Transcript
00:00You saw my memories. I saw yours.
00:05Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at some of the most surprisingly grim scenes featuring the teens with attitude.
00:11We'll only focus on the live-action series and movies, so the comics are sadly ruled out.
00:16Not only will some of these moments be hard to watch, but there will be spoilers ahead.
00:19I am the master!
00:21You're not my master!
00:25Whoa!
00:25Number 50, Robo-Knight Extinguished, Power Ranger Super Megaforce.
00:34And we have a guest!
00:36Rock, I will not permit you to activate the drill.
00:41With Orion trapped in his lair, Vrak's master plan has begun, using drills to demolish the earth from within.
00:46Robo-Knight storms the base to stop Vrak, but the devious prince activates the lair's self-destruction.
00:51The robotic ranger bravely charges in to rescue Orion.
00:55Only to be caught in the explosion.
01:02The rangers watch as the light from his ranger key fades away, indicating that their mechanized ally has perished.
01:08Robo-Knight's last heroic act saved Orion's life, ensuring his sacrifice would not be in vain.
01:14However, it left us scratching our heads when Robo-Knight unexpectedly returned in the season finale.
01:18With no build-up or explanation.
01:20What a way to dampen a genuine tragedy.
01:22Hello, old friend!
01:24Glad to be back!
01:26Number 49, Rita's Ambush.
01:28Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
01:34In the penultimate episode of the Green with Evil arc, Rita has set a trap for the rangers.
01:40She ambushes them with Goldar, Scorpina, and a giant green ranger.
01:45While a solar eclipse drains the Megazord's power.
01:47Ultimately, the three villains overpower our heroes.
01:50While the rangers evacuate safely, they're forced to watch helplessly as the powerless zords plunge into a chasm and sink into the center of the earth.
01:57This was undoubtedly the rangers' first devastating loss.
02:11With Zordon still out of action, and now their best tools down for the count, it looks like Rita has finally triumphed.
02:17This only makes both Zordon and the Zords return in the next episode all the more satisfying.
02:21Number 48, Goodbye Metal Alice, Power Rangers Megaforce.
02:30I've had enough of all of you!
02:33None of us is leaving this place today!
02:36With Vrak wounded by the rangers, Metal Alice, his robotic general, leaps in to destroy her master's most hated enemies, absolutely refusing to fail him.
02:45She's mortally wounded, begging for her master's forgiveness.
02:48And what does she get in return?
02:50Vrak calls her obsolete and leaves her to die, not even flinching as she explodes.
02:54Master!
03:01Even if she was an evil android, you could feel Metal Alice's anguish over failing Vrak, remaining devoted to him until the end.
03:08Tragically, Vrak's only loyalty is to himself, and the upcoming invasion.
03:12Unfortunately for the rangers, Vrak's callousness to his most loyal servant is the least of their worries, as his allies arrive to lay waste to the earth.
03:21Watch out!
03:25Number 47, Blake and Hunter's Parents, Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
03:30Lothro told us everything.
03:32Your sensei destroyed our parents.
03:34Lothro sold the whole thing.
03:35Blake and Hunter, the Thunder Rangers, have kidnapped the Wind Ninja Ranger's sensei and plan to kill him.
03:40They're convinced that sensei was the one who killed their parents, until the ghosts of their parents appear and reveal the truth.
03:46He's not responsible for what happened to us.
03:48Then who is?
03:49The one they call Lothor.
03:51Now there's a shock.
03:52To no one's surprise, Lothor was the one who murdered their parents, and then manipulated the brothers into doing his dirty work.
03:58While trusting Lothor wasn't the smartest move, we can't say we blame them.
04:02They were grieving and so desperate for revenge that they would believe anything.
04:05Our hearts clenched as the two tearfully watched their parents fade away.
04:09The reality of their so-called Master's Treachery finally sinking in.
04:12You've been talking about me, haven't you?
04:14It was you all along.
04:16You lied to us.
04:18Not the brightest bulbs on the tree, are you?
04:21Number 46, Zed's New Apprentice, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury.
04:26Let nothing stop your quest for power!
04:31I'll make you proud, Lord Zed.
04:33Since his return, Lord Zed had formed a heated rivalry with Oli, the Dino Fury Blue Ranger.
04:39He tried to brainwash him, but the spell was broken by the end of the episode.
04:42At the start of Cosmic Fury, Zed manages to brainwash Oli again, only this time, the effects last much longer.
04:49He becomes the evil Emperor's apprentice for the majority of the season,
04:52heeding his master's twisted advice and willingly trying to destroy his friends and girlfriend Amelia.
04:57Mind-controlled Rangers are nothing new for this franchise,
05:09but it's eerie to see Oli so eager to betray his loved ones, with a devious smirk on his face.
05:14Thankfully, he breaks free from Zed's control before the season's end.
05:17And I'd laugh at your face!
05:21Lord Zed is developing tech to turn himself into a morpher master!
05:24Number 45, Trachina's Demonic Mutation, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.
05:29It's time!
05:33When we last saw Trachina, she had mutated into a bug monster,
05:37and was seemingly destroyed by Leo on Terra Venture.
05:39However, one year later in the Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue team-up,
05:43it's revealed that she survived and returned to human form.
05:46She has been gathering life energy to return to her insectoid form,
05:50but the demon prince Olympias has other plans.
05:52He corrupts her transformation, causing her to mutate into a feral, demonic monstrosity.
06:05The once feisty insect queen has been reduced to another mindless beast for the Rangers to destroy.
06:11Everything that made her unique and one of the series' standout villains
06:14has been robbed from her by Olympias' deception.
06:27Number 44, King Tommy, Power Ranger Zeo.
06:30Poor Tommy can't seem to stop being brainwashed.
06:37This time around, he's been abducted by Prince Gasket,
06:40who uses a helmet to rewrite Tommy's brainwaves.
06:43The sight of Tommy alone in a dark room,
06:45strapped to a chair and having his mind rewired by an intimidating helmet,
06:48is horrifying enough.
06:50The nightmare of him being abducted by the White Ranger makes it twice as terrifying.
06:54No way.
06:59What is this?
07:00When Tommy awakens, he has no memory of his former life.
07:04He's easily deceived into believing that he is the king of the Machine Empire,
07:07and that the Power Rangers are the most evil force in the universe.
07:11Compared to Tommy's other brainwashing episodes,
07:13the horrific imagery made this one more unnerving.
07:15All will be lost.
07:17Lost?
07:18Lost to the evil that is the Power Rangers.
07:22The Power Rangers must be stopped.
07:25Number 43, Santara's Backstory, Power Rangers Dino Fury.
07:35What was...
07:36Santara's transformation into Void Queen may have seemed sudden,
07:39but once we learn her backstory, it's a lot more understandable.
