So this is getting slightly complicated,
There's:
>Power Rangers Aftershock
A comic based on this year's movie… is very boring, kinda like the movie itself so I guess is a fair comic.
>BOOM Power Rangers vs/& Justice League.
Seems beyond retarded and won't look at it until proven otherwise.
>BOOM Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
The current iteration of PR comics, its edgier but I dare to say that it knows how to be edgy and where to respect the original material… unlike certain recent movie but it seems that is ending in issue #18 for the looks of that there's a new series announced.
>BOOM's Pink Ranger
A spin off to the one just mentioned, is okay 6/10, noticeably pozzed but slightly at it and doesn't focuses on that.
>BOOM's GO GO POWER RANGERS
The newest series that is starting this July, it has the same artist that did PINK and looks pretty fucking stupid compared to this one… and is MMPR AGAIN, either POZZES the well or is lolsoquirky.
Anyways in the last issue we got the Zordons from both dimensions interacting with each other in the Morphing Grid, the one that failed to convince Tommy to leave Rita's side and the one from the series, showing scenes of how the wars were battled until Rita gained control of the earth and Tommy turned into Drakkon, but this only elevated our Zordon's hopes as he realizes how different Tommy has been from their side since then.

No, it's just really bad. Dumb fucks at Saban tried really hard to replicate whatever made MMPR popular down to the opening song and it fucking failed. They are lucky there are some autists like myself that still like Power Ranger, but they are mot willing in expend a single penny to make it better. A lot of people thought Saban was going to do it right again, but they didn't, I don't get exactly why, though.
Also I'd love for this sentai to come here but I'm worried under what circumstances. I'd love for it to finally be something like Hexagon. I don't mind if they pander to nostalgia, but I think what people liked aboht the old ones is the extensive lore. Other than that, they should stop being cheap fucks or at east give some depth to the story like Space through Wild Force did, but by then it was mostly Disney.
No.887361

The real way to make an american toku… is just to make something original with the help of toku writers/costumers. But kikes like Saban unfortunately made the splicing process the only foreseeable method. Personally I wouldn't want to see Power Rangers continue. But it will. Sadly will.

True. They can just make a 1:1 adaption of Kyuranger, doing a dub with some minor localization Riceballs are donuts. That would be better than the usual formula, that worked nicely in the 90s but it's really cheap now.
To be fair, the west tried and the result is the horrible PR movie. They just don't get what makes tokusatsu great. Also, is not like all Power Rangers are bad, you have some fantastic master pieces like Lightspeed Rescue, SPD and RPM that are mostly western. SPD is a sad case where the budget was burnt but the first few episodes were probably the best Power Rangers ever had.
Also, kyuranger design was consulted with people involved with Power Ranger since japs ran out of ideas.

It was to have a more american hero sort of look. Which means it's more than likely from the start meant to become a spliced Ranger show. It really has to be a hardcore collaboration for there to be a full on American Tokusatsu to happen and understand the core of it all.

The first one was fine, the new one played it too safe in normalfag terms. It didnt embrace PR far enough, even the original mmpr actors complained they did some things badly. Saban is just terrible in picking the write people to make a film and blew their budget too. They just needed to get some old writers from the past and have them work on the film, not fuck up the designs as they did and not go full grim dark.
If there's ever a sequel, they're going to pull a tmnt 2 and try a soft reboot.

They remind me of the costumes they did for the first movie. Little details everywhere but everything is solid. It's a nice design.
>>887375
The first one is one of my favorite movies but suffer from the same thing the new movie did: You barely see the transformation at all. In the first one they literally use the costumes in a single action scene, which admittedly is really damn good, but that's about it, the rest is them dicking around until the very end that they use the zords. You can say the same about the new one but the difference is the first one had them going on an adventure to retrieve their powers, while the new one is about stupid teenager problems. I swear I almost fell asleep watching. It had the same tone as that movie with the guys with psychic powers, and the plot is just terrible, I didn't even liked Rita, let alone Goldar.
>They need to bring back old writers
The problem is that, as you said, the writers either blow the budget or are passionate retards that grasp too much. To be honest, I agree with the other anon, if they want to do it good, they have to work with the japs. Also, to be fair, the new movie was a money sink too, and it didn't achieve much, although I think it was successful of sorts.

>Terona – 21, male, war veteran
>Daniel – 18, male, student/protestor
>Grace – 21, female, head secretary at NASA and wannabe astronaut

I would have liked Hexagon a lot more, specially after how cool Forever Red was, even if it didn't delivered for the hype. The only good part of Ninja Storm was Lothor, it was weird as fuck, it didn't know if it was comedy or what, and the production quality is not as good compared to Wild Force.
>SPD was a lot of what Hexagon was supposed to be anyways

That's about it, but maybe that's why is one of the best seasons. But it's nothing like deepest lore. I wonder why Power Rangers is afraid to bring back old rangers. They were all one hit wonders, so they probably would work for cheap. I do want a lot of teams too, either if the old ones or random ones. The latest sentai is pretty good in adding more sentais than normal.
>>898442
Too expensive for (((Saban))). Imagine how much it would cost at the time to bring back some of the old rangers and then all of them, plus the new scenes they probably had to shoot wearing the suits, which is even more expensive, plus bringing back old monsters like Daisatan.

