power Ranger.

Your relationship only grew stronger since then and when he became the Red Ranger, you were there to ease his doubts about leading the team. Many people over the years commented on how supportive you were of each other and Tommy accredited your support to the success of your relationship. You had seen couples you had gone to high school with last a week, some months, and some had broken up due to the pressures of college. Tommy refused to let you become one of those couples. And right now Tommy felt as if it was slipping through his fingers. He was determined to fix it.

You looked over at the Red Ranger as he drove, the window blowing your hair, and you smiled at the sight of him driving, arm resting on the open window.

Noticing your stare, Tommy glanced away from the road, "What?"

"Just enjoying the view."

Tommy chuckled, shaking his head. "The view is pretty amazing."

You smiled when he reached over to hold your left hand, covering your joined hands with your right hand.

Although you would never mention it, you started to feel the void in your life due to how little you saw your boyfriend. You felt as if high school was an easier period in your relationship as you frequently shared classes, and saw each other around the hallways, but on a college campus your paths rarely crossed unless you sought each other out, and between his duty as the Red Ranger and class assignments, those moments became rarer and rarer.

When he pitched the idea to hit the open road just like old times, you immediately agreed and prayed that he didn't have to rush off and fight against the Machine Empire. And after two hours on the road, you were starting to feel hopeful that maybe, just maybe someone was listening.

You swapped stories about your classes and when you stated that you felt as if you were snowed under assignments, and worried about failing classes, Tommy reassured you that after pushing a Putty into a lake you could overcome anything life threw at you. You laughed as you recalled your date that ended in disaster. You had noticed a Putty trying to gain the upper hand on your boyfriend and put the picnic blanket over its head and pushed it into the lake, granting Tommy time to take out the others.

Tommy parked on the edge of a mountain, overlooking the small town, lit by streetlights and lights shining out of windows. You turned your head when he placed his arm around your shoulders and you smiled softly when he angled his body towards you, giving you his full attention.

"You know, this feels familiar."

"Really?" He asked as his fingers swayed back and forth over your shoulder.

You hummed, turning your body towards his while placing a hand on his chest. You toyed with his white t-shirt underneath the red button-up he wore and Tommy smiled when he saw the smile on your lips.

"You had your hand on my waist," You paused when he moved a hand to your waist, bringing you closer.

"Like this?"

You nodded slowly, causing your noses to brush, "and my hand was on your cheek." You placed a hand on his cheek, swiping your thumb back and forth, eyelashes fluttering as you tilted your head upward as he bowed his head a little.

"I think I'm starting to remember..." He whispered, his lips grazing yours.

You closed your eyes when his hand rose from your waist to cup your cheek, kissing you tenderly in the beginning before becoming more passionate. When you pulled away, he leaned in, planting three lingering kisses on your lips, before pulling back to meet your gaze.

His thumb moved back and forth along your jaw as he held your gaze and you smiled softly as you ran your hand down his chest.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking that it feels like I haven't seen you for years. But mostly I'm enjoying the view."

You shook your head softly, a giggle leaving your lips when he smiled toothily, and tugged on his shirt, bringing him closer as you leaned in to reignite your kiss.

When you return to college, you put more effort into making time for each other. To be alone without your friends and it became a routine to hit the road on the weekends to escape together. And while there were times when he had to rush off to lead his team, Tommy always kissed your cheek before he left and when it was over, he would return to you, picking up right where you left off.
