I've seen some comparisons between The Matrix and RPM: Reality is mostly a desert and machines rule while the few free humans around live in a protected city. In The Matrix, it's "Zion", which has Biblical connotations. In RPM, it's "Corinth", a name which also has a Biblical connection. The "villain" in the film is A.I. which uses humans for its own purposes, while RPM's Venjix, a virus that uses machines and robots, controls the surface of the Earth and will either eliminate or use and abuse other humans for its purposes.
I don't know how many have noted this before, but it's something I've only recently noticed. One could also argue that the infamous "Bullet Time" and the "hovering-in-air-while-shots-zip-around-hero-and-villain" variation are present in the film and Time Force, but Timeranger did it before PR, meaning Toei must have been paying attention and were inspired to emulate. Go-Busters also took a handle from RPM and PR in general. Maybe Hasbro will see the same connections I've noted here. Here's hoping Beast Morphers has references like this! Art imitates art! P.S.: I know it's not really a question, but this seemed like a good place for a general observation at the time. Last edited by TokuKnight89; 05-31-2018 at 02:32 AM.. |

I'm the only one who thinks RPM is not as dark as people make out to be. Yeah it has a different tone than most PR shows, but it still has goofy moments and the bad cheesy acting that you see in other PR shows. I seen some fans feel like that it has the same tone and deep story telling that the Walking Dead has.
