I never realized how much of Lost Galaxy looked like Starship Troopers.

The saddest part about Kendrix’s death is that the actress had leukemia.

[muriok]

Forgot how mature AF this franchise could be, dang

[ElquiHayashi]

"Dark"est moments on power Maybe I don't feel these are dark since I'm used to Sentai.... The only ones that I felt was kinda sad was 8 and 4.

[andeeharry]

Thanks for sharing. I wondered what happened to Zordon and why he suddenly disappeared. All that time looking for the mentor and then nothing....now I understand it after all this time....thank you.

That Green Candle was such a dumbass thing in both PR and Sentai. at least Tommy didn't DIE TO IT(Burai)

[andrewjaramillo]

I don't have a problem with the list but I'd add one and that being when the Dinozords are killed. I balled my eyes out watching them die. It truly changed my thoughts on life. Still think about that scene

[alexhart]

I feel so bad for all of these characters who went through this stuff

[robincasey]

loved power rangers growing up and even now but lost intrest in the newer versions after mystic force, i mean mystic force wasnt that great and SPD was okay but none compare to the ones before

[jamonbrown]

RPM is definitely the most mature power series come on now they are fighting in a post apocalyptic world half of humanity was killed off its a waste land they are fighting for survival

[crealkillr]

If you thought kingdom hearts was confusing, the power ranger franchise was all over the place. Not surprised at all the dark themes. I am surprised i grew up with this show, and only now see these themes. Death has to be part of a "fighting super hero" show, since you "kill" the bad guys, and the hero shouldnt be invincible. That said, crazy at how much ive missed.

Starship Troopers gear!?!? I missed that one!!! 😱😱😱

[AyaNatsu]

Lost Galaxy and Time Force have the greatest plots ever, mature characters and scenes. I wish they had keep the young adult essence of their original Sentai sources in the next generations.

[davidpumpkinsjr.]

I maintain that Kendrix never died. I think the blast knocked her out of space-time, possibly into the Morphin Grid itself. The state Kendrix was in seemed to be similar to what the Sentinel Knight was dealing with. When they returned the Quasar Sabers to the stone, the restoration of balance allowed her to slip back through.

To me the saddest moment when I looked up what happened to the original " yellow

[Mastermind]

I'd personally put Zordon's death at #1. Like you said, we got to know this cosmic mentor to a lot of rangers for over half a decade. To see him make the ultimate sacrifice, and to have a close friend do it, was a very emotional moment. Watching every big bad in the galaxy we've seen up to this point get hit by his energy wave and either be transformed or destroyed really brought this years long epic saga to a close.

[pleasestopgoodsir]

no matter how "childish" people say the power rangers are. They will always be a badass group fighting to save their planet.

[biggeek]

I am NOT surprised that Trakeena’s insanity would show up on this list, it’s FREAKING DARK! Amy scared the absolute HELL out of me
