@@PowerRangersAcademia My heart is hardened because of how much junk I've been through over the years due to bullies and judgmental people attacking me and judging me including my own family so I've basically ignored them, them meaning relatives and even this special made me cry solely because of Thuy's Trini.
This was a freaking great anniversary special Zack & Billy really held it down especially Zack & Minh took the hit for Billy & finally earning the power that was awesome then the ending got me. R.I.P Thuy Trang & Jason David Frank 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Wow! Just wow! Now this is how you do an anniversary special. Every single character got a chance to shine, especially Zack. He was the stand out for me. Him doing hip hop kido was a great moment. All the actors still got it in them after all these years, especially when it comes to Barbara Goodson. She still has it in her with her voice. I also really liked Minh and her development and her motivation on wanting to avenge Trini. Hope we see her again.
@@PowerRangersAcademia BTW, I don’t know if you heard but yesterday Boom Studios announced that they’re doing a Power Rangers Hyperforce one shot comic in Power Rangers Unlimited coming July 2023. I’m so hype!
*hugs* I know what you mean man. This special was very well done and I am happy to be a part of it. I was lucky to have gotten a chance to meet Jason David Frank before his passing. His spirit, as does the spirit of all the other ranger actors we’ve lost over the years, lives on in all of us. May the power protect you.
You always rock, Academia! This was an awesome special. It was MORPHINOMIAL to say the least. There are so many references from past Power Rangers series. My sister and I grew up watching Power Rangers as children. We met Jason David Frank twice! I’m going to meet the rest of the cast of every Ranger. The ending tribute brought me to tears. 😢😢💔⚡️⚡️
This special was fantastic. Easily up there with Forever Red as the best anniversary. Everything was done with love and care, even Rocky got much needed W lol. But hearing JDF one last time gave me feels but all in all this was a great tribute for him, Thuy and all of Power Rangers 10/10 for me.
When I first saw Robo Rita, my first thought was literally "She really went overboard with the Snapchat filters". 😂😂 But this was really well done. Cheesy dialogue, great action, so much nostalgia and a simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking tribute to Thuy and JDF at the end. I do wish we had actually seen Bulk and Skull instead of just their pictures on a sign. Also, I love the commentary from Kat on the Putties sounding like angry turkeys. 😆😅😂
I will never not shed a tear for Jason David frank I am one of the lucky few who had a chance to meet him and take a photo with the Green ranger “once a ranger always a ranger “ 😢 if they reboot MMPR with the new young yellow ranger it would be amazing to have Jason’s daughter play the new green ranger 🔥🔥
I enjoyed this special so much but I was a little depressed afterwards. Never saw this channel before but watching this reaction and seeing someone else enjoy it and have those emotions made me feel better. So thanks for that.
Dang, Uchi…you almost had me shedding a thug tear over here. That tribute and the scene leading up to it were very moving when I watched them too. Great review!
Thanks so much. And honestly it’s ok to let your emotions out naturally. Believe it or not I really tried to not cry for the sake of the video to get through what I wanted to say. Seeing and hearing Tommy once more in a Power Ranger special got me too hard ❤️ I’ll never not miss him and I won’t ever “get over” his passing. He has always been my favorite since his original debut back when I was a kid.
@@PowerRangersAcademia Yea they evoked the fandom's imagery of Tommy joining Trini, when he reaches out to her there and they freeze frame on Trini before cutting to black, pretty heavy.
@@PowerRangersAcademia You’re welcome. I agree with you 1000% on expressing emotions, and I highly commend you for sharing this moment with us on your platform. The loss you’ve experienced is truly significant. Feel your feelings, bro. You’re not alone. Salute and blessings to you and the PRA squad🫡🙏
It's interesting to see where we're at now in regards to societal progression around suicide and mental health. In the same special that they pay tribute to JDF, Hasbro distance themselves from Austin by having someone else do Jason's VO, we only hear him once during a morphing roll call, and his new Lightning figure is the only one that doesn't come with a human head sculpt (they try to make it up by giving him the Dragon shield instead of Tommy). All that effort to distance themselves from him for the mere "potential" of Austin committing a crime, no one really knows if he did it yet but the potential alone is enough for a corporation to blacklist him, for now at least, but yet we still get this touching tribute to JDF and the toys are fully backing him, I just thought it was an interesting observation cause I remember how taboo suicide used to be. P.S. You have to be pure-hearted to morph, not chosen. Her desire for revenge was a personal desire, and Zordon said way back in episode 1 that you cannot use the powers for personal gain. The dad talk Zack gives her in the command center was really the heart of the whole thing, though funny when he asks "you think being a Ranger is cute quips, kicking butt and having fun" when that's literally what they did 99% of the time lol, only the comics have explored the struggle of it all. But this special took the morphing concept from the 2017 movie and applied it to the revenge drama of Wakanda Forever.
the special was so good and Minh had a nice story and she was very relatable. Yup they were using the archived audio clips for the ones who didn't come back but Kimberly and Trini's were much clearer, it's very clear that it's their archived clips. The broadcast Minh was watching was a BuzzBlast report and that was 1 of their employees that we saw in Dino Fury. Harvey Garvey was a reference to post-The Power Transfer, he was the TV show host that the Rangers got interviewed by. Was anyone cutting onions? Minh seeing Trini's memories is what broke me.
I know the end got too me too 😢, I was wearing my headsets and watching it on my phone and my Girlfriend was looking at me like🤨 I said WHAT!!! MAN CAN'T CRY 😄than I've told her it was a tribute for Thuy and JDF, May they R.I.P 🙏
i was 8 when power rangers aired and let me tell you i came back to watch this. i have not really watch anything from turbo going forward yet i would still keep up with comics and games but this right here is our power rangers :) i was a kid again man
I think Minh could be a future red ranger. She has the experience to lead a team and has the legacy to do it. She could be as good as Jason now that she has been through things and has matured. They can do a lot with her character😊 like they did with Jason.
Probably had Jyb/Adam do the Tommy things. He was like the only person who could do imo, since he is a voice actor. Overall this was amazing for power rangers standards. Also, I loved that they showed zeo yellow to explain why's he wasn't in this since she was the first one added to the cast that wasn't in mmpr. Since she'd be one of the first to come back. The way they also took away Kim, Tommy, and Jason. To make room for Rocky and Kat it worked amazingly. Wished Adam and Aisha were in it more, but covering up the SPD continuity was amazing.
They used audio from mmpr and 1 line that Tommy said was from Dino Thunder 7:43 that was the same kick from the Turbo movie that broke his back There's gonna be a sequel no question. They need to do something with Tommy. In 2026 they can give JJ his own team to lead and it takes place right after soul of the dragon. And then that same year we get a Animated Tommy series where he dies in the end. I suggest ripping off the death of Captain Marvel. Years Ago he came into contact with something that gave him cancer, something from a past appearance of his, and the cancer has just started to manifest and that kills him in the end of the show. JJ is as of now the same age as Minh. Maybe they'll hook up🤣🤣🤣 This is better than anything marvel has done in the past ten years
I was *so* afraid this would suck and would let us fans down, but as soon as that moment hit 1:31 , I knew we were in good hands. They f###ing killed it.
How could you cut the part where Zack ask Minh "You wanna say it ?" and she's the one telling "It's Morphin time", from your montage. That was one of the most epic moments... lol
sir, is this program of yours available in Bangladesh, I am telling you from Netflix Bangladesh, I am a big fan of yours, now that program is not available in Bangladesh, when will it be? Do you know?
@@blaizecontee7093 yes! Soul of the Dragon was actually written with JDF as an advisor, so it's considered canon to the TV show. I won't spoil it for you, but Tommy does survive well past Cosmic Fury.
it was good but it had its problems for sure and it had plot holes to and it was way to fast paced for me and they did not answer any questions at all but it was good but it could have been so much better and it should have been longer
@@PowerRangersAcademia indeed, the Alpha stuff isn't a big deal and neither is how the Coins or zords came back, any number of reasons can be used. Billy and Trini are smart enough to do that. There's Ninjor, there's the Sentinel Knight, even Master Green, just take your pick.
That also means that Divatox's evil half is still out there in space somewhere.
This shit made me cry every damn time they showed trini or I heard her voice I watched this 4 times and tear up every fucking Time ugh
Yeah I haven’t watched it again cause I know I’ll cry again
Everyone is great in this, but Walter Jones was on another level. I’d love to see more of him, especially as a mentor/6th ranger.
Factssssss that would be great
It was great to see him do hip-hop kido again
All the real ones cried when Kim was singing! 💪🏽 RIP Thuy and JDF❤
Man if you didn’t I’m convinced you don’t have a heart lol

