Power Rangers: RPM

You make lemonade and that's what this season is all about.

I have watched the Power Rangers since the start in The Netherlands and watched most of the seasons albeit not in their entirety. But I know what Power Rangers is about.

And somehow I was reading up on Power Rangers the last couple of days with the intention of watching one of the seasons I haven't watched yet. And I stumbled across R.P.M. with an extraordinary high rating, where the other seasons only score five plus ratings.

First of all what makes Power Rangers R.P.M. so great is that this season doesn't take it self to serious, they even make fun of their Zords, morphing sequences and spandex suits. Great way to break the fourth wall.

Plus it has decent acting, fun action, a great story and interesting characters. It was nice to see who they were before they became Rangers and it changed their life. I almost shed a tear with one of the episodes, so that says something.

Come to think of it, the acting and great story was what kept me hooked. Not the stupid Zords and so on.

So do yourself a favour and give this season a chance.

I grew up with the classic "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers", "The Movie" and "Zeo" afterwards it was mixed-bag. "Turbo" and it's dumb movie sucked!, and i never liked it even back when i was 8, "In Space" was a huge improvement, "Lost Galaxy", "Lightspeed Rescue" and "Time Force" were decent, but afterwards i just didn't care anymore, because i got older and felt it's not for my demographic anymore being really cheesy, inconsistent writing and sometimes plain childish, too much pointless subplots and filler. the only power rangers seasons that was surprised me with some effort were "Dino Thunder" and "SPD" but then it went back to being dumb, childish and annoying. in 2009 Disney announced that "RPM" is the final season of the franchise under their ownership. i didn't care at first, but then some friends who are fans told me to watch it, it's nothing like the other shows and it's one of few power rangers series that's better then the original super sentai it's based on, "Engine Sentai Go-onger".

so out my curiosity i saw the first couple episodes of RPM and WOW! for the first time ever i doesn't feel lazy, cheesy or childish power rangers at all, the mature writing, elements of realism (which is rare for 'power rangers' standers), the episodes are serialized with very little filler, the tone is more serious and dark, the casts performance is one of the best i have seen in power rangers series, the action scenes are also pretty cool, the characters are all likable and developed. my only nitpick with the show is the zords, they look really silly and they even have eyes!, in the sentai version they even talk. thankfully the staff that worked on RPM also hated the zords design and muted their voices to fit a much serious adaptation. overall this might be the best power rangers series of all time!!!

Rpm was the strongest Disney series since SPD. Im glad they cut the episodes down because they couldn't have fit as much filler in the season. Rpm had a strong story that kept me invested through the season. On more than a couple of occasions they ended an episode with a cliffhanger which helps show the continuity. The acting was above average for any TV show especially for kids. The characters were given back stories and had at least one episode dedicated to it in the beginning of the season to see their roots and their growth since then. They have a lot of development. The villains were fair. Tenaya was the best because of her back-story and her own thoughts and verge of knowing who or what she is. Venjix was an okay villain. He was powerful but he wasn't an actual being and doesn't have much of a personality. The action was fast-paced with suitable soundtrack. They sometimes burn out the foot soldiers and make car noises to compliment the car theme. There were a lot of unmorphed fights which was more impressive because I've seen rpm enough to know that the actors do the fight scenes when unmorphed. The unmorphed fights haven't been used much since in space which is good to get back to pure martial arts instead of sentai footage. They story was really intriguing and good comic characters. The zords were ultimately stupid and looked stupid but that really doesn't matter. The show took a dark turn to it and it was good. A post apocalyptic future was a great setting. Overall rpm was a great series and I recommend it. 10/10 and the season will get in gear

Power Rangers RPM showcase good storytelling of it's being MORE-MATURED despite having limits for an TV-Y7-FV series which felt it was aimed for young adults. The personal and tragic character-arcs mostly with Dr. K, Dillion, and Tenyale's arcs are the most personal tragic, which the show runners wasn't scared to take risks for this series. RPM has great acting and writing, would truly recommend this series to newcomers and fans of Power Rangers, who are looking for an more serious season of the brand. Despite having some morals and fillers, this actually more of an more-matured series but still makes it fun for all ages to young adults. Also, Power Rangers RPM feels so cinematic to have an Mad Max and Terminator feel to it. With Power Rangers RPM, you will actually forget this is a kid's show.

"R.P.M." is got to be the Best Power Rangers series since the 90s stuff Much better than Ninja Storm and Lightspeed rescue and Samurai

it has a Great&Strong Storyline, the rangers are cool, The Acting was , Zords are fun, the Megazords are Awesome, Cornith City is great and it takes place in the post-apocalyptic future it's like terminator with power rangers and Megazords and Zords

Dillon (the next Andros)&Scott are cool Ziggy is funny And Dr K was a nice but fun Mentor

The theme song is awesome (a lot of fans hated that theme but i liked it)

and we have Tenaya 7/15 Who is Also Dillons Sister (shes Good but a bit Annoying than Marah and Kapri from ninja Storm), Shifter and Kilobyte are great Henchmens, Venjix was a great villain and his final form was one tough machine and his goal is to you guessed it, taking over the world.

But Perhaps one of the best episodes of R.P.M. Next to the First 3 episodes of R.P.M. was the last episode (Danger and Destiny part 2) not because it was not as good as the 3 Parter Finale of Time Force and In Space's Countdown to Destruction Finale but because it was too good and exciting to watch Tenaya turns into a Good Guy the 3 rangers fights venjix for their final battle The gold and silver ranger's Zords blast the tower off Dillon rescues Tenaya and kicks crunch Dillon grabs Tenaya and they take out the parachute. The trio run for cover as the tower Gem and Gemma squash Venjix with Corinth's control tower Gem and Gema have a happy reunion with trio. Dillon and Summer left together into the wide, open world, with little sister Tenaya tagging along too.

Ziggy and Dr. K finally accepted each other's feelings and joined together to form a cute school for little kids.

i wish i had a cute school for little kids Scott took over the Eagle Sqaudron, finally able to fill the shoes of his deceased older brother. Flynn and his Dad teamed up again to open up Corinth's computer networks and Gem and Gemma also got employed for the Eagle Squadron, Dillon stops his car, they all get out to a flower, Dillon puts water on it. They find more little flowers and then over a stoop, many more flowers, a lake and mountain the world was restored and they all lived happily ever after

what a charming end to a brilliant series or is it? the background music played is that of the Venjix Palace and Scott's morpher is shown on screen with one red light blinking,

indicating that the Venjix virus might come back.

i was like "i can't wait for the next Episode what's Gonna Happen" and I was a bit shocked when power rangers has been canceled after R.P.M. Because it was CITV's last power rangers season but 2 Years Later Saban Brands had Brought Back the franchise

R.P.M. was a must Have for all the Power Rangers Fans or the kids who never watched power rangers and For the whole family

RPM was the Darkest Power Rangers Season to Date.

So If you missed power rangers ninja storm and power rangers dino thunder and power rangers zeo and power rangers in space or power rangers lost galaxy and season 3 of MMPR then R.P.M. is what you need.