I think all PR needs is good acting, and better writing for character development to give a single shit about the team or what is going on. Nothing stellar, but not on the levels of the latest seasons where everyone is as bland as a cardboard.
I felt engaged any time the Timer Force Red Ranger's father was against him without knowing it was his son and his own struggle with his disease, it was quite nice, same with the pink ranger relationship with the red ranger and the guy that looks like him in the future. When you play it too safe, it's just boring, even for kids.
>>898987
That's the problem. Mystic Force was bland and boring, it didn't had absolutely anything for it to stand out. It's not a problem of just writing. Visuals were always fucking blue and gritty and the sound was too low, just like the PR movie. There was no impact whatsoever so no damn reason to watch it. As for Megaforce, it was the interpretation of suits about what made the original MMPR good, same with Samurai, and even pandered long time fans with Bulk. The characters and everything was boring, and instead of acting all they did was like laughing and saying stupid shit, and to be fair, that seemed to be a thing in the original PR, just like this >>895956
The difference is that MMPR you usually just cared about Tommy, Jason and Kimberly love triangle and at those times it gets interesting, but you still cared about Billy because he was lovely, for example, and the yellow ranger, neither the asian or the nigger, did anything to stand out. The reason In Space was more popular was the amount of drama in their final objective of saving Gordon, that always built tension over the whole serie, and the episodes where they just fucked around were the worst ones. I always thought filler episodes could be used to further character development, because they're not bad, you just have no reason to watch them, not like every single detail should matter, but expose the public to some character further should be nice, like SPD.

Anon is right, you usually feel how high spirited toku in general is, no matter how cheesy, in fact, that's actually part of it. Embed related. Kamen Rider used to be directed to families, not only kids, which is why it's usually more passionate than Super Sentai, which is a blatant kid's show.
That being said, I think Power Ranger is made with a lot more passion at times than Super Sentai ever was. Kamen Rider is regarded in Japan as an icon rather than Super Sentai for a reason, so it's nice that Power Rangers turned that around in the west. The whole idea of Hexagon is proof of that.

I meant Zordon. Dunno why I wrote Gordon, but I chuckled.
No.899438

See the problem is the passion doesn't come across when the acting is terrible and the show is even cheaper than Super Sentai just in general. Which is a big fault when it's in the hands of Disney or Saban who want to hoard as many shekels as they can. So that means bad actors, bad simple plotlines, few to no original suit footage use, etc.
But I will say that Power Rangers does or rather did have hits of passion back in the day. I still remember a few bits of SPD well. Particularly the part where a prisoner tricks the blue ranger into crying over, I believe, his father so he can escape in his tear. That stuck with me for some reason. SPD in general just felt like they actually gave a damn to make something new.
No.899455
>>899438
Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. You can have 90% using recycled scenes and you can still try really hard to make it good, and honestly that have quite succeeded, but that makes you wonder what could happen if PR because it's own standalone thing. For producers, Power Rangers is "Cheap but hard to make float", and if you apply that analogy to boats, no one will ever want a boat like that unless they really like boats.
To be fair, Disney tried, they sank in quite more money than Saban ever did. At the time of Lightspeed Rescue, Disney already started to invest a bit more on it, and the quality noticeably improved, with better plots, acting and development. The problem is that Disney wanted to make it more marketable for kids and they started to add their shitty Disney™ tropes and music and dumbed down the plots, and you see that slow regression from Ninja Storm to the godawful thing Mystic Force was, which was the bottom of the barrel. In fact, the less Disney execs did, the better it turned, like RPM and even SPD or Dino Thunder.
>That stuck with me for some reason. SPD in general just felt like they actually gave a damn to make something new
Same, I remember a lot about the Green Ranger even though I've not seen SPD in a long time, you can notice how all the characters are even more memorable than the original MMPR even though it was a short ride. SPD was the ranger season we needed, but not the one we deserved.

RPM was bretty gud for 20 episodes or so:
>The western girl was in almost every scene with the Rangers so it was obvious it wasn't stock footage.
>The characters were interesting and had great backstories; Green, A low tier mob that used his outlaw status as Robin Hood. Red, a pilot who lost his brother and has daddy issues. Yellow, a pampered princess who was suddendly faced with Terminator tier end of the world and last loved one died saving her ass. Black, Badass jerk with heart of gold PG Mad Max I must recover my memories kind of guy. Secluded, sociopathic, autistic, savant mentor.
>The Green ranger was a deuteragonist and the Black ranger was the protagonist which was interesting.
>The antagonist usually used Emperor Groom diversion tactics on steroids, it wasn't a rare sight to have two rangers on zords while others fighting on ground.
>Built sets and again, no footage.

Only merits are when the two start fighting together. Every one of these movies is basically the same usually involving time displacement, or dimension hopping to break the teams up. Sometimes one team or ranger becomes evil but it usually goes no where.
>current team only film
Short and ultimately just a lead in for the Kamen Rider movie it's paired with. Only one I like is Flying Ghost Ship and that's mostly just the funny bit where cgi ghosts have a song number that ends abruptly when the Gokaigers decide to fuck off to the next scene, and the mooks of seasons past combining into a single abomination.
That said there are a few teams that were given actually good movies Dekaranger in particular has a bunch, and Gokaiger vs Gavan is my personal favorite.
