Welcome to how we sound like fusion? 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.680 That was the coolest aspect of it, was there, doubled voice, 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.200 We did it. I just want to leave in that 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.720 whole top. Please leave in the top. Everyone, Welcome to defficent. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.400 I am Danny Fernanezon Across from me is when you're 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.400 what are you wearing? If he oh, I'm wearing you know, 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.240 my gym clothes. No, it looks like it's a very 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.280 specific character. You know, it's from Dragon ball Z right 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.640 right right? Uh yeah, but it looks like armor with 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.360 a certain symbol. That is that what this is? I 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.080 didn't notice. Yeah, it looks like I think the only 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.199 person that I know that wore that specific armor with 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.800 that symbol would be Vegeta. Man, I must have made 0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.000 a mistake. Okay, clothes on so quick, I didn't really 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.600 lies well. Vegeta has the coolest like shirts to make 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.959 gym shirts like, I don't know, like I like your 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.240 Goku swimsuit, but I feel like the armor looks good 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.000 when you're like, yeah, if you have to tell you, 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.320 I bought some knockoffs of that. I actually bought off 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:17.600 knockoff Piccolo's pants and they do not fit. They're so 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.400 like and they're like the seam isn't even right, isn't 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.480 lined up right off? To send you a picture, I 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.920 took a picture. It was basically little boy shorts. Um 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.839 they were supposed to be men's but um oh yeah yeah, 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.080 I could barely get my butt into it. There we 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.160 almost said the other word. But did it friendly come 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.080 from China? I think so, yeah, that's Sweet's it's because 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.440 when I tried to get my romp him, my bootleg 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.160 romp Him, I got like the double XL and that thing. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.560 I think I have a video where I'm ripping out 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:53.080 of it. The second one that came it fits. Oh yeah, 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:59.480 I should like tweet a picture in this episode. See 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:04.440 where what is it? I can't even make out this. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.760 Oh it was so cheap. Anyways, don't ordered knockoff things online. 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.720 They don't fit something most of the time, just you know, 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.480 but when they're like dirt cheap, like on a wish. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.040 I got it from eBay and they were like fifteen 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.520 bucks per romp him and I was like, I'll burn 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.080 And I was like I'll get two kinds just to 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.680 be safe, and yeah, that was the way to go. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.919 So I paid thirty dollars for a romp him that fits. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:33.239 I started using wish dot com. Well you know, you 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.960 don't know what you're going to get, which is fun, 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.400 but you could spend like fifty dollars and get at 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.040 least like a hundred different items. I'm not kidding. Like so, 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.440 I think I got like a robe that was for 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.040 ten dollars and it was like sequence, it didn't fit 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.079 me at all. Is made for a tiny child. But 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.920 that's the thing is you never know how it's going 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.880 to fit. Most of it is like a one or 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.640 two use where once you wash it falls apart. But 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.680 there are some funny I think what I got um Stella, 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.000 who was on our Causeplay episode. She uses Wish a 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.280 lot because it's cheap material. And so they have the 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:14.000 sticky cups that go on your pets. Yeah you can 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.000 say breast. I don't know what I'm allowed to say 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:21.320 on our show, so I try to, yeah, breast pecks. Essentially, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.840 you have these little sticky cups that go on there 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.160 to protect them when you can't wear a bra. Oh nice, Yeah, 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.880 so you're not poking through yeah, yeah, so those are 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.200 actually really nice. I mean the chemicals probably cause cancer 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.400 or something because it's so cheap. Yeah, there's always it's 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.240 like the um like that trope where you go to 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.680 this like mystic shop and it gives you one dope thing. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:50.400 But there's always something that's what wishes it is. But anyways, 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.240 if they want to sponsor us, please, Uh, I'm Danny 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.720 at stuff media dot com. Today we are covering something 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.800 that's very near and dear to I feel both of 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.360 our heart. Oh yeah, no, this is this was just 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.520 the nineties kids staple. Like everyone was into Power Rangers. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.520 It was like the first, I think of our generation, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.760 really big inclusive thing, you know, outside of like your 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.800 care bears and stuff where care Bears. I felt like 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.640 both genders were into. I feel like Power Rangers were too, 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.560 because even though it was like the superhero thing they had, 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:27.400 they had every most races represented male and female, and 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.080 they were the color of the rainbow. Yeah. Yeah, I 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.440 had so much Pink Ranger stuff that my family gave me. