Power Rangers Anyone?

[RangerKing]

Does anyone still watch this show and enjoy it/what are your thoughts on it. I've watched the show from the very beinning and really enjoy it, hell I even have a website on it.

I'm not a mod or an admin, but I'm going to instate a rule. No anti-Disney/anti-Saban talk. If you have beef you say something like "You know the explosions are not something I'm fond of and I would prefer Disney not do that, etc".

Huh?

[RangerKing]

Power Rangers? Let me explain...Power Rangers was a television program that debuted in 1993 and featured five to six teenagers who's destiny was to protect the world from aliens, demons, mutants, orgs (beings created through man's pollution), and cyborgs. Almost every year a new ranger replaces an old ranger or even a whole team is replaced with new suits and weapons though they most likely will meet in a team-up with the current team in the coming year.

[tecnowraith]

Some of the other show premises have been ok. Their new one for next will be based arong magic and mythical creatures like the pheonix, unicorn, dragon, and a few others. Think Power Rangers meets Harry Potter :).

[RangerKing]

I can't make heads nor tails of most of your post. But yes it will involve magic but its not Power Rangers meets Harry Potter just because it involves magic. And next season is called Mystic Force.

[PyroChamber]

I think it's more fun to talk about the different cliches and all the dumb stuff that Power Rangers had over the years. SPD is good, but there really hasn't been any good stuff to happen yet, I guess later in the season.

And like I've said before, the female rangers this time around are hot.

sounds likr they want a composite of power rangers and their cancelled series mystic knights of tyr nanog[excuse the spelling]

[Joseph_Freefall]

I used to watch the first few generations when I was younger. I stopped after a bit. Though I incidentally ran into a very nice episode of Power Rangers: Wild Force called "Forever Red". It was a treat to see Jason and Tommy again. And some of the others, too.

[Jager X]

i was a HUGE fan during the mighty morphin' era but as soon as turbo came along i dropped the show like a red hot pipe.

[Happenstance]

I watched until the end of Space then stopped. They really ruined it when they stopped doing actual seasons and just changed the rangers after every season. The mighty Morphin then zeo etc were definately the best, it was always linked together

[Joseph_Freefall]

Too true, Happenstance.

[RangerKing]

It's because the show went SAG during Turbo so each year an actor was on the show their pay would go up so it was cheaper to change the cast. However in some way each actor has come back to the show except for Thuy Trang (Trini), David Yost (Billy), Karan Ashley (Aisha), Nakia Burrise (Tanya), Russell Lawrence (Mike), and all six Wild Force ranger actors which is very good. But I like the team-ups (aka reunions) because it allows you to see the actors possibly one last time.

[Lethal Venom]

Power Rangers never fight good :mad: it's obviously there faking it and there acting is crap :)

As for Yost, last I heard he was teaching cancer-ridden children theater, so that's another possible not-gonna-happen.

[RangerKing]

Well what I'm getting at is at least every actor comes back but obviously Thuy Trang can't anymore.

[Drakon]

Yeah, and it's kinda sad. I always thought she had the most personality of the original rangers.

[Darthkush]

I watched it religiously from mighty morphin to in space but then i stopped for a long time. I watched all of power rangers dino thunder. That was pretty good. SPD was watchable but that time i was tired of it again.

Btw in space and dino thunder i've seen a few episodes of lightspeed rescue and ninja storm and basically one or two episodes of every variation.

[Phantomex]

I watched some of the first season, didn't have cable at the time so that was hit or miss. But at the time I thought it was cool Green Ranger with the dragon was awsome. Lost track of it for years after that, but bought my satalite dish about the time the Lost Galaxy came on. I thought it was great but I haven't really liked any of the series since as much, hated that they took orders from a hamster in Ninja Storm. Although SPD is ok from what I've seen.

[deathshead2]

I steull watch it spd is getting better with every episode real great. I want to see dvd box sets but that will never happen.

[U.S War Machine]

Man I watched power rangers when I was like 3 my favorite was Jason the red ranger but now it's Old School.

[RangerKing]

Taking orders from a GUINEA PIG is no different than taking orders from a head in a mason jar, 3000 year old princess, or a big blue dog.

[MysticKotenks]

I still watch that show it is still preety good

[3dman27]

Yeah, and it's kinda sad. I always thought she had the most personality of the original rangers.
agreed RIP ms trang

[Darthkush]

I steull watch it spd is getting better with every episode real great. I want to see dvd box sets but that will never happen.

how come it will never happen? Why aren't there any power ranger box sets? I think(at LEAST) the first season or two would be a decent hit on dvd. I'd buy it in a heartbeat and I think a lot of people(even people in their 20's and teens) would buy the first season. I'm 22 but that show represents one of the last times I got obsessed with a kids' show and i want it, dagnabit!

[RangerKing]

Because Disney doesn't think the target audience would spend that kind of money (simply they don't have that kind of money) and parents wouldn't either on 38-60 episodes of a show.

[Darthkush]

Because Disney doesn't think the target audience would spend that kind of money (simply they don't have that kind of money) and parents wouldn't either on 38-60 episodes of a show.

yeah, but disney forgets about all those people in their late teens early 20's who also watched the show and would gladly shell out 35 bucks for a 4 disc set!:cool:

I seriously think there's a market for it. I don't think they should realize EVERY season(as really that just wouldn't work). But I think if they tried to sell all of mighty morphin, they'd make a profit. I also think Zeo and maybe even Dino Thunder might do okay.

[spider-jide]

Ahh power rangers. Mighty Morphin power rangers is by far the best era of power rangers. Like many others I was there from the start, watching it when I was like 8 years old, hard to believe the show is still running after 12 years. I remember when Jason, Zach and Trini left, I was p1ssed, they were the best, I still watched it with the replacement actors but when Mighty Morphin ended and zeo kicked in, it was adios power rangers.

btw does anyone remember those knock off shows like mask rider, vr troopers and big bad bettle borgs? Those shows sucked lol.

[RangerKing]

Those weren't knock off shows due to the fact that those three shows were produced by the same production company/network. The true knock offs would be shows like Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad. Also if you watch more current seasons you'd find out really fast that the first three seasons weren't the best. Also there is NO market for season DVDs because they are going to be only trying to sell to the target audience. They have no idea on the market for older fans and they know that kids only think "the newer the better" hence why they only sell current seasons on VHS/DVD and even those are select episodes.

[[Faustinas]]

The next incarnation will be called Mystic Force, right? Sounds like a killer premise..

[PyroChamber]

I don't know about anyone else, but I think Power Rangers In Space was the best season. All the monsters were killed, Rita and Lord Zedd became human (and Damn, Rita was fine!), Angel Grove found out the identity of the Rangers in public, and Zordon died; plus the story of Andros and Astronema/Karone, can't get better than that.

Also, I'm wondering how they're gonna do the team up for S.P.D and Dino Thunder, that's if they do one.

have you ever been to Rangerboard? Doesn't that site alone prove that there's a market for older fans? It's especially baffling since that forum has had the major coup of getting actors and writers from the show to actually visit their forums(I know the second Black power ranger, Johny Yong Bosch showed up one day during my lurking there and caused a foaming frenzy).

