History Trivia / PowerRangersDinoCharge

* OldShame:
** Michael Taber (Riley) considers his time on the show as this; saying at a convention in 2017 that while he appreciated the opportunities this show gave him, he discovered that he would rather be behind the camera instead. Conflictingly, in a now deleted Tweet (which Taber admitted to writing while drunk) from just before that convention appearance, he called his time with the show "horrible".
** Creator/CamilleHyde (Shelby) seems to have completely distanced herself from the show, deleting anything Power Rangers related from her social media accounts and not showing up for Power Morphicon 2018 with no explanation even though she was announced months ahead of the event to be attending.
** With that being said, they were apparently willing to do a voiced RoleReprise for the team up with ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'', [[https://youtu.be/vHJ-R5R_s24?t=534 according to Brennan Meija in his react video]], even though they didn't film anything on camera with everyone else.

* IKnewIt: Anyone either familiar with the [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger source material]] or watched the franchise long enough knew that [[spoiler: Ivan was trapped inside Fury]]. It's [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce not unprecedented]] either.
** On the subject of [[spoiler: Ivan]], quite a few predicted that he would [[spoiler: be a medieval knight]] since in the source material, his Sentai counterpart was a samurai.
** [[spoiler: Kendall]] becoming the Purple Ranger after Albert's tenure. ''Kyoryuger'', the casting sides that Saban Brands released, or the color of the glasses were dead giveaways. That and she was MissionControl. [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Cam Watanabe]] set the precedent that those behind the scenes could wind up on the front lines.
** Quite a few predicted [[spoiler: Tyler's dad, James]] becoming the Aqua Ranger. The big giveaway was the scene where [[spoiler: James]] gets crushed by the boulders in the flashback scene of ''A Date with Danger'', since when he got crushed, [[spoiler: a bright aqua light emerges from the rocks that crushed him, indicating he bonds himself with the aqua energem]].
** [[spoiler:A lot of theories surrounding season 2 suggested that Sledge wasn't killed in the crash, and that he would be the GreaterScopeVillain of season 2. Sledge's survival was confirmed via the synopsis for the episode Worgworld.]]
** [[spoiler: One popular theory, thanks to the ending of ''Dino Supercharge'', was that much like ''RPM'', ''Dino Charge'' took place in an alternate dimension from the main dimension. Sure enough, come [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel next season]], that gets confirmed]].

** Several of the monsters in Sledge´s prison appeared somewhere in the past seasons. One of the most obvious is Necrolai from Series/PowerRangersMysticForce in ''Wishing For a Hero'' as she is visible all the while Heckyl clashes with Sledge, and the last of the prisoners trying to escape to be thrown back in her cell. Necrolai also appeared in the episodes ''One More Energem'' ''When Evil Stirs'' ''Forgive and Forget'' and ''Forged Under Fire''.

* NamesTheSame:
** Kendall shares her first name with Danny's love interest in two episodes of ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce''. Her name is very similar to Kendrix Morgan, the first Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger who was also a scientist. An interview with Judd Lynn, however, says that the two are unrelated and that he didn't realize the similarity until he was told.
** Ivan shares his with the main villain from ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie''.
** ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' also had an episode titled "A Date with Danger" (the one where [[DatingCatwoman Zhane and Astronema go on a date]]).
*** In Space also had an episode called "The Silver Secret", another Zhane-focused episode.
** Hilariously, {{Creator/Disney}} may no longer own the franchise, but they have a {{WesternAnimation/Moana}}.

** In the Latin American Spanish dub, all of Creator/JoseLuisOrozco's children have major roles in that dub. Luis Fernando voices Chase the Black Ranger, Andrea voices Shelby the Pink Ranger and [[Creator/AlejandroOrozco Alejandro]] voices Sir Ivan the Gold Ranger.

** In addition to José Luis Orozco voicing Keeper in the Latin American Spanish dub, all of his children have major roles in that dub. Luis Fernando voices Chase the Black Ranger, Andrea voices Shelby the Pink Ranger and Alejandro voices Sir Ivan the Gold Ranger.

* TeasingCreator: Before the Aqua Ranger's official debut, scattered throughout the season were various minor characters with cyan motifs[[note]]Tyler's missing dad's shirt [[spoiler:(he turns out to be the one)]], The Dino Café waitress serving the Rangers as they discuss the Ankylo Zord, Julian the photographer with his inner T-shirt, the snatch thief in New Zealand with his bike and [[spoiler:Heckyl with his SkunkStripe and innerwear.]][[/note]]

* WordOfGay: In December 2020, Michael Taber would reveal that not only did he interpret and play Riley as gay but that he also had a crush on Chase.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/PowerRangers Enough for its own page]]

** Several of the monsters in Sledge´s prison appeared somewhere in the past seasons. One of the most obvious is Necrolai/Vancuria (difference unclear) in ''Wishing For a Hero'' as she is visible all the while Heckyl clashes with Sledge.

** Camille Hyde (Shelby) seems to have completely distanced herself from the show, deleting anything Power Rangers related from her social media accounts and not showing up for Power Morphicon 2018 with no explanation even though she was announced months ahead of the event to be attending.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Early casting calls show that Riley was originally named Ryan, Tyler was originally called Lucas, and that Kendall was going to be called Kiera. All three were changed due to [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue being]] [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce previously]] [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder used]].
** Riley's brother Matt was originally the Graphite (then called Gray) Ranger, rather than Prince Phillip.
** Early in the show, the Dino Charge morpher was hacked and one of the voice clips was for a Talon Ranger, many assumed that the Deathryuger/Kyoryu Navy suit was going to appear in the show as that Ranger and Heckyl was hinted at obtaining those powers. It's been theorized that the reason this fell through is because production was unable to get the rights to the suit (things that appear only in Sentai movies have to negotiated separately unless they happen to appear in-show, like with the Spinozord which happened to be Deathryuger's Zord) or they didn't have the budget for it having spent it getting the rights to Snide's suit which was also movie exclusive.
*** The suit did end up showing up in an unexpected way: as part of a new team of Rangers in the [[ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios comic]] following the events of [[ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersShatteredGrid Shattered Grid]], unsurprisingly wielded by Heckyl.
** For a while, it was speculated that Saban might attempt at adapting ''Kyoryuger vs Gobusters'', due to using Snide's suit (which comes from that movie), suggesting that Saban had the rights to the footage, as well as the fact that it featured the sentai counterparts of 2 of the most popular ''Ranger'' teams, ''Mighty Morphin'' and ''Dino Thunder''. However, it turned out ''Gobusters'' would end up having to still be adapted before adapting the film.

* PropRecycling:
** Several of the monsters in Sledge´s prison appeared somewhere in the past seasons. One of the most obvious is Necrolai/Vancuria (difference unclear) in ''Wishing For a Hero'' as she is visible all the while Heckyl clashes with Sledge.
** The retreating monster Heckyl kills in ''When Evil Stirs'' has the head of Dumbbell Bot from ''RPM''
