History Trivia / HistoryOfPowerRangers

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Linkara's lack of proper knowledge of Super Sentai can come back to bite him when he has to note something as to the reasons stuff in the Sentai footage or stories that are adapted are as they are and people tell him details secondhand, though sometimes can also happen for ''PR'' proper too.
** ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'':
*** ''Turbo'' did not almost end the franchise. Ratings were down since the third season of ''Mighty Morphin'', ''Power Rangers in Space'' was being planned before the second half (where the ratings started to go up for the first time since the decline in season 3) even began filming. The updated review removed this line.
*** In the revised version of the review, Linkara questions why Saban couldn't just skip ''[[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]]'' and just adapt one of the pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons, pointing to ''[[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Jetman]]'' as a possible candidate. The deal Saban, now Hasbro, has with Toei states that they cannot skip a ''Sentai'' season ([[Series/ResshaSentaiToqger save for one]]) regardless of what that season contains. The reason why Saban/Hasbro can't adapt pre-''Zyuranger'' seasons is because the agreement was for ''Zyuranger'' onward, and even if the deal ''had'' allowed them to use a prior Sentai, they would've still had to use ''Carranger'' footage at some point if they wanted to move onto ''Megaranger'' footage[[note]]That being said, he still does have a point, as Saban did still have unused footage of the core 5 from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger''; while this would likely still have required them to adapt the Carranger mecha, as the ''Dairanger'' mecha had been used for the Thunderzords (which were destroyed), the sillier scenes on the ground from ''Carranger'' could have been replaced with ''Dairanger'' footage and spliced in with ''Ohranger'' and ''Carranger'' footage similar to ''Mighty Morphin'', since Saban was allowed to adapt ''Kakuranger'', despite the fact that the core 5 suits from ''Dairanger'' were not used, and ''Dairanger'', ''Ohranger'', and ''Carranger'' all featured the same color set for the core 5[[/note]]. The later ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'' basically got around the issue of an unsuitable Sentai by ignoring the Sentai footage as much as possible.
** ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'': In the character analysis portion of the video, Linkara erroneously states that Xander moved to Briarwood from New Zealand. Xander is actually from Australia; as is his actor, Richard Brancatisano. He made this mistake about Xander two more times during his reviews of ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'' and ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'', and only time will tell if he'll make this mistake again when he remakes his ''Mystic Force'' review.
** ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'':
*** In his video, he claims that the pre-''Power Rangers'' suits used in the ''Gokaiger'' footage that was used in the episode "The Wrath" were from the first five Super Sentai series. While [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan VulEagle]] (the only one to be replaced in that scene) was from the fifth ''Super Sentai'' series, the rest of them[[note]][[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman Blue Mask]], [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman Green Flash]], [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Change Griffon]], and [[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman FiveYellow]], if you are curious[[/note]] were from later series[[note]]the actual reasoning behind the choice of suits in ''Gokaiger'' was that they were the five teams whose Ultimate Powers had been stolen by Basco ta Jolokia earlier in the series[[/note]]. ''Super Sentai'' fans were not happy with this mistake. [[note]]After he had to reupload Part 5 due to copyright issues, he proceeded to put some text that corrected this mistake.[[/note]]
*** He states that Octaroo (rather his counterpart Shitari) appears in the ''Shinkenger'' tribute episode. That's inaccurate. The Gokaigers have a cameo in the ''Goseiger vs. Shinkenger'' movie (a common tradition to introduce the next team in the team-up movie) where they show off their powers by killing Shitari. The main series [[ArcWelding welded]] in this cameo by revealing that they traveled back in time thanks to [[Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger Time Yellow]].
*** At one point, the team morphs into the core ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers MMPR]]'' costumes, but gets their asses kicked by the monster of the week. Linkara calls it an embarrassment to the original team, but it was direct footage of ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' -- which wasn't supposed to be celebrating the anniversary of ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' or MMPR anyway -- meaning it was just another Gokai Change.[[note]]Granted you could argue Linkara's point in that the US production team were aware Super Megaforce was a celebration of MMPR and since they had copies of the original costumes, could have filmed their own footage paying a greater homage to the original Dinozord themed suits.[[/note]]
** He claims that "Powers from the Past" from ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' is the first episode of Power Rangers to have zero Sentai footage. This is false, as the show had twelve Sentai-free episodes by the time ''Lost Galaxy'' started, and even more since then. Amusingly, Linkara acknowledged this error by making a comment pointing out the error a featured comment on the site's comments and added an annotation to the Website/YouTube version.

