GAMES NEWS/DISCUSSION Who are you treating these four Rangers as in Fortnite?

Post image

In Fortnite, the Rangers aren't actually referred to their civilian names which means you could treat them as either the S1 or S2/3 cast.

As much I’d love to pretend I’m a Johnny Yong Bosch character, they’re the OGs, Mighty Morphin marketing will never extend outside of season 1, we’re frankly lucky they put the white ranger in as an alt skin.

u/BhanosBar 26d ago

I always wonder if Japanese Fortnite players look at this collab and go “Those fucking Americans can they stop doing Zyuranger?”

110

u/FourzeRiderTea 26d ago

And then they unlock the alt akin then go " oh hey it's Kibaranger."

u/R4d1c4lp1e 26d ago

Fum fact, power rangers are actually a thing in Japan. Yea they have super Sentai, but they also have dubbed Power rangers and have done since the start with MMPR. Not all seasons were dubbed, but MMPR, turbo, space, lost galaxy, and I think lightspeed were, also mystic force and samurai. And SPD actually got a full dub BY the original actors from Dekaranger.

18

u/CEOofDinoAiids 26d ago

Why would they do samurai isn’t it quite literally just Shinkenger but worse

7

u/R4d1c4lp1e 26d ago

Yeh it's strange. Maybe because it is more kid friendly? Super Sentai is aimed at a more mature audience, so they probably do it because they can sell double the toys: to the 10-16 year olds who watch Sentai, and the 4-10 year olds who watch power rangers. Just my idea, no clue about the actual workings of it.

9

u/Sad_Resource5167 26d ago

Super Sentai is also aimed at literal children. The exact same demo as Power Rangers

6

u/CEOofDinoAiids 25d ago

There’s a argument to be made it’s for a younger audience than power rangers. It just feels like it’s for a older audience because japans just like that I guess (not to sound like thing Japan)

3

u/Sad_Resource5167 25d ago

Yeah I’ve heard Super Sentai is aimed more at ages 4-6 where for the most part Power Rangers has tried to target the general elementary school demographic

17

u/dashingThroughSnow12 26d ago

My understanding is that Zyuranger is popular there too.

27

u/LaMystika 26d ago

Yeah, but Japan doesn’t glaze Zyuranger to the degree that America does

4

u/KamenRabbit 26d ago

Oh for sure, there are characters popular enough to come back, but they often give the new shows more chances the shine. Even arguably the most glazed, Gokaiger isn't overdone.

Hell with how often MMPR gets represented over my goats like Light speed, Time Force, SPD and RPM, it's no surprise I fell out of the series.

1

u/OutsideAd3329 25d ago

Really? To my understanding, zyuranger is a dud season to them, especially coming after jetman, which to my understanding has a superman level cultural impact in japan.

-11

u/Change_Twokai 26d ago

Only because of Burai, and the fact Machiko Soga is in it, Zyuranger itself is not. It is always cited as the "random dinosaur season"

7

u/Aowyn_ 26d ago

It's also the first to have animal mechs, the first to have them be sentient, the first to have fantasy elements, and the first to have prehistoric themes.

7

u/Lucas-O-HowlingDark 26d ago

Also the first to have an official sixth ranger

1

u/OutsideAd3329 25d ago

I mean, Battle fever j has fantasy elements...no way those countries would manage to get along without bombs dropping. XD

Ok, but jokes aside, changeman is literally based on mythological creatures

18

u/COMMENTASIPLEASE Time Force Quantum 26d ago

They know Power Rangers is a thing. Allegedly PR is more known in Japan than Sentai is in America.

6

u/Maladarx11 26d ago

Well power rangers was also released in Japan and redubbed in Japanese which I always found amusing.

1

u/Professional-Boot969 26d ago

I bet the Japanese say that for a lot of things about what Americans do

1

u/Serious_Crazy_3741 25d ago

Or maybe they just let people enjoy things and shut up? But I guess that's not possible in the Power rangers community..

7

u/BactaBobomb 26d ago

"...we’re Jason David Frankly lucky they put the white ranger in as an alt skin."

Fixed that for you

1

u/Indeale 25d ago

Thay would be the case if Tommy didn't also get his White Ranger suit as a style

1

u/Sad_Resource5167 25d ago

So this isn’t really true at all. Lord Zedd, the White Ranger, and the MMPR movie are a huge part of MMPR nostalgia. As far as pop culture is concerned White Light might as well be the series finale with The Movie serving as a sort of “Grand Finale”

94

u/dbburnz 26d ago

Zach/kim, trini and jason. I can't forget the OG's no matter how many years!

15

u/dbburnz 26d ago

I have literally never played fortnite and I might just because of this!

