Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread

[sdp]

I haven't checked rangerboard, what's the general consensus or your personal opinions?

I guess this means the end of sentai adaptations? Will Hasbro understand the cool things from sentai that makes power rangers cool or will they only do MMPR..

RB's consensus appears to be one of mild concern, but also excitement and an "about time" mentality as they feel the show's hit a creative dead end, some are still hesitant to believe the Sentai adaptations will come to a total end though.

I feel they can make money for years using two decades worth of old concepts and designs, not just MMPR.

Well I hope they still use sentai even if they're super lazy adaptations and continue with the rehash of ideas with other projects. Yeah they can definitely make money for years with the old concepts but you know how it's going to go right? It'll be MMPR with sprinkles of the other teams here and there just like the IDW comics, things will be like fan fics, stuff that makes no sense in universe will happen for the sake of shocking twists and making the MMPR heroes the greatest.

I love MMPR, my favorite team but what has kept me interested in Power Rangers is the legacy factor, I don't want a million MMPR stories, I like seeing progress which DC/Marvel and other heroes don't. The subtle aspects of super sentai that make themselves appear in Power Rangers because it's an adaptation will be lost by people who don't get what sentai/power rangers is about. The way Hasbro handles transformers is not the way to handle Power Rangers.

I agree the post-Disney years have for the most part been missess but there was room to improve on them, and while this might give us some cool ideas that are better than a simple half-assed adaptation we'll end up losing in the long run.

Saw it before, hated it. For a fight that equates to nothing more than distraction storywise it was pretty chopped up and edited messily.

At least we got to see Jason one last time as Red before Hasbro reboots after Dino Fury.

He doesn’t even get a proper fight scene. And he doesn’t tell “We need dinozord power, NOW!”
