Gee, maybe they should just dubbed the sentai back when they had the chance.https://movieweb.com/power-rangers-reboot-happening-disney-percy-jackson-confirmed/?taid=6931b9552a0903000154b289&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
>>23653934>dubbed the sentaino.Still, that's kind of sad that because of pr we never actually got dubbed sentai.
>>23653976After this show fails, they might say fuck it and see how dubbed Zyuranger does. They're intent on making money off Power Rangers still, but they've given up making a real effort, and they're painting themselves into a corner on what's left to attempt.
>>23653934>>23653976>>23653992>WHY. DONT THEY. JUST. DUB SENTAI?1.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzpjgaHyZ2Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jodwAwrupU2. Burgerland tv censorsYou think 4Kids having to censor anime is awkward?How the fuck do you get around shit like Bandora's eyes bleeding and her son dying right before him let alone all the blood, firearms, skimpy outfits, etc
>>23653992at this point a dubbed Zyuranger will only be a novelty to people who grew up with MMPR. And even then most would probably stop watching after the initial episodes.You'd be better off dubbing modern sentai if you want new audiences, but you would have to deal with different standards in media censorship from Japan and the US (even on streaming) and tastes.
>in the coming future, there will be Power Rangers generals and Sentai generals will be long overhow the tables turn.
>>23654036IF this thing actually comes out or isn't complete trash, don't count your chickens before they hatch.
>>23653934I AM AMAZONhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r67jBFQXJ7E
>>23653934>Bringing that e-celebrity retard hereFuck off and burn back in your general you shit eater
>>23653934>Gee, maybe they should just dubbed the sentai back when they had the chance. Nah. Sentai writing is too goofy for the average westerner. It would have failed miserably with just a straight dub.
>>23654031Whether they should attempt a newer series or not is a moot point; MMPR/Zyuranger is always used as a testbed because that actually brings people willing to pay. When they shift over to other series, sales keeps dropping off. They're always going to go for what will do better financially in the short term, even if it potentially means it's harder to capture a newer audience long term.
>>23654079Right because revengeporn!kimberly was such a mature story idea.
>>23654000Don't market as kids, but as teens and adults, at least with Zyuranger to see how it does.
>>23654000Because those are dubbed bad ON PORPUSE!
>>23654000>How the fuck do you get around shit like Bandora's eyes bleeding and her son dying right before him let alone all the blood, firearms, skimpy outfits, etcMarket the older stuff to the nostalgiafags and the newer stuff to children
>market it to adultsand there lies in the problem
>>23654109Super Sentai is for kidsThese projects are funded by toy sales
>>23654161It's always toyfaggotry isn't it, that's what ruined the 80s
>>23653934>i dont care about the sentaiReminder that Linkara only really followed the OG Saban shows and he only got round to watching the remaining two thirds of the franchise for the sake of his HOPR money ticket. Here's your Power Rangers superfan, bro.
>>23653992>they've given up making a real effortMaking a show that's completely compromised of original footage will take more effort than PR's original format.
>>23653934>Gee, maybe they should've a completely original MMPR season back when they had the chance.FTFY. Seriously they're only doing this NOW? Did they now have enough money or some shit? Where did they get the money for this?
>>23653934You gonna get monkey pawed and they'll use AI dubbing.
Kids moved on to Marvel. No kids are gonna watch a show that plays laser noises when a ranger punches a monster.
>>23653934@grok, post linkara running reel at 4k resolution
So, what countries had dubbed Sentai before Power Rangers came along? I know Brazil had Changeman and Flashman.
>>23654252Stones in glass houses, etc., etc.
>>23653934How long until Hasbro fumble the new series?
>>23653934Power Rangers is already a live action series.
>>23654061I will never forget the Amazon shitposting from circa 2011-2012. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OP thread, that shit was kino.
>>23654329>Gee, maybe i shouldn't be a fucking contrarianThink of your life choices.
>>23654553Spain dubbed Liveman under the Bioman titleLatin American got a bad spanish dub done in Brazil of Flashman and an okayish but now lost media venezuelan dub of Liveman, and out of all things, a mexican dub of Solbrain (but using the brazilian dub as reference) and of course the Intertrack dub of Ultraman Tiga (also barely survived by shitty youtube transcodes)Fun fact, prior to scoring Power Rangers, Haim Saban and Kussa Mauchi did the soundtrack for an older french dub of Metalder before VR Troopers became a thing.
>>23654120Also have meta jokes about the audience expecting colorful superheroes to appeal to kids by default.
the problem with saban is that they made everything a clusterfuck
>>23654553France had Bioman (ah~ ah~ byo-maaaan)iirc that's where Saban got the bug up his ass to make a buck on sentai
>>23653934americans dont want to watch a live-action show with japanese main actors
>>23655145They ate up squid game. Koreans, I know. but still.
