The troubled, colorful history of the “Power Rangers” franchise

Aidan Judge, Arts and Entertainment Editor April 9, 2025
   In 1993, pop culture was introduced to a franchise that would fascinate children’s television with a fresh take on superhero stories. Produced by Saban Entertainment, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” quickly rose to prominence as one of the cornerstones of after-school television memories for children of the 1990s. It follows the story of five teenagers who are left with the fate of the universe in their hands after they are given powers by Zordon to defeat the villain, becoming the color-coded, spandex-wearing, band of heroes, the Power Rangers.

Since Spider-Man’s addition to the MCU, fans have been divided on the handling of his character, as the MCU wedged him between the Avengers and the multiverse. “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” impressed fans by addressing their issues with the MCU’s Spider-Man story and reworking it to create a new start for the young hero which is not part of the MCU.

The late ‘90s MTV animated sitcom that reached teenage misfits across the nation is still reaching them today. “Daria” gave the world an everyday heroine – albeit a cynical, dry and antisocial one – in Daria Morgendorffer. She represents the misanthropic smart-aleck who lives within all of us, regardless of generational lines.
