Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread

[Hero]

Light-Zord... Basically DaiGoyou lobotomized of all character.

Gold Ranger's cool sidekick from Shinkenger has had a disappointing translation here.

Starting to enjoy Samurai a lot less. I hope whatever is around the corner is so much better.

Some have already given up hope next year will be better based on who's still producing it. I mean, when the script consultant, who's a FAN of the show, can't get any continuity nods past him, think about what it'll be like for a whole season of potential fanservice.

You and everyone else and their grandmother.

As for these DVDs, Shout Factory's agreement only covers the 1993-2009 run. So that means no MMPR season 1 reversioned.

FW TMNT's distributor Lionsgate have picked up the distribution rights to Samurai. The first two volumes of the season will be released on June 19th

Seems they'll be a lot of extras on the Samurai DVDs too

Also, check out this guy...he's reportedly the consultant for the SF DVD releases..

There's been talk that the next series will either be Goseiger or go straight to Gokaiger which would be perfect for the 20th anniversary. The Goseiger suits do somewhat resemble the Zyuranger (MMPR) suits but I really don't like the white pants.

Pardon me if this has been asked before but I don't wanna sift through 44 pages to look, but does anyone know what some of the former cast of MMPR are doing lately?

I know Amy Jo Johnsone's on Flashpoint and sadly Trini's passed away, but what about the others?

This is the most recent information I could find, although it comes from 2010.

Very cool! Thanks for this

[Shreddhead]

So this is my first post in this thread, so i apologize if anything i say has been previously stated (which im sure most of it has). But i of course grew up with the original Mighty Mophin Power Rangers being a major influence on me. When my younger sister was born (1994) i went to the hospital in a Red Ranger halloween costume to visit her and my mother... if i can find pictures ill post them. I watched devotedly until around the time of the first movie, when a lot of the cast began to change. My last true memories were of the "ninja" power ranger costumes. Since then Ive followed Linkara's History of the Power Rangers found here: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...s/linkara/hopr

Seeing these videos brought back a lot of memories, and it was really fun to see where the series had continued from when i left off. I can still watch episodes form the original cast and find myself neck deep in complete nostalgia, and utter bliss. This show meant a lot to me as a kid ( as im sure it did to a lot of you) and i love seeing the huge impact it made on everyone.


On a side note, one of the most prominent memories i have is the "violence" associated with the show. I remember this and TMNT being the main target for many groups concerned with the violent impact they had on kids. Tho i could never truly understand it (and still dont to this day) These shows took a lot of heat for teaching kids how to pretend fight amongst themselves. But whatever, it was a hell of a lot of fun

Nice story dude, touching. Thanks for sharing

Has JDF's second pro fight ever been rescheduled? Its been over 8 months since it was cancelled a second time. I was hoping one of you would have found something. My monthly web search came up with nothing again.

[TheCanadiandrome]

would love to see JDF fight!

For some reason, that made me think of Power Morphicon, a Power Rangers convention being held in Pasadena, California in August, from the 17th to the 19th. It's the third go-around (the first was in 2007 and the second in 2010), and the information about it is in the link below.

Now although you won't be seeing JDF fighting there, you'll at least get to meet him. I won't be going, but perhaps there's still time to register if any of you might be interested, and I'm sure you will be.

cuz pris did teamup with nt:tnm in the eps "save our ship" and "shell shocked"

speaking of nt:tnm, shout factory has the rights to release nt:tnm on dvd so we may finally after all this time since the original run on fox kids, have the unedited u.s. airings and get rid of those edited uk/aussie dvdrips! i know its on netflix but i don't have the money for it.

In all irony that was the last episode of Power Rangers I ever watched upset with the way the turtles were portrayed and could not stand Andros with no Tommy or Billy there to make up for his extreme annoyance. Both Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers had seen better days.

The Psycho Rangers Saga and Countdown to Destruction were amazing. Tommy came back in Forever Red and Dino Thunder. Adam came back in the PRIS ep "Always A Chance" and the PROO 2pter "Once A Ranger". They're doing a 20th anniversary season next yr and a reworking of 199 grand hero battle which featured every sentai team up to that point only with MMPR-Samurai no gosienger.