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.520 It was also during the time I think when Barney 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.159 was still on, so it was like I was getting 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.640 Barney gifts at my birthday party, but also like the 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.320 dopas hell Pink Ranger stuff. Yeah, I don't know why 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.880 my why, Like, yeah, I remember I had some Yellow 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:51.000 Ranger stuff as well. Um but uh yeah those were 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.960 my two that I remember I had. I think I 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.800 had like a pink Ranger like Bank. I definitely had 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.320 the glove. Do you remember like you could buy the sounds? 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.080 Yeah yes, so yeah, so we're talking today about Power Rangers. 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.080 Yeah yeah, so let's just kick this thing off. No no, uh, 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:13.279 tangents just right into it. So basically Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.800 which aired on the Fox Kids weekly afternoon block in, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.479 was actually Saban Entertainments repackaging of a Japanese show, which, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.400 h if you didn't know, now you know, the idea 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.360 to repackage these Japanese live action superhero shows was an 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.680 idea that Times Saban had for a while in the eighties. Yeah, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.160 he actually made this like famous business trip to Japan 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.680 in which he was like in his hotel and the 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.240 only thing that the only reception or something that he 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:46.080 got on his TV was the Japanese series Supercentai which 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.400 Super Sentai, for those that don't know, is basically the 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.919 superhero team franchise TV series that was produced by both 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:58.240 Toy and Bandi, and it was like live action characters 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:03.559 with like super colorful, over dramatic like special effects. Um, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.719 if you haven't seen it, I mean it's basically like 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.279 Power Rangers. But if you haven't seen it, go Google 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.840 or YouTube. Supercenti and so at the time, Saban was 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:18.919 pretty fascinated by these like five masked characters in spandex 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:25.040 suits fighting monsters. Also just absurd monsters, absurd makeup and costumes. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:31.839 Uh So, inve he actually produced a pilot episode called 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:37.239 Bioman and it was an American adaptation of a Supercenti show. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.840 Uh and that was heavily rejected by all of our 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.640 American network television stations, and and and before creating Power Games. 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.599 The idea of adapting Senti series to American public emerged 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.400 actually in the late seventies after the agreement between toe 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.320 A and Marvel Comics to exchange concepts and adapt them 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.320 to their respective audiences. So Toy with Marvel create the 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.040 Spider Man series based on the comics of the same name, 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.080 and then produced three Super Sinti series, which had great 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.560 success in Japan. And while Stanley and Marvel tried to 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:12.080 sell the Sun Vulcan series to various television stations, including HBO. Uh, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.920 it wasn't like it happened in Japan. It didn't succeed 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.800 after three years and the agreement ended. And I don't know, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.440 have you seen any of the Spider Man stuff online, 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.720 the Japanese stuff, it's pretty crazy, Like it's basically Spider 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.400 Man and he has like a car, and he like 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.280 has like a super suit. They just they're like, all right, 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.480 we see your Spider Man, but we actually think ours 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.120 would need a super mech. Look up Japanese Spider Man. 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.000 It's so good. Oh that's that's hilarious. Yeah, I love it. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.480 So um he doesn't like fling from building to building 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:49.760 with his webs. Yeah yeah, so yeah. So Sabon's pilot, 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.520 Bio Man, was was rejected pretty heavily, and according to 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.240 a Levy, he actually kept a tape of it with 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.560 him at all times that you would like pitch to 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:04.160 network sort of people or just randomly take out and show. Um, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.320 so in is that one both of you and I 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:15.240 were born? Yeah, we umen Iffie and Danny were born. Uh. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.640 Saban made his own production company and actually made several shows, 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.880 but including one of the most popular was X Men, 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.640 the animated series. Oh yeah, that was a Saban show. Yeah, 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.000 there's actually a ton It's so funny because Saban is 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.719 so synonymous with Powers with Me that I forgot they 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.440 did things. But now that I think of it, they 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.160 did have a logo at the end. I do know 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:41.240 that his producer is that the Spider Man. Oh what, 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.200 oh my gosh. His costume looks like he ordered it 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:49.040 on wish. Yeah, for sure, it's very dramatic. I love it. 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.520 Yeah you want. We'll have this video in the footnotes 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.160 for people to see. But yeah, he's basically, yeah, just 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.600 wearing a cheap Spiderman s and he uses his like 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.920 watch to transform into Spider Man. It's you can tell 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.360 it's Senti influence there. So he wasn't bit by a 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:13.400 spider a rope. Well that's convenient. Um. So in the 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.520 early nineties, the head of Fox Kids, which was Margaret Laos, 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.520 she was actually looking for a new show for kids 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.240 that would be adventurous and fun and silly. So she 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.320 actually loved the idea of the Bioman pilot and hern 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.600 Sabon decided to negotiate with Toe for a newer Supercenti 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.640 at the time, which was Kiori sentai Zo Ranger and 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.600 that is what ended