>>23653934The charm of Power Rangers is its East meets West production. Dubbing Sentai or, on the other hand, making a show that uses no Sentai footage, is sauceless.
>>23654553France had >Bioman>Flashman>Maskman>Liveman>Turboranger>Fiveman>JetmanIt was broadcast on "Club Dorothée" (basically THE kids' show that aired Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Ranma 1/2, Fist of the North Star... every Japanese show imaginable), and Dorothée (the main presenter) appeared in Liveman, even in the Japanese version; she's just dubbed by a Japanese actress, pic rel
>>23655313You didn't like any of the Power Rangers movies?
>>23654106Power Rangers has been recently pushing itself as a nostalgia franchise and part of that for the West means that they need to do stupid edgy shit so that the audience perceives it as being no longer for kids, since they think it's shameful to enjoy media primarily aimed at children.
>>23655604also I forgot but Maskman was renommed Bioman 2 and Liveman Bioman 3
Watch them just do another rehash of MMPR. Let this shit die. And man Linkara has a punchable face...
>>23655683>another rehash of MMPR. another rehash like what? The 2010 half-finished shitpost edit? The movie that barely resembled MMPR anyway with the entire cast having a different personality except maybe Billy?You guys act like there's a bunch of MMPR reboots when there's really just a lot of merch for it(because it sells well). And no, they're not going to make a Ninja Storm or SPD rehash or whatever Disney season.
>>23655691Which is why I know this is going to be shit. To be frank, PR has outlived its stay. Little kids don't care about it so much as manchildren in their 30s and 40s.
>>23654106>Right because revengeporn!kimberly was such a mature story idea.What the fuck does any of this mean
>>23655610I'm rather fond of Turbo and not just for Sakamoto x AJJ collab
Anyone remember than fan film where Rocky sold out to the Machine Empire for better meth?
>>23655313This. It may have started out as a cost-cutting measure, but the blend of two different countries' sensibilities is the magic that made Power Rangers. The further you stray from the balance, the more it just becomes another empty template to be molded to modern standards, becoming even more of a fad than it originally was. That and we had people who gave enough of a damn to put some effort into the production, which we clearly don't have now. We've seen it proven with the 2017 movie, and I have no confidence they won't continue the trend with the new series.>>23655881Who could forget Power/Rangers? it was practically prophetic.
>>23654553Hong Kong had Cantonese dubbed episodes of Sentai, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider. https://youtu.be/4XCs_P1o6Pghttps://youtu.be/bLO5m45dfdIhttps://youtu.be/egw5hv_TWMI
>>23655313No, people just dont gave em a chance because assholes dub them badly on porpusse, 4kids Tiga and the Lost and Found in Translation episode of Dino Thunder (which was about Abaranger) were signs that dipshitlibs just detest japan, heck look at what happened with the Ghost Stories dub.
>>23656317Look, Ghost Stories was boring and sucked and the joke dub made it a million times more entertaining.
>>23655691Thats basically what the shitty comics are, 90% MMPR
>>23656347I'm still surprised that Astronema and the Psycho Rangers were in the second Godzilla crossover.
>>23655771In the shitty 2017 reboot movie, Kimberly's story is that her friends were being bitches so she spread one of their nudes around as revenge and had a falling out with them over it. She's painted as sympathetic while realizing what she did was wrong but even by the end of the movie she still hates her former friends so she learned nothingHonestly she kind of was the worst part of the movie aside from the dumbass Krispy Kreme product placement
>>23654314It's funny Linkara doesn't care for Sentai but then spends half the episodes whining about decisions with PR's storytelling and behind the scenes troubles that are more understandable when you've watched the Sentai versionAlso his excuse for not watching it being "If I did a retrospective on Sherlock Holmes I shouldn't have to watch all Sherlock Holmes media" when it's not even a comparable example
>>23656354I haven't seen this movie so the only thing I remember is a scene in the trailer where Zack says "Hey, I'm black." and Billy looks at him funny. Also, I think Trina was Latina and a lesbian in the movie.
>>23656347comics don't count lol.
>>23656317>were signs that dipshitlibs just detest japan,man it's so funny how clear it is so many of you just became cognizant of reality outside kids' media around like 2011.
>>23656502They made it into that dumb PR fighting game.The shitty comics is all PR has now.
>>23656231>Toei actually has the M&E tracks for Zyuranger including the sound design for dubbing>GUYS, DUBBED SENTAI WONT WORK!I want Zyuranger dubbed in spanish putos.