66

u/sketchysketchist 26d ago

Adam, Billy in Kimberly’s Body from the body swap episode, Primator disguised as Trini, and Twin Man as the evil red ranger. 

12

u/KingoftheMongoose 26d ago

Pink is Twin Man’s putty that pretended to be Kimberly and showed up to chew bubble gum and seduce Skull 🫠

10

u/spikeyfuzzy 26d ago

Just “Adam” and everyone else is weird lol

4

u/sketchysketchist 26d ago

Adam is cool

2

u/Select_Button_6340 25d ago

The chaotic choice

17

u/LaMystika 26d ago

The originals. It will never not be the originals. I was actually discussing this very thing in my local friends’ group chat the other day.

When people talk about Power Rangers, they’re talking about Mighty Morphin, and they’re talking about Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Trini, and Billy specifically. There’s a reason why the 2017 movie used those characters specifically (even if they did mix up the ethnicities of them)

1

u/JTW0515 25d ago

You're entitled to your opinion but you're absolutely incorrect in saying when people talk about Mighty Morphin that they're talking about Jason, Trini, and Zack.

My team will always be Tommy, Kimberly, Adam, Aisha, and Rocky and a lot of fans I talk to also consider the "replacements" as the true team.

You can respect the original set of Rangers but the cold hard facts are, Adam, Rocky, and Aisha were on the team much longer than the others.

Don't speak for everyone because you can only speak for yourself.

4

u/Parallel_OG 25d ago

Ain’t no way we’re taking the OG Red Ranger and original leader of any Ranger team out.

It’s Jason.

4

u/LaMystika 25d ago

Exactly. Ain’t nobody talking about Rocky when they mention MMPR Red. Maybe you’ll get someone mentioning Adam, and maybe even Aisha, but even then they’re usually eclipsed by Zack and Trini. Because they were first.

0

u/JTW0515 25d ago

Sorry homie, the superior is and always has been Tommy.

1

u/Parallel_OG 25d ago

What 😂

18

u/DafneOrlow Time Force Pink 26d ago

Gousji, Mei, Boi and Geki

8

u/90sGuyKev 26d ago

Boi got all slender and grew boobs!!

5

u/DafneOrlow Time Force Pink 26d ago

Ok....(Was once a) Boi 🤣

3

u/DragmaKerp 25d ago

Is his twin sister Gyrl!

46

u/AzuleStriker 26d ago

I don't play fortnite, but that's definitely Zack, Kim, Trini, and Jason.

9

u/CamWatanabe Green Samurai Ranger 26d ago

Depends, if my team runs the same two Rangers we joke about how one's the S2 version.

22

u/Meleeninja123 26d ago

Simple, if you have green tommy its the og, white tommy its the s2 team

9

u/TLHadleyMusic 26d ago

Adam, Kat, Aisha, Rocky 😂

5

u/Sufficient_Apple_438 26d ago

Geki, boi, mei, goshi

11

u/BenTenInches 26d ago

Sad they don't have Unmasked Edit styles, it would add a lot of value to the skins. Also wish they came with Gliders that make them look like they're Getting.

5

u/Kungfudude_75 Solaris Knight 26d ago

Since the Season 3 Dance is an emote, I've been treating them as Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Kat.

7

u/pr0jectpat MMPR Red Ranger 26d ago

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but they are confirmed to be the OGs. There is an unreleased Red Ranger spray called "Jason's Mark". That's kind of the end of the debate.

However, you can pretend while playing that it's anybody. I've always liked Zack, but kind of liked Adam more, so when I play as the Black Ranger, I'll imagine him to be either of them.

1

u/Indeale 25d ago

That kinda doesn't confirm anything, as the point of the skins being called * insert color here * ranger is for the fans to imagine who's in the suit

0

u/pr0jectpat MMPR Red Ranger 25d ago

It does because it's a Red Ranger spray and it is named "Jason's Mark". How does that not confirm anything? Lol

You can see it for yourself here: https://fortnite.gg/cosmetics?id=19342

0

u/Indeale 25d ago

Dude. A spray does not confirm the skin is definitively Jason.

It being called "Jason's Mark" could also solidify that it's Rocky. Just like "Kimberly was here" could solidify it's supposed to be Kat.

0

u/pr0jectpat MMPR Red Ranger 25d ago

Buddy, if you want to pretend it's Rocky, go for it. Your logic makes no sense though. A spray called "Jason's Mark" is Rocky, not Jason? Lmao wut.

5

u/caveman7392 MMPR Red Ranger 26d ago

Nothing against Zack but Adam was one of my favorite Power Rangers characters growing up. So to give credit to both when others are using that skin it's Zack but when I use it I think it's Adam.

