If you grew up with the first iteration of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, one of the elephants in the room as you got older was the casting of the Black and Yellow Ranger. On the hit Fox kids TV series, released in Aug. 1993, Walter Emanuel Jones, who is African American, portrayed the first Black Ranger, and Thuy Trang, who was Vietnamese, portrayed the first Yellow Ranger. It's hard to believe that the series was unaware of the obvious racial stereotypes, but according to the show's head writer, it wasn't something that crossed their minds.

The Power Rangers franchise was recently covered on the Investigation Discovery series Hollywood Demons and, via Variety, head writer Tony Oliver addressed the casting stereotypes of the original Black and Yellow Ranger. Oliver admitted that it was a "mistake" to have the casting go in that direction, but it was something that they didn't think...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debuted on Fox Kids in August 1993 and became an immediate hit. Even now, it's still one of the most beloved eras of the long-running franchise. However, given when it first aired, the series was, at times, a little culturally insensitive. 

For example, a Black actor, Walter Emanuel Jones, was cast as the Black Ranger and an Asian actress, Thuy Trang, was chosen to portray the Yellow Ranger. That's been discussed a lot over the years, with those who worked on the series at the time facing a lot of criticism.

Talking on the "Dark Side of the Power Rangers" episode of Discovery's Hollywood Demons, former Power Rangers showrunner Tony Oliver said, "None of us are thinking stereotypes." He explained that was how the series got to air and ran for two seasons with "the Black character the Black Ranger and the Asian character the Yellow Ranger.

Tony Oliver, head writer of the good old Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, is admitting that it was a mistake to cast a Black actor as the Black Ranger(Walter Emanuel Jones) and Thuy Trang, an Asian actor, as the Yellow Ranger. The news comes after the investigation documentary Hollywood Demons’ April 7, 2025, episode doubled down on the superhero crime-fighting series.

The episode “Dark Side of the Power Rangers” zeroed in on key details that while MightyMorphin Power Rangers debuted on Fox Kids in August 1993 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon during the next three years, it was only after two seasons that an assistant highlighted that matching actors’ ethnicities to their ranger colors perpetuated stereotypes. According to series co-creator Shuki Levy in a 2013 interview with Complex and reiterated in the latest episode of Hollywood Demons by Oliver, the issue wasn’t intentional, and it happened simply because they were...

One aspect of the Power Rangers franchise that has kept fans invested for many years is the emphasis on legacy. From Mighty Morphin’, the series has followed a mostly singular timeline, with each series taking place in the same continuity as the previous. With this lengthy history, there is always the possibility of past Rangers coming back, whether in team-up episodes, or in anniversary specials.

With the release of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always in 2023, fans have gotten to see a past Ranger team return for an all-new adventure. With the success of Once & Always among the fandom, many have begun wondering what other entries in the...

Austin St. John, Walter Emanuel Jones, and Thuy Trang left Power Rangers midway through season 2, and the franchise would have been drastically different had the original Red, Black, and Yellow Rangers remained on the team. With three cast members set to exit the series after not getting their contracts renewed, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers essentially had two options. Either Jason, Zack, and Trini were going to be recast, or the show would have to introduce three new characters. Power Rangers went with the latter and introduced Rocky (Steve Cardenas), Aisha (Karan Ashley), and Adam (Johnny Yong Bosch).

The Power Rangers franchise would never be the same again after the exits of the original Red, Yellow, and Black Rangers for several reasons. Firstly, the arrival of three new characters set a precedent for “replacement Rangers,” a tradition that would be carried over through the rest of the show. Power Rangers would...

The Power Rangers timeline isn't always clear and straightforward. While most seasons are set in the years in which they air, others are set in the future or even parallel universes. Things can be even trickier to understand when there are specials and moves that exist outside the main television series but are still canon.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always has a confusing place in the franchise's timeline. A reunion special featuring many returning actors from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; some have found it difficult to understand when it's set because of how it ties into Power Rangers Spd, Power Rangers Dino Fury, and Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. Executive Producer Simon Bennett has confirmed when Once & Always is set, but it's also possible to understand simply by paying close attention.

A new Power Rangers comic fixes a 27-year-old mistake by focusing on the franchise's third Yellow Ranger, Tanya. Tanya never appeared in Power Rangers again after Turbo. Most Zeo Rangers eventually returned to the franchise, with Tanya being the only exception.

An upcoming Power Rangers comic book centered on the franchises third Yellow Ranger is fixing a 27-year-old mistake about the TV show that always bothered me. While most Power Rangers comics take place in their own continuity and do not interest much with the main Power Rangers chronology, they are a great opportunity to revisit the TV show through different lenses. Many of the Power Rangers comics follow the Mighty Morphin characters, but they have incorporated names from other seasons through multiverse, time travel, or standalone stories.