>>23656327>show was actually popular and got got rating in japan even on dragonball levelseat a dick
>>23656502>I AM MOVING THE GOALPOST, AAAAAAAH!
>>23656359>It's funny Linkara doesn't care for Sentai but then spends half the episodes whining about decisions with PR's storytelling and behind the scenes troubles that are more understandable when you've watched the Sentai versionBecause he is an asshole and a complete dumbass.
>>23656516And they suck. Prime is some of the most mean-spirited, spiteful, narcissistic media I've ever seen.
>>23656753>Prime is some of the most mean-spirited, spiteful, narcissistic media I've ever seenqrd?
>>23653934So there will be a black guy, a tranny and a faggot. The red will be hispanic. The bad guy will be a white man
>>23654314When IS the next episode of HOPR anyway?
>>23657407Oh great, another Mighty Morphin' rehash.
>>23657425History of Power Rangers has NO. SET. SCHEDULE.
>>23656516>>23656753If you're talking about Battle for the Grid, then that didn't suck and was good for what it was trying to do. It's arguably the best Power Rangers/Super Sentai game to exist, which ins't saying much.
>>23657407Yeah I want my all white Power Rangers teams back.
>>23657446Has that ever happened?
>>23657425>>23657432Connerthewaffle makes better HOPR these days and has a better track record of schedules
>>23657433I was talking about Power Rangers Prime.>>23656769The red and yellow rangers are women who are written like guys on roids. The blue and black rangers are/will be a yaoi couple. Rita Repulsa is a blatant self-insert for the fat female author who's the green ranger and the leader. Finally, the pink ranger is a tall, blond white chad with no character who's going to be paired up with the female red ranger. And Zordon and his entire race are evil and have conquered Earth.It's basically Star Wars :The Acolyte for Power Rangers.
>>23654000I've never had a problem with Netflix dubs.
>>23654329>Where did they get the money for this?Well, when a VC and his forward earnings projects love each other very much...
>>23657501Nope. Power Rangers was always diverse before wokie/DEI ruined the diversity itself
>>23656516I forgot that a third TMNT crossover was going on until I saw an issue at a comic book store.
>>23657567Prime is on the way outThe writer basically confirmed its cancelation isn't leading to a relaunch
>>23654109zyuranger is literally the most childish super sentai series out there. I honestly don't think it would have done as well in america as other sentai would.Especially now, people will see those suits and just think of MMPR and compare it to MMPR.
>>23654553It's a shame we never got the Stan Lee sponsored Sun Vulcan in the west.
>humbles sentaifagsalso >saban offered PR to bandai >they rejected the offer DESERVED
>>23660006>>saban offered PR to bandai>>they rejected the offer??? Bandai was the manufacturer of PR toys for decades. It was Saban who conspired with Hasbro's late CEO behind everyone's back for nearly 20 years to have the toy rights sold to Hasbro.
>>23660037https://x.com/DeathyChris/status/1995135968584626422
>>23660042>>23660006Should have read the follow-up post. It was never actually confirmed, just in-house rumor milling. And even if said rumors were indeed in the works, that adds more credibility to what >>23660037 is saying - they talked with Bandai just to cuck them with Hasbro anyways.
>>23653934
>>23656520Really the only reason Ghost Stories wasn't even more of a success in Japan was they didn't expect it to be so popular so they didn't set up merch or possibilities of more of it when working on it.
>>23654252>that's what ruined the 80sno the opposite ruined the 90s because no one cares about Dexter's lab or other crap of that era
>>23653934>Fully original Power Rangers... Let me guess, since taking fight scenes from an existing show was still deemed too expensive to film in America so they had to move the production to New Zealand and make sure nobody was part of a union, this just isn't going to be very good, is it?It's probably going to be some shit like they'll have 5-10 episodes every season (probably at the lower end of that), then there will be like two years or more between seasons, everyone will probably still be non-union and/or have some accent slip, there may not be a new monster every episode to fight, the giant robot fights may be relegated to season finales, fight scenes may be reduced to like a minute or two and the HQ of both the heroes and villains is going to be a real shitty set.How right am I going to be about this?
>>23660465It's a Disney Plus show, so I don't think it's going to be that low budget. The issue is just if it will be big enough to get more seasons or just air and then die off for real.
>>23660079All I've heard was most if not all were based on actual myths in Japan. Like I remember the Yuki-Onna episode. Also, it was kind of weird that the show kept flashing Satsuki's panties despite her being 11. Though it is Japan.
>>23653934Anyone else noticed how Linkara had a tendency to place blame on the Sentai when it came the Power Rangers counterpart being flawed, pointed out when Power Rangers original content was good it was indeed not taken from Sentai and ignored it when a plotline was taken from Sentai unless he could complain about it?