up being Power Rangers. And it 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.400 was basically so for those who don't know, they pieced 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.640 together parts of the show. So the action sequences were 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.880 from Japan, so those stayed, and that was what the 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.040 Bioman pilot was as well, and then this new Power 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.480 Rangers pilot and show, a lot of the show is 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.200 still shot. What essentially they did was they would intercut it, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.000 so it didn't know aways look good, and it wasn't 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.800 always clean, and it didn't always make sense, especially in 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.120 later Power Rangers series, it didn't always make sense of 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.520 what they were. Like one of them, I think the 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.120 in Galaxy one, the equivalent in Japan they were actually 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.760 in it was like a Wildlife one, so it didn't 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.280 even make sense that they did that. But yeah, so 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.640 so the Power Ranger series itself was intercut with the 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.960 Japanese one. So then when they would cut to like 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.760 their teenage life or whatever, that was what we would 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.640 see as the American actors. But then a lot of 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.400 the action and fighting sequences for at least a good 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.960 portion of it were from Japan. Yeah. It was actually 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.280 a pretty dope set up when you think about it, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.240 because all the action is taken care of. They just 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.719 borrowed the stuff from Japan, and actually I heard that 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.320 they would send them the suits. So like all the 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.720 scenes with the the actual actors interacting with the monsters 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.439 they just re shot, so you only have to shoot 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.280 all of the in between and just the like interactions 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.800 with the monsters and you're pretty much good. The hard 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.080 stuff was taken care of by Japan. It kind and 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.560 it was. But also I heard like horror stories of like, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.520 well they didn't get their suit in time where they 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.720 had to like uh which happened with a particular ranger 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.640 which we'll get into, but um, yeah, they didn't get 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.280 their suit in time, and then there was a point 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:17.200 where they would like lose pieces or like of the costume. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.960 But at that point they had gotten so big that 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.080 they could just go to the store. This was like 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.120 after the show was huge. They would go to the 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.920 store and like go to like Toys r Us and 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.360 pick up part of the suit from there and just 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.280 like put it on because it was like such a 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.760 you know, Chief replica essentially, which was what the suits 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:38.480 where the suits were so cheap. Um. So, yeah, we 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.280 had the first episode which I don't know if you 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.720 remember this if he uh Day of the Dumpster. It 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:48.719 was two astronauts which found that's what we opened on 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.880 found a dumpster on the moon, as you do, uh, 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.000 and they opened it for some reason and it released 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:00.360 rita repulsa embers of evil. Uh. And she had spent 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.400 ten thousand years in that dumpster. She wants a planet 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.280 to conquer, and what does she see if she's on 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.880 the Moon, She's going to see Earth. And so Sordon, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.920 the big giant Wizard of Oz head looking dude detects 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:18.000 this tells Alpha five, who's like a bender slash like 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:22.839 lost in space, um, Johnny number five robot dude to 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.959 essentially assemble a group of five teens to fight, which 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.080 now looking back hearing this, I'm like, it's such a 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.920 funny thing that we never questioned as kids that it 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.920 would be, like, yeah, the best people to to fight 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:37.280 her just five high school teenagers. Yeah, yeah, that's the 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.760 one because they have they're so pure of heart. Do 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.360 you want to go through the Rangers? Yeah, So we 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.440 had Jason Lee Scott, he was the Red Ranger, Kimberly Hart, 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.280 Pink Ranger, Zach Taylor, which is the Black Ranger, Trinny 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.360 Kwan the Yellow Rangers and Billy Cranston the Blue Ranger. Yeah, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.320 and we actually have a clip here. We got clips 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:15.560 ready ready, all right, Oh yeah, that's iconic. I got 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:21.200 one more for you. I got one more. Remember this sound? Yeah, 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.720 I remember that was like the bootleg version of the 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.920 so maybe it was. I tried to find it but 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.120 I couldn't. It also kind of sounds a little like 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.320 Kim Possible, but um, I mean she obviously came later. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.680 My trainer used to have my workout trainer used to 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.080 have the Power Rangers ring tone. Yeah, it's so funny, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.800 like just that riff, that guitar riff is just so known, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.560 and that nineties were really the golden age of guitar 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:50.240 themes because we had rocked the Dragon. Yeah, and then 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:56.440 Don't Don't don't d Oh my gosh, it took me back. Yes, yes, 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.480 oh my gosh. But speaking of the Rangers, so Jason 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:05.480 the Red Ranger very jock esque filling that like like 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:10.040 if Zach Morris were a Power Ranger. Essentially um teaches karate. