There is nothing that will convince me that RPM was anything but the greatest series of them all.

>>20556
Man Bard, it's about ti-WAIT WHAT?

>>20569
This is truth

>>20569
I only managed to watch the first like 10 episodes and even I know that.

I mean, fuck, what other Power Rangers series have someone with the special power of being SCOTTISH!

>>20556

Damn you Disney, for ruining our epic Serpentara fight...

>>22377
I think this really belongs in our Pirate Sentai thread.

Here, I'll save you a search.

Anybody got a link to the new season?

Only problem was there was no Bulk theme Bulk and Skull Theme

There needs to be more covers.
Power Rangers Theme (Split-Screen Cover)

>>23022
oh ok
Powerglove - Power Rangers theme

What the poop, man. This is how you start a show.

Power Rangers Samurai Opening Theme v1

more gifs to go with the theme, because goddamn

>>23026

Hmm. The only thing I'm worried about is that it's a little TOO derivative of the original series theme. But I will agree, it's great and full of energy.

>>23028

Man, they need to derive the hell out of it. If later seasons have showed me anything it's that METAL is the glue that holds these shows together. Case in point, SPD was fantastic and Jungle Fury makes me want to shoot myself whenever I hear their theme.

So...does anyone have a link to the first ep?

>>23032
Power Rangers Samurai - Episod…

I like the Red rangers, great dooshbag.

PR:Samurai - Bulk and Spike pr…

... I can't help but feel there was something seriously missing in the first episode.
Like any backstory at all. They gave a tiny little preshow explanation, but it was seriously anemic.

>>23061

I don't think it was the actual first episode. Didn't they call it a "sneak peek"?

>>23042
Here's to the legacy of the two that never failed to love being in the show. And hopes for Professor Skull to come around for some strange intellectual moments.

>>23061
From what I heard, it's actually the 3rd episode.

>>23063
He teaches at Angel Grove University and heads up the Morphology department.

Does it still freak anyone else out that there's an actual official Japanese Dub of the US show?

Japanese Dubbed Power Rangers

>>23080
Honestly? Yeah... it kinda does.

>>23080

WHAT

>>23080
Oddly enough, I found Bulk and Skull dubs voices very appropriate.

>>23080
RECURSIVE LOOP. all we need now is fansubs

Also, tiny little japanese girl voice does not suit Kimberly at all.

Also, this thing.

Sesame Street - Super Morphin Mega Monsters

I have not found this week's episode yet

http://tubedubber.com/#dQta-fJobys:ZwXKz2CeHwY:0:100:0:0:true

Because someone had to do it.

>>23080
There was a Dino Thunder episode that poked fun at this, I believe.

>>23252
Oh yeah, with the incredibly Irish Japanese restaurant owner.

>>23251
There are points where that feels like it could work, but are JUST off the right mark.

>>23251
I'm actually really uneasy about what'll happen when Saban eventually gets their hands on this series.

>>23295
Pirate King George as their Zordon?

>>23293
Yeah.

But the flag is FUCKING PERFECT.

>>23295

It could go a few ways.

1) They'll keep the basic premise of these rangers able to turn into the old rangers but instead of becoming the first Sentai they turn into the Mighty Morphing Rangers with some new footage. This'll be a good excuse for Saban to make a lot of winks to the old series and possibly reference it directly with a return of some old, classic villains (possibly Lord Zed?)

2) Just Pirate rangers, which I find kinda unlikely as that'll negate like, HALF THE FUCKING STOCK FOOTAGE.

3) Samurai PR will bomb so hard it'll end PR for good.

... I just made myself sad.

>>23311
Which is why part of me hopes those morphing figures mean something more than just "we had these heads leftover from last year" A moment of reuniting making peace and forgiveness (if there is any truth to those stories) and then the three classics bitch slapping the monster as only they could.

>>23311
Well it would help if Nickelodeon would ACTUALLY PLAY THE FUCKING SERIES.
God, they're skipping around the episodes horrendously.

Would a Megazord be able to beat Godzilla?

>>23346
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/spoonyone/reviews/28870-the-deadliest-character-mechagodzilla-vs-megazord

Guess it depends on who is involved. If Green Ranger and the other supplemental Zord units go in then..someone is getting fucked.

