    Amazing!
    I’ve been listening for years and every time I get the notification a new episode is out I drop everything and listen to it. The reimagining of the story and characters is fantastic!
  • yung snubz
    Action
    More action less narration would be great
  • Hud1990
    This is awesome!
    I love the stories. It’s more modern and love the adaptation of the sentai rangers using shadow for kakurangers and Dairangers for thunder rangers!

    Obsessed ⚡️⚡️
    This has been only of the greatest listens I’ve heard. Linking my childhood passion for power rangers with a more realistic and adult story. This has given me so much more on the people behind the morphers

    Renewed love for MMPR
    Brings back my love from childhood of MMPR, but with a modern perspective. I hope the whole Zordon era is covered
  • CharlieSnax
    Ummmmm…. Yes, please.
    This is the Power Ranger content I never knew I needed. The quality is great and the voice actors do such a good job. Love the darker take on the story. Absolute 5 stars.

    Cool reimagining but…
    A lot of the ideas for the reimagining was kinda cool. I was starting to get into it and enjoyed it until they turned Adam gay. Nothing against the lifestyle but don’t mess with the OG characters like that.

    It’s okay
    There are some serious inconsistencies in some of the writing and continuity. Trini’s voice actress is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and I cringe whenever she says Sabre toothed tiger or pronounces Zordon as Zordun. I fast forward through the theme song every time as I can’t really stand to listen to the singer’s voice. Not really a fan of the relationship and sexuality drama; kind of comes across like a CW show. It starts to get a little convoluted once power coins start being passed out like candy or are easily altered so that anyone can use them. Those things aside I’m liking a lot of it. Tommy’s voice actor sounds almost exactly like JDF and Jason’s is pretty close to Austin St. John’s Jason. Nice action and the narrator does a good job of painting a picture of what’s going on. Not great , but pretty good.

    The “Ultimate” Power Rangers Experience (Mild Spoilers)
    The best way to describe Power Rangers The Audio Drama is as a reimagining similar to Marvel’s “Ultimate Universe.” Between the excellent use of the old show’s sound effects, theme song, & incredible voice acting (especially Joey Sourlis’ Tommy Oliver & Shane Chocran’s Saba), there are many peppered moments of teen angst/drama, scenes of the government reacting to the changing status quo, a reduced camp factor, & the rangers dealing trauma from fighting a war they didn’t start. This makes more sense when you realize that the other, more famous Audio Dramas by Karl Dutton (creator of Scyther Audio Productions) include faithfully excellent adaptations of “Batman Hush” & classic “X-Men” stories by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Chris Claremont, etc.The only difference between those projects & this one is that story beats from Power Rangers are being adapted rather than wholesale plots, resulting in the Mighty Morphin’ team dealing with harsh reality far more than the old show. While it feels weird to see the rangers going through seemingly harsher growing pains than the X-Men, the show is still recognizably Power Rangers. Just because the rangers don’t shake a battle off like it never happened doesn’t mean they don’t win. As a result, the show feels like a spiritual spinoff from the 2017 reboot, which I appreciate. I’d even go as far to say that the Season 1 Finale up to the penultimate episode of Season 2 could be a great movie with how it reinvents the show’s lore (The Thunder Powers, the White Light, Zedd’s Dark Rangers, etc.). Honestly, nothing would please me more than to give this show a whole-hearted recommendation.. However, what’s kept me from talking about this show until now has been Season 1, Episode 7, “Heart of the Dragon.” The episodes’ Apple Podcast summary (but not Youtube link, as of 1/14/23) contains a content warning for “a scene of an implied sexual nature that some may find disturbing.” IMHO, it is one of the only plot threads in the show I would outright call bad. Never in my wildest dreams would I naturally think of Power Rangers & Invincible #110 in the same sentence. Admittedly, this is a fan project (not an official product), the party involved is a man rather than a woman, but the scene itself accomplishes nothing not already achieved by prior story elements. So, why am I finally writing about the show now? That would be Karl’s openness to feedback & criticism. In August of 2022, after asking for feedback on whether the scene went too far on the Scyther Audio Dramas Discord, I brought up my issues with the scene, mostly how there wasn’t a respectful follow-up on it. In December, I got my wish in Season 3, Episode 4, “The Assault.” While I personally thought the follow-up was in good taste, you’re mileage *will* vary. Still, the fact that the scene exists makes me feel comfortable talking about the show outside its Discord server. I understand if, after reading all of that, you want nothing to do with this Audio Drama. However, if you’re still curious, start with Season 1, Episode 4, “The Search” (where the show finds its stride, imo), & hear for yourself if the show builds up enough good will for you to continue. If nothing else, that episode has Nick Ericksen’s Jason give one of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard in a Power Rangers project, and that’s not nothing.

