Someone was at the home of Austin ST john known as the original red power ranger but they had no comment for this list.

We'll be looking at the biggest controversies that stirred beneath the spandex of this beloved franchise.

Did we miss any zord size scandals let us know in the comments below number 10 morphin rangers are banned in Malaysia.

As early as the series, very first season, these multi colored superheroes were facing monsters rita and bands at one time in Malaysia, the show wasn't allowed to be shown, but this wasn't due to the teenagers fighting or complaints about all the weapons they used.

The ban actually came down to the series name itself.

What are these?

Those are your power more fins when in danger, raised them to the sky, calling the name of your dinosaur and you will morph into a formidable fighting force known to one and all as the power rangers.

While the show's title use of morphine as slang for morphing was harmless Malaysian officials were concerned it sounded like the narcotic morphine.

It was only allowed to broadcast in the country after morphine was completely dropped from the title.

It's morphing time.

Restaurant triceratops number nine, dangerous working conditions.

It turns out that beating monsters, foiling evil plans and saving the earth is risky work both on and off camera, the tight production schedule, shoestring budget and nonunion cast led to a lot of cut corners.

In the early seasons, the original cast has been very outspoken about their experiences and mishaps.

According to various reports, stunt work was rushed and unrehearsed.

Actors were often worked to exhaustion and in one instance a faulty prop caught on fire while actors Amy jo johnson and David Yost were in a body swap machine thankfully they were unharmed at the end of the day but it was still shocking to learn that a freaky friday machine could have caused real damage.

Number eight rangers are forced to put their blade blasters away while overseas pushback was certainly a headache.

The series is statewide squabbles required more than just a quick name change.

In the opening seasons, the rangers used a rotating gauntlet of brightly colored weapons to battle evil fire but their battle gear looked a little too real for parents, parents aimed specific scrutiny at the laser like blade blasters, although they didn't fire bullets, adults didn't want kids idolizing any form of gun under mounting pressure.

The show made it so the rangers hardly ever used the blade blasters during fights.

It also helped that the team got ninja powers to sneak right past having to rely on the controversial weapon, you have proven yourselves worthy to possess the power of ninja.

This is a great responsibility.

Use your powers wisely the road you face will not be easy.

Number seven cast members walk out during a crossover when members of the Lost Galaxy cast appeared for two crossover episodes after their run ended, they had to participate in battles and fight for screen time.

Lost Galaxy rangers.

No way.

Yeah that's us and it looks like we got here just in time during production Saban realized the returning rangers weren't in the episodes very much.

This caused the company to reevaluate the team's already agreed upon salaries.

The pay dispute caused Amy Miller who played the big bad dracaena to walk off set.

As a result the episodes had to throw together a c silly reason for the character to now wear a mask.

Those miserable Galaxy rangers destroyed my magnificent beauty so I will repay their treachery by destroying their beloved earth.

Although Lost Galaxy Red ranger, Danny Slavin reportedly walked two.

He completed enough scenes that his absence was barely noticeable actually.

I think it was kind of fun getting back to the action only you think that was fun.

The more phenomenal mess behind the scenes of these episodes makes it a wonder this crossover happened at all.

Number six Monica maze burlesque career.

Following the conclusion of S.

P.

D.

In 2005 the actress behind street smart yellow ranger Z found success in front of the camera and on stage as a burlesque dancer but some people couldn't see her as anything but a power ranger.

It's not real.

Okay.

A vocal minority of fans have ridiculously criticized may for quote ruining their childhood just because she does risque performances in 2020, she even took to Twitter to directly clap back at people who are trying to judge her choices.

Since may has still been seen and invited to official ranger fan events.

It's clear that many people don't see anything wrong with May's burlesque.

So while some viewers might want to call SPD to step in, there's no emergency here you do the crime you pay the time.

We defeated.

Oh I am and I brought an army to but after this controversy, ST john might not be welcomed back to ranger events again.

Number four David Yost faces prejudice on set while the hero stood for equality and fairness, Blue ranger, David Yost found that this sunny superhero series was a toxic and un accepting workplace for him.

Years after his departure from the franchise, he came clean about one of the major reasons he left the popular show.

Yost reported that he faced relentless ridicule for his sexuality, Continuing to work in an environment like that is really difficult and I myself was struggling with who I was or what I was after being de morphed from a ranger to a mentor.

He stuck it out for a while before abandoning the role in Zio without filming a goodbye.

The production used archival footage and a hasty bit of exposition to explain his absence guys, I've made a really important decision, I'll miss you all, but I'm going to stay here on, I think I finally found someone I can really relate to, I knew you would billy While his exit was shrouded in darkness, Yost is thankfully now appreciated for the hardship he endured for the sake of the franchise.

Power rangers.

This shocking report was followed by the tragic news that he took his own life in the aftermath of magazine was passing a diary he allegedly wrote highlighted that he struggled with self loathing dependency on alcohol and feelings of inferiority.

His issues with self confidence are eerily similar to problems his character faced in power rangers face your fear, shame, believe in yourself and you will have nothing to fear.

It's understandable why fans may be reluctant to revisit episodes that explore Shane psychology today, even though the red ranger's struggles were fictional.

Seeing magus Eva portray him feels real and very heavy.

Sorry tora.

I can't really focus right now, your brother's visit's really messing with you, huh?

Yeah.