>>23347
Also depends on what megazord. Some of those Zord combos in the later shows with like thirty zords look like the goddamn fourth of july when they attack. You know that's gonna mess a monster up.

>>23346
Almost any of the Zords can drive him away, it's not hard, but none of them could kill him, that's really what it comes down to with Godzilla, push him back or give him a target.

>>23347
That was nicely animated actually.

>>23346
The Zeo Zords Because they're the only ones that haven't been destroyed or recycled by Billy.

>>23353
Well Big D may or may not still be asleep in the bay.

He went back in time with Tommy's clone/great-great-grandfather.

>>23353
The Zeo Zords WERE just left alone. Huh. Forgot about that. The Astro Megaship MkII is still out there, too. And dude, you have no proof that Dragonzord ISN'T in the bay

>>23362
It was recycled to make Tommy's punching robot.

>>23365
LIES

>>23366

AND TITANUS WAS GUTTED TO MAKE THE TURBO ZORDS. THOSE CRAPPY FIRST ONES, NOT THE TRANSFORMING ONES.

>>23354
Didn't Spreeses get a giant ban from 4chan for saying it got scrapped for parts?

Hmmm Serpentera could still be used if they went with the plot line that the one faced later was actually a earlier version hence the size change and that Zed took the original.

>>23370
Yeah, 999 days or something like that.

>>23377
I thought that got blown up in Forever Red.

>>23408
Supposedly that could be taken as being a Earlier model of Zeds Zord since its scale was much smaller than it was shown as in the MMPR.

>LET'S TEAM UP
>Drop a Zord on the Monster
THAT'S FUCKING TEAM WORK

Is it true that a couple of PR seasons were actually more popular in Japan that their Sentai counterparts? IIRC, I read that the reason for it was that those particular Super Sentai seasons kinda sucked, but still, thats quite a feat.

>>23172
Well...
Power Rangers The Movie (Japan…

>>23508
Word is..pretty much yea. The Super Sentai stuff has never been a Kamen Rider or Ultraman level thing to the Japanese..its been around but not really..absorbed like the other two into being a bit more than a kiddie show. Power Rangers added something they wanted apparently..and part of that I think was make it more like Ultraman (team of fighters kicking the shit out of monsters without all the other baggage) Bet Space and Lost Galaxy are some of those top favorites.

No, he was a greasy idiot that shouldn't have been given the role of leader.

>>23843
Oh yeah, fucking Cole.
I always wanted to punch him on the face.

On the subject of production values, has anyone been put off by the Disney era sound mixing on the show?

It used to be sound effects consisted of that "whoosh" noise and hard metal CLANGS. But by the time Ninja Storm came around everything was PYOOM and high pitched chirping blip noises.

What was the reason behind the change? Legal issues? Standards and Practices?

HOPR Ninja Stooooooorm~

>>23898
About FUCKING time Lovehaug.
Seriously, I don't care what he says, he does a better job with this than with his "storylines" for AT4W.

>>23900
That's because he can't act, his gags/gimmicks aren't funny, and his "storylines" are centered around action scenes.

>>23901
he's just not as..animated as others.

>>23900
Ehhhhhhhhhhh... he explained why he doesn't do HoPR as much (he doesn't want them to become a fucking chore - bear in mind he's working through entire SERIES, as opposed to a few comic books like with At4W) and the storyline crap... he's gained the good sense to put that stuff at the very beginnings and ends of his videos, making it as skippable as that darn theme song.

>>23901
He can't write either or draw for that matter.

>>23907
Also his voice is annoying and sometimes even painful to listen to.

>>23916
And I dont like his hat!

>>23905
I remember that rant, but still, I consider him more talented with his HoPR than with any other thing he does(acting, writing comics). Except of course, the main purpose of AT4W.

>>23916
Be thankful that he doesn't sings. Yet.

>>23926
>Be thankful that he doesn't sing
He does.
One of his characters on his show is Johnny Finevoice and he sings.
However this is not the Bitching about Linkara thread it's the Power rangers thread.

>>23928
I know , I know Bard.
Back on topic, Ninja Storm was ok to me. Not the best, but neither the worst. And I liked Lothar's silly shenanigans, though their nieces where kinda annoying sometimes.
Oh yeah, also, NO FUCKING COLE.

