It was my all time favorite show as a kid and was one of the most popular and successful action shows for kids, but now it's completely dead. What the hell happened?
Ryuki has great suits.
>>223184305Never seen it but that Kamen Rider Dragon Knight show is a complete oddity, came right out of no where, and to air alongside Power Rangers RPM is some ridiculously good timing.
>>223184200They ran out of japanese footage and it's a 30 year old show.
>>223184348They've tried and fail twice to get a new reboot off the ground, first at Netflix and then at Disney. Even when trying original footage it just fails, kinda sad honestly, especially when it got 'cancelled' like three separate times only to immediately return.
>>223184200>What the hell happened?Saban sold it to Hasbro like 6 years ago and since then Hasbro has repeatedly fumbled getting another series off the ground. They got like one season on Netflix of a show. Then they tried to get Disney to fund another show. Disney told them to fuck off. Basically they want someone else to pay for it, absorb all the costs of hosting the content and streaming it on their platform and for Hasbro to profit just because they hold the IP. Also to make things worse it seems the japanese are hip to their bullshit and wont sell them footage from any of their newer super sentai series. So if you want more Rangers you better go watch the original japanese series that are still being pumped out
>>223184603Yeah, people absolutely loathed Saban and Bandai back in 2018, but selling PR to Hasbro was a mistake in the end. The guy in Hasbro who wanted it had big plans but literally died only a few years after it was sold, and now nobody in the higher-ups at Hasbro knows what the fuck to do with it nor do they really want it, but at the same time they can't sell it because nobody wants it. I think the 2017 movie bombing marked the end of the franchise, Saban put all it's cards into the movie's success because they probably wanted to slowly step away from the show and focus on big budget movies for PR, but that didn't work out so selling to Hasbro was the back-up plan.
>>223184200>What the hell happenedmore than 30 years
>>223184603> So if you want more Rangers you better go watch the original japanese series that are still being pumped outKindaWithout the American licensing money they decided to roll back their Sentai series for a more reserved Gavan reboot with less characters in the cast and less mecha. US money was helping Sentai in weak years for a while.
>>223184603>the japanese are hip to their bullshitWell fuck it took those morons decades to get it lmao
dunno man it's crazy how this show dropped off, what the fuck happened??
>>223186379Stop samefagging you brown faggot
It's dead in Japan too. They tried to have like 3 anniversary versions in a row and killed interest
>>223186379It's been a slow death by a thousand cuts for decades.Haim Saban partnered with Fox to own the Family Channel. They got an offer from Disney to buy out the channel and Saban took it. This included all of Saban's TV production assets. Disney didn't really want them but were convinced to keep Power Rangers running. Disney in the 2000's started focusing way more on girl's properties so PR was an afterthought. They did some good series but the ratings stagnated due to poor marketing and bad timeslots(last show on Saturday mornings, the prempted for sports slot) until they got cancelled.Saban comes back out of nowhere and buys the property back. He even manages to sell the show to Nick, and for a couple years the show did well even though the shows were increasingly worse even for PR standards. Most people under 30 would probably be oblivious to this unless you had a younger sibling or a kid, but Power Rangers Samurai around 2013 was probably the most successful the show had been since the 90's ended, or about the early 2000s(Time Force allegedly did very well too)But Nick had this bizarre demand that each series have less episodes per year and two seasons. This threw off the whole pattern of adaptations they had since they were basically using all of the prior year's JP footage since 1996. It meant they'd skip every other year of Japanese series which strained the relationship with Toei. Scheduling bullshit also became an issue since Nick, like Disney, wanted to sell their live action stuff more to girls than boys. Then Hasbro bought it and like>>223184687summed it up, it basically became a hot potato no one wants to deal with. It's basically an IP carried by having a few successful years scattered. Not enough of a bomb to completely drop, but not successful to be evergreen like Transformers.In all fairness it probably is more a viable franchise than GI Joe or He-man, but 80's kids have more money than 90's or 2000's kids have, or ever will have.
>>223184200Have you tried watching it recently? If you have fond childhood memories I wouldn't recommend it. Better to remember it fondly.
>>223186662I'm watching it now on youtube. It's still good. Movie is absolute kino with a great soundtrack
>>223186662rewatching I realized that Lord Zed is completey innocent and a rape victim. Rita gave him a love potion that made him marry her. She's a rapistAlso Tanya is a kid. She's a kid put in a grown up body. Anyone attracted to her is a pedo.
>>223184200My 5 year old son got into it with me. I just put it on for shit and giggles and he was hooked. My 3 year old daughter also gets into but I think she just does it to play with us. He calls himself the red ranger, just like I did, red > green. He says I'm the green ranger and we "fight". When I get the upper hand he morphs and I let him over power me. He started kinder this year and I got him a MMPR backpack that target carried, it's pretty cool. He loved it when he got it and emphasizes the "MY" backpack when talking about it. I bought him the toy line of the dinozords that combine into the megazord if you have all 5. We have little plastic mask of the red and green that we wear and beat Rita (my wife) while she's cooking or cleaning. Shit is cash, bros.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>223187749modern kids show are geared towards millennial trannies, not kids. It's no wonder kids like older kids shows.
I don't think you can make kids give a fuck about PR these days and if they want to appeal to adults they have to make it edgy and that would be retarded. They should have tried a Lord Drakkon show when Tommy was alive that might have worked because I do think there was a successful show in there somewhere with the old cast but it's too late
>>223184687>I think the 2017 movie bombingI still hate this cinematic travesty so much. Literally in the middle of the MCU being bright and colorful and silly and comic book-y as possible and making trillions of dollars, and these dipshits make an "early 2000s, embarrassed of the source material" piece of shit. They actually looked at the grimdark James Van Der Beek PR short film as inspiration instead of the spoof that it was where the whole joke was "grimdark PR is a dumb idea."
>>223188517The movie wasn't grimdark but all your issues was because Saban cheapened the shit out of that movie.
>>223184319>Never seen it but that Kamen Rider Dragon Knight showI fucking hate you faggots.
>>223186322That Gavan show ended months ago.
>>223188554>The movie wasn't grimdarkDude. Rita kills a hobo, Trini's parents hate her because she's gay, and Kimberly revenge-porns a classmate. None of those have anything to do with the budget.
>>223188614>Rita kills a hobo, Trini's parents hate her because she's gayI hate Power Rangers but both of those things are based.
