Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
The Power Rangers came to me at a weird time in my life. By the time the Rangers had reached the height of their popularity in the US, I was “too old” to be watching the show. Not that it stopped me; I pretended to despise the five teenagers with attitude on the outside, I was secretly rejoicing whenever they’d form MegaZord and whip up on whatever creation Rita Repulsa had in store for them that particular afternoon. Seriously, when the Power Rangers guitar riff hit and the “Go go Power Rangers!” song started it was like liquid cocaine and I would start jumping around all over the place.
It’s kind of funny that over a decade after my closeted fascination with the Rangers started, I’m still entranced by them… except it’s not so secret anymore.
