Eeeeeehhhhhhhhhh I have a nitpick about this. As a non PR fan I don't care all too much (though I'm planning on watching RPM with some friends) but your Capcom comparison isn't too good. Capcom was a laughing stock this E3 not only due to the demo of MvC:I being bad, not just due to some character models looking awful, but because of the Dragon Ball fighting game. And they held off Street Fighter V's Abigail for EVO to build up hype and, well, Capcom pretty much took a sledge hammer to the face considering the other EVO stuff, not to mention how SFV heavily underperformed and the company themselves aren't doing too gooc. Just Saying
And SFV is bad yes but they also made RE7 which revitalized a brand that was on it's way to being considered a laughing stock by the greater gaming community,seem to be doing something with Megaman and are actually bringing Monster Hunter to the West.*even if people disagree with how they're doing it.* Believe it or not but almost a decade ago Street Fighter was largely considered the only worthwhile thing they put out thanks to them outsourcing almost everything else. They're slipping a bit now but I still have faith in them no matter how much I gripe about SFV's lack of Arcade Mode and Sakura. Gotta take the good with the bad. Quote:
I don't know if you guys watch other Nickelodeon shows other then Power Rangers but pretty much all of their shows air like this. They all have, at the most, a little over 20 episodes a season and even they go on several hiatus' through out the year for reasons that that make sense only to themselves. Why should Power Rangers be treated any differently? In fact, Power Rangers and their other live action show probably get the lesser of two evils because, while they, at least they are on the same day and in the same general timeframe. Their animate shows, on the other hand, are not only inconsistent with their new episodes but constantly change the day and time they air. Besides, who's to say Saban will even go back to the original, pre-Neo-Saban era model if they were to go to other network?
Side Note: Seriously, what's up with the Hiatus'? Is it to draw out the episodes or something? I don't think anyone has the heart to tell them kids will just change the channel or hop on their computer if their show's not on. Last edited by Yellow Ranger; 07-26-2017 at 04:28 PM.. |

I had to read this twice. The first was to just get the general idea of how everything was layed out. The second was more to figure out if this was just a nitpicky kind of expectations issue.
I don't think it is though. It's not a bad thing to say that because a company didn't give all it could to it's marketing for a major event that they were asleep at the wheel. To be honest I think most people didn't even realize SDCC was this past week/end. A lot of folks weren't wowed with the exclusives, and some are just plain burnt the hell out. It's a great time to be a geek, but after that, it just becomes tedium. But there was a major franchise reboot with the new Power Rangers movie. And say what you will, it did NOT get the accolades people thought it would. Personally I finally came around to watching it as a rental. It was a personal choice, and I'm a fan of the franchise. It barely made back it's production budget. With total money. It didn't even break budget in the US. That's not a good sign. Personally I liked it a far far cry better than the last two Transformers movies of which I'm an even bigger fan of that franchise. So did Bandai do exactly what Hasbro did when Battleship sank like Rhianna's acting? It would appear so. They wanted that box office money. I'm sure so did Haim Saban. What I'm getting at is there's going to be changes around the corner. Hasbro is going to have their own convention. We have Powercon, as well as the other conventions annually. SDCC might be a dead horse being beaten to death with DC and Marvel properties. It might be time to change and adapt. Let's also not forget that Viacom has already prodded around changing Nickelodeon and their other Nick franchises. It's been 30 years. And even the other channels are changing (Sprout has been bought up by Universal - becoming Universal Kids, and Discovery Family might be going away soon too). Could Disney do something with the franchise? No. They have their fingers so far up the Star Wars universe they're digging for gold. Does Saban have enough properties or capital to start it's own network? No. but they could perhaps latch onto a different network. Nick/Viacom is too sketch to stick to.

Where were you when me and Yellow argued whether Capcom or Marvel was at fault for MVCI?

Jesus it's like some of you people have never seen a bad convention before.
It's starting to remind me of how Transformers fans overreact to everything. Also Power Rangers/Fighting games isn't the only thing Bandai/Capcom does. They are doing well with their other properties and I acknowledge that. Doesn't mean they can't do better with PR/SF but I'm not going to completely write them off for one bad showing when they've righted the ship before after worse. Quote:
