Watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie on VHS is one of my favorite childhood memories, which is why learning that the film isnt canon was so heartbreaking. Power Rangers is more than Mighty Morphin, but we cant deny how big of an impact the original series had on pop culture. Over 30 years after the premiere of Mighty Morphin, characters like Jason, Kimberly, and Rita Repulsa remain pillars of the Power Rangers franchise across different media even though there have been dozens of other teams since then.
