get your lameass mmpr wackyness out of your system now PLS

Post by gmottl »

probability i will regret making this post- 98.9 %. chance of fun for all- 50.0 %

i've been wanting to see zyuranger but also dreading it because there are way to many people who see geki and go, JASON. or worse, why is tommy speaking japanese.

since not all of us see sentai through the eyes of power rangers (i'm the other way around), i thought those who wanted to liken this sweet classic to a show that should NOT have been remastered (stick with the animated feature bluray re-releases please disney), they could do that here.

slam it or geek it, i don't think you can fight this. i for one can't wait to see pudgy pig in his original japanese material.

and moderators, i mean you no harm, please enjoy this.

[looks around, see no one]

i'm talkin to myself here arn't i.

I grew up with Power Rangers, and still like it. I find PR is at its best when it isn't adapting Sentai, but just uses the fight footage with new plots.

Which I like better really depends on the season. I love Bokenger, but Overdrive is terrible (well, the Rangers are, the supporting cast is pretty good), while SPD and RPM beat out Dekaranger and Go-Onger.

I'm looking forward to the Zyuranger subs because of wanting to see the show MMPR came from, AND wanting to watch Zyuranger.

I also want to watch Japanese Power Rangers shows, but I've only seen one full episode online, and there don't seem to be any DVD releases.

So, I guess you hate Time Force and Wild Force? :P

I like Time Force (especially Vernon Wells), but it's just missing something compared to In Space, Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue.

Wild Force was mostly dull. The Time Force crossover was great, though.

And RPM had great writing, good acting, and the constant mood-whiplash (set in a post apyoptlactic future, and the last line of defense is a fleet of vehicles with faces because the designed thought it was cute) was very entertaining.

rpm was good but go-on was way better, i loved that the engines were separate characters like the zectors in kabuto, they had their own thoughts and methods, gunpherd yelling at gunpei when he missed those shots in GP06, funny.

but i think i meant this thread to be for the original series since it's in the zuyranger forum, that's why i put mmpr in the title, i think the mods might go rito on us on lock it if we deviate too much.

Hey i have seen some of the zuu ranger and must say i enjoyed it greatly, and found it better the mighty morphin but i still love mighty morphin. I do find that most times the super sentasi seems to beat the power rangers except in space and light speed resuce which are ten times better then there sentai counter parts by the way

Toei hasn't revealed it yet, but my sources are indicating that the 6th Zyuranger is Green!

Jetman all the way XD

As I grew up in Japan and was surprised when Juu/Zyu (it's a pun of beast w/ weird romanization) came out, I was kinda lolwat when MMPR came out. I can say that I have mixed emotions on Power Rangers but yeah, it's a phenomenon that made Super Sentai, the original show be typecasted as a "Japanese clone of Power Rangers that only kids watch" to not really much of a fan of the genre (aka, passive "fans").

I really really tried watching Power Rangers but all those unnecessary explosions and fight scenes that would have been better if they were just added as a script and plot of overall story made me fast forward those scenes. And to be honest, the cheeziness of Westernized "Japanese clone of Power Rangers that only kids watch" made me a bit :| because their only audience are really focused on kids ._. Sentai on the other hand had considered that their audience are also housewives making the story a bit more complexed :P Also, I noticed that compared to recent Super Sentai series, Power Rangers has 15 more or less shorter in episodes compared to Super Sentai... which has a bit, for me, a problem if the extra episodes could have been used in character development, story development, plot development, etc etc.

I honestly am kinda thankful that Choujin Sentai Jetman didn't had a Power Rangers counterpart. Heh, I remember my aunt watched an episode with me way back when I had VHS recordings of the show as I rewatch and she said "This is supposed to be a kids show?" Yeah, Jetman has more aspects of it being a JDrama actually :P

I think the writer strike crisis was the reason why some of the later seasons were so short...

Considering that Power Rangers was produced in New Zealand from 2003 to 2009, I doubt US writers strikes had any particular impact. Disney was just being cheap, because they didn't actually want the brand in the first place, and only kept it alive under pressure from Bandai.
