Space Stallions!

[A Black Falcon]

Ah I see, that explains it. Honestly Power Rangers is a ripoff of stuff like Voltron way more than it is Ninja Turtles.

Apparently so, but when Power Rangers came out I'd never watched much of any of those shows, so Ninja Turtles was my main reference point. And Power Rangers was so stupid in comparison. (They are comparable in popularity, though, and that was part of what I was thinking too -- after Ninja Turtles faded in like '92-94, the Power Rangers sort of took that spot.)

Well, let me explain this a little better. It's a parody of a LOT of stuff, from Silverhawks

to Thundercats, Voltron, He-Man, and probably a few others. If you just watch the openings of those, you'll get an inkling.

I've never watched Voltron, Thundercats, or Silverhawks (Never seen Gobots either, on a maybe related note). Not sure if I've heard Silverhawks before, either. He-Man and She-Ra I have seen a few episodes of here and there though, and I did see some He-Man elements in that Space Stallions video, most notably the design of one of the main characters. Looks a lot like He-Man-inspired design.

Super Sentai [of which Power Rangers is a part] predates Volton and Ninja Turtles by several years, by the way.

True, in Japan. Here though, was there anything before Power Rangers? Is Voltron like that? As I said, I've never seen it.
