How many 100% American original Megazords have actually been good? That in no way disproves your opinion of this design, and I don't mean it to. It's just something worth bringing up, I think. |

Um yeah... How can Saban allow this? That THING looks like an evil robot more than a megazord.

why would Saban allow this um they are co-producing this and they most likely said ok to it.

Alright, finally made an account!
Anyway just wanted to say that I really like the Megazord! I haven't liked any of the movie designs so far (well the morpher is okay) and I tend to really dislike hollywood redesigns, but this I really dig! I find the design itself ascetically pleasing, I think the concept is pretty interesting with it basically being a giant ranger and it makes it feel very "Power Rangers" and certainly Tokusatsu even if it isn't what you'd expect from a "zord", and although I can compare it to things if I think about it it doesn't immediately make me think of anything or come across as just piggybacking on popular hollywood trends the way the suits did for me. Only things I would change is the pointless detailing/groves 'n stuff on the chest and knees/feet ect. and that it definitely needs more Blue and black. And maybe something that lends at least a little bit more to the prehistoric theme, all it's got going for as is is that the midsection vaguely resembles a fur pelt and that that the leg cockpits are claws(and I guess the "scales" and feet are supposed to be dinosaurish?). But overall two thumbs up, vastly better than I was expecting. I think it helps a bunch that it has that wire mesh spandex going on because that prevents them from putting ugly pointless protrusions and the like over most of the body. I'm not gonna go saying "how dare you not like this design" and I can easily see why it wouldn't be what a lot of people were wanting, but I really can't agree with the severity of the negative reaction it's been getting.

Honestly, showing us the lackluster toy versions of the robot FIRST was probably a poor decision. Really sours our impression of the design and just makes the people who don't like the thing like it even less. I think first seeing the Megazord in all of its concept art or CG rendered "glory" would have made seeing the toys (which lack a great amount of paint and detail) easier to swallow.

Ok I just want to say one thing that's been touched on but never been directly said this is a toy by BANDAI OF AMERICA and they are going to cut costs wherever they can like paint apps for example that being said I don't hate the design I hate the toy. I've never been a big fan of a non combining mech figure unless it at the 5 to 7 inch scale. With all that being said I will definitely get the big one and wait for the official movie image of the megazord which hope will be with a trailer some time soon

WOW First off they are going for a new look when it comes to the Megazord second Remember the Mighty Morphan Power Rangers Movie Ninja Megazord you know how UGLY THAT WAS compared to the TV Shows what they are trying to do is create something new and different that will look good in CGI but at the same time trying to kept the sprite of Power Rangers alive So FANBOYS Shut the F up This is a different Power Rangers Movie all to gather this is not the 90s we grown up on I personally like it its a nice update plus they are trying something different then going back to the original design
Trying to keep the spirit of Power Rangers alive? By removing everything that makes it recognizable as the Megazord or even a robot? Compare this to the rebooted Voltron design: or heck even Bayformer Optimus: Both are updated and in the case of Optimus radically redesigned but are still recognizable as the characters they're supposed to be. |

Also, if they were really trying to be different, why reboot MMPR? Why have the same names for the rangers, bring back Zordon Rita and Alpha, have the same animals and power coins? Clearly they're not all that keen on actually being different, otherwise they would've just made it a brand new series like PR always does.
TLDR: You can criticize it all you want, but complaining about a reboot using old things from the thing it's rebooting is dumb

Well, to be fair, Super Sentai tried something new with its Mecha year after year. Power Rangers was usually just following suit.
How many 100% American original Megazords have actually been good? That in no way disproves your opinion of this design, and I don't mean it to. It's just something worth bringing up, I think. But yes, it is ultimately SS that's come up with the new designs. (leaving PR at the mercy of whatever goofy gimmick they come up with, whether it translates to Western audiences or not ) Quote:

This is where context is a very important thing. You just ran off a huge rant on me without realising that that I only "criticised" the use of old concepts in response to someone saying that this was supposed to be a new take of PR. I then gave examples all all the things that aren't new. I was not saying at all that referencing MMPR was a bad thing, but that you then can't say this is a totally new iteration of PR if it takes so much from MMPR specifically. So yeah, you look a bit foolish. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 11-06-2016 at 08:34 AM.. |
