Boom Studios' "Go Go Power Rangers" Series Coming this July
A SECOND MMPR comic series is on the way!
Quote:
|
Second? Wouldn't this be the third since the Kimberly story would be the second?
|
Can we just jump to Zeo please? Or Season 2 or something?
I get the desire to hype up/promote Season 1, but with 2 comic series focusing on that season AND we just had the movie based on the 1st half of Season 1, they are seriously acting like Power Rangers is just Jason, Tommy and co., and that the series hasn't thrived on later entries being as loved, if not more so. |

Considering the canon twisting and imaginative take this Boom series has taken, I doubt nostalgia-filter readers will be that interested in Lord Drakkon or the off formula structure of the story to begin with. |
Quote:
And in actuality only two series in PR's history have been runaway successes Mighty Morphin and Lost Galaxy. |
Wait, Lost Galaxy? Whaaaaa...?
I'm pretty sure you mean In Space or Time Force, because NOBODY talks about Lost Galaxy. At all. |

Kimberly looks friggin' awful in that art. I mean I know they're never much for likenesses of the actors, but she looks nothing like how Kimberly's usually depicted. In fact neither does Billy except for "he wears glasses."

...So why does nobody talk about it? Like, out of all the series, Lost Galaxy is usually the last one anybody thinks to talk about.
I mean, you'd think, considering my personal nostalgia, I'd notice when people talk about my intro the franchise. |

Space was the series that was supposed to be the finale but the Contdown to Desctrucion created SUCH A HYPE for rangers that everyone was DYING to know what the future would be, so Lost Galaxy was almost religiously watched as a reaction towards Space. Really the show itself is ok when they were doing their thing, but in the second half when the budget was getting low and they had to use the Sentai fottage it ended up just as a bizzare jarring show that nobody really remembers. Personally I'm a S3 kid, that was what I saw first and season 3 and the ninjas are my nostalgia so I wouldn't mind getting some of that, but fact is, the comics are now milking the S1 nostalgia and it will be years until they decide to even try doing anything other than it. |

We started watching MMPR from the beginning and she had questions about Tommy's change from Green to White, why his suit looks different and where the Thunderzords actually came from. She enjoyed season 3 because she remembered the "Ninjetti Powers" the most, but admittedly more from the first MMPR movie, and not the actual season. When we got to Zeo, her first question was "Why does Tommy's helmet look like something a seal would balance on the end of it's nose?" No one remembers Zeo. And speaking of Zeo. Anedoctal point 2, during the MMPR movie (2017), theater was packed. Zeo crystal comes up and I hear murmurs about me from nearly all sides about how that sounds familiar but they really can't recall why. Anedoctal, yes. No one remembers Zeo. |

Where are you getting this information? Because I'm seeing Turbo and Samurai be ranked as "High Ratings" seasons, so that doesn't mean much. People soon came to hate those, and I doubt Saban didn't hear about it, nor Boom. People love In Space as this magnificent end to a specific era of Power Rangers. Taking forever to get to that would be foolish. RPM is considered the best Disney season, and even better than some Saban seasons, and it was on PR's last legs. Time Force, my personal preference aside, is known to be well loved, as is still a Saban season, so it doesn't have the "taint" of being one produced by Disney. Even Michael Bay's Transformers movies bother to add in later season/series characters, they don't make everything 100% about Optimus and Bumblebee. Just 80%. So limiting this return to loving Power Rangers bubble in time we're in to just MMPR is going to run the well dry with that attitude. |
Quote:
My pond has people who go on and on about Zeo. And Time Force. And hating on Turbo. It's remembered, even if not fondly. And I checked with none geeks, casual viewers. They know of Time Force and Zeo. Hell, Zeo moreso because it had Tommy. Never forget the effect Tommy has. |
Sounds kind of interesting, but not something I'll get in individual issues. If they ever get a third ongoing in the works I hope it's based on the new movie.

