Honestly it's kinda surprising Hasbro hasn't gone hog wild on crossing over Power Rangers with all of their other properties

I'm sure they're busy working out a set of Transformers that go from MMPR Ranger forms to their individual Zords

there was an episode of Gobusters that featured Gavan so they used that episode and suit to have him as a new character

I dunno if it was Saban Ent. talking poo poo or the internet making stuff up but wasn't there some talk of them adapting Decade in some way or another (As 'Power Rider', no less) to make sense of the crossover?

they registered a trademark for Power Rider around the time they bought the franchise back and were doing Samurai and then internet speculation went from there

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.

first Dino Fury trailer:

just the usual "vague stuff about the setup and then a bunch of Sentai footage" stuff

oh yeah, and to the surprise of absolute nobody, the ~mysterious silhouette~ for the third character in the current Battle for the Grid season pass turned out to be Scorpina

Like you said, it's not surprising, but I still can't help but feel a tad disappointed that Scorpina made it in. There are still multiple seasons that don't have even a single representative, but instead of any of them, they spring for... an obscure minor villain from the first season that hardly anyone even remembers?

RJ and Lauren are such solid picks that I'm mostly just kinda "okay, sure, whatever" about the third character being another from MMPR. It was just really funny that they tried to do the whole "oooh, so mysterious" thing when the minute everyone saw the silhouette we knew it was Scorpina


drrockso20 posted:

I figure it's mostly cause Scorpina was in Green With Evil

Yeah, I guess this way you can have a Tommy/Goldar/Scorpina GWE team if you fancy

even when the footage was soft SD stuff Trini's Ranger form was obviously different from Kimberly's and it never occurred to me to wonder at all why that was when i was seven or whatever years old watching MMPR

i dunno, maybe kids are more astute now and would be more likely to notice, i figure there's enough discrepancies between the footage as it is that it's not any bigger a deal now than it was in the first Saban era and i'd personally prefer more female Ranger characters even if they're obviously genderswapped from their Sentai counterparts

I also appreciate that not all the girls have to wear skirts. That just feels right to me.

This is a good point that I'd never really thought to articulate myself before, yeah. Moving away from reinforcing the "they're one of the girls, so they have to have a skirt" idea is good

Come to think of it, did any ranger actually have an acting career before they were on Power Rangers (I know Amy Jo Johnson, JYB, and Erin Cahill went on to have something of one afterwards at least)?

In the Disney era they started getting people that were actors first, so the Aussie and Kiwi Rangers tended to have appeared on local soaps like Home and Away and Shortland Street before becoming Power Rangers

I honestly kind of like that one though. It is not really a rapl either.

For some reason "Five fingers reachin' for the sky in five ways,
Five heroes walkin' through the sun for five days,
Dark forces lurkin', leavin' evil where they roam
Five Rangers lookin' for the same five stones!" is a real earworm to me. And I like the instrumentation

Also they really need to retire “Go Go Power Rangers” for a while/for good, it’s getting old now.

I don't mind it when it's like Dino Charge where there's an entire original song before it gets to that part. As a recurring motif worked into larger songs I'm like "yeah sure, that's okay, whatever" even if I'd probably prefer them stand entirely on their own

Post changeover Turbo is pretty decent, having watched the five episodes after the handover so far. Passing the Torch is a pretty good story on its own, apart from the actual transfer feeling kind of abrupt and like something that could have been developed a smidge more. Though honestly there probably wasn't a whole extra episode in that either, really, it's just that the "hey, remember guys, this is your Ultimate Mission" comes out of nowhere in the last ten minutes

And then after that it feels like the show is willing to embrace the Sentai footage a bit more instead of using as little as possible the way it felt like at the start of the season, Bulk and Skull taking on and immediately failing at jobs is a better comedy b plot than the stuff when they were monkeys, it all just kind of works a bit better

It'll never happen, but I'd love a LuPat adaptation where the ranger teams are explicitly enemies rather than angsty allies working at cross purposes, and the cop rangers are unequivocally bad guys

Yeah, I never watched any LuPat so I don't know how well the footage supports it but just conceptually you could easily do a Streets of Rage thing where the Lupinrangers are the few former cops who were willing to quit to be able to combat the institutional corruption from outside the system.

This was very very nice

This whole episode is really charming

I'm really enjoying Dino Fury so far, morph sequence and theme song notwithstanding

Wasn't the strongest episode we've had so far but yeah, I thought it was nice. Definitely handled the message and inclusion 100x better than I'd expect a show wouldve when I was in the target audience, while also progressing the larger toy marketing story

As long as they cut the morphing sequence down in an episode or two I'm fine with it, I assume it's just been so long since we're still building the team together but if they're still doing it like this later on it'll be bad yeah

The tragedy of the theme song is that the episode bgm has been really good and you can hear some of the same style in the opening instrumentation but then it has the whole GGPR thing smothering it