07:42Years ago, she, her husband Tarek, and their infant daughter arrived on Earth,
07:47and were imprisoned in Area 62.
07:49When the base was evacuated, the couple was forced to give up their only child.
07:52If we don't make it out on time, promise you'll keep us safe.
07:56Santara was knocked out cold, believing their baby had perished.
08:00It was supposed to be a simple scavenging mission.
08:02Instead, Santara lost nearly everything she held dear.
08:05No wonder she hated humankind.
08:07In one last major twist, we learn that not only is her daughter alive and well,
08:10but she's also Amelia, the Pink Dino Fury Ranger.
08:13I am your daughter!
08:15Impossible!
08:16My child is gone!
08:19Amelia!
08:20No!
08:21Number 42, Earth is Swallowed Up, Power Rangers Dino Supercharge.
08:25I will send you back in time so that you can stop Sledge forever.
08:31You alone have the ability to save your planet.
08:34In the Dino Supercharge season finale, Sledge has captured the Earth and plans to sell it for scrap.
08:39The only way to save everyone is to destroy the Dark Energem.
08:42With everyone on Earth's help, the Rangers succeed, but at a heavy price.
08:47The Dark Energem's destruction creates a massive black hole that swallows up Sledge's ship,
08:51and the entire planet as well.
08:53The Power Rangers were meant to be the Guardians of Earth,
09:04yet one misguided decision cost them everything, and everyone they had sworn to protect.
09:08While they undo their mistake in the end, thanks to time traveling,
09:11it's hard for us to forget one of the most catastrophic blunders in any Ranger team's career.
09:16Sledge's Asteroids never hit Earth, so the dinosaurs...
09:22Number 41, Steel's Sacrifice, Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
09:30It's all on me!
09:36Evox's endgame has been unleashed.
09:38He plans to take command of the world's Morph-X towers to energize himself and conquer the world.
09:43Steel, the robot's Silver Ranger, has him cornered, and tries to deliver the finishing blow,
09:48but his attempt is in vain.
09:50Evox blasts at Steel, and after a heartfelt goodbye to his brother Nate, he completely disintegrates.
10:04Steel's sacrifice was a heart-wrenching ordeal.
10:07He had proven time and time again, he was more than a robot.
10:10He was a natural-born hero, and the brother Nate needed,
10:13but his loss motivated the Rangers to put an end to Evox's terror.
10:17In the aftermath, Steel is miraculously resurrected, and given a well-earned real boy ending.
10:22Finally, I really am human!
10:31Number 40, The Void King, Power Rangers Dino Fury.
10:35I am more than Centaura. More than I ever thought possible!
10:44While he antagonized the Rangers, Tarek, aka Void Knight, wasn't pure evil.
10:49Everything he did was to revive his ailing wife, Centaura.
10:52Unfortunately, it's not a happy reunion when he gets his wish.
10:55Obsessed with getting revenge on humanity, Centaura uses the Sporix to become the Void Queen,
11:00then forcibly transforms her beloved husband into the Void King.
11:03Any trace of Tarek's goodness is extinguished.
11:06All that remains is a brainwashed slave, devoted to his queen,
11:10and dedicated to destroying the Rangers and all of humankind.
11:13Void Queen corrected my traitorous feelings.
11:17Now I only serve her.
11:19Thankfully, he returns to normal in the penultimate episode,
11:22after a tearful reunion with his daughter, Amelia.
11:24All the hate, the anger, it's gone.
11:32Number 39, Zayto on Borrowed Time, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury.
11:37Saving the Zords really took it out of me.
11:39It sure seems like it.
11:41After Zayto's heroic sacrifice,
11:43our hearts swelled with joy seeing him return to life to lead the Dino Fury Rangers into space.
11:48And yet, something changed when he was brought back.
11:50He became more fatigued and slept through most of the voyage.
11:53Eventually, it was revealed that when Zayto was revived,
11:56he was kept alive mostly by magic.
11:58And every time he used his abilities, he drained most of his life force.
12:02In the end, he used up the last of his life energy to protect his friends from Zed.
12:06However, as he sheds his mortal life,
12:17he is reborn as a Morphin Master,
12:19continuing to be a hero as he helps protect the Morphin Grid.
12:22Even Lord Zed has the potential for redemption.
12:25That's why I brought him here.
12:27You want a straw too?
12:28You're so ungrateful!
12:30Number 38, Mandelok's Betrayal, Power Rangers Wild Force.
12:34For 3,000 years, Tosca and I waited for your return.
12:38And for what?
12:39They may have been bumbling henchmen,
12:41but Jindrax and Tosca's loyalties to their masters are unquestioned.
12:45Tosca went so far as to cut off her only horn
12:48to kidnap Princess Shayla for Mandelok,
12:50even though it would severely weaken her.
12:52How is she thanked for her loyalty?
12:54Mandelok callously disregards her suffering,
12:56and then uses her as a shield against the ranger's attack.
13:06Jindrax can only watch in horror,
13:08as his best friend perishes before his eyes.
13:10Poor Tosca paid the price for showing devotion to a master
13:13who only cared for himself.
13:15But Mandelok would learn next episode
13:17that what goes around, comes around.
13:28Number 37, Ivan Ooze's Revenge,
13:32Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie.
13:34My sensors tell me the rangers were too late.
13:37Ivan is on his way here.
13:39Don't worry, nobody enters the command center without a power coin.
13:42After being sealed away for 6,000 years by Zordon,
13:45Ivan Ooze is back and out for revenge.
13:48He effortlessly breaks into the command center
13:50and wastes no time laying waste to the base.
13:52With the command center in ruins,
13:54the rangers lose their powers.
13:55Worst of all,
13:56Zordon slowly ages to death outside of his time warp.
13:59Sadly, even when the rangers find the new powers,
14:02they're too late,
14:03and their father figure peacefully passes on.
14:05Rangers, you made it!
14:07Miraculously, their new power allows them to restore Zordon's life
14:16and the command center.
14:17Between the lair's brutal destruction
14:19and the iconic mentor on his deathbed,
14:21the rangers' first cinematic experience
14:23sets the bar for how harrowing they could be.
14:25Rangers!
14:27He's alive!
14:28He's alive!
14:28He's alive!
14:30We thought that you hid him.
14:32It is good to see you again, too.
14:34Number 36.
14:35Master Orc covers his tracks.
14:37Power Rangers Wild Force.
14:39What were you trying to prove?
14:40I was casting the book!
14:42Power of a count for you!
14:44Yeah, that's all she was doing.
14:46Since the beginning,
14:47Toxica has suspected that Master Orc
14:49isn't what he claims to be.
14:50When she and Jindrax investigate,
14:52they learn the horrifying truth.
14:53Their so-called Master is a human.
14:56It's Master Orc!
