we just gotta hope for the best
to the future
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our pits for the top 10
power rangers moments that have aged
badly
[Music]
you attach bombs to every single sting
winger
exactly
for this list we'll be looking at the
moments within the franchise that became
funny awkward or just plain depressing
to look back on what past moment made
the rangers look the worst let us know
in the comments listen
we used to be afraid of you but now
you've turned into an intergalactic joke
number 10 rocky's departure turbo a
power rangers movie and power rangers
turbo hey look man you should know that
i'm your friend and uh i'm just glad i'm
on your team
[Music]
i mean hey you know you can't save the
world without working together right
although rocky was insecure about his
place on the team when the ranger he
replaced returned he was reassured that
he was a vital part of the team but that
went out the window during turbo a power
rangers movie while rocky is training
for a karate tournament near the
beginning of the film he messes up a
karate move so badly that he ends up
hurting his back
oh my back
can we get some help the incredibly
ridiculous and cringy scene gets worse
when the much younger justin takes over
as the blue ranger although rocky didn't
mind retiring later on the timing
couldn't have been worse after the poor
guy questioned if his team wanted him he
got kicked to the curb in favor of a
preteen newbie
i don't know i think the power's in good
hands right rock but remember you'll
always be a power ranger in spirit
that's nice number nine tommy oliver
zabon's power rangers
tommy oliver
tommy oliver don't you just hate when
sequel baiting doesn't follow through
during a mid-credit scene for lion
gate's 2017 power rangers movie we got a
small hint at a big franchise
development apparently green ranger
tommy oliver would appear in the next
movie the character became legendary for
starting off as evil before becoming a
powerful ally and legendary ranger
you know what to do
your wish is my command empress fans
started getting excited about aspects
like who they would cast or if tommy's
gender would change
unfortunately any hopes for a sequel
were dashed thanks to the commercial
failure and lackluster critical
reception of the first film re-watching
this easter egg scene today feels
completely pointless thanks to the
studio's overconfidence we're still
wondering what a female tommy oliver
would be like
time to meet the green ranger
wrong with empress rita
number eight mentor g
power ranger samurai and power rangers
super samurai there is more to being a
power ranger
than mastering a sword
you must also learn to use your
inherited samurai symbols
let's be honest mentor g was never the
best ranger mentor he was abrasive
showed clear favoritism to red ranger
jaden and was quick to disregard anyone
who wasn't up to his standards right
no
i'm afraid it's simply not possible no
but at least his worst qualities were
better than the man who played him actor
renee nefahoo was placed under house
arrest for a year after pleading guilty
to six charges of indecent assault mr
nofahu you're sentenced to
one year that is 12 months home
detention he was said to have committed
these crimes during what were supposed
to be private acting lessons with
several women this makes watching him
try to act as a mentor to a team of
people a whole lot more uncomfortable
than it ever was before
number 7 rita's baby rant mighty morphin
power rangers and power rangers
operation overdrive
what kind of addition why a baby what
you know our own little bundle of evil
one that will have your incredible looks
and my brain
almost immediately after they tie the
knot lord zedd proposes to rita repulsa
the idea of having a baby hilariously
rita is disgusted by the idea and
absolutely refuses but her stance oddly
seemed to change over a decade later
during the operation overdrive season we
meet thorax the so-called son of rita
and zedd
and the orchestrator of your doom
his existence seems a little contrived
because it's hard to tell when he could
have even been born but more importantly
it makes rita's outrage about children
more bizarre to look back at in
hindsight what made the evil ruler
drastically change her mind about
parenting only she and zed know for sure
excuse me
i'll be right back
sweetheart
that wasn't quite the reaction i
expected number six the cgi zords mighty
morphin power rangers the movie
[Music]
while the acting and some action scenes
from this event film hold up there are
parts of the 1995 movie that haven't
aged well arguably the biggest offender
is the ninja zords in the tv series
these machines were usually actors in
suits or prop models however the zords
in the movie were almost completely made
with 90 cgi and it really shows
bad moves sparky you play with fire
you're gonna get burned
[Music]
the big bots barely look like their
series counterparts it definitely
doesn't help that the poor rendering
makes them all look overly shiny and
cheap at one point they even forget what
color the yellow bear zord is supposed
to be while we understand cgi technology
has evolved since then we still can't
help but laugh at these poor excuses for