Wait, Johnny Finevoice sngs? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>23935
I'm sorry, but the Zordon for that show was a CG HAMSTER. I'm aware that Hurricanger had a hamster as well, but at least it was a real hamster.

>>23952
I've seen worse.
A.k.a. that Zordon replacement alien woman that talked in rimes from Turbo.

>>23969
No. She never existed. That didn't happen. I don't know what you're talking about.

I had forgotten that the show had some fun insert songs.
I think the later seasons need more rock music during the fights.

>>24243

SHIT JUST GONNA GET REAL

>>24243

Spuh?! Actual, legit-sounding fighting advice? From Power Rangers?

This thread needs rapishares.

Hey look what I found

http://powerrangerplanet.webs.com/PRS.htm

Wow this show is a self-parody and probably wasn't intended to be

...when they don't stay too long at Pun Town, it really is quite a good show. They give monster fights the amount of time they deserve and still fit in tiny bits of plot.

I think they're propping up the Red Ranger too much. It's starting to make him unlikable.
The whole conflict of the episode was to have him defeat the Blue Ranger in order to save his life, then they should have shown the Blue Ranger actually beating him the first few times, to make it seem like there was some illusion of tension during the fight.

Also, that little bit at the end with them playing a board game with their zords was cute.

>>24367

Just as in the original show, you should not look for character development or human behavior anywhere except in Bulk.

>>24386
really that was the most interesting thing in the show was Bulk and Skull and their life journey. Hell the Adventures of Bulk in Space would be wild. Wouldn't be surprised if he had been an Ultraman for a while at least.

>>24400
If Saban wanted to, they could easily adapt Ultraman Max to American TV. It's light hearted, self contained, and the effects are recent enought that they won't look as dated.

OR, they could bring over the Ultra Galaxy series and market it as a the new Pokemon.
Gomora v.s. Ultraman Max in 2005

>>24421
I know that Mebius has all the baggage from all the showa era Ultra series, but I think that it could be another good option for Saban to adapt. It could even be a perfect introduction to the rest of the Utra Family and the old series.
Ultraman Mebius & Ultraman…

>>24422
Yeah but you remember what happened the last time that happened.
Masked Rider Warriors

>>24423
Yea lets just let Mask RiDER rest in piece. Course to be fair the Kamen Rider franchise wasn't really going anywhere for most the '90s so it was worth a shot. I think if it hadn't felt so "designed by committee" it wouldn't have been that bad.

Speaking of, how did Kamen Rider Dragon Knight turn out?

>>24429
Did really well ratings and won an Emmy and the toys sold okay. They still canned it before the final two episodes for some reason but it had a good run.

>>24423
Oh goddammit.
I never knew Masked Rider pulled out that shit (never saw that episode back then). But still, I know that Saban has learned from past mistakes. And also, Bunker has a valid point.
I remember that most of the budget Saban had at the time went to the Power Rangers leaving Masked Rider with a very low budget.

>>24437
what would be a good series to work the brand back again after Dragon Knight. Easiest answer would be Den-O since that is apparently their most accessible.

>>24447
Well, honestly, I'd pick Kabuto. Lots of riders, lots of footage, lots of toys to choose to market, a few to just cameo, and room for some actually good storytelling. Hell, if they're really looking for more toys, give the other riders hyper clock up forms and shit.

Really, if I were trying to do new series would be to start with two, that can be marketed easily and then try and make one of those definately marketable seasons every other year. So in Order, I'd go:
Kabuto
555
Hibiki (Plus, get real cocky and retcon Masked Rider as a show the guy in series used to watch, but was more of a Black RX feel show.)
Blade
Kuuga (Take the money you've earned from three series of marketing, and make your own clean up to date fight scenes. Keep the story as close as possible, but all the footage is American.)
Den-O
Agito
Kiva (I am not joking, if you're just using the fight footage, this shit could market VERY well.)
W
OOO
and then beyond...

Yes, I'd skip Decade, it relies on too much Showa nostalgia for it to work here.

>>24459
There's also the fact that he's pink. There's just no way to sell a pink protagonist to the makers of boys toys.

>>24468

They'd make him red.

