1: I'm not dead.
2: I'm starting to get into Power Rangers as well. I did watch a bit as a kid, and I have been watching most seasons on Netflix.

Quick history lesson.
Power Rangers is the American (or New Zealand since 2003) adaptation of the long running Japanese tokusatsu show Super Sentai.
I say New Zealand since it was filmed around Los Angeles, California in the USA from 1993 to 2002, and since 2003 it's filmed in and around Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand.
When Sentai reached its 16th season after switching cast and costumes each year, the Americans wanted a slice of the action too.
Saban Entertainment subsequently made Mighty Morphin Power Rangers by adapting that 16th Super Sentai season, Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, and mixing some of its stock footage and fight scenes with fresh American footage.
It was an instant hit that MMPR's 1st season lasted 60 episodes, with many episodes even featuring new exclusive footage shot in Japan.
Plus, with each Sentai featuring big robots, rebranded as Zords in Power Rnagers, and Zyuranger being themed around Dinosaurs and a few other prehistoric animals, you get an instant win. Because robot dinosaurs.

Season 2 is where things start to get a bit different. While retaining the old Zyuranger suits, the rangers got new Zords, the Thunder zords. These were taken from a new Sentai show, Gosei Sentai Dairanger, which had completely new uniforms and mechas based on creatures from Chinese mythology.
And whilte quite a bit of Dairanger stuff was adapted, the main 5 ranger suits weren't adapted, since kids were used to the Zyuranger suits by now.
Not helped that between Zyuranger and Dairanger, there was a bit of a color change.
Zyuranger: Red, blue, black, yellow and pink for the main 5, and green for the 6th member.
Dairanger: Red, blue, green, yellow and pink for the main 5, and white for the 6th member.

This can be seen as an alternative take for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2, or another interpretation of the fandom finding a way to incorporate the main 5 Dairanger suits into Power Rangers.
Though because I don't really like the gold animal mask motif on the Dairanger helmets, I decided to make them different shades of the main ranger colors, and the green lion ranger has been recolored to black, though I did put green eyes on his helmet as an homage to the original.
