Welcome to Ranger Reviews, a webseries where we look at episodes of the tv show, Power
Rangers and then discuss it!
Today, we're exploring the hundred and fifth episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as
well as the forty fifth episode of Season 2, titled "Return of the Green Ranger Part
2".
We begin this episode back in the 1700s where there's still a witch hunt being conducted
for the Rangers.
In the barn, the girl reveals her name is Marissa, and she introduces herself to everyone.
Billy explains that they're being accused of being witches because they're different.
I'm surprised they haven't tried to sell Aisha yet, jesus Christ.
They say they can explain everything to Marissa.
Anyway, Tommy and Tommy are arguing with one another about… actually, pretty much nothing.
On the moon, Rita comes up, and Zedd tells her that the green ranger won't fight fair.
There's no mention of how the others are technically dead in present time, but okay.
Zedd is so happy, he starts to just dance with Rita for absolutely no reason.
In the barn, we cut back with Billy says "basically, that's everything".
What the hell did he say?!
Marissa wants to know what Angel Grove is like in the future, and basically, the Rangers
are screwed.
They can't get in touch with Alpha or Zordon for obvious reasons.
Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull are spooning together asleep in the park, and they wake up, freaked
out because they remember a wizard that has a lizard face.
So wait, that thing Rocky said wasn't wrong?
That's supposed to be a lizard face??
Tommy and Tommy keep talking while Alpha looks on the viewing globe to see the two Tommy
in front of each other, but neither one is looking at each other.
Masking be damned.
Alpha also can't find the other Rangers at all.
The Wizard shows up, and the two Tommys morph, becoming the White and Green Rangers.
Yes, this is what I came for!
There's a fight that's not amazing, but it's made better by it being White vs Green
before Green goes to the Wizard's side.
In the past, two soldiers are creeping around a corner while the teens inside try to contact
Alpha and Zordon.
Then, Skull as a soldier shows up, claiming that Marissa is going to get punished for
this.
Whatever, back to our White Ranger versus Green Ranger fight!
Glad we're not pretending to care about the others too much.
The Wizard then says "this is getting boring", so he zaps good Tommy, making him demorph.
He then tells the Green Ranger to use the Dragon Dagger to call out the Dragonzord,
and then he gives him a Power Coin, like he could've morphed at all in the first place
without it.
Billy decides it's time to explain everything to these soldiers.
Then, in the Command Center, the evil Green Ranger shows up, using footage from literally
episode 18 of this show.
Zordon demands answers, but the evil Ranger isn't giving them.
Meanwhile, Zedd and Rita are still dancing.
Then Zedd suggests that after the White Ranger is dead, they should have a baby, and this
freaks out Rita, understandably.
She then runs to Finster, telling him that the potion is working too well.
She needs a potion to make Zedd forget about the baby idea, and Finster says "oh that
sounds charming", and Rita yells at him until he starts making another potion.
In the past, Kim says "I don't think they bought your story", and they all run away
with Marissa while the soldiers follow.
This scene goes on for like 4 solid minutes because it's clear they've run out of
content for this episode.
Then, a horsedrawn carriage is going down a dirt path, and Marissa says that they have
to get in because it's her Uncle Ben's.
Turns out, Uncle Ben is Bulk.
Also, Billy is just being a damn manspreader, so Rocky can't sit.
In the Command Center, the Green Ranger talks trash to the Zordon, and he says that history
is repeating itself wherever the other Rangers are, but then he leaves.
Alpha and Zordon realize this means that they've been sent back in time, so Alpha starts searching
for them by starting at the present day and working backward.
I mean, chances are they aren't being sent back to like yesterday.
By a pond, the wizard laughs for no reason while the Green Ranger decides he should call
out the Dragonzord.
In the past, the ranger teens and Marissa are at Uncle Ben's cabin.
Aisha complains that Rocky's foot is tickling her back, and she freaks out because it's
actually a rat.
Then the Wizard is just there standing on something in the front yard.
Did no one notice him or….?
He decides that since she hates rats, he's going to make horrible looking giant rat monsters.
They attempt to morph, but they can't do it because they don't have their powers….
Yet they have their communicators?
Whatever, they run away with the townspeople while the Wizard just makes stuff explode
for no reason.
In the present, the Green Ranger calls out the Dragonzord, which begins to rise from
the depths and splashes construction workers on the pier.
On the moon, Zedd talks about how the Power Rangers are finally history.
To be continued.
This isn't the worst Part 2 we've ever had, and honestly, at this point, I'll take
it.
I was expecting it to be SO much worse than what it was.
Seeing the Green Ranger and White Ranger fight is pretty cool, and the use of the Dragonzord
makes me realize that the Dragonzord was never destroyed or anything.
The parts in the past aren't anything to write home about, but to be honest, they could
be worse.
You know what is worse?
Those giant rat monsters?
Yeah, those were the original monsters meant to be used in the movie.
You can see why they cut them out and replaced them with something else instead because they
look cheap as hell and absolutely terrible.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this episode!
Surprising!
How will this three parter end?
Until next time, may the power protect you!