I love your excitement when reacting to the special.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Amazing 30th anniversary, Amazing tribute for Trini and Tommy. I want to see what Hasbro does now for Power Rangers.
Yeah let’s see..
Bro, Billy was the only one that lifted his morpher in the morphing sequence lmao

With all the JJ mentions, I think he would be the one to actually fill those shoes tbh.
5:56 Don't know if you got the reference here but this is an Easter egg, but Bendora was Rita's character name in the original Super Sentai series.
Yes. I’ve known that for years. Zyuranger is a really good show. That’s why I called out the palace name lol
I enjoyed this special so much but I was a little depressed afterwards.

You’re a real one if you cried
This was incredible. This made me feel 11 & 12 sitting on the edge of my seat. It was so fun.
It was very fun!
Rest In Power Thuy Trang and Jason David Frank!
The issue with the coins never came up after that but when Adam showed up in space they actually did something with that plot info
Yo they got make a part two this had me in tears I love it hopefully they can get Austin St. John
The ending made me cry as well😢
😭
@@PowerRangersAcademia I’m still not ok.
Just imagine how many more Villains they could bring back. Zordon was the only good guy that died during the "Z wave".
i was 8 when power rangers aired and let me tell you i came back to watch this. i have not really watch anything from turbo going forward yet i would still keep up with comics and games but this right here is our power rangers :) i was a kid again man

Good job reacting
Just found your page. Consider me subscribed. IMA huge power rangers fan too.

I cried too homie

Man you are great.

I think those were the super7 figures in the beginning.
Yeah!! I forgot the names of them
Dude i did the same thing to me awesome show
I had the same reaction as you bro❤

they used old narrations to bring back some of the others
How could you cut the part where Zack ask Minh "You wanna say it ?" and she's the one telling "It's Morphin time", from your montage. That was one of the most epic moments... lol

They used sound footage
WHY are unmorphed rangers defeating putties easier than morphed rangers? Have the civilians out-grown their powers?
Maybe in cosmic fury Tommy will die and new people will have to be his rangers
I don’t think so but we’ll see.
@@PowerRangersAcademia yeah but you can’t deny that it wouldn’t be cool or at least interesting
