- Power Rangers Once & Always premieres in three days! April 19th on NETFLIX! I'm very excited, can't wait! Can it please long ago and long time fans? There are those who never made it past MMPR, and those who've seen every single episode through Dino Fury. Long time fans want lots of questions answered, while long ago fans just want to enjoy the nostalgia and wouldn't care about questions being answered from seasons they never saw. Will everyone be pleased...? So far Once & Always looks fantastic. We'll find out on April 19th! Oh, and I totally meant to mention in the video, tomorrow April 17th at 11:00am ET is a new Hasbro Pulse livestream.

My priority for Once and Always are character interactions.
Forever Red, To The Tenth Power, Reinforcements from the Future and other good crossovers all had great character interactions. Lore and explanations are secondary imho.
Netflix says thank you and the check is in the mail 😂
Wouldn't that be nice!
@@MMPRtoys considering you have promoted their shows, toys and kept the fandom informed and entertained for this long, they should be looking after you. Hopefully this episode is truly a love letter to the true fans like us.
Love episodes where you share knowledge, impressions and predictions. I really enjoy the vlog type videos.
I hope it does good mainly for one reason. So other seasons could possibly have the same treatment. This isn't just for the hardcore fans but the casuals coming back for one shot of nostalgia. I just wish someday we can get something like this for other seasons. You know for the people that did stay and kept watching the rest of the franchise. Like how Sentai does they're 10 (now 20 years) after specials.
Like MST3K taught us - "Just repeat to yourself 'it's just a show, I should really just relax'." 😂
7:52 Its like beast morphers when evox got a new body, her dark side found a new host, and like dogold in kyoryuger
I like to think that Bruno was holding the power coins until they needed to be used again.
Not sure if someone else has said this, but the original American morpher was flipped because in the original pilot, the morphing sequence was different, they pointed the morpher up and out in their right hand, left hand by their side, the right knuckles were pointed up instead of down, thus the morpher toy flip.
Where did you hear that? That's actually the first I'd heard of that. It seems unlikely that toy production would have been based off of the pilot, if that were so it should be Audrey as the auto morphin yellow based on toy production time. Here is the pilot: czcams.com/video/RYEzh4PEsTw/video.html they don't look upside down here. But even if they had been, that should not have resulted in the toy being upside down. I do see what you're saying, but they could still do that morph upside down or right side up.
I think a reason they could have used for Jason in Forever Red was that it was Rocky's Red Dino coin and morpher that was destroyed. I know it was a 'power transfer' but for a split moment in that episode, there were two Red, Yellow and Black rangers. I always liked the idea that Jason, Trini and Zack could have morphed into rangers at any point, just that they were in a completely different location to Angel Grove and to morph there would risk exposure of their identities. The Turbo movie dismisses this idea I guess, but still.
Either way, really great vid Bruno! Enjoyed this one a lot. Keep up the great work
I guess technically it was Rocky's ninja coin that got destroyed... Power Rangers couldn't make their mind up with the coins. The belts still had the dino coins, and Adam's morpher had a Mastodon in the In Space episode, when it probably should have been a frog... yeaaah... not perfect, but for me, it works well enough. It's not a big enough issue that stops me from enjoying the show.
@@MMPRtoys Exactly! There's a lot of small continuity issues that are so easy to ignore because the core content is so enjoyable.
I feel blessed we still get to enjoy new PR content 30 years later and get access to new & awesome merch! Excited for Once & Always and maybe (just maybe) I'll be getting to put together my own PR Fan-Film in a couple of years! (This summer is being spent writing it)
"Why not assume he's always got'em?" EXACTLY!! What if the Sword of Light copied the powers so that Jason, Zack, & Trini still had them? Also, Adam having the busted Morpher with the MASTODON Power Coin...makes sense considering that it was the Ninjetti Power Coins that were destroyed, NOT the old Dinosaur Power Coins.
I'm still holding on to hope that this turns out to be THE best anniversary special (yes, beating both Forever Red & Once A Ranger, because Legendary Battle wasn't great, and Dimensions in Danger was just okay)...the fans need to get a fantabulously AWESOME anniversary special.
I'm just psyched to see the special. Granted, I've watched every season multiple times every consecutive year since MMPR started, so I don't feel the need for much explanation.
Though a few nods would be cool (I think your theory about "Robo" Rita is spot-on), maybe even a throwaway line about Billy being happy with a man who understands him would be great.
In all honesty I've been counting the days, and I just can't wait to see it. 😁
I doubt it'll please everyone. Contrast that to Sentai and Rider diehards who'll eat up anything on their platter regardless of the quality
IKR! And even then people hated certain seasons of Sentai, like Toqger and Gaoranger.
Imagine going back in time 30 years just to show the actors this trailer. Itd mess up the timeline for sure, but imagine their reactions.