As much as I enjoyed the recent Power Rangers seasons, some of my favorite stories in recent years have come from the comics.

Following rumors over the weekend, TV Line has confirmed that Hasbro's Power Rangers cinematic universe, which was expected to include both an original television show and new films, that had been in development at Netflix for the past two years is no longer moving forward at the streamer.

X user @Jinsakuu was the first to break the story, before the trade was able to obtain confirmation. In their initial tweet, the online scooper explained, "Due to the lack of staff and all the departments and responsibilities Hasbro had to take on. They’re lisencing Power Rangers Toys and Media off to other companies. As we seen with playmates who now own full control of the toys they’re doing the same with the show rights. Also they’re trying to be as hands off as possible and still own the franchises revenues. So good news maybe ??"

A potential Power Ragners show has been cancelled after 2 years in development at Netflix, leaving plans for a reboot in limbo. Hasbro now seeks a new creative partner for the Power Rangers franchise. The reasons for the show's sudden cancellation have not been revealed.

A new Power Rangers Netflix show has reportedly been canceled after two years in development. Debuting in 1993 as the TV show Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the franchise has grown to become one of the most beloved and successful in popular culture, consisting of 30 seasons of television across 22 themed shows, three theatrical movies, and a television special. The 30th and most recent season, 2023's Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, was intended to be the last within the established canon, with a reboot season planned for a 2025 release.

However, it seems this will no longer be the case, as the newest Power Rangers series, which was in development with Netflix,...

The original Power Rangers movie is not canon, only Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie fits in the main chronology. The Power Rangers movie suits had armored designs, making them more realistic and advanced compared to the show's classic spandex. The 1995 Power Rangers movie is a standalone, nostalgic experience.

Rewatching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) almost 30 years later can be very nostalgic, but it also reveals some harsh truths about the first Power Rangers film. There have been only three theatrical Power Rangers movies since the inception of the franchise in 1993, with only one of them being canon to the main Power Rangers chronology. As a Super Sentai adaptation, the focus of the Power Rangers franchise had always been on the small screen. Still, the release of the Mighty Morphin movie in 1995 was a huge event.

The Power Rangers movie was not a box office hit, yet it found...

Ivan Ooze only appeared in the 1995 movie, not in the TV show or comics. Ivan Ooze's design and humor perfectly suited the Power Rangers universe. Power Rangers: The Movie remains a standalone classic, non-canon but nostalgic.

One of the most iconic Power Rangers villains of all time never actually appeared on the TV show and has only one appearance in the franchise. More than 30 years after the premiere of Mighty Morphin, the Power Rangers universe has seen countless villains between major antagonists and monsters-of-the-week. Most of them originated from Super Sentai shows, but characters like Lord Zedd or Astronema were created for Power Rangers. Even though Power Rangers continues to release new series and comic book runs, the nostalgia over the original show has shaped the franchise for years.

This is why it is quite common for Mighty Morphin characters to return in other Power Rangers projects. For example, Netflixs...

The Power Rangers franchise has turned certain colors into synonyms of different values. Red Rangers are leaders, Blue Rangers are loyal followers, and White Rangers are incredibly powerful warriors. However, even after 30 years, not all colors have gotten such a transparent definition. For example, Yellow Rangers don't really have something that makes them who they are. This doesn't mean they aren't often incredible.

Rarely leaders, the Yellow Rangers are often underrated members of their team, but hardcore fans know better than to underestimate them. Whether it is because of their humane nature, their superpowers, or their mental strength, the Yellow Ranger often stands out from their peers.

The 1995 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie was not part of the official Power Rangers timeline, but it remains a popular and memorable part of the franchise's nostalgia. Jason David Frank, the late actor who played Tommy Oliver, made multiple appearances as many different Ranger colors in various Power Rangers shows and movies. Other cast members, such as Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost, Karan Ashley, Johnny Yong Bosch, Steve Cardenas, Paul Schrier, and Jason Narvy, also had significant roles and continued to be involved in the Power Rangers universe.

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie cast helped bring Power Rangers to the big screen for the very first time in 1995, and while most of the actors continued to be part of the franchise, others never reprised their roles.

With its cast of familiar faces already back at the forefront, star David Yost reveals how he helped bring back one original writer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always.

The original Green PowerRanger appears in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, raising the question of whether Jason David Frank filmed scenes for the reunion. Original Tommy Oliver actor Jason David Frank died in November 2022, leaving an enormous legacy within the Power Rangers franchise. It must be noted, though, that Once & Always was filmed before David Frank’s passing.

The Power Rangers reunion addresses the original Yellow Ranger Trini’s (Thuy Trang) fate in the story, and introduces a new character – Mihn (Charlie Kersh), Trini’s daughter.

Unlike most other anniversary specials for the beloved tokusatsu franchise, "Once & Always" does not feature several iterations of Power Rangers meeting, like "Forever Red" or "Once a Ranger." Instead, this is entirely focused on the first series in the franchise, the multi-season "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and its two generations of Rangers.

