Why was the Sentai team that made up “Blitz” featured anyway? I read Saban had been wanting to use the core Dairanger team back in the original Saban era, so I get why they were featured.

Editing around Sentai teams is hard work, and the directorial team is sure that the fans will love these non-Power Ranger teams in a Power Rangers anniversary season!

I hope we have a space ninja sentai next because i'm tired of Youkais.

I found a knock off of Avenger from The Brave of Gold Goldran in a Tuesday Mournings.

I was think, PR would still be the mainstream if they were under Saban control from 2000 through today ?

Power Rangers is still a popular kids show.

But not like in the 90's.

That's because it came out at the right time. Even if Saban owned the series through the Disney Era, I doubt it's popularity would be any different. The only big difference I can think of is a different type of fuckery they would have to deal with like they did with Disney.

English-dubbed Mikage sounds like Dan Green.

Oh, it is him! XD

Pretty much this. Power Rangers came out during the early 90s and it was a kids show that people never really saw before. You had giant robots, people fighting monsters in rubber suits while having High School stuff in the mix of it. Power Rangers will never reach the same level of popularity that it once had. However, the show is still popular with kids. Saban in 2011 did help bring it back to the mainstream eye again. I remember during the Disney era, the show had bad time slots and little-to-no marketing.

I just want PR have better plots again.

It helps that Power Rangers didn't come entirely out of nowhere- it was right on the heels of TMNT. The two were close enough in theme and tone that it was a smooth transition from one to the other.

Yes, and to add to what you said, I was also thinking maybe the setup somewhat resembling shows like Saved By The Bell and to an extent Archie Comics also helped as well maybe?

Can't imagine it hurt it. "Oh it's live action like a sitcom but it has action like a cartoon!" wasn't a new concept at that point but it was still a novel one. I think Godzilla was in the process of or had just had a resurgence in popularity in the US and abroad (from Japan's perspective) as well?

Did Saban sell Power Rangers to Disney because they (he?) needed the money?

I heard that Fox family channel debt was huge and Disney purchase by 3 billions.

Saban didn't sell Power Rangers specifically. Disney bought out Fox Family, which included Power Rangers.

Godzilla did have a resurgence in popularity in the US before the 1998 remake. I'm not sure if that helps to the success of Power Rangers or not.

Saban was actually taken back on the purchase if I recall correctly. Apparently Saban Entertainment brand was a subdivision of the Fox Family Company, a former asset of the now defunct 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, and when Fox sold it to Disney, that included the Fox Family Network (ABC Family, now Freeform), Fox Kids, and Saban Entertainment, among other assets. Basically Saban had his company ripped from under him and sold to Disney. That's why in the 2000's we saw more independent production companies that signed exclusive deals with studios instead of starting up within a studio to prevent such a business transaction from occurring, at least until the owners decide to sell or go public.

Should in sentai have more realistic mechas ?

Sorry for the late reply, but yeah few days before that was the worst state of my life, I'm for now though thanks.

Power Rangers Turbo started after TMNT had finished the run.

So, random question.
If Takara made the Brave series, why is their rival Bandai able to release figures for them?

Um, yes.

I hope the next PR movie be more successful than the last one.

I bet PR 2017 would have done better at the box office if they didn't release it in March. You had the latest F&F movie and Kong: Skull Island around that time.

It also would've probably done better at the box office if were actually a good movie.

Hey it was a good movie. I actually enjoyed it, and I rarely watch Power Rangers.

Rick and Morty henshin

If nothing else I give it points for actually taking some risks with the characterization as opposed to repeating the cookie-cutter personalities of the original cast.

It does however drag on too long and have too little actual action for my liking. And I'm still not a huge fan of the visual styling of... anything, except maybe Rita.

It took the characterizations of the original cast and instead replaced them with generic YA novel/movie personas, I don't really see that as "taking risks" personally. It's honestly the point that I can't even see them as different takes on the original cast and instead see them as entirely separate (bland) characters. Whether or not that's good or bad is up to the individual, I guess. The comics do it way better, thankfully.

PR 17 turned the Rangers into can't catch a break losers which was a bad move. That I hated.

I like the PR 2017 movie over the original show, but that's not a high bar in my opinion.

Well speaking as someone on the Autism Spectrum, I'm more than a little biased considering it was nice to have a point of reference for people that wasn't The Big Bang Theory.

That little device Rick threw at Morty so he can suit up is very Kabuto Zector. :lolol

While I don't see that as a high bar, I will agree that yes, it was nice to have, even if I didn't particularly care for that version of Billy.

I did enjoy the 2017 PR film as I do like John Hughes films, and it was very derivative of his works. But I did have problems with it. I did not care for the designs of the suits or the zords. I hate there was no proper transformation sequence. I did not care for the movie's take on Goldar. The morphers served no purpose, which bothered me a bit, and made the toys pointless (which I am glad I never picked it up). And there should have been at least one in-suit fight scene earlier in the film. Other than that the acting was decent, the directing was good. And it had a compelling story. And it had teenagers with attitude fighting an alien being. And I did enjoy the movie's take on Rita. I think if the film had a bit more nostalgic visuals it would have done extremely well at the box office. I mean just look at how successful Beauty and the Beast was that came out the same month. A virtual clone of the original visually speaking, and frankly a worst film compared to PR 2017, but the nostalgia hit hard with that film. It goes to show if you want to remake a popular brand you have to balance the amount of nostalgic factors with new elements. Being too far removed will alienate the establised fan base and gain very little new fans. Maybe it'll get a cult following though. Who knows.

I enjoyed a lot about PR 2017, most especially the characters; but everything about its aesthetic was inherently unappealing to me.

I notice that too. Makes me wonder if the series creators are fans of Kamen Rider or not.

When there'll be a new sentai rumor ? august ?
