Goldar's Revenge: Eddie was willing to take a risk and not limit himself to the sentai, resulting in a classic series. Tzachor, in terms of Samurai and Megaforce, did the opposite and came up with a knockoff(Samurai) and a total flop (Megaforce).

because Power Rangers is meant to be in continuity with one another and now because of RPM that flies in the space of that tradition which is partially what the series is - 1 universe not 1 universe and an alternate dimension.

No doubt about Eddie and not limiting himself to the Sentai but it also helped that Disney no longer cared about the product so he could do pretty much anything that he had wanted to do.

I really liked a lot of RPM's first half. Eddie realy tried to present Power Rangers in a fresh way.. The Ranger origin episodes were superb . It was nice changing it up with a Black Ranger focused season. The writing was smart. The season was darker yet still had some humor mixed in. Eddie did a great job with characterization and story build up. Its a shame his vision and drive cost production to almost halt. It cost him his job.

Personally I would have liked to either have it as the "bad future" of the Power Rangers universe the way SPD, and maybe Time Force are the "good future".

That or have some kind of twist where it turned out RPM was on some other planet a long time ago, and all this time it was actually a prequel about the origin of the machine empire.

They could have had it turn out to be a failed Earth Colony in the future. Maybe even Mirinoi. The real Earth wouldn't help due to the risk of Venjik's coming to earth.

RPM was just disjointed due to all the production drama. The two halves feel like very different seasons. But it couldn't be avoided once production nearly halted. Eddie is most likely a very creative guy but he still shouldn't have let the show fall behind like that. Even if it was because he wanted the best creatively. Execs have to find that happy medium of doing whats best for the business of the show while still doing whats best for creative.

I didn't like RPM very much. So I am glad it isn't part of the Power Rangers Universe we all love.
