** He also discusses fan criticism of the show's last quarter seemingly using fanservice as a crutch, pandering too much to the older fanbase and with no apparent faith in its own ideas. While he understands, as this is a problem he shares with modern Franchise/StarTrek (at least at the time of the video's release), he ultimately disagrees, pointing out that the vast majority of the show ''wasn't'' filled with such references and had already established its own identity over thirty episodes prior.

Added DiffLines:
* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail[[invoked]]: Linkara owns up to the fact he previously and publicly stated he never thought ''Go-Busters'' would ever have been feasible for a ''Power Rangers'' counterpart.
* AssPull[[invoked]]: Brings up the fandom's criticism that Evox [[spoiler:being Venjix]] was just fanservice in order to make an otherwise weak villain more interesting. While he doesn't disagree, Linkara does agree the twist actually does make Evox more interesting, and that he usually enjoys when Power Rangers references their own lore (as long as it has a payoff).
* CallBack:
** When discussing the nonsensical "scientific" explanations for the DNA usage in this series, the "Far too complex for you to understand" clip from the ''Megaforce'' review makes a return.
** Linkara likens Zoey's reporter mother Muriel Reeves having video of the Ranger morphing but not bothering to actually check the footage before planning on airing it to Bulk and Skull doing the exact same thing back in ''Mighty Morphin''.
** Points out the fact Jason getting another Tyrannosaurus Power Coin when he should already have his powers from ''Forever Red'', but [[HandWave hand waves it]] that maybe the powers were lost between then and now, since its happened before in other seasons with other powers.
* CannonFodder: Shows disappointment when the bad guys resurrect the Putty Patrollers and the Vivix, pointing out their terrible track records handling the Power Rangers.
* CaptainObviousReveal[[invoked]]: Calls out the second season for treating Evox being fused with Mayor Daniels as some big reveal, when the season one finale already showed the mayor's hand infected with Evox's evil, purple energy.
* ChromosomeCasting: When the ''Dino Charge'' team first show up for a crossover; Linkara makes a quick, snide observation that all the Dino Charge Rangers to first appear are male (Shelby, the Dino Charge Pink Ranger, does show up later, although only morphed due to alleged trouble with production).
* {{Fanservice}}: Linkara comments that he actually enjoys the fanservice of this season and considers it to be ''Super Megaforce'' done right. As it acknowledges past continuity, pays respect to all sections of the franchise (the crossover episode had representation from the Saban, Disney, Neo Saban, and Hasbro Eras), ties up loose ends from a past season (finishing [[spoiler:Venjix]] for good), and has a character from a previous season use their experiences to help push one of the new characters forward.
** He also discusses fan criticism of the show's last quarter seemingly using fanservice as a crutch, pandering too much to the older fanbase and with no apparent faith in its own ideas. While he understands, as this is a problem he shares with modern Franchise/StarTrek (at least at the time of the video's release), he ultimately disagrees, pointing out that the vast majority of the show ''wasn't'' filled with such references and had already established its own identity over thirty episodes prior. It also helps, in his opinion, that the fanservice was handled far better than in ''Super Megaforce'' (see above).
** He does express disappointment, however, that the Beast Rangers barely get to do anything alongside the dino-themed Rangers, although this was due to the Sentai-equivalent team-up movie sidelining the Go-Busters in favour of the dinosaur teams, as ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' apparently didn't perform well.
** When discussing how he did not think ''Go-Busters'' would make a good ''Power Rangers'' season in his ''Dino Charge'' review, he expressed annoyance that some fans thought it would make the perfect adaptation just because ''Go-Busters'' said "It's Morphin Time!" before their transformation. One bit of fan service as a nod to the original ''Power Rangers'' did not suddenly make the Sentai the perfect ''Power Rangers'' season-to-be in his opinion.
* FlatCharacter: Points out that the weak link this season was its villains; the Blaze and Roxy copies lacked depth and just felt like wasted potential, Evox's general Scrozzle was so dull Linkara struggled to even remember his name, and the only thing that really gave Evox anything worthwhile was the fact [[spoiler:he was secretly Venjix]], and even then that wasn't revealed until the last few episodes.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: At multiple points in the review, Linkara makes numerous references to [[spoiler:Power Rangers RPM]], pointing out the numerous, albeit sometimes superficial, similarities. Most of the time this is done in Linkara's usual, half-sarcastic fashion, [[spoiler:until it's later revealed in the final episodes that ''Beast Morphers'' is a pseudo-sequel to ''RPM''.]]
