Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 7–8

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The group relies on teamwork and exhibits respect for each other, but violence always seems to be the answer to any dilemma. The Rangers are moderately diverse -- two of the five are Latina females.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Fantasy hand-to-hand violence is central to the show, and swords and gun-like objects are used. There's no blood, but consequences are likewise lacking.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Rangers use cell phones to access their morphing power and to cast specialized spells. The show itself is a marketing tool for action figures and other toys.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Power Rangers Mystic Force

Parents need to know that this show relies heavily on martial arts fight scenes for its success, as the plot has very little substance to offer kids. Fantasy violence includes punching, kicking, sword battles, and firepower, none of which has serious consequences. The Power Rangers are heavily marketed to the 5+ set, but they're better suited for kids a year or two older. Little kids may find some of the monstrous villains scary, and occasionally a Ranger turns into a vampire or similarly frightening being. Lessons on friendship and teamwork are muddled in the midst of the show's suffocating violence.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about effective ways to settle disputes. Why do the Rangers rely on fighting to solve their problems? Does it ever totally defeat the enemy? How do you resolve differences with siblings or friends? Parents can also discuss the difference between fantasy and real violence, reminding kids that in the real world, fighting can have severe consequences.

    One of the best in the series!

    Power Rangers Mystic Force is one of the best versions of Power Rangers there is! Sure, previous Power Ranger seasons have incorporated magic, but the magic these Rangers use is different. It is the kind of magic everybody loves, spells, dragons, magic brooms, wands, and so much more. And each show does teach a different lesson, but at the end of the season, the real lesson is to never give up, and that will teach the kids something. You can refer to me as Spova Lover.
