History Fridge / MightyMorphinPowerRangers

* It seems a bit silly that, in the movie, the Ninjamegafalconzord's "in case of emergency" button initiates a GroinAttack, right? But then again, it's actually very appropriate for the Power Rangers. They all about HonorBeforeReason, so it makes sense that they wouldn't use a GroinAttack except in the most dire circumstances.

* A news report reports that all the parents in Angel Grove mysteriously disappeared at once. Didn't anyone notice a huge crowd of hypnotized people marching through the streets?
** The city was already evacuated when they showed up. Previously, the victims were all confined to the factory and the construction site.
* How did the Tengu know exactly where the Rangers were on Phaedos, and then exactly where Ivan was when they reported back?
** Ooze could likely sense the Rangers and told the Tengu where to go, and as the Tengu creator he probably had a way for them to find him when their mission was done. A better question would be how the Tengu managed to fly all the way to Phaedos in roughly the same time it took the Rangers to teleport there.
* How did Ivan know about the Black Plague, Spanish Inquisition, etc. when he was trapped in that egg?
** He must have read about them.
* Why did the Rangers wait until night to inspect the construction site? For that matter, why did they have to waste time and go to the Command Center for briefing instead of being briefed right there? I mean, they had just skated through it.
** They were already far from there when they were summoned to the Command Center.

** This also happened in the "Gosei Sentai Dairanger" movie when the Mythical Chi Beast RyuseiOh showed up to prevent the Duke of Trumps from burning the cards he turned kids into and he didn't even turn giant yet.

* In "Always a Chance," it seemed as though Adam was seriously considering using his broken Power Morpher even before Carlos was in trouble, and his reassuring Alpha that it was "just a thought" sounded very much like a lie. On top of this, his apparent desire to be a Ranger again doesn't make a lot of sense if he and the other original Turbo Rangers really gave up their powers in order to "move on with their lives." However, it does makes a lot of sense if the Millennium Message was the real reason they gave their powers to [=TJ=] and company. Adam was a shy kid who suddenly became a superhero; this must have been like a dream come true for him. Then, a few years later, he had to give up his powers BecauseDestinySaysSo. Thus, he risks serious injury in order to become a hero again.

* Season 3's Pink Ranger power transfer is interesting; Kimberley is able to pass her powers to Katherine in ''A Different Shade of Pink'' simply by giving her the Crane Power Coin, which as pointed out in ''WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers'' is odd because to do the same in the previous season required the Sword of Light. Why it's possible here and not there could be because a few episodes back in ''A Ranger Catastrophe'', Kimberley's direct connection to the Coin was severed and rerouted through the other five Rangers to keep Rita and Zedd from gaining it. At this point, it ''would'' be as simple as handing the Coin over to her successor, because there's no direct connection to be transferred with it.

* Trini's fear of heights in "High Five" may seem unreasonable, given in "Day of the Dumpster" she jumps high off the ground into her zord but she was morphed when she did that and is unmorphed when she has to face her fear. It seems that morphing not only builds confidence but takes away fears and doubts in general. This makes sense with an unmorphed Kimberly panicking when she has to fly a plane in the episode "Foul Play in the Sky" despite flying a pteradactyl on a regular basis. (Plus it's also explained in "Day of the Dumpster" that pilot knowledge comes with morphing) And As seen with Billy, despite having no fighting skills, becomes more skilled and confident when morphed. Also in the episode "Something Fishy", Rita had to enhance a morphed Billy's fear of fish with magic to make him fear the Goo Fish despite establishing he had a fear of fish already.
* In ''Return of the Green Ranger'' the Clone!Tommy boasts that he's even stronger than White Ranger Tommy. Remember that the Green Ranger powers were recharged three times before being completely drained. Of course they'd be stronger with all that accumulated energy. It also helps explains why Tommy would use his Green Ranger powers again in ''Series/PowerRangersSuperMegaForce.''

* Zedd destroys the Dinozords by plunging them into molten lava...why did this work when two of the Zords ''rise out of lava when summoned?''
** Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they were actually destroyed (otherwise they'd've had nothing to make the Thunder Zords from later). I thought the point was to encase them in the Earth, like Rita did with Titanus before that.

