I'd love to see....no.... my friend and I would MAKE a new Power Rangers movie. A good chance to tell an origin story with Zordon and the creation of the rangers.

Anyone have any casting ideas for a new movie? I'm drawing a blank right now.

You dont have to be evil to be badass. He was just a much stronger leader than Tommy and had a more powerful presense about him.

Though he did go evil in Turbo; and was pretty demonic;

http://www.rangercentral.com/images/prt-al-kimjason.jpg

Sorry, But even after he turned good (at the end of "Green With Evil" story Arc) Tommy didn't lose his Badass self. In fact he was even more badass Ranger .

And he was a much better leader than Jason ever was, that's why Zordon make him the Leader when he became The White Ranger . like i said by the time he became The White Ranger (He was like Superman) .

And that was only written in because Austin, Walter and Thuy had left the show at that point. If Austin stayed, he'd be leader.

Haha are you kidding? They turned him into a total douche. More and more by every episode.

I thought Zeo, Space, Lost Galaxy, and Time Force were all quite good, actually.

And big deal, Tommy sang and danced like a jackass. Like everyone here hasn't rocked out with some air guitar to a favorite song or two. Besides, after Zack left, they needed someone to fill the break-dancing Ranger quota. :oldrazz:

I always though it would be a cool idea to have a Sentai web-comic that was dark and gritty. You know, "real" violence and more "mature" subject matter. Actually see a monster get blasted with a energy wave and blood/monster guts go everywhere. Or see the Red Sentai with blood leaking from his facemask because he's getting his ass kicked.

Power Rangers In Space to Wild Force are all worth to watch.

Screw Disney's PR. They are all too childish bull**** and too kiddified crap.

I haven't been too high on Overdrive, but I must say: the fight choreography has been noticeably strong this season. Will's fights especially. I've been hard on Benta, but his voice behind that kick ass Black Ranger costume works so well.

And the Zord battle in "One Gets Away"? One of the best I've seen to date. The strategic mix-matching of parts was pretty wicked.

You should re-watch those episodes. Everyone was a bad actor/actress EXCEPT Amy Jo (Kimberly) and Walter (Zack). Tommy is my favorite character but I will be the first to admit that JDF was a horrible actor during those early days. The great thing about him was that he was a badass.

Austin was good too. I mean, in Green with Evil, during that Goldar fight...losing so badly, and painfully having being choked held up against the wall. He seriously, made me forget that he's fighting some stunt man in a rubber suit. I suggest you watch it again.

David Yost, you have to give it to him. He had to recite the hardest lines out of everyone, by far. They made him talk like a computer.

I actually considers that Wild Force was part of Saban because of MMPR Productions. So, Wild Force was awesome period.

RangerKing

08-18-2007, 09:59 AM

The TV show was a Saban production. The movies were a FOX production. As a result, FOX, owns the movies.

Nope, nope, nope. Fox produced and owns the first movie, in fact Disney had to buy the rights just to show it on ABC Family. The second movie was a Saban production with Fox being the distributor. This is why the first movie wasn't used as a basis for the third season, because of the money it would take to be able to incorporate it (ie buying the rights). The second movie was incorporated and shown in the series twice (Shift Into Turbo and Legacy of Power).

I actually considers that Wild Force was part of Saban because of MMPR Productions. So, Wild Force was awesome period.

However opinion and factor are not the same. The production company is really irrelevant to where a season falls in terms of ownership. Wild Force was the first under a Disney copyright and therefore, production company and staff aside (which at this time had a completely new writing staff and one less producer), is a Disney season.

To each his own. God Himself could've produced Wild Force and it would still be last on my list of seasons, given how much it sucked.

RangerKing

08-18-2007, 10:19 AM

I think that Wild Force was good, the storyline was good, and the actors themselves were good. However I do think they spent too much time on things like Zen-Aku and that while the actors alone were good actors, together they just didn't mesh well.

Question:

Ranger Central did a list of the Top 10 Moments in the history of the franchise for the 10th anniversary season.

So here's the question: are there are any moments since then (Ninja Storm-Operation Overdrive) that would crack the top 10 now or would be added for a top 15?

