Action-Adventure Power Rangers 4.0 - Part 2

I wonder if this goes back in August when JDF was served with divorce papers in the midst of a convention meet and greet.

He will be missed by all. RIP

 

yo and you and I both! When Zeo rolled around I grew to love Kat. I was sad when the OG Turbo team left. I'm even more sad that JDF is no longer with us.

 

In the midst of all the tributes poured for Jason David Frank, here's the biggest one of all.

 

What an awful news.

Jason David Frank was well known among the Japanese Tokusatsu fans community, too.
He was truly one of global Tokusatsu icon, who had meritorious popularized Tokusatsu genre around the globe.

RIP

 

Official Power Rangers YouTube channel put up a nice tribute:

 

I'm still heartbroken by this tragic passing not to mention certain revelations surrounding his death. He inspired so many with his unique style of reaching out to his fans in conventions, fan video etc. To see that he personally got to a place mentally and emotionally where he found it unbearable to continue life's journey is sad.

 

I'm grateful that we got to see him one last time in his most powerful Ranger forms. I'll forever cherish that.

 

EDITED (since it was apparently a fanmade design)


What I heard is that the theme of new Sentai is a mix between Greek mythology and King Arthur Legend.

So curious and exciting!

 

Not Beetleborg enough.

 

I thought we were getting 5 this year? Where’s pink?

Also the helmets are very Dino Thunder/Abaranger. And very cool.

Edit: Are we sure these are official? I’m not seeing them anywhere else. These might be fanmade.

Edit # 2: Yep these aren’t real. This is an old fan creation. I thought they looked a little too much like Abaranger.


This is the only official look we’ve gotten so far and it looks like they’re much more heavily armoured + have capes.

 

One thing for sure though is that they seems to be back to the more traditional Sentai/Rangers costume design, after the very distinct and unique, out of box designs for the last 2 series (not that I don't enjoy it, though...especially Zenkaiger)

If there are Sentai series which I think would be quite difficult to adapt into PR, it's Zenkaiger and Donbrothers.

Speaking of...I almost can't believe that Donbrothers is nearing the end now.

 

Ah...apologized then.
I should've check the source and credibility first before posting it.

I already edited my post there.
Promise will do better next time.

 

But looking at silhouette there...with armored and cape, it seems they will be a non traditional suit again, just like Zenkaiger and Donbrothers.

 

No need to beat yourself up for it! Mistakes happen . Even the best of us make mistakes sometimes.

I’m thinking they’ll keep doing these unconventional suits for the next couple of years and then drum up a big hype for the return to basics for the 50th anniversary.

 

And Shout Factory has Dekaranger up for preorder. Another one that I wanted. Shout has been putting them out at a good pace, which is nice. Which they would do a bit more on Kamen Rider, as they have all the ones that they have announced to have for sale.

And I have started really going and watching my collection. Starting with Kakuranger. Early 90's Japanese media was something else.

 

You made me remember that I need to finish Ohranger on Prime (if it's still up there).

I loved Kakuranger, amazing how they hacked it up for MMPR/Alien Rangers.

 

Purple ranger in the main lineup. Suits look great.

 

Has there ever been a female red ranger?

 

The only female is yellow.
Suits is still unconventional...which is I love it!

 

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (2009) had the first female Red. (Though it was only in the last 5 episodes)



This is the only clip that I can find.
(Which reminds me...Shinkenger's roll call is my no.1 favorite!)

 

Temporarily. Shinkenger/Mega Samurai had a new character come in as the Red Ranger very briefly. The comics had a past team that had a female red. A few teams have also had a woman nominally in charge, even if they weren't red.

Pity, though if the suits were ever adapted here, a bit easier to sex change one of them.

That Red gives me Kamen Rider Knigh/Wing Knight vibes.

 

Ohranger is very underrated.
It was unfortunately one of the un-popular series here that the ratings and toy sales were so bad that Sentai series was almost getting cancelled because of it (despite Ohranger being an anniversary series at the time).

Over time though...fans' response seems to be soften that Ohranger has sort of became the cult classic for some fans. And I am definitely glad that Ohranger is one of the series that got a special tribute in both Gokaiger (35th anniversary series) and Zenkaiger (45th anniversary series).

 

yeah...I am not fan of Toei now seems to be back into 4 male 1 female members pattern again like most of the old showa series.
It's been 3 years in a row now.

Yeah Red ranger kinda like KR Knight...haha

 

Damn, those suits look great. Especially like red’s visor. Can’t wait to have a better look at the mech.

Edit:
Looking great. I’m also really loving PapillionOhger’s look. Apparently the rangers are all sovereigns of different countries from another planet.

Spoiler

 

Purple’s suit has to be my favourite but for the zords, the black bee is the best design imo.
