Re: Does the backstory to Samurai ruin the PRU timeline?
I think it was fine. Why can't there be past Ranger teams? Its very possible since we get new Ranger teams every year. The Samurai Rangers just have a long standing tradition. It seems like they like to do things on their own. So they are probably were not connected to other Rangers until.the RPM team up.

Re: Does the backstory to Samurai ruin the PRU timeline?
Samurai's problem that it followed the sentai storyline too much. They didn't deviate enough to do their own thing. The timeline does nothing to mess with the pru timeline.
It could have been much worse timeline wise. At least they made RPM a AU in the team up. Rather then to try and act like RPM took place in the present or to not explain why Scott was there at all. |

Re: Does the backstory to Samurai ruin the PRU timeline?
The Alien Rangers were presumably active before any Mighty Morphin Ranger was even born. The Gold Ranger powers had been passed down by the Triforian Royal Family. Andros and Zhane were Space Rangers when the Zeo Rangers were active. And Taylor was a Wild Force Ranger when the Time Force Rangers were active. It's not uncommon for there to be ranger teams around during or even before the then current team was active.
One can surmise that when Tommy made his video diary, he wasn't aware of the existences of the Samurai Rangers. Maybe Zordon and Alpha were aware of them but thought they were handling the problem well and didn't feel any need to interfere with their battle. Or there were long gaps between when a team were active and the Nighloks were attacking. Plus the Samurai Rangers seem like a pretty secluded bunch; when they first met Scott, Mia wondered outloud if he was another Samurai Ranger too. |

It's not that big of a stretch and the Wild West Rangers do count because they're part of official continuity so you can't discredit them regardless of whether you might want to or not. |

Re: Does the backstory to Samurai ruin the PRU timeline?
Yeah but there is nothing that said there couldn't be past Ranger teams. After "Legendary Battle", its even more likely. Samurai does nothing to contradict anything. Just because some teams had origins as ancient worriers. Why does it mean that another can't have Ancient Rangers?

The battle between the previous Samurai Rangers and the Nightloc happen in 1991, 2 years before Zordon created the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers.

Not necessarily. They could have easily made RPM fit into the timeline due to what we saw of Ransik in the flashback of him freeing the Orgs that became the Mut-Orgs.

Re: Does the backstory to Samurai ruin the PRU timeline?
But wouldn't RPM take place in the future than and require time travel?
I don't see a problem with having ancient Rangers. It interferes with nothing and it was never said there wasn't other Ranger teams in MMPR. |

Re: Does the backstory to Samurai ruin the PRU timeline?
yes it would... if it took place in the main series continuity.
I agree that it doesn't interfere with anything in regards to Samurai. |
