I didn't know that Ishinomori hated Masked Rider so much! I knew it wasn't universally liked, but I only had so much to go on as I only have sporadic memories of the adapt. I wanted to see if there was a way around it though, and I personally believe it's worth trying again, but only if done correctly. The plausibility isn't there, but I'll leave room for possibility.

What was up with the “Power Rider” trademark? Did Saban have the intention of adapting another series or was the name just trademarked to prevent any rival competition? Or was it for something else entirely? I don’t think it ever got renewed.

I know. It would've established Gorenger through Jetman into the PR universe.
I don't care who appeared in Super Megaforce. That is entirely irrelevant to me to bind my hands because of which powers or keys appeared in that garbage.

If i were the owner, i would bring back the original 40 episodes single season.

It's possible that Saban had interest with doing another Rider show. The trade mark was put online when Samurai was airing. Rumor had that Saban had all of Shinkenger footage. Saban using Decade would make sense if they want to introduced him in Samurai or Super Samurai. However I'm going to bet the name "Power Rider" was probably nothing.

I'm in the camp that it was just to prevent rival competition from using the name.
Like when Marvel made Spider-Woman just to keep someone else from using it.

Irrelevant to you, but not to Saban and to the hundred-to-thousand kids who saw those forms and couldn't find any old PR analog until a Google search or two led them to Super Sentai (pure speculation, but plausible). Suffice it to say, Super Megaforce is canon and any use of older Sentai has to account for the first "technical" use of those forms. Sadly, personal feelings don't matter at the corporate level. However, there are more reasons than that as to why it still wouldn't work. Just a few bullet-points:

- Gorenger: First Sentai. Really want to tamper with this outside of Sentai unless its a direct Sentai vs. PR Crossover? Also, four of them were in the Action Card Game.

- JAKQ: Playing Cards. Most kids probably know what a Bicycle Deck is, but kids shows have to be careful with that knowledge. Only Big One would make sense.

- Battle Fever J: Too many problems to count. Miss America has a wig, One might be insensitive, another has the flag of the old Soviet Union. Just no!

- Denjiman: Would Marvel Copyright matter?

- Sun Vulcan: Same answer for Denziman? Also, what about the suits? All cloth back in this day. VulEagle also in the ACG!

- Goggle V: Honestly, I wish they would made the gems in Overdrive a reference to this team.

- Dynaman: English parody of itself in America once upon a time.

- Bioman: Another English Dub.

- Changeman, Flashman, Maskman: Could be made to work. You know what I've said about these three and Super Megaforce.

- Liveman: Perhaps.

- Turboranger: Like Dynaman, the team name is displayed prominently. Also, they apparently served as inspiration for the Titanium Ranger as there are design similarities. Possible overlap?

- Fiveman: Perhaps.

- Jetman: Iconic series! Really want to shove this into PR? Also, what about the Gatchaman theme?

Unless I suddenly became Saban, they are irrelevant to the matter at hand. The question isn't "What if you became the owner of Saban Entertainment," but if the Power Rangers franchise just up and falls into your hands.

Saban. Doesn't. Matter.

What is the point of any of this?
Who cares?
What kid would go "HEY! THIS IS DYNAMAN BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE 6 EPISODE, 25 YEAR OLD GAG DUB OF IT!"?
What makes JAKQ's playing card motif confusing? What makes Gorenger so impossible to use? Why does Sun Vulcan's suit materials matter?

All I said was, if I somehow owned the Power Rangers franchise, I'd create a series of miniseries to tie the 15 prior Sentai in to the PR mythos. Zordon's war against evil, Rita, and Zedd has been noted to range on for thousands of years across the cosmos, which is ripe to be explored. I figured, perhaps the Dino Rangers (Which Ninjor basically created, since he made the Power Coins) weren't Zordon's first team, and perhaps the past Sentai could fill in the gap as well as explain Zordon's entirely unexplored history.
I also wanted them to be miniseries, only explaining the teams' histories, not their entire adventures and tenure as the X-Rangers. 10-15 episode stories detailing their formation, how their powers came to be and their connection to Zordon. Move on before we see what happens to them and their end to leave space open for more adventures, but not dwelling on them for too long.

All I'm trying to do is have fun, think of the various ways the past Sentai could be changed and fit into the PR universe. How Zordon made the Gorengers, or perhaps if they influenced Zordon to make more Power Rangers throughout the universe, which is why I'd create miniseries' if I owned the franchise to explore that.