Here's their list from 2002:
1.) Green With Evil
2.) Countdown to Destruction
3.) Forever Red
4.) Journey's End
5.) A Golden Homecoming
6.) The Rangers' Leap of Faith
7.) Chase Into Space
8.) Frax's Fury
9.) White Light
10.) Operation Lightspeed

My top 15

1. Back In Black - PRDT

2. Fighting Spirit - PRDT

3. Legacy of Power - PRDT

4. Shadow - S.P.D.

5. Beginnings - S.P.D.

6. Endings - S .P. D.

7. Looming Thunder , Thunder Strangers, 1-3 , Return of Thunder Part 1-4 - PRNS

8. The Samurai's Journey, 1-3 -PRNS

9. Storm Before the Calm, 1 - 3 PRNS

10. Heir Apparent 1- 2 - PRMF

11. Snow Prince - PRMF

12. Light Source 1-2 PRMF

13. The Return - PRMF

14. Mystic Fate 1-2 PRMF

15. Once a Ranger 1-2 - PROO

Well considered to still be a part of the Saban Era. It's something I've never quite understood myself.

Um, that goes for you, RangerKing, since you made a boycott Power Rangers.

Let me put you in your place, peon. I for one got the idea from an archived version of a very young Ranger Board which, if I'm not mistaken, was proposed by Ray Calderon the founder of RangerCentral and owner of RangerBoard. He proposed sometime in 2001 for fans not to buy the toys for a certain amount of time for some reason. I took a page out of his book. I proposed a boycott of one season. I could understand if it was the only season on at the time that it could be taken as boycotting the entire show, but it wasn't. To that point there were a lot of old time fans who stopped watching at that point and I was trying to get them to say officially "I'm boycotting". It's not a hard concept to understand.

IMO, Tommy became leader long before Jason left. He basically stripped Jason of his leadership status the moment he joined the team and when he still had much to prove as a Power Ranger. Don't get me wrong, Tommy was powerful but he was overrated to me. And yes, Jason was better than that nimrod Rocky.

Nope. It's pretty clear from the graphics that it's not intended as a next-gen game. They probably just decided to go for the biggest market share with the PS2, since they knew the crowds who are serious enough about video games to plop down $500 for one of those systems probably aren't going to be PR's target demographic. I think they were just trying to find the cheapest way to get to loads of kids, and the PS2 and DS are definitely that.

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to squeeze higher resolutions and some snazzier special effects out of the PC version, too. At least, that's how it usually works, since consoles usually have set resolutions but most PC games allow you to adjust it.

Eric (Quantum TF)
Jen (Pink TF)
Andros (Red Space)
TJ (either incarnation is fine, but Blue Space Ranger is preferable)
Kai (Blue LG)
Doggie Cruger (Shadow SPD)
Xander (Green MF)
Cam (Green NS) or Dustin (Yellow NS)

If it's a Power Rangers cartoon, I'm sure it wouldn't be like Kim Possible. Maybe the animation style, but I'd be all right with that. I just think there's a hell of a lot more you can do with animation than you can with live action. Plus, I've always said that the PR series would probably be much better if it were all made in America instead of mostly Japanese footage retrofitted with American bits. Animation would allow that.

Its too late for that. People no longer respect this show. Anytime you bring up a new season of PR during a conversation people say, "that show is STILL on the air?"

Best solution is to cancel the show, give it a 5 yr break, and restart the franchise with a MMPR movie. If it worked for Transformers this summer it can work for PR.

MMPR premiered in 1993. People who watched the show back then are between the ages of 20 and 25.

The show will be 20 yrs old in 5 yrs!

90% of people haven't even watched this show since 1997. And the kids who were born AFTER `97 don't give a crap about PR. What they care about is High School Musical. So, if you give the show a break for a few years and restart it I'm pretty sure you can resurrect the franchise.

People between the ages of 20 and 25 are generally just getting out of college. They don't have the clout necessary to push a project like a big-budget Power Rangers movie through. Look at how Transformers got made: Michael Bay spearheaded it. In order for something similar to happen to PR, I'm guessing you'd need someone with a lot of power to stand firmly behind it and fight against all of the perceptions and preconceived notions people have about Power Rangers.

Although it is possible if 10 yrs from now there hasn't been a new PR movie. But, anyway, in 5 yrs the franchise will be 20 years old.

If they broke away from the normal routine and did something different it'd make the show much much better.

Instead of 1 season for different characters have 2-3 seasons to warm up to the characters more.

I've seen some Sentai before (mostly Boukenger). It is more mature, but not to a heavy heavy extent. If you take out of all the truly Japanese elements and humor, it's like PR targeted at 13-17 year olds. And I would love that.