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.480 So ABC Family actually did a contest in two thousand 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.600 four and he was voted people's favorite Ranger and Tone 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.920 Disney did one in two thousand seven, he was voted 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.520 again as people's favorite Ranger. He also just like if 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.480 you watch this series, is like kind of put to 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.520 the forefront, especially in their megaz Ord or whatever, which 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.760 we'll get into what that is. Everyone else is kind 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.880 of like a side I'm not like a side character, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.560 but he definitely takes like the forefront. And then he's 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.000 also the only Ranger that it has defeated, the most 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.520 enemies by himself than any other Ranger, and the only 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.760 Ranger to beat Tommy Oliver. So if you do, you 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.920 want to tell everyone who Tommy, that's our boy. J 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.240 d F Jason David Frankie's the original Green Ranger. He lived, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.760 he's been He's really been holding that Ranger banner for 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.040 a while now. But Tommy Oliver is first introducing Mighty 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.800 Morphant Power Rangers as a five part episod So Green 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.000 with Evil as a new student in Angel Grove High School, 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.880 and uh, what's crazy is like I remember that it 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.080 was such a big deal that there was this new Ranger, 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.840 this new Green Ranger, and he had the suit and 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.320 it had like a like an extra light diamond vest 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.880 to it. And we're like, who is this. I was 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.640 going to say he was the one where like I 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.040 think that they didn't have his costume quite right, so 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.640 they were like some scenes that were just like really bad. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.800 I think I can't remember like his shield or something 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.440 like his Yeah, it was like different in the Japanese 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.040 when they had to make it out of cloth and 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.320 the American one. Yeah, and no other kids show had 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.440 done a five part episode before, so it was it 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.720 was a really huge Yeah, that's crazy. He didn't know that. Uh. 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.960 And then like unlike like what we were saying that 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.480 he has the golden shield armor, two golden arm bands 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.400 and then triangles instead of diamonds on the gloves and boots, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.080 and the belt buckle was golden instead of silver. So 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.520 he was stunting. He was a fancy boy. And I 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.200 also remember he was the only one that got him 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.320 and kimberly him and they had like a love interest 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.800 and they kissed, which was a big deal for me 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.320 when I was little. They're like, whoa, oh, I don't 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:06.800 know we could do that on here. I'm trying to 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.000 think of other kids shows where people kissed. I don't 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.720 feel like maybe like, uh, I don't know if it 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.040 happened in Clarisa explains it all or how was a 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.480 big deal to see people actually pressed their lips together. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:23.000 You're like, oh, And then we have Zach who is 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.840 a Black Ranger that was Jason's best friend. He taught 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.400 hip hop what he called hip hop a keto, which 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.280 was basically martial arts and breakdance, which is funny because 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.880 there is in martial arts that exists that's that and 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.280 it's called capeara, which they could have done it, but 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.960 but that that was the nineties, like kind of it's 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.880 funny to see how martial arts has evolved over the 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:46.720 years and in the nineties it was all about like 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.760 karate and take kwondo, like all the other martial arts 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.360 were not that popping, Like those were the ones that 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.960 kids knew about. At least where I grew up, it 0:16:56.040 --> 0:17:00.560 was karate, kung fu and uh take doubt those were 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.040 the only ones. But now you know, yeah, but like yeah, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.399 no Capwarra is that you know, he could have been 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.520 a Capalwarra guy, but you know they didn't know that 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.040 back then. Yeah. Yeah, that we have Treney the Yellow Ranger. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.720 She was also a martial artist. Um I guess I 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.600 don't know if you want to touch on because in 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.640 a lot of the articles that we pulled up, it 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.280 was not apparent to them that they had cast the 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.360 Black Ranger as black and the an Asian actress as 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.399 the Yellow Ranger. They said they didn't even um dawn 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.080 on them until the tenth episode, and then they changed 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.399 that in future iterations. In fact, the film that just 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.840 came out, I think Becky G was the the artist, 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.600 Becky G was the Yellow Ranger, and in the movie 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.960 that just came out not that long ago, so that 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.359 was I don't know. People had a lot of mixed 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.600 opinions about that, just of note something to vote. I 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.480 thought it was more of a funny thing and never 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.679 really came off malicious except the fact that Zach was 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.199 like the hip hop dance guy. But I think that 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.919 was like the nine becase where everyone was so enamored by, like, 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.399 you know, the black hip hop you know, like, how 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.720 