Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread

[sdp]

So how many returning rangers do we have? Will we get another Megaforce "oh yeah it's them" or will they get some actual lines like in Forever Red and once a ranger?

The Power Rangers movie will be available on digital HD on June 13th. Two weeks later on the 27th, the movie will get released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Blu-ray.

Target will have an exclusive version of the Blu-ray copy, but the details are not yet known. They'll probably have an extra disc of bonus features or some special packaging.

Very good. Now I just need to know the special features.

That BR/DVD cover is very colorful, just as a I'd expect from Power Rangers to have, it looks really nice. Maybe they should've used that for marketing instead of the angsty look they went for?

[Shark_Blade]

Wow that cover is really pretty, should've used that in the promo tbh.
Could've beaten Beauty & the Beast a notch or two.

I'm still pissed that they haven't released the first classic movie on Bluray.

She's initially sealed away in the "dumpster" on a small planetoid, which MMPR used as the moon. As with MMPR, she is on the moon, except for the finale. Then in the finale, she eventually loses her powers after her resurrected son dies. She's sealed away in an urn by Megazord/Daizyujin, along with her underlings and the urn is sent off into space. The counterparts for Goldar and Scorpina also have a baby at the end of Zyuranger.

Special 25th anniversary T-Shirt distributed to cast and crew which seems to confirm the anniversary is the tenth episode of the Super Ninja Steel season

Spoiler:

I think the production team are hoping that Nick decide to hold off premature hiatuses until episode 10 airs, because then the anniversary special could serve as a mid-season finale

Mystic Force comes out in three weeks, but Operation Overdrive is scheduled for release on August 8th.

Then Megaranger could come out as early as August 10th for those who preorder, if Shout! Factory would offer it early to those who do from their site.

So all that's left is Jungle Fury and R.P.M. Perhaps they could release both later this year. Jungle Fury in October and R.P.M. in December, and they're all done.

Assuming Toei allows the more recent stuff to be released in America.

That's a good point.

They'll get there. Toei just allows Shout! Factory the rights to each Sentai little by little. The sales of one set determines whether they get to do a set for the Sentai that follows.

Was there ever a clear second-in-command and how do sixth rangers fall into that? I always saw MMPR Green as second-in-command to MMPR Red. Sixth Rangers importance seems to olace thrm in the bumber two spot yet are not there for a third or more of the series. Zack gives one order to the other three to fire at putties after Red and Green give the blasters to them and is the only example of him doing anything of commanding in my memory. I read that the Zeo numbering is meaningless while SPD it means a pecking order. Is there a second-in-command really in Sentai but inconsistent in American adaptation?

[sdp]

Black tends to be the second in command in sentai which is why PRs might have that IIRC but I could be wrong. Yeah Zack seemed to be second in command and in SPD it was by #rank. I think in TimeForce Pink was ranked higher than red. And yes usually sixth ranger when they appear are the defacto second in command. Green Ranger was never second in command officially but I guess it could be seen that way.

So in most cases the sixth rangers take second-in-command post away from another individual, not necessarily,a certain color like Red is first. It just happens and the original seconds don't care.

There was the MMPR episode, "On Fins and Needles", where Tommy wanted to replace Jason as leader, albeit under the influence of a spell.