** In a more humorous example, at the end of the ''Beast Morphers'' review, Linkara admits that he'd wanted to give Scrozzle, Evox's general, various insulting nicknames such as "scrotum" or "scrabble." This didn't pan out because the character was so dull Linkara ''legitimately'' couldn't remember his name.

** In another case of TropesAreTools, Linkara has elected, since the re-edit of the ''Lost Galaxy'' review, to combine all of the previously multi-part seasons into 1 longer video as opposed to a few to several shorter videos. This provides a more seamless presentation and can easily lead to less videos needing to be re-edited in the future to deal with copyright claims.

** As of this post, the full reviews of ''SPD'' don't seem to be available on any streaming service, and Lewis has yet to re-upload it to Youtube's current standards. Thankfully, it can be found on archieve.org [[https://archive.org/details/atop-the-fourth-wall-the-history-of-power-rangers-spd here]].

** A rather minor one, but his episode reviewing ''Megaforce'' was scheduled for release on December 24th, 2015, but due to the [[http://atopthefourthwall.com/history-of-power-rangers-delay/ sheer volume of work the episode was requiring from him]] had to be pushed back to December 27th, instead. It's the only time this has ever happened, since it was only one of three seasons that actually had scheduled release dates to begin with. He actually makes a nod to this when he announced his remastered release of ''Turbo'', which came out in late February, 2017.

** In a [[http://atopthefourthwall.com/state-of-the-wall-1-27-18/ State of the Wall]] update post, Linkara said that ''[=RPM=]'' has the same problem as ''In Space'' as it requires a cover to the song "How Far We've Come" from Matchbox 20 and there's no official word of when that will be released. Because of that, he has decided to start back at ''Lost Galaxy'' and get those re-releases done until the covers are completed.
** The ''Ninja Steel'' review was moved to early June while originally being slated for a May 24th release due to Lewis's busy schedule.
** ''Beast Morphers'' video was originally set for July 29th, but had to be pushed back due to the editing process looking like it would take a while. Additional editing issues pushed it from late July to August 3rd for Patreons and August 4th for everyone else.
** He was supposed to have 4 of the re-edited HOPR episodes (for ''Time Force,'' ''Wild Force,'' ''Ninja Storm,'' and ''Dino Thunder'' presumably) out for April 2022, but unfortunately was unable to do the last 2 due to some ''Atop the Fourth Wall'' episodes taking longer to produce than he expected, so he decided to only get the first 2 out in the second half of the month and will get back to the other 2 at a later date.
** The ''Dino Fury'' review ended being the most delayed episode of the lot. First, it was planned to be out by later November, but it was pushed back when Linkara failed to watch all the episodes due to other obligations. Then, December came and he finished watching them, but did not start editing due to the holidays. Then January 2023 came, and the nighmarish post-production of Winter of 83' came along making Linkara fall behind further. It's now up in the air when in 2023 he will ever release it, and given that History of Power Rangers has no release schedule compared to Atop the 4th Wall (on top of the fact he was way behind in 2022 schedule wise), it could be a long time before he gets to completing the episode.

** In the 2022 [=YouTube=] re-edit of ''Wild Force's'' episode, Linkara mentioned how this was somehow [[AvertedTrope averted]] for the original 2010 version of it, where he was somehow allowed to play the entire 2-minute explanation of how the Anamarium and Wild Zords exist uninterrupted on Blip, despite friends of his not being afforded the same luxury by the site for other projects when it came to copyright and fair use enforcements.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, Linkara planned on retaining the "Under Pressure" montage for the ''In Space'' remastered video. However, [[http://atopthefourthwall.com/state-of-the-wall-2-1-19/ he eventually decided]] to scrap it due to the amount of wait he had to do for the cover, and that when ''In Space'' was released, it would be without the montage. When the second part of the remastered retrospective was released, a different montage was in its place; highlighting the seasons before it mixed with an "in memoriam" to Zordon.
** In a more humorous example, at the end of the ''Beast Morphers'' review, Linkara admits that he'd wanted to give Scrozzle, Evox's general, various insulting nicknames such as "scrotum" or "scrabble". This didn't pan out because the character was so dull Linkara ''legitimately'' couldn't remember his name.

*** In the review of ''Gokaiger''[='=]s first five episodes, he questions why the Gokaigers' transformation into the Magirangers in their respective tribute episode had an elaborate sequence when they already transformed into the Magirangers in the first episode with little fanfare. The more lavish and show-accurate transformation sequences into past teams are usually reserved for tribute episodes, even if they've transformed into them before.
