REVIEW: Power Rangers Cosmic Fury

“Cosmic Fury is a concentrated blast of everything you loved about Dino Fury, while stripping away some of the things that bogged the previous two seasons.”

It’s been over thirteen months since Hasbro first officially announced Power Rangers Cosmic Fury on National Power Rangers Day 2022. Who could forget the infamous accidental 1:00am tweet during the last Power Morphicon before the cast left to film in New Zealand again?

Since then, a fervent anticipation for this season has gripped the fanbase, ready to pounce on every scrap of behind the scenes information, tweets from executive producer Simon Bennett, trickles of official information from Hasbro press or unofficial leaks.

Now that Cosmic Fury is here, does it live up to the hype? For me, the answer is yes… mostly.

Overall, I enjoyed Power Rangers Dino Fury Seasons 1 and 2. The main characters were all very endearing, even secondary characters like Jane, J-Borg, Tarrick and Pop Pop, among others. All of that was possible thanks to the hard work of the creative team; writers and actors whose comrade and passion shined a little more than past seasons.

Both Dino Fury seasons also included past season cameos (like Kelson Henderson’s Mick Kanic, Campbell Cooley’s Scrozzle or Lord Zedd in Dino Fury season two), easter eggs and references (J-Borg is a Hartford Robotics android, a nod to Operation Overdrive) for long time fans. Cosmic Fury is a concentrated blast of everything you loved about Dino Fury, while stripping away some of the things that bogged the previous two seasons.

CAST (Left to Right): Jordon Fite (Aiyon); Tessa Rao (Izzy Garcia); Kai Moya (Ollie Akana); Hunter Deno (Amelia Jones); Russell Curry (Zayto); and Chance Perez (Javi Garcia). Not pictured: Jacqueline Joe (Fern) and David Yost (Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger/Billy Cranston).

This third season only works based on the solid foundation built on the shoulders of the previous two. Since all of the main cast has been established over the past forty-four episodes, this leaves room to introduce new villains of the season Bajillia Naire and her daughter Squillia Shar Livia Naire of Squid Ink, Inc. Bajillia and Squillia are very fun characters that are a not-so-subtle commentary on contemporary corporate and influencer culture and are the perfect villains to scheme alongside Lord Zedd.

From the various trailers, press releases and articles, Mick Kanic (Ninja Steel, Dino Fury) and Billy Cranston do indeed return for this season. Without spoiling anything, both have many great moments throughout the season. Especially Billy, who feels like a better representation of the character than in MMPR: Once & Always. Granted, Billy was in a stressful situation after the loss of Trini and obsession to pursue Robo Rita for a year. However, in Cosmic Fury, Billy feels like the natural 30-year extension from the genius we knew from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Zeo.

Stripped away from the previous two seasons, and the past ten years frankly, are the more heavy handed “lesson of the week” morals and are replaced with multi-episode conflicts that build and resolve naturally for many characters and pairings to varying degrees of success. Conversations and resolutions are fleshed out and the dialogue feels less stilted. Also gone are the wacky hi-jinks B-plots from characters like Jane and J-Borg… mostly. They are still in the show, and funny as ever, but only as much as the story allows in the season-long crisis. And the crisis is about as universe ending in Power Rangers as it gets, It might sound dire as a final(?) season of the current status quo… but there are still empowering, funny and heartwarming moments throughout Cosmic Fury.

The first three episodes of Cosmic Fury are the perfect beginning to the season, with the first episode (“Lightning Strikes”) starting literally moments after season two’s cliffhanger ending. The Netflix bingeing format works for Cosmic Fury, as the season has a clear beginning (Episodes 1-3), middle (Episodes 4-6) and end (Episodes 7-10). My advice would be to skip the intros in your first watchthrough if you want to go in as spoiler-free as possible to capture the excitement of the surprises and twists in store (if that’s even possible at this point…). Also, watch in those previously listed blocks if you need a break between arcs this weekend.

By the end, Cosmic Fury actually made me wish for just a couple more episodes to spend with this team. Or at the very least, some extended scenes, like a full team roll call in the style of the one seen in Episode 4 “Team Work”. This is just a small gripe after four complete watchthroughs of the season over the course of the month. When watching Cosmic Fury for my first time… I was hooked. It made me feel as excited as I was thirty years ago watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

With Power Rangers officially ending production in New Zealand after twenty years, I want to thank all of the cast and crew who kept the power going throughout that time. Power Rangers Cosmic Fury is the culmination of writing, direction, cinematography, stunts, prop, costume and set design when the restrictions of network television feel like they are gone (or at least… previous corporate mandates).

Overall, Cosmic Fury is a tight ten-episode series that cuts the fat from a traditional Power Rangers season, but still keeps the charm, action and wild production history unique to the franchise as a whole and is a fitting end(?) to this thirty-year saga.

