Before anything i might have thought , it hit me : Learning Disabilities . Specifically math . I mostly blamed myself , the teachers didnt help only made things worse , my family shunned me and my childhood was ruined .I was sexually violated by both male and female , young and old , i was beaten and put in a coma and still did not recuperate . All in all it was a problem that is very common and could have been resolved without me being torn apart

power rangers time force racism/hate the part where Frax and Nadira are talking Frax : Nadira? If you're to destroy me, then just get it over with. Nadira : I'm not here for revenge. I want to know why do humans and mutants hate each other so much? Frax : Oh, hate? There's a subject I know very well indeed. Humans rejected your father and taught him to hate. Then he destroyed me and soon *I* was filled with hatred as well. It's a vicious cycle that never ends, Nadira. Nadira : But... I'm not sure if *I* hate all humans. Frax : Hah! Don't make me laugh! You're an evil mutant with a heart as black as coal just like your father. Now, get out of my sight! You sicken me! Nadira : I'm sorry what my father did to you, Dr. Fericks. Frax : What? Dr. Fericks : There's hope for her. Nadira : Frax? Frax? Can you hear me? I want to talk to you more about being human. Frax : I am a fully automated mechanical robot. I have no information on being human.

The conversation between Nadira and Frax is honestly one of the most powerful moments in any Power Rangers series. I love how Nadira just takes Frax's anger and hate. She accepts the reality of what happened, doesn't get defensive for her father's sake or try and bargain/reason with Frax that what happened to him was anything more than a tragedy. Knowing there is nothing she can do to change what her father did, Nadira simply acknowledges that she is sorry for what her father did, not to Frax, but to Dr. Ferriks. In doing so, she acknowledges Frax's humanity and demonstrates her willingness to "break the cycle of hate."

The reason why Ranzick did what he did to Dr. Farricks is that he beleives "I act of kindness doesn't undo a lifetime of cruelty",why do think he calls Farricks a fool. As for Eric,he only experienced the evil of the mutates not the good,that's what his prejudice is based on. Plus I bet the crimes of some of the mutates aren't even severe,remember Notacon"s reason for being locked up was cause he stole some food in order to survive due to the fact that people assumed that he was dangerous on the account of his appearance,that could be the same reason why Ranzick got treated the way he did. They couldn't figure out what to make of him at that time. The only sad thing is that Naderia is just going off of what her father beleives and not acting on her own feelings,at least until that one episode where she unwillingly helps delivers a baby and that's when she starts to rethink things

I think another pretty powerful message Power Rangers tried to address was Self-Forgiveness during Power Rangers Lost Galaxy where Karone is forced to confront some of the things she did as Astronema. In the episode where she and Leo have to find a petrified warrior Astronema once defeated and his keys of power in order to restore Leo's powers (and grant him his battleizer), Karone finds the warrior who held the keys still petrified but the keys themselves are gone. Feeling like she failed to redeem this part of herself she asks forgiveness from the warrior and her tears of regret break the petrification. The warrior then tells her, that he forgives her and that now it is time for her to forgive herself before handing Leo his keys and explaining that they will grant him power beyond imagining. The major message here is that you are more than the sum of your past mistakes no matter how awful they can be. You can and do have the ability to change for the better but when you do change, it is important that you acknowledge your mistakes but you must not let yourself be bound by them. You must forgive yourself and move forward in order to heal.

While Time Force did a good job showing us how not to judge someone by how they look it’s worth pointing out that they did do that in an earlier series too. During Power Rangers in Space Cassie stepped up to defend Waspicable a monster who didn’t want to hurt anyone but everyone assumed he did because he looked like and was a monster.

And the fact that the very next episode, the Galaxy Rangers aren’t playing around after Kendrick’s sacrifice. No jokes, no laughs, just full on serious to get their mission done. And when Karone took the mantle, it was amazing redemption for her. And the way she first tried calling the zords was adorable. Edit: Apologies. I know it’s “Karone” but I had autocorrect on.

Top ten life lesson we can learn from power rangers 1. Don't be racist (time force trip takes a stand, ransik lives) Honorable mention .the obvious choice isn't always the best choice (lightspeed rescue trials by fire) - captain Mitchell knows what he's doing .sacrifice for something more important (Dino thunder wave goodbye) - being a ranger is more important .sometimes you just gotta trust someone (ninja storm all about beevil - just gotta know when it's the right person to trust .there is magic. You just gotta know where to find it (mystic force mystic fate) - even if the magic is gone never stop believing it .pai zhua master doesn't ask. He knows (jungle fury to earn your stripes) - A master cannot be a follower . 2. Making a difference (time force worlds apart) 3. Choose your own destiny (time force destiny defeated) 4. No one ranger is more important than the other (spd abandoned) 5. Teamwork (various) 6. Passion doesn't just happen. You make it grow (dino thunder the passion of connor) 7. Breaking rules cannot go unnoticed (ninja storm nowhere to grow) 8. Sometimes the easy way isn't always the best way (mystic force dark wish) 9. Face your problems instead of running away from them (spd shadow) 10. Never give up (wild force)

I always place Kendrix, Karone and Jenn (Pink Galaxy Rangers and Pink Time Force Ranger respectively) on very high pedestals for being some of, if not, the best Pink Rangers. Kimberly might’ve been the first and is honestly great in her own right, and Kendrix, Karone and Jenn proved themselves very special. And Jenn’s vengeful moments to destroy rather than arrest was something I genuinely enjoyed. Wes (Time Force Red) did point her in the right direction, telling her that Alex (former Time Force Red) would do his job by the book, which is good, but I don’t blame her at all for that.

