Awesome / Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always

  • Three words: Congressman Zachary Taylor. Repeat: Zack as a Congressman! And given from what we know, he was a pretty good one! It's not hard to imagine that he represented the interests of the Power Ranger community in the U.S. Government, while, of course, hiding the fact that he's one himself. Likewise, it shows that ultimately, he's still the same down-to-earth, Hip Hop Kido-practicing dude we all fell in love with, enough that he easily gave up his political career to take care of his dear friend's orphaned daughter.
  • The special recreates the original Zord summoning and Megazord combination sequences one for one, and provides fans something they've waited decades for: the original Dino Megazord fighting one of Rita's monsters on the moon.
  • Not only does Kat finally get to use the Power Bow, but she has the honor of destroying Rita's time machine, foiling her final plan, cathartic payback 28 years in the making.
  • Zack, Rocky, and Kat working very well with each other against Robo-Minotaur, and defeating him in an amazing teamwork combo. Kat snipes his club out of his hands, Zack knocks the shield away with a spinning swing, leaving Minotaur open for Rocky to finish him off with a jumping stab. It's also a symbolic display of all three seasons of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
  • Villainous example with Robo-Rita. Many of the Rangers she captured were anything but pushovers, some being much stronger than the Dinozord powerset. This includes Tanya, Sixth Rangers like Merrick and Trent (the latter of whom has beaten Tommy at his arguable strongest), and even Battlizer-powered Red Rangers like Leo and Conner.
  • Billy being back...and outside of morph, too! After what David Yost went through during Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo behind-the-scenes, no one would have blamed him if he'd never come back to the franchise yet he did and managed to earn himself essentially the main character spot.