My issue is that they already have the main series, the Kimberly spin-off, and the crossover with the Justice League going on. And we just got a modern day reboot of MMPR in the movie. So why are we getting another “Hey, want to see the early Power Rangers?” story if most people picking up the comic have just come off of seeing the movie, and the comic team is nothing like the guys they just saw? I’m not saying cancel Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, I love what they’re doing. I’m not saying don’t give Kimberly a side story/gaiden, nor am I against the Justice League crossover. I am just saying that “Hey, you guys have other fans! And you already gave the OG ground 3 whole comic series to choose from. How about giving some scraps to us other kids at the table, huh?” My argument is that they’re already writing a story that is mostly unrecognizable, or off formula to what MMPR is, that most readers I’ve come across who go into something simply for nostalgia, especially Power Rangers’ fair weather fans, would be turned off by it. The rangers haven’t had a solid win besides setting back that Black Dragon Zord. Rita is so competent she takes out the Command Center seasons before happens in the show, and hijacks Alpha to use against the rangers. Tommy gets a sneak peek at his new form though a dystopian universe ruled by his evil alternate self, which if nothing else spoils his new tiger form for him (in-universe spoilers, how horrible). And on a serious note, the Green Ranger has come off less badass in this, and more of a liability because of mentally compromised state at first, and just his lack of action due to power coin issues. These are not bad things, nor do I dislike them…too much. I do enjoy the comic, and want to see where they’re taking this. But that’s me, and I’ve seen and dealt with people who were all hyped up for the Power Rangers movie. They’re the same ones who go see the Spider-man movies, and the other superhero movies. They don’t fucking care about the comics. Not that it’s exactly the same, as Marvel stuff are comics first, live-action second, while the Rangers are the other way around. But people like their formulas, and this comic says “fuck that” to them. Why are new readers or movie fans going to stick around, when Tommy hasn’t morphed for the past few issues, and the Rangers have barely gotten in a win, rather keeping Rita at bay? From the people I’ve met, and I’ve moved a lot so personality wise these are many, varied people, the way Tommy is being portrayed will have turned off quite a few readers. I know how people on this forum tend to feel about JDF and Tommy, but he is an icon of this series, and his draw/loss against Scorpina, him being played by Rita and Black Dragon, and now him being stranded on Drakkon’s world and not using his martial arts to take out at least a few Ranger Sentries, like how he would in the show, that would turn off quite a few people. Me, I’m chill with it. But acting like the same people who are reading simply for nostalgia would be accepting of all these changes and stay around is a bit of reach. Let’s compare it to other companies with “sharing the spotlight” problems. The Force Awakens did well by taking half of A New Hope’s plot, and despite bitching about how lazy that was it did succeed. This does the opposite. And while I enjoy it for its originality, I would like it if some of that was spread about. Because the nostalgia crowd has proven to be less forgiving to things that don’t suit them. DC likes to overexpose Batman, but we still get a Superman, Wonder Woman, or Green Lantern adaptation every once in a while. Marvel learnt how to sell characters others thought of as C-list heroes and make it work. Fucking Michael Bay’s Transformers had the Dinobots, for better or worse. And Hasbaro is working IDW as hard as they can to establish their own little comic verse, with mixed results but it’s still going regardless. If they only sell MMPR, eventually their number of readers will dwindle to an unattractive small number, as people move one from the MMPR hype. Look at Pokemon Go, sure it still has people playing, but it took forever for them to get to the Johto Pokemon, and all the hype they had going for it died down partially because of their limited content. So no, I’m not saying stop with the MMPR stories, I’m saying why is it only MMPR stories, I3ra5s Beetle. It’s a comic book company, they can make multiple series at the same time. Why are you acting like only one group in a fandom can have their nostalgia fulfilled while everyone else has to sit back and nod? How does it rob MMPR fans of their nostalgia if Lightspeed Rescue and Turbo fans get a interquel comic as well? When I said “jump to Zeo”, I meant like how the Pink Ranger comic is basically during Season 3, so just have a comic that’s set in the middle of Zeo, not “Oh fuck this Lord Drakkon story, let’s skip ahead and just say ‘they beat him.’” |

