Gargoyles was already canceled long before Disney bought Power Rangers. Never share info from Comicbook.com because they are infamous for clickbait and have been open to be both racist & sexist (They were known for being super anti-Captain Marvel last year).

Power Rangers Wild Force aired on Fox and the last 14 on ABC K. Ninja Storm was on ABC K.
Are Wild Force and Ninja Storm part of the Jetix era? Dino Thunder was the first aired under Jetix. |

I thought that Saban would bring back of he's old era aesthetic when he bought PR back from Disney.

However, by the time of 2011 the 90s nostalgia bug was starting to creep into pop culture. MMPR is the series most non-fans think of when they think of Power Rangers. And since toy sales had fallen during the Disney Era, in part due to Bandai producing lower quality toys (the RPM Zords, imo, are the biggest offenders) Saban wanted to recapture what had made PR popular in the first place. After all, PR lacks the same impact something like Kamen Rider has in Japan to push it forward. Nobody cares about Power Rangers in general, so it's just a continuous push for MMPR nostalgia baiting. Power Rangers up through 2009 was aimed primarily at kids, but it was a general kids age range. I can sit down and enjoy something like SPD because there's story and character in it. Yes, Power Rangers exists to sell toys, however that doesn't mean the show can't not be good too. The issue I think is that Saban treated its viewers like idiots, the idea that kids don't need shows that tells stories all they need are episodic content with light story elements. Because that's what the creatives took as a lesson from what made MMPR popular. It was less about the fact that MMPR existed in a time where shows would gain massive popularity and then slowly even off, like TMNT or Transformers. Those shows have their dedicated fan bases for sure, but they aren't nearly on the level of pop culture that they were at the very beginning. So Saban and the creative teams would attempt to emulate things from MMPR from the opening theme to the comedic relief duo to the hangout spot. The age range went from general children of all ages to Ages like 4 and below. I've seen Pretty Cure episodes with more teeth than modern PR. They wanna capture the "essence" of what made MMPR popular, but the issue is that MMPR wasn't popular because of any particular element specific to it, it just happened to become instantly popular like TMNT. There was nothing particularly special about TMNT outside of it's very concept, because it ended up just being an episodic comedic action show about ninja turtles. MMPR is a show that could only exist in the 90s and attempting to translate that into a modern show for 10 years straight WILL NOT WORK. They keep trying to make it work by modifying little things, but it never does. The irony of them saying Toqger would aim too low stems from this very fact that they already range their ages at like 2-3 years old. And it's like they look only at the main five suits and ignore the whole fact that the villains are complex in both character and design. The Shadow Line has some of the coolest villain designs in modern Sentai, but they aren't the focus. The ability to make a show be more than just a 20 minute toy commercial is lost to modern PR. Saban failed horribly and Hasbro hasn't made a good jump with Beat Morphers. I know it's better than most Saban stuff, but it still 100% feels like there's a lot of Saban leftovers. If Dino Fury fails, then we'll know that there's really no hope for modern PR to ever feel like an actual show and not like a 20 minute commercial with moral lessons. There's a reason why the MMPR comics are so well respected. It's because it takes general ideas from the original show and modernizes it in both setting, character, and concept. The comics allows MMPR to be what it could be in modern day as opposed to what worked in the 90s. I think they keep forgetting that MMPR was nearly 30 years ago and that 1993 is nothing like 2020. Hell, 1993 was nothing like 2011 and they kept trying to force it. |

I wish PR could have better plots and fight choreographies just like the 90's through 2001 seasons.

How many individual rangers are there?

For a good starter list of the original Non-Sentai Rangers, the following should help: http://www.morphinlegacy.com/power-r...anger-realness |
Why do neo saban power rangers series excluding ninja steel have their first seasons listed seperately from their second super seasons on netflix? I've asked netflix about combining the super seasons with the first seasons of neo saban shows. They put my suggestion in as feeback.

No idea why Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel are treated differently. With regards to your "suggestion", you probably won't get a strong reaction, unfortunately. Sorry. |
I have been invisible on rangerboard for spamming. Not all of my posts on rangerboard are spam. I think it might have to do with the fact that my comedian15 account (which has recently been terminated) was made invisible for the same reason. i am ninjasteel1987 on rangerboard. This has nothing to power rangers, but it needs to be addressed. I can't contact any of rangerboard's mods. There is no way to reverse this.

Why do people have a problem with certain seasons due to fart jokes and comedy duos ? I like every season and I dont mind fart jokes and slapstick . I prefer to stay positive .

Because it is cheap, childish, and clearly an attempt to recreate the Bulk and Skull but came off as shallow expies. It doesn't help that due to the nature of being Bulk and Skull expies, most of the time the episode shifts to them because as if they are the main character.
Disney era had comedic characters, but they were written in a way that does not appear to be 'spotlight stealing' and nore importantly, fept more like original supporting characters instead of blatant Bulk and Skull copy. Think about it, in Ninja Storm you had Marah and Kapri who are two comedic villains, and SPD you had Piggy who is a crooked street rat that annoys the Rangers but sometimes can be helpful in providing them street information. What does Neo Saban had? Victor and Monty, who're Bulk and Skull...... But a jock and a nerd! And Ben and Betty.... Who are Bulk and Skull...... But twins! If they really want a Bulk and Skull, Cassidy and Devin from Dino Thunder is an example of how to do it right. |
I dunno man, can't say I totally agree. I can't speak for Ben and Betty, having not seen BM yet, but Victor and Monty had way different personalities and arcs than what Bulk and Skull had. Sure, they were the jerkish comedic duo, but that was about all they had in common. It'd be like saying "Adam is Zack except quieter." I also never felt that they were the focus of the show, just that they had an equal amount of screen time(them being way more interesting characters than the Ninja Steel cast notwithstanding).

And most people don't, for the reasons listed above.
PR used toilet humor like 4 times in it's 20+ year run, until Ninja Steel where plots of the episode relied on it. Also Monty is one of the most obnoxious and punchable characters in all of fiction, and I want to rip my hair out any point he's on screen. |
I like how monty talks . To each their own about pr comedy duos
|
Well even Bulk and Skull are not all that to be fair, I mean people do overrate Mighty Morphin just due to nostalgia! I admit, I do prefer how most comedy in Sentai comes from the team themselves whereas we're just supposed to believe in Power Rangers that the team are ''flawless'' but I'm kind of used to bad humour in Power Rangers by now, I mean it's not like I watch it for a comedy show.
|
I'm curious; why do people like Titanium Ranger so much? Is it just because he's PR-exclusive or is there something more to it?
|
Welp, all I will say is that this always brought a smile to my face when I was a kid.

I'd also add that he got a very kickass fight scenes, notably his one-one-one fight against Pink as well as the one where he finally becomes good.
Too bad they don't have gifs for that scene and I don't have access to a computer at the moment to create it, but the scene where Ryan just finished kicking at the monster while holding a spear is my most memorable shot of him. Plus, he's evil sixth Ranger 2.0! If Tommy is beloved even by casual audiences for it (to the point whete Green Ranger is considered his 'main' form even though I feel White suits him more) , and even Trent after him, Titanium Ranger also deserves it. EDIT: here's a video of it instead. The scene at 2:01 is what I'm talkibg about. https://youtu.be/vGRJzEpe46Y |
Get it ? The ouya!
|
I do get it! :lolol Sadly my sense of humour's not great so I may not be the best person to judge!
|
What brody mean By "you all have your own worlds to protect" ?
|
I assume this is from the teamup? Brody probably referd to the fact that two of the Rangers came from different dimensions.

How does the beast x morpher detect motion?