15:02With the truth uncovered,
15:04Master Orc ensnares them in vines
15:06and transforms them into super-Orcs.
15:08All of their doubts are wiped away
15:10as they're brainwashed into his mindless slaves
15:12with only faint traces of their real selves remaining.
15:15Meanwhile, Master Orc is free to keep up his masquerade
15:18as a true Orc unopposed.
15:20Thankfully, the two generals will return to normal
15:22a few episodes later.
15:24Their treacherous leader would pay the price
15:25for deceiving them all this time.
15:27We have to do something about that fake Master Orc!
15:31Don't worry.
15:32I've got something in mind.
15:34Oh, yeah!
15:36Like what?
15:37Hey, wait up!
15:38Number 35.
15:40Smitty.
15:40Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
15:42Who's that guy?
15:43His name's Terrence Smith.
15:45Everyone call him Smitty.
15:46It's plain to see that Zeltrax
15:48had a bone to pick with Tommy.
15:49But have you ever wondered why?
15:51It turns out that Zeltrax
15:52was once a human named Terrence Smith
15:54or Smitty
15:55who worked with Tommy and Anton Mercer.
15:57When Tommy got picked over Smith for a new job,
16:00Smitty went to work for another company
16:01only to get caught in a fatal accident.
16:03While we thankfully don't see Smitty's injuries,
16:06they were severe enough for Messegog
16:07to rebuild him into the cyborg warrior Zeltrax.
16:10He's a genius with cybernetic reconstruction.
16:18Oh, man.
16:19Smitty.
16:20Since that day,
16:21he blamed Tommy
16:22and vowed to end his life
16:24as revenge for the one that was stolen from him.
16:26Run!
16:26It is all that has kept me dying!
16:31Revenge is mine!
16:33Number 34.
16:34Everyone's Backstory.
16:35Power Rangers RPM.
16:37Why did you do it?
16:38All you need to know, Bob,
16:42is that I'd do it again.
16:44Among the many reasons why RPM
16:46is one of the darkest seasons
16:47is our leading hero's backstories.
16:49Flynn had heroic ambitions,
16:51but was constantly discouraged by others.
16:53Summer was a spoiled rich girl
16:54who learned selflessness
16:55after losing the only person
16:57who genuinely cared for her.
16:58Scott was an Air Force pilot
17:00who lost his older brother
17:01during the Battle of Corinth.
17:02Ziggy was a member of the Mafia
17:04who abandoned the cartel
17:05to save an orphanage,
17:06but kept it a secret to protect them.
17:07Dylan was separated from his sister,
17:09experimented on with Benjik's implants,
17:12and had all his memories stolen from him.
17:13Dr. K's backstory is dark enough
17:15for its own entry,
17:16and it's a doozy.
17:21Number 33.
17:22The End of the Command Center.
17:24Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers.
17:25Since the very start of the franchise,
17:35the Command Center had been
17:36the ranger's most sacred stronghold
17:38and the home of Zordon and Alpha.
17:40But at the end of the Alien Rangers arc,
17:42the world comes tumbling down
17:44as a bomb placed under the Command Center
17:46is detonated.
17:47While the rangers are safely teleported out,
17:49Alpha and Zordon are left behind
17:50in the final blast.
17:51The rangers can only look on helplessly
17:54as their HQ is reduced to rubble.
18:01Billy, the very last of the original five teams,
18:04takes this loss the hardest.
18:06Thankfully, it's later revealed
18:07that Zordon and Alpha survived the explosion.
18:09A new base rises from the ashes
18:11of the Command Center,
18:12the Power Chamber.
18:13Oh, we thought you were gone forever.
18:15Oh, it takes more than a little implosion
18:18to keep me down.
18:19Number 32.
18:21Two tragedies in one opener.
18:23Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
18:24If I can't count the sabers,
18:27then no one will!
18:32In her first chapter in the post-Zordon era,
18:35a new team of heroes has just pulled
18:37the Quasar sabers from the stone,
18:39proving their worthiness
18:40as the newest Power Rangers.
18:41However, it's not a time for celebration,
18:44as they're faced with not one,
18:46but two tragedies back-to-back.
18:48First, Maya is forced to watch
18:49as her planet and loved ones
18:51are turned to stone by Pirio's spell.
18:53Next, Mike falls to his supposed death
18:55and passes his Red Ranger title
18:57to his little brother, Leo.
18:58I've always been so proud of you, Leo.
19:01I always will be.
19:05No!
19:08Leo!
19:08Normal humans would fall apart
19:11after a tragic double whammy.
19:12And yet,
19:13the Galaxy Rangers keep fighting on,
19:15determined to protect the universe
19:16and bring justice to those
19:18who had fallen on their first day.
19:19Number 31,
19:27Javi's Personal Loss,
19:28Power Rangers Cosmic Fury.
19:30If the altar is destroyed,
19:31our chances of getting Zords are too.
19:36A little too close.
19:37While on the planet Zordnia,
19:38the Rangers discover an altar
19:40that could unlock the Cosmic Fury Zords.
19:42Bravely,
19:43Javi inserts the Morphin Master Staff
19:45to unlock the altar,
19:46only to get blasted by lightning.
19:48Javi survives,
19:49and the new Zords are unlocked,
19:50but Javi's right arm
19:51was disintegrated in the blast.
19:53My...
19:54My arm.
19:57We're thankful there was no bloodshed,
19:58but the sight of his missing limb
19:59was enough to send Javi into shock
20:01and fill us with dread.
20:03Javi would later be given
20:04a robotic prosthetic,
20:05but seeing him lose his limb
20:06is a grim reminder.
20:08Even if you survive a battle,
20:09it doesn't mean you come back fully intact.
20:11Don't push yourself too hard.
20:13Okay?
20:14Yeah, okay.
20:15It is a lot to get used to.
20:17Number 30.
20:18The Thunder Zords are destroyed.
20:20Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
20:22The loss of any technology
20:23can be pretty depressing,
20:24though losing all of the Thunder Zords
20:26has to be hitting a new low.
20:28Everybody get out!
20:32As the Rangers get in their iconic robots
20:36and do battle against Rito,
20:37they eventually get overpowered
20:39and are demorphed.
20:40With the bad guys given the advantage,
20:41the Thunder Zords are demolished.
20:50While the fights are known to be campy,
20:52the Thunder Zords losing their limbs
20:54as explosions occur all around them
20:56is a grisly sight for the Rangers.
20:58It doesn't just leave them powerless,
20:59and without their biggest weapons,
21:01it also leaves them visibly shaken.
21:03Yeah, kind of a bummer.
21:04Number 29.
21:12Dr. Ferrix is blown up by Rancic,
21:15Power Rangers Time Force.
21:16It shouldn't be too hard to see
21:18how losing all of your humanity
21:19can be deeply tragic.
