Secret of the Power rangers


Everyone remembers that fateful day when the green Power Ranger changed into the white ranger. Of course they do. The most observant of us may have even realised a clever way to figure out his secret identity too.

It's a, lets be frank obvious point, but if your a Power ranger then your incredibly stupid. Why? Not because you are surprised that every week there's a creature attacking the same empty quarry, although that is slightly dim. No, it's because during their everyday activities the rangers are obsessive about their clothes. If you look very very closely you'll realise that they always always wear the same colours as their individual ranger colours. Red wears red, blue wears blue etc. Should it be any surprise that Bulk and Skull don't realise this (the answer is of course no, but I realise that the answer doesn't matter because you're too busy looking away from the screen and shaking your head in disgust that I even remember their names...of course if your that disgusted then you must remember them too, so I'm not alone). Should it be surprising that once the green ranger changed to white that his daily clothes changed too? No, but it's mighty odd.

But none of that is the point. The point is, have you thought to apply these theories in other ways? With this in mind, I'll point you to that old favourite Star Wars. Why? Because I accuse a fair chunk of the cast of being Power Rangers themselves.

Darth Vader is obviously the black ranger
An Imperial guard is the red ranger
A Stormtrooper is a white ranger
C3PO is a poncey yellow ranger
Leia in her slave girl outfit is the pinkest ranger you'll find
And the piano player in Jabba's palace Max Rebo is the blue ranger

I did try to have pictures of them all just to show you, but the upload thing seems to have stalled on me. Maybe I've got a limit there.

But anyway, can you think of any other group of people that could secretly be Power rangers?