But no, you take this shit way to seriously. Now I have to deal with the logistics of "What if a kid doesn't know what an ace of spades is? We can't have that. Only have Big One" or "Turboranger has the word "Turboranger" appear. It wouldn't work. Axe it."

Also, what do you even mean by "the team name is displayed prominently"? Do you know how many Power Rangers shows there's been where the Japanese name has been on show and the production staff clearly couldn't care less?

A miniseries would be cool. What might be fun if we were able to use "Forrest Gump" style technology and insert a time-travelling Ranger group that has to save Rangers from long ago, incorporating Zordon somehow. If they had to shift into dimensions, that could explain the older film look, too.

I actually had a time rift specifically in mind to explain Battle Fever :p

I get the "fun" aspect of it, and plenty of the ideas are worth exploring. For example, why does Ninjor make coins based on dinosaurs? Was it just to help others who weren't ninja masters? There is plenty of room for backstories and it would be nice, but once you are part of the "do-this-for-the-franchise" brain-trust, you can't just call yourself a fan anymore. All technical details matter. Surely Saban may have wondered what to do with the Disney Era after the whole thing fell back into his hands. Not all of his people agreed with the Ninja Storm-to-RPM thing in its entirety, but he didn't completely cut them out either. If PR fell into the hands of another, what would the logistics be? If you explore the unexplored, you have to give some credence as to what came before. Ones like JAKQ might not conflict with kids themselves, but parents are another matter. Would they approve of playing cards as a theme? That's where that one comes from! If Dynaman and Turboranger have chest badges that display their name, does that mean they can't be used? NO! It means that you take the time to mod the PR copy of the suits so a different name appears. In Megaforce, the team just used Goseiger card props and arrogantly kept the same names despite the cheap dialogue explaining otherwise. In Dino Charge, the names were digitally altered so as to not conflict. My thoughts on Battle Fever J remain the same. I want to have fun with the whole thing, but the only way you can have that kind of fun is to base it on the existing continuity. Do I particularly like Super Megaforce and what it did (save for some of the villains)? Not particularly! Only a few episodes were truly decent. But I push those feelings aside and take the established work as it stands and try to make sense of it and peace with it. I don't want to look at the episodes out of joy, but because I might want to keep what happened uniform in my head. Maybe I have taken this too seriously! Everyone has ideas! But if you were the one trying to come-up with a story or write an episode, can you pick and choose which Era you follow? Do you ignore what you can't stand to even think about? Saban does matter because he is largely responsible for all of this. PR might not exist as we know it otherwise. Is there something I'm missing? Probably, but that is to be expected! Sorry.

Yes. The entire point.

No, you don't. You've clearly and concisely proven that you don't.

Then I guess I'm not a fan anymore.

If I were actually writing and producing what I wanted, then yes.
But I'm some schmuck posting on a forum of what I'd like to do if I got my hands on the franchise. Those details are meaningless because there is no reason to follow them because I'm not actually writing the story in any capacity.

My idea was to merely explore the backstory of Zordon. There is absolutely no canon discontinuity concerning future stories, and Megaforce clearly established a connection between the Disney and Saban series.

Why does this matter? It's a theoretical situation that is likely to not happen in years.

No, I don't. There is absolutely no reason I should even acknowledge any of it. The likes of Mystic Force and RPM enforce it.

Why would parents care? It's fucking playing cards. Because Poker? Guess what, Big One isn't a poker card. Kids play stuff like Go Fish. I think the world won't be set on fire.
If anything, Ninja Steel would be the one protested, because ninjas are violent media.

Here are the Dynamen.

Here are the Turborangers.
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pu...anger_8254.jpg

I see no reason why they'd need to have modified suits.

No, you don't.

No, it isn't.

My idea was the explore the past rangers. It could clear up the New Powers gaff that Super Megaforce pulled. It would make the show more coherent.

All I wanted to do was to put the pre-Zyu Sentai into Power Rangers' continuity. You have taken this far too seriously.

When.
The fuck.
Did I ever say I was doing that?

Clearly I'm not.

It's an irrelevant point. I'm pretty fucking sure every Sentai and Rider are still cyborgs because otherwise it wouldn't be following Ishinomori's original work.
Saban doesn't matter.
The point of the question is what I would do. Not Saban. Not Disney. Not Lynn. Not anyone but myself.
It is a purely theoretical situation.
I don't need to worry about the logistics. I don't need to concern myself about continuity errors (Something that Saban seems perfectly keen to make in his own fucking show, but suddenly when I propose a theory, I have to be squeaky fucking clean).