>>23660657>Anyone else noticed how Linkaralol no
>>23660657I've heard Power Rangers' adaptation of Gokaiger is one of the most hated seasons so either they completely fucked it up for PRfags just hate the things that Sentaifags like.
>>23660681It's the former. Just gonna tell you now, assume it's the former in most cases.
>>23660681They tried to Frankenstein Gokaiger with Goseiger and that did cause some plot problems but nothing worse than when they Frankensteined Zyuranger with the subsequent 5 Sentai shows, which is the era they won't shut up about. A "problem" they had though was the decision to keep footage of keys of five sentai teams that were never used in Power Rangers before getting used, which obviously isn't really a problem but it is a reminder that Power Rangers is really nothing more than how Sentai is marketed outside of Japan, which does annoy the kind of people who like to pretend Power Rangers is something more than that.
Power Rangers is garbage.The originals are much better.
>>23660845Funny thing is I believe if only one ranger morphed into a Sentai only ranger they'd edit it out but if the entire team did it, they'd leave it in. Also, some of the names were inconsistent. I think some may have shown up later in the Boom Comic like Fiveman being used for Psycho Green's original team. Though, I'm pretty sure Megaforce had more problems than just leaving in footage of Senti only teams. Like weren't none of the Disney rangers not invited despite being in New Zealand? Casey's actor was the only one because his actor was a writer on the show. I think whoever was running the show at the time hated the Disney seasons or something. And I believe he either quit or got fired after this. I can't remember.
>>23660865But I thought both Ninja Steel and Ninninger were considered terrible.
>>23660845MMPR is a frankenstein stitch-job of 3 series that's further attached to other series, but at the very least you can say there's characters that became endearing and memorable to people and they at least tried to make sense of the connections. The US original footage of the various series' suits mashed up is at least in effort to make sense of making it all work. Megaforce/Super Megaforce can't even say that. They don't even try to use the sentai-only teams as lore building. The characters are largely forgettable, even more than the MMPR replacement trio of Aisha, Adam, and Rocky. The few that are looked on fondly is more due to their actors remaining involved in fandom. It's not just a matter of old-good new-bad, Super Megaforce was legitimately half-baked. And it's coming only a few years from the disney seasons which tried to occasionally build up connections and be innovative with the JP footage.
>>23661000I think even the actors were baffled by how flat their characters were.
>>23660681it's the former.>"Megaforce" takes all the worst aspects of goseiger(that being the constant upgrades and new toys to sell) and ramps them up to 11 in a desperate attempt to sell toys to the power rangers kiddies>few if any cameos of previous rangers>"Super Megaforce" gives no real reason to change the rangers over to a new powerset(the gokaiger set)>they effortlessly fuck up the big bad's armada in fucking episode 2, but are apparently still unable to beat them>gokaiger powers make no goddamn sense and hilariously clash with the aesthetic and theming of Gosei(who's the PR sensei and designed after the goseiger morpher)>they don't even bother changing sentai footage featuring teams that never got turned into PR>the actual major anniversary battle in the Gokaiger vs Goseiger movie is hamfisted in as the finale episode, alongside like 10 cameo actors who got paid like shit>outside the show itself, Jason David Frank was going full fucking diva over the merchandise>several actors who were contacted showed their emails, which were riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, and expected them to pay their own tickets to new zealand to barely get paid industry ratesMegaforce is easily the worst ever season of power rangers, which is saying a lot when Samurai(which butchered Shinkenger), Operation Overdrive(which was another slap in the face anniversary season and butchered Boukenger), and Ninja Steel(which butchered Ninninger) exist. In contrast, the series that came after, Dino Charge, which adapted Kyoryuger, was fucking FANTASTIC.I'm not a fan of how MMPR badly frankensteined Zyuranger, Dairanger, and Kakuranger together, but to give the slightest shred of credit to Saban, at least that was their FIRST ATTEMPT at the series. They didn't know if power rangers would have staying power with changing casts and plots. Megaforce was fucking 20 years later. They should have fucking known better by that point.Yes, I'm still mad.
>>23657567I heard that the pink is actually Megaforce Silver for some reason. Seriously it's fucking embrassing for this, Tumblr-era of Power Rangers
>>23661285>>the actual major anniversary battle in the Gokaiger vs Goseiger movie is hamfisted in as the finale episodeThis could have been a good idea, but only if they also had moved the final boss battle to that point, rather than killing the boss, then everyone appears to face grunts. They even make a big moment with origianl footage where they use their finished "end" the war. Which is stupid when they aren't facing any real opponents.>gokaiger powers make no goddamn sense and hilariously clash with the aesthetic and theming of Gosei(who's the PR sensei and designed after the goseiger morpher)Yeah, part of the reason is that people in charge really didn't care about the pirate theme, so an actual Gokaiger adaptation was never happening.