>>24475
And Max Factory would make Rage Decade and versions of everyone from the show.

Wait, who?

>>24514

What's sad is I knew the song you set that to.

>>24611
Í think you posted the wrong link...

And speaking of Decade, It's a pity we'll never gonna see this on the show:
Attack Ride Rekka Daizantou

>>24613
Fixed.

>>24614
Yeah, that would be win as fuck, but short of getting a Decade series I don't see how they could do it. Unless....maybe, (and there's no way it would ever, ever happen since they'd need almost entirely original footage to do it) they could introduce him as a Phantom Ranger type character. Y'know, shows up, helps out, and then fucks off to parts unknown.

>>24618
So roughly the same setup as Decade series.

>>24514
This is the best thing ever.

>>No Pwer Rangers thread?

were you surprised

>>24686
We had 5 before, so yeah his reaction was unsurprising.

Why would you think he would be surprised?

>>24686
Welp, that was just when we began to use the new board and there was no PR thread at sight.

Welp, that red ranger fight in the latest episode was pretty fucking great. And the puns are on the decline.

Saban wanted to dub Super Sentai originally. But Ultraman Tiega pretty much proved that kids only really like American Actors so yea. Not really that surprised.

>>25757
Judd Lynn doesn't work on the show any more, he was one of the key figureheads for differentiating from the source material. And from what I've read, Jonathan Tzachor is kind of a weeaboo for the sentai version.

>>25768
Oh yeah, Tzachor is a producer for the series.
That explains it.
This means we'll probably get a femeale red ranger!

Okay why does this seem to work so well? Is it because the tone is more towards the humorous side of things?

This one took a while.

He's smart and generally accurate even if he does miss the point sometimes, but he has no clue how to put together an interesting analysis. BREVITY.

When's Samurai coming back? I can't wait for the shocking revelation that Jayden's actually a woman.

>>27414
Yeah, I'm still wondering why there aren't new episodes.
I want my red ranger woman already Saban!

>>27416

And it's about time they did that, too. Granted, they're limited by Sentai footage so a female leader where Japan didn't have one would be tricky. And the Alien Rangers had a female leader, and the SPD A Squard had a female leader, and Time Force was pretty much led by the Pink Ranger.... But still!

Oh and they could use a gay ranger for karmic balance of what they put Yost through.

>>27418
I believe the Blue Ranger from the new Pirate themed series will fill that slot...HEY DAVID!!!

I'm surprised at how much I absolutely loved RPM. I've been rewatching it and I'm pleasantly shocked at how much better than previous disney seasons it is

>>27420
Bunker. have you seen Gokaiger? If anybody's gonna gay there it's Green or Silver.

Nah Just going on what I heard back before it started.. plus blue reminds me a little of Kaylo/Venus from the Crank Series.

But seeing some footage I can agree that Silver would be a great prospect.

>>27437
Dude. Watch Gokaiger. Seriously. Do it. You will not regret a single moment. except possibly for when silver joins because seriously, fuck that guy.

>>27462
Where can one find dubs?

>>27463
>dubs of live action stuff.

>>27463
I bet you'd watch dubs of Kurosawa too.

>>27463
Dubs unfortunately do not exist, but if you don't mind reading subtitles there's a number of groups fansubbing it. Personally, I like tvnihon, but they aren't the fastest group.

>>27467
I did mean subs I just mistyped. Which group has the best sub of it at the moment?

>>27462

GokaiSilver is a fucking nerd.

BUT THATS COOL.

We're DOWN with nerds.

Also, I tend to like Over-time cause fuck waiting around.

>>27473
Gokaisilver annoys the hell out of me and i hope he develops out of it. Also, over time might be fast, but I prefer to wait for the slightly better cleaner and better grammar of tvnihon though it's really just a question of taste.

>>27469
http://over-ti.me/
Over-time has the best Gokaiger subs around.
TV Nihon are quite slow at the moment.

HAY GUIS IS THIS THE YELLOW RANG-WHOOPS EXCUSE ME. IS THIS LADY GOKAI YELLOW FROM GOKAIGER?

>>27465
I would. Why wouldn't I? I really hate you fucking weaboos.

>>27638
I.. I think it might be. I'd be more surprised, but Ichimichi Mao is a self professed meganerd, so her doing some kind of Yu-Gi-Oh promotion makes perfect sense.

