History YMMV / MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: The Dark Rangers. Most fans dislike the show's first attempt at creating a group of [[EvilCounterpart evil Power Rangers]] in Season 2 of ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Mighty Morphin']]'', generally agreeing that the franchise didn't truly figure out how to make the concept work until the Psycho Rangers were introduced in ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''; due to budget constraints, the original Dark Rangers were just a group of teenage bullies [[WTHCostumingDepartment whose costumes looked laughably cheap]].[[note]] Since they were an original concept with no basis in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' at the time, the ''Power Rangers'' production staff had to design and create their own Dark Rangers costumes on a severely limited budget. The results were about what you'd expect.[[/note]] But the comic book notably revisits the concept in issue #51, taking advantage of its lack of budget limitations to put a markedly different spin on it. The result is a storyline where Zedd turns his minions (including a Putty duplicate of Rita) into a ''new'' team of Dark Rangers--giving the show's OG villain team a truly memorable set of color-coded variant costumes. Most fans absolutely '''loved''' the visual design of the new Dark Rangers, particularly since the highly diverse alien physiologies of Rita and co. give them a degree of visual variety that most other Ranger teams lack.

* UnexpectedCharacter: In the 2018 Anniversary Special, [[spoiler:[[Series/PowerRangersSPD Anubis "Doggie" Cruger]] shows up and reveals that Astronema is the reason his race was wiped out because they refused to fight for her.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: The Justice League Crossover is this, considering that Creator/MarvelComics [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Power_Rangers_issues_(Marvel_Comics) used to publish issues]] of the ''Mighty Morphin'' comics, and that prior to Saban taking control of the franchise again, both ''Power Rangers'' & Marvel were owned by Disney following Disney's acquisition of the later.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Combined with BrokenBase, despite how good the comics are, some do not consider whatever happened in the comics as canon as long as it never happened in the TV series.

