That's fucking awesome. Like that time BCWWF beat up that guy.

TOKI STOPS COPIES ME

Fucking no one is going to get that, cause you all suck.

As somebody with an active interest in super sentai series, this is kind of sad. =\ Especially since the American rendition was actually on the cusp of regaining its former... decency.

Dethklok!

The way I see it, fuck Disney. Let some years pass and have another studio cut a deal with the Sentai guys and produce a new PR series that adheres closer to the nature and themes of the source material. Think MMPR Season 2/3 but like... all the time. You can still change teams and all that, but basically a heavier PR.

Betting Cartoon Network can nail it. And dare I say SyFy (do they have a kid's block)?

Nah. Power Rangers was sort of a turtle on its back, and it's amazing that it struggled for as long as it did. If anybody else gets a hankering for sentai action, I'd like to see someone start up an original, purely American sentai series, not just cop a feel off the Jap series like we have been. I'd love to see a very serious, well budgeted and thoroughly written American sentai series.

That would be nice but I'm certain it'll lose those 'Japanese' qualities.

Fishes donts haves no metals to listen tos underwaters

When this came out I was already too old for it so meh. My 7yo son loves power ranger toys, but never watches the show whatsoever. Im sure they will keeping pumping out toys as long as they sell.

That would be incredible. With the current fascination in superheroes and televisions shows with supernatural arcs (like Supernatural, Heroes, Lost, etc.) I could very easily see a massive nerd fan of the show in its prime penning some sort of sentai idea (maybe even calling it "Sentai") about a group of people bestowed with powers that they can switch on and off.

Give them adult problems to face, with occasionally one of the sentai team going off and using their powers for evil, and create a tongue-in-cheek drama that pays homage to the concept.

I wouldn't call it Sentai but it would be sweet.

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight is coming to America. That's right, we lost Power Rangers but we're getting Masked Rider! Well, not the old Masked Rider of course. Like Power Rangers, Masked Rider was based on an annual Japanese show that kept going after Masked Rider failed. It's called Kamen Rider and it's been said to be better than Sentai. The CW of all places are giving the latest version, Dragon Knight, the PR treatment by using American actors with Japanese action. Just like the old days, huh?

In a way, this makes a Sentai return to America likely in the future (maybe not as Power Rangers next time around).

Pssssssssssssssssssssssst...Dragon Knight's been out since this winter slow poke. And no, it is not Power Rangers by a long shot. The source material is only used vaugly for fight scenes. Everything else is pure American footage. And it so rocks.

Too bad it's on break till Augest.

Excuse me. I don't watch TV.

Stopped watching power rangers after the movie. But I would always see the new zords, some way or another, and would think, "Wow, that really sucks in comparison to the first stuff."

Just did not hold a candle to the first ones, or the thunder zord ones.

Yeah for those of you who aren't watching this season....you should. It is one awsome season.

New Official Logo for 2010:

Apparently it's getting a bells and whistles HD reintroduction.

Reruns or new stories?

I'm thinking reruns, I haven't heard of any new casting or something like that. They're going all out for a rerun, though... New molds for toys and such.

BUT, remember Transformers Gen 2 was just a big reissue of Gen 1, but that led to Beast Wars and well... the rest is history. So even if this is a glorified rehash it could lead to something legit.

The greatest MMPR villain of all time

That would be cool, I would watch those if I happen to see it while flipping through channels.

He was our first try at an exclusive American villain. being that he was awesome and legitimately scary, we Americans pussied out to "protect the kids". That's why he went comedic in Season 3. Whenever we made our own villains they had some comedic slant since, except for the dude in DinoThunder who fairly owned.

http://www.rovang.org/timeline/bigpics/divatox.jpg

I'd hit it.

I hated her.

I did like how they had his brain pulsating in the movie.

In the end he was a wasted great design. He could've been a main villain for 2 more seasons.

I wanted to sex her but at the same time she kind of repulsed me.

Mostly with the lizard tongue.

i'd hit this

To keep with power rangers kayfabe, better make damn sure Goldar isn't around lol.

Remember when Lord zedd first showed up and he made these new putties and they fought the Power Rangers and seemed unhurtable.... but then it turned out they had giant self distruct "z" buttons on their chests.

That always seemed like a pretty bad trade-off to me.

I used to have this action figure:

http://www.toyarchive.com/STAForSale...8InchMIB1a.jpg

Loved that thing for the few months I was into Power Rangers. Prob my second favorite Power Rangers thing aside from Green Ranger and all of his shit

http://www.toyarchive.com/STAForSale...8InchMIB1a.jpg

Thought this dude was kinda badass too

Those aren't the cool power rangers.

Power Rangers was cool when it first hit the states and everyone was all into it. The toys were impossibly hard to find.
It peaked with the phenomenon we know as The Green Ranger. The gold neck piece, the sword, the big godzilla vehicle. Everything.

Then Power Rangers suddenly got lame. I think it jumped the shark around the time of the movie, and the White Ranger.
That's when it stopped being as in demand, got overexposed, and became a playground laughing stock. I'm pretty sure everyone I knew called it the Chowder Rangers in 3rd grade.

It's a total reboot just so you guys know. We're going with a new toy molds too. Like some reenginered Zord molds. Should be awsome.

I remember seeing the Green Ranger/Dragonzord pack in a toy store once for north of $90 and weeping at the fact that I couldn't have it.

I had all of the ranger figures including the green ranger. i had the lord zedd, goldar, and rito villians. I didn't have any zords until that one early christmas morning i found this ..

For a while, I thought they were thinking about making the show an animation so the PR producers could be in more control.

