History WMG / PowerRangersRPM

** Not necessarily. It's the "near future" - a few decades at most. The worst-case scenario would have been an army of [[Main/BadassGrandpa badass granparents]] with superpowers and giant robots- arguably harder to defeat than a group of plucky youngsters. Remember Tommy in Dino Thunder? Now imagine EVERY POWERED RANGER like that. No way Venjix could have taken them without some sort of hidden advantage.

** Not just ''a'' law, but a Prime Directive. We've seen in Franchise/StarTrek and StarOcean how obsessive people can be about those, and why.

*** On the surface, yes. However, VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope explains quite well why it isn't a good idea to interfere in more primitive cultures. CargoCults in the more primitive examples, economic, political and technological dependency in examples like earth. If anyone bailed Earth out, it would basically become a colony world of whoever did the saving, as it lacks the knowledge to compete against the flow of resources that would ensue in reconstruction.

** Alternatively, maybe the aliens WANT to help, but can't - Venjix could've surrounded the earth with Nukes and made it so that attempting to navigate through them would be like trying to get through a minefield blindfolded, or he's installed anti-spaceship defenses.

While we can ignore Akibaranger since it's unofficial (or we can count it just for fun), and we can assume that the pre-''Zyuranger'' series happened on both, but weren't documented (at least in the main Earth Universe), maybe the teams that aren't being adapted canonically exist in the RPM universe, and the conflicts those teams are involved in take place in the gaps between the post-''Samurai'' series (since the RPM rangers seem to be still active around the time "Clash of the Red Rangers" occur, and Corinth seems to be at peace when the Super Megaforce rangers visit it) - the events of the RPM version of ''[=Go-Busters=]'' take place in the time between the end of ''Super Megaforce'' and the beginning of ''Dino Charge'', the RPM ''[=ToQger=]'' events happen in between ''Dino Super Charge'' ending and ''Ninja Steel'' beginning, the RPM version of whatever Saban skips next takes place in between the end of ''Ninja Super Steel'' and the start of the first season of whatever PR series comes after ''Ninja Steel'', and so on, with the RPM verse teams not calling for help from the main universe because things have gotten much better for the RPM universe Earth (and they can turn to other RPM-verse teams for help if they need it). As for the Dairangers: They are the RPM version of the original ''Mighty Morphin'' rangers (except here, the white ranger never needed to get new powers since he never lost his). The timelines divert at the same time, and the main Earth timeline had the events of ''Jungle Fury'' happen, while the RPM universe Earth saw the events of, well, ''RPM'' happen - plus, this would give an explanation as to why in ''Super Megaforce'', when the Super Megaforce rangers use RPM's powers, they gain access to the ''Dairanger'' suits (since the events of the PR versions of ''Go-Busters'' and ''[=ToQger=]'' hadn't happened when ''Super Megaforce'' happened, and those teams never went to the main earth, the Super Megaforce Rangers didn't get the powers of those 2 teams). The events of ''SPD'' do still occur in the RPM-verse, though - by that point, humanity had finally regained contact with alien life and recovered from the events of RPM, so they began to police the galaxy. However, after the events of the RPM-verse SPD, it returns to the series Saban skipped.

[[WMG: RPM will end with the biggest MassiveMultiplayerCrossover ever]]

[[WMG: RPM will end with the use of nuclear weapons to take out Venjix]]
In Time Force, the planet is still ruined and babies are genetically engineered to prevent dangerous mutations. What do we know of that would still be around nine hundred years later, prevent plants from reclaiming the planet in places, and cause mutations? That's right, fallout from the use of nuclear weapons.

The RPM team seems like just another spinoff team of Rangers. The animal zords look more like show models for a potential "WildForce"-esque team than something meant to be weaponized and used as the last line of defence for humanity. But when the Venjix virus attacked,the RPM team was commissioned and refitted by Dr. K to protect Corinth.

[[WMG: [=RPM=] and Jungle Fury exist in the same universe, but not in the same one as the other seasons.]]

* Jossed as of PowerRangersMegaForce. Thanks to ArmedWithCanon, Jungle Fury is now with the regular rangers canon while RPM is still its own thing.

[[WMG: SPD and Time Force fit into continuity]]

*** And if you like EpilepticTrees, they may have been meant to form a four-man team in the first place.

The RPM[=/=]Samurai teamup will involve time travel and the events of RPM will be RetGoned by preventing Venjix from ever existing in the first place.

Dr K. was abducted when she was a little girl, and was a fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Her love of a children's show she half remembers from before she was taken is what subconsciously made her design brightly colored super hero suits with vehicles that look like they have eyes and combine into a giant mech. This also explains where the term 'zord' came from in the RPM continuity.

Doctor K, inventor of the RPM Ranger Series, was robbed of her childhood, not allowing her to do things like a normal child wood. Pouring her imagination into her Ranger tech she used the zords as an outlet for stuff a child or a young kid could make (abstract animals with big googly anime eyes).

[[WMG: The episode ''[[DocumentaryEpisode And' Action]]'' takes place is the same continuity as the rest of the series]]

[[WMG: The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie took place in the same dimension as RPM]]

*** As for how Alphabet Soup would have gotten the salvaged Machine Empire technology? They would have stolen it from a certain [[{{Warehouse13}} government warehouse]].

* Jossed as of PowerRangersMegaForce. Thanks to ArmedWithCanon, jungle fury is now with the regular rangers canon while RPM is still its own thing.

