It's not out of touch, they don't want to do it like the show. They want to do it like Rita et al are an actual threat.

Not that I even care or agree with it, but you keep bringing up whata show is "supposed" to be when it's clearly not the way they want it to be.

I wonder if I will care about any of the rangers.

Yeah. For a few reasons...

- It takes wayyyyyyy longer to develop and animate a show than 18 months.
- There's no mention of Saban being involved, and like...
- There's zero chance Saban, Bandai, or Toei would approve something that would dilute/pervert their brand like this.
- Also, CBR credits this guy as the showrunner of the new Castlevania animated show but he's not. He's the exec producer, and Warren Ellis is the showrunner. Not getting nitpicky, just pointing out that the writer/website isn't really concerned with fact checking.
- Finally, there's no network or production company attached, so...

Yeah, this ain't happening. (I'd probably watch it if it did, though, tbh)

They would have to make new designs and new names which will probably take at least 2 years. Unless he wants to make a show based on the new movie which he would just need Saban's permission.

Wait, you mean that thing wasn't satire? It was called Power/Rangers. With a "/". And the whole thing was really over the top. I could've swore the whole point of it was to make fun of Hollywood/fans for demanding goofy nostalgic properties get "dark" reimaginings.

Like, the idea that anyone would produce something like that in earnest seems impossible to me.

Anyway, I guess if this gets traction (I doubt it myself), I... sure would watch a trailer for it? I guess it could be cool but, it could also be really, really not cool.

Also considering the fact that neither Power Rangers Now or Ranger Board is mentioning this on their feeds...yeah I'm calling BS on this one.

There's no way in hell Saban would let someone outside the company work on Power Rangers to this extent. Not to mention that he already sent a C&D to this guy before when he did Bootleg Power Rangers.

I didn't say they can't make the villains an actual threat. The Gorma in Dairanger, the Youkai in Kaku, Bandora and her crew in Zyu, and the Rinshi in Geki all show you can have fun while keeping the villains threatening.

I'm talking about the tones and the spirit. I don't need the rangers to be angsty pretentious jackoffs just because it's the cool thing to do.

If they don't want it to be that way, then guess what, DON'T CALL IT POWER RANGERS because it ain't.

I couldn't agree more with this. It bugs the hell out of me when people say that PR/Toku needs to be darker/edgier. That's not what the show is, and when you have stuff like Bootleg Power Rangers it misrepresents what these characters are suppose to be.


Well...that's what the Lionsgate movie is for so this reboot is really unneeded.

They should just make a Bulk and Skull spinoff that looks like a reboot of Ren and Stimpy than waste their money on this possible dumpster fire of an abomination.

Much as I want this, it seems unlikely, as Saban loves MMPR-cash in nostalgia more than everything (except his money of course).

At best, I think it's going to have the same tone as Voltron Legendary Defender, which would be ideal.