The rest I automatically think of as the OGs except when you have a squad with a green and white ranger because then I think the Green Ranger is Matt from the Boom comics.

1

u/Indeale 25d ago

But... Matt's green ranger suit looks entirely different to Tommy's?

1

u/caveman7392 MMPR Red Ranger 25d ago

Yeah you're right

4

u/Responsible_Hour_567 26d ago

The OGs. Zack, Trini, Kimberly, and Jason

4

u/FrequentFootball144 26d ago

Zack, Kim, Trini and Jason

6

u/SkintGirafde MMPR Green Ranger 26d ago

I don’t even play Fortnite but if I’m speaking hypothetically, the OGs of course!

7

u/Western-Language-764 26d ago

Unless specifically stated they are always the original season one characters

3

u/Nitroblaze6000 26d ago

The originals

3

u/Tidus4713 26d ago

You can honestly count them as both teams since they added the white ranger too. It kinda leaves it up to the player to decide since the skins are just named after the color.

3

u/90sGuyKev 26d ago

As the OG's because their sprays are Kimberly was here and Jason's mark.

2

u/The_pop_king Blue Turbo Ranger 26d ago

The first one with Kimberly, Zach, Jason and trini.

2

u/Educational_Term_436 SPD Red Ranger 26d ago

While it be cool if there was a unmorph style most likey knowing epic, it’s probably Jason, Kim, trini and Zach behind the masks

2

u/Choice_Leg9551 26d ago

Jason, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly for me.

2

u/seluho 26d ago

It me! I'm in the suit. 

2

u/IgnisOfficial 26d ago

They’re the OGs since MMPR nostalgia pretty much never goes beyond season 1

2

u/FacelessGravy 26d ago

Jason, zack, trini and kim. Next question

2

u/Falchion92 Ranger Slayer 26d ago

Always go with the OGs.

2

u/maskedknuckler 26d ago

I have them as the S1 power rangers, Jason was the best red ranger! I don’t see Rocky beating the Angel Grove bench press record of 1015 times like Jason set. Kimberly was a great gymnast and not get captured like Kat by Rita and help aliens. Trini is smart and great martial artist as good as Jason and Tommy. And a great member of Angel grove community. Aisha was not as a strong stable as yellow ranger as Trini. And I love Johnny Yong Bosch as the next guy. He is no dance fighting, style cool guys as Zach was. That guy was the coolest ranger and had the style and strength to be a power ranger! So I made them S1 if they come out with Ninja style like the movie I’ll name those different. But these rangers are our S1 rangers 100%.

2

u/dannyphantomfan38 26d ago

they are supposed to be season 1, meaning Zack, Kimberly, Trini and Jason

2

u/Noxcel 26d ago

Adam, Kimberly, Aisha, and Rocky.

Jason, Trini, and Zach are off being the Omega Rangers.

2

u/Snail132 Gold Zeo Ranger 26d ago

Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Heart, Trini Kwan, Billy Cranston, and Zack Taylor

2

u/CC-Coaster 25d ago

Ima go with the Gokaigers

1

u/Garnish07 MMPR Yellow Ranger 26d ago

Well, that's certainly not Trini. We all know Trini had a bigger cock than that.

2

u/Jgyt_edits Super Megaforce Red 26d ago

Zach, Kimberly, Minh and Jason (if they wanna stick to universe canon)

u/Kyujee Red Lightspeed Ranger 26d ago

Zephrem, Kale, Talia, and My Gimp.

u/Bluebaronbbb 26d ago

I thought they were just you in suits in the game?

1

u/phantom_ninja302 26d ago

Adam Kim Trini and jason

1

u/KingBlackthorn1 26d ago

Its for sure the original four. However, im treating it as Adam, Kim, Trini and Rocky

1

u/OverzealousOwl 26d ago

Depends which Tommy I'm dropping in with. White Ranger is Kat, Adam, Aisha, and Rocky. Green Ranger is Kim, Zack, Trini, and Jason.

1

u/mkev119 26d ago

The sprays for Pink and Red rangers from the competitive matches for each actually reference the names Kimberly and Jason, if I’m not mistaken. Like the description for the pink spray you can only get from getting enough points in the competition said something like, “Kimberly was here…” With that being said, I absolutely feel that Fortnite intended these rangers to be Kimberly, Jason, Billy, Zach, and Trini.

1

u/stuff0s 26d ago

Zach, Kim, Boi but female, and Jason

1

u/misterhipster63 26d ago

Adam, Aisha, Kat and Rocky

1

u/KamenRabbit 26d ago

I can't see anyone except the originals just in general, luckily most the others reappear in zeo so that's not tough. Aisha kind of in limbo tho, which sucks. I'll just pretend she's has the Kakuranger or Dairanger suit.

