    A few years back, the original Power Rangers were on Fox and there was a watermark in the corner showing "New Episode!" I just thought, I'm so f'n old that they can already pass off the original Power Rangers as "new" to the next generation. :(

    i swear I did't fill that in, lol. I guess it just took 80's from the body text.

    but yes, the hangout is kickin' it old school, this evening.

    I grew up watching Power Rangers dubbed in Greek without subtitles so I never knew what the hell was going on.

    I just know that:
    • the theme song is awesome
    • the fighting was inspiring as a kid learning Karate
    • I didn't like the Pink ranger because she was too girly
    • I didn't like the Blue ranger because he was wimpy
    • I didn't know what role that column face played in the show (sent them on missions or something?)
    • I used to practice that move the Red ranger does in his intro clip (scissor kick?)
    • I wanted to dance and be cool just like the Black ranger
    • I never knew why the Green ranger showed up nor why he became the White ranger
    • I hated that the Red ranger seemingly got sidelined when the Green ranger showed up

    Then I went to watch the movie in the theater in English, and I was still young enough that I thought it ruled supreme and at par with the Ninja Turtles movies.


    Here's a taste of what it sounded like in Greek: http://youtu.be/5u4XNeRiS08 (embedding disabled) - The worst dub job ever! even X-men and stuff was dubbed like this, so I didn't fully understand the story of that show either (I still watched it religiously).

    - the pink ranger, although girly, was the first chick with boobs that prepubescent American males had impure thoughts about.

    - the guy in the column i think was an inter-dimensional being, that yes, sent them on missions. his name was Zordon.

    - the red ranger does a tornado kick. scissor kick is more like what a pair of scissors does, and you snap your legs together.

    - the green ranger showed up originally to destroy the rest of the rangers, but eventually somehow became good. then I think, this green armor went FUBAR on him, so of course, he became the white ranger.


    out of curiosity, did you grow up in Greece?

    Lol, thanks for clarifying! (even if I never use this information again :p)

    I didn't grow up in Greece, but a neighboring Greek-speaking country

    The toys were fun to play with, too.

    Like power rangers, you'd get all the vehicles and connect them together to go wreck shop on your friends.
