Hasbro's ending the live action movies because of how poorly the last two performed, especially as far as the toys go, with a lot of the fault being how poorly Paramount has handled the franchise. They're still intending on making their live action Hasbro Cinematic Universe, which will eventually include the Transformers.

Hasbro has a dream of being a completely integrated company, that owns or controls the entire production, distribution and marketing chain of its products. It's a lofty vision but has investors foaming at the mouth, which is where the money is coming from. There are thousands of rich men and women gunning for them. The rumour mill is/was that from 2019 there will be a new "Hasbro One Universe" where all of the action franchises will reside regardless of medium, and it's being kicked off by IDW Publishing in late 2018. The first film set in this universe will be MASK (out in 2021), directed by the person behind Straight Outta Compton and Fast & Furious 8. Paramount is distributing MASK, but it won't be their movie, it'll be produced and owned by Hasbro Studios. Last edited by Dizagaox; 05-01-2018 at 06:11 PM.. |

Put it this way - the authority figure just got promoted to HBIC at one of the companies involved. You can work out who if you follow TFW2005.

This is fake news. We at Voltron would kill to have the retail sales figures and presence of Hasbro's TF movie line, so it really isn't anything to do with that at all, and everything to do with the creative vision they have for the brand.

I mean, you're talking about keeping things on brand, but Power Rangers' brand is live action. Power Rangers is guys in spandex fighting rubber suit monsters, that's what people know it for. And there's still the fact that animation would still be more expensive to do than having literally half the footage already be there for them. They're going to keep doing live action.
Basically dude, you're spouting weird conspiracy theory nonsense Last edited by Bionichute; 05-01-2018 at 07:09 PM.. |

Paramount is distributing MASK, but it won't be their movie, it'll be produced and owned by Hasbro Studios. Questions for you: - Why would BoJ and Toei involve BoA and Saban in the development of Kyuranger if they had no plans to license Sentai shows beyond Ninninger? - I have a friend who works at Hasbro, and he has said similar things regarding their desire to become, basically, the next Marvel Studios. But you're contradicting yourself. You say that Hasbro is moving away from live action to focus on animated features, but then you say that they're starting a live action "One Universe" with MASK. Why do you think that Hasbro is trying to move away from live action output when you, yourself, recognize that there are no less than four live action Hasbro movies due out in the next four years (in addition to like, five more live action Transformers movies that I'm aware of that are still in development), all of which are intended to be major franchise-starters? - Why would Hasbro begin live action production of Beast Morphers if they're actually interested in turning Power Rangers into an animated series? Cause I guarantee that Beast Morphers was being developed by Hasbro from day one, hence the new PR logos, the new toyline by Hasbro, etc. Buyouts on this scale tend to take over a year to finalize, so they've been working on this deal, and thus the next show, since well before the announcement that the license had transferred. That's just how TV production works. Why wouldn't they just announce an animated Power Rangers series right out the gate? - Do you really have industry insight, or are you just piecing together rumors from various message boards? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that your claims are extremely far fetched and need a lot more backup than you're providing. Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 05-01-2018 at 07:38 PM.. |

Didn't Toei straight up deny Disney when they wanted to make an animated Power Rangers?
Why would they suddenly have a change of heart on Hasbro?

Any Saban/Hasbro/Disney-original designs and concepts are probably up for grabs in terms of animated shows. But who knows? I'd be interested to know how much contractual influence Toei has on Power Rangers as a concept separate from Sentai. I'm also interested in knowing how much Hasbro would have to change to make PR sufficiently distinct from Sentai in order to escape Toei's demands and make their own animated show. EDIT: I did a little research, and I think it's a myth that Toei rejected an animated Disney PR pitch. There's almost no information on this other than Disney was considering a PR cartoon, going as far as to commission at least one test reel, but ultimately decided against it.

I really hope this is a good sign. Power Rangers needs to be a respectable brand. It already achieved success in the comic industry, time for them to expand in TV and movies.
And I do hope Hasbro would've spend a bit more money than Saban did. In general, just a drastic change of quality for the shows. |
