Welcome to the first of a 50 week long column. Once a week, there will be a new Power Ranger story that was seen on the series post on here as among the best. Before we get started, I wanted to break down how this list is tabulated.
Between looking over each series and diving into the episodes of each show, we are gonna look at the best that Power Rangers has to offer. There will be at least one episode of each series, Save for Megaforce, on this list. So be prepared. Some of the stories you will see will not be surprises. Some of the stories in this list most definitely will.
Remember, while this list is somewhat subjective, fan comments and votes are STILL viable. For the next 50 weeks, we will be counting down an episode each week. So, grab your morphers and let's rock.
MIGHTY MORPHIN MUTANTS
Ah. Yes. We start with the first season. And oddly enough, we start with the second to last episode of the very first season. Mighty Morphin Mutants has a lot of great things going for it as to why it made the countdown.:
- We have The Rangers fighting against a team of Evil Rangers
- We got a character subplot and slight development for Tommy: with his forgetfulness.
- It's a six on six ranger fight with the evil Rangers led by a crayfish monster.
- Some damn good fighting scenes.
- One of the funniest Bulk and Skull scenes in Power Rangers History.
- One of the best and longest Zord battles in PR history.
Mighty Morphin Mutants is probably the second best instance of evil rangers for the first season .... heck, for the entire run of Mighty Morphin. The episode felt like a movie for the most part and it was Glorious. Yet, there are several things that make this episode hit #50.
- The Tommy Subplot seemed kinda of there. You could have substituted it with a different subplot and the episode would have been just as good for the first season.
- Heavy Use of Zyu2 footage is both a good and bad in this episode.
- We NEVER see what happens to the evil Pink and Yellow Rangers. We just *Assume* they were destroyed but we see them go flying.
- It's season 1 acting. What do you want?
Overall, why not the best episode ever, Mighty Morphin' Mutants was an enjoyable ride with an almost cinematic like feel to it. Check out Mighty Morphin' Mutants to see what I mean.
But till then, Happy New Year's and welcome ... It's gonna be a bumpy and awesome ride.