>>223188614None of that is grimdark. Rita also dances in a krispy kreme donuts shop. There are tons of campy scenes in the movie. It's nothing like that edgy short. A bad guy killing someone doesn't make it edgy it establishes them as being bad
So yeah it's been a while since the last History of Power Rangers, as such I need to address a couple of things that have cropped up. Yes, I'm aware of the David Yost interview. Yes, I'm aware Power Rangers Samurai is coming to Nickelodeon in 2011. Yes, I will continue to do History of Power Rangers through that series once it concludes. Now many of you have been very patient in waiting for these videos, and for that I’m very grateful. Others of you have not been so patient to the point where I’m actually taking time out of this review to talk about it. Let me say this once again, since apparently it was not made clear when this video series began. History of Power Rangers has no set schedule. Videos are done when they’re done and will be released when they’re done. In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been more than a little busy the last few months. If you haven’t noticed, wake up already! I attended Power MorphiCon, FallCon, did a very complicated ending to an episode of Atop the Fourth Wall, released additional videos in October beyond my regular workload, did my regular workload, which consists of an episode of Atop the Fourth Wall every week despite conventions and other difficulties, one of those difficulties being moving into an apartment. In addition to that people don’t seem to realize how much work actually goes into these videos. Here’s the process, I watch the entire series which, for those of you at home, is around 40 episodes at 20 minutes each. That’s roughly 13 hours straight, if I was watching them all in one day. Which I’m not. Oh, but it gets better. Because I also am writing up a synopsis of the important plot points of the season, as well as writing down character notes, themes, et cetera, et cetera. Which means I’m pausing the episodes so I can write.
Once the season is completed, I have to finish my notes and analysis. And then, I watch the next season and repeat the process. Yes, I had to finish watching Ninja Storm before I recorded the Wild Force review. Why? So I don’t let my immediate feelings about it be the ones that I write. I give it time to settle and see how much of it is memorable. It helps the analysis and judgement of the series. And on top of all of that, I then have to record it and edit it all down to a few videos for your consumption. And oh yes, I need to also have my own life outside of it. So when will the next History of Power Rangers be out? When it’s done. I’m sorry if I’m coming across as ungrateful or needlessly angry, since I’m not. I love that you all care about this series, and I’m doing everything in my power to get it done. But it’s not easy and it doesn’t happen overnight. Asking me when the next one is going to come is not making it get done any faster. I have warned you all before that I’m in unfamiliar territory now, and it’s harder for me to skip through stuff that I’ve never seen before. And I appreciate offers of people to point out what’s filler and what isn’t, but I have to make that evaluation for myself. And please, please, please avoid spoilers or telling me, “avoid this season, it sucks.” It’s History of Power Rangers, not History of Power Rangers, Except for this Season or this Season. Every season will be watched, everything evaluated, everything will be given a fair chance to impress or disappoint. Like I said, I haven’t watched these seasons before and I want the chance to be surprised by things that happen. Stop telling me what’s going to happen, you’re only going to piss me off. The thing is, I want to have fun while I’m doing this. Constantly badgering me for the next videos does not equal fun, it makes it a chore for me and if it becomes a chore for me I will be disinclined to work on it.
And with all of that said, let’s get to Wild Force already.
Let it rest for a bit. Three decades is a good run it must have like 1000 episodes. Somebody will bring it back either in the east or west give it a few years.
>>223188781Some old IPs should just show up randomly in other IPs like in fortnite and a special guest in a fighting game or a skin in another game. That's what PR should be now.
>>223188675It's all about intent and context, anon. I'm not saying people can't die in a proper PR movie (notice I didn't mention Rita killing Billy). But there's a difference between people dying as Rita or Zedd send giant monsters to attack the planet, or Zordon doing a heroic sacrifice, and Rita (who at this point in the movie is coming off more "meth addict" than "empress of evil") murdering a lone hobo in a dark alley because... he just happened to be there, I guess. In the context of what should be a proper Power Rangers movie? Yes, that is very much tryhard edgelord grimdark.
>>223188831If you want to make the argument that there are some darker elements compared to an episode of the OG power rangers then yes there are some. The movie is not edgy and grim dark as a whole though that's just absurd. Power Rangers RPM wasn't edgy and grim dark because it took place in a post apocalyptic world where most of the planet died. Murder or strict traditional parents does not make something edgy how fucking stupid are you?
>>223188831>Rita (who at this point in the movie is coming off more "meth addict" than "empress of evil") murdering a lone hobo in a dark alley because... he just happened to be there, I guess.Another thought... What is this establishing, exactly? That Rita is capable of killing a single, defenseless person? Oooh, how dangerous. Clearly, we need a team of superheroes and a fleet of giant mechs to overcome this cosmic-level threat.
>>223188931Before the movie came out around the apex of woke the cast talked about the sequel (lol) and how Tommy didn't have to be a man and could be a woman and that's the moment where I knew I would never pay to watch it.
>>223184200Tomy died and the dream ended anon. Besides the show was over when the Zordon era came to an end. Anything after that are just bad cashgrabs.
>>223189238Power Rangers was shit long before JDF died.Also he was a piece of shit. Glad he's dead.
Sometimes things that were once good dies. That's ok. That's life. We need to stop chasing highs and bringing old shit back.
>>223184603>the original japanese series that are still being pumped outWho's gonna tell him?
>>223188614I seem to have missed a few things.This was the first MMPR movie?Like, 30 years ago movie?>>223188675What in the fucking fuck?What movie did I watch?Did I miss something?Trini was never in a Power Rangers movie.Neither was Thuy Trang.What fucking timeline am I in?
>>223188614Is the MCU that kiddified that you find those things grimdark? Damn. Glad I never watched that shit.
>>223187169Am I wrong for thinking the White Ranger and Black Ranger have the best looking outfits in this pic?I'd include Green Ranger, but we never got a stylized, armored Green Ranger suit like this.The Sentai Green Ranger Suit with the hard gold chestpiece, not the flappy fabric one beats the brakes off of 90% of Ranger suits.
I'm the one who was confused about Trini being a lesbian and Rita murdering a hobo.I just now rediscovered that there was a 2017 Power Rangers movie.With Billy from Stranger Things?I have a vague memory from 2017 hearing about a new Power Rangers movie, but I thought it was "Whatever Curent Version of Power Rangers" made for tv.I saw that Power/Rangers video put out by Adi Shankar a few years before that, and, hate me if you want, I liked it. I mean, fantastic premise, with a nasty twist at the end. And, grimdark as fuck.Welp. Looks like I am going to watch 2017 Power Rangers. I have a six pack and some weed.Beer will last me the movie, pretty sure. Weed much longer.I'll be back to give a review later.I don't like Bill Hader and I don't like Elizabeth Banks. Dacre better fucking carry this movie.It does have Bryan Cranston as Zordon, and that is fantastic.All those other shits I don't know who they are.
