Netflix’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reunion trailer is happy and sad

Unapologetically delicious as it gets Mighty Morphin Power Rangers could be, the hit ‘90s TV series has left behind a bittersweet legacy, one that the first real trailer for Netflix’s reunion special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Once and Alwaysis fully leaning towards. It’s time to suit up and do all the moves, but also maybe cry a little.

One of the most surprising aspects of the trailer’s plot, which on the surface is pretty absurd, is this. Rita Repulsa, the original villain, is back, this time in a robotic body. She has a mad plan to take down the Power Rangers in the past. So Zack (Walter Emanuel Jones) and Billy (David Yost), the original Blue- and Black Rangers, meet up with Zack (Walter Emanuel Jones), and the Red and Pink Rangers of the second era. Mighty MorphinRocky (Steve Cardenas), Kat (Catherine Sutherland), were able to put an end to her.

This setup will allow you to: You can’t go wrong once and you will never be the same again ends up being a reminder of what’s been lost along the way, as the new character introduced in the trailer, Minh (Charlie Kersh) is revealed to be the daughter of Trini, the Yellow Ranger (the late Thuy Trang) who was killed by Rita. Also, while it’s unexplained in the trailer, footage of the Green Ranger also implies that there may be some form of tribute to the late Jason David Frank, who died by suicide last year.

Above all, the trailer looks earnest — something that a niche franchise like Power Rangers, which at times had a less than lustrous history, deserves in a 30th anniversary special.

Catching is possible Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Once and Always You can watch it on Netflix starting April 19.