Oh, and Pyrochamber, yes, Rita Repulsa turned out to be shockingly hot when they took off all that armor and makeup lol. Part of that is because they used an old woman for her during MMPR season 1 and then in season 2, they started using some chick in her 20's under heavy makeup. Without the makeup? DIZZAMN!:hyper:

[RangerKing]

Yes I know about RangerBoard I've been there myself but quite frankly there's more kid fans than adult fans even some of the elite branch of the Power Rangers fandom knows that and says it themselves. Also I was the one who brought Johnny Yong Bosch there after I did an interview with him.

[my0pic_spidey]

i quit this show ten years ago:bomb:

[spider-jide]

^^ best decision you ever made. After Mightty Morrphi the show just became garbage, the only incentive to watching the show was the addition of hot chicks but even that was barely enough.

[Riggs15382]

this may be a little disturbing, but some people have matured and grown out of that 6-year-old crap

[Riggs15382]

double post

[Riggs15382]

:bomb: :spidey: :daredevil :cyclops: :doom: :down

[RangerKing]

Umm knock knock what do you call people watching superhero cartoons (like JLU) and going to buy comics and seeing comic hero movies? That's kind of retarded to what you call 6 year old crap.

[Jager X]

am i the only one who thinks that the golden chestplate looked better on jason than tommy?don't get me wrong the green ranger looked hard as hell but immediately after he lost that chestplate and gave it to jason i knew then what made him look so special.damn that chestplate could make any ranger look good but too bad i didn't get the chance to see billy or zack wear it.

also after mighty morphin' ended and zeo began,i never followed the show with 1/3 as much passion as the original but once jason became the gold ranger i regained that passion only to lose it when that damn turbo came about.

[user123456789]

I loved the 'mighty morphin' era, but i saw an episode of power ranger generations or something like that, and i couldn't stop laughing at how i actually believed the stuff they did was real. it looks so fake to an educated mind.

[RangerKing]

Well DUH even a mentally impaired person could figure out it isn't real.

[Incrediblejeff]

I still Watch it SPD is Pretty good.

[Riggs15382]

Umm knock knock what do you call people watching superhero cartoons (like JLU) and going to buy comics and seeing comic hero movies? That's kind of retarded to what you call 6 year old crap.
I dont watch superhero cartoons. And besides, its not like superhero movies are rated "G." Power Rangers are meant for kids, not adults with the mind of a child

[RangerKing]

No but comic books are geared towards children and teenagers but happens to have an older fanbase, like Power Rangers. And also those movies are most likely supposed to bring in more children because of the mass amount of toys and children movie novels that various companies release.

[Riggs15382]

power rangers doesnt have an older fanbase. It's just you

[RangerKing]

There is an older fan base. Here's some websites and message boards devoted to it formed by older fans.

[deathshead2]

Hey I go to a lot of those sites every time I go to them, it makes me just want power rangers in dvd box sets but sadly it won't happen intel someone who is a fan becomes the head of disney.

[Darthkush]

Actually, both RangerKing and Riggs are sorta mistaken.

Rangerking claims that comics are made for kids and teens but has a large adult fanbase. Not true. Kids and teens DON'T READ comic books anymore. It's almost an exclusively adult industry now. The companies try to cater to younger readers but they don't usually take the bait and buy a video game instead.

Riggs believes that there is no older fanbase for Power rangers. Yes there is. It's all over the net. Why don't you know any personally? Because nobody is dumb enough to tell every Tom, Moe, and Larry,"hey i love power rangers!" unless they WANT to be made fun of.

[RangerKing]

So what do you all think of S.P.D. Omega Ranger? Who happens to be Sam from the Sam two parter.

[PyroChamber]

Who was Sam, and is he/she an official full time Ranger now?

[Manic]

I remember watching Mighty Morphin religiously when I was younger. I even have the Power Rangers movie on tape around here somewhere. I watched all the way up until Zeo, when they replaced Aisha with her ugly cousin, Tanya. Then I started watching on a less regular basis.

Then they switched to Turbo. I hated the movie, and watched only a handful of episodes of the show before I caught the episode when they came up with a flimsy reason to find replacements. Then I stopped watching.

Then I caught the last episode of In Space, simply because I heard it was the end of Power Rangers. Forever!

Then those jerks made Lost Galaxy, and the entire Power Rangers franchise became dead to me.

Then Time Force started airing on mornings before I left for (high) school, and I started getting into it again. Then Wild Force started, and I started ignoring the show again.

Then Ninja Storm sucked me back into the whole freaking franchise. Now I'm a fan, again.

I had this same relationship with new incarnations of He-Man and GI Joe, throughout childhood.

[TheStrider]

i was a HUGE fan during the mighty morphin' era but as soon as turbo came along i dropped the show like a red hot pipe.Much agreed, I liked the old episodes, when Tommy was the green ranger and all. Gotta' miss the old days.

Ninja Storm did the same for me. After seasons of rolling my eyes everytime I came across various versions of PR this one made me stop and watch it. Then Dino Thunder/Abaranger came on...ugh..

SPD/Dekaranger is alright though.

[TheStrider]

I want to see original rangers, a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Reunion!

[jaydawg]

Its one of those shows you loved as a kid, but you watch it know and its like, I loved this crap? I was a hardcore Might Morphin fan, and Jason, of course, was my favorite. But I really got pissed off when Tommy became leader and once, Rocky took over, I was gone. I moved on to BTAS, Spider-man:TAS and X-men, which had so many more mature stories. I occasionally watched episodes from various series, but only if nothing else was on. I did like that Lightspeed one the most out of all the new series. Although I dont remember which series it was, but there was this one episode where every red ranger appeared and it was kick ass, if only for nostalgia sake.... although naming Tommy the best Red Ranger is just retarded.

[King Ruler]

Yeah, I always thought Tommy was HIGHLY overrated. He was good and all, but I mean, Json was STILL the first. He should get some credit.
I really liked it when Jason became the Gold Ranger. He shoulda stayed that way.
And for the record: WILDFORCE WAS THE GAYEST OF THEM ALL! (IMO)

[PyroChamber]

That's what's interesting about PR, whenever there's a new ranger he/she will be more powerful than the other rangers put together; but as soon as they end up joining the team they suddenly become just like the regular rangers, that's what I didn't like about Tommy's first run as the Green Ranger.

But I actually watch until they went into Lightspeed, then I stopped watching. It wasn't until I saw Ninja Storm, then I get hooked once again.

Was I the only one that DIDN'T know some of the footage was done in Japan when they watched it as a kid?

[TheStrider]

Seems they were based on japanese heroes.

It shows you all of the Rangers there have ever been, starting from 1975's 'Himitsu Sentai Goranger' to 2005 present time 'Mahou Sentai Magiranger'.

And just a little something, I don't know how many Episodes the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had, but the original had only 50 Episodes. And they had only one consistent MegaZord. All other Zords that followed after were all taken from different seasons of different Rangers.

