It wouldn't be MMPR They'd have the rights to the characters Jason, Trini, Zack and so on, but the actual bankable designs? Those belong to Toei. Those are the ZyuRanger suits, copywritten to Toei. They don't own those. They can't use those if they don't have Toei's permission. They'd have nothing, period. The idea is that they'd switch to doing animated series, which in theory you could do and would even make sense for Hasbro given most of their properties are animated. But, they'd have to be all new designs. No classic morphers, no classic Ranger designs, none of the iconic villains At that point they'd be better off just making a new IP

It should also be noted that the Illuminerdi post only suggests that he, himself, would like to see an animated series. He apparently knows nothing of Hasbro's actual plans post-2021. So yeah, any talk about Power Rangers ENDING is baseless. It’s most definitely changing, that's for sure, but we don't know how yet. Also, buried in the story, was the point that Hasbro is very committed to the new movie and we'll be getting news about that in the next few days.

That would be a really weird thing for Hasbro to do considering it's not been very long at all since they bought the franchise in the first place Though if it does have any merit I could see it being Hasbro being frustrated at how unmarketable most of the currently unadapted Sentai series have been by American standards, Kyuranger is pretty much the only one they haven't touched that has any real chance of success if it were to get adapted as a Power Rangers season, so this could be them trying to subtly put some pressure on Toei to make the seasons after Kiramager something a lot less "preschool" in aesthetic and thus something that can actually be adapted for the American market

I've seen some folks on Twitter (so, you know, grains of salt) say Hasbro sees Sentai is on life support and is trying to make preparations now.

I never heard of that site before and I don't trust it at all. I do think the IP might have some sort of shake-up after Dino Fury, if only because Hasbro will finally be the ones negotiating tv contracts. Maybe itll be the fabled move to netflix.

I don't know how much merch Power Rangers is currently making, but I don't think taking Power Rangers in a DC Comics TV direction aimed at young adults and older fans is the worst direction to take. Especially if they can jack up those prices for more niche merch like the SH Figuarts were.

Lightning Collection is already comfortably occupying the same niche figures like Figuarts would go into. And they're able to do a wider range of characters at a cheaper price, so.

Especially if they can jack up those prices for more niche merch like the SH Figuarts were. Again, that's not the issue with what's being proposed. The issue is that Hasbro would not have access to any of the existing IP. That'd be disastrous for the brand- even for people that don't like MMPR rehashing all the time, they presumably like other series to get some love too. All that is gone if this deal is what is being said. Hasbro stopping the Power Ranger show as we know it is fine. Series like this live and die on reformation and refreshment. Changing things up is not a bad thing.

Honestly, the source is often wrong about a lot. The deal sounding like something Hasbro would be stupid to ever do isn't the only reason why you should doubt all this.

Obviously after a few years they wash their hands and sell it back to Saban for much less than he bought it for, then Saban makes it for 10 years again and sells it to Time Warner

From what they have left that is unadapted, and not pre ZyuRanger. TOQger: Least adaptable imo due to Trains not being a big thing in the US and the suits being... okay... Zyuohger: Minecraft is still hip, People like animals. Perfectly adaptable. Kyuranger: A lot of rangers but a lot of them are suits/non human so you can be cheap with those an just have Voice Actors only for those. Lupinranger VS Patranger: COPS might not be the best thing to adapt right now, but perfectly serviceable footage for a PR show. Kiramager (currently running): More adaptable than TOQger but those sparkly gems thing might be seen rear end too girly for the US boys market.

The problem is that the mechs in Zyuohger and LuPat are loving ugly as sin and don't make for particularly good toys either(and Kiramager is only slightly better in that regard)

You could do a legit Older Audiences Power Ranger series about the oppressive CopRangers and the under class of thieves that have risen up against them. Or something. It's not something we're likely to get but you know it's a thing

I think a huge issue with adapting modern Sentai is the fact that the mech designs have really regressed as they've become more toyetic over the years. Like you have a team of five rangers, but their megazord is made of three zords and 12 other auxiliary zords that all basically function the same.

Burkion posted:You could do a legit Older Audiences Power Ranger series about the oppressive CopRangers and the under class of thieves that have risen up against them. Okay, pitching it as a Netflix Original aimed at the CW Superhero audience: Power Rangers Crime Force Silver Hills, Washington. The Silver Guardians are now the Golden Guardians and are basically everywhere in Washington now. Wes has long since retired and focuses more on helping other Rangers in his free time. Eric is now the commander. In an important expansion, the GGs are expanding into Golden Beach, Oregon. A quiet city with an odd history of unexplained incidents. As it turns out, it's a nest of aliens living on earth in secret... and have recently been in trouble by a new mafia trying to take over. PRed a hotblooded guy who idolized eric. PPink a curious girl who wants to be detective. PGreen half human half alien, mom was part of astronema's invasion, but the zordon wave confirmed that she was of the sde of good. LRed is PRed's childhood friend who learned martial arts with him up until joining GG. LYellow a kind girl whose family owns a restaurant that helps aliens for 20 years now. LBlue alien ranger sent to earth to track down the mafia. the mafia stole treasure from dozens of planets to power up their ranks and easily take over the quiet town in order to build their own empire. The pats are too rough in their actions. The lupins want to steal the treasures back and give them to their proper planets for the sake of earth's interstellar relationships. 7th ranger would try and be a double-agent, with the proposition to the lupins being that he believes the Golden Guardians lost their way and should return to being Silver Guardians. SPD is now retconned to be from the future *and* a different universe. They beep booped wrong and that's how they met with the Dino Thunder team. And late in the season they get to travel to the SPD universe and see the A-Squad briefly. MorningMoon fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Jul 10, 2020 |

The last good one I remember was SPD main one Honestly I actually really liked Nininger's mecha designs(and feel they translated over to toy form pretty well), and while they aren't perfect I think Ryusoulger's were pretty nice as well(and at least in the toys most of the flaws can be fixed due to their modularity), it's really only Zyuohger and LuPat that have dropped the ball so badly in the last couple of Sentai series

Oh I appreciate the sheer scale of it, but the actual combination is the epitome of bad design, Boukenger and Go-Onger both handle their ultimate combinations much better, and Goseiger, ToQger, and Nininger all get much sillier with theirs, so while it was impressive at the time it hasn't aged all that well
