Thanks for sharing. I thought that his health was improving. Pass along anything additionally released. I may not be a PR but anymore, but I loved Lord Zedd to this day and I appreciate his work with Digimon Adventure and in general. Thanks, for the childhood impact, Mr. Axelrod.

He was definitely one of the best voice actors the series ever had. R.I.P.

But yeah, you have some places like

Spoiler:

Allio, I thought we should carry it over here. Are those the locations from Sentai for the Zyu season or the whole series? A lot of the images look unfamiliar, but perhaps it is because MMPR is more of a nostalgia trip not something that I extensively followed.

One thing I wondered about filming Sentai is if they tried to set scenes that could be international not obviously Japan because of the architecture due to it being the parent of the Power Rangers footage.

Edit: the second to last one, that is where they fought Primator.

*Allio* · 09-21-2019, 09:50 AM

I want to say a couple of them a bit more newer (as new as compared to Zyuranger) Cause I don't remember stuff like the warehouse appearing in Zyuranger.

Fomer VR Troopers star Sarah Brown, who also had a guest stint in Power Rangers Zeo, has spoken out about sexual abuse she endured while working for Saban (it should also be noted Shuki Levi, who abused her, also fathered her child)

*ranger_scout* · 09-24-2019, 06:49 PM

If what she's saying is true, then it wouldn't surprise me. The behind-the-scenes drama that took place during these Saban shows makes her story seem plausible.

*Allio* · 10-01-2019, 04:52 PM

We got the title for the next sentai.

Mashin Sentai Kirameiger

Mashin translates to Demon Advancing, but it can be read as "Machine." so possibly car themed, could even be Animal car themed like Go-ONger/RPM.

I'm sure that to this day everyone at Lionsgate and Saban were probably thinking this when a Disney movie dominated the month of March 2017 at the box office.

It could have been up against 2016 Ghostbusters and still failed.

The summer of 2017 was a lackluster season at the box office. Maybe that would've been a better time to release it. However, if that had happened Naomi Scott probably wouldn't have been cast as Jasmine in Aladdin because they were still casting for the movie around that time and she would?€™ve been promoting Power Rangers and wouldn't have had time to audition.

I really did feel like a kid again watching Beauty and the Beast. Even more so when I saw it in the same IMAX theater where I saw the 2002 re-release of the original. Also lots of people, including myself, were happy to see an actress they grew up with in a hugely popular film series play a Disney Princess.

Power Rangers tried to take an approach that Tim Burton's Batman films did. They wanted to stay clear of a campy superhero series, like Burton who didn't love a popular 1960s TV show starring Adam West, and do something much more serious. Audiences also already had two action-packed dramatic movies, Logan and Kong Skull Island, during that month and a feel good musical fairy tale was what they needed. Families also had the animated hits The Lego Batman Movie and The Boss Baby as alternatives.

Ah yes, there's nothing more serious than a two hour Krispy Creme ad.

*Allio* · 10-03-2019, 11:08 PM

Could you imagine doing a power rangers movie and literally take away the entire aesthetic that people like about the film?

Imagine going from any of these great re imagined designs

To these.

She did an interview with a podcast. It's on her Twitter page. The stories she tells are truly some of the most horrific and painful I've ever heard...That's all I have to say.

*MikeandRaph87* · 10-05-2019, 12:45 PM

I was always creeped out about the age difference between her and Levi and found it odd they never married but were together for a few years even having a child. It seems like she was a look-alike of his ex-wife and young and naive enough to ignore it as a way of getting her break before it sank in and she left him. Glad to see the female VR Trooper turned Soap star is speaking up and hopefully she can find a solid second career that can make her happy.

*Allio* · 10-10-2019, 11:39 PM

and the Power Rangers The Psycho Path came out.

It was a decent comic, but it was completely bogged down by the psycho rangers