I would say Jason, trini, and Zack only shared there powers and still had their coins if need be but I could be wrong
I think that's a pretty good explanation
I have all the seasons on DVD up through Ninja Steel season 2 and I can't wait to see Once and Always
Use glunk to keep your power coin in place and you can morph all you want. Except when you're the Pink Ranger, because too much Pink energy...
I'll watch just for the fun of it. I don't really care about the "lore" or continuity. I'll just watched to be entertain because it's power rangers.
Power rangers was a 30 minute toy ad, the creators have said so, they’re never gonna answer all the questions hardcore fans want because they don’t care enough to. Just enjoy it for what it is & don’t take it too seriously.
"If you're watching this after April 19th then yes I know what happened". 🤣🤣🤣
I don't have high hopes for my little disclaimer, but maybe it'll deter a few people from "breaking" that news to me a few years from now. 😋
One thing I don't think you mentioned was that this special appears to have some time jumps in it as well, and the other thing is with the introduction of the morphing grid and the Morphin masters. But yeah I love your videos like this and love seeing the old toys. I don't have any of the original stuff anymore so I really enjoy getting to see them in hand and some of the differences throughout the years. Haha, heck, I'd pay just to have you bust out the old toys and just show them in depth and listen to you talk about them and show the features. Love your channel and really respect your opinions, and appreciate your love and dedication to the series as a whole
Thanks, yes, absolutely covered time travel most of the times I've talked about the special. Rita specifically mentions time traveling in the trailer. I've mentioned time travel, dimensions, Sentinel Knight, Nexus Prism, Ninjor, Morphin Masters... Power Rangers has done all sorts of things. We had an entire season based on magic. There was whatever it was that happened in Dino Charge when the rangers broke the earth with their energems... at this point, pretty much anything can happen and it wouldn't be too out there. We've got more good toy stuff comin' up!
@MMPRtoys That is all very valid points for sure. Like you said in the video, it could be horrible, but I highly doubt it, but even if it is the fact there has been so much detail already in just the trailer, good or bad I already appreciate this special just for that!
My theory on why the original toy morphers were upside down is because they were based on the original MMPR pilot with Audri Dubois playing Trini. Those morphers were held upside down in comparison to their Super Sentai counterparts. 👍
Wicked breakdown Bruno👌🏼I had to laugh when I saw the morphing sequence cuz I thought of you and the blue tak trick,I hope its a good story but whatever happens its amazing that they're together celebrating 30yrs.
I’m a long time fan and I fall into the “my childhood is back!” Category. In fact, I feel like that whenever i get new Power Rangers media on my television.
i cant wait for the Once & Always this week
ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT!!!!!!!! So excited for this, can't wait to see what they give us, always love your videos, please stay safe and healthy, and Good Night #MMPRtoys #teambrumia #MMPROnceandAlways
I find it quite funny that they clearly used the ZAP toys as a base for the cgi zords, feels like a callback, intentional I hope, to season 2 with the toy power ranger dino zords with the wrong stickers becoming the toy PR version thunderzords during the summoning footage.
catch these hands and you cant keep a bad witch down were my favourite parts lmao
I've heard a lot of random people talk about this special which Is really cool! A parent of a 6 year old: "Hey have you heard they are doing this and this", and quite a few other people that said ah I heard pr is back and that just makes my day
I have seen every episode and loved it
"Sometimes when you morph" lol
I'm very excited for this 30th anniversary special! I hope this leads to more specials and toys in the future.
I’m so freaking excited for this Wednesday to watch the special ⚡️
I'm just happy to see the actors and characters together again in a show I love
I’m so excited to watch Power Rangers once and always🤗
I have been anticipating this! SOOOOO many questions on the back of my head why the mixed cast but in any case, curious how Billy comes back after his 'aging' problem in ZEO.
I am so excited for this special it's going to be awesome.
I’m so excited for this. April 19 can’t come fast enough.
7:10 Tommy did have dino powers in dino thunder 🦕 🖤🙃
Everyone should watch all the seasons. I'd say its better that way.
Well, considering how Hasbro is treating Power Rangers now, we'll have to wait and see.
I'm still waiting for someone to release a truly screen accurate season 1 Morpher with the missing black lightning pieces. Its pretty clear that when they morph they hold up Morphers without them.
Love my legacy Morphers, and i still think Hasbro did a decent job.
If you've got Legacy then you've at least got a screen accurate morpher for the special and some more recent seasons. As for season 1, that's the toy you're seeing, just take the black stickers off. (I think BD15 also makes the "Power Rangers" sticker for that morpher.) I don't think Hasbro will ever perfectly replicate Bandai's toy. That's pretty much what they've already done, they just made it a little bigger and die-cast coins vs plastic. The original Bandai toy was actually pretty cheap, as much as everyone loved it. And it's not even consistent, sometimes they used the American toy out of the box. Jason's morpher in Forever Red has the black bolts. I was just looking at Forever Red, so that's fresh in my head but that's not the only time. It's inconsistent. Easy custom though if that's something you really want.
