The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers opening theme was perfect. In exactly 20 seconds, it explains the bad guys, the good guys, the fact that they morph, and a huge robot. That's it. Then the credits roll. You know all you need to know going into the episode in 20 seconds.

In the first episode, 15 minutes was used to explain why five random teens became rangers. That's really all you needed to get to the action. Think about it. That very concept is absurd. It's best to spend as little time on it as possible. You can spend a lot of time on storytelling, even multiple episodes, but within the context of your own universe. When it comes to explaining why your concept makes sense, there's only so much you can say to convince me to believe it. At the end of the day, it's fantasy.

I heard that the new Power Rangers move has them morph only in the last 20 minutes. Really? This is the same argument I have with video game tutorials that are way too long. That's why I like Dark Souls. Supposedly the new Zelda, too. Just cut the crap and let us get on with it.

i agree, nothing beats the original theme music and cast

That is false. Nothing you say beats them, why? What was so great about them that none of the other Rangers from the following 24 years beats them out? Quickly, tell me anything, ANYTHING, defining about Trini other than she was the Yellow Ranger who just so happened to be Asian. Other than being some viewers first crush, what was so special about Kimberly that no other female Ranger, or Pink Ranger specifically possessed. Especially when you factor in the fact that Time Force's Pink Ranger Jen was her team's leader(and MOST of the females on PR were as nice or better looking than Amy Jo Johnson was/is. What made Zack a better Black Ranger than say, Adam who directly followed him, or any other Black Ranger? Granted he was memorable for his Hip-Hopkido, but what else?

The music, I'll give you, considering that quite a few theme songs from other shows seemed to chase & emulate the original. And Go, Green Ranger Go was kickass.

So, in other words the original Rangers were nothing special at all then.

except they were though.

they're what started everything.

if they weren't good, then power rangers wouldn't have become what it did.

Not what I meant. Like I said before there was absolutely nothing special about Kimberly or Trini, only Hip-Hopkido about Zack. Billy was a genius, and Jason was a great fighter but there were alot of great fighter Rangers that followed him...including Tommy. But by contrasts, there were other genius Rangers(Noah from Megaforce & Kam from Ninja Storm), far better Pink Rangers than Kimberly (Jen from Time Force, hell even Kim's replacement in Kat was better), and just as good leader Red Rangers as Jason (Andros & TJ), and any Yellow Ranger was better and more memorable than Trini.

Not taking away the fact that the originals popularised the show, so that it could continue. But as yourself this: if you had to assemble a 6-8 person team of Rangers from all past seasons, outside of Tommy would any of the OG Rangers make the cut?

memorable about the original cast:

Zack: Was always trying to impress chicks.
Jason: nothing special except he was still the leader even when Tommy became the Good green Ranger
Trini: Was An environmental activist
Kimberly: Gymnastics!
billy: Says lots of tech words

Who would i want on a Pr Team:
Zane
Andros
The dog who killed 100 mooks
Dylan from RPM (Which is the most current PR show I'm watching)
Trent from dino Thunder
Adam as long as he can use Bankai and other Soul Reaper powers! :)
Billy as Tech back up (same role as Zeo)
