Go, Go, Power Rangers!

Ideally, it would be correct to say that majority of boys loved this show. Wrong. It wasn’t necessarily my favourite, but it was incredibly enjoyable to watch. The Power Rangers was a live action children’s show that featured five teenage Rangers. There was the red, black, blue, yellow, and the pink Ranger. This show was based on a moral understanding of good and evil. Every episode had the Rangers fighting crime and promoting peace within the community. The Rangers were not to use their power for personal gain, or for creating a fight. They were just there to serve the public in the best means possible.

In my understanding, this show was a huge success because it influenced children’s imaginations. It seemed almost every boy wanted to be a Power Ranger for Halloween or just for make believe. The Rangers generally wore battle suits and helmets depicting their specific colour. One major rule the Rangers had, was to retain from revealing their natural form underneath their suits, or they would lose the power of being a Ranger. The Power Rangers were known for their superhuman strength, durability, super speed, and invisibility. Each has a particular weapon, and vehicle assigned to them.

Today, The Power Rangers has escalated into many different versions. From Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, to Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, multiple collections have been released. The sixteenth sequel of the show aired in March 2009 called Power Rangers: RPM. Although this action packed show may not be as popular as it once was, it still continues to get hits and maybe in a few years, it will be the next big thing again.