>>23661285My favorite part is when the Black Megaforce tries to ask why his color was changed and just as Gosei was about to explain, they get attacked and then it's never brought up again. Oh, and RoboKnight popping up in the final battle out of nowhere despite being dead. I assume it's Sentai footage that got left in. I think they just assume that since the target audience is kids, they're not gonna care about that sort of thing.
Remember when Ryu became a Power Ranger? The man has fought nearly every fictional character in existence.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luI0jRMUjFo
>>23661320It's not just the target audience being kids, it's that they target preschool kids. Which is even more ironic when Saban hated ToQger designs because it looks too childish.
>>23660845>>23660867>>23661000Supposedly, the real reason they went as far as reshoot new US footage of 4 sentai only costumes but replace VulRed with Mighty Morphin Red was because the former used a realistic looking katana for its footage and that obviously look freakish for Power Rangers so they reshoot it with the one ranger that had the most toyetic looking toy.But you know what the fuckest thing is, fucking shitkara, even after 5 fucking REEEEEEedits of his HoPR Megaforce videos, STILL didnt bother to get the correct information regarding this because ''I DONT CARE ABOUT THE SENTAI, POWUR RANGERS NEEDS TO STAND ON ITS OWN'', like, i am not even kidding, he is such a bizarre lazy dipshit.
Isn't this the second time Disney has been working on a PR reboot since Cosmic Fury ended? I'd say there's a 90% chance this never sees the light of day. And if it does, it's fucking Disney. It's gonna suck major ass.
>>23661285>In contrast, the series that came after, Dino Charge, which adapted Kyoryuger, was fucking FANTASTIC.Funny you say that because Kyoryuger was shit and this is when Sentai REALLY got fucking stupid, and all because unironically the japanese and BanDai got pissy over GoBusters actually TRYING to be more sophisticated for its first half, only to later retooled the show into the same stupid baby show with stupid japanese humor, i guess the sad truth is that japan, IS subserviant and complacent in their tastes.
>>23661383Id rather have it burn and never be done, is just more IP right ransom bribery to prevent Toei to release Sentai in the US properly (let alone continue the DVD sets)
>>23654113Nigga you dont even watch dubs.
>>23661528Watch this
>>23661390>Kyoryuger was shitIt's better than Dino Charge and unironically more ambitious than the average Sentai and PR show since it's got a bit of serialization going on with something important to the running plot happening every episode.
This thread stinks of Sentaifags.I’m glad Sentai is dead, just shows that PR was always superior to it.
>>23661580Hi Linkara.
>>23661529???, Watch what?
>>23660657I've noticed that Linkara and The Lightbringer have never been seen in the same room...
>>23662362There was the comic where they met because Linkara was actually a separate character in his isekai novels.
>>23653934Hang on - why would Disney be involved?Also fuck off Disney. You fucking fucked around with Doctor Who, now fuck off.
>>23653934>DisneyThe woke groomer blob devours yet another franchise.
>>23654000lol Americans are so fragile
>>23662502you are aware disney owned PR for years until saban got the rights back, right?and they released some of the worst PR seasons(and one of the best)?
>>23662672Tbf that was old Disney, the current Disney is prone to another slop and flopped
>>23662672>and they released some of the worst PR seasonsThey were all better than the stuff produced after Saban got back the rights, even the worst one.
>>23662712dino charge is one of the best ever seasons of PR, and AFAIK dino fury and cosmic fury weren't BAD(I didn't watch them). I can't defend ANY of the other neo saban seasons though.
>>23662726>dino fury and cosmic fury weren't BADThere's zero chance that's true.
>>23661580>he thinks PR is in a better state
>>23662712>They were all better than the stuff produced after Saban got back the rightsMost of them are also better than all 3 seasons of Mighty Morphin' and Turbo.
>>23662768All things considered, Dino Fury itself was decent enough among the better Saban Brands seasons. The real problems come from the baffling decisions they made due to the time period it was released in, but those were mostly negligible.Cosmic Fury on the other hand was a straight up embarrassment behind the scenes and in-universe, doubled down on Dino Fury's flaws and was a total wet fart of an ending to the original run of the series.
