Power Rangers 4.0 - Part 1

[louiebling$]

Damn the Toei Internet channel is $20 monthly

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

So now the Rangers have "Ultra Mode" huh? Pretty cool. They could give Robo Knight a run for his money.

My review will be up soon, who to talk to you all about it in the comments.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

Sorry for the delay but here it is, my review of "Ultra Power" let me know what you thought of the episode in the comments and we'll chat about it.

[Gold Samurai]

The name of the 2014 sentai series has officially been licensed


http://henshinjustice.com/2013/09/25/new-sentai-2014-ressha-sentai-tokkyuger/

Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger.

The title Ressha is a pun on the Japanese word ressha, which means train using the kanji characters for 烈車 vehement car instead of the usual 列車 line car. While Tokkyu means limited express train. Our new Super Sentai will most likely be train-based!

All that's known are it will involve trains

I wish I was rich so I could buy that....

 

[TheVileOne]

Really just looking forward to them getting the pirate suits. Even though they probably won't be acting piratey.

Having the Rangers be actual pirates that want to steal loot and stuff is too hardcore for the kiddies .

 

[Donut]

If I was not buying a next gen console. I would buy the Red Ranger helmet with the DVDs. But I will just wait for the remaining Box Sets instead

 

[<(o_o)>]

How long until the big 20th Anniversary Power Rangers show?

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

They need to make Power Rangers a little more mature. Not hardcore (like apparently the Japanese shows are) but enough to able to everyone and not just little kids. Power Rangers transcends age and the content should reflect that.

Yes they do, Americanized PR has gotten way more immature over the years as is.

Well actually, it's maturity has been in flux.

Some series, like Samurai, have been more childish than others, while some series like RPM have veered moreso to the mature.

Though on the whole, most series have been able to strike a balance between the two. But yeah, as time has gone on, the balance has definitely begun to veer to the childish, in both content and the way they tell the story.

Haim Saban pays Simon Cowell 1 million dollars to sing the MMPR theme song

http://www.tmz.com/2013/10/23/simon...-fundraiser-friends-of-israel-defense-forces/

Simon Cowell's dignity has a price -- $1 million -- because that's how much someone paid to get him to sing the "Power Rangers" theme song ... in front of a giant crowd of rich people ... and TMZ has the hilarious video.

Here's what happened: Simon was attending a fundraiser for Friends of the Israel Defense Forces in Beverly Hills last night, and billionaire "Power Rangers" creator Haim Saban offered to donate $1 million if Simon sang the show's theme song.

And Simon actually did it. It's epic.

There's a pretty great twist at the end as well, resulting in Simon paying $250,000 of his own money. Watch the video to see what happens.

Ah to be rich

It's not like the Gokaigers were pirates either. They were more like fake, mentally handicapped One Piece pirates.

There's an episode of Samurai where Negatron causes a car crash. We never see the guy get out. He legit murders a man by making his car crash. Apparently that's okay to put on TV, BUT NOT STEALING.

THAT WOULD BE TOO INTENSE.

They're not gonna act like pirates because "piracy" is the dumbest, most asinine possible way to celebrate thirty years of a franchise that began as paramilitary pulp fiction about heroes who rose from tragedy to protect the world from good. The Gokaigers are the worst possible team to tribute Super Sentai and it's the biggest example of how, at one point, Super Sentai, though still a toy commercial, was at least a toy commercial ABOUT SOMETHING and now they just slap a random theme onto the Super Sentai costume template and call that a show.

They might as well have just filmed the Gokaiger staff peeing on the Gorenger film masters for 50 episodes. I know the Gokaigers learn to be heroes or something, but no, they weren't really even villains in the first place. Why wasn't the anniversary season reflecting the original intent of Shotaro Ishinomori?

(Because it's stupid.)

Likewise, "piracy" is a stupid theme for an anniversary season of a show that started as every cheesy 90's sitcom ever, but with Godzillas. Using the suits as power ups, not caring that they're something something PIRATES, makes more sense. Like how the Alien Rangers have ninja suits but they don't bother trying to make them ninja-y. So the Gokaiger suits just being power ups for MMPR teens is a better tribute to what MMPR was than "MAKE THEM PIRATES EVEN THOUGH THAT'S SCARY NOW LET'S TERRORISM THESE BUILDINGS" would be. I'd rather a goofy footage hacked hot mess of a season that feels like PR's early days than a stupid, arbitrary pirate theme.