21:21For Dr. Louis Ferrix,
21:22he once had a normal life,
21:23but that all changed
21:24when he became Frax.
21:25I transformed myself
21:27into one of the stupid robots
21:30you so despised.
21:32As the vengeful cyborg,
21:33he'd ally with the villain Rancic,
21:35but he'd secretly harbor hatred for him.
21:37It makes sense
21:38since he was the one
21:39who blew up his lab
21:40and set him on his path
21:41in the first place.
21:46He'd take measures against him later
21:48by destroying the serum
21:49Rancic needs to live.
21:50And while that revenge
21:51was a good start,
21:52it'd take a lot
21:53to right the wrongs that happened.
21:55That was the last bio.
22:00Number 28.
22:01Billy Drowns,
22:02Power Rangers.
22:04From the opening scene,
22:05it was obvious
22:05that the 2017 Power Rangers movie
22:07would be the darkest
22:08live-action Power Rangers movie yet.
22:10I'm sorry.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:20I'm sorry.
22:21I'm sorry.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:23I'm sorry.
22:23I'm sorry.
22:24I'm sorry.
22:25It was packed
22:28with mature themes
22:29and saw the heroes
22:29dealing with more realistic
22:31and hard-hitting problems.
22:32The bleakest moment came
22:33when Rita tied up
22:34all the Rangers.
22:35She threatens to kill them
22:36if they don't tell her
22:37where the precious
22:37Zeo crystal is.
22:38To protect his friends,
22:40Blue Ranger Billy
22:40gives up the crystal's location.
22:42Rita thanks him
22:43by letting him drown.
22:44his friends are forced to carry him back to the base
22:59while they're still mourning.
23:00Although Billy gets a second chance at life,
23:02the scene of his death
23:03is an image we can't get out of our heads.
23:05No. 27.
23:12Decker's Defeat
23:13Power Rangers Super Samurai
23:14When you look at the facts,
23:16Decker's whole life is dark on his own.
23:19He was cursed as a half-human,
23:20half-Nylock
23:21with no memory of his former life.
23:23All Decker had
23:24was an insatiable need
23:25to find a worthy opponent
23:26to break his curse.
23:27I knew we had something in common
23:28the moment I met you.
23:29Hiding that secret
23:30made you twisted like me.
23:32We have nothing in common.
23:34Maybe you don't think so.
23:36But I can see in your eyes
23:37the same need to fight,
23:40the need to prove yourself worthy.
23:42After two seasons of build-up,
23:44he finally gets his ultimate duel
23:45against Red Ranger, Jaiden.
23:47Despite how exhausted
23:48both warriors get,
23:49Decker refuses to quit.
23:51He keeps going
23:51even when he's too tired
23:53to lift his sword.
23:54Although Jaiden doesn't want
23:54to strike the final blow,
23:56Decker still keeps trying
23:57to provoke his opponent.
23:58When Blue Ranger Kevin
23:59strikes the villain down,
24:00he happily embraces the end
24:02in a truly grim scene.
24:04At last,
24:06I'm free.
24:11Number 26.
24:12Messegog nearly kills Trent,
24:14Power Rangers' Dino Thunder.
24:16The villainous dinosaur humanoid
24:18Messegog is one scary foe.
24:20A particularly scary moment of his
24:22is when he captures
24:23the white Dino Ranger,
24:24Trent Mercer.
24:25In captivity,
24:26Messegog attempts
24:27to kill Trent.
24:28You cannot be trusted
24:29and therefore
24:31must be eliminated.
24:34No!
24:34It's certainly a bleak moment,
24:36but what makes it
24:36even more messed up
24:37is that Messegog
24:38is the monstrous form
24:39of Anton Mercer,
24:41Trent's dad.
24:43It's me!
24:44Trent!
24:45I'm your son!
24:47While Anton is able
24:48to get back in control
24:49and save him,
24:50the danger that he put
24:51his son into
24:51is still horrifying regardless.
24:53It's going to take a lot
24:54of therapy
24:55to repair
24:55this father-son bond.
24:56You have to get out of here.
24:58No, I can help!
24:59No!
25:00Find a way to stop this.
25:03Until I do,
25:03I want you to go
25:04and use your powers
25:04for something good.
25:05Number 25.
25:06Korone is kidnapped.
25:08Power Rangers in space.
25:10When playing with
25:10his brother Andross
25:11on their home planet,
25:12KO-35,
25:13Korone is eventually
25:14captured by the villainous
25:15Darkonda.
25:16It shouldn't be hard
25:17to see how being
25:18snatched from your home
25:19as a child
25:19can be a frightening experience.
25:21But what's worse
25:24is she's then sent
25:26to an entirely new planet
25:27where she's trained
25:28by Ecliptor
25:28to become a warrior.
25:29What did they do to you?
25:32The same as will be
25:34done to you,
25:35my princess.
25:37Unfortunately,
25:37this wouldn't be
25:38the last time
25:38she's exploited either.
25:40In part two
25:40of Dark Scepter's
25:41revenge from
25:42Power Rangers in space,
25:43she gets completely
25:44brainwashed by Ecliptor.
25:46In essence,
25:46her entire childhood
25:47is robbed
25:48just so she could
25:49become a weapon
25:50for sinister people.
25:51Her tragic backstory
25:52shows that there's
25:53some truly evil lengths
25:54that people would go to
25:55to achieve their goals.
25:56Ecliptor,
25:58get them.
25:59Number 24,
26:00Jem and Jemma
26:01get deleted.
26:02Power Rangers RPM.
26:04Dying is a seriously
26:04tough thing to deal with
26:06and is plenty dark
26:06on its own.
26:07But what if you
26:08weren't just struck down
26:09but straight up
26:09deleted out of existence?
26:17Jemma!
26:18No, what did you do?
26:19Both Jem and Jemma
26:20would have these
26:21fates in RPM
26:22when they were hit
26:23by the full force
26:24of the deadly
26:24Vengex virus.
26:26As their costumes
26:26disappear,
26:27they slowly fade out
26:28of reality
26:29as their teammates
26:30watch on in terror.
26:31Never give up.
26:39It's incredibly bleak
26:40just to say the least
26:41and with so many
26:42similarly dark moments,
26:44it's easy to see
26:44why many consider RPM
26:46to be one of the
26:46darkest Power Rangers
26:47shows.
26:49The tide is turning.
26:52Number 23,
26:53The Rangers Nearly
26:54Give Up Their Humanity.
26:55Power Rangers Samurai.
26:57Desperate times
26:58can often lead
26:59to desperate choices.
27:00When the spirit
27:00of Yellow Ranger Emily
27:02is trapped
27:02in the netherworld,
27:03the Rangers have to
27:04figure out how
27:04to rescue their partner.
27:06What do we do now?
27:08Oh no,
27:09poor Emily.
