*As Samurai revealed RPM was an alternate universe, and not set in the distant future, this one is confirmed.

** So,as far as [[TheChick Chicks]] go, she's par for the course. I suppose that it would make a good twist, but it may feel too much like [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]. And I guess we don't really know what technology Dr. K had back then, but I'd assume they would have regular checkups.

They thought Dr. K should start by figuring out one of the [=AIs=] (specifically, Venjix's), since he could tell them a lot more. Then they could move on to things like advanced weaponry and growth technology. This... [[Main/TurnedAgainstTheirMasters did]] [[Main/AndManGrewProud not work]] [[Main/EverybodysDeadDave as]] [[Main/ApocalypseHow well]] [[Main/WhatAnIdiot as]] [[Main/ShootTheShaggyDog planned]].

* Furthermore, if Rita was never released, then she never became the Mystic Mother, which may have made the Mystic Force rangers unable to defend Briarwood from The Master and his fellow magical villains.

This will take some explaining: All previous Ranger teams don't exist.

This will take some explaining: All previous Ranger teams don't exist. \n We can be fairly sure of this. So why?

[[WMG:The nail between the RPM timeline and the main timeline is that Rita was never released.]]

This will take some explaining: All previous Ranger teams don't exist.

If Rita was never released, the original MMPR team is never recruited. Lord Zedd is never humiliated by Rita's failures and thus never comes to Earth in the first place, likewise meaning Master Vile and Rito never come.

We never learn why Mondo made his power play, but with Zedd on Earth and weakened from battling the Rangers, he may have seen it as a perfect time to attack. If Mondo never breaks away, he never comes to Earth.

Divatox has no reason to come to Earth as no Rangers are there to seek revenge on, and may have freed her monster husband and became a far greater threat, but still never launched a full, long term attack on Earth.

As for what happened during In Space, two things may have happened: Either due to not having their butts kicked by the Rangers and thus having to swallow their pride and admit they CAN'T win on their own, the United Alliance of Evil remained a disconnected collection of rival villains still conflicting with each other as much as the forces of good, or Zordon still escaped, went to his home world when it was invaded, but due to not having a Ranger Team back on Earth he can rely on as a back up (as he never had to recruit one), he has himself killed then and there to release the Z-Wave as a last resort, wiping out the Alliance. It's possible both happened, or Zordon was killed trying to stop the Alliance but their own infighting kept them in check.

Scorpius and his forces never leave their own galaxy, so Earth never interacts with them. Terra Venture may never even exist, as Earth doesn't have any interaction with aliens at this point.

The Lightspeed Rescue Demons still exist, but may actually have WON and rule Mariner Bay as Evil Overlords in constant battle with the US military barely being contained. Why? It's a common fan theory with some WordOfDante support that the Lightspeed Powers were reverse engineered from the wreckage of the Turbo Zords...which don't exist in this timeline.

It's very possible ALL the post Zordon Era Ranger teams no longer exist for the same reason: the ability to access the Morphing Grid died with Zordon and humans never learned how to by reverse engineering the wreckage of the old Zords.

The Wild Force Team potentially, but they could easily just be like the Ancient Warriors, who lacked Ranger forms, and thus may have LOST, leaving the Orgs to rampage unchecked.

Thus humanity was already fighting a losing battle with multiple villain factions who no longer have heroes to oppose them (Ransik and Mesogog don't exist, as the future Ransik comes from wouldn't and Mesogog only exists because Tommy became a Ranger)...enter Alphabet Soup: humanity's desperate effort to unethically create weapons to battle these villains, becoming more desperate when Lothor arrives and steamrolls the Ninja Academies as they also lack access to the Morphing Grid. Humanity's only real saving grace being the villains fighting each other as much as humanity by this point.

Hartford never releases Flurious and Moltor, instead being forced to contribute his talents to fighting the various villain factions and never being able to find the Corona Aurora.

It's only when K uncovers the 'biofield' (the Morphing Grid') that the villains are pushed back using the weapons she and her fellow geniuses make, allowing enough normalcy to return enough for the Rangers' backstories to make sense.

Then Venjix is released, and nukes everyone out of nowhere, and Corinth is allowed to be built and exist due to him being in a multiway war with the other villains, now including the Master's forces and Daishi.

This is why Venjix doesn't just swamp Corinth with sheer numbers: he CAN'T: he uses most of his army to fight the other villains. By present, Venjix is the last villain standing (if only in a VictoryByEndurance by virtue of being able to survive so long as his virus is backed up and the others killing one another off), but exhausted so much of his resources he has to scale down his attacks and be more cautious due to his weakened forces.

Thus, Rita pulled the ultimate NiceJobFixingItVillain by being freed in the first place.
