It was mostly a joke, but SPD is actually, like, a law enforcement outfit. I think there's a few scenes of Delta Red harassing street criminals and poo poo in the series run.

But as with all LEOs, there's a group that goes renegade and SPD Delta squad has to order tactical SWATstyle gear and... it's a pretty odd look at law enforcement militarization if you strip away the kiddie fare.

So basically you have a galactic group of power-ranger cops running around power rangering in the name of the law. Sounds like a great Zord Industrial Complex thing similar to what was being proposed up there.

I actually watched a few episodes of Dekaranger, the Super Sentai series SPD is based on. Turns out the whole "Capture Card" capabilities of the rangers' weapons was an English invention; it seemed like such a Japanese thing to do, collecting all the criminal cards and such. It's a little chilling watching the Japanese version and realizing that the rangers instead are literally executing criminals in the streets.

The new UNITE mobile card game soft-launched in Canada a few days ago apparently:

Any Canadians care to give their impressions? Would it be too much to ask for this to be anywhere near as good as Hearthstone? :pray:

This show is interesting because there's actually a visible onscreen organizational structure to the spaceship. Yeah, there's a gang of five fruity colored superheroes onboard and their huge combining robot that luckily doesn't bang its head on the dome, but they're not the first and last word in keeping the peace. They're just the best group equipped for this particular type of threat.

You should definitely watch RPM if you haven't yet. In it, the rangers are constantly butting heads with the military force protecting the city. The red ranger is the military commander's son and quit the military to join the rangers against his father's wishes.

It's hard to take even semi-seriously a pricey romp where the villain is named Rita Repulsa.

The movie's social media channels posted a picture of a cgi movie-verse styled green ranger helmet so uhhh, nice job spoiling your own movie?

Not much of a spoiler considering you see it in context in the first minute of the movie.

Overall I definitely see where the 50%ish Rotten Tomatoes score is coming from. A fun movie with a few flaws. Don't think it'll make much of an impression for non Power Rangers fans, but hoping it does well enough for a sequel.

EDIT: Shouldn't have read the comments on those posts. Whole lot of people who haven't seen the movie getting upset about their assumption that the official Power Rangers accounts are posting spoilers. :stare:

Those who have seen the film too, did Rita have her staff in hand when she got bitchslapped into space? Or did she drop it?

Pretty sure the staff shattered similarly to how it did at the very start of the film. So I assume the green coin is now somewhere in the ruins of Angel Grove, waiting to be found by Tommy. If this movie gets a sequel ideally the gold of the staff reforms to become a shield for him.

That's not G2, that's still G1.

G2 was a comics and toys only thing (that resulted in the most 90s recolors you will ever see.)

There was a Generation 2 TV show, and Unknown is right, it was simply a reedit of the original series like what Power Rangers tried.

Did the latest Legacy Wars update break the game for anyone else?

Half my matches now have unplayable lag, and the other half get me stuck on a screen like this (which also results in a loss for an added kick in the balls):


It's a pretty cool F2P Power Rangers game, but this isn't giving me much hope the game'll have legs.

Started playing Legacy War (and not having the problems mentioned above), but I lost the name to the Goon alliance. Can someone repost it so I can join (IGN is same as forums name)

Goon alliance is Hexagon. There's a few alliances named that so check the descriptions for the right one. I'm KingOfGames on there.

I wonder if their servers were just having issues when I played. Had barely any latency tonight. Game is a pretty nicely distilled form of a fighting game for mobile.

It does get infuriating sometimes if there's lag. The UI tells you you've got a block queued up against an upcoming attack, then "lol nope"s the block back to your action bar.

Thanks for pointing that out, didn't know there was a thread for it in Games. Lots of good info in there: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3814725

Their alliance is Big Bad Beetleborgs, this thread's is Hexagon.

Plus the fight scenes are fantastically shot and choreographed! I'm a huge fan of the combination of wire work and special effects they put into the Jungle Master mode scenes. Going from the wide angle, flowing combat of Jungle Fury to the close up, shaky cam footage of RPM was pretty off putting at first.

Then Alpha 5 built and programmed Alpha 6 based on what he thought was cool.

Speaking of continuity, at some point Alpha 6, a sentient robot, was turned off, disassembled, and then stuffed in a box where he was forgotten about for nearly a decade. He now presumably works an unpaid position in Adam's dojo.

POWER RANGERS BATTLE FOR THE GRID LEAKED FOR NINTENDO SWITCH, PS4 & XBOX ONE

Looks like we're getting a console version of Legacy Wars. I'm actually kind of interested in that. Loved the gameplay of the mobile game, but the lag and monetization turned me off of it. It's got some awesome fighting game fundamentals, but with a super low execution barrier.

quote:

For over 25 years Power Rangers has been one of the most popular franchises in the world. As a perennial Top 10 NPD Action Brand, the globally renowned brand has spawned hit TV shows, movies, toys, comics, live entertainment and games. Today, nWay, the developer and publisher behind Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, the hit multiplayer mobile game with over 45 million downloads, is partnering with Hasbro and global content leader Lionsgate to announce Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. The new cross-platform fighting game will be available as a digital download for $19.99 first on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in April 2019, and then as a PC release later in the year.

The game is now available for pre-order at https://www.battleforthegrid.com with those ordering prior to launch receiving an exclusive bonus of the Green Ranger V2 character skin and a digital art book. In addition, a special Digital Collector’s Edition will be available to pre-order for $39.99, which contains the full game download, Season One Pass (which will include three new characters, their Arcade story, and a new warrior skin), and exclusive Lord Drakkon V2 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Pink Ranger character skins.