27:10But the only way
27:11to cross into
27:12the hellish dimension
27:13is giving up
27:14your humanity.
27:15Once you do that,
27:16you turn into
27:16a netherworld demon
27:17called a Nylock.
27:19Simply trade your
27:20human existence
27:20to become a Nylock.
27:22So, understandably,
27:23this is a pretty
27:24difficult choice to make.
27:25Eventually,
27:26Gold Ranger Antonio
27:27is able to come up
27:28with a counter solution.
27:29But if he didn't,
27:30then the Rangers
27:30likely would have
27:31gone through
27:31with the first option.
27:33While it's a noble choice,
27:34trading your soul
27:35to forever become a monster
27:36is nothing if not mortifying.
27:38We're a team.
27:40We'll all go.
27:43Wait, stop!
27:46Number 22.
27:47Carnosaur Alters Memories.
27:49Power Rangers Jungle Fury.
27:51The memories of our past
27:52are things that we hold sacred
27:53because they remind us
27:54of who we are.
27:55So it's pretty important
27:56that they don't get messed up.
27:58But as Jared starts training
27:59under the tutelage
28:00of the evil Carnosaur,
28:01it becomes clear
28:02that he's being manipulated.
28:03We will visit your past
28:04and erase your humanity.
28:07He gets sent
28:08into the inner depths
28:08of his mind.
28:09And when he does,
28:10several core memories
28:11become corrupted.
28:12This isn't just
28:13a gross misuse
28:14of Carnosaur's
28:15disturbing power,
28:16but also a step towards
28:17essentially brainwashing Jared
28:19by twisting his memories
28:20and changing the outcomes.
28:22Give me that!
28:22Yes!
28:23Feel the darkness
28:25take over!
28:27Though Jared later
28:27became an ally
28:28to the Rangers,
28:29he could have gone down
28:30a darker path
28:31if Carnosaur's plans worked.
28:34It did now!
28:36Ah!
28:37Number 21.
28:39Captain Mitchell's deal
28:40with Diabolico.
28:41Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.
28:43What lengths would you go
28:44to save your family?
28:45And do any of them involve
28:46making a deal with the devil?
28:48That was the decision
28:49Captain Mitchell had to make
28:50when his son,
28:51Ryan's life,
28:51was in danger.
28:52The villainous demon,
28:53Diabolico,
28:54offered to save Ryan,
28:56but only because he had
28:56nefarious plans for him.
28:58I can help you.
29:00Go work!
29:01But if I save his life,
29:03he belongs to me.
29:04Dad!
29:05The decision is obviously
29:06pretty dark,
29:07and only made worse
29:08considering the Captain
29:09had just seconds to make it.
29:13Save him!
29:14But if that weren't all,
29:15being abandoned
29:16was also the event
29:17that would cause Ryan
29:17to resent his father
29:18as he grew up.
29:19Oh, and yeah,
29:20having to deal with a villain
29:21like Diabolico
29:22also ups the creep factor.
29:24You will not see your son again
29:25until his 20th birthday.
29:28Number 20.
29:29The End of the Green Ranger.
29:30Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
29:32It turns out that Rita
29:33doesn't like it
29:34when her evil Green Rangers
29:35abandon her.
29:36When Tommy turns on her,
29:37she conjures up
29:38a magic candle
29:39that steals Tommy's powers
29:41as it burns.
29:42Why am I here?
29:43It's simple.
29:44If you serve Rita,
29:45you can keep your powers.
29:47If not,
29:48you'll lose them
29:48when the candle burns out.
29:50What candle?
29:51The green candle.
29:54When Jason goes
29:56to retrieve the candle,
29:57he's forced to make
29:58a difficult decision
29:58that would haunt him.
30:00Come on.
30:00You gave up too easily.
30:06An intense battle on Earth
30:08ends up endangering
30:09Tommy's life.
30:10In order to save his teammate,
30:12Jason abandons hopes
30:13of getting the candle back
30:14and lets Tommy's
30:15Green Ranger powers
30:16fade away.
30:17It was great being a ranger,
30:18Zordon.
30:19You'll always be with me.
30:22I'm sorry, Tommy.
30:23You tried to get the candle.
30:25You did what you had to do.
30:27My powers are with you now.
30:29Use them to defeat Rita.
30:31You can count on it, man.
30:32For a famously lighthearted
30:34and goofy season,
30:35this was a surprisingly grim moment
30:37that highlights
30:38that not every decision
30:39we make will be easy.
30:41Number 19.
30:42A terrifying rescue mission,
30:44Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
30:46When TerraVenture receives
30:47the distress beacon,
30:48Mike and Leo lead a team
30:49of GSA soldiers
30:50on a rescue mission
30:51inside an unknown spacecraft.
30:53Thanks for coming.
30:55I feel a lot better
30:55with you, Alon.
30:57Wouldn't miss it.
30:58Just watch my back.
31:00The mission quickly becomes
31:01something out of a horror film,
31:02Although the ship is dark,
31:04covered in webs,
31:05and the only parts
31:05of the ship's crew left
31:06are gooey remains,
31:08the heroes aren't alone.
31:09They find themselves
31:10being hunted by a vicious
31:11and lightning-fast alien monster
31:13that picks them off
31:14one at a time.
31:15He got Jasper!
31:16What got Jasper?
31:18Something!
31:19It came out of the shadow, sir!
31:20Grabbed him,
31:21and then they were both gone!
31:22A rescue mission
31:23quickly becomes a fight
31:24to make it out alive.
31:25Thankfully,
31:26everyone survives in the end,
31:27but the tense,
31:28foreboding atmosphere
31:29makes this one of the
31:30scariest episodes
31:31of the whole
31:32Power Rangers series.
31:34Number 18.
31:35Did Something Happen To Me?
31:36Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
31:39Throughout Operation Overdrive,
31:40there are subtle hints
31:41that Mac might be
31:42more than meets the eye.
31:43Eventually,
31:44the truth is found out
31:45in one of the biggest
31:46plot twists in the series.
31:48It's revealed
31:48that Mac is actually
31:49an android
31:50Dr. Hartford designed.
31:51He was built only
32:04two years prior
32:04to the events in the series.
32:06To sell the ruse,
32:07Mac was given
32:07false memories
32:08of a childhood
32:09that never happened.
32:10I wanted you
32:11to be like
32:12every other kid.
32:13I'm not!
32:15I'm a machine!
32:16Suffice it to say,
32:18Mac is an emotional mess
32:19when all these truths
32:20are revealed,
32:20learning that everything
32:21he ever believed
32:22about his life
32:23was all a lie
32:24was pretty dark.
32:25And if that wasn't
32:25disturbing enough for you,
32:26there's a lovely shot
32:27of Mac's detached
32:28cyborg head
32:29to seal the deal.
