History Fridge / PowerRangersRPM

** Among the establishments that Fresno Bob's mob extorts is [[''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'' Jungle Karma Pizza]]. That may not have been possible if Pai Zhua master RJ was in charge. So either (1) the pizza place has a franchise in Corinth and the one in Ocean City is toast, (2) the pizza place moved from Ocean City to Corinth, (3) Jungle Karma Pizza was created differently in this alternate timeline. Either way, it's likely that there's no RJ in Corinth.

* We often go straight to Zord battles due to how the ground battle footage from Go on her can look more silly barring any edits or original action they film. In universe, it makes sense that Venjix would mix it up with full on attacks and skip straight to beginning the download, trying to bust the shield right out the gate.

* Kilobyte being there when Dillion escapes Venjix’s lair might explain how he got lost in the wasteland as he had clearly been pursuing the renagade hybrid.

* Their presence of the mob Ziggy was once part of in Corrinth makes sense, since they'd be able to smuggle in supplies official channels would have trouble with. Not letting Ziggy become a full member because he failed his driving test seems silly... until you realize they're trying to avoid getting taken down on a FelonyMisdemeanor (a la Al Capone and tax evasion).

* How does Venjix return to his column every time a body he downloads into is destroyed. It's programmed into the body, or even himself, to remotely return to his pillar in his lair if anything would happen to it. This also explains what might of happened to Venjix in the finale, Dr. K possibly flagged his return location to Ranger Red's morpher instead of his lair. And because Venjix isn't present in his castle, the whole operation shut off.

* In the episode "Ranger Blue" there's a little flashblack to Flynn taking a bus back out of the city to rescue a woman's young daughter. Seems nice, until you think about the fact that she was selfish enough to get on the bus herself, leaving A FIVE YEAR OLD girl behind.

* We often go straight to Zord battles due to how the ground battle footage from Go on her can look more silly barring any edits or original action they film. I’m universe, it makes sense that Venjix would mix it up with full on attacks and skip straight to beginning the download, trying to bust the shield right out the gate.

* In the fourth episode, "Go For the Green", Hicks is scanning Tenaya at one point, telling her his scanner has been giving him false positives in Venjix hardware. Now, yeah, of course it would go off when scanning Tenaya, but [[spoiler:we learn much later on that Hicks is a hybrid, and the city is ''full'' of them and none of them will know until Venjix throws the switch. Guess those weren't false positives after all...]]

* Why is it so perfect that in the end, [[spoiler: Venjix]] gets taken out by a building? Power Rangers had spent 17 seasons being dropped or kicked into buildings because of monsters and it was time for the buildings to get some payback.
** Especially considering the lampshading and deconstructive nature of the season as a whole.

* [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]'s off-hand comment about morphing explosions being a side-effect of a massive energy discharge when the Rangers morph (said during his "WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers" retrospective) is confirmed in-universe (see LampshadeHanging on the main page).
** Speaking of Linkara, he brings up two about the mob Ziggy was once part of:
*** Their presence in Corrinth makes sense, since they'd be able to smuggle in supplies official channels would have trouble with.
*** Not letting Ziggy become a full member because he failed his driving test seems silly... until you realize they're trying to avoid getting taken down on a FelonyMisdemeanor (a la Al Capone and tax evasion).

** Not necessarily, not all biological siblings look alike, this troper has a friend who has a sister who looks nothing like her, and has been told by several people that his own (full blooded) biological sibling looks nothing like him.

** Nice theory, but it makes more sense in the context that K created the RPM Power Rangers rather than Power Rangers as a whole. Remember in one episode, the [[spoiler: Red Overdrive Ranger's helmet is found in the rubble, implying that ranger teams from the past have tried to attack Venjix]].
*** Buuuuttt, it was found in the "discarded tech" area, which might indicate it was "prototype", and technically not used in the defense.
* This might have been obvious to others, but my moment of Fridge Brilliance occurred during ''Power Rangers RPM''. In it, the normally brilliant Dr. K created some very funny looking zords (half-machine, half-animal, with "big, googly, anime eyes" according to Ziggy). I realized during the episode "Dr. K", she's brilliant but emotionally stunted. She was essentially kidnapped and kept in a think tank by a secret government group called Alphabet Soup "hence the Dr. K thing, she has no name that she can remember." She had no childhood, and is still acting like a little girl. She dresses in a school uniform, wears goofy bunny slippers, and since she was locked indoors nonstop (they told her she was allergic to sunlight), she brought the outdoors inside by making the zords look like animals.