* HandWave:
** Points out how some fans seemed to take issue with the agency having ''Mystic Force'' morphers in storage, but Linkara figures Udonna probably donated some as the equivalent of empty spellbooks for research (not morphers from the actual Mystic Rangers).
** Is fine with the fact Evox doesn't act exactly like [[spoiler:Venjix from ''RPM'']], noting there could be any number of logical reasons he would act differently over time, in a new dimension, and in a new body.
** Is fine with Jason being given a new Tyrannosaurus Power Coin in spite of getting his powers back in "Forever Red", since maybe the powers were lost or failed in the interim. Is also fine with the ''Mighty Morphin'' team having the original Megazord instead of the Thunder/Ninja Megazord, since he figures maybe the Zords are directly linked to the powers, so old coins equals old zords.
* IdiotBall:
** Calls out Nate for [[spoiler:creating Evox]] by combining old Ranger tech, Morph-X, and ''snake DNA''! However, as baffling as this idea is, he does eventually give it a pass since Nate was a child at the time.
** Calls out the agency for their decision to immediately turn the power grid back on after separating Evox from the mayor, when had they left it off they could have theoretically starved Evox into submission.
* LazyArtist: Was not a fan of the [[TransformationSequence morphing sequence]] this season, saying it felt lazy (being just a colored vortex with a CG of the ranger's animal briefly popping out).
* MilestoneCelebration[[invoked]]: Linkara jokes that although this season was released on the odd 27th year anniversary of Power Rangers (and thus isn't a milestone year) it still did fanservice better than ''Megaforce''.
* PlotHole: Briefly touched on when the season eventually reveals this is their dimension's first set of Power Rangers, why the other rangers would have arrived to share their tech in the first place.
* PowerupLetdown:
** His reaction to the Red Ranger's battlizer, since its power source was [[PowerOfHate inherently evil]] so it had to be destroyed. Linkara notes the "Red Fury Mode" was a completely American creation so required all original footage, before sarcastically adding it seemed like "money well spent" with how little it was used.
** Was a little disappointed when Steel became human because it meant losing his cool voice.
* ProductionForeshadowing: Linkara started up [[https://twitter.com/Linkara19/status/1419905243379290113 a thread on Twitter]] as he watched the show in prepration, and some of the stuff he commented on ended up in the video.
* ProlongedPrologue: Something about this season that ''really'' annoys him, is that many episodes will go for several minutes before finally getting to the theme song. At one point, Linkara notes an episode is already half over by the time they get to it (coupled with the fact he dislikes the theme song in general).
* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: This is the season where he does not like the trope being used. He's fine with the likes of Zordon and Gosei using teenagers because maybe they could sense the potential in their candidates, but a military organization using teenagers as opposed to trained soldiers just doesn't make sense.
* RookieRedRanger: Discussed when Devon is made the leader of the team when he has no previous experience and isn't even a member of the Grid Battleforce agency. That being said, Linkara does also point out Devon quickly steps up for the role and is a good leader, overall.
* ShoutOut: There are a ''lot'' of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' clips in this recap to reflect Linkara's bafflement with the weirder-than-usual WeirdScience that sets the show in motion, particularly its confusing take on [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic manipulation]].
* SimpleYetAwesome: Was a fan of how simple this season's Battlizers were, light armor that was just enough to look like an upgrade without being too silly or bulky. Even Devon's "Red Fury Mode" for how [[PowerupLetdown useless it was in the grand scheme of things]], Linkara was at least a fan of its overall visual aesthetic.
* SpandexLatexOrLeather: Since ''Beast Morhpers'' is the first season not to use spandex, Linkara gives his thoughts on the leather-based Ranger suits. Personally, Linkara likes them, seeing them more of a practical suit.
* {{Spoiler}}: Similar to the Mystic Mother twist; Linkara expresses a bit of annoyance that fans ruined the twist that Evox [[spoiler:is actually Venjix]], reminding his fans he doesn't watch the show until months before he plans on doing his reviews, not as it airs.
* SpotlightStealingSquad:
** Points out the strange happenstance that ''Dino Charge'' gets all the crossovers with this season as opposed to ''Ninja Steel'', which was the preceding ranger team. This is because the Super Sentai ''Go-Busters'' originally came out before ''Kyoryuger'', with ''Ninninger'' premiering a few seasons after (thus completely unconnected with ''Go-Busters'').