* ArcFatigue: ''Beyond the Grid'' was criticised by fans for this, due to it being a nine-part story that emphasised more on exposition. It didn't help that the post-''Shattered Grid''/pre-''Necessary Evil'' run of ''ComicBook/GoGoPowerRangers2017'' was better received than this due to the interesting storylines such as the colour swap and Alpha 1.
* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** One of the biggest missed opportunities in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' was not using Deathryuger of ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'', even though a some foreshadowing in ''Super Dino Charge'' involved Heckyl being connected to the Dark Energem and part of his outfit having a similar color to the suit. The ''Beyond the Grid'' storyline corrects this by turning him into the Dark Ranger, giving him an origin story explaining how he became a Ranger, and explaining ''why'' this hadn't been done before, namely he lacked a morpher and had to build a custom one to handle the Dark Energem, and that it took Zenowing purifying the powers with his HeroicSacrifice to prevent Heckyl from simply transforming back into Snide.
** Because of ExecutiveMeddling on Jonathan Tzachor's part, much of ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger's]]'' footage with the unadapted Sentai teams remained in ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Megaforce]]'' with hardly an explanation beyond not being seen on Earth, meaning these unadapted teams had been shoehorned into canon, one of many reasons many felt the show was a disgrace of an anniversary. With that in mind, at least one of said unadapted teams is now, at least in the comics only, properly adapted and explained: [[spoiler: ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman'' as the Supersonic Rangers from [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Trip's homeworld Xybria]]. Even better, not only do they explain their absence in the present day, but use them to provide the backstory of one of the comic's own OriginalGeneration, Psycho Green from the 1969 story!]]
** After fans were unhappy with the overall ''Beyond the Grid'', mainly due to focusing on a different team than the titular team, ''Necessary Evil'' brought back said team.
** With the exception of Ranger Slayer, the CanonForeigner characters have had at best a lukewarm response. Come Necessary Evil, people have responded much more positively to the likes of Dayne and Kiya already.
* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Lord Drakkon. Some view him as a terrifying example of what [[spoiler:Tommy]] could have become that hits closer to home than most Ranger villains, while others see him as a painfully overdone [[spoiler:evil knock off]] who doesn't tread any new ground.
** Ellarien. Some fans see her as a weak and bland character in addition to considering her as a CreatorsPet for Marguerite Bennett and that her Ranger form could've been given to an existing Ranger for ''Beyond the Grid'' such as Karone, while others find her an interesting character in her own right.
** Ellarien's close friend (revealed to be girlfriend) Remi also falls into this with some finding her to be a great character, while others just find her to be a weak character whose potential was wasted.
* BrokenBase:
** Issue #20 of the main series. For some, it brings some interesting revelations and some really dark moments to the series. For others there's too much to complain about, mostly the hurried pace of the issue which drives to the ground any attempt of originality, without time to flesh out anything. The talk about minorities struggle comes out [[{{Anvilicious}} flat and forced]], the characters [[spoiler:who die]] barely connect to the reader [[spoiler:and end up as SacrificialLamb]], and the whole thing just looks like the worst kind of DarkerAndEdgier which is just for cheap drama rather than the type the comic has been [[RealityEnsues praised for]], even the fight [[spoiler:against the Green Psycho Ranger]] looking boring.
** The ArtShift in the main comic looking noticeably less detailed on the character design aspect, resembling more the early ''ComicBook/GoGoPowerRangers2017'' style.
** The post-''Shattered Grid'' team has been mixed. Some fans are excited to see what's next with such a drastically changed gameboard and a brand new team to deal with. Other fans are upset that, for a series called ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers'', there is a decisive lack of the titular team and the idea they should be front and center no matter what. Even if many people support having comics for other teams of rangers, the fact the team consists of seven rangers from six different teams and an OriginalCharacter is even more divisive.[[note]]Specifically, the team consists of Kimberly Ann Hart from Lord Drakkon's timeline as the Ranger Slayer, [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Cam Watanabe]] as the Green Samurai Ranger, [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Heckyl]] as the Dark Ranger, [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Tanya Sloan]] as Zeo Ranger II Yellow, [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Mike Corbett]] as the Magna Defender, [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Andros]] as the Red Space Ranger, and [[OriginalCharacter Ellarien]] as the Solar Ranger.[[/note]]
** Fans are seriously divided on the grand reveal of Drakkon's ultimate plan and motivation in the final issue of ''Shattered Grid''. Some say it makes sense and is a satisfying conclusion, while others insist that [[spoiler:after killing endless innocents and committing countless atrocities, the reveal that Drakkon wanted to feel loved but could never fill the void in any meaningful way, ''combined'' with the fact that he never actually receives a solid defeat from the Rangers themselves ''and'' that they simply hit the universe's reset button]] was massively underwhelming and borderline insulting.
* ClicheStorm: The Lord Drakkon storyline hits many AlternateUniverse beats, with a hero turning evil and conquering the world, familiar side characters heading a resistance, visiting parties stepping in for their dead counterparts, and a final battle that resolves the conflict with the visitor's help. Thankfully it's well written enough so that many readers don't mind.
* CompleteMonster: [[HeroKiller Lord Drakkon]] is an EvilCounterpart of Tommy Oliver who chose to serve Rita Repulsa instead of joining the Rangers, assisting her in conquering the world and destroying the Power Rangers, with him personally killing [[spoiler:Zordon, Jason and Billy]] and becoming a White Ranger after stealing their powers. [[BastardUnderstudy Killing Rita after she taught him magic]] and ruling the world in her place, Drakkon also brainwashes a vengeful Kimberly to uses her as his Ranger Slayer. Defeated due to overconfidence, Drakkon ends in the main world and is incarcerated by the Promethea Company. When Saba tries to execute him, Drakkon kills him and uses his remains to create portals to [[spoiler:kill the Tommy of the main world]] before searching Ninjor and tricking him into rebuilding his Morpher to recover part of his powers, before imprisoning and brainwashing him. In a crossover with ''[[WebVideo/PowerRangersHyperforce Hyperforce]]'', Drakkon beheads one of the hostages to force them to help him to get the Serpentera before heavily injuring one of their members while they try to avoid it. [[MultiversalConqueror Invading the worlds from multiple series]] to get their Morphers, Drakkon kills multiple versions of himself until almost defeated, saved by his loyal servant Finster 5, who Drakkon [[BadBoss kills]] after Finster tells Drakkon, [[UngratefulBastard for his own safety]], to stop empowering himself. A cruel tyrant secretly envious towards his counterparts, Lord Drakkon destroyed the multiverse to create a world where [[ItsAllAboutMe everyone loved him]].
* EvilIsCool: Rita and crew are ''much'' more competent and terrifying here than they were in the original. And they look good while doing it.
* EpilepticTrees: For a time, people thought the shadowed figure appearing on the wrap around cover art of Shattered Grid was either [[Series/UchuuSentaiKyuranger Chameleon Green]] from Kyuranger or Camille from ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury''. It turned out to be the Ranger Slayer[[spoiler:/Kimberly Ann Hart from Drakkon’s timeline]].

* GrowingTheBeard
** Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers started with a great reception but the comic really becomes more than just a DeconReconSwitch and more of its own thing after the appearance of the Black Dragon.
* HarsherInHindsight: [[spoiler:Zenowing's death during a flashback in Issue #35 becomes this as days later his voice actor Alistair Browning would pass away after a battle with cancer]].
* HesJustHiding: Several fans felt that Adriyel survived being blasted by the Rangers in the conclusion of the colour swap storyline. Just a day after it came out, Ryan Parrott confirmed that they haven't seen the last of her in a tweet and her survival was confirmed in the ''Necessary Evil'' run.