>>27656
Live action should never be dubbed. Ever. Doesn't matter what the original language is.

>>27659
>Yu-Gi-Oh
Heheehee
>>27659
it has nothing to do with GLORIOUS NIPPON and everything to do with the fact it looks and sounds wrong.

Today I learned this is a thing.

ゴゴパワアレンジャア…

I....kinda dig Gokaiger. I don't know what to say. The scale of it is very appealing, can't wait for the american version to come up.

They could use the old suits in the US version by saying they were ranger teams on other planets. The original war between Zordon and Rita/Zedd/etc went on for an unspecified time, who knows how many teams he had to make.

As an added bonus, Zordon had a human body at one point, right? Who's to say he didn't have his own ranger power? One that took power from every color in the morphing grid at the same time, perhaps?

>>27847
We saw him in his prime in that one brief clip grabbing a mandrake looking thing with a whip. He looked very Lawrence of Arabia. They've been kicking the idea around of reviving him at some point. Maybe work him into the next series.

>>27847
what about the powers that were destroyed

or from the future

making the other teams from space doesn't work if they have to introduce and make them important enough for their powers to be inherited in one episode

ok wait

what if they make gokaiger english be like the first in universe ranger team

and they have to go through time to get future powers

no that's dumb

what if just a reboot and make all the ranger powers come from different earth like planets

then it'd be just like oh mmpr planet and spd planet

and they jsut have to find the powers hidden on it

god i just wish i knew what they were thinkign about this it's a complicated situation

i think they should just take advantage of the year they got and go from goseiger straight to whatever's after gokaiger

>>27854

I don't know enough about Sentai but I'm betting several powers were "destroyed" at the time gokaiger started. They got revived in time for the Big War.

As for introducing retro powers, gokaiger tends not to elaborate either. The teams from newer seasons get special episodes to themselves because kids would actually recognize them. Carranger got their own episode but they're a special case. For the old teams, their method is "here's a old team, here's how they're slightly different from the others". And that's all they need.

The trickiest thing I can see coming up is how to incorporate RPM. It was a recent team, but it was set in a post-apocalypse, and no kids actually watched it. They could probably get away with saying it was set in the future. Or an alternate dimension. Who cares, Power Rangers science is so soft it's practically vapor.

>>27847
>AHHH! AFTER TEN THOUSAND YEARS I'M FREE! IT'S TIME TO RESCUE EARTH!

>>27855
ok but i think that works only because those series have actually happened in sentai

if you just straight up introduce 15 new teams that not only take away time from the main team but from the teams you remember when you were younger, or have heard about from getting into the show, a ton of people who aren't aware of sentai will start complaining

but yeah alright i guess their target audience right now won't know who any past team is past maybe mystic force or something

depends who they decide to market to

maybe they could do different dimensions like kamen rider decade to get around all the series that wouldn't fit

>>27859
I think that would work, MMPR had plenty of that kinda stuff anyway and it would open up for a few Forever Red type moments. Get back to the classic feeling. Maybe have a few reunions at least Tommy giving Dragon Zord a proper send off instead of the possibly used for spare parts.

>>27847
There was a thread on /m/ about a Gokaiger adaptaion. I'm paraphrasing of course, but it was something like this.

The Gokaiger Rangers aren't actually from Earth, they're from a different planet the bad guys destroyed, who have been going aronud conquering worlds and capturing or killing Ranger Teams. Anyway, the team docked on Earth, not realizing it's the heart of the Morphing Grid. Bad guys follow them there, find out where they are, and... basically win. Earth is dead, and so is the Morphing Grid. But then that robot parrot appears, now an animated shard of the grid's heart. It saves a few side characters, Bulk, Spike, and some other third or fourth person, and creates the other Ranger Keys out of the Grid's Memory, a feature that this Pirate-themed Ranger system didn't originally have, and grants them about a year's juice for their whole system.

Apparently on the OTHER side of the universe is a planet of riches and energy, hidden away. And in it is the power needed to basically rebuild the planet in seconds, and bring everyone back. And so they have a year to get to that point, with the bad guys on their tail.