@@MMPRtoys I need to look into grabbing a few more. They are unfortunately starting to get up in price on the secondary market. I've got 8 or 9 Legacy Morphers and 4 Hasbro Morphers. Thanks for the recommendation on the BD15 stickers.
I had to agree on the Lightning Morpher being the more screen accurate. Like the original props, they made stickers that Power Rangers but were always cut very thin which the Lightning Morpher managed to adapt on the plates
Now we all have PTSD that Bruno is going to punch us in the face with a morpher.
I doubt they'll explain everything. I'm also not expecting casino levels of acting. But just a nice little epilogue to things that back in the early 90's.
It's a shame certain people could be in the special but it seems like they do care. They are putting an effort that seems genuine.
The fact that you have Zack working with Rocky and Kat would have been amazing back in the day.
As to morphers. I haven't had a chance to get a Hasbro one. I just want a normal one that isn't a walmart exclusive.
I meant to post this earlier but CZcams pushed me to the next video so I ended up posting my comment there (nothing to do with PR lol)
I would LOVE magnetic plates that could be swapped out on the morphers. I know changing the plates out with screws isn’t too hard, but it would be so convenient! And especially the damaged morpher and coins!!! I think I need that!!!
I loved watching power rangers but after the second season it was hard to fiend it on tv where I lived so I missed a lot of it
7:28 actually the American version decided to make Rita be mystic mother as the actress who played Rita died and it was a way to honor her *cause the Japanese show super sentai Rita and mystic mother have no connection with each other other than being played by the same actress*
I wanted to see this special so much that I got myself a Netflix gift card for my birthday just so I could see the special while I have been waiting for it I caught up on season 2 of Dino fury that i hadn’t seen cause of not having Netflix and I finished the season today now I have to get through the next 2 days to see the special I started watching when I was 9 and I have been in the fandom all 30 years
I’m going into this with an open mind cause I’m super excited for this episode!
Buuuuuut BrrrUUUUUnnnooo!!! They have to explain this! And That! To our wildly unsatisfied expectations!
Extra credit question - Which Power Sword did Rocky use in the show? Legacy or lightening?
Bruno I am so excited for the special
Interesting 🤔 I like the way you put it together
i'm actually glad that rocky is there instead of Jason so rocky can have more character development especially as a red ranger might not happen because it seems like Zack is doing his job as second in command of the team doesn't matter what will happen in once and always but i will love it. (Bruno and Mia i have been subscribed since i was little and you made me love power rangers even more so thank you and have a good day or night)(age 14)
I'm excited for MMPR Once and Always 🙂
Well it's morphin Time.
I like the hasbro morpher
What I find funny is that Hasbro basically admitted that the Legacy Morphers are better. Otherwise, you use the toy that you also sell
It really surprises me that they went with the Bandai toy when they have their own. I don't think anything was admitted, better is subjective. If you want a weathered look, go with Bandai's. If you want one that looks more like the original, go with Hasbro's. Either would have worked. But, as far as a morpher like Bandai's go, I don't know how you really top that w/o just selling the same thing Bandai already did.
@@MMPRtoys I just mean that when a toy company ISN'T selling their toy, it actually speaks volumes. Maybe it was done because legacy morphers were used as props previously and it's simply a continuity thing, but this is a toy commercial and they're selling a competitor's toy.
Granted, it's probably a calculated risk that normies will just buy the lightning morphers as they're more available.
End of the day, it don't matter, I just thought it was funny.
@@frigginresulrum Same thing I'm saying. No idea why they used the previous toy company when they sell their own version. Though, Hasbro's version isn't really for sale at the moment, outside of the non-screen accurate yellow version. There could be a reason behind that choice, and it could have just been what they had in the prop dept and nobody really thought about it. Stranger for sure.
I think it's going to be totally awesome 👌 ❤ It's morphin time!!!!
No matter what they do you can't please everyone I'm just looking forward to it I'm not worried about wow how did he come back or how did she come back that's what I think I'm just looking forward to it excited
When it comes to mighty morphin, Jason’s powers he never lost them. The three rangers that got replaced their powers were cloned from the originals. So jason,Zack, and trini all still had their powers
Short answer probably not
No, it won't please everyone. Power Rangers fans are a feisty bunch. I remember when Forever Red was such a hot-button issue, you couldn't talk about it on Rangerboard lol
#TeamMia but I’m looking forward to what you have to say!
I'm hype that they got OG Alpha 5 back!
Admittedly back in the day, I only barely watched up to Season 2. It was only when they announced the 2017 movie that I went back and re-watched every season starting from MMPR up to the current series. I can't wait to see Once & Always.
