Those suits own thank you very much! Especially 6. Also I know cg is fine for zord fights bit I don't trust them to deliver pacific rim quality stuff.

If Rita and Zedd aren't in the new movie that will probably be a deal breaker for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTGEECiSXu8 They were the only PR villains who could have carried their own spinoff

Try and take over the world." *watches monster explode* "Why do we do this?" But yeah, I'm a bit worried on the potential CGI for the Zords, or rather, the Zord fights. Because unless they also contract out ILM, who are basically the only people around who really have good experience with this kind of thing, then there's a likelihood of the result falling short. Inversely, I kinda doubt Saban and whoever else is funding the film to be willing to put in that much money for the budget either, so even if they got ILM, we wouldn't necessarily get as much. Then you factor in how they would do the monsters themselves, since so far the only really giant monsters onscreen have been rather animalistic, and not evoking a man in a rubber suit.

greatn posted:20 minutes of the movie's run time is credits. 50 minutes of the movie's runtime is one extremely long morphing sequence where Tommy uses every single morpher ever in the show. You joke, but I'd watch that for full price. RBX posted:Those suits own thank you very much! Especially 6. Given the CG budget for Sentai compared to an actual movie budget, the budget is probably going to be magnitudes better than we can hope, and it's not lovely 1995 CG, nore importantly.

What if it turns out this movie is a stealth in continuity remake of the first movie, and we get proper non lovely looking Ectomorphicons and Ninjazords?

Ninjazords are the best so I'd be okay with this. Especially since it would mean Rita and Zedd would make an appearance.  e: Astro Nut posted:"What are we gonna do tonight Zedd?" What's funny is that Rita and Zedd were delighted and cackling joyously most of the time they made their monsters grow. Maybe because this time it might work or maybe because they just get a thrill out of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G6ZKE3ztYo My favorite? "We gotta stop those Power Punks from winning!" "Yes.

Twelve by Pies posted:Finally got my Legacy Dragonzord in the mail today. It's pretty cool, although putting it into Battle Mode it seemed really awkward and didn't seem to stand up very well. I'm not sure if I did it wrong, I sort of did it without looking at the directions so maybe I missed some thing that helps "lock" the legs into place or whatever, because that seems to be the biggest problem is how the legs fold up to make the "knees" for the tiger/triceratops, and they feel really loose and buckle a bit too easily. Common problem. The flaps on the legs are supposed to catch on the feet to keep them from falling back down, but they don't do a very good job. But if you're displaying it in anything but Megadragonzord mode, it's not an issue since contact with the surface will keep them in place.

Yeah Titanus is cool and all but 200 bucks is a little pricey, even if it is kind of a big toy. I think I'll pass on it. I just want Legacy Thunder Megazord.

Just finished Linkara's review of Operation Overdrive. It's almost an hour and a half long, but is a cathartic experience. "Shut up, Dax" is uttered multiple times.

It just seems to take no time at all for those zords to explode in price. Titanus is really expensive at $200, but it will only get more and more expensive as time goes by.

I got the re-release of the Dragonzord at $80 and felt that was justifiable. I'd get a Megazord at even $150 if possible, but either they are used and have missing parts or are way too expensive.

My Doctor Whatsian admiration for Mystic Force and Daggeron in particular is the only way Saban can pry money from my cold dead hands. A Legacy Lunar Caller and Predazord might work though Edit: Due to a massive amount of fan hype, the Gold Mode episode has been released a week early. http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/power-rangers-super-megaforce-409-full-episode.html Solaris Knight fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Aug 22, 2014 |

So, Jason Smith wrote this episode, and yet again he proves to be one of the better people on this show. First third is good character stuff for Orion (plus covering potential plot holes), and there's a fair amount of original footage. I know I literally just said to lower expectations for the series after that clip of Tommy, but then this just gets me hopeful again. Worked around Doc's clumsiness into Jake slipping up and then getting pissed about it. The workaround for Gai's... fanboy superpowers with Orion is just Gosei pulled random c***, which is probably the first major letdown of the episode. Could've made something of it, but eh. We also got another random sentai team appearance, plus an actual reference to the team's name. But otherwise... yeah. Actually a decent enough character piece from the show, and there's one moment I really like where Orion reminds Jake that if anyone should know survivor's guilt, its him, and Jake doesn't need to say anything (at least for a bit) to realise he was being a dick.

I'd just like to point out that Facebook has Power Rangers stickers in the browser-based chat windows. Go forth and send your friends a picture of Tommy and Kimberly hugging! Or Jason sleeping! Or Jason doing pretty much anything imaginable, because it's 90% Red Ranger.

Just watched Linkara's latend on Operation Overdrive. I thought we was extremely off the mark on the crossover episode. His big complaint which he goes on about for five minutes is that these rangers just give up and go home when they lose their powers, but just five minutes before that he played the scene where they don't, in fact, give up, and go and try to fight the monsters by themselves. They only go home after they've been suitably replaced and their mission appears clearly in good hands. It's entirely different. I say this as someone who hated Operation Overdrive and didn't even particularly love that episode.

And had to reshoot the yellow ranger's pose, because she was both the ditzy/cute one and the 'strong' one in the sentai, which they of course translated into need-for-speed race car driving tomboy.

Andrew Grey has been consistently shown to be very enthusiastic and emotional off camera, which means Troy being such a flat character can be chalked up to bad scripting and direction, not his actual skills. There's a consistent theory going around on 4chan that Andrew Grey posts on /v/ and confessed in a thread that his acting is wooden because that's what got him the role.

Sounds like a Kristen Stewart situation. "The writing/script is so bad, I have nothing to work with as an actor". Except, in her case, she still was a terrible actress. Jury's still out on Andrew Grey.