When Repulsa's armies start attacking Rangers around the world, new heroes will rise and the Power Rangers will see their legacy and their abilities tested.

“Our Ranger family runs deep,” Jones told Entertainment Weekly of reuniting with his co-stars more than 30 years later.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers made its debut way back in 1993, instantly becoming a hit for the after school crowd. Thirty years later, Netflix has put together a special honoring three decades of a television franchise that remains in the hearts of those who grew up with it. The special, subtitled Once & Always, is making waves for bringing together some of the original cast, including Blue Ranger Billy (David Yost) and Black Ranger Zach (Walter Emanuel Jones). Joining them from Season 2 will be Steve Cardenas who played the second Red Ranger Rocky, and Karan Ashley who played the second Yellow Ranger Aisha, along with Johnny Yong Bosch who played the second Black Ranger Adam. Season 3’s Catherine Sutherland, who played the second Pink Ranger Kat, is also returning. Some very sad absences from the original cast include original Yellow Ranger Trini, played by Thuy Trang, who died in a car accident...

Netflix has released the trailer for the upcoming Power Rangers reunion, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always 30th Anniversary Special. The upcoming special will be a scripted event celebrating the enduring legacy of the first installment of the now iconic Power Rangers franchise. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a television show that premiered on Fox Kids and was adapted from the Japanese series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. The series chronicled the adventures of the six Power Rangers and quickly became one of the most far-reaching pop culture sensations of the 1990s.

Now, Netflix's new trailer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always 30th Anniversary Special shows the return of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

The trailer teases even more adventures from the original 1993 cast and guest actors as they suit up in Angel Grove for the first time in 30 years. Fans also get a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes of filming the special in the trailer,...

"Power Rangers" is one of the biggest franchises to come out of the '90s. Based on the Japanese franchise "Super Sentai," the "Power Rangers" series follows a group of teenagers chosen to fight evil with the help of super suits and giant robots that morph together to make an even bigger robot.

When it premiered, the series was the closest '90s kids got to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You got a team of superheroes fighting cartoonish villains by punching the hell out of them, with a more diverse team than even the current MCU has.

And just like the MCU, the "Power Rangers" franchise has an expansive universe with a couple of different timelines, and stories that go to space, and travel to different galaxies, yet they all somehow have the same technology as our timeline. Still, no matter how many seasons there are, there is arguably no...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers may have debuted 30 years ago, but it spawned a franchise with a lasting impact on pop culture that continues to this day. But even as old fans and new viewers enjoy the latest Power Rangers seasons on Netflix or read spin-off stories from Boom! Comics, their attention often returns to the season that started it all. Names like Kimberly Hart and Billy Cranston resonate through the decades, whether the current set of rangers is fighting Rita Repulsa or an entirely different threat.

Naturally, that means fans are always ready to add another Mighty Morphin Power Rangers piece to their collection, and Diamond Select Toys is equally as ready to provide. Since Power Rangers Cosmic Fury coincides with the 30th anniversary of the original series, welcoming iconic cast members back to the fold for the big year, now is a perfect time to celebrate with gorgeous merchandise.

Eddie Redmayne To Be Honored With Zurich’s Golden Eye

British actor Eddie Redmayne will be feted with the Zurich Film Festival’s Golden Eye Award for his career achievements at its upcoming edition running from September 22 to October 2. The actor will receive the honor ahead of the European premiere of Tobias Lindholm’s serial killer thriller The Good Nurse on September 25.

Citing Oscar-winning Redmayne’s diverse credits including Fantastic Beasts, Trial Of The Chicago 7 and Theory Of Everything, Zff artistic director Christian Jungen described the actor as one of “contemporary cinema’s most versatile actors” adding, “he furnishes his characters with a rare human depth and captivates us with his extraordinary powers of expression.”

Redmayne was previously at Zurich in 2007 in the that’s opening film Savage Grace, in which he co-starred opposite Julianne Moore. He will also participate in a Zurich Masters session during this trip to the Swiss festival.

The last Power Rangers film failed to resonate with audiences, but now the franchise will be getting another reboot with some significant changes. The lineup will be pretty different this time around and though no casting has been announced just yet, Paramount is reportedly interested in a black actress taking on the role of the Yellow Ranger.

Fans of the long-running franchise have seen the members of the team change several times, of course. Every new chapter calls for some fresh talent, and Paramount’s upcoming Power Rangers reboot will look to start over after the less than stellar 2017 film from Lionsgate.

For the upcoming reinvention, our sources – the same ones who said Jim Carrey’s Mask will cameo in Space Jam 2 and a new Scream movie is in the works, both of which are now confirmed – tell us that Paramount is reportedly eyeing a black actress to play the Yellow Ranger.
