We spoke to legendary theme song composer Ron Wasserman (fishertheband) about how his work reflects the darker, more mature tone of Netflix’s MightyMorphinPowerRangers reunion, OnceAndAlways:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always is set to drop on Netflix just in time for the 30th anniversary of the beloved 1990s series. The film not only brings back iconic Power Rangers characters like Rita Repulsa, but even features the return of two original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers actors. Billy and Zack, the Blue and Black Rangers from the original series, are back, played by original actors David Yost and Walter Jones, respectively.
Coming back to this would have been weird had it been in the same style of storytelling that the original series was, but this is a more complicated movie-like episode, [or] short movie. It kind of felt like an entirely new thing that just happened to have the Power Rangers in it, so it didn't feel strange at all. Ron Wasserman: Although the current audience and kids could still watch it, it's a much deeper, more dramatic story. It was pretty easy to walk that fine line.
Everything I scored around it was more mature. There's a lot of orchestral stuff in this that wasn't ever in the original, and when the rock stuff kicks in, that's pretty much the same. It's just high-speed metal, which is the most fun to do. To hit all that stuff, it's the most difficult to do, but I love it. Ron Wasserman: Yeah, and then there's a lot of twists and turns, so [I'm] backing right out of a rock groove and going into an orchestral part of a score.
Not only are a lot of characters coming back, but you also have some of the actors coming back in David Yost and Walter Jones. Did you have themes that you got to revisit for their characters?
