New Power Rangers/TMNT both on Nick, new crossover possible?

*sdp* · 05-12-2010, 10:02 PM

Disney bought PR around almost ten years ago and Nick the turtles last year, a team up would have been impossible. Today it was announced Saban bought back the turtles from Disney, and the old PR shows and new season will air on Nick. Disney is not a company to let go of their properties and we know it cost Saban a lot more to re-acquire PR than the what Nick paid for the turtles. I think Toei AND Nick both helped pay for the franchise since both benefit from them. Toei wants more international money from their Sentai series and with this they get it since Disney seemed to plan on sitting on the property and Nick needs more action shows especially after losing their Marvel shows to Disney (also why they bought TMNT) and with this they get exclusive rights to their new seasons.

So I think a new crossover while not likely (because one is cg and the other is live action) is now a definite possibility. Both shows are now under the same roof, both are action shows and perfectly compliment each other perfectly and will only help each other out, so this is actually great news for TMNT in general. To me it also brings a tear to my eye to see the two biggest franchises from my early childhood together, I know a lot of the dromers were too old for PR so they don't like them but anyone in their early 20s likely loved both shows. The first crossover was pretty bad besides some cool fight scenes but having both these franchises together was still amazing for me to see and I'd love to see it again and it could happen.

No matter what your thoughts are on a new crossover (I'm guessing mostly negative) you guys have to see PR being on Nick is really good for the turtles.

MEH.

When I was a wee lad in Long Island NY, you liked one or the other. Those who chose PR were banished from our circle. I once asked a kid if he wanted to play ninja turtles & he said 'power rangers are better'... I brought my mom over & asked her if she would kill him. I was like 4 but I knew my role.

*sdp* · 05-12-2010, 10:26 PM

Power Rangers are also hated by the TMNT fandom because they indeed kill the TMNT fad, so between that and most TMNT fans being older means they don't like PR. Fun thing is the PR fandom most of them love the turtles. I guess younger kids just saw them as two kick ass shows while older kids saw them as enemies

Anyways I forgot to mention that apparently they bought PR for nine figures, so that means either Laird got freaking ripped off by viacom or just shows how much more the PR franchise is worth than the turtles. I definitely find that interesting,.

*CyberCubed* · 05-12-2010, 11:02 PM

Fun fact:

I hated Power Rangers for killing TMNT, and loved Pokemon for killing Power Rangers.

Good times.

*sdp* · 05-12-2010, 11:24 PM

Personally I loved TMNT, PR and Pokemon, got to enjoy all three franchises. I consider myself pretty lucky too since not many kids got to enjoy all three of them and only two of them. I was at the exactly right age to still catch (barely) the TMNT fad before it ended and to catch (barely) the Pokemon fad before my childhood was over.

Anyways I don't think Pokemon killed PRs, the fad ended years before Pokemon came out and the show continued on even after Pokemon. With PR they did speed up the end of TMNT however even without PR the fad was already slowing down. Fads only last a few years, same thing happened to Pokemon, I guess you can say Yu Gi Oh killed it but the show is still on the fad just ended because it can't last forever..

Just as an FYI for those of you who are going "Aw poor Saban" right now.

Disney purchased Power Rangers from Saban for 3.2 billion dollars.

The reported amount for the new deal for Saban to buy them back was 100 million.

So yeah...I really don't see Disney being the villian here.

How did Disney figure the Power Rangers were worth that much whereas TMNT only sold for about $60 million? That's a real crime right there.

Redmage1987 · 05-13-2010, 02:18 AM

I honestly loved both the Ninja Turtles and the Power Rangers the same. If I had to pick one I would go with the Ninja Turtles because they are a bit more original and I was a fan of them first, but overall I like them the same (Mighty Morphin's Only BTW). As for Pokemon I also loved them, I almost didn't get into it though.

At the time of the original purchase of the power rangers, the property was performing MUCH better than the Turtles were at the time of their purchase. The turtles had already entered their current ebbing state before the buyout.

LOL!!!!!

!!! Amazing!!!

I like Pokemon, I love TMNT, I dont like very much PR but not hated them..I feel just... some kind of indifference...

*Eiko* · 05-13-2010, 05:19 AM

My kids love the Power Rangers after seeing the first movie on Cartoon Network Few weeks ago. I hated the Power Rangers for taking over my Ninja Turtles plus the the show was lame.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-13-2010, 05:33 AM

love both franchises, but a crossover, no thank you.

I'm definitely don't think "Aw poor Saban", he is one of the 300 richest people in the world. However that above is a lie, Disney wanted the Fox Family channel which Saban Entertainment owned so they bought Saban Entertainment, all the Saban Entertainment properties like Power Rangers were just considered as sweetening of the deal not that Disney actually meant to buy PRs in the first place.

I love both franchises as well, if I had to chose I'd probably pick the turtles since it was the first show I ever got into. I also don't think the two universes belong with each other, they are too different even if both deal with space aliens and robots. However I won't deny that if a crossover happened it would get me all excited to see both franchises together again. And with Saban owning PR again and them airing on Nick its definitely a possibility now, when disney owned them it was out of the question. I don't think it'll happen since the new show is CG and PR are live action.

Regardless the thread I also meant to discuss what it meant for the turtles, IMO the two franchises would work well together and help each other out. Both appeal to the same target audienc.e and would get people to tune in to the other show, not to mention it helps Nick build their action block and the TMNT doesn't have to do it all alone (I guess DBZ and Voltron help too).

Blade Raider · 05-13-2010, 01:36 PM

Screw that, I want a Power Rangers/Voltron crossover.

Also, this:

RiseAbove873 · 05-13-2010, 01:58 PM

Meh. I don't care about Power Rangers. I was older when it was first released. Besides, Power Rangers is basically a rip off of Voltron. I'd rather see a TMNT and Voltron crossover.

weird that power rangers are a ripp-off of Voltron a show from the 80's, when it started as a adaption of the Super Sentai series that first aired in the mid 70's

**Venom** · 05-13-2010, 10:14 PM

$100 million dollars?! For those crappy caricatures?!?!?!

What the hell makes the Power Rangers worth $40 million dollars MORE than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?!

*shuriken* · 05-13-2010, 10:34 PM

No snare drum... please. PLus why is there the white and green ranger aren't they the same dude?
Anyway 100 million wasn't just for Power Rangers but Saban Entertainment.
