Netflix's 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always' doesn’t seem to know how to honor the legacy of the series. Our review:
When it comes to the Power Rangers franchise, we have to admit that the TV series isn’t exactly known for its intricate plot or stellar performances. That’s perfectly acceptable when you consider that the show’s target audience is kids and pre-teens. However, as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always leans heavily on nostalgia to draw fully-grown viewers in, you’d think they would at least amp up the special’s elements for the adult fans. You’d be wrong.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It’s not that Power Rangers: Once & Always isn’t aware of the older audiences. The special does try to put some serious themes up for discussion, especially when it comes to the death of the Yellow Ranger during a mission.
Speaking of Lost Galaxy, Power Rangers: Once & Always also doesn’t seem to know how to honor the legacy of the series. The special decides to tell a story that involves every Power Ranger ever, which is pretty ambitious and suggests the story will play out along the lines of the iconic episode “Forever Red.” The thing is… the special brings none of the dozens of Rangers back except the original five into the mix.
Power Rangers: Once & Always is able to deliver fun moments when it doesn’t care about being silly. Rita transforming Rangers into models that are clearly action figures? Sure. Megazords fighting in space to the blast of overwhelming explosions that echo through the void? Why not! The only bad thing is that the special doesn’t go full camp as often as it could, and ends up feeling like a lackluster yet extended regular season episode.