Velcro way more trusted like the Carrier of the mastor Morpher
I cannot wait for the 30th anniversary episode.
I have watched all the Power Rangers so far.
0:02 That's the second time Walter Jones power coin falls off the Morpher during a Morphin call, the second time was Chris Cantada's video with Walter's power coin flying out the Morpher.
I hope Johnny yong Bosch (Adam) has a bigger appearance than what we saw on the trailer.
Yeah, we know he can still fight unmorphed, so maybe they'll have him defending the base.
May I make a suggestion about your shelves in the background. How about printing out the logos from the different seasons of Power Rangers and put them on the wall behind the megazords.
To be fair, your explanation of Rita's return is basically what happened, an overly simplified way of saying it.
I mean screw the critics. This should be for the fans. And critics who claim to be fans are the worst because they know that this is an anniversary special for a show that was cheaply made and used mostly Sentai footage.
I love that it's coming out. I just wish they had more of the first rangers. Still love that Bill is back, though.
I am looking forward to watching this special.
S.P.A. has my intrest peaked.
Thanks for the video.
I always followed the theory that during S2 when Jason and the others left, the power transfer made copies of their power coins and Zordon had their coins disconnected from the grid so the new rangers can use them(and yes I know the 3 actors left prior to recording the episodes so they used suit actors and that is why they didn't remove their helmets or were demorphed). Or even after Countdown to Destruction, they could have gotten back into contact with Ninjor to have the coins reactivated.
And how about this for Hasbro, for a Power Ranger Haslab, doing say, civilian clothing for teams that were completed? They pick 1 set of clothing for the rangers (MMPR 1 then the additional rangers), Alien, Zeo (this one is personal for me but 3 Trey bodies), In Space, Lost Galaxy, Dino Thunder (once Dr. O/DT black comes out), SPD(we are getting Z soon and can do a little sparkle on a stick for Sam), and Dino Charge. For Tier bonuses tier 1 MMPR command center computer circle for Alpha(I nkow you made your 3d model for them this can be an used for something else), tier 2 figure come with determined face and this being facial a yelling open mouth face(most heads are of the rangers smiling), tier 3... the last tier being Bulk and Skull figures (for all of those in the Hasbro chats who chant for Bulk and Skull Lightning figures).
So excited for this comes out on my birthday so going to be a great Wednesday for me
I have one of those morphers, I was even lucky enough to get it signed by ASJ. 😊
I've seen all the seasons up to Mystic force then moved on from the show but kept an ear on what was happening to the series. I did come back to watch RPM which I enjoyed
i'm just hyped for it :)
Bruh the lighting collection has absolutely dropped the ball on making adult replicas of the morphers for the other rangers in the power rangers series
Also hopefully they have a master mode that allows them to use all their former ranger modes
I'm hopefully going to love it
I really really wanted to like the Lightning collection lines, but it just doesn't feel as satisfyingly as the Legacy items but nothing we can really do about that.
I’m almost caught up, I finished the episode where Tommy saved Kimberly before she lost her powers from the capture of Lord Zedd, and the rangers received their new Shogun Zords, so I’m almost done with season 3 of MMPR
I'm ready!!
I'm excited as well.
Excited for it!
My only question is who is running the Juice Bar? Also I won't be able to watch it sadly as my friend cancelled his Netflix account and yes I was using his Netflix account as I can't afford one of my own.
No on/off switch prevented me from buying Lightning Collection Dragon Dagger(even though I love the light up feature and the Dragonzord roar)
Seriously, I love electronics in toys, but I don't like it when I can't save battery power, without removing the batteries completely.
As for Once and Always, I too am excited for it, but I also want it to be good. Since Power Rangers as a brand, has had its ups and downs in each season.
And yes, I watched the other seasons and not just Mighty Morphin. But I still like in-universe explanations for everything. Not just: "they're here for fanservice".
I say in my theory the power transfer just made copies
me so exited to see what this 30th anniversary will bring to.the new and old fans of MMPR and to see what they will do with JDF green ranger
-ITS MORPHING TIME-
Oh man if Hasbro does a Mystic Mother figure would be so darn cool
I'm definitely excited to see it.
I’m a big fan but also can take power rangers for what it is and not expect everything to be explained like it’s League of Legends lore
Awesome video Bruno! I am so excited for Once and Always.
Robo Rita is her evil essence taking form
The show used velcro aha
Rip Tony Oliver
I can't find anything saying Tony died. Where did you hear that?
I'd love to have a short video call with you one day to just talk and share about Power Rangers
It will be awesome but it won't please everyone. This should have been done during Super Megaforce. But Saban dropped the ball! Even in the unlikely event that JDF is somehow in the special not seeing the remainder of the original team hurts. Knowing that Forever Red is the last time we got to see Jason and Tommy on screen together, and the last time them and Kimberly were on screen together was the Turbo movie really sucks.