As an example, the Ninja Zord you see here belonged originally to the Kakuranger.

[The Last Meatbag]

ummmm...........I liked it until I was 7

[RangerKing]

I want to see original rangers, a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Reunion!
Virtually impossible with the fact that Trini's actress (Thuy Trang) is dead and the fact that Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly) and David Yost (Billy) have no care for the show anymore.

Also yes Sam is a full ranger. Sam is the last child of the original S.P.D. Power Rangers team and was much younger than the others probably by eight years. He, like the other six S.P.D. offspring, had a power and his was teleportation. When he traveled to the year 2025 to stop Morgana and two other criminals (who would've finally taken over the Earth for Emperor Gruumm and would've ruled with him) from the year 2040. However by going through a time portal his "flesh" body was turned into a cristalized ball of light.

The episode was called "Forever Red" and was meant to mark the 10th anniversary of Power Rangers with a team-up of ten rangers, one to mark each incarnation rather than season because Mighty Morphin' consisted of 3 seasons.

Also to me a real fan watches every season (granted some are too young, don't have access to certain channels/websites) but for the older fans, I've done it (and some I don't like as much as others) so I hate it when people call themselves fans yet don't even acknowledge certain seasons or say it became dead yet they are still fans of the show. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Considering each season is now different from the last, I'd say it's possible to be a fan of only certain seasons. I'm a fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Alien Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Ninja Storm, and Power Rangers SPD. The other seasons can kiss my you-know-what.

[TheStrider]

Trini died?? How?

[3dman27]

a car crash during a thunderstorm as i understand it
i may be in error though

[RangerKing]

No just a simple car accident during rush hour. How? She wasn't wearing her seat belt.

Considering each season is now different from the last, I'd say it's possible to be a fan of only certain seasons.
Not in my book it's not, in order to be a true fan in my book you have to watch all 534+ episodes because its the same show. Now you can be a fan of certain seasons or just the show itself but if you don't watch all seasons then you're just a fan, not a true fan. But that's just my own view.

[3dman27]

thank you rangerking
i stand corrected

[U.S War Machine]

Nothing can beat the old school power rangers!

[Nathan]

Nothing can beat the old school power rangers!

There are a quite few. Like the Hurricanger and Dekaranger. Looking back, the american version of the Power Rangers was corny as hell. Luckily I found out about the real stuff.

[RangerKing]

Only the first season was "corny as hell" as you put it, seasons since they are actually decent or better.

[Nathan]

Only the first season was "corny as hell" as you put it, seasons since they are actually decent or better.

The last time I watched a Episodes of the americanized Power Rangers, I saw the heroes trapped in a cub of Popcorn soaked in butter and the villains were sitting in the theater watching a Movie. :down

[Admiral Socks]

That was a classic ep!

And yeah, the seasons really started to get corning during timeforce [with the horrible matrix rip offs], light speed, lost galaxy, and wild force. Dino's only saving grace was the hotty pink ranger. I caught only a few of dino thunder and found it mediocre. Of the past 7 years or so, Ninja Storm was by far oen fo the best. The characters all seemed interesting and I didn't get sickof seeing a powerranger shot in the face and sparks flying from his chest.

[RangerKing]

That was a episode a filler, and once in a while you'll get those stupid episodes in any show. You can't base your opinions on one episode you saw like eight seasons after the original three seasons, that's like looking at book's cover and judging the book based on that.

Dude you're CRAZY Dino Thunder is generally loved by most fans (both TRUE and CASUAL). The "matrix ripoffs" came from Japan not actually from Power Rangers itself. You are the what some would call a MMPR Nazi. You perfer things to be more campy and be more like the original and/or you'd like to see more connections to the past (though we have enough every season). Lost Galaxy? Lightspeed Rescue? Time Force? Wild Force? They are all very good seasons.

[Admiral Socks]

What? I said Dino Thunder was okay and I'm a nazi? I found Ninja Storm one of the best seasons of power rangers. I never asked for a plethora of flashback eps, thanks for making bad assumptions.

[RangerKing]

Not my assumptions, I'm just letting you know what some (obviously not me) would say.

[Frank]

eh..I think most American fans only liked it more because Tommy came back. If it hadn't been for that I know I wouldn't have watched it.

[RangerKing]

You're taking your personal expierences and putting it into the mouths of thousands of people when that's false. There's a lot of fans (like me) who don't pick and choose what seasons were going to watch and which ones we are, we do it because it has become a habit.

[Admiral Socks]

Actually, I only followed the wilde force and ninja storm because it was on while I was getting ready for school. Granted I was 17-18, but still.

[Darthkush]

eh..I think most American fans only liked it more because Tommy came back. If it hadn't been for that I know I wouldn't have watched it.

That's how it was for me. I had stopped watching after "In space" but hearing Tommy was returning, I tried Dino Thunder, loved it and watched the entire series of it. SPD was OKAY but I quickly got tired of it and stopped after only like 8 episodes or so.

[PyroChamber]

Then they switched to Turbo. I hated the movie.I think just about EVERYBODY hated that movie.

I mean, with the first movie they at least went a different direction with the look of the rangers, the bad guys, the zords, the command center, Alpha and Zordon, even Angel Grove looked different. They tired something different and it worked.

With the Turbo movie, it's like they didn't even try anything different, it was pretty much like watching a 2 hour episode of the show, and let's not get started with Justin.

[TheStrider]

I'm sorry but you can be a fan of a season, you don't have to watch all the queer incarnations.

[RangerKing]

Yes you can, but not a true fan. I just said that many posts ago. Also I loved the second movie and hated the first. You don't spend millions on a movie and not even be able to use it in the actual series, the Turbo movie is how the first one could have been.

[americanguy96]

I thought every season was cool up until Lost Galaxy. Space was awesome, but after that the show lost momentum.

[Frank]

Yes you can, but not a true fan. I just said that many posts ago. Also I loved the second movie and hated the first. You don't spend millions on a movie and not even be able to use it in the actual series, the Turbo movie is how the first one could have been.
they did it like that because back then it semed more like they wanted PR to be it's own entity..they just borrowed elements and monsters and costumes from sentai and tried to leave it at that. Looking at it from that perspective i like the first movie better. Even though the second one is based on the series it's direct to video quality.

[TheStrider]

I just don't see how you can like every single incarnation of the Power Rangers, some of them are just, retarded.

[RangerKing]

Because I take them really for all they are worth and because each season doesn't have the same cast as the one before I can't really judge them against each other. And despite what some people say, there were cast changes way before Lost Galaxy once a season.
Season One: Original Six
Season Two: Jason, Zack, Trini to Rocky, Adam, Aisha
Season Three: Kimberly and Aisha (though not official till Zeo) to Katherine and Tanya
Zeo: Aisha and Trey to Tanya (now official) and Jason
Turbo: Rocky, Tommy, Katherine, Tanya, Adam to Justin, T.J., Cassie, Ashley, and Carlos
Space: Justin to Andros
Galaxy: New cast but Kendrix to Karone
Lightspeed to S.P.D.: each season has a completely new cast without changes

[Darthkush]

Yes you can, but not a true fan. I just said that many posts ago. Also I loved the second movie and hated the first. You don't spend millions on a movie and not even be able to use it in the actual series, the Turbo movie is how the first one could have been.

