Pretty damn far away

Spoiler

Ep 32 I believe

Ah crap, okay thanks.

 

[F0rneus]

I think Trakeena caused me to develop a bug-girl fetish.

Pretty sure that Power Rangers is responsible for a shit ton of fetishes.

 

[Spiritreaver]

This episode is selling me on Kai over Leo 100%.

 

[InStrangerAeons]

The identity of the thief

 

[Frozenprince]

In some cases, it was on at noon on ABC. In either case, with zero advertising. Disney clearly wanted to get rid of it but had to air it.

IIRC it was basically because they had to honor the toy deal with Bandai and do one more show.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Yeah, your weapons will be really secure in a goddamned greenhouse.

 

[shingi70]

This some B movie shit.


Can't the Rangers Space ship turn into a megazord.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Goodness is Red Rangers being thirst magnets not a thing?

 

[TropicalFish]

Gekiranger it is then. Does its yellow ranger have as much gusto as her Power Rangers counterpart? Her shrieks in the unmorphed fight compilation are lowkey iconic.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

yeah gekiranger is the best up there with deka and bouken for my fav 2000s sentai for me

geki will make you cry though

 

[Frozenprince]

Goodness is Red Rangers being thirst magnets not a thing?

It should be. Most of them are FIIIIIINE

 

[WillyFive]

How is Jungle Fury and its Sentai counterpart regarded in the community? I'm thinking about watching it ahead of time.

Gekiranger is Top 3 or Top 5 Sentai depending on who you ask.

Jungle Fury is obnoxious and terrible outside of one character.

it was bumped by golf a lot over here

 

[sqwarlock]

Man, I keep harping on it but this cheesy synth-orchestra is not hyping me up for these fight scenes. Like, at all.

 

[Midonin]

Ran does have gusto, but it's more of a Japanese gusto compared to Lily.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Really, really liking this trend of female villains in Power Rangers.

Yeah. It helps that the female villains themselves tend to get well-developed over the course of the particular seasons they're in, mostly.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Can't the Rangers Space ship turn into a megazord.

They don't have any Sentai footage of the Astro Megazord fighting the monsters from this season though.

 

[MHWilliams]

I like how the purpose of watching Power Rangers have to turn into waifu watching.

That's the purpose of watching anything.

How is Jungle Fury and its Sentai counterpart regarded in the community? I'm thinking about watching it ahead of time.

Gekiranger was a great show. Jungle Fury wasted the premise.

GekiYellow is the serious one of her season.

LOL yeah.

 

[shingi70]

Why did Disney end up fucking over Power Rangers. Seem like a franchise that would flourish in their hands , and in hindsight it would have helped Disney XD.

 

[mattwhite924]

Man, I keep harping on it but this cheesy synth-orchestra is not hyping me up for these fight scenes. Like, at all.

Losing Ron Wasserman was really a blow to the show.

 

[Sou Da]

I'm back we still on Lights?

 

[Hidden One]

Why did Disney end up fucking over Power Rangers. Seem like a franchise that would flourish in their hands , and in hindsight it would have helped Disney XD.

Least they went out with a bang with RPM and didn't get lazy even though they knew it was their last season with a low budget.

 

[momotroniuity]

Why did Disney end up fucking over Power Rangers. Seem like a franchise that would flourish in their hands , and in hindsight it would have helped Disney XD.

IIRC, They wanted total control of the franchise, instead of partial ownership with Toei and Bandai.

 

[shingi70]

Least they went out with a bang with RPM and didn't get lazy even though they knew it was their last season with a low budget.

Didn't ROM get by because at that point no one gave a crap about what the power rangers team was doing.

 

[Midonin]

They acquired Marvel. Also, they were never able to figure out how to advertise it against all their other stuff. This was back when they had more teen sitcoms than the resurgence they're having now.

you dont remember the re edits of mmpr with the batman special effects?

 

[WillyFive]

They bought it as part of a package, they never really wanted it.

If today's Disney would have gotten it instead, it would certainly have been a different story; especially how they now own Marvel, and Super Sentai has three seasons that were made in partnership with Marvel.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Gekiranger was a great show. Jungle Fury wasted the premise.

Jungle Fury was so much fun though.....😢

 

[Hidden One]

you dont remember the re edits of mmpr with the batman special effects?

We try not to talk about that...

 

[ReiGun]

it helps that its aware that the source material is goofy and makes fun of it

if there was one thing i wish they would have taken from it, its definetely the goon wings instrumental, but it wouldnt fit the theme

The Go-On Wings theme is so fucking hype. But yeah, it wouldn't have fit Gem and Gemma at all.

 

[momotroniuity]

I imagine that had Disney retained it, It would be in Marvel's hands by now.

 

[mattwhite924]

you dont remember the re edits of mmpr with the batman special effects?

We don't talk about those abominations.

Though it was cool seeing the original Megazord on toy shelves again. Too bad it wasn't the original mold though.

They probably would have went through with that animated movie of the first Sentai if they got it now.

 

[Midonin]

Jungle Fury is awkward for me for personal reasons that would take a long time to explain. It's awkward for everyone else because it aired in the middle of the writers' strike.

 

[Luigi87]

Viewership dropped quite a bit since the In Space finale it seems.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Ah yes the Hannah Montana era.

Damn, Power Rangers lost so many viewers that it got sold as a package?

 

[Miggy]

LEO REDEEMED

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Leo with the smart plan.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

They bought it as part of a package, they never really wanted it.

Hell, they were originally gonna let it die with Wild Force.

Damn, Power Rangers lost so many viewers that it got sold as a package?

They bought the entirety of Saban.

 

[Hidden One]

I imagine that had Disney retained it, It would be in Marvel's hands by now.

Marvel's Power Rangers.....


They probably would have been in the Avengers

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Get the fuck outta here Leo...


That was a TJ level plan

 

[ArgyleReptile]

That dagger was a pretty awesome toy.

 

[Parallax]

honestly, i bet now they wish they help on to the power rangers franchise. especially with the natural synergy marvel and super sentai have

 

[Zantetsuken]

WIND SCAR

 

[WillyFive]

I imagine had Disney retained it, It would be in Marvel's hands by now.

It would have been full circle:

 

[MHWilliams]

Power Rangers with those daggers low-key look like they're coming to shank your entire family.

 

[PureYeti]

Green Ranger: Yah...
