The Dark Truth About The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
In the 1990s, few TV shows aimed at younger viewers made a cultural imprint as profound as the original “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.” While it utilized footage from the Japanese “Super Sentai” series by Toei Company (a fact only die-hard Sentai warriors might recognize), Saban Entertainment created an entirely new narrative about a group of six “teenagers with attitude,” who were fated to protect the world. “Power Rangers” exploded onto the global scene, giving rise not just to 30 distinct TV seasons altogether, but also numerous movies, video games, comic books, and action figures. Yet, nothing can surpass the original series, even if it harbors some unsettling truths of its own.