But....Turbo was like, ULTRA low budget. At least the first movie looked like they spent money on it. How in the world was Turbo a better movie?

I remember seeing both movies in the theatre. The first movie was a fun experience with a big crowd. The 2nd movie was me, my brother and mother and one other family in an empty theatre...OPENING WEEKEND!:eek: I remember thinking"wow, this year hasn't been great for movies for me. Oh well, Batman and Robin is coming out soon and then all will be right". How wrong I was.:down

[RangerKing]

Actually the movie and season had one of the HIGHEST budgets in franchise history. And I base this on how much continuity something has. Since the first movie had zero and the second movie had everything to do with the series, I hate the first movie. If it was a standalone with nothing attached, it would be a pretty good movie.

[Nathan]

Today I watched for the first time the Intro of the Americanized version of SPD.

What did they do to Doggie Kruger? :(

[PyroChamber]

What? I think he looks better in the American version. Also, anyone who's see all the Super Sentai season, do they have the team ups too?

And maybe I'm seeing things, but I thought I saw one of the new rangers bust out a breakdance move on S.P.D.

[Nathan]

What? I think he looks better in the American version.

.... :eek:

He looks fugly!

Also, anyone who's see all the Super Sentai season, do they have the team ups too?

I've sadly never seen all of the Sentai seasons, so far only the Hurricanger and Dekaranger. But team ups never occured in the series. They were only teaming up in Movie Specials.

And just a little something, I don't know how many Episodes the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had, but the original had only 50 Episodes. And they had only one consistent MegaZord. All other Zords that followed after were all taken from different seasons of different Rangers.

As an example, the Ninja Zord you see here belonged originally to the Kakuranger.

And the Thunderzord belonged originally to the Dairanger.

Dairanger had the best costumes by far, the white ranger came from that show:up:

And he was a little kid I think. Maybe a Prince of some sort.

[Silver Sable]

Ever since they became Zeo, it started to suck :mad:

[Nathan]

You should watch the original. It's really worthwhile to watch compared to the American uh... filth? No. Bastardization? hmm... still not the word I'm searching for.

Well, It's just better.

[Colossal Spoons]

I remember an episode of Dino Thunder(I think) that paid tribute to Sentai by taking place mostly in Japan. It was about some baseball player.

[deathshead2]

Today I watched for the first time the Intro of the Americanized version of SPD.

What did they do to Doggie Kruger? :(



They made him not look like a crappy stuffed animal thats what.I really like the new DC he looks much better.

[Nathan]

He looks like Yoshi.

And even though the Japanese version looked like a stuffed puppet, he had style.

[deathshead2]

What do you mean by style .

[Nathan]

Watch the Japanese episodes and you know what I mean by it. He also had some serious attitude. :up:

[BlackSymbiote]

I remember an episode of Dino Thunder(I think) that paid tribute to Sentai by taking place mostly in Japan. It was about some baseball player.

It was Dino Thunder, but the episode had the American Rangers watching a horribly dubbed episode of Abaranger.

[Nathan]

Horribly as in cheap 70s Kung Fu Movie dubs?

[deathshead2]

Watch the Japanese episodes and you know what I mean by it. He also had some serious attitude. :up::( can't I'm downloading some kamen rider movie

[deathshead2]

Horribly as in cheap 70s Kung Fu Movie dubs?yeah real bad and it was an episode about a hair monster or something real lame.

[Nathan]

Hey, did Doggie already fight 100 robots in the american Episodes? I wanna download that specific Episode to see if they retained his attitude.

[deathshead2]

yeah that episode was badass it was in shadow pt2 real cool and the fight with the general was cool DC was real pissed that Kat was taken.

[Incrediblejeff]

The SPD/DT Team-up is tonight,I personally hope it's good last years was great.but they could've made it a 2 parter.

[GL1]

Heh... I watched the first three seasons like, all the time, by the time the movie came out it sunk from a show I loved to a show I liked a lot... and then the turbo movie and the addition of a kid ranger, and then an afro-am red ranger, and then then sitting on the verge of having star trek's sci-fi appeal for a season in Space... of course, then they totally ditched ALL of that and skipped off to some lost galaxy, and I got turned off, pretty much permanently...

I glanced at Wild Force a bit, especially the Forever Red episode... that was cool... I checked on some Ninja Storm, the first few episodes of that were fun... I've seen a few eps of SPD, and I thought that was pretty great, especially the way the first two eps played out... In general, Power Rangers seems to have a TON of potential, but it always falls short of it's premise to me... at least they have slow-mo wire fu and lots of explosions now...

[BlackSymbiote]

yeah real bad and it was an episode about a hair monster or something real lame.

I think it was part ATM or a piggy bank, since it everyone who got wigged started throwing money around like candy.

[deathshead2]

Just watched the teamup I must say very good to bad the only way to see wormhole is to buy the dvd.

[Incrediblejeff]

What a disapointing team-up,It should have been a two parter.

[Colossal Spoons]

Man, listening to the songs from Time Force, Lost Galaxy, and Zeo just gave me the most nostalgic feeling ever. I really miss being younger and getting all excited when PR would come on. I'm sad now.

[Kane]

PR sucks. Thanks to Disney. And Rangerking is a douche, he actually got banned from Rangerboard.com by popular demand....dissed by Power Ranger fans, a new low.

[Sonny]

i liked all the og's but for some reason, ns and dt, those two cats had great chemistry between oeach other and could pull me in to the story. It made it more beleiveable for me. IMO.

[Darthkush]

What's so bad about an afro-am Red Ranger? Was it the T.J. character on Turbo that you didn't like or do you just have a problem with a black character becoming their leader?Seriously, that sounds kinda racist and I don't think there's anybody who would disagree with that.

Saw the team-up episode tonight and I was quite pleased. I think it's cause I love the Dino Thunder team so much. They had the best series since the original Mighty Morphin' team. Yeah, it should've been a two-parter and I kept wondering why Trent wasn't there(Tommy, not so much. I knew Frank wouldn't come back for something as small as this) but it was good.

I haven't watched S.P.D. in quite a while though. Can somebody tell me who the hell is the Omega Ranger? He wasn't listed in the credits or anything except at the end. Do the rangers know who he is yet? What's the deal? Somebody fill me in.

[Kane]

Its because the producers were idiots and overbudgeted, they couldnt afford an actor to play Omega... so they made him a flying ball of light...its quite lame.

and Space, Lost Galaxy and Time Force were the best series, especially TF

wow, a flying ball of light?! That might be the dumbet thing i've ever heard to come from Power Rangers and Power rangers has had a LOT of dumb crap so that's quite a statement.

[Kane]

Ya its quite gay. The show has gone downhill ever since lameass Disney took over. FoxKids Ruled!

