Jonathan Entwistle to Help Develop Power Rangers Show and Movie
http://www.morphinlegacy.com/2020/10...or-hasbro.html
Jonathan Entwistle is now connected to the franchise! |
Hell yeah!
I don’t know who that is! |

"Entwistle most recently co-created the Netflix original series I Am Not Okay With This and created Netflix original series The End Of The F***ing World." |
The End of The Fucking World and I Am Not Okay With This are great. This is a talented creator. He’s easily the best writer/director ever associated with PR.
However... pretty much confirms what everyone was sooooo sure wasn’t going to happen. It’s a near certainty that there will be no more Toei/Hasbro collabs after Dino Fury. |

That aside, alot of people around the net(atleast from what I've seen) seem to assume that, even if there were a "best case" scenario of even the live-action being all-original, that the writing, stunts, etc would all just magically improve to whatever standard they have, as if the show is tailor-made for them in the first place(not accusing you of this, btw). Meanwhile, keeping the footage from Sentai allows the budget to be used more in other areas, which is only a plus, and like it or not, the two series are really intertwined, so fully getting rid of the Sentai aspect would be like you disowning your sibling because strangers on the internet don't like them, if that makes sense. |

I believe that Hasbro wants to experiment with original productions as opposed to a clean break from Toei. Thanks in no small part to BOOM!, we now have ample material with no connection to Sentai to port over into Live-Action. The show has a history of including original villains and designs. I also perceive the possibility of animation to expand on the franchise. Transformers has precedence with doing more than one show or continuity at any one time. Why not the Rangerverse!? I'd rather believe in and see a ToQger adaptation air in the same year as an animated anthology AND a Live-Action Omega Rangers or Hyperforce! I'm also thinking of that slim chance that Hasbro will put one show on Nick and have one on Netflix. Again, precedence with Transformers. I know I'm spitballing, and I don't want to take away from the fact that Entwistle's connection is still a good thing for the franchise. |

I don't think Power Rangers will improve in much any sense whether they do this or not though - we have ten years of evidence showing they don't care to - it just makes sense to have more power over your brand especially as you've divorced from the toyline that continues to make all the merchandise from the franchise you're using. On the Sentai side of things... well, good, it allows that franchise to stand on its own and do more creative things than having to set things up for Power Rangers to steal from it. In fact a LOT of the projects they've done recently are pretty difficult to adapt even on an aesthetic aspect, so again, this is just a plus for each side. Sentai gets to do what it wants to do and Power Rangers doesn't have to tie itself into a knot figuring out the best way to market train powers or showa-esque monsters to a western audience. |