>>2231897952017 Power Rangers movie you retard.
>>223189795This movie, anon.
>>223184200
>>223190318Yeah, I fucking figured it out.I wasn't in the US for any of it's advertisements. For two years, and I had forgotten about it before I got back.Seriously, only marvel shit gets promoted in other countries.>>223190642Yeah, it's starting awkward. I don't know if it's the writing or the actors yet. Special effects aren't bad.

>>223184687Hasbro has little interest outside of making nostalgia shit for adults these days. It's also why they only really churned out more 1993 MMPR season 1 merch. Their business model is Transformers, GI:Joe, and Magic cards for collectors.
>>223190885This is just millennials who can't move on with their lives so they have to keep digging up old slang and threads and memes. That is an issue but a completely unrelated one
The only iteration of it that was truly successful was MMPR and that's been dredged over for merchandise so many times that there really is no point.The only other option is to completely start from scratch and no one wants to incur that cost.
>>223190911There have been others. In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force and Samurai all did well
>>223188614the civilian side was the best part though
>>223188713Time Force is better and more iconic
>>223190863I'm not. I'm using it exactly as it was intended. You Tiktok brained turds get mad because you idiots think the end of a sentence is the end of an idea. It's not.You have no idea of correlation, speech, grammar, narrative, or paragraph building.Hell, the only way you can spell any of those words is with google AI verbally telling you each letter to say.The only reason any word in your sentence has words in the correct order is because AI translated your words into "Worksafe Speech Approved By Amazon".And the people that program those computers are considered retarded by US standards.
>>223190946damn look at how dark and gritty this is
>>223188614I'm not sure what was going on there when they took the happiest, most upbeat inspirational kids in school, and turned them all into troubled weird fucks for that movie.
>>223190946No krispy kreme has metal forks. Black people would steal them and use them to stab people if they did

>>223191028I just saw that part.Silverware in a Krispy Kreme?And why the fuck are Blue and Black Ranger swapped?I know that Walt Jones WANTED to be the Black Ranger.Fuck it, give that same drive to the new one.(I do realize that this is when the woke idiots were doing their bullshit).
>>223184200Saban refused to pay his actors despite him making multimillions. Jason, Zack, and Trini left. They replaced them and expected us to be okay with it and we were like fuck this. Tommy ended up carrying the show afterward and it basically became the Tommy show. They eventually brought Jason back and it helped. Finally they started making new series and it worked for a while, but that eventually fell off.
>>223191130have to be born pretty though
>>223191056You're missing a lot of punctuation and coherence in your writing.Are you one of those retarded covid kids that just got passed on to the next grade or five years straight until you received a virtual diploma in an online graduation attended through Zoom yet all of the attendees wore masks in their own bedrooms?Are you that kid?The one that the teachers all secretly agreed to pass just so they would have to look at your fucktarded face again next year?That's you.
>>223191210It's funny how they all shit talk Saban at conventions at being the most jewish producer
>>223184200It's tokusatsu, basically it's something else to appeal to the Japanese public. The strange thing is that it has been so successful in the West.
>>223191261killyour selfboomer
>>223191295You.First.Tranny.
>>223191018The writers put on one episode of MMPR, got as far as the opening where Zordon says "teenagers with attitude," then turned it off and said "I know everything about this show I could possibly need!"
>>223191312Youareanoldpatheticloser
>>223184305Honestly, they look so good. I can't really think of one I straight up don't like.
it wasn’t popular, it was just extremely cheap to make and very profitable, as the japs did 90% of the work. But since the japs don’t sell their footage anymore, it would no longer be extremely cheap to make.
>>223190873People got tired of Power Rangers after like 5 years.No one even remembers there was shit past MMPR.
>>223191564>it wasn’t popularzoom zoom
>>223190755need to replace bootleg with goldar
>>223191530I disagree with every word posted in that picture.Yet, I will give American Power Rangers ten years from the start of the show in the US to pretty much total disinterest.
>>223191564japs ruined Sentai as well
I think power rangers is done BUT you can do more with the spirit of the show which is a crazy fusion of Japanese and American culture
>>223191659I don't see the difference.
>>223191687everything became cheap plastic that autistically screamed phrases
>>223191804So you mean exactly what the Japanese kids wanted.
>>223191839toy sales went off a cliff so obviously not. They cut out the group combined weapons and sidearms because those toys were never selling. Sometimes they even combined the morphers and zords as one and sales still were shit.
>>223191884Japan doesn't sell "morphers" and "zords".
>>223191687>I don't see the difference.Top is a single piece toy. Bottom is 8 different pieces that are sold separately that you need to collect. Each piece costs extra.The later shows became hyper focused on the toys and milking children for as much money as possible. Entire storylines in the show focused on the toy. It took over.
>>223192033Well kids love that shit.Its why Gokaiger sold like fucking hotcakes. Every kid wanted to get their favorite Ranger Key.
>>223192081That's why Sentai was canceled.1 or 2 pieces is fine like in Gokaiger.8 pieces is ridiculous. Kids got sick of it.
>>223191910shut the fuck up weeb, you will never have a jap gf
>>223192081If everything is like Gokaiger, then nothing is. They kept trying to copy the sucess of Gokaiger over and over, anniversary themed, transform into rangers of other sentai, collectable bullshit, the last time they tried it canceled the show.
>>223192158>That's why Sentai was canceledFirst of all Sentai is on hiatus like Rider in the 90s. Its not canceled.Second it didn't go on hiatus because of toy sales. It went on hiatus because of declining viewership.>>223192417>transform into rangers of other sentaiThey literally did that once recently. And it was quite a well received season.
>>223192626>They literally did that once recently. And it was quite a well received season.it got sentai cancelled you retard, it was a failure
>>223192768>it got sentai cancelledNo it didn't.One single thing didn't get Sentai canceled. It was a multitude of things.
>>223192621What in the hell.We got a fake trini and a fake kimberly with 2nd jason and 60 year old zack?Along with the billy who finally decided to stop pretending to be straight and finally admit that he gobbles knobs for fun?
>>223192823it was literally the last sentai. Some weebo youtuber saying it was good does not mean it was well received
>>223192934>Along with the billy who finally decided to stop pretending to be straight and finally admit that he gobbles knobs for fun?he mentions his hot alien fish wife but never goes back to her
All these different rangers, the OG ones, in space, time force, SPD, etc should have all taken place at the same time and be treated like different military arms. You could have matured power rangers into more like low budget sci fi like old school star gate
>>223192945It was well received because it had higher viewership than many recent series.You know literally nothing about Sentai. Have you even watched any seasons?