I give Power Rangers Cosmic Fury an 8/10.

A huge thank you to the team at Hasbro, eOne and Netflix for providing RCPH with a press screener earlier this month. Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury premieres globally on Netflix this Friday, September 29th. Stay tuned for our upcoming (spoiler full) podcast reviews for the first and second halves of the series.

NEWS – Hasbro Ends Power Rangers Production in New Zealand

Leave a comment

According to 1News New Zealand, Hasbro is ending production of Power Rangers in New Zealand after 20 years.

In a statement, Hasbro didn’t say why production was ending, but fan speculation and tweets from executive producer Simon Bennett and writers like Becca Barnes over the past few weeks seems to point to Cosmic Fury being the last live action tv series in the current iteration.

From 1NewsNZ:

“We are committed to keeping Power Rangers fresh by reimagining the brand and how we bring our entertainment content to life for our consumers”, a spokesperson said.

“We’ve been in communication with teams to ensure they are set up for success in their next adventures”, a Hasbro spokesperson said.

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with such incredible and talented teams in New Zealand and plan to keep close for any future projects that may be a fit for Power Rangers or across any other of our future entertainment productions”.

Below is the video 1NewsNZ put together for the story including interviews with Sally Martin (Tori, Power Rangers Ninja Storm), Ria Vandervis (Miratrix, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive) and Teuila Blakely (Power Rangers Beast Morphers).

With 25% tax breaks for filming in New Zealand as well as generating more than $340 million for the local economy, it’s hard to imagine Power Rangers without the setting, crew and cast of New Zealand. Some crew have been with the show for 20 years, including VFX Supervisor Carol Petrie, who was kind enough to be interviewed by Ranger Command back in 2014.

The future remains unclear for Power Rangers after Cosmic Fury, aside from a potential reboot from Jonathan Entwistle and Jenny Klein.

“Mirror World” exists symmetrically beyond an invisible mirror in space, and is an exact copy of our human world, where only monsters can dwell. Evil monsters frequently cross the mirror and attack our world. Only Kamen Riders, who make a contract with a specific monster and obtain a special power from it, can enter “Mirror World” to fight with the help of an “Advent Card.” Shinji Kido, a journalist, contracts with a dragon and becomes Kamen Rider Ryuki. He fights a fierce battle with evil monsters. Many Kamen Riders appear one after another, and fight to satisfy their own aims. However, only one Kamen Rider can outlive the others. Thus, it is their fate to keep fighting to the last man.

For the first time since the original “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” debuted in 1993, the current cast of “Power Rangers: Dino Fury” will be returning as the beloved Power Rangers for a third season.

HASBRO’S ENTERTAINMENT STUDIO, EONE, ANNOUNCES NEW EPISODES OF “POWER RANGERS: DINO FURY” DROPPING THIS SEPTEMBER

 The Second Installment of Episodes for Season 2 of the hit show will premiere this Fall on Netflix in the United States

NEW YORK, NY (August 22, 2022) – Hasbro’s entertainment studio, eOne, announces that the next installment of the 29th season of the global franchise “Power Rangers” will be arriving on Netflix in the U.S. later this fall. Following a thrilling batch of episodes that dropped earlier this year, the second season of “Power Rangers: Dino Fury” will close out with 11 exciting 22-minute episodes, which will debut on September 29, 2022.

The announcement comes as Hasbro’s Power Week (August 22-28) begins to roll out with a number of exciting developments about what fans can expect as the franchise continues to evolve and expand.

In Season 2, with the seeming defeat of the villainous Void Knight, Pine Ridge has enjoyed a period of relative calm. The Rangers have thrown themselves into their civilian lives while Zayto and Aiyon use the technology of Dinohenge to search for their home planet of Rafkon. That’s all about to change. With villains new and old gathering against them, the adventure of the Dino Fury Power Rangers is only beginning.

“Power Rangers: Dino Fury” stars Russell Curry, Hunter Deno, Jordon Fite, Kai Moya, Chance Perez and Tessa Rao and Simon Bennett serves as showrunner.

“We are so excited for fans to experience the final climactic episodes of season two, where all storylines and threads pay off,” said Simon Bennett. “We’ve packed in twists and turns, as well moments of heart between these amazing Power Rangers, and it is been so rewarding to see these characters grow over the last two years.”

The first half of “Power Rangers: Dino Fury” Season 2 is currently available now on Netflix. Additionally, Hasbro’s toy line, inspired by the series, features new Lightening Collection characters, new weapons, new Zords (with unique Megazord combinations!), and a new vehicle, the Dino Fury Cycle, a T-rex inspired motorcycle with blasters.
