You either put in the effort or have the common decency to admit you made a turd. I'm tired of drama queen directors like that talentless hack Paul. |

So, kinda interesting thing that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. I was in Target today and found the toy for the Power Sword repainted into the other four rangers colors. It's probably a toy line only thing, but hey, still kinda neat.

I will make a lot of people irationally angry right now but frankly weather this movie does gangbusters money and is the most profitable movie of the year, or if it fails horribly and makes 0$ it won't matter in the end, because the franchise as whole will suffer in the long run.
I am also a transformers fan, this year is the 10th anniversary of Bayformers and frankly the franchise isn't in any better shape than it was back in 2007 in fact I think that it's in worse shape. If the movie is a massive success it won't be a sudden renaissance of Power Rangers making everyone's wildest dreams come true like how some people think. The people in charge will see the movie as a success and will go "hey the movie is making money why not make everything else like the movie for more money". So they fill first continue to make more movies. Then suddenly every stupid idea the movies came up with, every weird design choice the movie had will be forced into every other part of the franchise. Like with how now Bumblebee will forever be the most important character in the entire franchise and will always be a pimped out muscle car. The movie aesthetic will become the dominant aesthetic for every Power Rangers thing for ages to come. Like with Transformers the lines that were meant to be homages to old toys and characters will be gone and instead replaced with figures that are more like the movies. The comics will be rebooted to make them look and read more like the movie. All of the next shows will be written and made to look more like the movies. Every other aspect of the franchise will cease to exists or hold any meaning except for the movies as the movies becomes the sole driving force for everything. So if you are not completely and utterly in love with the movie the next 10+ years will be torture. Eventually the public and fans will get sick of it and at best the movies will keep going forever while the fans maybe get a few new figures based ONLY on Mighty Morphin and maybe a new comic book based again ONLY on Mighty Morphin and ultimately nothing will be different than it is now. If the movie fails well frankly again nothing change. There won't be any more attempts at revitalizing the franchise. It will just keep on trucking the way it is now, as a trainwreck of neo-Saban desperately trying to recreate Mighty Morphin again or just doing 1 to 1 awful localization of Sentai. We'll still get some ok-ish vintage nostalgia-bait toys and a decent comic but that's about it. So really whatever happens for the hard-core Power Rangers fans who want the franchise to actually be something more well that's all dead now thanks to the movie. |

You're a little off.
Power Rangers is developed much differently; and it's a big part of why, regardless of the movie's success, PR won't see a major evolution is that it's a franchise that revitalizes itself every year (Well, now every 2 years). Unlike TF's, which can sit in dormancy for however long it takes, as soon as one PR series ends, we get, what, 4 months until the next one rears it's head. It can't reuse points from the movie that was successful because it will get very tired, very quickly. Add in it's reliance on Sentai footage, it keeps it from being PR Move: lite version. Worst case scenario is that Kyuranger's PR adaptation takes cues from the movie, but that'll likely be it.

If Power Rangers revitalizes itself every year why have the last 6 years been exactly the same?
Power Rangers USED to revitalize itself every year, because every year there was a new set up, a new status quo, a new set of characters and most importantly a new gimmick and tone. That's what kept the franchise fresh. The entirety of neo-Saban era feels like exactly the same show a.k.a. a poor try to recapture Mighty Morphin, both in setting, characters and episode to episode formula. The only difference between Samurai, Megaforce and Dinocharge are the suits effectively they are all the same show. If the movie becomes such a massive hit the higher ups will simply say "make it more like the movie" and from then on instead of trying to copy the simplistic 90s Mighty Morphin they will try to copy the movie so there's going to be more civilian powers, colour filters to make everything look dark and brooding, characters being "troubled youth", tropes and character from the movies being copy-pasted etc. At best we won't get the terrible movie aesthetics until BOA throws money at Japan to try and replicate that style for the next series or something like how they did now with Kyuranger in order to have the suits look like armour/things they do in the Super Ranger instead of the plain one colour spandex that Sentai has been using for the last couple of years now. But make no mistake any ORIGINAL American content like the comics or hell if they decide to go all out and make a Netflix series or something will be following the movie style. |

This is the same that will happen to Rangers after the movie hype dies down if there even if one. Do you think that there is going to be Legacy Space or Turbo zords? Lol no after the movie aesthetic gets boring it'll be back to basic with more original Megazords and maybe new Thunderzords. Because that's all this franchise has become and will continue to be. A constant rehash of Mighty Morphin because nostalgia. Last edited by PanzerVogel; 01-09-2017 at 08:50 AM.. |
