Zordon Questions

[MMPRBlueRanger]

Why did Zordon die rapidly in the MMPR movie from his time warp being shattered but then... Later, his tube was shattered and his goodness spreaded instead of dieing rapidly? Then also, if there was a way to make him come back to life, how court it happen or be possible? Then also another question is, was it ever possible for him to come out of his time warp any way?

I chalk it up to two things.

A) The movie did a lot of things differently then the show (The actual armor instead of spandex bodysuits, Mordant instead of Squat, Babboo, and Finster, etc).

B) The whole thing with Zordon, and whetether or not what we saw was the real him or a projection was pretty much made up as it went along.

It's because the movie was not in continuity with the show so the movie writers weren't even aware of much in regards to the show.

In the show Zordon is not physically within the Command Center/Power Chamber's tube instead it's rather just a high-tech communication device. He was freed from his time warp prison in early Turbo so when we saw him again in Space and in a tube again that was actually his physical essence inside of that specific tube that Dark Specter had contained him in.

in regards to Point A - that's correct so the movie events pretty much had nothing to do with the show since there was no Finster, Squatt or Baboo and we had a different introductions to the Ninjazords in the movie compared to Ninjor giving the Ninjazords to the Rangers in the show.

Point B - actually it was mostly consistent since it was usually viewed in the show as Zordon's tube being a communication device but only the ones in the Command Center and Power Chamber. Not all villains would be aware of that though. Dimitria didn't need to be in the tube to survive or communicate she just did it to make the Rangers feel more comfortable since that's how Zordon had communicated with them.

Why did Zordon leave in Turbo? The Rangers still needed him.

Zordon should have never been written off the show. He was one of the last holdovers from MMPR. The show really lost a lot when he left.

Its been awhile, but don't you not like anything after MMPR anyway?

I just get confused because I remember the show in the early years saying that Zordon was a real person in a time warp, and would sometimes show clips of Barza from Zyuranger, and the fact that he was a person in the movie.

I always assumed he was in his time warp in the movie until Ivan attacked. Than once he got out ,he started to age rapidly.

It confused me when I first saw the movie but the explanation that movie Zordon wasn't stuck in a time warp ended up making so much sense. Since we know the movie was its own universe.
