Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2010 Remastered Thoughts

Surely everyone is familiar with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a TV show from the 90s that has gone on to become a cult classic and milestone in American television. Though the show was made off of stock footage from the Japanese show, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, it was an obsession of many children of the time, including myself. I love this show, and think it is one of the greatest inspirations for many of my stories, but many people had asked me what my thoughts are on the 2010 reedit. Well, all I can say is that it’s alright, but it is surely not needed.

I mean, come on, who needs this stupid comic book appeal. The show was fine just the way it was. Surely they could have cleared it up a bit and made the sound better than it was before, but was there any reason why they had to give it this stupid, useless, comic book imagery. It makes the show look campy, childish, and worse than it was before. It also ticks me off that they have little slides telling us what the zords are (when the Mastodon appears, a yellow slide appears saying “Mastodon). Do we need to be told what they are, come on. Every Power Rangers fan knows that the zords are. No, I know that it is supposed to expand the show to a wider audience, but I think that it’s just dumbing it down.

Despite all that, it is truly magnificent. Seeing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on television again is something I’d thought I’d never see. It is good to watch this show and flashback to watching it in your youth. The nostalgia is so strong, it burns. Literally, it burns. But it is so good to see the first and the BEST Power Rangers show once more. But the comic book effects and the girly borders and stuff are unneeded. Other than that, it’s awesome.