Kimberly was the hottest back in the day. Katherine was not as hot, but still pretty damn cute, and her accent overall gave her added sex appeal. Stopped watching the show during Turbo, but catch a few Dino Thunder eps on YouTube a few years ago. I thought the Yellow Ranger during that series was cute too.

The toys I used to have were all the mini ones and these.

http://www.megazord.net/USERIMAGES/137_3707.jpg I still have the sword somewhere too.

I always wanted the Dragon Dagger and the Megazord you fully put together but too late now.

Kimberly :drool:

FYI, the power rangers pic I posted the yellow ranger had a boner.

That wasn't PR, that was old Sentai.

Was Goldar Jewish?

Do monsters practice religion?

Have you seen the Republican party?

I didn't even know it was around anymore. Damn, I'd say it had a pretty long run then.

I think these 2 power rangers were the hottest as far as I know:

Both have appeared topless in movies afterwards :naughty:

I didn't know Dana went topless, Maya we all knew from Andros' sisters movie "Not Another Teen Movie".

She had a small part in a Paris Hilton movie. Pledge This!

She's in the threesome: http://rapidshare.com/files/22762019...his_Nudity.avi

go go naked rangers

So rocking this for Halloween this year!

But... Jason or his stuntman weren't that big...

Fell through for some reason. Shame cause maybe we could see some individual zord fights then.

Yeah, figures they drop what appears to be a badass theme for this year's Sentai after we cancel it's PR.

You do know this year's theme for Sentai is about angels right? And the morphing gimmick is based on cards right? RIGHT!?

So Sentai meets YGO?

More like Sentai meets Kamen Rider.

How is that not cool?! Go Go Holy Rangers!

Just saying that it wouldn't have translated that well to American audences if they did a straight translation.

Thank god Kalish is never gone touch another Ranger series.

Here's the re-aired first episode

The added special effects weren't necessary.

Are they fucking serious? Those effects are borderline offensive.

They're in every episode I think, I only watched that one, not the others that are up.

I wouldn't do it to myself. And by the way, for all the whiny bitches out there: THIS is the definition of raping one's childhood. Literally taking the old material and fucking with it. Not every time something gets a reboot or a sequel.

Welcome to the MMPR version of Transformers Generation 2.

parkmania basically beat me too it.

All I have have Power Rangers season 1-9(MMPR-TF) are Fox Kids rips, 10-13(WF-SPD) are Jetix/ABC Family rips.

That'd be about right. Though half of Wild Force would be ripped from Fox Kids.

wow the reboot in 2010 is cheesy even by 1993's standards

I mean I wasn't a big fan back then but c'mon this is a slap in the face to anyone who is feeling nostalgic

I really hated Billy.

How did Rita Repulsa keep getting the wand back after she made the monster grow? Or was it a new wand every time? Also, did she have to strategically plan the monster's attack to coincide with the time of day and period of the month at which point she could throw the wand directly into Angel Grove from the moon?

A wizard did it.

Damn you and your logic, thed. DAMN YOU TO HELL!!

j/k

I will accept the wizard answer.

lol

A witch did it.

Isn't it terribly irresponsible of Zordon to put the fate of the world in the hands of teenagers? Seriously, if I had to pick a team like that I'd want people like Brock Lesnar, Jason David Frank and John Cena.

I think it was explained why kids were usually chosen in one of the seasons. Or maybe I'm mistaken, something about the power of youth or some shit. But there has been adult rangers and heroes.

Also, I swear to God I doubt a single teenager today (in the UK anyway) would be so goody goody to actually do something like this.

If today's teenagers got ranger powers, mecha and all, Lord help us all.

New Power Ranger line-up:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/hoodies.jpg

Their identities would be on Facebook and shit.

:eek:

Would be funny if he had a giant morpher on his back...or his dragonzord lol.

As far as the new episodes go.... I was actually excited when I heard about it because of the fact we might get official versions of the seasons released on DVD. After seeing that first episode I dont want it. Those comic book like animations are horrible and I cant believe that when it shows the zords it actually pops shit up like the way it did.

It's disrespectful. Might as well ran with it and changed the music, redubbed monsters, all of that shit.

Goldar sounded redubbed. I haven't watched PR in years though so I can't remember. But pretty sure he didn't sound at all like he did in that video.

That's his original audio, it's just his earlier voice work sounded different from the S2/S3 stuff when the actor settled into his raspy-growl role.

I have the Green Ranger Saga all on VHS somewhere, wonder if they are worth anything. Got them for free by calling into the local Fox channel and being like caller 11 or something back in the day lol.

New episodes of Power Rangers will air on Nickelodeon this fall, and Nicktoons will also begin airing some of the 700 older episodes, according to Variety. The revival, which will also include live touring events and feature films, is being launched by Saban Brands, a new company formed by Haim Saban. Saban Brands has re-acquired Power Rangers from Disney.



Saban developed Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, based on a Toei Japanese production, in the early 90s and had a great run on Fox Kids. Disney acquired the property with the channel (now ABC Family) in 2001, but apparently doesn’t see it as a great fit for its audience. At the time Disney purchased the brand, Power Rangers had already accounted for $5 billion in retail sales.

New episodes?

Do we know based on which series yet? I can't imagine them doing Shinkenger or the angel... card game... bullshit.

Once I show you this logo:

You'll know everything I know.

YES YES-

I mean...

The kids will love this. Good for them. :shifty:

As long as the show keeps that beard it grew during RPM

Yeah, I read plot summaries and that show is hardcore relatively speaking.

What's the difference? I haven't caught a single episode, because I didn't really care that much.
