19 Years Ago Today, One of Power Rangers’ Most Underrated Seasons Debuted

by

For over 30 years, Power Rangers has featured exciting adventures with themes like dinosaurs, space travel, cars, and ninjas, and each season has a dedicated fanbase. One season, which first aired 19 years ago during the show’s run on Disney, doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves, but many fans consider it one of the most underrated in the entire series.

Today marks the 19th anniversary of Power Rangers Mystic Force, which first aired on February 20, 2006, with the episode “Broken Spell.” The premiere actually consisted of two episodes. Mystic Force stood out from earlier seasons by introducing a new team of Rangers in a world filled with fantasy and magic. The season also featured a compelling cast of supporting characters and a story with deep and interesting background details, making it a memorable installment that wasn’t fully appreciated at the time.

Power Rangers Embraced Magic and Fantasy With Mystic Force

Let’s start by acknowledging that Mystic Force really nailed the look of Rangers with capes – it was a fantastic design choice! The suits still look great today, especially those worn by the more powerful Rangers and allies like Udonna and Daggeron. Beyond the cool costumes, the characters were well-developed and added compelling depth and conflict to the team.

The main team in Mystic Force consisted of Nick Russell as the Red Ranger, Madison Rocca as the Blue Ranger, Chip Thorn as the Yellow Ranger, Vida Rocca as the Pink Ranger, and Xander Bly as the Green Ranger. While the Red Ranger often took center stage, the team as a whole was memorable and developed interesting relationships and interactions throughout the season.

The Zords this season are a fun mix of imaginative designs and classic Ranger mechs. The Mystic Minotaur is a clear standout – a green and black minotaur robot with a huge axe! It’s awesome. Even when combining, the Zords form a warrior riding a giant dragon, which really highlights how creative and unique this season is.

Fans interested in the show’s backstory will find familiar fantasy themes, but ultimately, Mystic Force still feels like a classic Power Rangers season. While some battles are impressive, the show’s lower budget is noticeable. If it had the same funding as Power Rangers S.P.D., it might have been even better, but even with this limitation, the season offers plenty of enjoyable moments for those seeking a unique experience.

Power Rangers Mystic Force can be streamed in its entirety on Tubi.