I don't care.

The fact that you're taking a theoretical situation proposed for the fun of "What if a fan got to own Power Rangers" this seriously makes it plain as fucking day that you're missing something. Then to go and make assumptions that my proposed idea, which hasn't been elaborated on in the slightest, is going to exclude or eradicate the continuity of other series with absolutely no base to make that reasoning, along with the idea that I'm "Picking and choosing" what continuity to follow or intentionally excluding others, once again, with no ground, all while trying to insinuate that I have to follow the great god haim saban's vision without steering too far or something is bringing my blood to a boil.

To put things absolutely bluntly.

What the fuck do you want from me?

I'm forced to admit that now.

I don't want to have fun and set myself up for problems.

I would never try to take someone's love for the franchise away! That is unintended.

Key difference. If I could have one dream job, then writing for PR is it!

Explore away. Tie things into other things.

Agreed. He won't drop anything. He needs dividends from the movie first.

Big One not being card theme is why I singled him out. And while Go Fish is easy, Poker and gambling are not. Also, is Big Bomber too realistic? Ninjas are considered violent, and that is why I'm at a loss as to how they will reconcile themselves with shurikens.

I've seen 'em. That's why I said things. It's why Mighty Morphin' Morphers said "Power Rangers" and not "Zyuranger".

Megaforce was lazy. Can't do that again.

This I fully concur with.

I fear conflicts, and that is one reason why I took it seriously.

If it is what you want, then go for it. But I don't want to think in theoretical terms. Not completely. I want the theory to seem as realistic as possible.

Don't boil. Our disagreements are not worth it. We see things differently, but I agree with back stories, I agree with "New Powers" isn't a name. Let's leave it at that.

Nothing. I asked for too much already. You have your plan, and I have mine. Maybe someone will explore them to some extent one day.

I think if I ran Power Rangers, I'd have a season take place in Michigan for once, instead of "California stand in #183238747583758373847485758."

Which Power Rangers season had a better morphing scene/sequence than their source material?
Personally I like Lightspeed Rescue's. The music really helps.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBFDTe7ETaY

I like Dino Thunder's. I think the flip is a little cooler than just spinning in place, personally.

I'd have to say Ninja storm because all of the rangers had similar yet different morphs.

To answer Sunred's question: I always liked the Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Ninja Storm, and Turbo morphs.

What if Fox Box/Fox Kids never get in bankruptcy ?

So, I got MMPR Pink issue 2 the other day. LOVE this comic. Love it to death!! I needs more!!!!

Saban would never sell PR if Fox family never get in bankruptcy ?

How would you all feel for a power rangers with autism/asperger's syndrome? Someone high-functioning.

I'm just going to post this from the last time someone asked this

Disney would still probably buy it, bankruptcy just made it easier.

As someone on the Spectrum:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wvPgiNgjFD0

Fox Kids became the Fox Box after Saban was bought out. It would be interesting how the series would be like in the rest of the 2000's decade if Saban never sold the rights to Power Rangers to Disney. I would imagine we would still have things be filmed in California and we would be still be using CA voice actors for the villains and monsters.

I miss the PR shoots in US.

I've never actually seen any Power Rangers series in its entirety. I'm hoping to get started with RPM, but I must say that I'm also really really looking forward to Ninja Steel. I like the Ninninger designs (suits, mechs, cheeseburger), but I don't hear a lot of good things about the show itself.

RPM is an exceelent season! I watched all of it within like 2 weeks. And that was pacing myself. XD

Most Power Rangers are on the lower end of average to bad, unfortunately. However, some standout series you may enjoy will be Time Force or RPM. In Space is pretty good, but a lot of what made that show strong might be lost if you aren't acquainted with MMPR-Turbo.
Other series that people tend to enjoy are Lightspeed Rescue, Dino Thunder, and, to a lesser extent, Lost Galaxy and SPD.

disney is stupid - they forget put dino earth

That's not a question, but if I'm reading this right, it has something to do with the adaptation of Dino Thunder missing out a thing from Abaranger in the adaptation. Anyone who's seen Aba have some thoughts on this crucial part of the show being missed out in a completely different show?

It's just a parallel world that's the source of the Dino buddies.

Which Era had the best villains, Old Saban, Disney or Neo Saban ?

Old Saban.

i like old saban and neo saban
diseny 's villians is stuipd

I miss the villains from the old saban, they was better than today.

Disney....with the exception of Zedd. But overall its Disney

What's kind of characters you guys want see ?

i wait see ns 2017 villians
