Power Rangers 22 (2023)
Given the fact Saban had done Mystic Knights Of Tir Na Nog and due to the fact Hasbro may now have to do the same thing after Dino Fury can an non adapted Power Rangers Series work if having to be built from the ground up?
|
sure, anything can work with enough effort and planning. I don't know what else can be said beside that
|
Hasbro still has a few skipped shows to harvest footage from. If they run out, I would bet on seeing a cartoon instead of live action as a way to save money.

I'm sorry, but an animated series is an absolute red line for me, I would just feel unable to support it any way(I genuinely would rather nothing lol). There is already enough ignorance of the tokusatsu genre in the US and UK, I don't see how adding animation into the mix is going to help. As a spin-off alongside a main thing maybe, or a longer shot is some sort of mix of live-action and animation (there's not actually many shows like that!) but not for the main thing, it's specifically the live action element that I'm interested in.

Kyuranger adapted in 2023 or else!

Well who ever they pick if we get another adaption they try to limit it to 6 Rangers. 5 + 1 6th extra Ranger.
So if they do go forward with another adaption it'll be Kira Mage Ranger. Zyu Oh is the only other one they could do as it falls within the 6 Ranger limit. |

The Sentai that haven't been adapted yet are ToQger, Zyuohger, Kyuranger, Lupin V Pat, Kiramager and Zenkaiger.
Simon Bennet already counted out Kyuranger for having too many rangers and Lupin V Pat for having problematic themes. ToQger was skipped years ago because trains aren't as popular in the west and that probably hasn't changed. Zenkaiger is too odd for Power Rangers. Plus the numbers on the helmets don't match the Ranger Teams line up. That leaves Zyuohger and Kiramager. Both could work though given that the next season is the 30th, I think Kiramager could work better simply because the crystal theme could tie back to the Zeo Crystals |

According to the Wiki, everything is related and all things are references to other things. |

Also, what kind of stuff do they connect? |

They at one point had an entire "note" on a Ninja Steel character being similar to Miratrix because one time they wore a slightly similar outfit. |

I never said the name translation was wrong. I was just telling you that the Wiki is not always reliable. |
Quote:
Like almost all wiki's, it is filled with the most minute "details" that are usually made on a whim by the insane people that patrol that site. |
The wiki is broadly useful, but it is very sub-par in many places; the trivia section is a mess 9 times out of 10 and it does get some things wrong.
I think in the case of translations it's mostly fine and never really incorrect, though it can be very literal and put certain sources on a pedestal. |
They claimed Juran was the first dinosaur mecha in the Reiwa Era, completely forgetting about poor Smog Jouki. They couldn't make up their minds about whether the text color for Zenkaizer should be red or black, causing it to switch between them constantly.
I admit the wiki can be helpful, but yeah, the trivia section is full of nonsense and errors and some information gets omitted. Just cause they don't say Mage is part of Kiramager doesn't mean it's not. Just means they don't know or don't bother to add it. Sometimes they will say stuff without any citation and expect you to take their word for it. |
Zyuohger is the best option. ToQger is still considered too niche, LuPat can't be used due to 1. The current political climate surrounding police and 2. Because they don't want to portray Rangers as thieves, regardless of context, Zenkaiger would require a Super Megaforce treatment of "Legendary Powers" for half their abilities, and Kyuranger's 12 ranger roster is just too big.
Kiramager is also an option, but I think Zyuoh's animal theming would sell better. |

Like I get the reason why, but that seems more like a reason directed towards older fans who'd be more politically aware, rather than like, little kids. |

Context also matters, because unless they reiterate their goals every episode, the abundance of kids (And their parents) who tune in after the premiere likely won't catch that the robbers are doing what they're doing for a good cause. Much like Bandai/Hasbro's reluctance on adapting ToQger due to their worries about whether their target demo is interested in trains, making LuPat just has too many possible risks involved. |
Either way, both Lupat and Kyuranger were shot down as possibilities by an official source -- it's the only time we've ever had something as concrete.
I think the fact they are shooting down possibilities like that - something that's kinda huge for competitors as it gives them a greater idea of what to expect from your toyline the next year - suggests they might just be stopping adaptions soon. |
I expect either no more adaptations (likely a couple years break to get ready for Enwhistle and or animated projects), or one more adaptation (most likely Zyuohger) to bide time until one of the reboot projects is ready.
Either way, I don't see typical PR lasting too much longer. |
I really do hope that they keep it live action if that's the case. That's like, one of the biggest appeals of Power Rangers.

The best possible way to get around it is to do some kind of pre-episode blurb or narration like what we've seen in the past be it in Ninja Storm or Samurai to keep the dialogue from being clunky and repetitive. I do see an animated entry coming, but I also feel that something else is in play that we aren't privy to. I get the feeling that Hasbro will attempt a completely original live-action entry, but I think the deciding factor is whether or not it will be co-produced by Toei, though this is just a theory on my part! Hasbro will probably treat this like Transformers and do multiple stories across multiple mediums. It's just taking much longer than expected. |
I feel Hasbro is taking their time, to try and do things 'right' as there is a lot that needs to be done if you're gonna make something new and largely if not wholly original. They seen how the last reboot failed, even if it was imo, mostly really well done. And Hasbro is a company that largely understands and supports its adult fans as well as still appealing to kids. So whatever we get, I feel will be an honest attempt to be something both old and new will enjoy and still be true to Power Rangers... I just have my fears that if we go Animated it will end up being MMPR til the end of time, like how Transformers has largely just become G1 til the end of time.
As for next adaption, with Kyuranger and Lupat outta the running, Kiramager is the only series I think would work well. I seriously doubt Zhyouranger would do well because the zords/mecha are awful, imo. The cube stuff leads to designs that look lazy and phoned in (not saying they actually are); and I can't see that selling all that well over here. I could easily see people thinking they are preschool stuff, as the average consumer isn't gonna know or care about the sentai. Like I do agree conceptually that Animals would be more appealing then Crystals; just toy wise I think the Kiramager stuff would just look better on toy aisles then Zhyouranger stuff. Plus Kiramager's multiple megazord combinations would also work with how Hasbro's been selling zords for Dinofury. |
Kiramager didn't have multiple combinations. It had 3 weapons, and King Express being able to use either Smog Jouki or Zabyuin. Everything else stood alone.
That aside, with the modifications Hasbro made to the Dino Fury megazord, I think they might be able to change up Zyuohger's zords into something that could be more appealing. That said, I dunno. I'm not a kid and I don't know if the blocky aesthetic could appeal to the kids and their Minecrafts. :lol |
I don't think we should equate quality of a show with decisions on whether or not they are adapted. I mean say for a random example ToQger, there might be some people who like ToQger that don't care whether or not there is a Power Rangers version so just because you like X show, doesn't mean it was actually the right decision to adapt it!
