30 Years of Power!

[thesparkwhowalks]

I did something I never do and completely binged a TV season last night. It was Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury, it may well be the final season of the series (at least as we know it), and it was an awesome send-off. Much like Power Rangers RPM, the franchise goes its hardest when it's on the brink of cancellation. Spoilers can be found below the "Keep Reading".

Whiny bastards Some Fans labelled the series "woke" because of the female Red Ranger. Others for the lesbian power couple that is the Green and Orange Cosmic Fury Rangers. But boy, are they gonna be pissed about the villain.

The real villain of Cosmic Fury is capitalism. No, really, it's stated pretty unambiguously. The corporate CEO villain is eviler than Lord Zedd, the goddamn Emperor of Evil. Bajillia Naire, CEO of Squid Ink Inc., frees Lord Zedd from his imprisonment specifically to trick his ass into capturing the Morphing Masters and absorbing their powers. She then traps him in a tube that she plans to blow up and create an evil energy wave that will wipe out good in the universe.

Her reason for that? In a universe ruled by evil, there will be constant war and her weapons business will do really well. It will also remove worker protections (which she says, in those words), allowing her to further exploit her already exploited workforce. At one point, the Blue Ranger (brainwashed and evil) remarks:

"Nice? That doesn't sound like CEO behavior."

It's fucking wild.

Happy 30th to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! I grew up watching and you helped shapy me into who I am today, amd I couldn't be more grateful! I still love the series so much, thank you for everything you've done!

Drawn in clip studio, took several weeks, I wanna say around 80ish hours I think? SUPER happy with how it turned out!

Okay are there any other sites to find power rangers fics (particularly adult themed ones) that aren’t just on AO3 or Fanfic.net? Cause I think I’ve exhausted most of my options at the moment. I found a site or two, but it’s kinda hard to find random sites for older fanfiction. It’s nice the PR has been around so long though, there are a lot of options!

Happy 30th anniversary to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers! Thirty years ago today, the Power Rangers franchise debuted in the United States and was an instant hit. The series was originally a Japanese one titled Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. All the footage of the Rangers in their armor, along with any shots of the Zords, battles (yep they used actual cardboard building props for those scenes), and villains is from the original Japanese series (any "monsters" received an English dub). The series was so popular here in the U.S. that Japan began showing it there - with subtitles! Yes, their original material was such a hit that the host country bought the rights to show it there!

Oh, and fun fact - ever notice how only the Pink Ranger has a skirt on her armor? That's because in the original Japanese version, there is only one girl Ranger - the pink one. The Yellow Ranger was a male in the original version, which is why there is no skirt with the armor.

Another fun fact - the Command Center? It's a real place! It's called House of the Book and is located on the American Jewish University's Brandeis-Bardin Campus in Simi Valley, California. So the exterior shots of the Command Center are of an actual building. How cool is that?!

To commemorate this milestone, I dug out some of my most valued possessions. I've had these three dolls since the series was still live on TV. They were literally made for girls, as depicted on their boxes (and only the girls were made, not the guys). These fashion dolls are about the size of a Skipper doll now, and each one came with her respective uniform and a blasting gun, as well as an extra set of clothes for school/everyday wear. All three girls were made - Kimberly, Trini, and Aisha. I was fortunate enough to get Trini before she was replaced by Aisha in the series. RIP to Trini's actress, Thuy Trang, who was sadly killed in a car accident in 2001. (And also RIP to our beloved Green/White Ranger, Jason David Frank, who died just last year).

So I dug the three of them out and got some photos. Kimberly and Trini will remain in their uniforms because it is very difficult to get those boots and gloves back on once they've been taken off. I opted to leave Aisha in her school clothes since there are two Yellow Rangers. Here they are in all their glory! Go, go, Power Rangers!

Kimberly & Trini:

Yes, the helmets are only hollow shells that cover the faces LOL. Hey, it was 1993! The details are still great, though! These days you'd probably get uniforms with the details stickered on...

In the Command Center, without helmets:

Checking out the Viewing Globe - have to keep Angel Grove safe!

And last but not least, Aisha, the successor of Trini!
