Well crappy is your opinion. We don't know how much they payed just that it was nine figures it could have been more actually.

So why are they worth more?

Well they bought it off Disney and not a person, Disney knows how much the franchise was worth, Maybe Laird didn't and he got ripped off. They also bought 700 episodes something that Laird didn't have. We don't know how much each franchise sells, PR likely does make more money from licensing than the turtles do so they're worth much more. Also Saban doesn't have complete ownership, Toei owns Super Sentai what PR is based off so if they had actually wanted to fully own everythng you can bet it would have cost much much more than what they payed for

Anyway 100 million wasn't just for Power Rangers but Saban Entertainment.
no, Disney did not sell Saban Entertainment, just Power Rangers. You realize Disney bought Saban Entertainment for lke 3.4 billion right? Not that it wouldn't have been cool for Saban to own all those old catoons again like Bobby's World, Eek the Cat etc.

Oh please no. I never liked the Power Rangers. The original turtle cartoon was better than the Rangers, Gargoyles and Batman were a hella lot better than power rangers, hell even Rescue Rangers were better than Power Rangers.

Yes, it's the same dude. That's why I called it the Jason David Frank pic (except for Red Ranger, unless it was the Red for Zeo/Turbo).

And I only do the snare drum bit when I reach a milestone by 50s;

I am wondering that as well, considering TMNT has had a rebirth since 2k3+movie. Power Rangers are clinging to life.

Read my previous post, PR just makes a lot more money than TMNT. The easiest proof is look at how many PR communities there are online and most of them are much bigger than the drome which is the largest TMNT community Also PR have never been off the air unlike TMNT and have always had toys since the show came out, its just a much more valuable property.

No it isn't. Power Rangers is an American adaption of Super Sentai, and Voltron took that same concept used in Super Sentai. More correctly would be, Voltron is a Super Sentai ripoff (both franchises were by the same studio though, so neither is actually a ripoff).

Power Rangers was still on by the time the Pokemon craze took effect. I really don't get the whole Power Rangers killed TMNT thing. The cartoon still aired for 3 more years after Power Rangers started. Besides that, I the lasting seasons were dull and I don't see how they could of continued from it.