>>223191839Evidently not since sales fell for sentai
>>223192967Look, I was proudly a 'teenager" by the virtue of turning thirteen right around the time this show was becoming mainstream in the 90s.I knew Billy was gay back then. I was just a dumb kid and thought the actor was portraying Billy to be gay and that just meant more chicks for everyone else. I didn't care that Billy was a fag, it just took another decade before I randomly caught a Power Rangers clip on youtube or something when I realized that the actor and Billy were basically the same person.He fucked a fish?
>>223193087Sales went through the roof during Gokaiger what are you smoking.
>>223193085>It was well received because it had higher viewership than many recent series.Ok sensei, bring up the viewership numbers. Was it only for the first few episodes before falling off a cliff? Because an anniversary season builds up a lot of hype initially but then people lose interest when it turns out it was a pointless gimmick and the series is complete shit?
>>223193176pic is from Donbros, not Gokaiger you retard
>>223193194Donbros was a great season tho. One of the best.
>>223193104He had aging problems and had to go to Naboo to fix it. There he married a fish woman.
>>223193223Only because of Onisister. The plot went out the window when the parrot's VA got fired and they changed it.
>>223193179>Was it only for the first few episodes before falling off a cliff?Actually it started off low then rose.
>>223193297Onisister was great.Its been a while since i watched Donbros but I don't remember parrot character?
>>223193349Gege, the parrot always hanging around the big face villain. Theory is he was supposed to be revealed to be the actual final boss. Then VA was fired for cheating on his wife, and the plot changed to introduce this "God" evil character randomly.
>>223193315keep lying
>>223188554if the movie just had more money it would still be shit
>>223193438I'm not. But you've never watched any Sentai. So you wouldn't know.>>223193415Oh fair. The villains of donbros are not what stuck in my head from that series.
>>223193520>better writers>better cast>less obvious hidden ads>more morphed scenesobjectively wrong
>>223187169my problem with the movie is that theyre barely in the suits, majority of the time its them out of it when they built these new cinematic suits just for the movie but theres only a few scenes with it>>223193596oh i had thought you meant keeping the cast, script and designs exactly the same in this scenario, sure if you changed all that then it would objectively be better
>>223192626>First of all Sentai is on hiatusThat's just another word for canceled. Something softer to avoid admitting cancelation.
>>223193635Because the suits they built were terrible and fell apart at the drop of a hat.
>>223193635all of that was like that way because it was a small budget. The director was a literally who that barely did anything for example but was cheap
>>223193070>All these different rangers, the OG ones, in space, time force, SPD, etc should have all taken place at the same time and be treated like different military arms.They KIND OF do that? Ever since Forever Red it's vaguely implied that the various Ranger teams keep in touch and do missions together, and the last ten or so years REALLY lean into the concept.
>>223193656Screenshotting this post for when Sentai returns in say, a decade like Rider. Or Gavan.
>>223193635>my problem with the movie is that theyre barely in the suits, majority of the time its them out of itThis is bizarrely an issue with all three PR movies. If they made a Batman or Spider-Man movie where Bruce or Peter wore their suit that little, people would throw a fit. And those are heroes that get movies all the time. I don't know why PR movies keep treating the suits and Zords and powers as something to eventually build up to instead of something to spend the entire film enjoying.
>>223193689>vaguely impliedyeah I obviously was asking for more than "vaguely implied". It's ok you don't have to reply to ever post you see "whatabout whatabout whatabout" when you know that's not what I was talking about
>>223193741>yeah I obviously was asking for more than "vaguely implied".Actually, no, you sounded like someone who doesn't watch the show all that much and was asking why the teams don't just all help out all the time.
>>223193773>be me>talk about wanting an expanded universe Power Rangers show that shows Rangers from all the different Rangers faction>be anon>brown>probably a 3rd world European>very replies he makes is a whataboutism because that's all his low IQ can come up with>"akshually it is vaguely implied that they talk about it being a shared world">this has nothing to do with what I said
>>223193635>my problem with the movie is that theyre barely in the suits, majority of the time its them out of it when they built these new cinematic suits just for the movie but theres only a few scenes with it>"Originally, the crew felt that the total covering of the Power Rangers' faces removed any ability to express emotion, so initial shooting took place using the actors in costume with no visors on the helmets. However, they realized that this was a mistake and realized that the Power Rangers in Morphed Mode are not supposed to show emotion, but rather were supposed to be a powerful fighting force and that their identities had to be concealed. To correct the error, the action scenes were re-shot the next month with the visors added back."
>>223193916>However, they realized that this was a mistake and realized that the Power Rangers in Morphed Mode are not supposed to show emotionThis is the dumbest shit I've ever read.Sentai never had a problem showing emotion in suit.
I've always been fascinated by this obscure charmingly chintzy Rangers rip-off, produced by a couple of Second City veterans. They have no Japanese footage to use and no budget. No location shooting. All of Beverly Hills is represented by exactly three sets. All the repetitious monster fight scenes are on one big set constantly re-dressed but always recognizable as the same locale. They had rehearsals on Monday, then shot one and a quarter episodes per day for the rest of the week. For me, the superheroics are unwatchable, but the scenes with the high school kids -- all played by unconvincing twentysomethings -- held my interest partly because the cast and crew (and the slumming comedy writers) are struggling to do the best they can, on a shoestring, with such a contrived formulaic premise.
>>223193697Yeah... if it takes a decade to bring the show back, we call that a reboot after cancelation.
>>223194437No one refers to Rider that way.
>>223193916JDF at his height and weight during this movie was five pounds less and half an inch taller than me.I'm not bragging. I am analyzing.I have fucked Amy Jo Johnson sized chicks. Fantastic.The high yellow next to the White Ranger?Vagina height.You go squat goblin chase that smelly thing.
>>223194310This show had some funny pokes at the genre like the one episode where the main baddy goes on vacation and his second in command is in charge and instead of sending one monster at a time keeps sending more and almost wins but the main guy comes back and goes back to the old formula
>>223193635>>223193916>>223193959The problem was that Saban hired cheaper Australian staff and crew members to make the 1990s Power Ranger movie. None of these Australian crew members worked on Power Rangers in America. That's why they were so stupid and made mistakes like in that picture.
>>223194478His jewness certainly knows no bounds.
>>223184348>They ran out of japanese footagepretty sure japan airs 50 new episodes a year with new costumes and all
>>223194636This confuses and angers the PRtard.Sentai ran every single week for 50 years.There was no 6 month break between seasons.Week in, week out for 50 years.
