History WMG / HistoryOfPowerRangers

!!Once and Always & Cosmic Fury
* For Once and Always:
** He will be happy to see Billy and Zack again, the former because it features David Yost appearing after the behind the scenes drama from ''Zeo'', and the latter since Zack was his favorite of the original five.
*** Confirmed.
** Although Linkara will be disappointed that Austin St. John, Amy Jo Johnson, and Jason David Frank did not return, he will explain why and understand the situations they were in. On the flip side, he will be happy that Steve Cardenes and Catherine Sutherland resumed the powers as it let to a mixture of representatives of the first three seasons.
*** Confirmed.
** He will express confusion how Aisha is around due to the time travel shenanigans during the Zeo Quest, but he will admit that it's not the worst thing Power Rangers has done to science.
*** Or he'll point out that she would have aged naturally since she only went back like a decade so it's not a big deal.
*** Jossed.
** He'll get a hoot out of the "Too much Pink energy" line.
*** Oh Linkara got more of a hoot about that line. He had a complete mental breakdown over it.
** He'll like how there are some references from the original Mighty Morphin seasons that caters to the older fans, such as Zack's Hip-Hop Kido routine, though he will admit that some of the younger fans will not get them.
*** He touches a bit on this in his opening speech about nostalgia.
** While he will be shocked at how Trini died, he will respect how they treated her sacrifice and how this special was dedicated to Thuy Trang.
** Like many fans, he will not be fond of the [=CGI=] Megazord fight as it looked cheap.

* For Cosmic Fury:
** Linkara will bring up how the fandom was not happy how Hasbro handled adapting Kyuranger (using original suits instead of the ones in the sentai), but he will remind people that seasons 2 and 3 of Mighty Morphin did the same thing and how production decides to use the Sentai footage is up to them.
*** Confirmed.
** He will be surprised to see Amelia as the Red Ranger, but he will not mind it and give praise to having a female Red Ranger lead the team for the majority of the season (While Lauren and Charlie were female Red Rangers in the past, the former only led the Samurai Rangers briefly while the latter led another team of Rangers and not the main one).
*** Confirmed.
** He'll point out how Zedd's voice actor was changed due to fan backlash
*** Confirmed. And he also calls out the toxic fans for doing so.
** Since this is the final season, he'll end the video with one big tribute to the franchise.
** He'll either hate the suits or justify them as Billy having limited time and resources.
*** Jossed. Linkara loves the suits.
** He will be shocked to see Javi lose his arm and like that they took time to address the difficulty of using his new robotic limb at the start.
** He will comment how Fern became the first Orange Ranger and express surprise that it took thirty years to get that color.
** Much like how Cosmic Fury was the grand finale of the original Power Rangers continuity, the review of the season will be the finale of History of Power Rangers, barring the reboot series being a possible Patreon request.

