^Gonna have to jut in and say that I think planet-level Power Rangers is bunk as shit yo. It all seems to come from Lord Zedd and Rita doing weird shit, but I don’t think that’s applicable.

Rita causing a solar eclipse is explicitly stated to be a result of her magic, it seems far more likely that it’s a result of her own hax instead of raw power. There isn’t any other actual feat in the series that supports a non-zord having this level of power, it’s a massive outlier. If Rita is packing this much power, then why is Zedd, who should be above her, reliant on Serpentera to destroy planets? I get that AP doesn’t equal range, but being able to cause a solar eclipse actually would show range capable of planet-busting, so. Other than that, all we have to go on is vague statements about “killing the planet” and “wiping life”, but come on lads. It’s a schlocky action show, the villains are all arrogant and overconfident and make wide threats all the time. Otherwise very generic mad scientist planning to destroy the world is a planet-buster. Fact of the matter is that Serpentera sorta sets a definitive barrier for Power Rangers characters, as it’s planetary and as a result is pretty much unstoppable.

Also a lot of the logic is circular as hell. Megazord is planetary because Tommy is planetary because he fought Zedd briefly (even though Zedd obviously wasn’t using any of his actual power and Tommy fought him for a very short time) who’s planetary because Rita is? Sheesh