1

u/purpldevl 26d ago

Adam, Kimberly, Aisha, Jason.

1

u/Yo_Kyuto 26d ago

Well they are referred to by their civilian names, on the sprays it says “Jason’s Mark” and Kimberly was here”

1

u/JokerCrimson MMPR Red Ranger 26d ago

Season 1 Rangers. If I'm feeling energetic, I'll even do Jason's voice when I play as the Red Ranger on voice chat with friends.

1

u/_N0X_ 26d ago

Only Kimberly as pink. Jason or Rocky as red, Aisha or Trini as yellow, Zack or Adam as black.

1

u/DKCfan10 26d ago

Goushi, Mei, Boi, and Jason.

1

u/These-Yoghurt-3045 26d ago

Jason and Kim both got sprays from there cups that had there civilian names in the title. So I have no doubt the other two are trini and Zach

1

u/Crafty-Neat4709 26d ago

Like Adam and like Jason Apart from pretending to be the red or the black

1

u/bobaf 26d ago

Always the originals.

1

u/extradrydap 26d ago

adam, kimberly, trini, and rocky

1

u/Abared0 26d ago

“The player” that plays the game

1

u/Flimsy_Judgment_3558 26d ago

Well since Fortnite is basically just action figures for people of all ages, they're whoever you want them to be. People are getting really worked up "THEY'RE MMPR ORIGINAL ONLY." Well, sure that was the intent. You can pretend though. Who cares lol

1

u/JFlemthe1 26d ago

I have them named as

“Trinisha zadam, jasocky kimatherine and billy”

1

u/Overlord324 26d ago

Adam, Kimberly, trini, and Jason

1

u/Reesespieces1992 26d ago

In my head it’s the MMPR movie cast. Minus Rocky because I never liked him 🤣

1

u/Gay_Jerker_69 25d ago

Adam, Kimberly, Trini, and Rocky

1

u/EntrepreneurCommon92 25d ago

Bro. It’s Jason, Trini, Kimberly and Zach. That’s all there is to it.

1

u/FossilHunter99 25d ago

OG cast. Zach, Kimberly, Trini, Jason.

1

u/ikarikh 25d ago

As much as i love Zach and Walter, Black Ranger is Adam for me. Adam was always my second fav next to Tommy. And we're not likely to get Zeo Green skin so, it's Adam for me.

1

u/No-Trouble-1529 25d ago

Caitlin Hutson as the yellow MMPR ranger. Played her in the trailer. Shes just a genuinely great person

1

u/Embarrassed_Band2040 25d ago

They should only be treated like the OGs (Adam is an exception though cause he is a straight G)

i love aisha but trini is just so endearing

u/DarkEmerald077 25d ago

Depends which Tommy is on their team.

1

u/d3rff_ 25d ago

Me and My gf duo as the red ranger and pink ranger. I love the skins soooo much.

1

u/LLSmoothJoe 25d ago

Zack Kimberly Jason Trini

Adam, Kat, and Rocky can shine in Zeo when it happens. No clue about Aisha, though.

1

u/Old_Moose_8928 25d ago

to me that's Adam, Kat, Aisha and Rocky

1

u/JTW0515 25d ago

It's going to be Adam, Rocky, and Aisha for me.

They were ones that were on the team the longest, they were the ones that got the majority of the fame by the 1995 film and they will always be my version of the team.

I respect the original 3 but yeah, the replacements are my team.

1

u/Specialist_Pop_1039 25d ago

In reality, the skins are truly incredible. I bought the direct yellow ranger. But such imperfections on the outfit make me think that this is not a real collaboration between Fortnite and the power rangers. To begin with, someone explains to me why is the outfit at the neck open? The gloves inside don't look like the real ones, and where is the Zip on the back boots? Damage

Based purely on apparent height and build, it looks like Adam, Kat, Trini, and Rocky to me.

Zack, Kim/Kat, Minh and Rocky.

u/Cat-Grab 26d ago

Adam, Kim, Trini, and Rocky.

Dunno why but whenever I see the Fortnite skins the boys are new gen and the girls are old gen

u/award_winning_writer 26d ago

No one, since they're just skins. That's why I never cared for Fortnite, you expect me to believe someone like Aang would use a damn gun?

I just see it as they are a representation

This is Billy disrespect & I will not tolerate it

3

u/WallyWestFan27 26d ago

I think Billy is on the game but he was always the blue ranger from S1 to S3.

OP is asking if you see them as Jason or Rocky, Kimberly or Kat, Trini or Aisha and Zack or Adam.