They stop off in some planets and meet up with the Rangers teams we didn't get to see, as well as have moments that allow them to access greater memories from the keys for the zord features.

Bulk and Spike are also put in a situation completely reversed to the one they've normally been in. They used to always be searching for the identities of the Power Rangers, but now they know them on a first name basis, but really have no one to tell.

>>27862
Sounds like a pretty good way to deal with that problem of "foreign" Rangers and also bring Zordon back as a climax to the series.

http://www.jefusion.com/2011/07/saban-brands-registers-power-rider.html
Hmm...

>>27882
I cannot think of what they're going to use the name for, but considering the fallout from the last time they got their hands on a Kamen Rider, I doubt it's gonna be that.

As a fan of Power Rangers, I will say that this article amused me on a multitude of levels: http://gregxb.blogspot.com/2010/03/teenagers-with-attitude.html

>>27882
Holy fucking shit if it is what we're all thinking then I can't wait goddamn

>>27889
Hmmm power to me means Tech so Faiz or Kabuto being the high possibilities makes sense. I think he can actually do it right this time.

>>27862
>Bulk and Spike are also put in a situation completely reversed to the one they've normally been in. They used to always be searching for the identities of the Power Rangers, but now they know them on a first name basis, but really have no one to tell.

If that part's true, I'll watch it.

Heh Watching Fourze I think he might actually be considering that one School setting with a group of teenagers with attitude fighting an enemy from the moon.

So I've been rewatching nearly ALL of the series with my younger cousin and jeez, I forgot how much I hated Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, and a majority of the Disney-era series. RPM, however, I still find awesome. I happy to say that she loves PRiS though. I don't mind watching re-runs of that over and over

I think the Disney stuff is fairly inferior too, but the hatred it receives feels unwarranted. To like Power Rangers you have to be willing to ignore a lot of shittiness. The Disney shittiness is just a different flavor of shit. Trade the atrocious dialogue, overdone melodrama and boring-ass faux orchestrated fight music for fight scenes cranked out by assembly line (HEEEEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!), cringeworthy theme music and universal kiwi accents. If you must hate, focus it on Jungle Fury. Mystic Force had THIS guy, for crying out loud!

Also, this dude was Lord Zedd levels of scary.

>>29363
as said if he does go for it Fourze would be a great place to start since its so similar to the base plot of MMPR.

>>29363

Wow, five whole episodes. Don't go overboard, Saban.

Maybe they ARE intending to just skip the pirate season...

>>29381
>Maybe they ARE intending to just skip the pirate season...
I will CHOKE A BITCH.

>>29381
>>29417
Don't forget before Gokaiger is Goseiger, the angelic season.

So, here's something. They rerun the original show, so kids are familiar with the OG. If the do indeed cover the pirate rangers and dig deep into ranger lore, surely several episodes will be about the Morphins. How do they address the Trini issue? On the one hand I don't know if this is a show that's capable of being respectful in that kind of a situation, but on the other hand just ignoring it completely might not be the way to go.

What am I saying, a Morphin reunion episode would hit a giant snag even without Trini. They probably won't bother, just do something with Tommy and Adam.

>>29446
They cans still use Aisha. But yeah, a reunion episode is going to be hell to plan. Let's hope they pull it off.

...Thuy Trang was pretty dang cute. And there's no way around it, she's a unique face for TV. 99% of Ranger actors fall into obscurity and I'm happier for it (they're just not any good), but losing Trini still bums me out. She was probably destined for better roles.

>>29460
Yea its a strange thing that both PR and SS share in that regard often kinda fading after their run while Riders tend to last a bit longer. Heck I'm just thrilled that it never stopped being fun for Bulk and Skull and they are pretty cool with their lot but its sad with all that other bad blood since...they were teenagers being dicks like teens. Oh also TRU is starting to stock Figuarts and has Red and Gold in their stores now. Hopes for full stocks in the future of both gear and figures for upcoming series are high.

>>99% of Ranger actors fall into obscurity and I'm happier for it (they're just not any good),

You shut the hell up.

>>29510

Alright, that was harsh. Of the 99% that fall into obscurity... 70% deserve it.

Milo Cawthorne in particular could probably make it big in the States. That kind of geeky charm is in right now and he pulls it off really well, ie I didn't want to punch him like the Scott Pilgrim guy.

