Eric, A.P. and Zach are here with a SPOILER-FREE review of the Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Special – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always.
A huge thanks to Hasbro, eOne and Netflix for providing us with a Press Screener.
Here is Zach’s review:
I love how this special jumps right into the action and we’re quickly introduced to the new character Minh, played by Charlie Kersh. She fits right in with the cast and you feel the emotion behind every line she says.
The special moves at Lightning pace to tell a comprehensive story that lays out exactly what happened to the team, and the hurdles they must overcome in order to come out on top. Lots of great fight scenes, tons of heart, and a love for the original MMPR team tempered with fun easter eggs for the long time franchise fans. And while not every single plot hole is explained away, only the most hardcore lore hounds will notice. When in doubt, just remember the MST3K mantra “It’s just a show, I should really just relax.”
The updated effects look fantastic for what they were able to achieve with their budget. Seeing the updated morph sequence is a visual and nostalgic delight. As seen in the trailers, there’s a putty fight in the Juice Bar that absolutely blew my mind with how faithfully the original Juice Bar set has been recreated. Major kudos to the set designers and builders for making this set piece so faithful to the original.
The fight scenes are wonderfully scored thanks to the legend, Ron Wasserman. He managed to recreate the FEEL of the original series’ score while updating it. His work is absolutely worth watching certain scenes over and over to enjoy his score.
The climax of the special is an emotional rollercoaster that will have you cheering, laughing, and absolutely shedding a few tears. This special is everything I hoped for and surprised me at every turn. My only gripes are minor nitpicks that honestly have been talked about to death, so I won’t mention them here.
This special is fantastic and that’s why I’m giving Power Rangers: Once and Always an easy 9/10.
Yesterday, eOne and Power Rangers revealed the first sneak peek at the upcoming Netflix special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always!
The clip shows Rocky and Kat receiving Proxy Power coins that Billy and Alpha have created together. Zack has some concerns about duplicating powers, echoing Zordon’s past warnings. Kat doesn’t care about too much Pink energy being dangerous if it means saving lives.
Finally, an explanation of her using the Pterodactyl Power Coin!
Last July, Hasbro first announced their Plastic-Free Packaging initiatives for all of their toy lines. It seems that in the almost year since, fan response has led Hasbro to reverse this decision and bring back windowed packaging, but with sustainable plastics.
Tonight, we received an email from our Hasbro contact.
Hi –
We wanted to share an update on packaging for Hasbro’s 6-inch-scale figures. Based on your feedback, we will be re-introducing windows and blisters to our 6-inch fan figures beginning later this year, into 2024 for select products across our portfolio of brands, including, G.I. Joe Classified, Power Rangers Lightning Collection, Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends. This will eventually expand to all new 6-inch figure releases.
The new windows and blisters will be made from bio PET or recycled PET helping us achieve our priority of meeting our fans’ expectations for extraordinary packaging and superior design while still developing packaging that minimizes waste and the use of virgin plastic.
Thank you again for being one of our biggest fans and for your continued support of Hasbro.
As BOOM! Studios’ POWER RANGERS: A 30th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration Campaign Nears a Half Million, Amy Jo Johnson Writes a New POWER RANGERS Story
Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers’ Kimberly Hart joins the publisher in celebrating 30 years of Power Rangers storytelling
LOS ANGELES, CA (March 31, 2023) – BOOM! Studios’ newest BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign, POWER RANGERS: A 30th Anniversary Comic Book Celebration, has sped past the $250,000 Stretch Goal mark in less than 24 hours unlocking a new series announcement. BOOM! Studios is thrilled to announce that original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers cast member Amy Jo Johnson, along with co-writer Matt Hotson are writing a brand new Power Rangers series!
Details on the hotly anticipated series are being kept under wraps for the time being, but more information will be made available later this year.
Amy Jo Johnson began her acting career as Kimberly Hart, the original Pink Power Ranger. For the next twenty years, she starred in a number of film and television productions, such as Susie Q, Perfect Body, Felicity, and Flashpoint. For the last ten years, she has turned her attention to behind the camera, writing and directing four short films, two feature films, and made her foray into TV directing on the CW’s Superman and Lois. Amy Jo is incredibly excited to reflect back on her time as a Ranger, and this comic book series will be a love letter to her fans and the franchise that gave her her start.
“It’s been decades since I first put on the Pink Ranger suit, which started my career in the entertainment industry. I had no idea the impact this character would have on so many children. I was your friend, and you’ve supported my career through all its twists and turns, and now thirty years later, I’m honoured to have the opportunity to say thank you by writing this new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series with Boom! Studios as a love letter to all of you!”said actor, director, and forever our Pink Ranger, Amy Jo Johnson.

When Matt Hotson saw his first comic book (G.I. Joe Special Missions #22) at the impressionable young age of four, he was blown away that someone had made a Saturday morning kids show he could take with him wherever he went. Since then, he’s read way too many comics, and worked as an assistant director on TV shows like DC’s Titans (and a bunch of other ones that didn’t have any superheroes in them for some reason). Now he co-writes Power Rangers comic books with Amy Jo Johnson, so he can take a Saturday morning kids show with him wherever he goes.

She has proven herself again and again as a strong storyteller with a compelling voice, and getting to bring her and Matt in to tell a new Power Rangers story is a full circle moment for all of us here at BOOM!
