How alternate a universe is the RPM 'verse?
 

So we know RPM is an alternate universe - and the last quarter seems to be happening at the same time as Super Samurai - but we've also seen:

* Alphabet Soup has an Overdrive helmet, apparently one of their prototypes

* There's a Jungle Karma in Corinth

* Ziggy assumes Dillon would know what a Power Ranger is, so the RPM team - not seen until Corinth boarded up - can't be the first one. (And where would K have got the Zord name from?)

So how much of the main timeline did, in fact, happen - or came close to happening - in the RPM one? Was their a Jungle Fury team? Was Andrew Hartford involved with the Soup? Does the PaleoZord have a mammoth, tyrannosaurus, and triceratops for a reason?

Despite all the connections to au Ranger teams....I was thinking it would be interesting if au Rita was awakened after RPM. Forcing Zordon to recruit the Rangers to become the MMPR Rangers.

But RPM is another AU like MMPR The Movie (which intrigues me) , so the possibilites are endless.

I think RPM is in the same universe as MMPR. I don't like the idea of AUs. Maybe the Red Ranger in the samurai team up was from an AU. But I think RPM itself takes place in the future. I want everything to be in continunity. I even think the firat movie counts.

Re: How alternate a universe is the RPM 'verse?
 

RPM is diffinitly an AU. Its pretty clearly stated in Samurai. Plus RPM doesn't seem to take place in the distant future like some might have expected.

I think it is probable that other Ranger teams did exist. Ones very similar to our own in some cases. Givening the OO helmet.

RPM is an AU. But I don't like it. I think every season should be in continuity. I can understand the first movie. But there was no reason RPM shouldn't be in continuity.

Re: How alternate a universe is the RPM 'verse?
 

The season is so different from the PRU we know if it takes place in the present. It obviously isn't in the distant future. We she Scott come from another demension in the team up we got in Samurai. So I don't think there is much of a case for RPM to take place in the main PRU. It makes sense to make RPM a AU. Given that PR changes themes too much having a post apocalypse season kinda sticks out continuity wise.

Its clear other Ranger teams exist. Outside of one of them being similar to Overdrive , the possibilities are endless. Well that and the fact Ranger teams use the Morphing Grid.

I don't see whats so complicated about this. Its an AU but its an AU in continuity. Not some sort of reboot. It just takes place in another demension than the main one we usually see in the show. I think it makes perfect sense. Its not like they did it to try to erase it from continuity. It is still in continuity as an AU.

I think SPD was its own demension too. Whenever they time travelled they actually went to an alternate past. I don't think Saban Brands will want to saddle themselves with the 2025 we see in SPD. And we are only 10 years away from that believe it or not.

Re: How alternate a universe is the RPM 'verse?
 

If you're gonna say that then Time Force must have been another demension. Even though the timeline couldn't be changed in this senario, messing with parrallel past events still can cause time holes.

I think galaxy was an AU. It was pretty quick for them to get Terra Venture constructed. Plus it seemed like years after C2D. My only guess is that its an AU and the Space Rangers we see in it are actually alternate Space Rangers.

Re: How alternate a universe is the RPM 'verse?
 

It's not in the same universe as much as I hate it.

It's in an alternate dimension and it could easily take place in the future. No one has ever said "distant future" in regards to it but they've said it would be perfect to explain the wastelands that you see in Ransik's flashback when he frees the Orgs that become the Mut-Orgs.

I don't like it either and I agree.

At the time of its creation SPD was in the main universe but because of changes to it because of Neo Saban it's going to become part of an alternate dimension since aliens should've started to begin to populate and live together with humans in peace by now.

that's not what he/she was saying. He (or she) was saying that eventually the timeline that Neo Saban creates isn't going to fit in with what SPD started which means it can't be part of the main universe anymore.

Doesn't matter what you might think Galaxy wasn't part of an alternate dimension. Yes it was quick for them to construct Terra Venture but think how long it takes for them to repair all of those abandoned buildings that the Giant battles end up destroying. We see it as being quick but it's probably not that quick in-show. Real life physics don't matter when it comes to the actual show otherwise Silvy wouldn't be able to ride on Carlos' Galaxy Glider without any protection not to mention the countless of times we've seen humans on the Moon or elsewhere without any protection and they can breathe without any issues.

Thats one of the parts of Space I don't like. It was silly for Silvy to be able to breath in space.

I don't think much of the same stuff happened. There was just a Ranger team that resembled our Overdrive Rangers. And a chain of Jungle Karma's. Maybe RJ was a capitalist in this reality. Power Rangers probably exisited in some form. But we don't know if the history is exact before the Venjix invasion.