>>29466

Well there's the "bad blood" of being attractive, naive twenty-somethings with marginal acting talent being exploited by a giant kids entertainment juggernaut, and then there's the stuff Yost got put through. The 90's were a different time for gays I guess, because DAMN.

>>29513
Saban was a royal high bastard during the early days and it spread to all them and Yost just happened to be on the bottom of that ragepile.

>>29519

Mind telling me what happened to this Yost guy? I think I heard this somewhere before...

>>29530
How about if I let him tell you.

Totally understandable. Kiwis and all that. Though considering how long they've been sitting on this season I wonder if "they weren't available" is valid...

And let's face it, do you really want to see the RPM rangers reading lines from a Samurai script for very long?

I mean, all things being equal, if Ziggy actually talked to the Samurai rangers he'd eventually go "Why are you talking like that?! No human talks like that!"

Soooo, the gokaiger movie raw is out.

The sheer mass of rangers on screen during the big fights makes things pretty ADHD. It was apparently the longest Sentai movie yet, and the fights still seemed to go by too fast with mob after mob of simulacrum rangers exploding every second with no sense of impact or difficulty. And, naturally, they were limited to costumes that haven't rotted away yet, since lord knows spending actual money is kryptonite to this franchise. I'm bitter over the lack of Ninjor okay >:|

Still, loved it! It was an acid trip from start to finish and any movie in which the Big Bad must be killed five times is a win in my book.

http://orendsrange.blogspot.com/2011/11/power-rangers-2013-casting-canceled.html
Hmmm, what do you have in mind Saban?

>>30320
In related news, OT just released the Subbed version of the first movie (because there are actually three).

>>30384
Wait, three versions?

>>30415
No, three movies.

http://morphinlegacy.tumblr.com/
Fancy place with interesting PR stuff.

>>30416
Oooh, I got it.

>>30419

¡Fantastico!

http://orendsrange.blogspot.com/2011/11/clash-of-red-rangers-official-images.html

>>30497

So...Just the red ranger, and just his voice.

...It's more than Wild Force got!

Fuckit, Red Ranger's on a horse. I'll watch it.

>>30505
>....It's more than Wild Force got!
...how?

>>30518

Disregarding their own season, they didn't get to return for a Ninja Storm crossover, when there was a similar...ocean between seasons.

Well that was... adequate! The Zord part was a little wtf but they did the best they could with the limited amount of kiwis they had.

It did spoil the battlizer though. Surely that wasn't its intended introduction, the way they've built up all the zords and whatnot.

Consider Disney's Dino/SPD meetup. Tommy wasn't available, but they put him in the show anyway, only in a suit, and with a different voice.

Saban gave it a good shot, especially considering how different RPM was from the rest of the franchise. And they didn't use their magic editorially-enforced Terrible Writing to turn RPM Red into a complete retard like the others....much. The fact that he didn't participate in the last two monster encounters because his CAR BROKE DOWN was a little dumb.

>>30528
Ohh...I thought you meant Forever Red.

>>30543
>because his CAR BROKE DOWN was a little dumb.
My question is...why was he driving a 1996 Mustang? A 15 year old car? Really? That....confused me.

Really interested how Saban will do this series which looks to be just a Three Person Team. Also, according to those that can read Japanese Transformation Call is actually "Its Morphing Time." According to the Toy descriptions.

>>30618

It's not going to be just a three person team, that would be crazy. Fewer toys to sell.

>>30620
Well they may get two Anti Rangers that become allies or two rangers added to the crew to increase the firepower to knock the team up to five plus the sixth around episode 12 but from the zords and the keys being shown right now its just the three as the start.

These guys get morpher and shades combo. Skipping Pirate Rangers figures and looking forward to Spec Ops Bounty rangers

So, yeah.

>>30856
Leonard and Starburns are Bulk and Skull.
Pierce is Zordon.
Shirley is Ernie from Ernie's Milkshakes.
Dean Pelton is Rita Repulsa.

Fucking amerifags can't come up with their own shows so they steal Tv from Japan.