zords coming up so you want to play huh
[Music]
number five shane's haunting images
power rangers ninja storm guys
be strong listen to sensei remember you
have nothing to fear but fear itself pua
magasiva let the ninja storm rangers as
the charismatic and noble shame while he
was constantly a beam of light on the
show his real life took a dark turn
after magosieva faced charges for
assaulting his wife he took his own life
there was an alleged diary left behind
full of dark thoughts where he said
harsh things about himself knowing what
happened to him makes one episode
particularly hard to view
during the fight in the eye of the storm
episode shane is trapped in a
hallucination inside this twisted vision
the actor's real-life brother tells him
he's a letdown to the family the
parallels between this scene and
real-life events are absolutely painful
to revisit
i
am
[Music]
number four the zeo finale power ranger
zeo
so what's the plan now
well one thing's for sure a lot more
free time on my hands the season finale
for zeo opened up plenty of interesting
opportunities for future series plot
lines while balkan skull left lieutenant
stone for a new detective job in france
rita and zed were considering getting
back in the villainy business after
blowing up the machine empire
i bet young sprocket really gets a bang
out of his presents
but what did big moments like this lead
to absolutely
nothing neither of these promises came
true in the turbo movie instead bulk and
skull go back to working for stone while
rita and zed decide to just retire and
not even try to go after the rangers
again we understand the film didn't have
time to follow up on every beat however
it could have at least tried to be
consistent with the story that was
already set up how do i get rid of the
power rangers what
the power rangers
if i knew that do you think i'd be lying
here listening to this
number three ricardo medina jr as decker
power ranger samurai and power rangers
super samurai
so
we finally meet
master org
you're the one responsible for all this
destruction fans were pleasantly
surprised to see ricardo medina jr
returned to the series as a new
character named decker after he played
red wild force ranger cole he did a
great job playing a cursed swordsman who
initially clashed with the heroes
unfortunately seeing ricardo with that
sharp weapon nowadays becomes painful to
watch after you know what happened in
real life the former tv star of the
power rangers superhero series in court
facing his fate in a sentencing hearing
in 2015 medina jr was arrested for
fatally stabbing his roommate with a
sword knowing that he committed such a
dark crime is uncomfortable to think
about every time we see him fight with a
sword on tv we're constantly reminded of
the gruesome tragedy when it was all
said and done the judge threw the book
at the former power ranger star number
two drakina's invasion power rangers
lost galaxy what is it this time filter
a monster that blows itself up long ago
lords had made a joke about finster
having a monster that blows itself up
when he became frustrated with how
finster's monsters always fail him
unfortunately that joke ended up aging
poorly when lost galaxy made the concept
real the twisted drakeena decides to
attack terra venture by strapping bombs
to her stingwinger foot soldiers you've
attached bombs to every single sting
winger
they'll destroy everything they get near
they go on to destroy various structures
and even attempt to take out their
rangers with their explosives while the
real-life parallels were bad when the
episode aired this storyline got much
worse after 2001. the unfortunate
comparison to real-life events makes
this finale absurdly shocking today it's
no wonder one of drakina's soldiers
called her out for this plan
this is a disgrace
drakina is destroying her whole army

number one the time capsule wishes
mighty morphin power rangers you know
i hope that the people who open this
time capsule in the future
live in a peaceful and friendly world
while a time capsule is being buried
rangers think about what the future will
be like in a hundred years they all wish
for a world without war crime or
prejudice the red ranger insists hope
and cooperation might be enough to make
the vision come true by the time the
capsule is opened while this overly
sentimental scene was a nice thought the
world's definitely struggled to meet
those goals since the episode aired
to the future
but the hardest part of the dialogue
centered around billy's wish for no more
prejudice the actor has gone on record
to say he received discrimination behind
the scenes of the show because of his
sexuality
basically i just felt like i was
continually being told i'm not worthy of
where i am because i'm quote-unquote a
gay person and i'm not supposed to be an
actor and you can't be a superhero while
we knew some ranger wishes were
far-fetched it's disappointing to hear
one ranger's hopes were continually dash
that's kind of been that but you know i
will say that having a nervous breakdown
is probably
one of the most terrific things that
i've ever had and it's something i will
never forget
and it frustrates me that i hated myself
on such a level
that i couldn't
accept myself