>>223184348>>223194636They wanted to do original costumes
>>223194808And they look like shit because America can't design good original costumes.
>>223194808And they only did so because they thought 9 rangers was too many members for a team
>>223194450>No one refers to Rider that way.Lmao. They absolutely did during the 1990s after Kamen Rider Black RX finished. The Japanese media regularly said the show was terminated or ended. Toei producer Shinichiro Shirakura said they had to pull Kamen Rider out of the grave when m making Kuuga. They called it a franchise revival from death.
>>223194869>And they look like shit because America can't design good original costumes.Not true. The Japanese were just being greedy gatekeepers and knowledge hoarding. There are several interviews from Power Ranger costume designers. They talk about how they wanted to be authentic to the Japanese Sentai footage. So the American costume designers repeatedly requested that Toei and Japan please share the blueprints on the Super Sentai Costumes and the material they used to make the fabric. Japan and Toei actually refused.
>>223194927>The Japanese media regularly said the show was terminated or endedThey literally did not because Rider kept having movies and OAVs that whole time.
>>223195026>Japan and Toei actually refusedYou know why? Cause when Saban asked for that stuff and they obliged, it either got sold to random people or they destroyed it. I'm looking at you, American Dragon Shield.
>>223195142>They literally did notAre you stupid?Do you not understand what the word "literally" means? The 1990s Japanese newspapers and magazines used the term themselves.
>>223195187So post some.
>>223195168Whatever story you've been told is wrong. American Power Rangers Video Editors have said they were often sent pretty low quality sentai footage on old video tapes despite requesting higher quality footage.American Power Ranger costume designers were regularly denied access to blueprints and material. American Stunt teams have said many costumes and props arrived from Japan in very rough and poor condition. Some were falling apart and nearly unusable. They had to coordinate with the costume department to do emergency repairs right before filming episodes. The Japanese did NOT take care of their costumes and props.>You know why? Cause when Saban asked for that stuff and they obliged, it either got sold to random people or they destroyed it. I'm looking at you, American Dragon ShieldThis is not petty high school drama. American Power Rangers was paying Toei hundreds of millions of dollars each year in fees. When you have a business partner that gives you that much money, then you fucking help them when they ask for help. Especially if their requests are reasonable.
>>223195292Why do you keep saying "American Power Rangers"?
>>223195345Because the Japanese actually reverse imported Power Rangers back into Japan and aired it on TV with a Japanese dub. It gained a following and Japanese fans actually enjoyed it. Then Toei quickly didn't want Power Rangers to compete with Super Sentai and stopped showing Power Rangers in Japan.I am referring to the version that aired in America. Not Japan.
>>223195345To avoid confusion with Korean Power Rangers.
>>223195403>It gained a following and Japanese fans actually enjoyed itNo it didn't. This is a PRtard myth.It aired on a pay channel no one has in the middle of the night. Yes some neets watched it. But not very many. 99% of Japan isn't even aware that Power Rangers exists.
>>223195168The dragon shield broke during shipping. Toei was weird about giving them things. Before the 2000s anniversaries it would be rare they use Robo suits after 5 years and monster suits were trashed usually so the monster suits were commonly shipped over. More delicate props often broke like the dragon shield. Even in the last few seasons Toei let them have a bunch of monster suits from unused Sentai series because they were getting rid of them.
>>223195403>Because the Japanese actually reverse imported Power Rangers back into Japan and aired it on TV with a Japanese dub. It gained a following and Japanese fans actually enjoyed itthat's so fucking bizarre. Any idea why they liked it?
>>223195459They didn't.
>>223195492I didn't ask you retard
>>223195513Like I give a shit who you asked.No one watched that shit.
>>223195534I didn't ask you fuck off
>>223195550You fuck off PRtard.
>>223195440Lol. Look how mad you got
>>223195621>madI just telling the truth.No one watched Power Rangers in Japan.Literally the most recognition it ever got was being mentioned in Akibaranger.
>>223195565>autist NEET incel actually comes to a power rangers thread to bitch about PR and push Sentai which most PR fans at best like at worst just don't care abouthow pathetic is your life?
>>223195674Its doing pretty fine right now.Just got done watching this week's Rider.Enjoying a good evening of gaming and telling PRfags how shitty their show is.
>>223195459>that's so fucking bizarre. Any idea why they liked it?Original anon here. There were several interviews with Toei staff and fans during that time discussing this. I read many of them. Basically the Japanese were fascinated at how the Americans combined high school drama TV shows with Super Sentai elements to create an ongoing story. The Japanese specifically said it's like the Americans combined "Beverely Hills 90210" with Super Sentai and somehow made it work very well. And also that the Americans stretched these drama stories across multiple Power Rangers seasons using Sentai footage from multiple Sentai seasons. No one had thought to do this before. The Japanese called it "fascinating to watch" . Toei Producers said they watched Power Rangers closely, and took notes on what the Americans did better than them. Especially when it came to drama and writing.
>>223195713I doubt it if this is how you spend your time defending the honor of Sentai which no one is attacking and pushing off topic shit. Get your shit together loser
>>223195743>Get your shit together loser>he says while posting in a PR thread, a show for literal babbies
>>223195735Thanks that sounds really interesting. The Japanese really do like watching our versions of their IPs like they poked fun at the 90's Mega Man cartoon but enjoyed it still when it came there recently. Thanks for that interesting info unlike this angry incel manchild >>223195757
>>223195735"fascinating to watch" is what my therapist tells me sometimes. certainly the nicest way to put it, i guess
>>223195735You have any proof to back that up?
>>223195836You only get "show me proof" request per day. You already used yours.
When I was a kid I thought Haim Saban was a japanese name.
>>223196215i thought it was a sandwich
>>223196170That's what I thought. You have no proof.
>>223196456Take a picture of yourself holding a note to the camera with timestamp begging me for proof. Maybe then I'll consider it.
>>223196499No point in that when I know you don't have any.
>>223196575>Backs out when stakes are on the line. Typical. You can't even offer me the most basic amusement.
>>223196215When I was a kid I remember catching "Toei" at the end of one episode, but I thought it'd said "Toho," and for a while after that I thought a "Godzilla vs. Power Rangers" crossover was inevitable.
>>223190946I didn't realize pink was the gross bitch from Smile 2.
>>223194869You don't like the ironman suits?
>>223195026it's fucking latex, how hard is it?
