I heard there's an argument if why Toei should help since it's not their product, in which I would like to counter is that they should, because PR's success helps Toei. And sadly this is why Sentai is kinda struggling. Because Power Rangers is being perceived as a joke, Sentai is kinda less popular because of it even though it doesn't make sense.
Honestly Power Rangers just needs to be amazing that it draws the general audiences to it. If Captain America was meh but come The Winter Soldier he's now the most badass superhero ever, surely Power Rangers can do the same. That is why I am cynical and worried towards Beast Morphers, because while they have a lot of effort, they also have that cheesy factor that makes the franchise a joke. I'm not saying we should remove the cheesiness, because that is the PR's dna, but rather evolve that cheesiness. For example, look at Kamen Rider, the belts' jingles are so ridiculous that people love it. Power Rangers needs to make a sort of cheesiness that people woukd love, not embarssed at it. Like how Fast & Furious knows how stupid their franchise it but embrace it. Though there are people who hate F&F for the same reasons.

But I'd argue that the franchise got its boom with the 80s show which is light hearted.

I know it will be a reboot but, i hope they don't follow the same concept from 2017 version.

I think Power Rangers needs to try appeal to a general audience than just kids if they want it to be more popular and view less of a joke. Most Marvel and DC superheroes were created for kids, but they appeal to everyone than just kids. Not to mention, they have more going for them. Meanwhile, PR is still being aim just only for kids which is why most of the non fans outside of MMPR nostalgia don't care to watch the newer shows.

I have heard rumors that an animated series is in the works, and leaving that on Nickelodeon is fine (unless Cartoon Network is more receptive). The live-action material should change direction and station and maybe there should be more than one live-action series running at one time! One new team and one nostalgia show which run concurrently. A kids show doesn't have to be a melange of cheap gags and simplistic plotlines. Hasbro has commissioned good shows before (Transformers Prime comes to mind). They can find a way to make their new property equally good if they put some serious thought into the process. You can't leave it all to the comics! |

I never care with the acting in the old saban era, only the plot.

And I don't know, maybe I just got ultra cynical, but people loved Beast Morphers while I'm like 'meh' towards it, though I admit there's some good stuff from that season.
