How does a Power Rangers movie sound?

I don't know why goofy and dark/gritty are suddenly mutually exclusive. They COULD do something like a super robot version of TMNT, for instance (although I doubt they'd ever go quite that dark).
Also, a reboot could be good without going dark at all. I'm thinking along the lines of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann or the Wachowski's Speed Racer.
What do all of these things have in common? Fun. Power Rangers can be a lot of things, but it needs fun.
Also, I'd love one of those hoodies minus the bracer designs.

No. Fuck Tommy.
First, he upstaged Jason by becoming the broken N+1 (green) ranger in Mighty Morphin. Then he does it again when he becomes the broken N+1 (white) ranger. Then when Jason comes back as the broken N+1 (gold) ranger, and it's Jason's time to shine? Tommy still hogs the spotlight and stays as team leader.
Finally, Dino Thunder. I was ready to forgive him when he started out the series by taking on the Zordon role for a new group of rangers. I thought that was pretty cool: an old veteran helping the new generation. But then Tommy fucking became the broken N+1 (black) ranger again!
Seriously, the dude does not know how to share the spotlight. So fuck him and his awesome dragon zord, his talking tiger sword, and his PhD. in paleontology! Grumble, grumble...
Fuck yeah his dragon zord was awesome.

Man, ain't nobody trying to rep Jason. Dude is weaksauce, through and through.
"bu bu but he fought goldar with no morpher"
No, he ran away for 2 episodes and 10 commercial breaks until he got a break and had TOMMY distract Goldar so he could escape.
Tommy swag > Jason lameness.
Jason beat Tommy in the REAL fight. The first time Tommy just took them by surprise.
But Tommy is awesome too, remember when he fought Lord Zedd? Oh and Tommy's Red Battle Zeozord > Dragonzord.
But, Rocky is the best Ranger. He was also smart enough to BAIL THE FUCK OUT when Turbo started.

Dino Thunder's the only season where I actually kinda like him. He doesn't really take too much attention from the core team and works well in the mentor/support Ranger role.
Dragon zord is best zord. Tommy himself is alright, I liked him until I learned about the whole behind the scenes incident. That kind of soured things.
What happened behind the scenes?
Apparently he used to bully Billy for being gay or something.
Billy was gay? I'm learning all kinds of stuff about PR form this thread!
They didn't go to the Peace Conference, they just wanted more money.
Yeah it is the reason why he left, he then joined a Pray the Gay away camp.
Because the green ranger will always be the best, and the green ranger was Tommy who was also the white ranger.
Because baka gaijin don't know the awesomness of Big One and Banban.

Because most people stopped watching the show after that, so it's all they know.
david yost and jason david frank appeared in a panel together a year or two ago. yost seemed to be relatively okay. jason david frank looked embarrassed when yost would bring up some of the stuff frank did.
Pretty much this, after the first season of Power rangers the only ones I remember watching were Wild Force, a bit of Time Force, SPD, and Dino Thunder.
Do you have a link to this?
I saw it until Lost Galaxy.

Yup. I stopped during Galaxy, started again with Dino Force and SPD, saw a bit of whatever the Magic one was called, then stopped again.
I have memories of some of the series between Wild Force and MMPR, but it was a long time ago. I remember though that I watched Dino Thunder because of Tommy and SPD just because it had been so long since I had watched a Power Rangers show. I stopped there but I also remember seeing a commercial for the magic one where everybody had accents and it was terrible.
EDIT: I don't remember the order of the series but it felt like forever since Power Rangers aired when SPD came around. I don't know why.
Fake edit: Searched it up and SPD came right after Dino Thunder. Didn't completely finish Dino thunder so it's probably why it felt like it had been a while since I saw power rangers. I was also mad that there was no green ranger, all the series without a green ranger are automatically get negative points.
ohhh yes.
The actress was also in Hellcats, the show about cheerleaders and that's all I remember about it. That and the fact that it was cancelled
.I remember Zed, I think he used to scare me as a child he looks creepy as fuck for a children's show.

I feel like with Hollywood's love of taking old children's things and giving them big budget, "mature" adaptions (Transformers, GI Joe, etc), it's going to happen soon with Power Rangers.
Also, Michael Cera will be the red ranger.

I would kill for one. Also, I want that Apcolyptic version of Captain Planet to finally see the light of day. god that would be so sweet.

In terms of MMPR, I like each subsequent season less. Bigger stories doesn't really mean much with the level of writing in the show, and there's a marked decline in the quality of the action when they stop using Japanese footage (or, in the case of the Zord fights for the first half of season two, start stitching it together from two different source materials).
Because it stopped being good after the original.
or maybe I just grew up
MMPR was pretty bad, though. Later series improved upon the show a lot (it had ups and downs though).
That's not even talking about the source material, which is all kinds of awesome.
Then again, I didn't grow up with Power Rangers, so it may be harder for one who did to get used to the idea that Power Rangers doesn't only mean Dinosaurs and a big floating head.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
Pretty much. RPM was set in a post-apocalyptic world where people had to live in a dome. You can't exactly go back now that the Samurai rangers met one of the RPM rangers. You would also recant the Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder since Tommy was a Dino Thunder ranger. Not to mention the awesome Ninja Storm vs. Dino Thunder battle.
While I have fond memories of the older seasons (pretty much the first all the way up to In Space, where I think I did end up outgrowing the series), they are laughably bad. Bogus plots, shoddy acting, the works. It gets outright hilarious at times.
But the only seasons I can actually call "good" not merely in a nostalgic sense are probably Time Force, SPD, and surprisingly RPM.

The audience feedback/questions in that last video is The Android's Dungeon level sad.
Name of this KR series?
That's Fourze, the most recent one. I don't watch, but I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Yeah, Fourze's great so far. Very high energy and ridiculous in all the right ways.
The only Kamen Rider series I saw was the one with Tendou, and I think that one actually is Kabuto.
If you guys have been keeping up with Linkara's History of Power Rangers and haven't seen this little gem, I beg you to check it out.

Wanna know what happened to Tommy?
He went into MMA and apparently EVERY tattoo parlor he ever found.
His debut in 2010
From what I've seen hes fast (duh...has been since his muay thai days), but he has the worst defense versus takedowns I've ever seen. Everyone plants him including the boxing blob from his debut. Also that left arm tat of Jesus Didn't Tap. My childhood is reeling here.

I'm still waiting for the SPD recap :[

The whole thing is a Christ allegory. Zordon is Jesus.
Fourze is great.
Why?
Same thing as any other superhero thing, except with manlier explosions.
Yeah, he said he was going to get out by the end of 2011, but complications arose.

Well yeah, his nana got sick and he moved into a new, low-rent condo. Also, bathroom breaks.