>>23653934All I can see is>Costumes are now CGI, full tacticool armor that bare zero resemblance to the OG suits and incredibly muted colors just like the MCU does >Rita isn't actually evil, she's just a victim because women just don't have the ability to do wrong
>>23653934I haven't watched much Sentai but from what little I've watched, the series of recent years have been godawful. Japanese comedy is hard to stomach for the rest of the world. And the CG looked uncanny. Older Sentai worked better because if wasn't as spastic-silly and the practical effects weren't uncanny to look at. Also japanese people are too ugly to watch entire shows with them, but that's just my personal taste.>>23655313>The charm of Power Rangers is its East meets West productionI would argue that the charm was that they were awesome. As a kid neither I nor my classmates realized that MMPR were a chimera of a western and an older eastern production. To us the charm was the transforming heroes beating up monsters using martial arts and then fighting a giant monster with a giant robot while the music went dirli dirli dirli dirli.
>>23664485By old Sentai you meant the 80s or 90s stuff, 90s Sentai is when they added awkward animu comedy, SPECIALLY after Kakuranger and Carranger.
>>23664485I feel like a big problem with both sentai and rider was that after a point it just got too TOYETIC. And yeah I know that was always the point and I'm not gonna sit here and try to pretend this is DEEP MATURE STORIES FOR DEEP MATURE ADULTS but it feels like it got really dumbed down.
>>23654079>too goofyBro, have you rewatched MMPR recently?The one they keep milking for nostalgia? If 90s kids could eat up Pumpkin Rapper, they would've been fine with Sentai.I'm saying this as somebody who grew up on MMPR.
>>23653934What is his beef with Sentai?
>>23665286I thought he just didn't care about it.
>>23665286>>23665292I think it just makes him embarrassed to be aware that what he felt was the coolest thing ever when he was 6 is essentially just slightly better Turkish Star Wars or slightly worse Robotech. You can tell from his videos that he wished was more "meaningful" in a way, be it expanding the lore or making more serious plotlines, but since Power Rangers is little more than an elaborate dub of Sentai it just doesn't have the creative freedom to be what he wishes it was. Obviously he can't pretend Sentai doesn't exist but he can act as it it "doesn't matter" as much as possible, even if that still doesn't mean Power Rangers is capable of deviating from Sentai that much.
>>23663435>>Rita isn't actually evil, she's just a victim because women just don't have the ability to do wrongSo it's an adaptation of the comics, then?
>>23663294The thing about Dino Fury is that season 1 was pretty damn great but for some reason I keep losing interest as season 2 went along and pretty much ignore Cosmic Fury. The 2 seasons thing really is a fucking blight, not helped by the stupid hiatuses making people lose interest.
>>23664485>Japanese comedy is hard to stomach for the rest of the worldThis scene is funnier than any scene in any Power Rangers show.
>>23665377Is this the cop/security guard/hobo from the Gamera trilogy??
Maybe the have have the cast of Riverdale be like Dairanger's or something like that. CW would've been good for the Rangers series. Honestly, don't know what the fuck is going to happen with this franchise anymore.
>>23656142>Who could forget Power/Rangers? it was practically prophetic.IIRC it was a satire of dark reboots but Haim watched it and thought it was good unironically, hence he released an edgy reboot movie
>>23665286He's racist against Japan, I really think so.
>>23659992I keep forgetting that Sentai was very close to becoming a marvel property
I wonder if Hasbro was aware sentai was gonna end in the 50th anniversary and that's why decided to not rely on it and just remake MMPR.
>>23667019Probably not.
>>23667019MMPR is the one that the west focuses on, and even then only the 1993 series. They played it again in 2010 and in May of this year, and the 2017 movie was a re imagining of the same 1993 show. It doesn't surprise me at all that Saban/Hasbro/Disney/whoever keep going back to that same well, regardless of whatever Sentai is doing.
>>23668314Toei should be pissed off that because of this westards Autismo towards MMPR Season 1 and it's cast lineup
>>23661377>''I DONT CARE ABOUT THE SENTAI, POWUR RANGERS NEEDS TO STAND ON ITS OWN'',You should have told us he was secretly in charge of Hasbro's Power Rangers division
>>23661390Yet KingOhger shows they can pull off sophisticated stories well. Thought that could also be due to the toys having a big jump in quality.
>>23661390They do the same thing as other countries."They changed it so it sucks."
>>23666321I tend to notice this amongst US fans of Japanese media that gets heavily Americanized and stripped of its Japanese origins. Like they can't wrap their heads that their favorite interest is derived from a Japanese show.
>>23661383The previous one that fell apart before anything happened was on Netflix.
>>23668952Ah fuck off every country would do this of they could.
I'm not going to take any serious criticism from a self described "nasty cock slut".
>>23669049Japan loves American Spider-Man as well though.
