I understand the fear based on stuff I've heard, but all I can really say is "wait and see." Saban is totally gone now, so I imagine Hasbro will do something atleast moderately unique for... whatever they decide to call the Ryusoulger adaptation.

As things stand now it seems like their plan for PR as a franchise is to have the show itself continue to be aimed at new sets of 10 years olds every two years, while having stuff like the comics and bonus things like Hyper Force be aimed at the older crowd who grew up with the series as a whole.

And while I can't speak for Ben and Betty(due to waiting for season 2 of BM to wrap up before I binge the whole show), I dunno, I found Victor and Monty to actually be genuinely funny most of the time. Are they as good as Bulk and Skull? Nah, but those are some hard shoes to fill. Maybe I just love childish humor.

And don't forget, bulk and skull as well.

A cute little article on the ceaseless popularity and 'campy fun' of Power Rangers in general.

I hope Hasbro improve the fight choreography.

Happy 20th Anniversary, Titanium Ranger

I had no problem with the rescue train, It was pretty cool and first of his kind.

I think the next comic relief duo should be the black and green rangers who act serious as rangers but funny unmorphed as a cover.

A standalone comedy duo is fine to me.

See, that's the problem: ever since Neo-Saban the show felt like it was aimed at 5 year olds, not 10 year olds. In Space to Disney era felt like properly aimed at 10 year olds, and this era is just extremely childish.

Although maybe that's just how kids shows roll these days. I mean I wanna say that Ben 10 original thru Omniverse is what kids shows done right, but I heard the new series is basically aiming at even younger audience so maybe that's that

It is definitely how kids tend to roll nowadays. Many a popular cartoon aimed at kids of the same age group have similar tones, and even though alot of people hate to admit it, Samurai WAS popular with its target demographic while it was airing. Plus, the tones and styles of the Neo-Saban Era ARE different from those of the seasons that were outright aimed at 5 years olds(MMPR-Turbo).

Am I saying that they're super sophisticated and what every kid show should aim to be? No, but they do serve their purpose. The quality of which is of course, subjective.

Heck, even if Saban behind closed doors decided "Hey, let's make the series be aimed at 5-year olds again" I personally wouldn't mind. I try to just enjoy the ride for what it is.