PR has better fight sequences, though. And the characters are more....diverse. ;)

But in general I can't get with the strong Japanese elements of Sentai, though I do think it's "cooler" and edgier in some aspects. I wouldn't want a overly mature PR season (that would, again, be losing out on what PR is). But a season without a heavy dose of cringe-worthy kiddie cheese would be nice. Imagine a season with villains the caliber of In Space and lead Rangers the caliber of Time Force, but with Disney's action and effects.

That'd be wicked.

Well, for Overdrive, there are a few clear indications:

- If Miratrix or Flurious are around, American. Duh.
- More explosions and vehicles? American.
- If the Rangers morph, and the scenery around them kind of changes, it's Sentai.
- And look closely at the suits. If they look slightly dull compared to usual, it's Sentai.
- And if the Rangers, morphed, tend to move around a little bit more animated than usual (over-the-top head nods, the Yellow Ranger doing silly stuff, etc.), it's Sentai.

- And if the Rangers, morphed, tend to move around a little bit more animated than usual (over-the-top head nods, the Yellow Ranger doing silly stuff, etc.), it's Sentai.

The yellow ranger doing silly stuff was just in boukenger amoung the sentai shows and keeping with natsuki's character. The fact that OO used it and it was compleletly wrong for ronny's character... well, that would be disney's fault wouldn't it? I've never minded the head nods.

One last thing. Rangerking, you're a moron. All sentai sucks including sun vulcan huh? Have you ever ****ing watched those shows? Didn't think so. Changeman is better than anything PR has ever done.

Was that the one where he was beating every down in a valley then suddenly teleported to an imaginary boxing ring and continued to beat everyone down?

That was *okay*. I guess. But the fight sequences in PR are still better choreographed, IMO, even with the overdone explosions.

TheCorpulent1

That's why they've gotta hire better martial artists. JDF? Skilled martial artist. Amy Jo Johnson? Wound up being a pretty good actress. But do we honestly remember or even give a crap about how well AJJ acted as Kimberly? No, we remember how awesome Tommy was, the stuff that happened between the Rangers and the villains, the cool fights, the changes in powers, etc. PR is really not an actors' show; acting talent is secondary to being able to perform well in fight scenes.

Cmill216

08-24-2007, 07:00 PM

I agree with what you said earlier, Corp. Get a few real martial artists with moderate enough acting ability, and then mix them in with your decent New Zealand/Canadian young actors.

TheCorpulent1

08-24-2007, 07:04 PM

That'd be ideal. Hopefully without always making it the men who are the martial artists and the women who are the actors. I can't really recall any great female martial artists on any team of Rangers.

If more American fight scenes were like the ones in "Forever Red" and the producers hired more martial artists on the level of Daniel Southworth, Jason David Frank, and Johnny Yong Bosch, I might actually start watching PR again.

Oh yeah I like your thinking, and I am with you on that, some people I know just say MMPR is the best due to the fact it was the first season, me I watch it now and its like nope its not the best I don't really like watching it
With TF and IS I can still watch now and love it as much as I did when it came out.
But MMPR is not the best in my opinion and I like it that others think like that too.

To all of those who have seen all of PRiS (I'm only up to the Psycho Rangers episode), what exactly has Zhane done to earn himself the mantle of "the most powerful ranger in the universe"? So far the only thing he has done better than most rangers is suck.

He got lucky. Had Astronma (or however you spell her name) had not turned out to be his sister the entire universe would have gotten screwed...unless his team would have mutiny his ass! Which they should have done from the getgo! Thats why T.J. will always be inferior to Jason. Had Jason been there he would have set Andros straight. Remember in White Light when the entire team was doubting Zordon and pissed that he had "stepped over" Tommy? Jason was like, "take a chill pill guys. Zordon knows what he's doing!"

Thats one of the reasons why MMPR is still the best. The acting was horrible but the character (despite being stereotypical) were well developed. CORRECTION: season one of MMPR is still the best. The show went down the hill with Rocky and company. :cmad:

Thats not what I said. I said that when everyone was acting stupid he set them straight. We all know Zordon wasn't that bright...he picked 5 random teenagers with attitudes! Unlike, Rita, who picked Tommy cause she saw that he tied Jason in a martial arts tournament. But, Jason, understood that he had to keep some order during Zordon's absense. Everyone was getting desperate and nervous and what-not and he had to keep everyone calm and thinking straight.

The one thing that keeps Andros from being awesome is that Alpha had to convince him to give T.J. and the others a chance. If it weren't for Alpha, Andros would have left the other rangers on some random planet to find their way home while he pursued a trail that had long since gotten cold.

I'm not saying that Andros was a bad character/Ranger. All I'm saying is that he is extremely overrated! And what you just stated above is another great reason to point out how overrated Andros is.