>>23669049NTA, but it's completely different. When a Western property gets ported to Japan or another foreign country it's a fun novelty. When a Japanese (or other Asian) property is imported to the West, there's usually a stronger visceral reaction towards the cultural elements. The only time this isn't true is when the work has a more overtly Western appeal.
>>23661285Another thing that screwed up Megaforce/Super Megaforce was that they squeezed in Goseiger and Gokaiger together into 40 episodes. Each 20 episode season having the full year toy arsenal of a proper Sentai so every episode felt like a mad rapid fire of toys. If they have spaced out either one to a more proper 40 episode season, it would've been much better.
>>23668979From what I remember, it was Netflix, then Disney, then Paramount, now Disney again.
>>23669553The sad thing is, even with 20 episodes, Super Megaforce still could've pulled off a tribute episode to each previous team. It would've been rushed, but they could've done it.>1. Premiere>2. Mighty Morphin>3. Alien>4. Zeo>5. Turbo>6. In Space>7. Lost Galaxy>8. Lightspeed Rescue>9. Time Force>10. Wild Force>11. Ninja Storm>12. Dino Thunder>13. SPD>14. Mystic Force>15. Operation Overdrive>16. Jungle Fury>17. RPM>18. Samurai>19. Random episode about whatever; could be put anywhere in the season>20. FinaleBut no, instead they gave us shit like "guy mistakes Tensou for a suitcase" and "two part resolution to Vrak where they forget how to pronounce his name," even though the proper thing to do with Vrak was just make him part of the main villain cast since they pulled a Rita/Rito and made him Vekar's brother.
>>23669639They can't do that because its a logistics nightmare. Many of the actors from those shows aren't available for filming or have to booked months in advance. Some American PR actors don't want to fly to Australia to film a few minutes for a single episode. Or their actor union rules won't allow it without union pay. Some Australian PR actors don't always want to fly to the USA to film scenes either.To make matters worse, even if a few of the actors are available, not all of them are willing to fly to another country to film. Like what happened with Amy Jo Johnson who refused to fly to Australia to film the anniversary Netflix episode.Lastly, some of the ranger actors have died and passed away. Like the lead for Ninja Storm. Or Some have quit acting entirely and moved on.Worst case scenario is that you cant get any of the actors from a specific seasdom to agree to return. Best case is maybe you get 1 or 2 actors tops to return. Never the whole teamTribute episodes work in Super Sentai because everything was filmed in Japan. Even if an actor lives far away they can just hop on the high speed rail for a few hours to get to their destination to film, maybe stay the night, and then return home. Japanese actors have it lucky and doesn't have to deal with cross nation filming and visa rules. It's best that you don't compare power rangers to super sentai.
>>23669960They did get a fairly large number of actors for the finale, but pretty much wasted them since they didn't have real roles or screentime for them.They could have gotten them and shot scene that them were spread around the season, rather than what they did.In general, it's clear there was just no attention put into the anniversary aspect - just consider they actually shot many new fighting scenes with the Goseiger suits, but didn't bother even using footage for full team transformations into all Power Rangers seasons, and barely actually had original battles with the past suits (or even Gokaiger's) at all.Heck, they spend two episodes on the Goseiger finale, explaining and shooting footage showing how all the new Super Mega Force powers are sealed during that, rather than just taking down Vrak in a battle scene with the new suits.
>>23669960Plus, I don't think Japan has unions and Power Rangers at the time was non-union. That's why in the RPM Samurai movie, Scott kept his mask on the entire time, and his actor was credited under a pseudonym.
>>23669553>>23669639Anon...it's well known that Super Sentai pays very poorly. Actors only do it for exposure and a stepping stone to bigger roles. That's why Japan is able to do all these crossovers like Gokaiger. Their budget could be stretched further because no one was getting paid anything. Gokai Blue's actor even said in an interview that Gokaiger was lowest salary he's ever been paid in his life. Even lower than a normal minimum wage job. Unlike Japan, The USA has to pay union rates and had to pay for flights and hotel stays. So a kids show can't afford to bring back all these older actors.>>23669970>They did get a fairly large number of actors for the finale, but pretty much wasted them since they didn't have real roles or screentime for them. IIRC, 90% of them were stunt doubles and wore helmets during the filming. Only small amount of actors actually appeared with their helmet off. David Yost the actor who played mmpr blue ranger said the salary offer to return was insultingly low and he refused to do it
>>23670161>has to pay union rates>power rangers>unionlollmao even
>>23670161>IIRC, 90% of them were stunt doubles and wore helmets during the filming.I mean, yeah, since every single team was there with their full line up, but they still got the original actors for:Tommy (Mighty Morphin Green Ranger)T.J. (Blue Space Ranger)Cassie (Pink Space Ranger)Leo (Red Galaxy Ranger)Damon (Green Galaxy Ranger)Karone (Pink Galaxy Ranger)Carter (Red Lightspeed Ranger)Dana (Pink Lightspeed Ranger)Wes (Red Time Force Ranger)Mike (Green Samurai Ranger)Emily (Yellow Samurai Ranger)Like I said though, they were mostly wasted. Most of them only got a single line and then stood in the background of several scenes (and I mean the actors, not the suits), A couple of them didn't have ANY LINES AT ALL.It was basically pure self sabotage.
