Power Rangers gave several nods to the classic series, including the Mighty Morphin era. It turns out one of those might have surfaced in the movie’s opening sequence.

Slight spoilers incoming for Power Rangers, so if you haven’t seen the movie yet you’ve been warned.
JLSProblemDog managed to spot a possible Lord Zedd Easter egg early in the film. As Red Ranger Zordon is crawling towards the screen in the midst of a war zone, a large ship flys overhead. He caught a screenshot of the ship, and from that angle, it looks very similar to Lord Zedd’s Zord Serpentera.
Could the battle the Rangers fought in against Rita (in her Green Ranger form) be against the forces of Lord Zedd? It’s certainly a possibility, and the director has said Zedd is a natural choice for the sequel.
As for Serpentera, the gargantuan Zord is the largest one ever created and has the power to literally destroy planets. The only Zord that can withstand its power is Tor The Shuttlezord, but that is only from a defensive position, not an offensive one.
It could probably destroy the Rangers easily, but luckily for them, it has a constant need for fuel, an Achilles heel that has saved the Rangers several times. You can view the screenshot below.
Power Rangers currently has a 72.95 on ComicBook.com’s composite rankings.
