director Jonathan Entwisle shes some light on the future of Power Rangers:
Quote:
Since we set up Power Rangers with Jonathan, we pitched really a whole-world approach. It?s not just one show, it is shows followed by films, some kids? programming. We have found a great writing partner for him, they are off. Knock on wood, Netflix is excited, we?re excited, we hope to have some news soon. https://deadline.com/2021/11/dungeon...ew-1234876331/

Sounds absolutely horrible. Outside writers, Netflix Involvement, detachment from sentai, and an effort to rip off the mcu. DC tried and failed with an established brand. Hasbro is starting from scratch with probably their own ideas fueled by mmpr. Im sure it will look nice, but will suck in every other regard, just like their netflixs Death Note adaptation.

The moment I see "Cinematic Universe" is the moment I become immediately skeptical about your production.
Can Power Rangers do it? Yes. They've been doing it since Lost Galaxy and Super Sentai's been doing it for even longer. A shared universe is part of the franchise. But if you're gonna try to chase the MCU success formula, even properties where crossovers are a big part of its identity are put in jeopardy if they only focus on that and not establishing the world first.

"We're going to do a Cinematic Universe!" is kinda just white noise for me at this point. I admit I've got distaste for that kind of thing personally, but has it ever actually worked out for anyone other than Marvel? Hasbro themselves has attempted this multiple times before with Transformers, and if even that multi-billion dollar juggernaut of a movie franchise can't manage it...

I'm convinced the MCU has tainted film making...

Oh so just because the MCU was successful, that means everyone has to do it. This is why Hollywood is so creatively bankrupt. The MCU only came about because it built up to something that was never done before, which in itself was a huge risk at the time.
Nothing to see here, just Hollywood chasing a dated fad, as they always do. |

Wow, hate to sound negative here, but I'm with the majority here. It's like they went out of their way to raise every one of my red flags. Not at all excited for this project.

When I see "shows, AND films" mentioned, it implies to me that they want to duplicate CURRENT MCU with streaming mini-series and films operating in conjunction with each other to form a cohesive whole.
Biggest question I can think of is if they're going to start an entirely new continuity with shows and movies to back it up, or are the new film(s) going to be set in the established multiversal continuity that is the show we know with every subsequent entry riffing on the new standard set forth by a new film? Transformers did Season 1 & 2, did the Movie, then released Season 3 with the idea that it follows the new status quo set forth by the Movie (not precisely though)! That's the pattern I'm wondering about. This will only work in any capacity if they recognize the mistakes done by DC. They try to jump into something without building anything up. The first film is the make-or-break and it has to actually find its roots before anything can occur between Movies and Shows. The 2017 entry didn't lead to anything big at the time, but it did take the time to try and establish itself as an origin story and give us reason to follow the characters. Hasbro might have the conceit that they can do what hasn't been done before: challenge the MCU by ripping it off! They haven't fully rectified the mistakes of Transformers Movie-Verse (commonly referred to as the "Bay-Verse"), but they continue to add something new to it. They also have G.I. Joe to consider with the recent release of Snake Eyes. They think they have enough built up that they can start expanding even further. The 2005 IDW Transformers Continuity tried the same thing toward the end by throwing everything in. But it all goes back to the success of the initial film. This cannot work otherwise. They won't be the MCU cause nobody on Earth can be the MCU but the MCU! It is something that can never be done again by anyone and not be called a rip-off. They can try to create something similar and beloved if they put the effort in, but they need to get off their high horse before it bucks them off! |

I already dislike the current MCU forumla of movies + TV shows so I'm not too keen on it here.
