Power Rangers’ New Prime Directive Changes Franchise Lore Forever
For the first time, Zordon has not only outwardly acknowledged his shortcomings in 1969 but is actively taking steps to rectify them. In trying to correct the past, Zordon is shaping to create a better future for future eras of Power Rangers, but it also creates a huge shift for the franchise as fans know it. It’s great to see Zordon come to terms and make things right, but such a simple rule like this could have major ramifications for the Rangers, both good and bad.
On the good side, history from the television series should remind audiences of multiple (albeit rare) instances of Rangers whose secret identities were made public knowledge from the start, most notably with Lightspeed Rescue. Matthew has reaped similar benefits more recently, becoming a local celebrity in Angel Grove since first revealing his identity on national television. On the other hand, having public identities occasionally put the team and their loved ones at risk, to the point that the Lightspeed team’s Captain William Mitchell’s own son was recruited by the villains to be used against him as a Power Ranger for evil.
It’s the same reason why common comic book superheroes keep their identities secret, to protect the people closest to them. Zordon’s new rule in the BOOM! Studios series seems almost counterproductive, trying to keep the Power Rangers at their utmost safe while simultaneously leaving an impact that puts them in danger, but only time will tell where this goes from here.