Power Rangers RPM, Dr. K, Gem and Gemma never had a childhood, and possibly taken from their parents.

The death of Kendrix in Lost Galaxy was HEARTBREAKING. But, from what I hear, they left her VA's name in the credits so they could continue to pay her, essentially paying for her leukemia treatments.

Umm dude his son is hanging on to his shoe and slip and fell. Capt mitchel is hanging on to a cliff branch with dana holding on to his neck and ryan dangling on his shoe. His shoe slipped of and ryan was falling. To prevent Ryan's death he made a deal with diabolico to save him in an exchange to keep Ryan until his 20th birthday. He just doesn't want his son to die that he made the hardest decision to save him. Choose. Wait 20 yrs to see him or never again, I pick the first one cuz at least I get to see my son sooner than never even if it took time of convincing to convince him of what happened is the truth. Also even if he want to look for him, Ryan at the time resides at the skull temple. Mostly the power rangers base/command center cannot locate the evil lair. So Mitchell abandoning ryan for so long isn't Mitchell's fault bc only diabolico can save him. Making that hard of decision to save ryan proves how strongly he love ryan and willing to do anything to save him

I'm a die-hard fan, so I've been crying for the past ten minutes. I don't care if Kendrix's death is moot. It's still heart-warming when she comes back. Also, nice job quoting Linkara.

As admirable as it is for them to expose these issues to the generation watching the series, I say half of these is their way of making up their failing to properly tell each story.

Somehow there’s so much water in my eyes at the last clip 😢 The OG Rangers made my childhood so fun. Also the new cast members as well . In wake of Jason David Frank Passing . He’s touched so many lives.

RPM tackles almost all of this in just one season. I think they were the best to tackle death. I'm surprised they weren't included on the list.

The series literally starts by saying that billions of people were murdered mercilessly. Imagine watching RPM, thinking that you're gonna be watching a silly goofy little superhero kids show, and it basically opens up saying "so, genocide happened."

Hasbro hasn’t done bad with the show. Here’s numerous things that have been tackled in Beast Morphers and Dino Fury but be aware of spoilers Be aware of spoilers since I will spoil some things but it’s just to illustrate the point that I’m trying to make I think that’s sufficient spoiler warning space or at least I hope it is for the ones that don’t want to see anything regarding possible spoilers Now first up is with Beast Morphers. Mayor Daniels being a parental figure thought his son wasn’t doing anything worthwhile with his life Ravi had to break up with his girlfriend; Roxy because they became Rangers only to eventually have her be comatose because an evil virus corrupted the morphin process which created avatars of her and Blaze Commander Shaw initially saw Nate as not being fit to being out in the streets without backup Nate and Zoey were both blackmailed by a jealous colleague that wanted to replace Nate Mayor Daniels got corrupted by the evil villain virus Chaku was worried that his daughter wouldn’t accept him because he had became a cyborg Dino Fury let’s see female Green Ranger who is interested in the same sex and there’s actually a few episodes on that There’s been a lot of family dysfunction with Izzy and Javi’s family Izzy’s Mom wasn’t very accepting of her not liking female stuff when Izzy was growing up and while she now accepts it you can tell the pain is still with Izzy because of that since we saw it in an episode their Dad who is the Warden regularly gives Javi a hard time because he doesn’t think music is much of a career

Power Rangers: RPM tackled issues like technological advancement and war. It instills the fear in me that sentient robots could take over the world one day if humans push for technology too far. It is also the first Power Rangers series to show how terrible war can be.

Don't forget government corruption / incompetence, childhood abduction, genocide, mutilation, and so much more. Seriously, despite there being so many fantastic villains in PR, one of the most evil in my mind is Alphabet Soup, even though they only show up briefly and in flashbacks. And it hits extra hard, because Alphabet Soup isn't a fictional villain at all. It's very real. And for as bad as Samurai was, that series seemed to do some tackling of the topic of child soldiers. Because that's what a lot of these Power Rangers are. They're branded as superheroes in colorful tights, but most of them are still kids fighting a war they never had a part in starting. If I remember correctly, the Samurai Rangers were raised as children to become rangers, which essentially meant they were raised to fight in war. Their only purpose was the fight a war that their predecessors started.