You do realize I was calling you out on being a hypocrite about the nostalgia thing right? I didn't say your personal feelings towards the issue were right or wrong. Your reasoning didn't make sense and was frankly unneeded. We all understand, different people like different things and would like to see other seasons. I would too but I'm not going to sit here and act like I need to justify my feelings or actively assert them onto other people. *wall of text* You really need to stop speaking for other people. Why would people want to see more MMPR? Because they like it. Just like you and I would like to see other seasons. It'll happen man, give it time. |
Quote:
How was I being a hypocrite? What I've been saying is little more than "So now there's 4 MMPR comics. Boom! has the licence to make PR comics, and they're only doing stuff within MMPR. Why can't it be 3 MMPR comics and at least 1 other season?" Why is my reasoning "unneeded"? What exactly did I do? You accuse me of speaking for other people, which is what everyone on this thread is doing when they bring up how people do or don't remember Zeo, or talk about Lost Galaxy. Did I tell MnemonicSyntax "I don't care what your wife has to say?" No, I just brought up what people around me have felt or said about PR, and didn't push or force my view on them. They claimed no one remember Zeo. I experienced the opposite. No fight, just showing that our "ponds" contain different "fish". |
Quote:
You're using your personal experience to say what a fandom really wants and what "casuals" feel about MMPR ongoing. You're using that personal experience to say "I'm right it should be this way". You didn't offer up your experience for others to come to a conclusion on their own you just wanted them to know you're right. What I'm saying now is calm the down, it will happen eventually. Hey how about this, instead of assuming what people want why not ask them? Let's make a thread about what we want to see in the BOOM universe. We could be constructive and happy instead of pissed off because MMPR is "overhyped". |
Quote:
And quit changing what I say to fit your message. It's not I like other seasons more, gimme. It's "I like Power Rangers, why are you limiting it?" You have no proof it will happen, so talking down to me and telling me to calm down will do what exactly? By all means, make the thread. Since whenever I say something, I'm telling others to "shut up and listen to me". |
Quote:
It's two ongoings with the first barely on its 17th issue. Yeah we really are stuck in a rut. Stop acting like a victim because I called you out on your bad attitude and hypocrisy. |
Quote:
You're claiming I'm saying something that I don't actually believe. I say "I want more than just MMPR, would you kindly?" I mean that. You seem to hear "fuck people who like MMPR, and fuck MMPR. Toss that aside and give me all the other seasons". I'm not saying that. So what hypocrisy is it that you're seeing? That I feel the need to vent a bit, on a forum site that has people venting up the walls about Decade, Ghost, or Kuuga? You go on about not justifying your feelings or asserting them onto others, but all you've done since posting on here is take issue with what I'm saying and telling me to feel as you say and present my opinions in a way you prefer. The only hypocrite here is you. I don't need to have proof, you're the one make the claim that they will. We've seen no evidence of their interest in doing that so far, so assuming that and telling others it will happen eventually puts it on you. I want it, you feel it's inevitable. We have no evidence of that. And as for "bad attitude"... If MnemonicSyntax didn't like what I said, I apologize. What I said I didn't see as aggresive, but that's not for me to say. If I came off harshly, that was not my intent. But you go on and saying I don't make any sense and that I'm a hypocrite, and saying it's a bad attitude to take issue with that. The only one making things personal here, is again you. I just came here to discuss Power Rangers. I'm not your "victim". |
Quote:
You want more than MMPR and want something else? Well others want more MMPR. Just because you want something doesn't mean the entire fandom does. I've said it from the beginning and I'll say it again. People want different things, respect that man. Doesn't mean you can't put your opinion out there just stop framing it like you have the entire fandom or any majority of it behind you screaming the same thing. |
Oh and hey you're right you did get me on some mindless optimism. Nothing what so ever says we will get different seasons. I screwed up and was a hypocrite.
Now do you want to admit to any mindless unsubstantiated second hand claims spat out as fact? |
Wow, talk about the most worthless argument I've ever seen. It's literally "They should do something past MMPR" and "Stop attacking other people's opinions" while condescendingly attacking person 1's opinion :lol
Anyway, this comic sounds boring as fuck. Teenage superhero drama was revolutionary back when Marvel did it in the 60's. I honestly don't feel PR can bring anything new that the billions of high school hero comics Marvel and DC toss out haven't already done. |
Quote:
Doesn't look like you felt the need to speak for anyone but yourself in your last paragraph. Call me out for whatever, I'll call out those that speak out their ass just to give credit to their own opinion. |

Since you seem to basically think I'm lying and speaking out of my ass, your turn. Show me people who have specifically said they want More MMPR. And only MMPR. Since you seem to feel you're defending them from me. Your quick to dismiss anything from me as mindless unsubstantiated second hand claims, but you provide little if any evidence of your own, all the while telling me to shut up and wait. You want to "call out those that speak out their ass just to give credit to their own opinion"? Start with yourself. All you have been doing is escalating for the sake of making yourself out as this bastion of fandom shielding. Like we all need to run our opinions by you. I've met people, random people at my comic book store and more elsewhere, who tend to be the ones go for this kind of thing. You don't want to believe, fine. What does that matter? |
Lol I could've copy and pasted this thread to write my argument paper

You asked someone for evidence of a show being a hit or not. Would you have accepted "oh I talk to people at my comic shop and they tell me how much they like it."? Ridiculous. I'm standing up to your asinine know it all bull crap because I don't want someone talking for me or anyone else. Sorry everyone for sticking up for your right to not be told how the fandom feels about a certain piece of fictional media. That's just me talking for you and I should be ashamed. |
I'm just going to say this. I don't care what the hell this is all about, but please stop. Nobody is speaking for anybody. We can only speak for ourselves. So stop this stupid arguement please? It's just going in curcles.

You do realize LockonStratos, FormerTitanium, and MnemonicSyntax have brought up people they know or met that have opinions that aren't solely theirs. Do wish to confirm with them that yes, Titanium's co-workers remember Lost Galaxy, Syntax's wife remembers the ninjas because of the 1st movie, and Stratos is around people who don't talk about LG? Because you seem to think I'm the only one doing so. I was responding to them before you felt the need to get knighted up for "everyone else". And actually yeah, I would have been fine with someone saying they're group of friends or coworkers like a certain thing. Pretty sure FormerTitanium did that exactly. I don't feel the need to suspect people of lying over fucking Power Rangers. But clearly that's something worth making a big deal about. Quote:
And by all means, I have no problem with what other people want in Boom's series. The only one objecting to how people should react, so far, is you. Did I tell Yellow Ranger they should care for something outside of MMPR? No, if they fine with this good for them. Did I tell Matrix not to be dismissive of the comic in general? No, but mostly because I've been around long enough to know Matrix exists on their own sphere, and what I like barely syncs with what they like. Whereas you contradict yourself and get pissed when they speak only for themselves, while you go on and act like YOU speak for everyone else. |
