Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 7–8

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Violence is the only means of conflict resolution throughout the series. The Power Rangers rely on each other's individual strengths to battle their enemies. Female characters are strong; the cast has some diversity.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Plenty of violence -- martial arts style fighting and high-tech shoot-outs -- with little to no consequences.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Power Rangers merchandise (toys, games, clothes) gets a lot of publicity from the series.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Power Rangers SPD

Parents need to know that this series contains plenty of violence -- martial arts style fighting and high-tech shoot-outs -- with little to no consequences. It's unrealistic, and there's never any blood. The Power Rangers are heavily marketed to the 5+ set, but they're better suited for kids a year or two older.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the difference between real and fantasy violence. Is it ever OK to fight in real life the way they do in the series? Is it ever OK to hurt bad guys? Who do your kids think "bad guys" are in real life? What are some other ways you can settle your problems with other people? Parents and kids can also talk about teamwork. What makes a good team?
