      They don’t stop at Zordon, either. Look at the Zeo Rangers.

      They had to use their special Morphing crystals to defeat the evil crystal, and in doing so, were sent back in time to the prehistoric era. While back in time, they defeated the main villain before he could get the evil crystal. He was also hauling the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, because that was part of his plan.

      This led them to an entirely different timeline where dinosaurs never went extinct. This is a canon event, every time they’re officially referenced, the dinosaurs get brought up. Dinosaurs just exist in their modern day.

        Uhh, are the dinosaurs the same as our fossil records or are they new? Like, is it all triceratops, diplodocus, and tyrannosaurs, or did they invent new ones? Because I’m super about it if it’s the latter. Most dinos didn’t last more than a few million years before shifting. A hundred million years seems a silly amount of time to avoid speciation

          They’re the most basic dinos you can think of. No big evolution changes, no development, just like they somehow got pulled from the past and planted into the modern day.

          I wish BOOM had done more with them, given that the comics were allowed to actually, y’know, make their own shit happen. Still, highly recommend, it’s Power Rangers but without the “for kids” restriction. They’re written for an older audience who wants that PR feel but more matured without delving too deep into the “Dark and Edgy” feel. Gave some cool concepts, like a Ranger who can control the dead who was formerly a member of a team based around Alchemy.

            I read a couple of issues and it seems like building out the world in that way just isn’t something the author was interested in. And I don’t blame them. Spreading yourself too thin is bad for the comic. I’ll read a bit more when I have the chance!