  • Jlj727
    Amazing
    Amazing audio drama please keep making More episodes !!
  • Arlo Daydreamer
    More or less an audio book but still amazing
    I’m enjoying what I’ve listened to so far. The reworking of the mmpr lore to not only mix some Sentai stuff as well as flesh out some of the characters and their interpersonal relationships is great. Modernizing(from the 90s to the 20XX) was a great choice. The actors and actresses also some times sound like the original actors and it gets that nostalgia tingle...well tingling.I love it guys keep up the great work and may the power protect you!!
  • Sudnfddinexkmdn
    Amazing
    Easily the best Power Ranger fan project, high production levels and the cast really puts their heart and soul into each episode. The writing is serious without taking itself too seriously.
  • Grant2012
    The best version of Power Rangers yet
    Far and away the best Power Rangers fan project ever made! Also a much better re-imagining of the original team than what we got in the 2017 movie. If you want to revisit the show in a form that’s actually enjoyable without coasting off nostalgia, this is the podcast for you!
  • the weird writer
    Great for the Blind
    As a Blind fan of the original show, this audio drama allowed me to experience the show for the very first time. It was everything that I could’ve hoped for and more. I hope that you make more audio dramas like this
  • T. Drake
    So good!!
    The way stories from the original run of MMPR was retold and streamlined adding elements from all over the power rangers universe is done so well and creatively. Looking forward to future episodes and where this story is going!!
  • kingsizest
    Pink ranger
    The pink ranger is a little bad at acting.
  • michaelfigliola

    Great
    Really well done. Surprisingly awesome.
  • jfanprangee
    AWESOME!
    Super well done!! Awesome nostalgia feel
  • Hannibal King
    A good series
    I love Super Sentai/Power Rangers, so this is a really good series. But the adult themes (sex, strong language, drinking) don’t work for me at times. I think a “lighter” touch closer to Super Sentai would have been a better choice.
  • Nick Foles' Broken Leg
    Patiently Waiting....
    For the next episode to drop!!!!!
  • Hamilton_54
    Yes!
    As a long time Power Ranger fan and as someone who is re-introducing myself to the franchise after many years you and the team have no idea how much this series has meant to me. The respect shown to the lore is awesome (much better than a certain 2017 film). I’m also excited about the reimagining of some old storylines and characters. THIS is the Rita and Zedd I’ve always wanted. This show feels “real” and I appreciate that about it. I’ve binged this for hours today and I can tell you if you want to see a 34 year old man cry, it was the way you told the tragic story of the “Doomsday” two-parter. The voice acting, sound effects, music are all phenomenal. Thank you so much for this. I can’t wait for the next episode! Michael Hamilton The Kaiju Groupie Podcast
  • District Tribute
    Excellent
    A great series.
  • SrDash03
    It’s....so...good.
    I will only be repeating what everyone else has already said but I don’t care. This podcast deserves all the praise and then some. I, too was obsessed with MMPR as a child during its heyday on Fox Kids and now in my mid 30s having a “grown up” version of the storyline from MMPR is a literal dream come true. I expected it to be slightly campy like the TV show but it actually builds on that and has an extended story line that even surpasses that of the underwhelming 2017 reboot theatrical release. While you can tell some of the actors aren’t great at an American accent (cough, Pink Ranger/Scorpina, cough) it doesn’t distract from the great story and narration. Even the actor who plays Tommy (Joey Solis, I believe) sounds like JDF when he was on the TV show. I can’t speak enough on how awesome this audio version of MMPR is. Any fan of the show will NOT be disappointed with this series. I’m waiting with baited breath for the next season to introduce the reign of Zedd and the Thunder Zords. The fact that this is available for free is almost too generous - it’s that good. This is just as great as his X-Men audio drama also based on the 90s Fox Kids series. Karl, keep up the FANTASTIC WORK - you are a true artist!
  • JoshuaGary924
    Next Episode?
    This is freaking awesome! Basically the version where every grown up should listen to! Anyone who has ever loved the Power Rangers as much as I have, thanks you, because this is a dream come true! Listening with eyes closed, imagining every scene with every character, brings me back to the Fox Kids days! But the major question would be, when will the next episodes air, and episode after that? Suspension from the last has left me at the edge of my seat!
  • Kenne W
    The BEST!
    I have literally DREAMed about having two of my favorite childhood series, Power Rangers and X-Men, be done as a podcast series by someone who obviously cares about the properties as much as I still do. These. Absolutely. Rock! Thank you so, so much for making a old fan's dreams come true!
  • SpiTar-Zan
    MMPR in a way I never dreamed possible
    This is outstanding. It makes all the hours I spent watching Power Rangers as a kid worth it. Karl Dutton is a masterful storyteller that leaves me in awe of his genius. The editing, the acting, the music is spot on. I can not explain how wonderful it is to experience something that feels like it was made just for me. The love and care and effort put forth is a credit to those who created this series. I applaud everyone involved in this rebirth of Power Rangers.