[Darthkush]

hmmm, according to the folks at Rangerboard and imdb, the yellow ranger from dino thunder and the red one from s.p.d. are dating. wow, interacial ranger lovin!

hehhehe I have way too much time on my hands. I'm also an uber nerd for spending this much time looking up power ranger crap lol.

[Kane]

Yea Emma Lahana.. they may have broken up by now. She seems to have suddenly decided to back out of this convention appearance with him.

Emma does have whacked taste in men anyways, she used to have a thing for Bob Saget.

I am back with a link that well...you have to see to believe(especially if you're an old school PR fan and remember this cast member from season 2. wow. and it appears to be real too. wow. lol)...

i'm tempted to email him but I wouldn't know what to say. he sure does like the ladies lol.

[PyroChamber]

Does anyone think a power ranger movie would work today, if it was along the line of the first movie where the look of everything was changed?

[Incrediblejeff]

Just watched the teamup I must say very good to bad the only way to see wormhole is to buy the dvd.

Actually it leaked online at rangerboard it's part 2 to the team-up Trent & Tommy show up and so does Zeltrax it's waay better than History.

[Nathan]

yeah that episode was badass it was in shadow pt2 real cool and the fight with the general was cool DC was real pissed that Kat was taken.


....

Oh god.... I just watched some of it. This Doggie Kruger is a pale shadow of the original. He isn't even that much. The US Doggie screams, waggles with his hands and talks way too much nonsense.

Doggie Kruger was the epitome of cool. He almost even didn't give a damn when he saw the 100 Robots. He looked calm to the right, then to the left, and said "About a hundred?" *takes shades off* "The count is perfect." *throws shades away*

And just to add a little something, his nickname in the original is, well was, "Jigoku no Banken". Translated "Guarddog of hell". :cool:

What nickname does the Yoshi version have? :o


And before I forget, the Japanese Kruger is so badass, he severed a fuze with a deflected bullet.

Yep, Rockys a washed up girl on girl loving drunk who cleans peepshow floors now. What a career.

Yep, the American version of Doggie Kruger is on crack. He cant even hold his morpher properly and his dreads are pissing me off.

Yep, the teamup wasnt that great. Alot of stuff crammed into one episode. "Wormhole" (the 2nd teamup) was one of the worst episodes in PR History (and thats saying a whole lot).. They couldnt even contract Tommy to return, so they showed the Black Ranger fully morphed and had Trent do Tommy's voice, it was totally retarded.

I was wondering why he never powered down. So does this make 7 rangers? The originnal 5, Omega, and Kruger. 7 rangers is unheard of, 6 is the magic number!

And Sky should have been the leader; the Red Ranger. Jack annoys me. Crugers pretty dumb for giving a homeless street rat the Red SPD Morpher and leadership over cadets who have been trained by SPD for years, bad writing.

When did part 2 air? I thought part 1 only aired last night. Is part 2 gonna come on again?

[Kane]

Its on DVD only. You can download it online...but it really isnt worth it, its a waste of space. And its not part 2, its a seperate teamup all together.

At the end, everyone gets their memories erased including the SPD rangers and Cruger, so the whole thing was really pointless.

I doubt it, but that does not mean they're not hot. :p

They've really screwed over with everything the Power Rangers used to be. Totally lost the mystic aspect as opposed to all the tech stuff.

got a link to the download? also, why did it not air on tv?

Harley-yep, s.p.d. girls ARE hot. american and japanese versions are both highly doable.

[Kane]

Syd is hot. Z looks like Peg Bundy.. not cool. And I dont have the link but it didnt air on TV as part of Disneys plan to sell the DVDs. Its a DVD bonus.

Dekaranger had ten, although the tenth one was movie only and only morphed for about three seconds. The ninth one was in only one episode.

They had the perfect oppurtunity to use DekaBright in the SWAT training sequence in SWAT part 2.


http://www.supersentai.com/database/2004_dekaranger/images/04-dekagold.jpg
Don't expect DekaGold in SPD. Like I said, three seconds before she got shot during the transformation and never transformed again.

So far Magiranger/Mystic Force is gearing up to have seven, possibly eight.

[BlackSymbiote]

She's even hotter in person. I got to meet her at the San Diego Comic Con in July.

Anyway, DON'T see Wormhole. It's the worst episode of the entire series.

REally? what did you guys talk about? She also seems semi-attainable too cause she's pretty young. She's only 21, I believe(which makes her right in my ballpark. I'm 22.;) ). Is she single? lol

Pink Ranger is pretty but somehow she seems kinda ran through. I remember she looked way prettier in Jailbait and now she just doesn't look the same.

[BlackSymbiote]

Never really had a chance to say anything. There was a Power Rangers panel which she was part of, then an autograph signing. Had to run though and couldn't really hang around because it was a 24 hour drive back home.

I wish I could've had a conversation. Ah well, there's always next year.

[Casius--J]

I loved the show when it was mighty morphin the stories were great and it followed on through each season. I loved it up until the end around the Zeo episodes, i cant remember exactly when I stopped watchin but I know by the time turbo was on i wasnt watchin. The new ones are absolute crap, they have their moments think an ep of wild force had some great fightin in. Dino thunder is kinda cool, i think it had the most potential and has that nostalgic feel cause of the dino's and tommy bein in it.
I think it would be great if they released the dvd boxsets i'd buy them.

Wow... I must've said that WAAAY wrong.... When they changed to TJ that's part of what kept me on rangers, even thru space when he got "demoted" to blue...

And, honestly, the fact that Jack is the Red ranger in SPD (as opposed to the cliche, arrogant rule-cruncher, Sky) is pretty danged cool... when he came in and wrecked shop with his two blasters, I was a happy, happy man.

You should see Dekaranger episode 1. SPD uses the same footage as Deka for that scene, except DekaRed's guns use bullets and look cooler.

[chosen1]

They need a power rangers show for adults. And if they cant do that They need a Ranger show similair to Jusice league Unlimited. Focusing on the Original Six rangers and spawn off different rangers guest starring each episode. I would say keep tommy as evil green ranger made over w/ imrprovements And have the shocker Zordon return as the white ranger to lead the other six.

I think it would be really cool to do either and animated series or a comic book or something with a more mature interpretation of the original mighty morphin' power rangers. I've always liked the idea of taking the 5 original rangers(jason, zack, trini, kimberly, and billy) and making them rangers who weren't even all friends. In fact, several of them don't like each other and maybe we could have more romantic relationships(not just hinting at one like with kat/tommy or kim/tommy). Tommy could still be Green Ranger but he would remain evil and be his own villain. Not some cronie of Rita. Rita and Zedd would be two different factions as well. Goldar serves neither of them, he's his own villain too who occasionally would align himself with either of those two. There would also have to be a more practical reason why the monsters have to "grow" all the time, not just a half a$$ed excuse to see the dinozords. I would also have an expanded team eventually. i would bring in Rocky, Adam, and Aisha as different colored rangers. Maybe orange, white, and gold or something. I would make Power Rangers more like X-men basically. Occasionally, characters would die and villains would die too.

