Godzilla vs. the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Godzilla Vs Power Rangers) (Godzilla Vs Power Ranger II)

Product Information

Artistic License: Applied to history, geography, physics, computer science, paleontology, and biology, among others. In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Snizzard was originally voiced by Bryan Cranston, who went on to play Joe Brody in Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Scorpina is a minion of Rita's who can transform into a giant scorpion-like creature. Other examples of arthropod monsters are Stag Beetle, Commander Crayfish, Spidertron and Grumble Bee. All Your Powers Combined: A Monster of the Week will show up every once in a while with this ability, usually with the sapped Power Ranger abilities. Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Completely averted: the rangers' helmets are a distinctive, iconic part of their costumes every season. Befriending the Enemy: Due to a growing friendship Bulk and Skull become subtly less antagonistic toward the Rangers while they're in civilian mode over time. This becomes more blatant in an episode of Power Rangers Turbo where T.J., not believing Bulk and Skull would steal, helps them find the thief who framed them. Afterwards Bulk says "T.J. is pretty cool", and Cassie replies that T.J. thinks the same of them. Arguably, it is T.J., out of the other Rangers, who was probably the kindest to those two, which definitely helped to make the relationship between them and the Rangers better (of course, that is not to say that there weren't any occasions where the previous Rangers, before T.J. et al, threw them the bone— there were subtle moments). Generic Doomsday Villain: Villains turn into this when not much attempt is given to their characterization.

Clarke's Third Law: Invoked and subverted across various seasons. In the first few series, the Power Rangers received their powers, weapons and vehicles from Zordon, explicitly identified as an alien wizard, even if their first new Zords were created by genius teammate Billy Cranston, and the Space Rangers relied on weapons provided by Zordon even if it simply appeared to be advanced technology. Magic continued to be the source of the Rangers' power immediately after Zordon's death in Lost Galaxy, but from this point, series such as Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, SPD, Operation Overdrive and RPM were explicitly identified as using advanced technology as the source of their weapons and vehicles, even if it is generally implied that their powers all come from the same core source of the Morphing Grid. Applied in real life too; for the first year Hasbro had control of the franchise it was still officially referred to as "Saban's Power Rangers" despite Saban no longer having any control.

Recruit Teenagers with Attitude: Actually a Beam Me Up, Scotty! invoked situation, as the line in the opening is "Recruit a team of Teenagers with Attitude. In the show proper, Zordon tells Alpha to find "5 overbearing and overemotional humans," which Alpha translates to mean teenagers. Aliens Speaking English: It doesn't matter whether you're American, from a galaxy far away or from another culture 3000 years ago, you will be speaking English. Fanon likes the idea that the Power has as a part of it a universal translator, like Translator Microbes. Conservation of Ninjutsu: There are many instances of a Monster of the Week beating up an entire team of Rangers, but when there are dozens of monsters, these are degraded to Elite Mooks. Ascended Fanboy: Crops up from time to time since Ninja Storm, though Justin of Turbo was the first. Different States of America: The city of Los Angeles was first settled by the British instead of the Spanish and is called Angel Grove, and a number of other cities have alternate names, indicating similar alternate histories; most prominently, Boston was named Corinth in Power Rangers RPM.