can we add this to our show? How would mine 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:13.800 have been the Brown Ranger? Yea ranger range. So then 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.720 we have Billy Billy Cranston the Blue Ranger. He was 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:21.560 a stereotypical brainy nerd. He was named after Brian Cranston 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.720 thought him. Yeah, I thought of that when I saw 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:29.200 his name, and then so Brian Cranston would later play 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.199 sord On in the reboot, but he also did a 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:36.879 lot of the zany voices for the Henchman, which if 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.800 you haven't heard, I think I have it here. It 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:44.359 is okay, ready, all right, no match for me? My 0:18:44.560 --> 0:19:03.040 fire by Oscar Worthy, my awright, yack. So that's brand Cranston. Really, 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.400 it's funny because I was hoping like maybe I would know, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.320 but you know, that doesn't sound like him at all. Yeah, 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.320 that's pretty cool that he was around back then and 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.920 that the Blue Ranger was named after him. In fact, 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.399 the Blue Ranger David Yos actually had a story that 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.080 I was reading about on Advocate where he said that 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:26.080 he dealt tremendously with bullying and homophobia while he was 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.960 on the show, and after the show. Was it from 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.480 from who he said it was? I believe his colleagues, 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.960 let me pull. So the first Blue Ranger somehow managed 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.360 to put up with horrendous homophobic slurs on a constant basis, 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.119 in addition to the crew grilling co stars about his 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.600 sexuality behind his back. I don't know if he was 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.479 out back then, I imagine not um, because it might 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.040 have jeopardized him, especially back in the early nineties and 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.120 being on a kid's show, because that's how people were 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.679 back then, still now and still now, very true and 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:03.199 still now firm. Multiple seasons before he left the show. Um, 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.679 and he said that he also attempted gay conversion and 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:10.879 even considered suicide because of having to deal with So 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.880 he's spoken up pretty he's spoken up a lot now 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.120 about it. Uh. And I think you know, has helped 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.880 other people, especially in that community, like in the nerd community. Um, 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.879 of what he's gone through. But that was kind of 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:26.960 something behind the scenes that a lot of people didn't 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.440 know about him. And he was in several of the shows. 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.520 He was a character that can like that continued on 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:40.119 past just the original Mighty Morphine How Rangers. So yeah, um, 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.679 and then we have Kimberly Let's perk things up. She 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.880 was a valley girl, a gymnast, loves them all and 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:49.159 she ends up having a relationship with Tommy and I 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:53.440 like that Caps and they kissed. It was a big deal. 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.440 I know. It's funny because it seemed like the perfect archetype, 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.800 like you could tell they wrote it for girls to 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.119 enjoy the show because their idea of like, you know, 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:06.119 she's like a girly girl, she's like a cheerleader. Yeah, um, yeah, 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.720 it is funny. Yeah, it's so like nine And there's 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:10.719 no way now I mean not that they wouldn't have 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.360 a pink Ranger, but I feel like just making her 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.840 so over the top. But yeah, So the series itself 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:21.359 was basically them combating Rita and an endless array of 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.720 monsters and normal teen stuff. So you know, it's still 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.560 a team like show still have like issues that they 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:30.920 dealt with, like in Boy Meets World, and then they're oh, 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:38.280 they're bullies Bulk and Skull so that hyper now so farcas. Yeah, 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.480 Bulk bulk Meyer and Eugene Skull Skull of Itch. I 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:43.840 love that I've found their real names. Are two of 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.960 the longest running characters, so they last through six seasons. 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:52.440 They actually outlast the cast themselves. So when they when 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:54.960 they recast the Power Rangers as they did and did 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:58.600 a couple of times, Bulk and Skull still stayed. Um 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.240 and they actually have an art unlike some of the 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.920 other characters where they moved from being bullies to actually 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.919 having you know, like emotions and wanting to do what's right. 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.520 There's even an episode where they like are putting like 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.680 a dream state where you're able to see what they 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:17.360 dream of, and they dream of being superheroes themselves. It's 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:19.240 like that bully, you know, like a deep down they 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.600 actually want to be the good guy or they're they're 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:26.479 jealous that they can't, so um life of bullying. So 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:30.480 Bulk is at hyper hyper show. Yeah, so he's he 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:34.080 was on Power Rangers hyper Force playing Bulk and and 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.560 in this Bulk gets to become a Power Ranger. It's 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.199 actually kind of cool. The fans really dug it because 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:42.960 they got to basically take the lore and just like 0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:47.440 make it I think it's like a kind of cannon too. Yeah. 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.480 Can you tell everyone about hyper Force? Yeah, Hyper Forces 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.160 a live action Power Rangers are p gu which featured 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.320