** This is also true of the Dino Charge Rangers in general, who seem to get more focus over the Beast Rangers. Especially apparent when the ''Mighty Morphin'' and ''Dino Thunder'' rangers show up creating a clear dinosaur ranger motif, although this was due to the original Sentai footage as Linkara notes.
* SuddenMusicalEnding: The final minutes of the show features a big song and dance number that he doesn't know what to make of, likening it to something out of ''Film/{{Xanadu|1980}}''.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks[[invoked]]:
** [[LampshadeHanging Hangs a lampshade]] on the controversial re-naming of the Gold Ranger's Zord from a rhino beetle to a praying mantis, joking that this is probably just a Power Rangers tradition at this point.
** Talks about his trepidation with the fact Neo-Saban has passed the franchise over to Hasbro, what with Hasbro's less than glowing history with live-action properties. However, this becomes a DefiedTrope when Linkara notes Hasbro was happy to keep most of the old writers on board and they ended up creating a fairly decent season.
** Was not a fan of them bringing back Goldar as Goldar Maximus, since they didn't get the same voice actor, plus them acting like he and Jason have some deep, personal rivalry aside from just being general enemies.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter[[invoked]]: One of his complaints regarding the evil Blaze and Roxy is that they do not take advantage of looking like their friends and using subterfuge and emotional manipulation against the Rangers. Sure, Linkara does note of a couple of episodes that they use it, but he wished they would have more to them. This even extends to the added mutations near the end as he wished they would show remorse and guilt over their actions, or at bare minimum some self-preservation (especially from Blaze after Roxy's demise).
* TimeyWimeyBall: Brings this up when Sledge and his crew return with a vendetta against the Power Rangers since it is confusing with how much ''Dino Charge'' repeatedly kicked the timeline in the balls if the events of that season are even considered to have still happened or if it was all erased when the rangers stopped the extinction of the dinosaurs.
* TroubledProduction[[invoked]]: Brings up the rumor as to why Riley and Shelby only appeared morphed during the ''Dino Charge'' crossover was due to the fact actors Michael Taber and Camille Hyde said filming for Power Rangers was a miserable experience. Linkara even takes a moment to discuss the fact being an actual actor on the show isn't as glamorous as fans may assume it is.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Understands both sides of the agency having a strict "No Dating" rule; on the one hand he points out that not allowing Zoey and Nate to date because it would be a distraction is pointless since romantic tension can be just as, if not more so distracting as what happens one episode during their AlmostKiss. On the other hand, Linkara notes while dating itself isn't a problem, should a couple go through a messy break-up, it could be extremely detrimental to the team.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: He discusses this in regards to why Ben and Betty don't work as comic relief compared to Victor and Monty from ''Ninja Steel''. Victor and Monty were arrogant pricks, which made all the jokes and humiliation at their expense cathartic to watch. With Ben and Betty, who are genuinely nice and loving people, it's less entertaining and makes the audience just feel bad for them.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Dislikes the weaknesses given the rangers due to their powers being derived from animal DNA; not only do they make no sense for anyone who has beyond a first grader knowledge of animal biology[[note]]cheetahs are not afraid of dogs, carrots are not actually good for jackrabbits, and gorillas do not spontaneously combust[[/note]], but they are mostly there just to be comic relief.
* WellDoneSonGuy: What Linkara views as the overarching theme; summed up as "Family". Each of the Rangers are given character arcs that have them trying to make their parents proud, with the two most focused being Devon's relationship with Mayor Daniels and Ravi with Commander Shaw.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While he has no inherent issue with the ''Mighty Morphin'' team using the original Megazord (even though it was destroyed, he figured old powers restored means old Zords), he does point out the Ninja Falconzord was never destroyed and wonders whatever happened to it.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Claims that Steel sacrificing himself in the finale really didn't affect him emotionally, since, throughout the entire series, Steel had always been shown willing to put himself in danger for the greater good since he was a robot.
* WhatTheHellCastingAgency [[invoked]]: While he understands the excuse that the show didn't have the masters of the original voice recordings for the villain ClipShow, he expressed confusion at the dubbing they replaced it with. Of course, Lord Zedd gets a pass since Robert Axelrod has passed away, but why they couldn't have gotten Barbara Goodson to voice Rita or Kerrigan Mahan to return as Goldar was a poor decision, in his opinion.
