Remember when Disney owned PowerRangers?
Power Rangers very rarely appears in the conversation of what the best superhero team of all time is, or even the best superhero show, and it should be. The original Super Sentai franchise has a fan base in its own right in its home country of Japan and beyond, but outside viewers who look at the term Power Rangers usually attach Mighty Morphin' before it and call it a day. There is far more to Power Rangers than just the first, if iconic season.
A Brief History Of Power Rangers The franchise starts with media mogul Haim Saban, whose company Saban Entertainment, found its niche in adapting Japanese tokusatsu shows for American audiences, the only one really sticking being Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, adapted from Super Sentai's Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger.
A Look Inside the Disney Era Fox wasn't quite finished with Power Rangers, airing one more season on the Fox Kids block along with ABC Family, which was Wild Force. That was the final classic Saban series of the show, and there's a considerable shift between it and the next several seasons. Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury, and RPM.
The improvements aren't just shown in the production, but the writing really shaped up in most of the seasons as well, both in creating new stories and in expanding already established Power Rangers lore, such as the return of Tommy Oliver in Dino Thunder. Despite this, the plan was to end the show after Jungle Fury, but due to contractual obligations with toy company Bandai, the post-apocalyptic Power Rangers: RPM was born.