4.Series/PowerRangersDinoFury (Like Time Force, Linkara feels that the season is a little overhyped with a weak first season and too many lore additions that makes it feel that the series is trying to pander to the older fans. Still, Linkara considers Dino Fury a strong season with great characters, sympathetic villains, the return of [[spoiler: Lord Zedd]] and a much improved second season).\\
5.Series/PowerRangersTimeForce (Despite being overblown by the fans and oodles of time travel plot holes, there are good villains, great acting, strong action, time travel themes, and almost all the characters are interesting).\\
6. Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers (Despite nostalgia value, too many fillers to place it any higher).\\
7. Series/PowerRangersZeo (Triumph and another step forward with more complex magic/technology balancing, but growing pains with the machine empire, some writing issues, and of course, character flatness keep it from placing this season any higher on the list).\\
8. Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy (For its strong themes and character development as well as a mostly solid story after it got going, but numerous behind-the-scenes problems hit the show hard).\\
9. Series/PowerRangersSPD (A recommended series, with good character development, a good storyline, and villains... but not all the characters got the development, and a decent bit of time was devoted to discussing technical problems)\\
10.Series/PowerRangersJungleFury (Great rangers, interesting lead villains, fantastic kung fu action and great character development with good acting. However, it still carries some technical burdens, has some writing issues, and the story, while interesting, wasn't as well developed as say Lost Galaxy).\\
11.Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge (While not a groundbreaking season, it's still great season that fixes all the problems Megaforce had: better villains, story arcs that go somewhere, and ''actual'' CharacterDevelopment. However the finale is very confusing timeline wise.).
->12.Series/PowerRangersWildForce (Underrated with excellent team ups, a fantastic theme song and complex villains, but with a very iffy story and plot points that felt translated from the original ''Sentai'').\\
13.Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue (Decent with good characters, cool zords, and a different feel compared to other seasons, but its hit hard with a lack of good villains compared to In Space and Lost Galaxy).\\
14.Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers - (While Linkara didn't say how he felt about the season, he considers it a step forward from Ninja Steel due to giving development to every Ranger, having some decent crossover episodes, and having a huge improvement of fanservice compared to Megaforce. However, it's bogged down by a bad theme song and mediocre villains.)\\
15.Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel - (Overall, Ninja Steel is mediocre at worst, but average at best. The plot is simple, not many characters get too much development even though they are likable, there's no real dynamic villains, and there's an overuse of gross out humor).\\
16.Series/PowerRangersMysticForce (Like Ninja Storm, good when great, bad when bad, with less likable rangers then annoying ones, a sub-par theme song and too much focus on the world-building. Even so, Linkara gave it an overall recommendation).\\
17.Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm (A "flawed" series that is great when good, awful when bad, and has only one good villain out of a much larger stand alone evil group).\\
18.Series/PowerRangersSamurai (A bad season filled with cultural mistranslations, bad acting, parental and ChildSoldier issues with the main rangers, a mentor InNameOnly, unsatisfying subplot conclusions, and a main villain that's even less intimidating than Lothor. However, it still has good moments such as the opening music, the HD resolution, the teamup, and the return of Bulk and concluded that it's at least watchable).\\
19.Series/PowerRangersTurbo (Until Operation Overdrive, this was, in his opinion, the worst season ever with a destruction of the old order in a horrible way with a stupid archenemy, and no easily identifiable theme. Still, it did still have great music, fights, an epic ending, and even some ambitious episodes)\\
20.Series/PowerRangersMegaForce (Suffering MASSIVE backlash from being the 20th anniversary season, Megaforce as seen by Linkara isn't so much bad as it's lazy. With bad acting, only 1 character arc, too many continuity issues to count, poor writing, anticlimaxes, and overall, just a bad experience. Despite this though, his least favorite is still...)\\
21.Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive (Bad music, bad pacing, mixed acting, kallish-splosion addled fights, a horrible teamup, and bad characters, though with some redeemable qualities such as Spencer, the [=iMack reveal=] and some nice back story for the 6th ranger).

* He'll mention that the producers originally wanted to adapt either ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'' or ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'', and speculate what it would have been like if ''Dragon Knight'' had been successful and they had adapted other KR series, looking at clips of both series. And he'll be irritated when he sees that in ''Faiz'', the TransformationTrinket is a cell phone (maybe even making a few puns about it being a Smart Phone, given that it's made by Smart Brain), but then happy when he sees that in ''Blade'', it uses cards.

** Although Linkara will be disappointed that Austin St. John, Amy Jo Johnson, and Jason David Frank did not return, he will explain why and understand the situation they were in. On the flip side, he will be happy that Steve Cardenes and Catherine Sutherland resumed the powers as it let to a mixture of representatives of the first three seasons.

!!Setai predictions

** From the first episode alone, he'll make a ShoutOut to ''Film/ANewHope'' (the scene where Redbot and Brody escapes via the garbage chute, he may even compare Redbot to [=C3PO=]), ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' (Sarah's hoverboard), and ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' (Victor and Monty's introduction, he may compare them to Gaston and Lefou).