>>31902

I don't know about the newer shit, but the first couple of seasons were greater than halfway original content. In fact, I give the producers an enormous amount of credit because they literally had to construct feasible plotlines (accessable to American preteens of the 90's) AROUND the imported footage, blending it together so seamlessly and believably that most of us kids had no freaking idea it was made that way. That had to have been a royal pain in the ass, compared to making something 100% original.

>>31891
This is the best thing I've ever read.

After RPM, Samurai feels bad.

>>31951

Well...
That's because Samurai kinda is bad...

If by "bad" you mean "bad, but making a million dollars a second" then yes, Samurai is downright shitty.

It's a necessary evil so the show can be good later. Or would you rather have the franchise canceled?

>>31963
Can't it always be awesome and have Kamer Rider, Ultraman, and Some padding 90's anime adaptations which are also awesome run co-currently as a Superhero Block every Saturday Morning?

>>31964
We had that chance back in 2000 when Kuuga came out. But Masked Rider'd left a bad taste in peoples mouths, so nothing came of it.

The Hub Should pick up Ultra Galaxy or Mebius or something. Power Rangers-ness and collectible monsters sounds like a winning formula.

>>31968
drop them a line and ask about foreign licenses like what had been done on Fox Kids (Mystic Knights and Beetleborgs are still the shit IMO) Its a heck of an undertaking and with Saban and company working with Nick now..I'm not saying its impossible but it could be done. Them Aquabats fellas from what I saw with those old pilots seem to have a handle on that old show fighting style. I'd sat if Aquabats show gets a good following and they are able to start expanding the live action department..I'd say it would have a good shot.

>>31974
Mystic Knights was American.

>>31976
Completely? Huh...well isn't that something. Really need more stuff like that then.

Ok, so I have a question, because I feel like someone here might know for some reason?

How do the actors use their scripts in these shows? Like, do they just go line for line? Or is there some ad-libbing encouraged? Is that even a way to act? I don't know anything about acting, or how these shows are put together behind the scenes, but I'm curious if everything is up to the writers in Power Rangers or if the actors ad-lib or something.

>>32298

It's a production to production deal I'd imagine. Some productions might demand actors stick rigidly to their lines and dialogue, while others might decide "Hey. He said something funny! Let's keep that in there."

It might also have something to do with the number of cuts they can afford. The different reading of the same line. How people emote, etc. Really all acting is ad-libbed to an extent since it's doubtful any actor can convey the EXACT emotion/feeling in the director/writer's head when they're analyzing the script. They can obviously do a good job but still.

Nice!

PR Super Samurai - The Bullzor…
Power Rangers: Super Samurai -…
So, this happened.

Here's something that's been on my mind for awhile. How much of Power Rangers is American and how much of it is the original Japanese show? And is the Aquabats! Supershow! the first all-American sentai show?

(My knowledge of sentai is essentially limited to the original Power Rangers and a little Kamen Rider OOO, so I apologize in advance if it's a dumb question.)

What do you think?

You know, I was thinking only the other day how Saban would do the Zyuranger episode of Gokaiger. This is some shitty writefagging I did an hour ago on regular /co/. They weren't impressed, but tell me what you think.

Tommy/Jason/Zack/whoever: "So... you're the new Rangers."
"Yes, sir"
"You've got some big shoes to fill..."
"We know"
"... but I know you'll do great"
"Thank you. Was it... weird, seeing..."
"All of you in action? Yeah. But it was good. reminded me of... of all the good times we had."

Huh. Looks like they're using the pirate concept of changing into other rangers.

Except they're not pirates.

... meh. I can dig it.

>>35625
I would watch the fuck out of Pirate Rangers. Fighting Krakens and Sirens and shit.

>>35633
Well, if Megaforce really is taking Gokai's schtick, then I suppose the series that actually uses the Gokai team will probably be a straight up Pirate series. Also, I guess they're going to have to do a good deal of filming, considering just how much Gokaiger stuck to that schtick. Either that or battles are going to be ridiculously short.

>>35710
Megaforce Season 1 will be Goseiger. Season 2 will be Gokaiger and the Ranger War. This is confirmed.

Ah, okay. So I guess they'll just carry over to the next set of powers and zords, much like MMPR transitioned into Zeo...

Really liking Akiba, the whole notion of Delusion Fighting I think could be adapted very well to some kinda Sleep Fighting Ranger bit.