I think older fans of the franchise have finally become enough of a part of the fanbase that something like that could do really well if presented in the right format. Obviously, it wouldn't be in theatres, but maybe a primetime animated series or something might do the trick.

[Darthkush]

Just watched "Wormhole". Took me like 3 hours to download. Was it worth it?


Eh, it was decent. Not nearly as bad as some of you have said but it wasn't nearly as good as "History".

I only had two gripes really:

-They couldn't even get Jason Frank to do ADR for tommy? I don't think that would've been too much to ask. He didn't HAVE to be in New Zealand to do it did he?
-I would've liked to see something other than one very long fight scene. How about an actual story? I don't mind fight scenes and all(this is power Rangers afterall) but that one just never ended, it just kept going and going and going and going. I'm glad i'm not an epileptic that's for sure.

Loved seeing the Dino Thunder team again though. Emma Lahana(Kira) seems to get even hotter everytime she comes back. She must've been younger than I thought when she shot the Dino Thunder series cause she seriously looks a lot older to me here on s.p.d.

[Sam Fisher]

Yeah, the show was cool.







When I was 7.

[PyroChamber]

I desperately wish they had found cuter/better girls for SPD... and they look especially weak among the clear eye candy of Jasmine and Umeka...I think there should be a poll on here about who was the hottest female ranger, but then again everyone would just say Kimberly. I think Z is pretty hot depending on how she looks in the episode. Syd is ok, still can't believe she was the girl in Jailbait.

Did anyone ever have any of the Megazords? I had the Thunder Megazord, but after the movie came out I wanted the Ninja one too.

I had a Dragonzord.(only I had to share the green ranger who came with it with my brother) I had a smaller version of the Zeo Megazord and a mini regular Megazord.

I don't think Kimberly is THE hottest ranger but she was pretty hot back in the day. Now, she's pretty but back then, mmmmm.. I think Z and the In Space Rangers are both hotter now but back then, not so sure. anywho, i already replied on your topic about it. that's my list.

[Colossal Spoons]

Did anyone ever have any of the Megazords? I had the Thunder Megazord, but after the movie came out I wanted the Ninja one too.

I had them ALL up until In Space, then I passed the torch to my little brother and he has every one since then. My favorite had to be the Tigerzord, just cuz I would sing the song while I played with it...

White Ranger Tiger Power, White Ranger Tiger Powaaaa!

[BlackSymbiote]

Did anyone ever have any of the Megazords? I had the Thunder Megazord, but after the movie came out I wanted the Ninja one too.

I'm trying to get all of them after years of not collecting. Here's what I have so far:

Megazord
Thunder Megazord
Tigerzord
Tor
Ninja Megazord
Falconzord
Super Zeo Megazord
Warrior Wheel
Rescue Megazord
Mega Voyager
Lightspeed Megazord
Wild Force Megazord
Red Gorilla
Green Gorilla
Isis Megazord
GaoPanda (Japanese exclusive, EXTREMELY RARE).
Polar Bear and Bear Wild Zords
Animus Megazord
Mezadon Megazord (complete with Dimetrodon, Anklyo, Para)
Cephalo (Japanese only. Never released here).
Delta Squad Megazord (Mom bought it for me for Valentine's Day).
Delta Command Megazord (Mom bought it just cuz)

I'm obsessed. :D

[Harlekin]

I've got all of the Ninja zords, the Shogun zords, the Thunder zords, plus Tor and Tyrannus. I've got this original Megazord thing.

I've got nothing beyond the Blue Centurion figure when it comes to post-MMPR.

I was saying to myself that they should scrap the live action version and go animation. I love all your ideas i think treating it like the xmen would be awesome. Maybe some emails would be in order!!

[GL1]

I think it would be really cool to do either and animated series or a comic book or something with a more mature interpretation of the original mighty morphin' power rangers. I've always liked the idea of taking the 5 original rangers(jason, zack, trini, kimberly, and billy) and making them rangers who weren't even all friends. In fact, several of them don't like each other and maybe we could have more romantic relationships(not just hinting at one like with kat/tommy or kim/tommy). Tommy could still be Green Ranger but he would remain evil and be his own villain. Not some cronie of Rita. Rita and Zedd would be two different factions as well. Goldar serves neither of them, he's his own villain too who occasionally would align himself with either of those two. There would also have to be a more practical reason why the monsters have to "grow" all the time, not just a half a$$ed excuse to see the dinozords. I would also have an expanded team eventually. i would bring in Rocky, Adam, and Aisha as different colored rangers. Maybe orange, white, and gold or something. I would make Power Rangers more like X-men basically. Occasionally, characters would die and villains would die too.

Dude! I'd been thinking stuff like that a whole LOT recently... I personally would let characters die off rather than bringing Rocky and Adam and Aisha as weird colors, but having Tommy stay an independent villain is a pretty cool idea too... teaming up with the rangers and then, as soon as the immediate threat is over, instant free-for all. I had Jason as a real taskmaster and Billy was super-duper low on confidence and he was crushing on his only friend Trini who had a thng for Jason and it took like three episodes for them to even convince Kimberly to morph and help. Not until episode six or seven do the rangers get in over their heads and Zack comes in and wrecks shop as the most badass ranger anyone can find (y'know, except Tommy, who's more authoritatively creepily evil than badass).

And there was this other thing I had where Zack let the three gung ho rangers (Jason, Trini and Billy) use his Zord, but the megazord was getting it's behind HANDED to it all the time until Kimberly finally joined up and completed the chestplate, helmet and power levels...

Yeah... lots of ideas, I like yours tho...

[Darthkush]

heheh why is this thread so active? lol.


But yeah, I like both you guys' ideas too. The reason I haven't actually written anything is because ultimately it's pointless. Disney will NEVER let Power Rangers be a more adult thing so anything any of us came up with would just be floating on the net and that's all. There's a better chance of getting to write a live action Captain America or Green Lantern movie for people here than to be allowed to revamp the Power Rangers as we see fit, wacky as that sounds.:(

Since Tommy is my favorite ranger, I don't know if he'd neccessarily stay evil but I see him as more of like Spike from Buffy/Angel in that he sort of plays by his own rules. He helps if and when he wants to. The only other ranger i'd probably like to see at some point would be Katherine but I don't really know how i'd fit her in.

There's a really great fanfiction up at rangerboard.com right now called simply "mighty morphin power rangers season 3" done by some guy called bobbydrake where he basically acts like season 3 through now never happened and he starts his story off from the end of season 2. He did a LOT of crazy stuff. He killed off a ranger and created a new evil one AND he made Justin(the little snot nosed brat from Turbo) likeable!:eek: . You should all check it out. I read his first 5 episodes last night and they're amazing. Good stuff.

[wyzewun]

Wow I love some of the ideas im reading.......it nice to know im not the only one who like the power rangers!

[PyroChamber]

I was always wondering....if Power Rangers were still based off the Super Sentai series but didn't use any of the Japanese footage and everything was done in America (the Zord fighting and the effects mostly) would it still have been popular even back in 93?

