Power Rangers 4.0 - Part 1

[Young Superman]

Cassie and Karone still look great.

P.S I don't remember the Green Dragon Power Coin ever being destroyed, I thought Tommy's clone took it back in time with him.

 

[Jostru]

Goddamnit, I HATE that silver on Tommy's helmet.

 

[Havok83]

Had Jason, Billy, Trini, etc. not left Angel Grove in pursuit of other things, they would have graduated as the Class of 1997 alongside Tommy, Katherine, Adam, and Tanya, making them HS Freshmen (which would mean that, depending on their birthdates, they were between the ages of 13 and 15) at the time Zordon chose them to save the world.

no they weren't. They were older than that, but again that's besides the point, which you glossed over

Wow, the only ones I recognize are Tommy and the two black guys, and I couldn't even tell you who they are.

 

[Kirmit]

Goddamnit, I HATE that silver on Tommy's helmet.

I actually like the silver, think it improves the look IMO.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

They removed the Silver on Tommy's helmet in post.

So just putting it out here, but for anyone interested, the Mega War is up in French here:

And wow, this season is, and ends on, a complete letdown. 2 minute legend war with mostly sentai footage. Go ***ing figure. Can't wait until Dino Charge since Tzachor will finally be gone.

What's letting me down is that there is no new episode tomorrow! It's the "worldwide day of play", they always do this at the worst times!!!

The last two episodes have been horrible! And I had such high hopes for Super Megaforce.

Really? In my opinion, (Super) Megaforce was doomed to fail. Saban went crazy and tried to cram 2 Super Sentai Seasons into 1 season of a pathetic 40 episodes.

Had they actually used every episode to move the plot and the characters forward in a decent way, it could work, but there's just so much filler it's ridiculous.

And I still don't get why the hell they abandoned the teleportation in (Super) Megaforce? They teleport to Gosei's "command center" (which looks utterly ridiculous by the way) in the first episode, but after that they just... walk there?? What?

(Super) Megaforce had potential, but they went compete gaga and fail to deliver, sadly enough.

What a waste

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

I liked the first 8 episodes of SMF, with the crossovers, and the callbacks to seasons past, but then the last two were so stupid! They had an episode called "The Perfect Storm" and it didn't use Ninja Storm! What the heck?!?!!?

And don't get me started on that love potion one. Oh my gosh...

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I hope Dino Charge improves. ITs true MF/SMF was a waste because they took a mediocre sentai and a great sentai and butchered them beyond recognition. The fact the whole series turned out bland, pointless, and not very fun. It felt like an MMPR retread without any heart. Every episode feels like they're just going through the motions.
I'll watch the Legend War episodes again once they air in English just to see it, but the fact that the returning Rangers were glorified cameos, some without any lines at all, was just so, so stupid. This was laughable as a season, and downright disgraceful as a tribute season. Guess we got more Tommy though *eye roll*

 

[Primal Slayer]

I am so done with Saban and his cheapass. PR has been around this long and he is to cheap to give us an all original episode that is actually good, instead we get 10 second cameos, a small group scene, and they wasted time and money on doing those stupid helmet shots of all the old rangers who showed up out of uniform.

I still don't understand how we could get to a point where PR created their own villains, used a lot of original footage to the point where they rarely do any of that anymore.

Call me when they get their act together again.

And yet, fans still wonder why PR alums like Karan Ashley and David Yost scoffed at Saban's offer to return.

Not only were they offering them little compensation, but they would being flying out there for what is...... yeah, you said it: A glorified cameo, possibly with no lines.


TBH, I don't blame Saban though. I blame Jonathan Tzachor and his ridiculous mismanagement of the show as Executive Producer.

Thank GOD that Judd Lynn is back, and is firmly and convincingly stepping away from JT's method of showrunning.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Go figure, one of our rare chances to have so many Rangers together and they mess it up.

I need a refund and a rewind so we can do this again the right way.

And I laughed at them having Tommy use Saba, have the White Ranger helmet briefly appear over his face to identify him and then he shows up in Green.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I'm hoping Dino Charge ends up being more of our anniversary season. I say this because there is a Kyoryuger (Dino Charge source) film involving al previous Dino teams. So, if they could at least get the original tem (except use Aisha, because....yeah ), plus the Dino Thunder team, I would actually amount to something of a real tribute to MMPR an the beginning of the franchise.

Do you mean Trini? Nothing's happened to Aisha, has it?

 

[TheDreamMaster]

No, nothing has. I'm guessing I didn't write it quite right, but I mean it as "use Aisha, because, well, we know what happened to Thuy Trang".

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Enjoy that picture, that's the Legend War in a nutshell right there.

 

[Mr_336]

Oh, god.... Going by the posts. The Legend War may have well trumped Day of the Doctor* and Operation Overdrive's Once a Ranger as the worst anniversary story known to man... Now I don't even want to bother watching the episode

God damn it,Tzachor & Saban!!!!

*Don't start! Take it to the PMs

No, nothing has. I'm guessing I didn't write it quite right, but I mean it as "use Aisha, because, well, we know what happened to Thuy Trang".

I know. Between her and Aaliyah's deaths and 9/11, those 16 days in 2001 were the worst days ever

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

That's interesting 336, everyone I've talked to loved Once a Ranger. And Day of the Doctor was good in my opinion. Gave it a 4/5, it was the Zygons that brought it down.

...oh, just noticed the thing about the PM's, sorry!

As for the Legend War, I still haven't seen it (via the spoiler videos) but if it is like you all said, I'll be disappointed. This was supposed to be a celebration, not a cameo. I heard JDF talk about it in an interview and he sounded so pumped as he talked about what happened. I'm sad that he didn't do more than a few lines.

Oh right, gotcha.

I'm sorry if we've spoiled it at all for you BMW, and despite JDF talking big quite a bit, I assume they thought it had at least little more going on for it. Although some said they were just images, I do believe thing like Samurai Green borrowing the Dragon Shield may have been some little bits filmed, and I'd like to think everyone filmed a line at least. But Tommy does most of the talking, everyone else stands around and tried to look badass, but then it mostly goes to sentai footage. Megaforce does the finisher (they never use the SMF powers at all.), and then the returning rangers take off their helmets again, Tommy talks, and they all teleport away and wipe out the rest of the armada.
Also disappointed that we were told Tommy would switch forms, but all we get is an early scene in the episode of Tommy saving a kid with Saba, and then his green powers in the Legend War. Dino Black never gets referenced at all.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

On that last part if you want to go that far then they also didn't reference his time as a Red Ranger.

I'll admit, I didn't know what to expect truly from the Legend War. The first scene of MF was showing parts of the battle, and I really wanted to see each "team" get their moment in the sun, maybe playing parts of their theme song as they do so.

I frequent this forum as you know so it would've been impossible for me to not get something spoiled, it's cool. But I am disappointed that's all that happens. Especially since some of my favorite Rangers ever came back for this! Tommy, TJ, Leo, Wes, Carter (wow...lot of Red Rangers...) Cassie, Dana, etc. It was good to see them all again, and have them all willing to wear the outfits for most likely the last time.

I'm still going to watch it, probably watch it over and over again, but yeah, it's a little sad that it's not half of the episode.

 

[Young Superman]

This week's episode was pretty good.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

I know right? Save for the weird "Noah must fight Argus" storyline that came out of nowhere. If every episode of SMF was like this EVERYONE would like it!
