Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
With SPD taking place in the future and show distant from the regular PRU. You can help but wondering if it is from another universe like RPM supposedly is. Greg Arnowitz ( Bruce Kalish's second in command) admitted that he wanted it to be. But the DinoThunder team up seems to contradict this. As well as "Once A Ranger". But I suppose you could say the SPD team may have went to another universe. SPD could have the same backstory as the regular PR Timeline. By all other accounts, SPD is considered part of the main timeline. But you have figure things will get murky if the show makes it to 2025. Its almost silly to worry about that now. Who knows what state the franchise will be in by that point. I'd probably have to say that SPD is in fact in the regular PRU. But at the same time I have to wonder if that will be retconned somehow in the future.

IF MMPR to JF is the same universe and it is possible that PR will still exist by 2025. This is what will happen:
1. At some point SPD will have to be established as the one and only source of PRs to defend Earth, this was made clear on the show. 2. If 1 isn't done then SPD will no longer be in continuity regardless of teamups that happened after the SPD season. 3. 1 will never be done, because no one will be beholden to someone elses crapfest. 4. SPD is not in continuity. 5. SPD is an alternate reality. The same could be applied to TF but since there is no way in hell that Power Rangers will exist by that point in time, there is nothing to erase it from the MMPR to JF continuity, therefore TF is still and will always be in continuity. |

That SPD is in continuity with the rest of PR (minus RPM, perhaps) isn't a matter of debate. Any and all possibility of it not being in continuity disappeared once they made "History".

I'm fairly certain I'm not, but I'm willing to hear you out. Not saying you're wrong, but could you provide the source for this? It's been a while since I've seen the show. Eh? "SPD is not in continuity right now because in the future PR might still be going, and it might contradict the show" isn't exactly a rock-solid argument. Even if this speculative future does come to pass, why must it be SPD that is counted out of regular PR continuity? After all, it would be the current show that is contradicting a previous one. Besides, SPD's connection to the rest of the PR universe has been well established. SPD rangers have appeared alongside rangers from MMPR, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, Mystic Force, and Operation Overdrive. It's not destiny if it might not even happen.n. |

If SPD is ever Retconned, the parrallel universe excuse is a good way to explain why the team ups happened. I don't think SPD will be retconned out for a long time though. We have another 15 years. Which is almost as long as the show has been on the air.
I don't recall SPD ever being stated to being the only Earth Power Rangers in 2025. But I suppose they did act like B Squad was the only force left to protect the Earth. But thats how every season is. Then again, most Power Ranger teams don't seem to overlap on Earth. |
Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
Actually from what I remember of WF, the Yellow Ranger had been a Ranger for at least a year prior to WF's airing. The other not Red nor Sixth Ranger were also Rangers before the show started.

I wish we could consider the Disney era its own continuity but I guess its too late for that. And understandably doesn't make good business sense. It must really bother Saban since i know he is a big control freak. But he does whats best for the Franchise. I can't wait until he fixes the movie franchise!

Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
Its amazing how time flies, 2025 seems a lot closer now than when I originalky posted this thread.

Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
It isn't right now but in 2025 it will probably be retconned as one. RPM and Dino Charge have already set the precedent for alternate universes. Its odd that 2025 is close enough to realistically believe PR will still be going on. I know anything can happen but still.

Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
Power Rangers is an evergreen brand. Even if it does get cancelled again it will always he around in some form. Andy some semblance of a TV show will most likely return at some point.
|
Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
I don't like this recent trend of making PR seasons from alternate universes. I knew it was trouble when RPM did it and Dino Charge did it for no reason. At least RPM had the apocalyptic angle to explain.

Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
I think the season is definitely part of the future of the current PRU.
|
Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
its definitely part of the pru. Just in the future.

Well New Tech City could be retconned as a secret city.

It is the same continuity. We are just going to suspend our disbelief and consider New Tech its own unique city in 2025.

Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
Its in continuity with MMPR so yes. Even if it is nowhere near as good as MMPR.
|
Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
I think its its own continuity now. I hope all Power Rangers' seasons end up being their own continuity

Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
Okay I moved all the leftover Sentai Snob drama to the Sentai Snob thread in off topic. I copied Changeman's post so I could leave it here. Since it did pertain to the thread. I don't mind topic drift but not that type of nonsense. Better to keep it to that thread since I never closed it.

Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
its absolutely in the same continuity, the team ups with DR proves this. As well as Bridge's appearance in OO.
|
Re: Is SPD in the same continuity as the main PRU?
I wish we could retcon Jack out of continuity. What a jerk who didn't deserve to lead.