** He will be surprised to see Amelia as the Red Ranger, but he will not mind it and give praise to have a female Red Ranger lead the team for the majority of the season.

[[WMG: Linkara will end the Once and Always/Cosmic Fury video with "And that was the history of Power Rangers"]]

* ''Dino Fury'':
** He will bring up a lot of comparisons to ''Dino Charge''.
*** Might even note the lack of a yellow ranger this time, noting that while ''Dino Charge'' also lacked a yellow, the suits had a significant amount of the color. Alternatively, might note that you can also refer to Gold as "Metallic Yellow", so he counts the Sixth as an unofficial Yellow ranger.
*** Might get annoyed that they have yet another gold ranger for the Sixth, noting that all the post-''Megaforce'' series have had a gold Sixth, and note that of the skipped Sentai, only one of them ([=LuPat=]) had a Gold Sixth, but even then only technically had one since said Sixth was also a Silver Ranger.
*** He doesn't really bring it up
** He'll praise the use of suits vs CGI in the mecha battles.
*** He gives the suit credit for being more active than the usual bulky suits
** Due to his admitted love for King Arthur lore he'll love the knight theming.
** He'll note how the zords have Lego connectors, and make jokes out of it.
** Might note that this is the shortest amount of time since the previous Dino Sentai (''Dino Charge'')[[note]] 5-year gap since the end of ''Dino Charge'', whereas there was an 8-year gap between the end of ''Mighty Morphin'' and the start of ''Dino Thunder'', and a 12-year gap between ''Dino Thunder'' and ''Dino Charge''[[/note]], and might note that while he doesn't pay attention to the source material, there were similar complaints of how recent the theme was for Sentai fans[[note]]''Zyuranger''-''Abaranger'', roughly 10 years; ''Abaranger''-''Kyoryuger'', also roughly 10 years; ''Kyoryuger''-''Ryusoulger'', 6 years[[/note]].
** Will probably compare this to the 4 series (''Toqger'', ''Zyuohger'', ''Kyuranger'', and ''Lupinranger vs Patranger'') that have been skipped so far, and might speculate on why ''Ryusoulger'' was chosen instead, noting ''Kyuranger'' was made with involvement from Bandai of America so it would be awkward for Hasbro to adapt said season;, the train theme of ''Toqger'' wouldn't have appealed to American kids (might also bring up his note about the train episode in ''Megaforce''), and might speculate that while ''Zyuohger'' and ''[=LuPat=]'' both have themes that have been used before (animals and cops) that dinosaurs were seen as more appealing. He might also speculate if Toei has a different contract with Hasbro than the one they had with Saban and Disney. Given that the next season will be airing by the time his episode comes out, he might say "But I'll talk about the adaptation of (insert whatever season is adapted after ''Ryusoulger'' here) next episode" if Hasbro opts to adapt one of the skipped ones next as opposed to moving onto ''Kirameiger''.
*** He might note that [=LuPat=] would be a bit ackward given today's climate, and bring up the fact that ''Kyuranger'' had too many rangers in Hasbro's eyes. He also might say what one he would've chosen if he was in charge (not going into too much detail aside from "It's a pity that one didn't get chosen, it would've been neat").
** Will note that this makes Dinosaurs the first theme all 4 eras have a team themed around. Might also note that all of the skipped Sentai have also been for teams that were used in the past[[note]]''Toqger'' has vehicles (''Turbo'' and ''RPM''), ''Zyuohger'' has animals (''Wild Force'' and ''Jungle Fury''), ''Kyuranger'' has space (''In Space'' and ''Lost Galaxy''), and ''Lupinranger vs Patranger'' has a team with cops (''[=SPD=]'')[[/note]].
** He'll joke about after ''Beast Morphers'' having leather suits, the series is back to Spandex, saying "Doctor K must be pissed".
** Might comment on the fact that Hasbro announced what Sentai would be adapted before the name of the series was revealed, noting that while he didn't check out the Sentai, it does show a difference in how Hasbro operates from how Saban operated.
** He might note that Saban's original contract with Nickelodeon that Hasbro inherited expires during the show's runtime, and might comment on if Hasbro opted to stay with Nickelodeon or jump ship to Discovery Family. If the former, he might get irritated that they're restricting themselves to 20 episodes per season. If the latter, he'll compare the situation to ''Wild Force'', noting that the circumstances were completely different.
