... Couldn't you do literally ignore everything that's been established and make up anything for a Power Rangers movie? Considering that it's made up of sets of characters and storylines that have virtually nothing to do with each other in the first place, aside from the very basic concept of course.

Seriously, as long as it's about 3-8 people in color coded body suits and motorcycle helmets that fight giant monsters while piloting a mecha, it's a Power Rangers movie. Literally any other details are irrelevant.

I like the idea of the PRs movie a lot, I think it would work, I've wanted a female red ranger forever and yes charlie or lauren count but we haven't had one as the "main" red ranger. So I thank SJW trend for this one, also a diverse cast doesn't really matter for a show like Power Rangers, the more diverse the better just don't racebend characters. Plot is like a dream come true to me.

Of coure I'd rather the movie rumor being false and having a ****** movie than ending sentai footage for PRs, if you take that out I'm not sure I'll ever be into PRs as much as I have.

[neatoman]

So I looked up what some reactions to this whole "scrapping sentai" thing was.

The weirdest rumor I've seen is... That Hasbro and Tomy are conspiring against Bandai and Toei... For the purpose of reviving some failed attempts by Tomy to make Sentai clones between 2006 and 2010, by hijacking the Power Rangers brand for publicity.





... Still thinking PR is simply just tanking as a franchise. Although, after nearly 30 years of being nothing more than reshoots of Sentai shows, it does seem more likely that they'd pick some other show to edit than make everything from scratch.

Weren't there rumors that Toei was going to end sentai? Perhaps that could've started things like "we need more money to continue sentai so you can adapt PRs" and Hasbro is like "no", so perhaps then Toei stops sentai hence "ending" the relationship since all they can adapt is shows that are already done.

Or if Hasbro just doesn't adapt, wouldn't that mean Toei could sell the adaptation to another bidder? Hasbro would not want that.

I don't think things are going to be as bad as they seem, because of the two statements above. But in the scenario that sentai continues and PRs is animated and it's all MMPR from now with edgy new versions of MMPR, screw that, and I love MMPR.

This is all rampant speculation.

If they do split up, Toei definitely needs to get all the rights in order to sell Sentai in the states since they are starting to push their toku.

Man, I never got to finish the series but I really enjoyed the rescue series. Though they have found success with a new franchise it seems with Idol x Heroine. Though it?s for even younger audience than even sentai.

I was thinking Tom, the clone. Now it looks like Drakkon trying to redeem himself. Why can't they just stick to Original Six goodness?

Kamen rider is getting a new game

We all know that Tommy and Jason are the greatest two rangers of all-time. Sometimes Tommy is #1 other times it is Jason, honestly while I am a Tommy fan it does not matter as they are the best two. However, if they were not a part of the original six would they be the top two Power Rangers ever? I am curious how much of it is a part of a narrative, legacy, and nostalgia. I am looking past my OG6 love here curious about an answer.

Beyond the original show, Zeo, Turbo, and In Space, I've fallen out of touch with Power Rangers (except for the current comic run, which is incredible). For someone like me, if i was to try to watch any of the newer versions, where should I start? Which ones would you all recommend?

The best seasons from the current era would be Dino Charge and Beast Morphers, though they do have their moments of pure cringe.

The best of the older seasons post-Zordon era, at least from my POV

1. Power Rangers RPM
2. Power Rangers Time Force
3. Power Rangers Lost Galaxy
4. Power Rangers Dino Thunder
5. Power Rangers SPD

[Allio]

Dino charge is fine, but I think everything else since Saban brands buy back is t really worth it.

While I don’t care much for it I just recommend reading the comics.

[ZariusTwo]

Eh, the comics started off promisingly, but they've just degenerated into total edgelord-pandering fanfic guff

[Allio]

Pretty much felt about that since day one. But apparently that’s what attracts the common reader so who am I to dissuade someone.

I just hope the ultraman comic that starts tomorrow doesn’t fall down the same path.

Awesome! Lost Galaxy was the last one that I actually watched some of before I fell off the wagon. I've heard good thing about about Time Force, as well as Beast Morphers though! Thank you!

I actually read the comics already. For the most part, I've been really happy with the series as a whole. That's actually the main reason I've been looking into getting back into the show some.
