Obviously it needs to be respectable to me, an adult, and not to the children that it is marketed at
That was sarcasm btw. I think the comics are respectable enough, but the show does need to get a bit less... childish. I like the cheesy fun but it needs to have more serious moments and such. And better cinematography, both Dino Charge and Ninja Steel are absolutely awful on that front. Last edited by Bionichute; 05-01-2018 at 08:51 PM.. |

My point is that fans seem to care what other people who aren't fans outside of their fandom think about their respective franchise. If you're already a fan, then you kinda already respect the franchise enough that you'll stick around through thick and thin, or you'll leave and it might draw you back in. Changing any formula could be good for the people who are already fans. If it brings any outsiders to the fandom it won't be a permanent thing. For example, the Transformer films brought people to the theater that weren't fans and they found them enjoyable*. After the movie, people leave waiting for the next film but they don't become "fans" like we are of a particular franchise. I'm not saying it doesn't need work, but having this need for the franchise to be "respected" outside of their fandom isn't going to happen. They'll either have a brief nostalgia trip, or a summer flick fling (so to speak) that is just for fun. I've seen people mention that the Shattered Grid stuff being on actual television would bring in new viewers and breathe life into the franchise. Both of those statements are probably true, but it won't be because of any sort of "respect" that was garnered, it will be because of nostalgia or curiosity. I'm referring to older viewers and fans of course. *I'm not here to debate the quality of the films, they did well enough from outsiders that they were able to keep going for five films, which is my only point here. |

Waittaminute, since Hasbro owns them are they still going to retain that "Saban's Power Rangers" thing? I hope not.

There's a huge difference in profile between Voltron on Netflix and the Transformer mega franchise, which spans 6 $200 million+ movies (if you include the upcoming Bumblebee movie) and multiple animated TV series. Retail expectations for Transformers are infinitely higher than they are for Voltron, so even if the Transformers toy line sells better than Voltron's, it could still be a failure for Hasbro.
If you really do work on Voltron in some capacity, I'd expect you to know that... Quote:
Dizagaox, who are you? You make oblique references to working on Voltron, but that doesn't really give you much authority on Power Rangers. I'm super fascinated by what you're saying about Power Rangers and their inability to license future Sentai shows, but there are certain factors that lead me to believe that's unlikely.

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? Quote:
- 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?
Quote:
- 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?

Am I the only one who doesn't want to see Power Rangers mixed with Transformers and GI Joe? Ugh. If the acquisition gives us better Sentai adaptations and better toys, then cool. But if it gives us forced crossovers, no thanks.

Yeah no, mixing up Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg isn't a small mistake, this proves you're full of shit

Yeah, for a dude who claims to be a brand consultant, you really don't seem to know how this kind of stuff actually works, and are just consistently spreading the same rumor.
