Power Rangers Multiverse Timeline

[iceman109]

Was it resolved in the comic series is what your saying?

 

[iceman109]

@Megatron will your timeline include the crossovers the MMPR comics had

Yup, there's already the Godzilla ones.

 

[iceman109]

What about the Prime Rangers? Are they an alternate reality?

Nope

 

[iceman109]

But Earth becomes a colony of the Eltarian Empire in that comic series

 

[iceman109]

And Lauren and Jayden's father retires from being a ranger instead of dying in battle like in the show

 

[Megatron]

if the split can't be resolved, it would mean that every show post-MMPG are a different universe and it can't be as old characters appears as they were previously (AKA Lord Zedd) so this mean that it was resolved off screen or any reasons you can give.

So yeah to make it simple, they made something simple more complicate than it should be and def more confusing.

 

[iceman109]

The timeline divergence for the Prime comics probably diverged when Earth became an Eltarian Empire colony

It can't be, as every team would be its own universe, and that's impossible.

Jane from the comics knows about any team before Hers as It was how It Is in the show, so if It Is restored, it's restored. If It changed, then the comics supplanted the show.

And to conclude the hyperforce RPG Season set After Time Force. The main villain Is the son of Rita and Zedd from Opration Overdrive, and they go back in time to both TV and comics events, and they specified that they went back in TIME.

So there Isn't a split, it's a linear timeline. We Just have to accept the colonization and that the Linear course of events we're restored off screen.

basically the main problem is that the authors changed.

At the start of their run they wanted to be super close to the show, then new writers came and said nope. The problem? During the previous era, Hyperforce was made, and they can't retcon stuff set in like 3000 years from then, or they just forgot about it.

Still to complicate things they released comics tie-in to Hyperforce with them interacting with the comics ofc, and again in their RPG they interacted with the TV Canon.

To sum it down, the comics are forced canon, even tho they can't technically fit. But as for logic, they still are. That or you have to assume that the TV Canon is how the timeline was before Drakkon and the comics changed everything, which I think it's worse.

So yeah the new authors def ****** it up. (also if you don't count the TV series, the Rangers pop-up with powers since GGPR #1, Zedd spawns randomly, Tommy changes his style from Green to White in a blink of an eye).

See? That's what I call a bad example of "Doing our way".

Somehow the concept of this never even crossed my mind until now…

 

[Megatron]

ok thank god PR has only 2 novels, this and the film (2017) adaptation, the rest are Super Sentai which aren't important for this thread.

 

[Megatron]

so tbh in Darkest Hour #1, Billy splinters the grid isolating every team, in a way worse than before as Grace even dies in 1969 with the other rangers to avoid interacting with the MM.

He's then seen way later, when older still trying to repair it. So I guess that he repairs it off screen and idk everything gets repaired. This depends on Power Ranger Prime, but if everything goes fine all of this should end before the season 2 ending. (The main comic series ended and Prime will end in April 2026)

It would explain all the crazy inventions he started making in the show

as for now they have 2 series VR Troopers and Prime ongoing in this new reality. Tbh I kind of see it as PR's Flashpoint.

But still for now I can't continue it, As Idk how they end and how to place them. So we just have to wait.

But it shows Lauren and Jayden's father giving up being a Ranger instead of dying in battle like in the show

That's Power Ranger Prime, the reality Billy made destroying the grid. We have to see how prime ends to see what happens.

But in any case this isn't an event that would happen in the right timeline. See this Prime Universe as being Flashpoint, which also suits it as everything is going to ****.

 

[iceman109]

So Prime has been an alternate universe this entire time?

 

[Megatron]

yup. We have to see if they revert it back how it was before, if not then Billy repaired the grid off screen.

 

[iceman109]

But the main universe is completely unaffected right?

 

[Megatron]

But the main universe is completely unaffected right?

nope it got replaced by Prime. That's why we have to wait.

It's basically Flashpoint 1:1.

 

[iceman109]

If it's anything like Flashpoint the main universe has a high chance of getting restored

 

[iceman109]

Have we reached a consensus on whether if the 1995 movie is a alternate universe or not?

 

[user 16960]

The mobile game Power Rangers Mighty Force takes place in the Summer (presumably Summer 1994) and features Tommy with the dragon shield still, so the episode where he loses his powers and dragon shield to Jason has to take place in Summer 1994 or later.

Btw I hate mobile games that come up with super complex stories that are either never going to get a proper conclusion after it stops being profitable or will have a long story that's never properly archived because the people playing mobile gachas and the like don't care about the story preservation of them. The same fate will probably befall Street Fighter Duel eventually

 

[user 16960]

Also how do we know Season 1 starts in August? I've tried to figure out what implies that but haven't found anything

Just used release date.

Curious question, was the Power Rangers movie from 1995 ever officially stated to be a separate continuity officially, or is that claim based entirely on how S3 has a different explanation for their new power-up? I'm just a little annoyed that they'd make a film, keep the status quo the same from S2, use the same actors, but then not count it at all. Apparently that's the case however.

I'm pretty sure it isn't. Zordon's body and a bit of his backstory stuff contradicts the canon. The movie is just supposed to be a fun side thing. And Season 3 is basically the "canon" version of it I guess. Think of it kind of like the Miraculous Ladybug theatrical films which are just fun noncanon one offs that can't fit with the main timeline but share storylines

The movies are required to fully understand the last season (before the soft reboot)