*** Since the show is moving to Netflix, he'll probably comment on whether or not this was a smart choice, and how this will impact this series going forward.
*** He points out that it's too soon to really tell how it'll impact the series.
** He will comment on how Izzy is the first female Green Ranger in the series, as well as how she's the first [[Main/ShesAManInJapan genderflip]] since ''Wild Force''. He may or may not wonder why ''Dino Charge'' didn't do the same thing with one of its Rangers, seeing as the Purple Ranger had such little screen time.
*** If he gets to the iconic skirt rip scene, he will comment something like "I guess that's one way to match Sentai footage".
*** Jossed but he does snarkily wonder if she has to do that every time she morphs.
*** He'll be happily surprised at the revelation (if it wasn't already spoiled for him) that she's the TV shows' first canonically gay character and that the show and characters in-universe don't make a big deal out of it.
** He'll be annoyed that the theme song has been forced to be around 30 seconds by Nickelodeon mandate.
*** If his comment about the theme song in the Beast Morphers review hints at, Linkara cares more about the quality of the music rather than the length. He might bring it up again if need be.
*** He calls the theme song worst than Beast Morphers.
** He'll theorize about various teams the Morphin Masters could have had a hand in creating.
** He'll joke about Void Knight being Mr. Freeze after seeing what's inside his locked room.
*** He plays a clip from BTAS of Mr Freeze during the scene.
** He'll snark about the forced Gen Z lingo. Possibly showing a clip of Izzy saying "cringe" and responding with "She's not wrong/You got that right."
** Will probably note that there's no team up for the first time in a while, and might speculate on what it could've been.
** He'll wonder how Mucus, a Sporix Beast, was active throughout the whole show without growing giant when every other beast grows giant when they are active for less.
** He might ask why Void Knight never bothered to tell the rangers that he wanted his lover to awaken.
** Mostly likely Linkara will talk about how Dino Fury had the misfortune of filming during the Covid-19 pandemic.
** He'll say that while he understands the obvious reason why he'll still be upset Zedd had a new voice.
*** He discusses in detail why he finds the new Zedd voice disapointing.
** He'll consider Void Knight a great change from previous villains due to his motivations
** Will compare Zayto unleashing the Sporix Beasts to Dr. K creating Venjix/Nate releasing Venjix, commenting that its the second season in a row where one of the team is directly responsible for the villain's rise to power.
** When commenting on the revelation about the Sporix, he'll make a callback to the "You're rich, buy an army!" joke from Operation Overdrive, commenting that maybe that's not always the best idea.
** He'll like how the reveal of [[spoiler:Santaura and Void Knight being Amelia's parents]] was handled, commenting that the hints were much more subtle than in previous seasons with similar twists.
*** He praises the story arc for these reasons.
** He'll wait until ''Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury'' wraps up to release the video, combining the two series into one retrospective.
*** He's mentioned that Cosmic Fury will be its own video.
** The video will have a "in memorium" message for Jason David Frank.
*** The video indeed begins with one.

** He will declare the PR version of the Kyu Weapons to be the best in the franchise, since they are guns by default, but they take his line of "Guns that transform into swords are awesome" up to eleven, since they can also transform into [[RoyalRapier rapiers]], [[BladeOnAStick lances]], axes, [[WolverineClaws claws]], [[SinisterScythe scythes]], [[AutomaticCrossbows crossbows]], and knives.

Series/PowerRangersWildForce - He didn't seem too fond of Merrick, calling him the lamest sixth ranger yet.\\

Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers - Again, hard to say as Linkara never outwardly disliked any of the Rangers. But by default, it would probably be Zoey because she gets the least development.
