Original MMPR Movie Universe

So with RPM being an AU that can be traveled to in the main universe....Does that meant the movie timeline is probably another universe?

I would say it is likely part of this same multiverse. Its interesting because the nature of the Ninjetti Powers meant the Rangers would retain them ideffinitly.

I always wondered why they ignored the movie on the show.

The way that season 3 ignore the first movie make me believe that the first movie took place in another universe.

It's because 20th Century Fox held pretty much all of the rights to everything to do with the movie plus they had hired writers who had no knowledge of the show so things weren't in line with the show.

Here are some of the problems with the movie that would've caused issues for the show.

Zordon is in the tube in the Command Center when that was never the case in the show he was always in a time warp and the tube was just his communication channel but he was freed from his time warp in Turbo.
Mordant since he didn't exist in the show and they had enough minions to deal with.
Finster, Squatt and Baboo were not in the movie which again doesn't fit in with the show.
The big time changes they had made to Zordon, Alpha and Command Center all of which they wouldn't have been able to keep and they probably wouldn't have wanted to anyway.
The 'metallic' suits that they had which they wouldn't have been able to keep even if they had wanted to since they were more problems than they were worth.
Ninjazords/Ninja Megazords - while it's probable they could've gotten away with using CGI for the 6 individual zords they wouldn't have been able to keep a CGI Megazord considering they would've needed to continue with using Kakuranger footage and it would have looked awkward using the same CGI Megzord in footage in which we would have just seen Kakuranger Ninja Megazord/Megafalconzord footage.

It always bothered me why it wasn't in continuity. But I guess the production changes made that hard. I am glad Turbo was done in canon.

It would be interesting to see how this team became Rangers. Do Jason, Zack, and Trini exisit? Was Tommy ever Green Ranger?

I would imagine Rita and Zedd were already married. The team in the movie was probably the origjnal team. With Tommy joining the team as White.

I am fine with it being its own Universe. The sequel would have been more successful if it was a sequel to MMPR.

I don't think it is all that different from the main PR universe. Except for better looking equitment and/or visuals.