@@michaelmonthey5974 And it's not like they have to be overly edgy with it either. As all of these examples in the video demonstrated, you can have a bright and colorful and even goofy setting, and still tackle really heavy and dark themes. RPM balances some of the most heavy and dark themes of any ranger series while still remaining very upbeat and comedic. And yet, when it's time to show the true horrors of their situation, they take themselves so seriously. Billions died. People close to our main characters died. And they aren't coming back. A lesser children's story would have had them in stasis, or captured, or something that was reversible. But RPM straight up told us that these people are permanently GONE. No sugarcoating it either. We see Andrews die on the spot, the life leaving his body as Summer watches helplessly. We see a war-torn and devastated world, and humanity trying to cling onto a spark of existence. And it's the same series where we have a guy like Ziggy to lighten the mood. He comes SO close to be annoying, but he's also a genuine character and the everyman of the team, who has his own tender moments. And to think that RPM's full potential wasn't even realized, due to the many problems behind the scenes. It makes me yearn for a timeline where RPM was not interfered with, and could reach its perfect form.

I'm more surprised that bullying didn't make the cut. It was heavily seen in an episode of both Turbo and Dino Thunder.

In the latest season, Cosmic Fury, one of the serious issues tackled in the show was Javi dealing with losing his right arm. Before getting his prosthetic, he was in shock and then depressed at how this accident would affect his music career, fearing he’d may never play again. I actually asked Chance Perez (Javi’s actor) this topic at 2023 Ranger Stop in Orlando. He says he studied interview videos of amputees in order to get a better understanding of the emotions one goes through when dealing with such loss. And he managed to convey those emotions very well (without going too dark). I thought his performance was done so well. It can help teach others that losing a limb isn’t the end of the world, and that it’s an obstacle one can overcome.

Power Rangers time force is probably my favorite of the series it’s one of the most darkest and it honestly feels real at times. It probably has some of the best acting of any season

When watching Time force, I was mainly agreeing with Lucas‘s point of view in the episode where Katie was questioning if the future had already changed or not.

Power Rangers really is the most mature live-action kid-oriented franchise ever whilst handling the topics very well. Glad to be a fan.

I can relate to Kimberly. My parents divorced back in 2018 and my they keep blaming each other for their failed marriage. I don't wanna pick sides because sometimes you have to understand that some things just weren't meant to be and what matters most is that my parents will always love me no matter what.

This is hands down one of the best lists I've seen on Power Rangers that you guys have done. Especially that last issue. There's an issue that happened in the Boom! Comics series that was never touched upon in the TV series. Tommy has PTSD from being under Rita's spell when he became the Green Ranger. It's an excellent comic series. I hope to see more.

man I miss the old power ranger cause they had episode like these where everything wasn't all kid friendly and alot episode was serious and these days power friend just kid friendly and nothing bad happened like when the last time a power ranger died or a serious topic happened and my favorite ones power ranger in space, lost galaxy, S.P.D

I love Power Rangers it was cheesy but it was funny to watch the Green Ranger and White Ranger always will be my best Power Ranger 🤩❤

On the long-distance relationship thing, it's worth noting that the fact that she was no longer a Power Ranger was also a big challenge. The two of them had bonded in large part due to being fellow Rangers and fighting a war together--so once they no longer had that in common, what was left? Animorphs addressed this as well by having Jake and Cassie break up after the Yeerks were defeated, and despite outrage from the shippers K.A. Applegate stuck to her guns. Also, while I absolutely agree about the No. 1 spot, it should be noted that Power Rangers had already dealt with prejudice before. It's the central theme of the Season 3 episode Stop the Hate Master.

Totally amazing video of power rangers franchises tackle serious issues watch mojo, fantastic job. I love show tackle serious issues makes you think how to change do better too.

can we do a top 10 differences between the power rangers and their sentai version (like how kyuemon/sentai madam odius was gengetsu/sentai galvanax's son, and how messiah/sentai evox died after the first battle, resulting in enter/sentai blaze avatar taking over as the villain)?

The way the older shows dealt with certain life lessons and topic was part of what made them good and some of the characters relatable.

If they make a more mature series, I hope they write it well. Having teenagers save the world can create some big issues. A lot more than the kids' show are willing to show.

While I'm not warm to the idea of making a 'mature power rangers', it would be interesting to see a series that tackled the stress of living a double life more realistically. Perhaps combined with another current very serious issue: Slander. Have the bad guys blame collateral damage on the rangers and say they'll stop attacking the city if the rangers surrender (obviously that's a lie, but it's one some people would be willing to believe).

Race is what makes us human, and seeing Frax's memory wiped clean was heartbreaking because whatever humanity he had was erased and became completely robotic. After Frax is destroyed, Ransik, to add insult to injury, verbally desicrates him; calling Frax useless and worthless. Racism, for a better term, makes us robotic because our humanity diminishes and we forget how to be human. I praise Time Force for tackling such a topic, because it's tricky to talk about it.

TFW Power Rangers (and tokusatsu in general) has more narrative subtlety than modern day, multi-million dollar productions.

Thank you Watchmojo

All shows should be more confident in tackling serious issues, especially kid shows. That way, kids can appreciate them more as they grow up.

Environmental devastation, racism, loss and divorce are the most riveting subjects the Power Rangers ever tackled. It's rather interesting. I enjoyed it all the same.

The fact that this list is comprised solely of the older gen of PR really says something about story telling in the 90s and early 2000s. I think this is why the newer generation of PR never caught my interest, they lacked the heart and relatability the old the school PR had.
