They wore their morphers on their wrists in public and people were completely oblivious that they were Power Rangers.

The problem is that continuity is closed and Disney will open it screw it up then never revisit it again until the next series. Then screw it up some more.

Wild Force jackets.

...And Saban DIDN'T do this?

Then screw it up some more.

Define screw it up.

1. Exactly my point.


2. Saban kept his Rangers within the "same" continuity of his series. Disney started a "new" continuity with Ninja Storm. Then refused to re-open previous Saban continuity then they did and well they started to butcher the original series storylines.

--When the comment about PR being a comic book was uttered this began the Disney continuity.
Disney's way to start anew. Saban's era no more.

--When Tommy returned in Dino Thunder as Dr.O old continuity re-opened. With the team-up Ninja Storm now connected to the Saban series because of Tommy.
This can be seen as the Ninja Storm team has no connections to Wild Force.


3. Thrax. 'Nuff said.

or if you'd like to further the definition:

Alpha - "physically" being inside the Morphing Grid.

Dr. O - Umm....NO. That's not Tommy. He may have the same name, but THAT IS NOT TOMMY.

Mystic Mother - the whole storyline of Mystic Force with it's 100 year war VS. MMPR and it's storyline of Rita Repulsa. MMPR happened only 13 years earlier than Mystic Force. Prior to MMPR Rita was imprisoned for 10,000 years, thus making this 100 year storyline complete B.S.

Ninja Storm Powers destroyed forever only to return TWICE.

Bridge - Memory wipes for all in History & everyone but Tommy in Wormhole but NOT a single person in Once a Ranger

(Like Forever Red with Jason) in Once a Ranger with Adam - the Power Coins being able to be fixed by Sentinel Knight but the original creator of the coins- NINJOR could not.

I can go on and on with this list. Just ask...........

Ninja Storm reference Triforia.

Alpha - "physically" being inside the Morphing Grid.

In A Ranger Catastophe, Zordon casually mentions in part two that trying to teleport a Ranger with improper coordinates could teleport them into the Morphing Grid, where they would be lost forever. You CAN in fact teleport into the Grid. So no, that wasn't a screw-up.

Dr. O - Umm....NO.

Explain.

Mystic Mother - the whole storyline of Mystic Force with it's 100 year war VS. MMPR and it's storyline of Rita happened only 13 years earlier. Prior to MMPR Rita was imprisoned for 10,000 years, thus making this 100 year storyline complete B.S.

Did-did you even watch Mystic Force? The Great Battle took place 19 to 20 years agao, where did you get 100?

Ninja Storm Powers destroyed forever only to return TWICE.

Since when has losing your powers even stop someone from coming back for a team-up?

(Like Forever Red with Jason) in Once a Ranger with Adam - the Power Coins being able to be fixed by Sentinel Knight but the original creator of the coins- NINJOR could not.

Now that a nit-pick.

I can go on and on with this list. Just ask...........

Please do.

Wild Force was still under Saban's production company, even if Disney bought it mid-way.

Let's see.

--When the comment about PR being a comic book was uttered this began the Disney continuity.
Disney's way to start anew. Saban's era no more.

The Ninja Turtles thought they were a comic too.

--When Tommy returned in Dino Thunder as Dr.O old continuity re-opened. With the team-up Ninja Storm now connected to the Saban series because of Tommy.
This can be seen as the Ninja Storm team has no connections to Wild Force.

Your logic is stupid, much like yourself. This post actually SUGGESTS continuity links between Ninja Storm and Wild Force.

3. Thrax. 'Nuff said.

Not everyone shares your train of thought or opinion, so no, it's not " 'Nuff said."

or if you'd like to further the definition:

Alpha - "physically" being inside the Morphing Grid.

What guy above me said.

Dr. O - Umm....NO. That's not Tommy. He may have the same name, but THAT IS NOT TOMMY.

God forbid a teenager's personality changes when he becomes an adult.

Mystic Mother - the whole storyline of Mystic Force with it's 100 year war VS. MMPR and it's storyline of Rita Repulsa. MMPR happened only 13 years earlier than Mystic Force. Prior to MMPR Rita was imprisoned for 10,000 years, thus making this 100 year storyline complete B.S.

Read above guy.

Ninja Storm Powers destroyed forever only to return TWICE.

Trapped in the Abyss of Evil, something they didn't assume could really be reaccessed because it's...well, a giant abyss full of evil.

Bridge - Memory wipes for all in History & everyone but Tommy in Wormhole but NOT a single person in Once a Ranger

SPD has to start somehow.

(Like Forever Red with Jason) in Once a Ranger with Adam - the Power Coins being able to be fixed by Sentinel Knight but the original creator of the coins- NINJOR could not.

If I'm recalling, Adam didn't really think he would be absolutely necessary during AaC, so that's why his morpher wasn't fixed then. And new powers are usually better than old, so that explains the logic behind just asking Ninjor for new coins.

This just suggests that Sentinel actually is not nearly as efficient in morphing devices as Ninjor.

I can go on and on with this list. Just ask...........

Your choice.

Personallly, I like to think that every Ranger team is connected to the grid. I know some people like to think that certian teams weren't. But I just feel that it fits nicer since it makes something in common for every Ranger team.

I think the grid is some kind of mystical network that allows worriers with a Power Source ( IE The Zeo Crystal, Wild Zords, Dino Gems, Dinosuar spirits, Ninja Spirits, ect..) to be able to morph into Power Rangers. I think some villains can tap into the grid as well. And probably use the power to make monsters, like Lord Zedd.

I think its kind of a neat idea to think that anyone in the PRU can take a strong power source and create a Ranger team ( by connecting the source to the grid and using morphers).

I like to think of the Morphing Grid as an universal energy field that all Rangers and villains must connect to otherwise their magical energies will not work. I wouldn't think the Machine Empire would tap into the energy field or the Venjix Virus since they don't use magic.

And even if he did, Zordon obviously took the reigns when he made the MMPR, connecting the Zeo Crystal produced the PRZ, and some odd manipulation created the Turbo Rangers. He also seems to have had tendrils throughout the universe, since he was the one who hid the Mega-Vs for the Space Rangers, and somehow managed to make the Astro Megaship and the Nasada shuttle combinable, which makes me think he was the link to Earth and whatever other alien planets (such as wherever Andros and Zhane found their morphers) being able to access the Morphin Grid.

There's really no evidence to suggest the non-Zordon teams didn't use the Morphin Grid to power their Ranger suits, and Operation Overdrive clearly saying they did is a step in the direction of one big link to all of the powers. If Hartford's money could manage a way in, I put nothing past the mystical masters behind the mythic Power Ranger teams.

no it was never stated who made the Morphin' Grid.

True there's no evidence to support whether non-Zordon teams ended up using the grid except for the ones who mentioned it like Dino Thunder, Overdrive and Jungle Fury but there's also no evidence to support that the other teams that weren't mentioned didn't use the grid.

I agree

so what with a team wearing their Morphers on their wrists in public? that happens at times and civilians are oblivious to the fact.

Time Force wore their Morphers in public.
the 3 Wind Rangers wore their Morphers in public.

Also the continuity was NEVER closed by Disney and neither them or their writers have done anything to screw it up.

[Tzachor Era]

Its a shame that Tzachor doesn't give interviews since I would love to see what he thinks about the Morphing Grid.It has never been leaked even off the record, to my knowledge anyway.

[PRangerX]

The most we have learned about the grid has come from Jackie. Who basically confirmed the idea that the morphing grid is like the force.