* Here's another one regarding the Dinozords: if Zordon and Alpha upgraded Titanus with Ninja Zord tech, why couldn't they salvage the Thunder Megazord, restore it to it's original form, and upgrade it and the Dragonzord as well? Then they'd have ''two'' enhanced Megazords, or an Ultrazord and an enhanced Megazord, to throw at their enemies.
** The Thunderzords were ''destroyed''. There's no way of knowing if Zordon (at that point) knew how to repair zords that had been that thoroughly trashed. Titanus on the other hand, had been in perfect working order, just sitting around doing nothing. Besides, with the original dino coins broken, the Thunderzords had no power source. Titanus appeared to have it's own power source.
*** That seems like a stretch considering that the Thunderzords were formed by reshaping the Dinozords on a molecular level. And since Series/PowerRangersZeo is the follow up to MMPR, that means Zordon had that holding bay for the Zeo Zords, including the repair equipment, this whole time. Not to mention that whenever the Dinozords got damaged, they just needed to recharge and they were fine. Also, the rangers got the Shogunzords switched to the new coins pretty easily, so the older zords could've been switched over as well.

* In Season 1's "Different Drum", the monster's plan is to lure the Rangers in by kidnapping children and then using his music to brainwash the Rangers. So why does he spend time attacking them as opposed to playing his accordian for them the minute they arrive?
* In Season 1’s “A Bad Reflection on You”, when news gets out that the Rangers have turned bad, Bulk and Skull cheer them on, which gets them a DeathGlare from the real Rangers. Looking at it from an In-Universe civilian’s point of view, you realize they not only deliver it because they ARE the real Rangers, but because of how disgusted they are that these two buffoons would cheer their city’s beloved protectors turning bad.

* One of Zordon's rules for being a Ranger is not to escalate a fight (IE, summon a Zord) unless Rita forces them to (IE, making a monster gigantic). An early episode, ''Big Sisters,'' has the Rangers form the Megazord in order to save a little girl from Rita before she even considers making her monster grow. [[FriendToAllChildren So, don't kidnap kids in Angel Grove.]]

* To some, having "Tom Oliver" make an appearance won't make sense. Until people looked up the Aramaic origin of the name "Tommy" which means "Twin". Made even funnier when David who showed up in Zeo also resembles Tommy a lot.

* The Ranger's habit of destroying Rita's monsters becomes a bit more disturbing when one thinks about it for a moment. Yes, they are evil. Yes, they are initially sculpted from clay. But, they are also self-aware living things. They aren't mindless automatons like the Zords. In other words, the Power Rangers are essentially committing murder with absolutely no remorse for their actions.

* Trini's fear of heights in "High Five" may seem unreasonable, given in "Day of the Dumpster" she jumps high off the ground into her zord but she was morphed when she jumped into her zord and is unmorphed when she has to face her fear. It seems that morphing not only builds confidence but takes away fears and doubts in general. This makes sense with an unmorphed Kimberly panicking when she has to fly a plane in the episode "Foul Play in the Sky" despite flying a pteradactyl on a regular basis. (Plus it's also explained in "Day of the Dunpster" that pilot knowledge comes with morphing) And As seen with Billy, despite having no fighting skills becomes more skilled and confident when morphed, also in the episode "Something Fishy", Rita had to enhance a morphed Billy's fear of fish with magic to make him afraid of the Goo Fish despite establishing he had a fear of fish already.

* The Hydro Hog is apparently the Alien Rangers' BigBad back home, but is destroyed by the Shogun Mega Falconzord. Remember that the Shogun Mega Falconzord ''isn't'' part of the Alien Rangers' natural arsenal, it was on loan from the Earth Rangers and was in fact their MidseasonUpgrade, so it being too powerful for him to handle.

** Its canonicity is questionable but Alpha's Magical Christmas has him bringing children all around the world to the command center to celebrate Christmas with him. Alpha 5 and Zordon are kidnapping your children. And some of the songs are specifically Christian. Alpha is forcing a religion some of these children probably don't even celebrate.

* The Rangers from Aquitar received their powers from Ninjor and used the footage from NinjaSentaiKakuranger. That means they were [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Alien Ninjas!]]. No. [[UpToEleven Alien Ninja Power Rangers!!!!]]

* Angel Grove developing a rapid evacuation thing in order to cut the body count wasn't done because the writers believed kids can't handle death. Rather, it is a justification for how Angel Grove still has a population in spite of all the destruction.
