Ok let’s put this to rest once and for all!
In the early morning hours of April 1st floods and floods of tweets, facebook shares, tumblr posts & blog articles amassed on the internet after RangerCrew creators uploaded this article:
Saban Brands & Nickelodeon Presents: Mighty Morphin’ Pirate Rangers
It announced that Saban and Nick were announcing the plans for the 20th Anniversary and giving the new team of Rangers the “Mighty Morphin'” Tag. The article also stated that several cast members would return such as Blake Foster, Jason David Frank & Mike Ginn!
Of course hundreds of followers on the message boards began to speculate was it true or was it April Fools Joke. But, I knew all along! We must never believe information leaked on April 1st! RangerCrew even had Mike Ginn working with them to get the joke off the ground, what genius!
But, now we know that this was all a joke and we can go back to knowing nothing about the upcoming 20th Anniversary!
Check out the article above, but here is the best part:
*** THIS IS ALL FALSE ***
“Mighty Morphin’ Pirate Rangers introduces five brand new teens who are selected to become Pirate Rangers based on their masterful expertise in their respective fields. Together, they must unite as a team to battle against the evil Space Empire led by Commander Gil. However, in order to do so, they will need to scour the planet in search of the Mega Force Keys, powerful weaponry that allows them to harness the power of former Ranger teams.
The Pirate Rangers are: Nathan, the Red Ranger and outgoing team leader; Jacob, the Blue Ranger and loyal teammate; Aiden, the Green Ranger and brains behind the operation; Abbey, the Yellow Ranger and tomboy with a bit of an attitude; and Kayla, the Pink Ranger and “young sister” of the group. Together, the team will unite under the lead of their experienced mentor, Justin Stewart (portrayed by Blake Foster), a veteran Ranger from long ago who returns to renew his stance in the fight against evil.”
RangerCrew may have led the charge with an awesome April Fools Joke, but the Official Power Rangers Facebook also got into the festivities by releasing this interesting new campaign!