32:30Did something happen to me?
32:35Um,
32:36yeah.
32:39Number 17.
32:40Zayto Sacrifices Himself.
32:42Power Rangers Dino Fury.
32:44In the high-stakes finale
32:45to Dino Fury Season 2,
32:47the Red Ranger Zayto
32:48decides to take
32:48one for the team
32:49in order to ensure
32:50the survival
32:51of the other rangers
32:52and the world.
32:53His grim decision
32:54to sacrifice himself
32:55to destroy the nemesis beast
32:56is an emotional moment,
32:58just to say the least.
33:07Zayto's ultimate sacrifice
33:09is a scene
33:09that tugs at the heartstrings,
33:11as the Red Ranger
33:12is seemingly no more.
33:13While he would come back
33:18from the dead,
33:19his reunion with his friends
33:20wouldn't last forever.
33:22Either way, though,
33:23Zayto's death marks
33:24a pivotal moment
33:24in the series
33:25and a major change
33:26to the status quo
33:27for the team.
33:28You know you've hit
33:41rock bottom
33:42when you're forced
33:42to negotiate with the devil.
33:44Pink Ranger Kimberly
33:45was once held hostage.
33:46There's got to be something
33:48we can do, Zordon.
33:50We can't lose Kimberly.
33:52I can't lose her.
33:54With her life force
33:55fading away,
33:55the rangers are left
33:56with no choice
33:57but to allow Lord Zed
33:58into the command center
33:59to make a deal.
34:00Zed's demands
34:01are simple
34:02and wicked.
34:03The rangers must either
34:04serve him
34:04and pilot his evil zords,
34:06or risk letting one
34:07of their own perish.
34:08You agree
34:09to pilot my new fleet
34:11of zords
34:12and do all my evil bidding,
34:14or you can refuse
34:15my offer,
34:16in which case
34:17we can all sit around
34:18and have a jolly time
34:20watching the Pink Ranger
34:21race away.
34:23This situation
34:24is grim enough
34:25with the original
34:25Pink Ranger's life
34:26on the line,
34:27but seeing the villain
34:28sit smugly
34:28in the ranger's
34:29sacred sanctuary
34:30with all the cards
34:31in his favor
34:32is just bone-chilling.
34:34Number 15.
34:35The truth behind
34:36Cole's parents,
34:37Power Rangers Wild Force.
34:39For all his life,
34:40Cole desperately wanted
34:41to know what became
34:42of his parents.
34:43Tragically,
34:44what he finds
34:44is not good news.
34:45Cole!
34:46I'll be destroyed soon.
34:49Just like your parents!
34:54What?
34:55His parents were once
34:56close with a human
34:57named Dr. Adler.
34:58However,
34:59the medical professional
35:00became bitterly jealous
35:01of their love.
35:02After turning himself
35:03into a monster,
35:04Master Orc
35:04put an end
35:05to his suffering
35:06by making them
35:07suffer the ultimate price.
35:08I will have
35:09my revenge!
35:10I was no longer
35:11a weak human being.
35:12He did.
35:13He took the same thing.
35:15I became
35:15Master Orc.
35:17Cole's parents
35:18were good people
35:19who were dedicated
35:20to protecting the Earth.
35:21Unfortunately,
35:22their lives were cut short
35:23because someone
35:24they dared to call
35:25a friend
35:25let his bitterness
35:26consume him.
35:27It's a heavy storyline
35:28that made Cole's
35:29fight against evil
35:30feel a lot more
35:31painful and personal.
35:33Number 14.
35:34Kruger Loses Everything.
35:35Power Rangers SPD.
35:36The realization
35:38that you're the sole
35:39survivor of a conflict
35:40can be a lot to handle.
35:42Unfortunately,
35:43Commander Kruger
35:43knows all too well
35:44what that's like.
35:45The evil Emperor Grum
35:46once invaded
35:47the commander's
35:48homeworld, Sirius.
35:49Though our men
35:50fought valiantly,
35:52we were no match
35:53for the endless
35:54army of Trubians.
35:55Victory is mine!
35:58Although Kruger
35:58tried his best
35:59to lead the charge
36:00and fight against
36:01the invaders,
36:02he lost.
36:03He was overpowered,
36:04his wife was taken
36:05and his planet
36:06was conquered.
36:07Kruger was left
36:07thinking that he
36:08was the very last
36:09of his kind.
36:10That dreaded day
36:11haunted Kruger
36:12so much that he
36:13vowed never to
36:14pick up his sword
36:14again.
36:15But when a shadow
36:15of his past
36:16comes back to
36:17finish him off,
36:17he faces his
36:18inner demons
36:19and fights again.
36:26Number 13.
36:27Dayu's Dark Deal
36:28with Serator.
36:29Power Ranger Samurai.
36:30While Nylok's
36:32thrive on human
36:32fear and misery,
36:34Dayu is arguably
36:35more miserable
36:35than anyone on Earth.
36:37Once upon a time,
36:38she was a human
36:39that was married
36:39to Dekker,
36:40but her love
36:40was fatally wounded
36:41in a house fire.
36:43Dayu was so desperate
36:44to save him
36:44that she made a deal
36:45with the Nylok king,
36:47Serator.
36:47You can save him
36:49for a price.
36:51Please.
36:52Simply trade your humanity
36:54for an eternity
36:56in the netherworld.
36:58After agreeing
36:59to trade her humanity
37:00so that Dekker may live,
37:01she realizes
37:02that she agreed
37:03to a terrible deal.
37:04Serator made Dekker
37:05half Nylok
37:06with no memory
37:07of his humanity
37:08or Dayu.
37:10But as a cursed
37:10half human
37:11and half Nylok
37:12with no memory
37:14of you.
37:16What?
37:18No.
37:19You tricked me.
37:24Additionally,
37:25he has an unquenchable
37:26thirst for combat.
37:27Dayu, on the other hand,
37:28remembers everything.
37:29She's forced to live
37:30with the pain
37:31of losing everything
37:32she once held dear.
37:33Ugh, die you.
37:35What?
37:36You gotta find humor
37:37in dark situations.
37:39Number 12.
37:40The End of the Wild Zords,
37:41Power Rangers Wild Force.
37:43During the season finale
37:45of Wild Force,
37:46it seemed like all the Orgs
37:47had finally been destroyed.
37:48Unfortunately,
37:49Master Org was alive,
37:51recently reached
37:52his full power,
37:53and had begun
37:53his final takeover
37:54of Earth.
37:55Hello, Rangers.
37:56Remember me?
38:00It is I,
38:03Master Org.
38:06It is so good
38:07to see you again.
38:09He decided to kick off
38:10his conquest
38:10by destroying
38:11the Animarium.
38:12Although the Wild Zords
38:13fight valiantly,
38:14it's not enough.