>>223195836Japs copied over battlizers and improved their moprhing sequences
>>223196744she fell off
>>223187169I hated these outfits as a kid.They looked too bulky and shiny, the heads look massive on their shoulders.They got rid of Pink's skirt so she just looks a man in a pink suit. They could have fixed Yellows lack of skirt as well since for some reason Jap's find yellow to be a masculine color despite the movie acknowledging the Aisha is a a woman.The armor suits look plasticy.
>>223196748I hate that Yellow, Black, and Blue ALL look like the pterodactyl helmet, and even Red is kinda beak-y, honestly.
>>223196748No I think they look like shit.
>>223196786Apparently no one liked Battlizers cause they never did it again.
>>223196843No it's that they didn't have the budget to do it again
>>223184200>What the hell happened?the characters didnt mature with the audience
>>223196843They did though
>>223196920>only ever appears in one crossover movie>t-they didn't do it again because of budget really!!
>>223196806I really don't understand why they keep trying to make armor. Sentai came from Kame Rider, which was inspired by Spiderman. Fucking Spiderman always had tights and Hollywood has done amazing Spiderman outfits for years. Just do the same and give him a helmet, it's not that fucking hard.
>>223196976That's not a battlizer.That's literally just a super mode. Something they have in every series going back decades before Americans even invented "battlizers".
What are your thoughts on the comic rangers?
>>223197015My thoughts are you should ask >>>/co/.
>>223197009Same fucking thing.
>>223197030If its the same fucking thing, then Japan did not copy from America because Japan made it first.You can't have it both ways.
>>223197050they literally imported over the SPD battlizer becaues they liked it
>>223197100For one crossover movie and then never used it again.I can only assume because no one liked it.Why didn't they bring it back for the Dekaranger movie they did?
all they have to do is retcon the zords and they can print 6 billion just make it so 18 year olds get alien tech and powersthey report to an alien in cryosleep but is astral projecting who has a non retard robot butler
>>223195735>Especially when it came to drama and writing.I can barely count the number of times Power Rangers had drama as good as Sentai. And I'll give credit but I dont think they did it better.>Andross's plot>Green with Evil (kind of)>Titanium Ranger>Brainwashing Zeo RedIf there's episodic episodes of Adam getting his heart broken or something I can't be bothered to check for it.Don't talk to me about Galaxy, Time Force, and even Wild Force they copy pasted thier homework so hard
>>223197116>For one crossover movie and then never used it again.>I can only assume because no one liked it.Because the battleizers are all made after the JP series finishes it's run. The US side paid PLEX to design them for US footage. It's an extra expense that the JP side is unlikely to bother with since budgets are already tight for Sentai. JP fans are unlikely to demand them because they're unlikely to see the US side much...the target audience being kids and all. >Why didn't they bring it back for the Dekaranger movie they did?You mean the ones 10/20 years later? The first one didn't even have the mecha, does that mean the mecha were unpopular? Most of the anniversary movies, especially the early ones, are more about the cast reunion and are lower budget. The priority is more about showing the characters that the arsenal.
>>223197143Kek
>>223197304>Don't talk to me about Galaxy,The whole Kendrix death was definitely not from Gingaman. Lost Galaxy is a weird example because they completely changed the setting compared to the JP one. The main thing they took was Bullblack/Magna Defender taking over Red's brother.
>>223197312>Because the battleizers are all made after the JP series finishes it's runYou realize they make post-series stuff right? Just recently they had a Dekaranger 10 years after. And they didn't use the battlizer at all.
>>223197360I actually forgot about her death. That was decent considering they were forced to do it spontaneously. But I was thinking about the brother dynamic and other one off episodes that were the same plots.
>>223197364>You realize they make post-series stuff right? Just recently they had a Dekaranger 10 years after....anon did you actually read my post?Also Dekaranger 10 years after was over 10 years ago. They just had the 20 year one. Tose were the first Dekaranger movies after the crossover that used the battleizer, and being 10, 20 years later, it's unknown just what condition that thing is even in, on top of being more budget to actually film with it. Battleizers were cumbersome to film with which is why they rarely used them in the US footage
>>223197461No I didn't read your entire post. Its a filthy habit but I can't change. I'm old.Anyway why didn't any of the other series ever use American battlizers again? Practically every PR season had em, but that SPD one was the only one that ever got used in Japan.
>>223184603>Also to make things worse it seems the japanese are hip to their bullshit and wont sell them footage from any of their newer super sentai series.I don't know why weebs think Saban used arcane Jewish magic to steal sentai from Japan. It was a business agreement and one they took part in, sending their own directors and stunt actors over to work on episodes, and having their design house PLEX work on the US original designs. In turn Koichi Sakamoto(who started his career in the US, not Japan) would go on to be a big part of Toei tokusatsu since the 2000s, and money made in the US would cycle back to the JP side.There's a French documentary about Saban that briefly shows him discussing Lightspeed Rescue with a Toei representative and they're on very friendly termshttps://youtu.be/ILQT1B9RoCU?si=JBq0TuxtR6mNDgQn&t=132What spoiled the whole thing was partly Nick forcing the seasons to be staggered, which left a bunch of seasons unadapted, and ESPECIALLY Hasbro buying the license because Bandai used the toy sales to funnel back into Japan. But unless Toei/Bandai finds another licensor to localize Project RED/Gavan Infinity, that's unlikely to leave Japan since Toei never works on dubs or localizations themselves. At best it'll get a sub like the latest Kamen rider.
>>223197632They skipped a bunch of seasons too.I guess they felt ToQger was too Japanese to adapt or something. Cause Americans don't like trains?
>>223197632>Toei never works on dubs or localizationsGood? Localizations are absolute cancer.I would rather that shit never leave Japan than get "localized".
>>223197513>Anyway why didn't any of the other series ever use American battlizers again?again, you didn't read my post. >Because the battleizers are all made after the JP series finishes it's run.At best they can be used for the crossover movies if it's finished in time AND can be shipped back from either LA or NZ depending on the era.. Shipping big, bulky suits like that is risky, and setting up stunts for them tends to be pricey, which is why they were barely used in Power Rangers. Later JP series would use similar power up for reds.Remember it's still PLEX designers like Tsuyoshi Nonaka who designed the battleizers for PR, so they'd incorporate some elements into the JP series too.
>>223197667>Cause Americans don't like trains?Unless it's Thomas toys aimed at autistic kids or expensive models for boomers, no, not really.It doesn't help that the mecha for Toqger was really, really ugly. A lot of Sentai designs from the 2010s were pretty lame, which probably didn't help. They adapted the ones that generally worked, like Dinos and Ninjas, although
>>223197803So what you're saying is Sentai never used a battlizer other than that SPD one that one time.Thanks for agreeing with me that the Japanese public doesn't like American designs.