08-28-2007, 04:28 PM

Are you kidding me? That was the character's whole arc for the season! He goes from not wanting any help because he doesn't want to endanger anyone and get them hurt like Zhane again to relying on the other Rangers and being a team player. Of course he needed Alpha to convince him to let the other Rangers join up. His character was just not capable of trusting others on his own at that point. Faulting him for that is like faulting Billy for not being a phenomenal fighter right off the bat. They're just character traits that they grew and overcame over time.

Regardless...he came across as an a-hole. And that was the least of PRiS' problems. The chick who played Astonoma was a horrible actress. The love story between Andros and Ashley was a joke. The Ninja Turtles team-up was embarrasing. Justin guest starred in one episode. C2D disrespected everything that came before it.

So...as good as PRiS was it still was very flawed.

So, I don't see what the point is of dissing MMPR. Yea, the acting was bad and the characters were a bit sterotypical and the story lines weren't that great. However...you had characters you loved (first season anyway), great fight scenes, good music, a fun vibe, etc.

He came across as an a-hole because that's what he was... then. Yes, Melody Perkins was a terrible actress, but at least she was ridiculously hot. Let's not try to climb onto any moral high grounds, either; part of the appeal of PR to any member of its disproportionately large male audience past puberty is the fact that the women who get cast on it range from pretty to smoking hot. The lack of romance between Andros and Ashley never really bothered me; it was better than Kimberly breaking up with Tommy via a letter, at least. ;) The Ninja Turtles team-up would've been embarrassing in any series; it just happened to fall in PRiS. Justin is lame, I'll give you that one, but Adam's return later on in PRiS balanced it out, and the PRiS/LG team-up in the next series makes for a pretty good set of team-up episodes that the Space Rangers were involved in overall.

Every series has its flaws, including MMPR. I hate Billy with a burning passion the more I see of him, the plots were less ambitious, Bulk and Skull were still annoyingly ham-fisted "comedy" relief, Rita and her collection of retards are some of the least effective villains in PR history outside of creating the Green Ranger, etc. PR is by no means an amazingly great show in any series; every single one has more than its fair share of flaws.

It's all just trade-offs. Personally, I'd take a better storyline, actual character growth, and villains who seem genuinely intimidating over good music and fun vibes.

How did Countdown to Destruction disrespect everything that came before it, anyway? I thought it was a great finale to that era of PR.

But the campiness in MMPR helps you ignore the flaws. In PRiS, since they were being "serious" the flaws are more in your face than before.

C2D should included every Rangers from those six seasons. And, Andros, killing Zordon was ridiculous. Andros didn't even give a crap about Zordon for half the season. Someone like Tommy and Jason should have had the honor.

The nostalgia helps you ignore the flaws. That is MMPR's advantage. In fact, it is Power Rangers' advantage in general. Like I stated earlier, nostalgia is what is keeping this franchise alive. I loved the show as a kid, but now I acknowledge that it's garbage. And, yes, I am talking about PR in general and not any specific season.

PR could have been great, but Saban was a moron. Disney isn't any smarter either.

Ways MMPR could have been great
1. A bigger budget/Not being cheap!
2. No stock footage
3. Costumes that matched the quality fabric of their Sentai counterpart
4. 5 teenagers with attitude? How about showing Zordon and Alpha doing their research instead of picking 5 random kids?!?!?!
5. Zordon and Rita's past should have been explored a lot more.
6. Rita should have attacked at other times besides after school.
7. Their personal life should have been really screwed up as a result of their PR duties.
8. Citizens should have been harmed during monster attacks and megazord battles.
9. Jason and Tommy's feud should have gone beyond the Gung Ho episode.
10. Tommy and Kimberly's relationship should have been more realistic and perhaps graphic.
11. More social issues WITHOUT it being preachy.

A flawed red ranger is fine and dandy but leaving four people who have no experience with space travel on some random planet to find their own way home was beyond flawed. Not to mention the fact that when he saw that Alpha was still on his ship he looked like he had no intention of turning around and returning him/her/it to the others

but Adam's return later on in PRiS balanced it out

Were the Zeo powers still functional back then? If they were than Adam using his busted up morpher instead of his Zeonizer (sp?) was more stupid than Carlos wanting to quit because he accidently tapped Cassie on the arm with his Lunar Lance.

I liked Turbo up until Tommy left and was replaced by T.J. (Who sucked as a leader Big Time)

I'll Admit The Series finale was at best Good .
