Reflections of a Power Ranger
Where is life anyway? In us or on those who actually fought for saving the other’s life? It seems weird at time but I actually think that life is for the one’s that fight for their own lives not for the other’s life. It seems weird that I’m saying these things but I spent my youth fighting for something that wasn’t my life. I never got my questions answered and I never got any response for external sources. Was my job as a Power Ranger worth it? Is saving a life really what makes powerful a superhero?
I was walking outside thinking about all of my work as a Power Ranger... …Fighting monsters, using advanced weapons, driving a Megazord and having other people as my partners. I have a legacy of colors in my life but I never understood the benefits of risking my life to save the others. I was in the risk of being gone forever, to be in some villains’ hand and never return to life. I was actually the perfect target for them. I was powerful. I had the perfect weapons. I was a great fighter and I keep being a good fighter. All of my questions started to rise when I put the shoes of a mentor…
A mentor… the one that is supposed to teach, to train and to show the rangers the benefit of the Power Ranger work. I don’t know if I did a good job but we defeated our main villain, so I guess that’s a good sign. I gave my knowledge to prepare the other’s mind and soul to be a Power Ranger. Is a hard work but I was thinking about something… how can a mentor teach a Power Ranger things if some of them weren’t rangers? I was a ranger but people like Zordon, Dimitria, Princess Shayla and maybe Sensei were never rangers. Even that they never were rangers they taught them how to be one. Looking at my thoughts I think…Is a Power Ranger a fighter with a colored suit or a person that feels in his heart that his job is to save the world?
I know that I’m asking questions like the S.P.D Green ranger that now is blue. But really, a mentor that wasn’t a ranger helped in everything and developed the rangers. So maybe a Power Ranger is a job that comes straight from the heart and not from the weapons and suits. A Power Ranger needs to have the strength and the will to save the world. A man with a shiny suit and a blaster maybe can destroy a monster but if he doesn’t feel it then is not worth it. Is not worth it because a Power Ranger needs to have the heart and the will to go to a place, fight his heart off and be happy about his work. Is something that all of us can do. I know that you can put a suit and fight some monster like we do if you have a blaster and a great grade of excitement. You can, right? I know you can but you can’t compare excitement with heart and with the essence of a true ranger…
I look at people like Sky Tate, the S.P.D. Red ranger and I think, is the color that important? Is pink better than red? Is red better than yellow? Like some one said one time… “Heroes come in no colors” A color is just a way to distinguish a ranger from another. Can you imagine every Time Force Ranger with the same color and design? Can you distinguish them? I know that you can’t… imagine all the Mystic Force rangers in the Pink Legend Warrior suit. Is just silly but it proves that a Power Rangers is not about the color is about the heart. Is not a weapon that makes a Power Ranger, is not a zord that makes a Power Ranger…
Maybe my heart is getting annoying but I’m just a ranger that wants other rangers to be great rangers. I guess I answered my questions thanks to you but is up to you to decipher what a true Power Ranger is. I know that you know who I am… I know that you do…
This can be continued, but are you really interested to hear the perspective of this ranger…?
