Did Adam just go, “Hey Ashley and Carlos once helped me fight Piranhatrons, that’s a good enough reason to make them Rangers,” and everyone else said, “Sure?” Cassie and TJ are both new to Angel Grove, so we know that no one knows them. We also meet Ashley once as she and Carlos keep hitting on each other for a couple episodes. Psych! They choose three strangers and a kid Adam coaches in soccer who has problems with teamwork.Īdam coaches Carlos, and when we meet Carlos, it’s because he struggles with teamwork. So, who do we get? Well, the Rangers choose people they know to be good and pure. The reason we’re given is basically, “you guys are adults now that you graduated a couple of months ago and so you shouldn’t be Power Rangers anymore.” That’s a dumb reason. For whatever reason, there’s a sand hourglass and time limit for this whole thing to happen, but that’s never explained at all. This is the worst change of the guards yet. Then, 19 episodes in, all of the Rangers except Justin pass the torch. Stone in charge of the Juice Bar (I’ll touch a bit more on this later). Ernie also leaves for a random reason leaving Lt. Alpha 6 has a very annoying voice and talks like a 10-year old white kid trying to speak ebonics from the mid-90s. Alpha is replaced by Alpha 6, which is probably the worst thing to ever happen to the show.
This is to help the Rangers learn and grow more, but it’s very annoying. Zordon just seems done with everything and is like, “Peace out!” He’s replaced by Dimitria, who is insufferable for the majority of the season as she’ll only speak in questions. In the first three episodes, Zordon and Alpha just leave. Now, let’s talk about a lot of the transitions that happened in Turbo.
What!? At least when the villain was on the moon, it made more sense as to why they could see what the Rangers are up to. We see it come up from lakes, coolers, cups of smoothie, and more. OK, partway through, Divatox changes locations, but the interior is identical and she still uses a magic periscope that can pop up from literally any liquid. This could’ve been better spent on the monster fights in my opinion. This change of pace just gave more time for us to see what Divatox is doing (usually not very interesting) and more time on the Ranger story. Eventually, Divatox moves from her submarine to a space base, and this leads to her dropping this whole bomb thing. Heck, the majority of monster fights in the season feel rushed, and I swear take no more than about three minutes per episode. They cram a lot into each episode, but instead of feeling satisfying, it just feels rushed. This creates an episode structure of a Ranger-focused story, a detonator being placed, Bulk and Skull antics, Rangers eventually finding the detonator and dealing with it, real quick megazord battle, resolution of aforementioned Ranger story. In the show, she doesn’t really have a goal? Throughout all 45 episodes, she briefly talked about defeating the Rangers, taking over Earth, etc., but for the first half of the season, she simply has her henchminions plant bombs that I guess are supposed to be strong enough to destroy the world or something, but it always fails. In the movie, Divatox wants to marry Maligor to get his power to be the best space pirate out there.

Now, Hillary Shepard and Carol Hoyt do create a villain that does lean into the goofiness and camp of the series which is fun, but that doesn’t make her any more competent or coherent. On top of Justin being annoying (albeit I will admit that it is impressive how he’s the only one smart enough to do a lot of stuff like try attacking a villain while they monologue or go straight to his morpher while fighting a monster), there’s Divatox. This season just seems to have problem after problem with it. Why did Zordon recruit him? Was it simply because he learned the Rangers’ identities? That’s hardly a good reason. Zordon just decides they need new powers for this mission. The Rangers still have their Zeo powers though and they work. Up until this point, there has always been a reason for an upgrade. Another weird thing is that there’s no real reason for the Rangers to get the Turbo powers. Watching the film, I noticed that a lot of the time, the other Rangers don’t even like him.

The movie also features the swift transition from Rocky DeSantos to Justin Stewart, a twelve year old kid. It is kind of fun to watch though, and it was cool to have Jason and Kimberly return, even if they do literally nothing. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie to be exact.
