Hey, if they’re recycling something old, then so am I.
Hasbro has begun uploading episodes of their “new” Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Re-Ignition series… which is basically an upscaled version of the first season of Mighty Morphin with an added “Mighty Morphin Minute” featuring some annoying dude spouting some trivia and lore. Other than a slight change on the title card and also that one minute of whatever, it’s the same Mighty Morphin series you’ve seen countless times, but now it looks “nicer” or something.
You have to admire the hustle on Hasbro’s part… or maybe they’re following the Gordon Ramsay approach of uploading the same content over and over for several years while finding new ways of spinning it so that it doesn’t seem like you’re watching the same stuff over and over again. For those of us who actually go on the channel to look up the playlists, you can find most of the old Power Rangers seasons organized into playlists. They’re not Super Duper 16K or whatever, but at least you don’t have to wait for the slow drip and there’s no punk kid trying to sound cool spouting facts over a show that was around long before he was a fetus in his mother’s womb.
I miss Dave Mallow.