[Drakon]

My guess is yes. It'd be the same thing, basically.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I was always wondering....if Power Rangers were still based off the Super Sentai series but didn't use any of the Japanese footage and everything was done in America (the Zord fighting and the effects mostly) would it still have been popular even back in 93?

From what I can tell Power Rangers ALWAYS HAS & ALWAYS WILL be based off of what Japan thnks of. Heck the Mystic Force Power Ranger Suits are the same as the new Season that came after SPD that is currently airing in Japan. Jeez these guys don't waste anytime as by the time we get Mystic Force here Japan will be done with it & already working on next Series :p

[dmcnx]

Tommy>Jason.

That pretty much all I have to contribute.

Also,don't let Odin's Lapdog into this thread:o

I just had a conversation with my g/f cuz she laughed at me for watching the "Power Rangers Team-Up" marathon this morning. I've been watching it since the 1st episode of MMPR. I even watched VR Troopers, Bettle Borgs, and the Masked Rider. Totally not ashamed to say it either.

[The Last Meatbag]

I remember Beetleborg, that show was ****ed up, to Power Ranger-esque kids that lived with a mummy and a clown I think and a werewolf

[Colossal Spoons]

Wow, while watching this SPD-Dino Thunder team-up; I just saw something that hasn't happened in a while. A villain attacked the rangers during their morphing sequence in hopes of stopping it. I wish that actually worked for once.

Yeah, the ghost's name was Flabber and he looked just like Jay Leno lol.

[BlackSymbiote]

Jeez these guys don't waste anytime as by the time we get Mystic Force here Japan will be done with it & already working on next Series :p

There are no breaks between seasons in Japan. When one ends, the next week the new one begins. When Mystic Force starts here, Japan will be AIRING the next Sentai series. 51 episodes, one movie, and a team up special later, the new season will begin.

Wow, while watching this SPD-Dino Thunder team-up; I just saw something that hasn't happened in a while. A villain attacked the rangers during their morphing sequence in hopes of stopping it. I wish that actually worked for once.

In the Dekaranger movie, DekaGold's transformation is stopped when she gets shot. She's in costume for about three seconds.

[Colossal Spoons]

Awesome, I wish I could see that.

Most likely it was ripped off of the DVD release of the Dekaranger Movie. Every year, the current Sentai series has a theatrical release movie that runs just over an hour, at least in the ones I've seen the run times for.

[deathshead2]

I really wish toho would bring the sentai movies over here I would also like to see kamen rider sense they decided to stop making the godzilla movies for awhile and it would be good to see some dvds from them.

Exactly like Jay Leno...

Also, The Psycho Rangers knocked the Power Rangers In Space morphers away a couple times,that was fun to see...

And, in other news, I was watching the season finale for Smallville season 3 today and who should show up to deliver a key from Lionel Luthor to Clark Kent, but delivery boy Brandon "SPD Red" McLaren, dreds and all... crazy surprises...

[Darthkush]

wow.......some of you guys are still really into power rangers...Im speechless

Yeah, it's odd but what can you do. Every single time I think i'm over them, i get back into them. I've stopped trying to deny myself anymore. if i feel like watching it, i do. If i don't, i don't. That's one problem I've always had with it that i think hinders my enjoyment. For example, I watched Dino Thunder from episode one and i enjoyed it but whenever there was an episode that sucked, i'd force myself to sit through it anyway. That's my problem. If an episode sucks or i feel i have something better to do, i need to TURN OFF THE TV, not just keep watching it. It makes me build animosity against the show itself.

For s.p.d., I only watch it when i feel like watching it and if that episode sucks, i just turn it off now.

Also, it seems like most of the fans of the franchise online ARE in their 20's. Kids who like it aren't usually into messageboard and such. Most kids I know who aren't teens yet only get on the computer to play games, do stuff for school and not much else.

[BlackSymbiote]

And, in other news, I was watching the season finale for Smallville season 3 today and who should show up to deliver a key from Lionel Luthor to Clark Kent, but delivery boy Brandon "SPD Red" McLaren, dreds and all... crazy surprises...

That's nothing. Both Chris "SPD Blue" Violette and Matt "SPD Green" Austin have been on Queer as Folk.

Matt Austin was in the Dawn of the Dead remake as well.

[The Black Mask]

i used to watch it when it first came on television.

I just started reading. I didn't think it was possible for Zedd to be any cooler.

Indeed(though the "go jason" banner Zedd and Rita use is a bit much but i'll forgive him on that one thing). I wonder if he has plans to use Zack at all. He's got the 1st and 2nd rangers all there, it'd be nice to see him too.

[NulTide]

I find the SPD group to be very likable. Probably the most attractive cast since Space. It's too bad they're stuck in a kiddie-rated show. If they could make this series more adult oriented, it would kickass.

very true(if by attractive you mean, physically beautiful right?). Power Rangers in Space had THE HOT people on it too. I remember by the time that show had started I was completely burnt out on Power Rangers so for me, "In space" was all about watching Ashley and Cassie be hot lol.

Yeah, physically and personality wise. The SPD has very interesting character dynamics. And Ashley and Cassie were hot.

[Dr.Fear]

im listening to the opening theme of the original power rangers. so freakin cool. and bt the way if anyof you actually remember the original power rangers they did have actual stories. all the way up to zeo. afterwards it was just crap.

[deathshead2]

The other shows had plot to have you even watched past zeo which is one of the worst season yet.

[Nathan]

I just watched DekaRanger Episode 39, and I think Jasmin is now without a doubt my favorite Ranger. And I think I have a crush on her. :o

[deathshead2]

Ahhh the girls rangers in japan keep getting hotter and hotter.

[PyroChamber]

I wonder who there'll get to be the female rangers on Mystic Force?

Also, I've notice that when they show old episodes on ABC Family they don't really show the Wild Force and Time Force seasons, except for the Forever Red episode; I wonder why that is.

[Nathan]

I wonder who there'll get to be the female rangers on Mystic Force?

Let's hope they get some less trashy and cheap looking ones, and find girls more in direction cute.

And while we're on the subject, I just found out that the new season has one badass looking Ranger. I guess I have to give the MagiRanger's a second chance.

im sorry but zeo was not the wost season especially compared to the shnit you have now.

[GL1]

I personally like SPD a LOT more than ZEO, it's part of what started to turn me off to power rangers...

[The Black Mask]

i thought power rangers was a cool show when it first debut

[NulTide]

Yeah, zeo is when all their personalities merged and they had no individuality. They really became boring, one-dimensional characters.

[Colossal Spoons]

Zeo definately was NOT the worst season, far from the best though.

Best: Lost Galaxy
Worst: Turbo

[deathshead2]

I enjoyed turbo they had the robocop guy and at the time I really liked the idea of a kid ranger,but now sense I have grown I now hate the kid but if you waqtch zeo saban really made bulk and skull the stars cus they were better developed in that seasno then anyone else and they were on camera more than most of the other rangers.