* Except Zordon would've had a [[Main/CrazyPrepared backup plan]] for that - most likely is that his back-up plan would have given the rangers access to the Dairanger suits when the Machine Empire attacked.

* Jossed

** Confirmed, actually - Judd Lynn had hoped to get Disney to make a sequel, yet they shut down that effort. Ironically enough, he turned down the chance to make a sequel with ''[=Go-Busters=]'' in favor of adapting ''Dino Charge''.

* I really don't think that one ranger, BadAss though he is, would be the only thing making conquest difficult for Venjix.

[[WMG: Venjix is Kilokhan from SuperhumanSamuraiSyberSquad]]

So, we have already established that [[EverybodysDeadDave RPM's premise can be scary as hell if you think too much about it.]] So, how do the writers avoid angry letters from parents complaining that their child had nightmares about the 90% of Earth's population being destroyed? By making one of the characters come from another country for no apparent reason. Kids see Flynn and think, "Oh, everyone on earth now lives in Corinth." Granted, [[ViewersAreMorons kids are not as stupid as the writers may think,]] but it was worth a try.

Flash forward to 2007 with [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]. A much more technological team, so surely their powers would be more vulnerable to Venjix, right? Well consider the R.P.M episode ''Ancient History'', where Tenaya finds the Red Overdrive Ranger helemt in the ruins of Alphabet Soup. Let's say that when Mr Hartford released Flurious and Moltor, he had trouble creting ranger powers, so he tried to get help. For a while, he worked along side Alphabet Soup, which gave him all the information he needed to create his team, but left when he realised how corrupt the agency was. Since Dr K had a firewall that could resist Venjix, it's likely that Hartford was able to use the same kind to protect his ranger tech from Venjix. And while Venjix may be starting to become a threat by this point, the Overdrive Rangers are preoccupied with finding the Corona Aurora and so figure it's best to leave Venjix to past ranger teams.

In "Three's A Crowd," t6here are fresh fruits and vegetables displayed in a convenience store. Corinth is the last city on the planet, and you cannot possibly grow much of anything outside the dome. It is impossible by the numbers to feed a city the size of Corinth day in, day out from what can naturally be produced inside the parts of the dome that aren't otherwise built over. Because of this, food, ''any'' food, would have to be synthesized on a massive scale to feed the citizens. Fortunately for the citizens. the government has had this technology for many years.

* Time Force was the last season of ''Power Rangers'' ''before'' {{Disney}} took over. Of course Judd Lynn will dare remake it! (Give or take a few nails and butterflies...)

****** Still, it probably would have gone down in a similar way to the OldManLogan story arc in Wolverine - In the OldManLogan story arc, all the villains teamed up to kill all of the X-Men, Avengers & other heroes of Earth, and Mysterio tricks Wolverine into slaughtering the X-Men by having him see them as the villains of the Marvel universe, because he knew the X-Men would hesitate to hurt their ally. So, the other rangers did fight, but were hesitant to hurt Tommy (This would especially apply to the MMPR, Zeo, Turbo & Dino Thunder rangers), which lead to their demise.

[[WMG: Venjix is evil due to MommyIssues]]

* Alternate: [=GLaDOS=] ''is'' Venjix, or at least, was at one point. [=GLaDOS=] has the same feelings for her "daughter" Chell that her "mother," Dr. K, had for her: a mixture of admiration, hope, and a desire to destroy a child who has gone too far. (See also WMG/{{Portal}} for more on [=GLaDOS=]'s maternal feelings for Chell.)

******* Her levels of badass grown exponentially. It's well stablished that Dillon is the strongest of the rangers and that the Black suit is the most powerful, yet Tenaya trashes the fours male rangers morphed, But Summer is able to fight and hold her own while unmorphed. In another episode, Dillon and Ziggy leave the dome in Dillon's car and are ambushed in the middle of the wasteland by mooks. Summer appears out of nowhere, apparently she followed them ''on foot'', was rested enough to trash the mooks by herself(Doing a "rider" kick without any sort of momentum) and then crack the map that Gem and Gemma had made, which pointed to a Venjix factory.

****** Soooo, the only instance I can see where she signifgantly 'screwed up' is the moment when Tanya mentions her parents and she freezes up, almost allowing Tenaya to get a potshot at her. I have yet too see any signs of 'saintlyhood' from this character. Where do you get that from? Summer still clearly carries elements of a conceited and caustic personality. Indeed, she has sounded full of herself on occasions. All she has shown in battle is simple competence, only a few hairs less of it then Scott or Flynn. Which is justified because they had hero type professions before hand. Her 'levels in badass' only came about after a TimeSkip. Unless you count her fight with the Venjix Mooks. Which I don't because they have been shown to be rather easily wrecked.

*** Nah, all this is nonsense, if you pay attention to the backstory you see she was ALREADY not just some RichBitch. She was praticing some (apparently) high level karate against the butler, was seen riding around on a dirt bike, which could suggest she knows something about the upkeep of one. The is not a SINGLE instance of Summer being the Chick ANYWHERE in any of te episodes, in fact, she is as competent as any of the males in the group, and by an large her gender could be seen as purely asthetic. There are no instances of Summer cooing over Dillon, none. Her motivation is quite clearly to live up to what she belives her butler saw in her. 'Simple' and 'flimsy' are not the same thing. Not every hero has to be an angst ridden train reck of a person.
