Power Rangers

These animated Power Rangers shorts need to become a series

If ever there were evidence that Power Rangers would work well as an animated series, this is it. Animator Mike McCraw pits the Black Ranger and the Pink Ranger against the sticky forces of the Putty Patrol, and they look fantastic doing it. Although I still have great affection for the Dinozords from Mighty Morphin…

Dress up as your favorite Power Ranger with custom-made hoodies

Once upon a time, my brother and I entered a Power Rangers/VR Troopers trivia contest on Prodigy. TV junkies that we were, we handily answered all the questions, but, sadly, when our names came up in the drawing, we received the inferior VR Troopers action figures instead of the much cooler, dino-centric Power Rangers dolls.…

A battle with every Power Ranger in existence going absolutely bonkers en masse

In this scene from the Japanese tokusatsu show Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (which premiered last month in Japan), a battle erupts between some bad guys and what appears to be every Super Sentai (a.k.a. “Power Rangers” stateside) hero ever created. Somewhere deep within your subconscious, your inner child’s head has exploded into a million candy-colored pieces.…

New Power Rangers are no longer color-coded according to their race. Yay!

The Power Rangers are coming back for their 19th (!) season, and the good news is their suits no longer color-coded according to their ethnicity. (Watch this amazing College Humor video for more on how that came about originally.) Writes Matt Kiebus over at Death and Taxes: Nearly 15 years since my exposure to the…

Megazords Of My Youth: How Power Rangers toys made me a science fiction fan

I have a terrible confession to make – I watched Power Rangers for a long, long time, well past the age when I knew better. Why couldn’t I quit this obviously terrible show? The toys were just too damn cool. Welcome to a new feature I’m calling “The Marvelous Little Toy”, a tribute to the…

16 Years Later, The Power Rangers Retire

It’s been a long road for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. And last week Zordon finally decided that the Rangers were through, forever. The Power Rangers ended their series with the 700th episode. We’ll miss Billy and his overalls most. Last weekend after 700 episodes and 17 seasons, the long-running Power Ranger series came to…

Is Sci-Fi TV Too Scary For British Kids?

Is Doctor Who too scary for kids? That’s the claim that one survey seems to be making, pointing out that British parents feel that the show should be broadcast later to avoid giving kids nightmares. The survey of 3000 UK parents, carried out by website TheBabyWebsite.com, happily blamed television for children’s bad dreams: All children…

The Japanese Giant Robot Show to End All Giant Robot Shows

If you thought that Voltron or Power Rangers was entertaining, wait until you see Engine Oh G12. Its robot is assembled from twelve different vehicles, including a shark car. What’s so wonderful about Engine Oh G12 is that it’s literally ballooned the genre beyond parody. The show has upped the ante of the giant vehicle-assembled…

Scifi PSAs: Because Knowing Is Half The Battle

G.I. Joe’s Recondo teaches that the more you know, the less likely you are to hide in a fridge. Thanks, Recondo! Although honestly, it is a pretty great hiding place.

Scifi Cars That Are Smarter Than KITT

The two smartest cars in the universe get chained up and whipped, until they escape using their super lasers, in this scene from Power Rangers In Space. With Knight Rider zooming back onto our screens this weekend, everybody’s acting as though KITT invented the super-smart car. But cars with a mind of their own have…

World’s Largest Digger: Digs, Potentially Destroys World

Built in 1978 by German steel company Krupp, this giant trencher “Bagger 288” was designed for open mining trenching. Sure, its real functionality is absolutely not interesting at all, but that giant saw will give the Megazord a run for his money when I go crazy and destroy the Power Rangers once and for all!…