38:15One by one,
38:16Master Org
38:17effortlessly slices
38:18them into extinction.
38:19Falcon Zord,
38:20watch out!
38:21He's destroying
38:26the Wild Zords!
38:27The End of the Zords
38:28means that the Rangers
38:29no longer have any powers
38:31or hope of protecting
38:32the world from
38:33Master Org's terror.
38:34Seeing these sentient
38:35animal fighters
38:35fall in battle
38:36right before the Rangers'
38:37eyes,
38:38made for a disturbing scene.
38:40Your Wild Zords
38:41are finally extinct,
38:43and soon you
38:44and the whole human race
38:45will be gone as well!
38:47Number 11.
38:48Imperius' Dark Wish.
38:50Power Rangers Mystic Force.
38:52The Mystic Force Rangers
38:53learn the hard way
38:54that they should never
38:55stop appreciating
38:56what they have.
38:57After winning
38:57their fair share
38:58of match-ups,
38:59they become overly
39:00dependent on using
39:01their magic
39:01and keep looking
39:02for mystical shortcuts.
39:04Sadly,
39:04their laziness
39:05costs them dearly
39:06when the vile Imperius
39:07takes advantage
39:08of their powers
39:09to make an evil wish.
39:10I grant you one wish!
39:12Oh, I'm gonna regret this.
39:14I wish there were never
39:16Mystic Force Power Rangers!
39:18No!
39:18No!
39:20The villain changes reality
39:21so that the Power Rangers
39:22never came to their
39:23hometown of Briarwood.
39:25As a result,
39:26all the good magic
39:26and color is sucked away.
39:28The city is left
39:29at the mercy of the darkness.
39:31Worst of all,
39:31our heroes are powerless.
39:33All they have
39:34is the memories
39:34of their old lives
39:35and the knowledge
39:36they caused all this
39:37by taking their magic
39:38for granted.
39:39Well, it has to be perfect.
39:42Big,
39:43but not too big.
39:45And I want a cake.
39:48Number 10.
39:49Alex is struck down.
39:50Power Rangers Time Force.
39:52Time Force is undeniably
39:54one of the most
39:54mature seasons of the show.
39:56It cemented its role
39:57as a serious series
39:58from day one.
39:59At the very beginning
40:00of the series,
40:01Alex was the original
40:02Red Time Force Ranger
40:03and Pink Ranger
40:04Jen's fiancée.
40:05He's tasked with
40:06bringing in
40:06the mutant warlord Rancic.
40:12In the season premiere,
40:14the two clash,
40:15but Rancic comes out on top
40:16and viciously
40:17strikes Alex in the back.
40:19He lies in his fiancée's arms
40:20and entrusts her
40:21to finish the mission
40:22he would never get to complete.
40:24For longtime fans,
40:25the sight of a Red Ranger
40:26dying was incredibly intense
40:28and depressing.
40:29While Alex would eventually
40:30come back due to time travel,
40:32his relationship with Jen
40:33was never the same.
40:35Number 9.
40:50Murloc Toys with Sky
40:51Power Rangers SPD
40:52Murloc is essentially treated
40:54like the Hannibal Lecter
40:55of the Power Rangers franchise.
40:57Since he has the ability
40:58to travel through
40:59reflective surfaces,
41:00he's kept locked away
41:01in a remote facility.
41:02But Murloc gets a visitor
41:03when Blue Ranger Sky
41:05needs information
41:05on a fugitive.
41:07A visitor?
41:08What a rare treat.
41:10This isn't a social visit.
41:12I'm here on official
41:13SPD business.
41:15I want to ask you
41:15some questions.
41:16The villain agrees
41:17to give up vital info
41:18if the hero recounts
41:20his saddest memory.
41:21Reluctantly,
41:22Sky tells the story
41:23of how his Red Ranger father
41:24didn't come home one day.
41:26And fought
41:27until the bitter end.
41:28Once the hero sheds
41:40a single tear,
41:41Murloc escapes his cell
41:42through the tear's reflection.
41:44What makes the scene
41:44worse in hindsight
41:45is the fact that
41:46the villain slayed Sky's father.
41:48Murloc literally capitalized
41:50on the pain he caused
41:51to escape
41:51and hurt even more people.
41:54Number 8.
41:54Trakina Goes Too Far
41:56Power Rangers Lost Galaxy
41:58After gaining more power,
42:00the big bad Trakina
42:01completely snaps
42:02and orchestrates
42:03a ruthless attack
42:04on the peaceful city
42:05of Terabenture.
42:06Welcome back,
42:08Terabenture.
42:08Not only does she directly
42:17assault the colony
42:18with her ship,
42:19but she attaches bombs
42:20to her Stingwingers
42:21to blow up anything
42:22they come in contact with.
42:23They go on to destroy
42:24or seriously damage
42:25both structures
42:26and Megazords.
42:27Oh no!
42:28The Megazords!
42:29They've been destroyed!
42:33Now nothing can stop!
42:35Even her loyal general
42:36Villamax
42:37is disgusted
42:38by her carelessness.
42:39What makes this invasion
42:40even more horrifying
42:41is how closely
42:42it parallels
42:43other real-world tragedies.
42:44Scenes like this
42:45showed that there are
42:46villains that will go
42:47to truly disturbing lengths
42:48to beat the Rangers.
42:50Number 7.
42:51Ranzik's Hatred
42:52Power Rangers Time Force
42:54Despite being a kid's show,
42:56Time Force was not afraid
42:57to tackle heavy subjects
42:58like Prejudice.
42:59The audience eventually
43:00learns that Hatred
43:01is why the main villain
43:02Ranzik became a criminal.
43:04As it turns out,
43:05he was born as a mutant
43:06due to a random accident.
43:07And as the world above
43:09dreamed of perfect DNA,
43:12their nightmare,
43:13a mutant,
43:15was born.
43:19Society rejected Ranzik
43:21solely because
43:21he looked different.
43:22Since he couldn't bear
43:23to live in a world
43:24that wouldn't accept him,
43:25he decides to raise
43:26an army of his own kind
43:27to make humans
43:28suffer for rejecting him.
43:29The villains of this season
43:38only exist
43:39because society
43:40wasn't willing
43:40to give him a chance.
43:41While Power Ranger
43:42big bads don't always
43:43get extensive backstories,
43:44we definitely understood
43:45why Ranzik was so evil.
43:47Number 6.
43:48Trini's Death
43:49Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
43:50Once and Always
43:51Following the tragic
43:53real-life passing
43:54of Yellow Ranger
43:54actress Thuy Trang,
43:56the Mighty Morphin
43:5730th Anniversary Special
43:58finally addresses
43:59the fate of her character,
44:00Trini.
44:01Shockingly,
44:02a robotic version
44:03of Rita Repulsa
44:03strikes her down
44:04with an energy blast
44:05in a battle.
