Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always trailer, release date: Watch Netflix trailer here

Despite its unapologetically cheesy nature, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series from the '90s has left a poignant legacy. The first official trailer for Netflix's reunion special, "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always", fully embraces this legacy. The trailer invites fans to don their suits and perform all the iconic moves, but also to shed a few tears.

The plot of the trailer appears to be quite silly at first glance, but there's an unexpected twist. The original villain, Rita Repulsa, returns in a robot body and hatches a nefarious scheme to travel back in time and eliminate the Power Rangers before they even become Rangers. To thwart her plan, the original Blue and Black Rangers, Billy (David Yost) and Zack (Walter Emanuel Jones), join forces with the Red and Pink Rangers from the second Mighty Morphin era, Rocky (Steve Cardenas) and Kat (Catherine Sutherland).





Once and Always, with its plot setup, serves as a poignant reminder of the losses suffered throughout the Power Rangers franchise. The introduction of a new character, Minh (Charlie Kersh), as the daughter of Trini, the Yellow Ranger (the late Thuy Trang), who was killed by Rita, adds a layer of emotional depth. Additionally, the trailer hints at a tribute to the late Jason David Frank, who played the Green Ranger and passed away last year. Overall, the trailer appears to have a sincere tone, which is fitting for a 30th anniversary special of a niche franchise like Power Rangers that has had its ups and downs.

Don't miss the premiere of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always on Netflix on April 19.
