So that Comicbook.com article. I think the part of it that’s correct is Paramount working on a new PR film with Hasbro not being involved creatively. We’ve known they are just going to license out properties since recent movies haven’t made as much as they like. The part I call BS on is that for the right price Hasbro would sell the brand to Paramount. Two reasons I think this. When is the last time Hasbro sold a property? I don’t think they ever have. And secondly Paramount isn’t in a good position financially. They were just sold for like $7 billion. It would take more money than what Hasbro bought the brand for to get it away from them, if they were open to selling. I don’t think Paramount has that much money to spend on a property that traditionally doesn’t make a ton of money at the box office.

This seems like the legit news. https://www.thewrap.com/live-action-...hasbro-disney/

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Glad I'm not the only one who is very skeptical.

Would Disney even want it back?

The two people in talks worked on Percy Jackson and the Olympians for Disney Plus recently together, anybody know if it's good? Seems favorable review-wise in general.

A lot of book fans were upset but as its own thing I thought it was solid.

I see. I saw the teaser and they seemed to have made something that looks decent. I seriously hope they see just the first season of MMPR, right before Zedd is a thing, and then immediately binge-read Boom Studios stuff for how to modernize and set the tone. I don't hate season 2 of MMPR, but if they're gonna give the people a 2012 Nickelodeon TMNT levels of a reboot I think that's the way to go.

Of course, if they decide to go back and do the same old sentai footage splicing they should start with Kiramager and then give us King-Ohger for season 2. Only because Kiramager is generic enough but has a unique aesthetic going on with their whole gemstone motif and starting with King-Ohger seems like it'll set the bar way too high in terms of expectations for potential future seasons.

Honestly I think they're better off going back to adapting Sentai instead of continuing to try to do their own thing or possibly reboot MMPR again.

Yeah, as long as they can pull it off I'm fine with either. But like I said, Kiramager would be a nice reboot point for the reasons that I pointed out.