>>223197845>It doesn't help that the mecha for Toqger was really, really uglyI liked it...ToQger was a damn good series.
>>223197706That's a fine opinion to have, but Toei and Bandai are in the business of selling a kids toyline to kids. A studio basically paying them money to use footage from a kid's show they never planned to do anything with after a year was a nice windfall. Like if a Japanese company wanted to pay money to license out a US public access show for whatever reason, do you think most TV execs would care about the integrity of that public access show in the dub? Hell no, it's money for product they made for a single market doubling with almost no effort on their part.
anyone who watched Power Rangers after that little elf nigga on the space shipopinion discarded
>>223197852>American designs.Does Nonaka sound like an American name to you anon?
I'd kill for an English dub of tokusatsu shows. . The target audience are kids around 3-6 and the bored out of their mind horny moms. I'd like children to enjoy it without worrying about being super quick to read. Pandering to adults with these established kid franchises should only be reserved for nostalgia bait movies (10 years/20 years/Once a Ranger/Forever Red)
>>223197872More power to you, but lets be real, is there any 2010s or 2000's Sentai mecha as cool as, say, GalaxyMega?
>>223197912>A studio basically paying them money to use footage from a kid's show they never planned to do anything with after a year was a nice windfall.Agreed. But Japs rarely care about what goes on outside Japan. They won't seek out people to release the show outside Japan. They will only wait for someone to come to them.
>>223197961>is there any 2010s or 2000's Sentai mecha as cool as, say, GalaxyMega?Easily.MagiKing is way better than that.
>>223197930I'll just point out that Utada Hikaru doesn't sound like an American name, but she is American.
>>223198007That’s 2000s anon…Well over 20 years oldI also wouldn’t say way better. It’s pretty cool though, Dekaranger also had great mecha. Not a fan of the heavily asymmetrical Abaranger or Hurricanger ones though
>>223198066You literally said 2010s or 2000s. So I posted a 2000s.Don't be bitter cause I played by your rules.
>>223198099Well I’m retarded and meant 2020s. Ah well.
>>223198116Fine. GokaiOh is better than the thing you posted.
>>223198234You know, not bad. I guess Gobusters is where I think the combined mecha go downhill. No idea why you don’t like or aren’t familiar with GalaxyMega though. It’s such a clean and striking design and its combo is cool.
>>223198292>No idea why you don’t like or aren’t familiar with GalaxyMega thoughBecause I don't watch Power Rangers and I don't remember what mech that is.
>>223198334I’ve been using the Japanese Sentai names since I figure there’s a lot of weebs here who would ackshually me otherwise. GalaxyMega is from Megaranger, which got adapted as Power Rangers in Space. There it’s called the Astro Megazord.
>>223198437Well I haven't watched Megaranger. One of the handful of shows in my backlog.
.
>>223198519There has to be more to that scandal than underage drinking.
>>223198553She fucked the main stunt coordinator who was married
>>223197845For a series about imagination the mechs are really unimaginative
>>223198633Lies>>223198553She was caught working a part time job at a night club being a waitress and serving drinks to customers. She never really drank herself. She claims she needed the money which draws attention to Super Sentai actors getting paid peanuts. Toei found this whole situation embarrassing because they do pay peanuts, fired her for "drinking", and tried to sweep it under the rug.
>>223198633Was there any confirmation to that? On /m/ it just seemed to be rumor.
>>223193916i think this couldve been interesting, maybe just keep the visors and have the mouths visible, like they have molded lips on the helmets anyway. Having both lips and eyes exposed wouldn't work in terms of trying to keep your identity secret
>>223195403im suprised they never dubbed rpm>>223195735> and took notes on what the Americans did better than them. Especially when it came to drama and writing.I assume not very much then
>>223197949>the bored out of their mind horny momsin what ways does the show try to target this demo im curious
>>223199107Because all the men they cast are pretty boys.
>>223197961Did they ever explain how the human made space shuttle magically just perfectly became it's head?
>>223198234I actually wish Gokaioh was more similar to Galaxy Mega and just be a single ship that transforms. The other mechs like the sub, racer, bulldozer whatever never come into play and are pretty pointless. The Galleon is the only one that matters
>>223198984It could have worked if they did the Ironman/Spiderman thing having a camera inside the helment
>>223199236It’s never stated but the usual theory is that Zordon somehow had NASADA have the shuttle ready in case of of emergency since the director recognized Zordon’s name. Andros also knew Zordon somehow.
Anyone have these?
>>223199289Zordon is famous across the galaxy so it kinda makes sense Andros knows him. But a key part of his mech being all the way on another planet makes no sense.
>>223199107The Odagiri Effect (オダギリ効果) is real. I don't know if Disney ever capitalized on it properly or if they just casted whatever New Zealander they could find, but the early 00s were a boom in Japanese media to just cast the most handsome men in important roles. That's another thing I really love about Sentai and all these tokusatsu shows is that they could be an amazing launching point for young actors. Power Rangers almost never bolstered anyone's career. >Amy Jo Johnson got some cop drama>Brandon Jay McLaren did decently>Johnny Young Bosch got luck with voice acting>Daniel Southworth honorable mention for being the Blue Devil May Cry guyand that's really all I can think of. It sucks. I imagine this is also just how shit it is to not be part of a union, which Saban Power Rangers is infamous for
>>223199057We get it. You love Sentai. Go away.
>>223199332>but the early 00s were a boom in Japanese media to just cast the most handsome men in important roles. This wasn't universal. Many producers disliked this practice in Sentai because the focus was too much on star power. It gave too much power to casting and modeling agencies. There are several interviews where Toei Producers said they respect Power Rangers more for taking normal 'up and coming' actors and making it an ensemble show where they all work together. The focus is spread out fairly.
>>223199332Rose Mciver RPM yellow probably is the most successful. Lead in iZombie and the ghost show.
>>223199332> I imagine this is also just how shit it is to not be part of a union, which Saban Power Rangers is infamous forIt became union halfway through In Space, so half the Saban shows before Disney ended up being union. The real reason is more typecasting and producers not taking kids tv roles seriously. Nick show actors before the 2000s also generally went nowhere except Michelle Trachtenberg, Amanda Bynes( briefly), and Kenan Thompson. Disney sort of changed that game since they had more power in Hollywood and started more of a pipeline from kids tv to Hollywood. Unfortunately Power Rangers was in New Zealand when they got it and Disney execs hated the show.
