Ah Power Rangers how I used to love MMPR until they got red of Tommy I always thought he was the coolest especialy the evil green rangers but after he left it should've ended

*Mars-Chan* · 09-04-2003, 04:54 PM

YES!! I agree with Slash totally!! Shoulda ended right then and there.

Not too long ago (a few months ago) I just happened to turn on the tv and I saw Power Rangers come on (I think it was the Wild Force season). They brought back all of the red Power Rangers there ever were, so there were about 10 red power rangers in different uniforms of red fighting villains (I forget what the plot was). Did anyone happen to see that?

I hope they return the show back to how it was. You guys should really watch the "good" seasons! Power Rangers In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, and Wild Force these seaons had A lot more plot and were a lot less goofy!

*Voltron* · 09-04-2003, 10:30 PM

The only reason I watched the show was because there was no plot and was too goofy to be believable.

Forever Red- theres atopic on here some where (yes jason originated it too)
It was used to mark the 10 season anniversy. A great ep for nastalgia proposse.
And it had some really great lines

"Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was trapped inside a pizza!"- TJ (turbo red)

And for my money everything after space is the end of teh good seasons

MMPR = HACK.

- a buncha multicolored-costumed teens who have power of mechanical vehicular animals which can assemble together to make a huge conglomerate sword-wielding robot to the background of assemblage animations? Nope, that's never been done. Voltron, what's that?

- Let's see...
"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". Adj-Adj-Adj-Noun. 8 syllables. About a group of teens who practice martial arts and fight baddies.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Adj-Adj-Adj-Noun. 8 syllables. About a group of teens who practice martial arts and fight baddies.

MMPR is just the US name for the series. In Japan the PR season are totally diffrent shows with the only relation being costumes and mecha.

Voltron isn't even the original show to do something like that.

you're right, it sure isn't, considering all the mecha stuff in Nihon.

the point stands, though, that the similarity is uncanny.

*That Matt Guy* · 09-07-2003, 08:46 PM

Something tells me the Jap..anese version is worse than the US.

Power Rangers is based on Sentai, a Japanese show that has been running since the 1970's. It predates GoLion(Voltron) which didn't launch until the early 80's, plus the zords(mecha) were real models (which is pretty difficult to do) and not animation. Both shows were made by Toei, however Sentai was first.

Again the lengthly title originates from the Japanese show where each season has a set of rangers on a mission. For example the first Sentai was called "Himitsu Sentai Goranger" and later on we got "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" which came from "Kyoryuu Sentai Zyuranger" . The concept of a group of teens who practise martials arts and fight bad guys was again in Power Rangers origin show, Sentai, which predates Ninja Turtles by over a decade.

oh yeah

it was funny when they had the big thing after they all combined together, and the background was real cheap, like cardboard boxes

*Mars-Chan* · 09-08-2003, 02:00 PM

LOL!!!

U2WaTCHer · 09-08-2003, 07:36 PM

what ever happened to zedd and reta and what happened to the white ranger ? and what is he doing and is he coming back? I never really watched it but just was curious...

what was the point again of geting big and killing the bad guys? why get big lol

~~Leo656~~ · 09-08-2003, 07:44 PM

I always wondered why, if all they had to do to defeat ANY bad guy that came along was just join the zords together and whup some ass, why the HECK didn't they just do that in the beginning instead of waiting for some giant rocking horse with an inflatable rubber squid for a head to destroy half of Angel Grove before actually DOING something about it?

Answer: Cuz then it would be a 9-minute show and it's harder to sell toys (or show Amy Jo Johnson's butt in tight pink shorts) that way.

U2WaTCHer · 09-08-2003, 07:48 PM

what happened to zordon or zed and reta?

*That Matt Guy* · 09-08-2003, 07:48 PM

I always wondered why Rita only sent one monster at a time to fight the rangers. If she had sent like 80 monsters at once then she would have crushed Zordon and pals.

I don't know exactly. I guess they need new villains every season, but I don't know if I ever saw the ending. In the 3rd or 4th season, the opening music/film showed Zordon in his hyper-lock chamber or whatever, surrounded by a bunch of stupid-looking villains trying to pull down a cover or whatever. The only reason I ever watched some of that season was to discover what happened to Zordon, but I didn't get to see it.

Drak Spertor (looked like the monster from the 2nd movie), the guy who controls all the other bad guys, caught Zordon after he left Turbo, and impressioned him in a tube that was suppose to drain his powers or something. On the orders of Zordon Space Red distroyed the tube killing Zordon adn realesing his energy throught out the universe distorying all the monsters that were attacking the various planets.
Only 4 badguys survived and became humanoid-Rite, Zedd, Divatox and Astronima/Karone
Rita and Zedd them selves ended up looking like preppies
Diva looked like teh lady in white from Turbo (both sere the same actress)

As for white- he left during the second half of Turbo, but came back for Forever Red during Wild force. I think hes married and has a school. There was major talk of him coming back for dino Force next season as a ranger due to a leak that one of the rangers was going to be called Tommy Oliver, but its largly believe that either this is false or they are just reusing the name. But due to the approching 500 ep there is speculation that he may appear but its mostly just fan specultion and no proff

The original Tommy in next years Dino Thunder thing started up when this press sheet was scanned and posted at Rangerboard.com:
http://www.rangerboard.com/showthrea...threadid=17677

Soon after it was posted, Doug Sloan, the Executive Producer of Ninja Storm (who posts at Rangerboard as NSbigcheese) said that although the sheet was real the info about Tommy was a 'huge mistake'.

Since then the President of the Official Jason David Frank club confirmed that Disney did offer him the part in Dino Thunder but he was reluctant to do it, (since it would mean moving to New Zealand to work with Village Roadshow). However he has until the end of the month to decide. A lot of fans think that the executive producer said it was mistake because he didn't want to get fans hopes up in case it didn't happen. It still probably won't happen but it's nice to see they are still trying to get Tommy back.

It's mentioned briefly on his official site:

The site also has exclusive behinds the pics from Forever Red in case you haven't seen them:
