I've worked in the comics industry for a decade now. Trust me when I tell you that the planning of this comic had absolutely no bearing on a TV show that was already well into production and likely finished filming before this was even beyond the plotting stage. It's just not a scenario that makes sense given the windows of time we're talking about. This Shattered Grid special was specifically just filmed recently to promote the comic event. This isn't a case of the two having been filmed simultaneously, or adjacently, or anything of that nature. It's just not very likley at all what you're proposing.

Man, shame this is being wasted on a comic rather than its own miniseries or film.

I just had a total nerdgasm. LOL!

The Red Sentry actor twitted about being in the trailer.

Anyone else notice that the Red Sentry was holding Zed's staff?

He is holding it.

That. was. epic.

The Boom comic has been REALLY good. I can't wait for 25.

Well damn! I hadn't even noticed that the first couple times I watched it. Love little details like that.

So I am like, legit ready for this even moreso now.

Nickelodeon would NEVER approve of a show that had this dark a tone!

Netflix might!

Saban! Start taking hints! There is a market for a series devoted to older fans who want more!

The common tagline for the 2017 Movie was "Together, We Are More!"

Listen to the fans more and make something that fits their desire, and the franchise will be more!

I'm torn as to whether I would like a truly darker PR that strays too far away from Sentai, but I can't deny that it has some potential, and if Shattered Grid exceeds expectations and becomes as big or bigger than anything Marvel, DC, or Star Wars comics have produced in their long history, then PR will finally garner unbridled respect in the sci-fi/pop-culture world and be seen as a legitimate contender to the long-standing properties which preceded it!