* JerkassWoobie: Goldar in the main comic has a shade of this, as seen when Billy points out that enemies of enemies are friends, that Goldar's chained up (even if it's by his own volition) and that Rita may not feel such loyalty for Goldar as he feels for her. Goldar is clearly taken aback, and his facial expression when he says "My empress knows the value I provide. In time, she will remember. She has to." reads less like evil warrior and more like a guy who just wants to belong, be of use, and is genuinely loyal but pledged his loyalty to the wrong person.
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Subverted by issue #25 - [[spoiler:they really did kill off Tommy! Though he would be revived at the end of the story arc.]]

* OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow: The ultimate defeat of [[spoiler:Lord Drakkon in ''Shattered Grid''.]]
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: ''Beyond the Grid'' had a lot of good potential on being a great storyline, only to end up being an exposition-heavy storyline that falls under ArcFatigue.
* ToughActToFollow: Given that ''[[ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersShatteredGrid Shattered Grid]]'' proved to be a huge critical and commercial success, this was going to be inevitable for ''Beyond the Grid'', especially due to the lukewarm reception of said storyline, with fans finding the plot confusing due to more emphasis on exposition along with a SlowPacedBeginning, [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot wasted potential]], underdeveloped characters, not much action, and feeling that it could've worked better if it was a separate series than part of the main ongoing.

** Although many people have considered the possibility of the comic going into events covered in later seasons, ''no one'' was expecting one of the [[spoiler:PsychoRangers to show up in the part of the series set in 1969, much less an ''OriginalGeneration'' Psycho Green]].[[note]]This is largely due to the fact that there was no [[spoiler:green ranger]] in ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' or it's source material, ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger''[[/note]]
** The appearance of [[spoiler:[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy TERRA VENTURE]] in Issue 21]], as the base of operations for Promethea.
** The wrap around cover for the "Shattered Grid" event shows [[spoiler:[[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger Chameleon Green]]]], though now it's assumed to have just been an EasterEgg.
** The first cover revealed for Issue #31, which also kicks off a new arc, includes [[spoiler:''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge the Talon Ranger]]'']] which many thought would never be brought over due to rights issues.
** In the 2018 Anniversary Special, [[spoiler:[[Series/PowerRangersSPD Anubis "Doggie" Cruger]] shows up and reveals that Astronema is the reason his race was wiped out because they refused to fight for her.]]
* TheWoobie:
** Tommy's somehow gotten it even worse than he did in the original show. He's brainwashed, assaulted with hallucinations of Rita and destruction that affect his relationship with the rangers, and everything that happened along with his secrecy beforehand cause major trust issues among the team, causing constant doubt in and out of combat. [[spoiler:And then he gets KilledOffForReal by an alternate reality future version of himself.]]
** While everyone on Drakkon’s world qualifies, Kimberly the Ranger Slayer deserves special mention. Not only is she a front seat witness to the fall of the Rangers, but she watches many of her friends die and when she decides she’s had enough, she recklessly storms Drakkon's lair only to be brainwashed into his personal assassin. She only breaks free after being stranded in the past of the main universe, having to take the long path to the main fight. Once she joins the fray, she’s way too ashamed to talk to the Trini of her world even though they’re the only two surviving rangers left from their team. And while Drakkon is defeated, she gets shunted with a bunch of strangers into an unknown dimension ruled by a ruthless emperor, basically having traded one despot for another.
*** Coinless Trini, as she lost most of her friends, and as far as she knows, Kimberly is still BrainwashedAndCrazy, leaving her the SoleSurvivor. There’s also some dark meta irony as in the real world, it’s the reverse.
** Heckyl, after all he went through in Dino Charge, is so desperate to protect his homeworld and prevent it from falling to Arcanon this time around that he betrays Zenowing to make his own morpher using the Dark Energem. He defeats Arcanon but at the cost of Zenowing's life when the latter sacrifices himself to save Heckyl from being corrupted again. He’s so ridden with guilt that he feels he now can’t return to the peaceful world he fought so hard to protect. He only leaves his self imposed exile when he receives Zordon's distress call to fight Drakkon, and he’s rewarded by being shunted into a different dimension.

** While the ongoing comic series is praised by fans and critics, the ''Pink'' miniseries have divided fans, with some liking the idea of Kimberly having her own miniseries taking place during season three of the series, while others feel it is lackluster.
** The revelation with ''Pink'' #5 that [[spoiler:Zack and Trini are a couple]] broke the base even further. Some appreciate them as a couple while others dislike the idea, feeling they are StrangledByTheRedString.

* {{Misblamed}}: Some fans blamed Kyle Higgins for the ''Pink'' miniseries. However, what they don't know is that Higgins has no involvement in the miniseries, which he said when talking to fans on Rangerboard. Brenden Fletcher and Kelly Thompson wrote the first two issues and plotted the last four which were written by Tini Howard.

* ScapegoatCreator: Fans who didn't like the ''Pink'' miniseries would tend to blame the writer, Brenden Fletcher, although he co-wrote the first two issues and only co-plotted the last four.