[deathshead2]

im sorry but zeo was not the wost season especially compared to the shnit you have now.Now I would really like to know what the plot of zeo was oh wait it didn't have one thats right.Now if you look at seasons like space wild force or right now spd they have some of the best plots oh and time force.

[Dr.Fear]

how bout the time when the went in search of the zeo crystals when they were chnaged to children

[Colossal Spoons]

The zeo crystal search was awesome. It's always interesting when the rangers get turned into kids.

Deathshead2, how did Wild Force end? Did Cole find hid parents or was Master Org his father? I'm notorious for missing the finales of PR seasons, I hate it.

[cabel]

The kid ranger/Alien ranger/Zeo search portion of season 3 was extremely dragged out. On top of that, Zedd got forced into the background while Mastervile took control of the villans.

[Odin's Lapdog]

Zeo definately was NOT the worst season, far from the best though.

Best: Lost Galaxy
Worst: Turbo
lost galaxy had the best team of fighters by far...

and with the lights of orion...

heck i think lost galaxy could have a chance against the dream team of

jason as gold ranger
tommy as green
adam as black with power of ninja
andros red space ranger
carter red light speed rescue ranger

they would have a better chance then any other lineup....

That's really too bad. It was a cool show with a Special police who had 2 robots and 1 Police officer in a Suit (the red guy) fighting crime.

The costumes were one of the best I've seen, and I think it's the only show I've seen unaltered. It still had the Japanese Theme song and all the Japanese actors.

-Why are people hating on Zeo? lol. It wasn't the best season, far from it but man, i LOVE LOVE LOVE those Gold Ranger episodes. The first half of Zeo was kinda blah for me but once that Gold Ranger mystery stuff started, my god, i was hooked again! lol. "goooooooo Golllllllld rannnnnnnnnnnger". I love that song too!

-Turbo sucks. sucky villains, sucky blue ranger, sucky everything. That cop guy was okay though.

-okay, i'm now genuinely curious about the Japanese ranger shows(which i haven't been before). What's a good season to start off with? What's the best season? I know a few places where I think i can download some of them so i want to know what's worth it. Also, I'm only wanting ones with subtitles(so i know what they're saying).

-If anyone is curious to know what's up with the Beetleborgs actors, just like the actor who played Rocky on Power Rangers, the two male beetleborgs have their own blogs/site on Myspace as well lol. Only they just seem like normal 21 year olds instead of drunks lol. They both have gf's and seem to be in college.

Here's (http://tvnihon.com/) a good site for a lot of Torrents of Japanese shows. Maybe you should start with the first S.P.D. Episode, just to see how much actually gets lost and changed when they bring it to the US. They even have the first 3 Episodes of the Kyoryu Sentai ZyuRanger which we came to know as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. But the torrent site is currently down right now, yo you have to wait a bit.

But you mentioned that you know a few sites to download Episodes from. In case you find the Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger (Ninja Storm) Episodes, please let me know. I downloaded like 40 Episodes before my old PC crashed and I lost all of them. And I have yet to find them again.

The Big One belongs to the season called "JAKQ Blitzkrieg Force", which aired 1977 in Japan.

Red Falcon is from the season called "Choujyu Sentai Liveman", which aired 1988 in Japan.

http://www.supersentai.com/database/1977_jakq/images/jakq_title.jpg Wow, good thing Power Rangers didn't come out in the US during the time of this show.

[GL1]

1) I did think the girl bettleborgs (both actresses) were pretty cool and would've given either of them a holler, y'know, if I were in JUNIOR HIGH at the time...

2) On second thought, i did like the zeo storylines, but I really hated the costumes... I never understood the theme to it, and the zords had no... coherence to me... three anmals and... a pair of feet, it just confused the heck out of my young mind...

Now getting shrunk to kids was great, and the gold ranger (being Jason at that) was also quite cool...

But they took aisha and replaced her with Tanya (who I thought was decidedly less cute) and they spotlighted Tommy to the Nth degree, and I honestly didn't think Tommy was all that great... he was everybody elses favorite, but never mine...

[Nathan]

Wow, good thing Power Rangers didn't come out in the US during the time of this show.

You should take a look at the first Rangers which started it all. Himitsu Sentai Goranger, 1975-1977.

I was REALLY REALLY REALLY BORED TIMES 100000000000 BORED so I downloaded a bunch of Sentai MagiRanger Episodes (this is Mystic Force here in the US & the only difference which is obvious is that theres Japanese dudes in the suits & not Americans the Japanese Crew should show the American cast a thing or 2 about fighting) So I took a bunch of clips from Magi Ranger I used Rons sadly Rejected Rock Theme & made my own Mystic Force Opening with NO outside of the suit shots

If you don't mind spending a few hundred dollars and waiting a month, you can buy Gaoranger (Wild Force), Hurricanger (Ninja Storm), Abaranger (Dino Thunder), and Dekaranger (SPD) sets from Hong Kong. These come with subtitles, but so far only Hurricanger has accurate English translations. The rest have horrible translations.

I'd also go the website you were given, TV Nihon. They do great translations, but tend to start and stop certain series for no reason at all. Though I think they're going to finish Deka and Magi.

As far as best seasons, of the ones I've seen, I'd get Hurricanger, Dekaranger, and Magiranger. Abaranger is okay, it can be sad at times, but it's REALLY campy (I mean 60s Batman campy) in the beginning.

i always found it interesting that the beetle borgs resembled the generals of the machine empire in forever red, was that done on purpose or did no one else see the resemblence

They recycled them. The Green Hunter and the Shadow Borg costumes were used on purpose, because Saban still had them and it was cheaper just to use those than make new ones.

Does anyone here watch anyting else other than the japanise power ranger right now i'v watched kamen rider faiz the movie and I must say real cool it reminds me alot about the guyver which would make a great tv show on the sci fi channel.Also right now i'm downloading something called garo they say its like batman meets devil may cry.

You should take a look at the first Rangers which started it all. Himitsu Sentai Goranger, 1975-1977.

Too bad we never got to see the Gosei Sentai Dai Ranger. Well, at least we got their Kibaranger.

1) I did think the girl bettleborgs (both actresses) were pretty cool and would've given either of them a holler, y'know, if I were in JUNIOR HIGH at the time... That had to be the dumbest way to change an actor on a show. Someone did some magic on the girl and she ends up looking like someone different, they can't reverse it so they do another spell where everyone thinks she looks like she did before. :down

[cabel]

to be honest, i dont think i ever noticed the change

[Darthkush]

just by chance, freed a ghost who made them beetleborgs. BEETLEBORGS!:p ..

i always thought it was a dig, kinda like saying the power rangers could take down the beetleborgs or something....

pretty sinister undertone for a kid's show...

i was expecting some mask rider resembling generals and some vr troopers ones as well...

[Drakon]

Masked Rider--I remember him. He was Dex or something like that. Didn't he tie into some other show or something to the nature? I can't remember.

[Odin's Lapdog]

now that you mention it, i do remember a cross over occuring but with which show, i have no idea...

i doubt it was pr, but it's most likely to be beetleborgs or something...

:o

don't quote me on that though...
