Line 82:
* [[The Problem With Licensed Games]]: Averted. The 16-bit games were surprisingly good.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: In two flavors:
** [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: [[Amy Jo Johnson]] (Kimberly) went on to bigger and better things, most notably ''[[Felicity]]''.
*** Of course, after ''Felicity'' she more or less dropped off the face of the planet, going on to [[Old Shame|blame her lack of roles on how well known her role as a Power Ranger was]]. Until she got cast in ''[[Flashpoint (TV)|Flashpoint]]'', that is.
** [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] (Adam), on the other hand, became a voice actor with credits in ''[[Trigun]]'', ''[[Bleach]]'', and ''[[Code Geass]]''
*** As for Barbara Goodson... ZOMG! [[Disgaea|Laharl]] is trying to conquer Earth!
*** Funny thing is, Machiko Soga, the actress who portrayed Witch Bandora (Rita Repulsa's original character) in ''ZyuRanger'', voices Rita in the Japanese dub of Power Rangers.
Line 90:
*** Anime dubbing dame [[Wendee Lee]] became the voice of Scorpina (and later Alpha 6 in ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'').
* [[The Scrappy]]: All of the Aquitan Rangers. Rocky for some. Adam and Aisha fare better.
* [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]]
* [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying]]: So much.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: For some reason still unknown to this day, Saban apparently couldn't get their hands on the actual ''Zyuranger'' Dragon Armor and tried to make their own. The problem is, Saban's piece is made of of shiny gold fabric, which looks completely different from the matte gold FRP original.
Line 100:
** The season 3 finale had a focus on each Ranger's heritage, except for Kat, which was focused on herself in the future as an old maid. Tommy's ancestors were [[Did Not Do the Research|California Indians living in tipis]].
* [[The Woobie]]: Ladies and gentlemen, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmlcuY8bOUk David Yost.]
** So, Tommy is [[Brainwashed and Crazy|forced to fight his friends]], victim of an evil enchantment every other day, is forced to fight his clone (the closest this show will get to "[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]" until ''In Space''), ''and'' still keeps fighting. Only in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder|Dino Thunder]]'' do we actually see the implications of this.
 
=== With regards to the Reversioning: ===
 
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: "Green With Evil" parts 3 and 5 are briefly interrupted by "Dance-offs"; the first between Billy and Zack and again between Zack and Alpha. (Some episodes of the first season had a little less than nineteen minutes of runtime, they had twenty-one minutes to use.)
* [[Broken Base]]: The two main camps of returning adult fans are those saying "[[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|they dumbed it down!]]" and those who feel it was [[Cool but Stupid]] [[So Bad ItsIt's Good|to begin with]]. Then there are the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' purists who already know ahead that ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers'' [[Macekre|was adapted from]] ''Zyuranger'', wondering how is it possible to [[Up to Eleven|"bastardize a bastardization."]]
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The inclusion of extra [[Unsound Effect|Unsound Effects]] and other things in the 2010 reversion has caused a massive uproar in older fans that grew up with the original ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' and can't stand to see this happen to their childhood.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: They change Zack's introductory footage in the opening from him performing his Hip Hop Kido (from the episode "Itsy Bitsy Spider") to Jason giving him a boost in a jump (from the episode "Day of the Dumpster").
