Power Rangers - the appreciation and discussion thread

[Allio]

pretty much what I was expecting for the series to find some BS to bring Tommy back.

I honestly would have enjoyed seeing Austin St John in the part instead of Tommy.

I agree that they could have done at least that.

I loved seeing those 10 returning rangers but yeah a shame TJ got like 2 lines in. I'm glad MMPR Red got to at least say the attack line after the morph and I was happy to see Rocky in that suit again but mostly because this special didn't give him much to do, for a MMPR Red return that actually takes time with the character we need Jason.

Maybe just five rangers would have worked. "Once a Ranger" seemed to do just fine with that many.

Trent only got two lines as well. Both he and T.J. only spoke when unmorphed.

Well tell that to Austin St. John. He was contacted to partake in the episode, but he turned it down, since although they'd have paid for his flight, he'd have been on his own as far as accommodations go.


I forgot to mention the best part of the anniversary episode. NO Victor and Monty.

I know they are both just awful copycats of Bulk and Skull. Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy already had acting experience before they landed their parts. Not only are those two guys on NinjaSteel/Super Ninja Steel bad actors, the material written for them is simply grating.

Is there even any reason as to how they choose the returning rangers? Why are half of them the same returning rangers from the Legendary battle..

I watched Legendary Battle again because I was hyped and man, it's even worse than I remember, what a waste those two seasons were.

[Allio]

It is pretty much first available first serve.

Here is what Andre the Black Nerd thought of the episode.

I don't know what acting experience Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy had before Power Rangers, but if IMDB is to be trusted, Chris Reid has done a good number of things before Power Rangers. On the other hand, I see that Caleb Bendit has had some experience, but not nearly as much. Victor and Monty just aren't likeable characters. I didn't care about Bulk and Skull at first, but they were given a chance to grow, although that's probably because they had a chance to be on the show a lot longer, and had a different theme in pretty much every season.

Jason Faunt said that when they were choosing actors for "Legendary Battle", they were more interested in the ones who haven't aged as much and still appear almost as young as when they first started. That's after they contact everyone, and look over everyone who has expressed interest. So it's most likely the same case for "Dimensions in Danger". Besides, other than JDF, Selwyn Ward and Jason Faunt are the only two who also appeared in "Legendary Battle" that appeared in "Dimensions in Danger". So it's not half of the same returning rangers from "Legendary Battle". Plus we all know why they had to have JDF there.

And we know from Lynn's comments at Morphicon the writers only insert those jokes in begrudgingly at the insistence of Saban

I realized after so many rangers were murdered there would be a way out centered around Tommy/MMPR Green, however, I missed it because I dont follow Go Go!. I dont understand the green choas crystal. How did it save Tommy or how does it work? Its been around since the end of #4, but I dont get what it does.

One plot hole, what happened with the candle Rita made?

I wonder if sales are going to dive now with #31 with the change of focus or maintain strong. I am hoping this patchwork team is only for an arc. Thoughts on the title's focus and future? More original six please!

Last day for the Heroes of the Grid Kickstarter if anyone is still on the fence. All stretch goals have been met, there are gameplay videos available, and lots of questions answered in the FAQ and Comments sections.

Can't wait for this

(Though I really wanted me some Terror Toad...)

The Nininjer team up with Jiraiya has been adapted for Ninja Steel

like I said on rangerboard, not something that I'm looking forward to. If they had to use Jiraiya I feel like they could have used him as the one to make the nexus prism

And from the sound of everything, it really doesn’t amount to much. Outside of the sheriffs being mentioned we don’t get anything. Not even a non suited Jiraiya or transformation

Should a sequel to last year's film happen, here's what RJ Cyler wants to see in it.

I also want to see more of the Trini character because there were a lot of good nuggets of who Trini is and how she could potentially be a part of the LGBT community. I want to see the development of that. Fan's lives can change with that.

So apparently it's been confirmed that Sledge is in the christmas special this year

Anyone remember when Disney made some trading cards with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with capes on them? the fandom speculated that it's because they wanted them to be more like superheroes and part of their animated pitch. Anyone here have pictures of that?