44:06Billy!
44:11Billy!
44:11Billy!
44:12Billy!
44:12Billy!
44:12Billy!
44:12Billy!
44:12Billy!
44:12Billy!
44:12Billy!
44:13Billy!
44:13It's not the first time
44:14a ranger has ever died
44:15in a fight,
44:15but it is the first time
44:17that we see this
44:17Rita ever kill
44:18one on screen.
44:19Goodbye, Trini Kwan!
44:22If anyone needs me,
44:24I'll be in the dark dimension
44:25planning my revenge!
44:27In fact,
44:28the special is also
44:28the first time
44:29Mighty Morphin
44:30ever uses the word
44:30kill.
44:31Trini's death
44:32doesn't just seal
44:33the character's fate,
44:34but also shows
44:34how Repulsa
44:35goes down
44:35a much more lethal path.
44:37All in all,
44:38it's a moment
44:38that undeniably
44:39shifts this franchise
44:40into a much
44:41darker direction.
44:43Number 5.
44:44The Power Rangers
44:44Lose Their Base
44:45Power Rangers Turbo
44:46When the good mentors
44:48are away,
44:48the devious Diva Tox
44:50orders her troops
44:51to attack the power chamber.
44:52You really wanna know
44:54when we attack?
44:56We attack.
44:58No!
45:00Attack!
45:01The Rangers attempt
45:02to fight back
45:03against the continuous forces.
45:05Unfortunately,
45:06they're grossly outnumbered.
45:07In the end,
45:08the unthinkable happens
45:09when Diva Tox
45:10blows up the power chamber.
45:12The Rangers thankfully
45:12survive the tremendous explosion.
45:15Bye bye, Rangers.
45:17However,
45:27that doesn't make
45:28the whole sequence
45:28any less intense,
45:30and it's painful
45:30to see the normally bright
45:31and majestic power chamber
45:33darkened
45:33and being torn apart
45:34bit by bit.
45:35Up to this point,
45:37Diva Tox
45:37wasn't a very effective villain,
45:39but her destruction
45:39of the power chamber
45:40cemented her place
45:41in franchise evil history.
45:43Number 4
45:45Magna Defender's Past
45:46Power Rangers Lost Galaxy
45:48The Galaxy Rangers
45:49weren't fond of
45:50the Magna Defender's
45:51lone warrior attitude,
45:52but can you blame him
45:53after everything he's endured?
45:54I'll never forgive Scorpius
45:57for what he did to you,
45:58Zika,
45:59or for what he did
46:01to our planet.
46:02Years ago,
46:03he was a gallant,
46:04benevolent warrior
46:05and a father,
46:06but one fateful encounter
46:07with the evil Scorpius
46:08ruined his life.
46:09During the battle,
46:10Magna Defender's son
46:11rushed in
46:12to protect his father,
46:13but Scorpius snuffs
46:14the young soul
46:15right out in front
46:16of his father's eyes.
46:28Since that horrible day,
46:30the Magna Defender
46:31strayed from his righteous path
46:32and became a vengeful,
46:34bitter warrior
46:35determined to make Scorpius pay.
46:37While he could have been
46:37a better team player,
46:38it's understandable
46:39that he'd be so cold
46:40after losing so much.
46:42Number 3
46:43No matter how much time
46:47has passed
46:48since the original
46:49Pink Galaxy Ranger
46:50Kendrick's demise,
46:51it never gets less tragic.
47:06During a tense battle,
47:07the heinous Psycho Pink
47:08unleashes a deadly storm
47:10that threatens to wipe out
47:11Cassie and all of
47:12Terra Venture.
47:13Kendrick rushes in
47:14and silences the storm.
47:16Unfortunately,
47:17her heroic deed
47:18comes at the cost
47:19of her life.
47:20I'm okay.
47:22I'll always be here.
47:24Behind the scenes,
47:25this decision was made
47:26because actress
47:27Valerie Vernon,
47:28who played the ranger,
47:29was undergoing treatment
47:30for leukemia.
47:31It was great to hear
47:31that she recovered
47:32in real life
47:33and was able to
47:33return to the show.
47:35I knew you'd make it here.
47:37Kendrick's!
47:38Oh!
47:42You don't know
47:44how many times
47:45I wished you'd come back.
47:47I missed you.
47:49But until Vernon recovered,
47:50her character's death
47:51served as a bleak dose
47:52of reality
47:53that not everyone
47:54comes back
47:54from a battle alive.
47:56Number 2
47:57Zordon's Death
47:58Power Rangers in Space
47:59During the season finale
48:01of In Space,
48:02the struggle between
48:03good and evil
48:03escalated to an all-out war
48:05throughout the universe.
48:07All the forces of good
48:08were left struggling
48:08to survive.
48:09Longtime ranger mentor
48:10Zordon says the universe
48:12can be saved
48:13if his energy tube
48:14is shattered.
48:15Only the good energy
48:16from my tube
48:16can destroy
48:17the forces of evil.
48:18But Zordon,
48:20what's going to happen
48:20to you?
48:21I will be gone,
48:22but my spirit
48:23will forever live
48:24in all that is good.
48:26Unfortunately,
48:27the only person
48:27around to do it
48:28is the Red Ranger Andros.
48:30After agonizing
48:31over what needs to be done,
48:32the hero agrees
48:33to take Zordon out.
48:34A reluctant blow
48:35from Andros
48:36marks the end of an era.
48:47Not only did Zordon
48:48help many young adults
48:49become heroic warriors,
48:51but the fans at home
48:52spent six seasons with him.
48:53Unlike most ranger deaths,
48:55Zordon's demise
48:56was permanent.

49:14Dr. K unintentionally
49:16starts an apocalypse.
49:17Power Rangers RPM.
49:19Since RPM is set
49:20in a world
49:20where a sentient computer virus
49:22was responsible
49:22for eliminating
49:23most of the human population,
49:24this season's mere existence
49:26is pretty dark.
49:28I am Vengex.
49:29Your world is now my world
49:31and your time is now over.
49:33But nothing could have prepared fans
49:35for the reveal
49:35of how the world got this way.
49:37Power Ranger mentor
49:38Dr. K reveals that
49:40she was a child prodigy,
49:41forced to remain inside
49:42for most of her formative years.
49:44In an attempt to escape
49:58the agency
49:59that had imprisoned her,
50:00she created a virus
50:01to disrupt their system.
50:03But when Dr. K's plans
50:04are interrupted,
50:04her creation
50:05escapes out into the world.
50:07She has to live
50:20with the knowledge
50:20that many lives,
50:21including the loved ones
50:22of some of her rangers,
50:24were lost
50:24because she wanted freedom.
50:26Which scene with the rangers
50:27filled you with dread?