* A lot of people seemed rather depressed regarding the FridgeHorror at the state of the world in ''Power Rangers RPM'', thinking the previous generations of Rangers died at Venjix's hands, then I came to a sort of realization about something. Even though Corinth is touted as the last "bastion of humanity" left on Earth, one has to wonder why Venjix assaults it with less than what he possessed when he began his campaign. He took over the entire Earth and thus, has full access to all its resources, so why isn't he slowly building up his powerbase and sending the full brunt of his armies to topple the opposition? Clearly, he is expending his resources on something else, maybe Corinth isn't alone in the world, as a few episodes demonstrate the existence of human life outside the city, maybe Venjix is dealing with other human uprisings around the globe. And, if it is to be believed ''RPM'' takes place in the same continuity as the rest of the series, maybe the previous generations of Rangers are leading these resistance groups, also, take into consideration Earth's numerous alien allies and well, Venjix is surrounded by enemies on multiple fronts, so the fact he is assaulting Corinth with less than his optimum capacity may not be as far-fetched as we think.
** It does make sense. With Venjix in control of everything, communication is probably a lot harder now than then. How would someone in Corinth know if there was another human civilization on the other side of the world? Or even the country? It'd have to be shielded like Corinth, or ''very'' well hidden, to escape the purge, after all.
** Makes sense that Venjix is attacking on several fronts. Though it has been confirmed that this is an Alternate Universe, it's not so far-fetched to think that AU Adam and co. are leading the charge from a different side of the world.

** The aversion is of course Ziggy, whose powers is teleportation. A power like teleportation takes a lot of concentration, thus it should have gone to someone who can focus well in high intense situations. Ziggy, of course, does not have this level of concentration so thus he tends to have strange things happen with his powers, with comedic effects of course.
*** However, teleportation is also a good ability for someone who needs to make quick escapes - which Ziggy as both the least-experienced fighter (and thus the one least likely to be able to dodge) and someone who is ''on the run from the mafia'' would find fairly useful!

* Only one city on Earth left means every past character you ever liked (well, outside of Time Force... and Billy, still on Aquitar) is likely a smudge on the pavement.
** It helps that WordOfGod confirms that RPM takes place in an AlternateUniverse, so everyone is a-okay.
*** And now there's talk of [[RetCon retconning]] RPM into the main 'verse, so everybody might indeed be confirmed dead (sob).
*** {{Jossed}}, thankfully. The one saving grace of "Clash of the Red Rangers" is now that where RPM stands is made clear onscreen: it is now definitely in another dimension.
*** From Samurai. Doesn't exactly mean much unless you know what dimension Samurai's in...
*** Considering the fact that Bulk is in Samurai, it's pretty clear where it stands.

** Damn, that one about Corinth paints a particularly bleak culture in the city. Explains why people still value money and such (as demonstrated in Ranger Yellow), they're all clinging to the past and trying to deny the fact that Corinth might very well be the last bastion of humanity.

** Looking at the attitude of the military in the "Ranger Yellow" ones, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that they forced the mother to enter and leave the daughter behind

** To be fair, in the early parts of the show, we see that some gang members are in fact in jail (and none to happy with Ziggy).
** It's possible the military allow the gangs to operate inside Corinth because they don't have the resources to stop them and defend against Venjix attacks at the same time. Also the organised gangs are the population element most capable of forming an effective opposition movement to the current military government if they ever cooperated long enough so having them involved in feuding amongst them selves serves it's purpose.

** It could also be that, going along with the self-referential humor of the episode, Flynn is kinda pointing out that he's the first ever Ranger who actually is shown to be Scottish.
** Also, Flynn's designation as Ranger Blue may be random at first, but what's the main color of the Scottish flag? Blue.

* RPM takes place in an alternate timeline, where the RPM Ranger Series are the very first Ranger team, ever. There is no back-up, no crossovers with outside teams within their own universe, but more importantly, no frame of reference for the things that tend to happen around Power Rangers. So what do people do when they see the Power Rangers in action? They ask the same questions that viewers have asked since the start of the series: what's with all the sparks? Why is there an explosion when we morph? What's the morphing call for? Why are we wearing spandex?
