should us tmnt fans be upset compared to mmpr

[mikey22]

I just found a link that mmpr is releasing all of their episodes in one set in august. 19 discs plus extras

It took us about a decade to get ours complete lol.

I am a tad upset that mmpr gets them all in one swoop for that price where us tmnt fans spent about $10-15 per dvd we purchased, lets not forget season 4,5, and 6 were more + season 7 was a lil pricey.

Doesn't matter where you start where you finish, but just found this shocking how MMPR fans can get them all for one. Granted we had 10 seasons compared to 3, but both shows finished airing in 1996ish.

Ah well- Guess we can have a 90s' august celebration!

The bonus features also seem better than ours. At least thanks to Canadian Turtle, IveyAngelo, and NinjaTurtlesNetwork.com and the TMNT Podcast site we got out "bonus feature content" more independently, and I put those of separate discs. Though people would rather spend a little at a time rather than on one big set, even if it means less money per episode. We also don't have to be in the shadow of Super Sentai since Mirage/Archie Turtles were completely independent of the OT. I'd rather wait til' 2013 when it may be in clearance/cheaper on eBay since that will be MMPR's 20th anniversary, and will feel much more appropriate to celebrate then. Even still, the canon isn't complete until In Space (which includes that NTNM crossover episode, which I'm sure we'll all buy), so I hope it sells well so we can get that far!

Only if you're extremely childish and whiny.

Why are people always comparing the Ninja Turtles to the Power Rangers? I don't understand how the two coralate with each other, except for a couple minor similarities.

[Mr.Turtle]

^ i dont think they r comparable at all.

Of course we should be upset, Lionsgate halfassed the TMNT release and gave us pretty terrible releases with low quality and less than stellar packaging/special features over almost 10 years. Disney never cared about PR's and gave us pretty crappy releases and once Saban got the franchise back they partner with Shout and now we have these amazing box set released relatively quickly with great quality, great special features and amazing packaging.

The comment about MMPR only being three seasons couldn't be more wrong, TMNT may have been 10 seasons instead of 3 but MMPR is still more episodes than all 10 TMNT seasons and we're still getting them all in one box set, and that's not all, Power Rangers fans aren't just getting MMPR we're getting a megabox set that has MMPR-PRLost Galaxy, which is basically the first 7 PR seasons and around 350 episodes and we'll be getting the other 10 seasons PRLR-PRRPM probably in less than a year making 700 episodes released in less than 1 year, and 1 year is how long it took Lionsgate to release S1 and S2 a total of 18 episodes on DVD.

Except for the fact that it was MMPR that ended "turtlemania", the title of the show was obviously influenced by the TMNT title, they both feature Martial Arts, they teamed up and most 90s kids grew up with both franchises and both franchises were huge around the same time. There's plenty of reasons to compare the two.

Yeeeeaaaah... I still kinda totally want it.

And then Pokemon killed Power Rangers.

I think you're correct, or at least that the rise of MMPR coincides with the decline of "turtlemania."

I'd say this is more accurate. To me it seemed that turtemania was over by the time Power Rangers came on the scene. TMNT was just killing time 'til the next thing.

Same deal. The Power Rangers fad was well and truly over by the time Pokemon hit. We were already on what...Turbo or In Space by the time Nintendo released the games and anime aired.

[Impervium Gem]

I love bonus stuff, but I don't feel comfortable when I'm upset about something. It's like a distraction from that exciting, magical journey I go on when I watch cartoons from my childhood. An entire TMNT box containing all episodes would be ace though.

Power Rangers never really died it's been on-air pretty much non stop since it's launch.

Well, Disney wanted to kill it for a while before actually doing so, with that Remaster MMPR Season One crap (and they wanted to kill it sooner, they just had to not advertise RPM, and stick it at a 5AM timeslot to kill it, and would have killed it after Jungle Fury, had they not gotten asked to continue). Saban saved it, got it back into being a hit name (quality's subjective, but the 2 million or so viewers on Samurai say the marketing worked) and are bringing back the show on DVD (pre-ordered my MMPR-PR:LG set), so I'm happy. They're also bringing back several of their other live action shows (so, hey, we now get The Next Mutation on DVD...yay?).

Be upset at Lionsgate, if anyone. Shoutfactory's giving these seasons in reasonably priced box sets (MMPR Seasons 1 and 2 will be released as half seasons, the rest as full seasons when bought alone at stores), yet, Lionsgate got the DVD rights to Samurai and Super Samurai, and they're release 4 episode DVD sets (apparently, box sets will come down the line, but I told myself I wouldn't go through the 3-4 episode a set deal after the DBZ on edited VHS/uncut VHS/Uncut Bilingual DVD days...never again *holds Dragon Boxes*).

Still, the way they were released is the issue. It would be nice to see the sets get released in proper order (maybe both individually, and in a complete series set, for the pain seekers among us). I'd buy it if they released a set like that on Time Life, like they did the 7 Season PR set.

Though honestly, the 4Kids show needs a proper release a bit more, considering how it's DVD release went.

Absolutely! I didn't watch this series when it was on TV and have been wanting to see if for a while. I hope that the series gets released in it's entirety at some point.

[Koi]

I don't see anything wrong with that, I find this fandom almost identical to the MMPR fandom.
Equal in fans in my opinion as well.

Yeah and I'm a fan of both. I hate when people make me choose.

Only select markets got it at that time though. My area wasn't one of them. Hell, some didn't even get it in their area at all.

Power Rangers has never left the airwaves ONCE in it's 20-plus history. While there was no original content in 2010 because Disney cancelled the show in 2009, there was the "reversioning" of old MMPR episodes. Saban bought the rights back and it's remained active since then

to answer the question, no....