>>23669525>i-it's completely different when japan does it
They’ve got a catalog of unadapted sentai, if the reboot fails just do that for 5 years then renegotiate with toei for gavan adaptions
>>23669960>>23670161>Actor logisticsWhile you guys aren't wrong, *technically* they don't *need* a returning actor to do a tribute episode. They'd just need to write a plot that would require them to use a particular team's power for a majority of the ep.>"We have to go underwater for this mission? We'll need to use the Alien Rangers.">"Only an animal spirit can overcome this newest monster. Time to pull out the Jungle Fury Rangers!">"The Armada's newest monster is a demon! Better make it a Lightspeed Rescue."Etc.
>>23670218or like doctor who and just lock the senile old guy in a shed in his backyard until you get enough good footage of him on a viewscreen
>>23670161>>23669960>>23669639the thing is apparently they were given a big budget but someone from the production crew somehow didn't care. even if we agree about logistics it's not like kiwi rangers weren't available
>>23669974Japan has agencies. All those cameos still required contact with them.
>>23666321>>23665286>>23665333>beef>guy absolutely loves zyuranger and gokaiger
>>23670777>even if we agree about logistics it's not like kiwi rangers weren't availableI recall some of the kiwi rangers refused to return to power rangers and moved on with their lives. That girl from Dino Thunder is a pretty notable example. She actively hates the power rangers fan base and insults them on social media.
>>23661377>replace VulRed with Mighty Morphin Red was because the former used a realistic looking katana for its footageWasn't it because Marvel holds the rights for SunVulcan?
>>23661285Don't forget>Rebuild two and a half villain bases (Warstar, Matrintis, Zangyack) from the two shows and still do barely 5 minutes in total of footage without american/nz actors and instead just have it to shoot more pointless scenes for the villains of their respective sentai shows.
>>23661285>>they don't even bother changing sentai footage featuring teams that never got turned into PRNor did they film any fight scenes with team/suit combinations that only make sense in PR.>Red MMPR, Red Alien, Red Zeo, Red Turbo, Red In Space>MMPR but with the girls as Green and White instead of Pink and Yellow>Green MMPR, White MMPR, Red Zeo, Red Turbo, Black Dino Thunder>Titanium Ranger and the Spirit RangersLike fucking hell, you'd think this shit would be some of very first the stuff they'd film for a PR Gokaiger adaptation.
>>23671438Yeah, Super Megaforce had a bunch of original fighting footage, but it was almost entirely with the Goseiger suits.
Did the Sentai only teams in Super Megaforce even have names?
>>23671453no, they were just 'legendary rangers'
>>23671453>>23671460They actually did have names, but some of them were only used in casting sides and later given proper names in the comics.>Dairanger = Squadron (StarForce in casting sides)>Maskman = Lightning (Originally Blitz in series)>Flashman = Prism>Changeman = Blitz >Fiveman = Supersonic>Dynaman = Battalion
Spit on all PR enjoyers
>>23671759They should've just gone super lazy (well, even lazier) and called them>Power Rangers Dai Force>Power Rangers Mask Force>Power Rangers Change Force>Power Rangers Dyna ForceEtc.
>>23672574I think that's basically what Korea does when they dub Sentai.
>>23666321he likes yugioh though
So apparently the Ninja Kidz thing has been cancelled. I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand, the fact that they were using AI sucks and they deserved the backlash they got over that. On the other hand, it's almost always fun to see PR fan films, so it's a shame to hear that this one has been killed off. Especially since it actually had Zedd, Goldar, etc. and wasn't just "five/six people in perfect MMPR cosplay vs. one guy in a cheap Halloween mask."
Hug all PR enjoyers
Hug all PR enjoyers who love Sentai and spit on all PR enjoyers who hate Sentai
>>23672574I'd take Dai Force over fucking Squadron anyday.
>>23670187>No Disney Era cameos even when they were available.This was revenge for Once a Ranger supposedly.
>>23673104the commercial?
>>23657533Yeah but he also has to shoe horn in segments where he blurts out his love of faggots and troons
