History Fridge / PowerRangers2017

* That prank at the beginning of the movie? Yeah, those kids brought a ''bull'' into a ''high school''.

!! FridgeLogic:
* What did Zack mean when he said he'd only morphed in the shower before?
** It was a masturbation joke.

* The Power Coins are shown to be a ClingyMacguffin, with Jason's [[OffScreenTeleportation Offscreen Teleporting]] from his room to the bathroom after him. This explains why [[spoiler:Rita still has her Power Coin after 65 million years, even though it was mounted on her staff and the staff was thrown from her body by the meteor impact.]]

* Finding out you're basically indestructible, [[spoiler: because what else do you call surviving a train hitting your mother's minivan head-on with you and your classmates inside]], could go very dark if you want to push the limits. Think what Claire in Series/{{Heroes}} did and how gruesome she looked afterward before she regenerated.
* [[spoiler:Billy drowning to death becomes implicitly more terrifying when you remember that in the original series, he was afraid of fish.]]
* The Zeo Crystal [[spoiler:was uncovered by Rita during the climax. If the Rangers don't have it buried again and leave it to be dug up by the clean up crew, if scientists or workers decide to tamper with it then they could end up destroying life on Earth. So let's hope the Rangers covered it up again, took possession of it, or explained it to the authorities how dangerous trying to dig the Crystal up again would be...]]

* What the Hell was Billy doing that would ''make his lunchbox explode?'' [[spoiler: '''''Twice?''''']]

* Rita survived 65 million years underwater so it's more than possible she can survive [[spoiler:the cold vacuum of space until Lord Zedd inevitably finds her.]]
* Rita, before she is defeated, [[spoiler: says that she's not the only threat in the universe. While Lord Zedd is most likely to be the next threat the Power Rangers face, other threats implies that the Machine Empire, Divatox, and every other Power Ranger BigBad may exist in this universe.]]

** It was a [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbation]] joke.

* Sam has gone to every one of Jason's football games and it is implied that Jason damaged his ankle in the car crash from the opening scene. When Sam watches the Red Ranger run back to his Zord, he sees that he has a slight limb like Jason. In the end, he is putting newspaper clippings about the Rangers over the clippings of Jason's old football, heavily hinting that he knows his son is the Red Ranger.

** The lyrics, "No one man should have all that power", also make sense in context of the movie: the Rangers are keeping Rita from obtaining the Zeo Crystal, which sustains all life on Earth.

* Why would the Power Coins RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude over others more qualified, like soldiers? In this continuity it is the Ranger's trust and love for each other which allows them to morph. People meet many of their best friends and form some of their oldest closest relationships in high school. Its not that they are the best or most qualified, but that they have the greatest potential to become TrueCompanions.
** This is supported by the novelization where its said that Ranger Teams can go years without forming a megazord, something the Angel Grove team does not only on their first time piloting them, but within an hour of morphing for the first time. Showing just how much potential they really have as a team.

* Billy riding his Zord backwards is played for laughs, but driving a vehicle backwards is a sign of great skill, and Billy had showed himself the most skilled Ranger in the group.

* While Zack and Trini were {{Race Lift}}ed to avoid the UnfortunateImplications of an African-American and Asian being the Black and Yellow Rangers respectively, this “tradition” has been continued in a different way, the Autistic Billy is the ''Blue''[[labelnote: note]]The color Blue is the symbol of Autism Speaks, the largest Autism Awareness group in the world[[/labelnote]] Ranger.

* Some characters and equipment names sound very cheesy and ridiculous, like Goldar, Rita Repulsa, Zordon, Power Coin or Zords, but everyone uses them seriously. Why? Well, all of those names are of ''alien'' technology or characters. It's likely that the real names in their original languages, likely Eltarian since Zordon and Rita are from Eltar, have no equivalent yet in any human language, so Alpha 5 and Zordon come up with something that is roughly on the same level as Google Translate. Also, it's possible that "Rita Repulsa" or "Goldar" are just the best approximation of their names the Rangers can understand due to not being used to hear alien languages.
** Or the names are perfectly normal or less on-the-nose in their native language and coincidentally ridiculous in English, ala [[Franchise/GreenLantern Sinestro.]] Or for a more literally down-to-Earth example, how ''fahkel'' is a Russian for torch.

** Also, given any added benefits of multiple legs, why didn't the Tyrannosaur and Sabertooth Zords have them too? The aliens who designed the Zords certainly didn't mind drastically deviating from the appearance of an actual mastodon, so the Tyrannosaur Zord didn't have to exactly look like a T. Rex either, especially given the instability of only two legs.