And for the record, no, Samurai isn't mature. It aims low and writes very low, and it's various acts of car crashes, building destruction, etc. are brushed aside with no repercussions. Just like Shinkenger. None of these shows are really that mature. Because they're INTRODUCTIONS to superhero fiction for young children. Power Rangers is My Little Justice League, just like how Super Sentai is My Little Tokusatsu. They're both designed for small children. They SHOULDN'T be mature, even if you ignore the fact that all the "mature" Power Rangers seasons have terrible writing.

Can anyone ever give me one good reason why Power Rangers should be forced to "grow up"? A reason that isn't "I'm thirty and am embarrassed I watch it? HAHA KIDS ARE DUMB."

They need to make Power Rangers a little more mature. Not hardcore (like apparently the Japanese shows are)

hahahahahaha

Please. Jetman is "mature" but had an episode where they brushed aside the death of Red Falcon's fiance for the sake of cheap laughs. When people say Super Sentai is mature, they mean "OH WOW I SAW BLOOD IN THAT GUY'S LIP ONCE", because they are manchildren.

but enough to able to everyone and not just little kids. Power Rangers transcends age and the content should reflect that.

Again, why?

What about Power Rangers "transcends age?" This is a superhero show for early grade schoolers.

Here's a puzzler. If the show transcends age, e.i. if it has an adult audience, why should it change? If it already gets this adult fanbase by being the way it is, logic dictates it doesn't actually have to change its content.

The Zyuranger cast will make a cameo in next years VS movie "Kyoryugers VS Go-busters"

http://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=63390

Abaranger(DinoThunder) has not been confirmed/announced. A trio of Dino teams would be awesome but I think it would be too crowded




This movie can have up to 26 rangers making an appearance

6 Zyurangers
5 Go-busters
10 Kyoryugers


Also a special special cameo from the newest team Tokkyuger's

 

[Gold Samurai]

Kyoryuger VS Go-busters just got more awesome

The Daizyujin suit is probably still new since they created a new one for the Gokaiger movie



Story summary

"The Great Gathering of History's Dinosaur Sentai Teams"

The Kyoryuger and Go-Busters challenge the "Greatest Dinosaur Battle" ever seen on Earth!

Suddenly, both Tyrannoranger of Kyoryuu Sentai Zyuranger and AbaRed of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger appear before the the Kyoryuger and explain of a great enemy that threatens them.

The identity of this enemy is "Uchuu Ikusagami Borudosu" (Space War God Borudosu), who will use the feelings of revenge from past enemies of Dinosaur Super Sentai, creating "Neo Grifforzar" and "Neo Gailton". Borudosu also resurrects Enter and Escape, whom the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters had fought, and the villains unite into a single evil force!

The Kyoryuger, who are fighting an unseen evil, meet with the Go-Busters, and the "Greatest Trap ever seen on Earth" is sprung. What rises up against the true dinosaurs, and the death of your best friends? Now, the Kyoryuger must try and use the "True Brave".

"Neo Grifforzar" and "Neo Gailton" in MMPR was Goldar and Zeltrax in Dinothunder


These might some kind of updated/distorted version of the original characters brought back

I think you are being mean about the pirate thing. The way I see it, they were pirates for good. They were all kind of outcasts that lost their homes. Even though they wanted to steal treasure and powers and stuff they kind of rose above it and protected people regardless. I thought that was kind of neat. I recall how they crossed over with the Goseiger cast and they didn't get along, and the Goseiger cast realized that despite appearances, the Gokai-rangers were good dudes and left them alone and let them keep their ranger keys.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think Zyurangers having a dinosaur/prehistoric thing is a great marketing ploy and they can play up a lot how it throws back to the original MMPR series.

 

[KnightGambit]

Upcoming Fan Film called MMPR which is a gritty reboot of the series

FULL STORY - http://www.superheromoviesnews.com/2013/11/video-mighty-morphin-power-rangers.html

 

[Primal Slayer]

interesting. Sad we couldnt see the costume that much

 

[Raiden]

I gonna say, I think Kyoryuger is a very good Super Sentai series and I think it's probably the best since Shinkenger. The plot may not be that deep, but I like the characters in the series and they have managed to keep things interested despite the filler episodes. Looking forward to the crossover with Zyuranger and Abaranger in their movie with Go-busters.

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

I'm not sure about this fan-film. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort and the attempt to make it more mature, but something just doesn't feel right about it.

I do like their creativity in using the Silver Guardians who technically are from Power Rangers: Time Force.
