Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
We still don't put too many deaths or dirty jokes in kids shows the way sentai does for example. The White Ranger in Dairanger fondles the pink ranger in one scene and while it is played for laughs in Japan imagine if Tommy fondled Kimberly in Power rangers.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 9:57 pmIt worked when they did it for the Voltron reboot on Netflix.

Considering power rangers is moving away from sentai soon we'll be getting original more mature shows most likely.

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
Why do they want to further distance themselves from their source material? Plus, it’s been pretty much the norm for kids shows to tackle mature themes since the 90’s.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 3:37 amWe still don't put too many deaths or dirty jokes in kids shows the way sentai does for example.

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
Power Rangers is limited by Super Sentai for the stories they want to tell. After Dino Fury they're moving away from Sentai and going 100% original. Luckily they did say there will be mature shows and movies in addition to the kid friendly show.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 11:47 amWhy do they want to further distance themselves from their source material?

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
I highly doubt that. Sentai was helping Power Rangers a lot not just with footage but with merchandise as well. Wanting more freedom is the only plus side I see to Hasbro wanting to do Power Rangers 100% on their own from now on. Also remember Hasbro had to ok Godzilla vs MMPR just like Toho did so I doubt its embarrassment.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 4:51 pmAre they just ashamed of the franchise's foreign roots?miguelnuva wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 2:27 pmPower Rangers is limited by Super Sentai for the stories they want to tell.

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
Definitely. On the other hand? Saban's creative team limited themselves greatly without Toei's help. The Saban and Disney eras invested much more in crafting stories than Neo Saban did. Samurai was a haphazard Shinkenger remake that insulted its audience and Megaforce just mangled two different series ,left in pre-Zyu and Dairanger references, and then cut out the MMPR homage with Ninjor. The other seasons, including Beast Morphers were in the same vein. Beast Morphers managed to be worse than Ninja Steel and decided to adapt some haphazard version of Gobusters story rather than their own. Even though they basically only used a fraction of the Sentai footage due to the footage being mostly useless, they still adapted the story.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 2:27 pmPower Rangers is limited by Super Sentai for the stories they want to tell.

I've followed the rumor mill drama and it turned out that Simon Bennett, the creative head of the franchise, soundly debunked the Toei-Hasbro split spread by Illuminerdi and them splitting off in the adaptations. In fact, while it was revealed Hasbro was involved with both Ryusoulger and Kiramaiger, the added part being that for the main TV series, Hasbro can freely commission new suits and designs from PLEX themselves in order to raise or maintain the age demographic. That's why I'm not doubting Zenkaiger or Donbrothers being adapted. They could easily do their own thing with redesigned suits for the former. Donbrothers could go either way, but Hasbro could easily sub in new Pink, Blue and Black suits on par with the human designs.
I still don't understand Bennett's logic over not adapting either LuPat or Kyuuranger. Dino Fury is barely about knights and nothing about the footage suggests that new footage couldn't recontextualize the former. Or that the cost of the latter couldn't be justified by going all out for the 30th anniversary. Plus there's a few other series as well.

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
You misread. I said I hadn’t heard of a show that has avoided serious topics. Since you listed shows that do, you must have thought I hadn’t heard of a serious kids show. Which is the opposite of my stance.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 3:43 pmI don’t know, maybe Every show in the DCAU X-men TAS, Gargoles, Avatar The Last Airbender, it’s sequel Legend of Korra and heck even Captain Planet just to name a few.Voyager wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 12:02 pmI don't even know a single kid's show that hasn't tackled mature topics.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 11:47 am Plus, it’s been pretty much the norm for kids shows to tackle mature themes since the 90’s.

I've read what you've had to say. What's wrong with kids shows getting serious from time-to-time? Children can be more smarter and mature than our society gives them credit for.

Every single time, you take the wrong message from my posts. Never once did I say serious kids shows were bad, nor did I imply kids are dumb.
Edit: I'm sorry I had an emotional outburst. Last hour really rocked me.

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
So, in the time since this thread was last posted in...
1) Lord Zedd made good on his promise to return in the second season of Power Rangers: Dino Fury and was a total bad ass for a few episodes. He even teamed up with Scrozzle from Power Rangers: Beast Morphers and the two made for a fun villain team together.
2) Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury has been announced. It's essentially a third season of Dino Fury (the first time since MMPR that a team has gotten three seasons!), Zedd will be the main villain this time, and it's going to be like 90% American footage, with the only Super Sentai footage used being that of the Zord fights - They're even going to have completely new, American-designed Ranger suits! The only downside is that Cosmic Fury - seemingly the grand finale of the Power Rangers series, or at least its original continuity from 1993 to 2023 - will only be 10 episodes long.
3) This is also happening, though it hasn't been confirmed yet if this is part of Cosmic Fury or if it is its own separate thing:

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
A sad day today. Jason David Frank passed away today.
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that. Fight me.
Anguirus and Godzilla being friends in the Showa series is cannon. Deal with it.
Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

The trailer for MMPR: Once & Always has been... released? Leaked? It's out. And it's much darker than I would've expected.

Re: Power Rangers/Super Sentai Thread
And yet also, not that dark. Like darker than the original show, but still doesn't scream emo edgelord gritty like some fan videos have gone in recent years. Like this feels like Power Rangers mildly grown up, but keeping to the core feels of what came before. If that makes any sense? Basically it still feels more Power Rangers-y to me than other "darker" PR stuff we've seen out there.TitanoGoji16 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 7:58 pm The trailer for MMPR: Once & Always has been... released?

I agree, it feels just right. Also, CGI MMPR Dino Megazord! Probably using the ZAP Megazord CAD files.