>>223199646also most of the actors they chose weren't actually good actors
>What the hell happened?Not enough Dulcea
>>223184200Holy fuck I had no idea this thread was still going on, I left it thinking it died and went no where.
>>223200245>>223200309>>223200320You can tell the producers on the PR movies were horny. In the Turbo movie they often focus on Kat's and Kimberly's asses.
>>223184603Super Sentai is dead too btw
>>223200686Yeah but in the 1990s it was considered cheeky fun. The actresses agreed to it as well. Amy Jo Johnson mentions it a few times in past interviews. They thought it was fun and wanted to show off. She said she had no issues showing off in a bikini in a few other TV shows she did.
>>223200320Man we used to have some fucking sets
>>223200846Based
>>223200901I miss the 1990s. Now Gen Z hates sexiness.
>>223197845>picThe problem is that the shape doesn't match what you see on TV, and this goes all the way back to the 80s.
>>223199332>That's another thing I really love about Sentai and all these tokusatsu shows is that they could be an amazing launching point for young actors. Oh please. Most Super Sentai actors from older vintage shows never made it big after the show ended. Many went back to a normal life.And modern Super Sentai is dominated by actors who are already semi-famous or have a modeling agency with connections to the studio push them onto the show. None of them are just normal random actors anymore. >Power Rangers almost never bolstered anyone's career.You can't be this stupid. We all lost braincells reading your post.
>>223202607Not that much better really.
>the one angry sentai incel is still in this thread almost 24 hours later

>>223202917The MMPR cast when they finally get fed up with Haim Saban.
I should finish watching Kuuga.
>>223204291>Hitler had some pretty good one-liners
I'm rewatching Zeo right now and there is this random jewish guy they keep inserting into episodes
>>223199332That reminds me of one of the stories about why the Jetman season of Super Sentai was so popular. They explicitly casted male actors to appeal to horny housewives and played up the romantic drama and it worked so well that Jetman was being recapped by one of the top soap opera magazines, the only time that ever happened in Super Sentai history
>*is the coolest villain*
>>223205437I have no clue what happened or if this is even true, but wasn't ASJ caught selling Hitler shirts or something?
>>223206065ranger form is really good too. You think he fucked the lady while in furry form?
>>223206231no you're thinking of doing gay porn
They needed more cute female rangers
>>223184200Dumbfuck. There is literally zero story and every episode is the exact same. The only good thing about it was the toys.
>>223206658I'm hard pressed to think of PR actresses who aren't at least pretty. For me it's Alyssa from Wild Force who's super QT, sweet personality and looks small and spinnable.
>>223206231He was on a podcast talking about the merch he's selling and talked about planning to sell shirts with famous quotes from "warriors of all ilks, including the terrible ones" and included Hitler as an example. It's a stupid dude-bro idea but people act as if he was endorsing Hitler when he was specific in saying Hitler was a terrible person. https://youtu.be/F9GyT-NGPdk?si=bV8gjkUt57L4z4K3&t=3382
>>223206658Who's this?
I mean, looking at some fanwork, maybe doing some of the older Sentai like Dairangers and Liveman would've been cool.
>>223204481Such ugly shit. Makes the Bayformers look accurate by comparison.
>>223199332isn't it the same with sentai and rider? Only Odagiri made it big.
>>223207270Dang, that sucks, personally I think the jews who traffic and rape kids are bad people but that's just me.
>>223206658
>>223207196she still looks good too
>>223208301Is she Filipino?
>>223208287Kat is the best PR girl, especially when they she wore those red shorts in the Turbo movie, and they then proceeded to focus on her ass and also get her soaking wet.
>>223206658>>223207434Oh god, did Zeo Hand Fetish Guy finally get some people to model for him?
>>223208942>>223208942The who?

>>223208942think it's from these guys videoshttps://www.youtube.com/@MrWeenieProductions/videos
>>223209299Oh damn, it's that guy, I remember watching him as a kid.
MORE REMAKE SLOP!SUMMON THE POWER RANGERS!!
>>223209380Didn't he go on some kind of anti woke rant?
>>223190946This is just that scene from Kung Fu Panda.
>>223187169i love the movie suits. they look so weird an alien.
>>223191018They wanted to be the 21st century Breakfast Club.>>223193959What they meant is they realized the visorless helmets looked fucking stupid. It would be one thing if they had a full face opening, but those just look like if you popped the lenses out of a pair of sunglasses.Also Hollywood still struggles with the idea that emotion can conveyed in any way other than shoving the actor's face in the camera so you can see them emote.

itll be out when its out. and we like that. great work ethic
>>223186662I rewatched some episodes of Lightspeed Rescue lately and it only made me appreciate it more. They were allowed to say kill, die, demon, etc. and didn't have any of that pansy ass abandoned buildings district cop out. There was an episode where a guy hijacks a bus with a regular gun he points at people. Both back then and today there are very few shows that didn't pull their punches like that.
>>223208942whomst?
>>223188614>Someone kills a person with literally no use to the worldI mean, murder is generally bad, but we let action stars get away with shooting dozens of mooks who have actual jobs working as bodyguards for the big bad in every movie for the last 50 years, so...>Someone hates a dyke on screenThat's called just being normal.>Someone revenge porns a classmateThat's everyone who ever took part in social media for content generation.This is just like, deadass normal people doing normal things on screen. What the hell is wrong with you that you think any of these things are grimdark? Do you even know what grimdark means?
>>223190885People are tired of the old shit, the problem is that we have to keep bringing it back because zoomer faggots are constantly trying to ham-fist in new shit that doesn't belong here, including themselves.
>>223209420Based
>>223209778I'm watching through Lightspeed Rescue rn, def when PR was arguably at it's peak, aside from RPM ofc.
>>223210168i love booooobs
>>223184200Trakeena was hot
>>223210071Do you lack any sense of context or media literacy? It's all about the franchise we're talking about.>we let action stars get away with shooting dozens of mooksBecause that's how action movies work. We're not supposed to care about the mooks. It's all about the hero kicking ass.>That's everyone who ever took part in social media for content generation."Everyone who ever took part in social media" aren't the HEROES in what's supposed to be a FAMILY FRIENDLY SUPERHERO MOVIE.>What the hell is wrong with you that you think any of these things are grimdark?Again, I'm not talking about in general, I'm talking specifically within the context of Power Rangers.>Do you even know what grimdark means?You're just intentionally not getting my point at this point. Swearing, sex, drugs... That's all normal shit that's part of real life, as you would say. But if someone were to suddenly dump all those things into a fucking Muppet movie, they'd be massively grim and out of place, wouldn't you agree?
