This episode: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
♪ (metal music) ♪
- Ah! - What the...?
10,00 years, I'm free!
- It's time to conquer Earth! - This looks more old fashioned
Alpha, Rita's escaped!
- Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude. - What movie is this?
Power Rangers! But very old.
♪ (metal music) ♪
It's Power Rangers.
Go, go, Power Rangers!
The music is kinda catchy.
Go, go, Power Rangers!
Oh, the Yellow Ranger. Oh, that's racist!
What the--? What the what?
That looks so cheesy.
I like the silver one.
Where's the silver one?!
The old ones are--(sighs) They're so good!
- Go, go, Power Rangers! - Is this Jungle Power Rangers?
These are new actors. Where's the old actors?
Go, go, Power Rangers!
Very old.
They look like Transformers.
My childhood. Kinda. (laughs)
Is that the first series or what?
Love that one!
So good!
Question time!
(Finebros) So what show was that?
Power Rangers.
Go, go, Power Rangers!
(Finebros) Is this the same Power Rangers that you're familiar with?
No.
No, it doesn't look the same.
No, it isn't!
No. Not at all.
It looks a lot different, and I don't even watch the show.
(Finebros) What's different about those Power Rangers
compared to today's Power Rangers?
Well...the graphics are different.
Different villains, different people playing.
The fighting is way less real.
It looks so cheesy.
They didn't put as much effort and money into it.
A lot of stuff, but I don't want to be judgemental.
(Finebros) Had you ever seen this old version before?
No.
No, I don't think so.
Never in my life.
I don't think so. It looks like the '90s.
Yes, I've seen it a lot.
I think I actually have that one on DVD.
I think I actually did. When I was little.
When I used to be obsessed with Power Rangers.
(Finebros) Did you know there was older versions of Power Rangers?
Really?
No.
Yeah.
Yes, I've heard that there was many, many, many, many versions.
Yup, a lot of them.
(Finebros) Did you know that Power Rangers is over 20 years old?
What?!
What the--?
(Finebros) We were about your age when this came out.
(stunned silence)
Did you guys watch it when you were little kids?
(Finebros) We did!
Let me get this straight.
YOU were kids when that thing came out.
That's weird!
I didn't know it was that old.
- I thought-- - (Rafi Fine) Well, thanks.
I'm sorry!
(Finebros) Do you like the Power Rangers?
Nope.
I'm gonna go with no.
Yeah, I had those action figures that everyone else had.
Yes! The weapons, they're oversized.
For some reason, oversized makes stuff cooler.
Well, it's exciting. All the action.
All the sparks and stuff.
(Finebros) Some people say Power Rangers is too violent
a show for kids. But you're a kid.
- Do you think that's true? - No!
It's not like serious damage, like chopping off heads.
It's a TV show! It looks so cheesy for goodness sake!
Seriously, parents!
Yeah. Too much kicking.
And then they'll make the kids get all hyper to fight
and break stuff, and then you'll get all grounded.
(Finebros) We have more to show you.
This is now a montage of them defeating monsters.
Oh my gosh! This is gonna be fun.
Mega Power Sword now!
(whooshing)
Oh yeah!
♪ (metal music) ♪
Exactly! Oversized swords. That's what makes it cool.
(together) NOW!
This is so cheesy! It hurts.
Oh my gosh. Okay, I think that's kinda violent.
Fire up the Mega Sword!
Again with the Mega Sword.
Very similar.
(battle cry)
What the heck?! That thing was ugly!
That freaks me out! It's really creepy.
Go, go, Power Rangers!
Same Thunder Cat sword.
- Sparkles! - (villain screams)
Sparkles, then you kill someone.
Don't show me another one.
Time we finished this dude!
- All right! - (together) Hiyah!
(laughs) They say it at the same exact time!
There it is again.
They do the same thing every single time.
(explosions)
How does it disappear like that?
- Let's get the job done! - Hiyah!
There it is again.
They do the same thing every single time!
Oh my god. They killed him.
The same thing was happening in different episodes!
Wouldn't you get bored?!
(Finebros) When you watch TV shows for kids, do you notice
- that a lot of the shows-- - Are the same thing.
(Finebros) You do notice?
Yeah.
Yeah, pretty much.
They think that kids won't remember what they're doing.
We're a whole lot smarter than that.
They do the same thing over and over again.
They act like it's the coolest thing in the world.
I realize it, and it gets annoying.
Yeah, like Phineas and Ferb. Doofenshmirtz trys to take over
the Tri-State area every day. While Phineas and Ferb start building
something, then it totally disappears, Candace gets mad and then it's done.
(Finebros) Why do you think they do sometimes make things for kids
that are very simple and repetitive?
So they don't have to put work into it. They don't have to work harder.
'Cause usually you don't pay attention that closely.
You just watch it to have entertainment.
I think they don't understand a child's brain.
Maybe they think that kids aren't that smart.
And I say no!
TRUTH!
(Finebros) So another thing that's interesting about Power Rangers
is that in Japan, there is a whole other television show
that is not the Power Rangers, but the footage that you saw
of the monsters and the big fights and everything,
- that all came from a Japanese show. - Really?!
(Finebros) They take that footage and put English over it,
and then they film the American actors for that part, but all the fighting
is from another show in Japan. What do you think about that,
that it's not all made in America and that half of it is
- from a different show? - But why?
Why can't they think of their own ideas?
Why would you do that, Power Rangers?!
That's actually pretty cool.
Pretty, pretty cool.
It's kinda cool how they add American television with Japanese.
I mean, it works. It works, all right?
It just works.
(Finebros) So why do you think the Power Rangers is such a popular show
for kids, that even 20 years ago kids liked it, and even kids
- today like it? - I dunno, but sometimes I watch
shows that are made horribly just to make me laugh.
Probably because the Power Rangers are like
(makes karate sound effects)
I just like doing karate chops.
There's new generations. New kids watch it,
and then they're like, "Oh, I love this show."
Maybe the boys like it because it's action, gun, dragons,
dinosaurs...and the girls like it because it's pink
and then they have girl fighters, finally.
It takes them to a different world. There are all these cool things
that would never happen, but could happen in the imagination.
