Yeah. I'm the "mastermind" behind this and I totally agree that YouTube would be better and I need a proper website and so much more. Frankly I'm killing myself over the update schedule and I only have Windows Movie Maker, which is a lame excuse for not trying. But this really isn't the place to discuss this, I just hope you guys give the show a chance and give us some feedback.

But hey! Can I great a group opinion on Jungle Fury? I put it pretty high on my list of favorite seasons. Villains get a lot of story and development, rangers are pretty alright people, RJ is cool as hell, nice monster designs, and a big emphasis on real martial arts. Overall, probably my third favorite season.


Probably about fourth for the Disney seasons for me. No real explanation avaliable outside of enjoying RPM, SPD & Dino Thunder much more.

If Power Rangers was always in end of contract mode, I would be satisfied.

Edit: Also, third round of Morphin Madness is up and SuperMega Red still hasn't lost, wtf? also, the first Jason/Tommy match has started and it's Zeo Gold vs. the White Ranger.

I wouldn't doubt that it's rigged so that he can make it to the end.

The vast majority of the main characters were either Kiwis or Australians. I mean, when four of the five rangers are Aussies then it's a bit expensive to fly them out for a con.

Mark your calendars, the new Power Rangers movie is scheduled for a July 22, 2016 release. Hope we get some casting rumors soon. Who would you want in a new power rangers movie? I personally would love to see Bryan Cranston to reprise his inaugural role as the Snizzard.

Well, ya gotta crowbar Jason David Frank in there somehow for one thing.

EDIT: Just read that the second Pink Ranger was from Surrey Hills in universe. That was an gorgeous area of Melbourne when I lived there a couple of years ago.

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.

The weirddest in a cool way thing about Mystic Force is that everybody but Udonna and Chip is Ambiguously Brown, and it made things feel more exotic, for lack of a better term, made things feel more diverse, like I hope Dino Charge does.

Well, Nicks actor was of Lebanese descent. Madisons actor is of Filipino, Spanish and Ukranian descent. I'm not sure about Vidas or Xanders actors but I would guess Latin American and Greek respectively.

They changed it slightly, and made it as if the belt itself decided to pop out the RPM Gold key for no real reason. In the original, Gai was like "Time for Go-On Silver!" then said "But wait, Silver was a girl, so I guess I should pick Gold..." and pulled that one out. Since Orion wouldn't really know about the RPM Rangers I guess it wouldn't make sense for him to know Silver was a girl (even if the key does have a skirt), but at least they got to avoid the "I don't want to be a girl" line which might have caused a bit of a controversy in the US. It still was kind of silly him going "I don't know which one to use!" because there was no real reason for him to have problems choosing, and the reason for him having to choose was extremely contrived too.


Why would there have been a problem with him not wanting to be a girl? Would there have been a shitfit kicked up by some parts of the Trans community?

I just realised, looking over the trailer again, not only do they have an original villain, but also, original footage of him alongside some of the villain suits from Kyoryuger. So we might... also get original villain footage in their base? I mean, dude's got a spaceship, so I doubt they'll be able to as easily use the Deboss base with its internal organ aesthetic.

It's been a while since we've had original villain footage in their base. I'm pretty sure that hasn't been done since RPM.

It really broke with the conventions everyone expected. I'm pretty sure its the one with a 7 year old as a ranger, as well. And it led to a crossover with that terrible Ninja Turtles show. Its sins are many, but it also delivered onto us PRiS.

People who complain about them clearly don't realize how psychopathic and unhinged they are. Which is a terrific part of their character and very subtle.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, they were planning to effectively nuke a Venjix factory from orbit on their own and happily. A Venjix factory that had a lot of human slaves trapped inside. That they knew about. This is just something they do without thinking or caring.

Yeah, they're essentially a foil to Doctor K herself. They all grew up in an organisation where they never really were able to be functional adults and then Gem & Gemma were prisoners on top of that and had been fending for themselves in a wasteland. Is it any wonder why they're unhinged and the first option the jump to is to explode everything?

You know what the worst thing about having Netlix and not knowing what to watch due to the Australian Netflix having a limited selection? I've watched nearly all of Megaforce despite it being so incredibly bad. Due to it being an entire Sentai season compressed down to half a season, everything just seems so rushed and Gosei just hands out powerups like candy.

Jesus, the penultimate episode of Megaforce is such a cluster gently caress. It pretty much goes introduction to new villain, fight scene, dialogue at the villain's HQ, fight scene, dialogue at the villain's HQ, Vrax shows up to taunt the rangers, dialogue at the villain's HQ and then done. The rangers are such a non-entity in it and it's really oddly edited. I wasn't being sarcastic with how I did the write up, there's only a short scene at the villain's base to break up each scene.

EDIT: I mean the rangers suck in this series but you'd think in the second last episode that they'd have more of a presence instead of just being there to fight the villains.

The funny thing is that the Red ranger is probably the most racially diverse character.

RPM had a Jamaican-Australian
Ninja Storm had a Samoan
Mystic Force had a Lebanese-Australian
Dino Charge has an American of Hispanic descent
SPD had a Canadian of West Indies descent
Turbo had an African-American
Zeo had a Native American

I didn't see whatever the last episodes of Samurai and Megaforce were before their 'super' seasons but seeing Dino Charge's makes me kinda like the two-season split a bit since it was a pretty strong episode of rangers being proactive and pretty much winning before a new threat comes over, I'm super interested in how they'll handle the first episode of Super Dino Charge if they have some footage of Koda, Ivan and Kendall operating as the only rangers on the city

Samurai ended with Jayden beating Deker and breaking muramasa along with Antonio getting the black box working.

Megaforce ended with the apparent destruction of Roboknight and the Armada shelling the gently caress out of Earth before invading in force.

Megaforce is worse than I thought, and I left hard after that episode where Troy kept going "But our weapons! Our precious weapons!"

(Not to mention the original footage of that was literally the opposite, and for some reason chose that episode of all things to showcase that morale).

The show also had a super major boner for recreating scenes from the original footage series, including making Noah a swordsman with a training montage because...Joe of Gokaiger was a swordsman with a training montage.
Something that I found really wierd is that Jake is a completely different comedy relief character to Doc and they possess far different levels of competence. It's pretty stupid that he just becomes such a goober.
Also I just wish that they had just tried to recreate Gai for Silver. The gigantic mega fanboy is a far more interesting character to survivor of his race and the Gokaigers would blow off Gai fairly often before they accepted him.
