The Zeo Crystals are a powerful artifact in the new Power Rangers Cinematic Universe (PRCU) that channel the Morphing Grid – the dimension that allows the Rangers to harness their powers. To keep it from falling into the wrong hands, the Zeo Crystals were hidden on Earth and protected by a force field that would vaporize anyone looking to steal the Crystals upon contact.
And it’s on Earth 65 million years ago that Rita Repulsa, the original Green Power Ranger gone rogue, creates the evil Goldar for one purpose – to steal the Zeo Crystals. With the Zeo Crystals, Rita plans to deliver them to her master, Lord Zedd, who sports a half burned face from his attempt to steal the Zeo Crystals himself.
Unsuccessful in his attempt to steal the powerful relic, Goldar is vaporized into particles of gold – until Rita resurrects him from his gold particles 65 million years later to take on the modern-day Power Rangers and their larger-than-life Megazord.
I tried to talk with him, but after saying a few sentences, he says he will “Finish the conversation” with me on Twitter, Facebook Messanger or kik, I tried going to the link and saying something after a few min, but he will not talk to me anymore! I wish you could only chat with him on the site at anytime and not just go to the site, say a few sentences, and then say ” Lets Finish The conversation on 1 of the three things, and then not say anything anymore, it makes me kind of lonely!
He actually did recognize Tommy Oliver. He uses a unique phrase for him that did not match any of his other error messages. So he did not recognize Rocky Desantos but used a similar phrase if you were to ask him about the weather. I tested this a few times and this is what came up everytime only in reference to Tommy. Here it is:
“That name does not “ring a bell” so I’m afraid that one of your angels will not get it’s wings.”
spoiler alert idiot
If you type in “Bill Hader”, he says:
“I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t listen to any of my “haders.”
