The remake movie from 2017 was actually a whole lot better than I expected it to be.

I also got to meet the Red, Blue and Pink Rangers when they were promoting that. They were all pretty cool.
How'd you know what I'm watching?
It really can be, yeah. It reminds me almost of sports entertainment because of the fighting scenes.

I wish they had better direction for that film. It suffered similar to the Fantastic Four reboot where they spend over an hour establishing their powers before they become a team. The scene where they start to morph and then everything stops was symbolic of the whole movie falling on its face.

People go on about how it meant more at the end because they "earned" their powers. I'm just like it's power rangers. The action should be the primary focus and gotten to as soon as possible. I think that's one of main issues that hurt the film.

Hard disagree. It was as good as it was BECAUSE they spent the time for character development and establishing themselves as a team. Sure, maybe it could have used more action, but yeah, I'm on the side of the slow burn meaning more in the long run.

It's like Final Fantasy Remake. So many people complained about how boxed in and linear it was, but this was the whole point of it, to make way for Rebirth when the whole world is opened to you, as Midgar also was in the original game. As such, I had hoped a follow up to the Power Rangers movie could have taken what was established in the first and went full action. Shame we never saw it.

They got it the wrong way around. The first movie needed to establish itself with cool battles and action setpieces along with a baseline origin story. That's what the majority audience for this stuff was looking for and didn't get.

Character development and arcs should have been saved for the sequels once they had drawn the fanbase in. They shot themselves in the foot doing what they did for the first film in this kind of adaptation.

I liked the episode where they fight the cookie monster
Having a goal is good, but don't let your goal depress you. Goals are meant to inspire.
the reboot movie was great, suit design notwithstanding

Personally, I'm not a big fan, but I'll give credit where it's due. The power ranger lore is actually pretty interesting and if I enjoyed action series more I'd be big into the comics of it if nothing else.

From what I have seen the power ranger lore actually beats out the DC comics lore and I would actually consider watching a phase 1 marvel movieverse style franchise of the power rangers.
I am awesome and so are you.

The OG MMPR was way befor emy time... born in 2000. I caught the old series via Netflix. I prefer their spinoff show, VR Troopers more. Maybe because I liked the badguys being robotic than a pumpkin or a pig head with arms and legs.

The reboot film was meant to be a six movie arc but they botched the first film so that all went out the window.

the opening scene with alien Waltuh White was pretty cool
I wanted to like the rest of it but ehh
yeah, I'm thinking I'm back
Interestingly Power Rangers In Space is much better than MMPR but few people have seen that because it wasn't as popular

I didn't see In Space until much later and is definitely one of the better seasons. It's great in the fact that it actually wraps up six seasons worth of story arc and is like a true finale.

Plus I get a kick out of the Ninja Turtle crossover episode even though that Ninja Turtle: Next Mutation show was pretty garbage.

It sucks that there wont be another ranger series after Cosmic Fury. Rumor is theyre going to reboot it.

Also, I was bored one night and a made a list from best rangers show all the way down to my least favorite. I think least favorite was a toss up between mystic force and something else.

Why does no one talk about it then? People only talk about MMPR nowadays

Probably due to MMPR being more iconic in retrospect. They also had more seasons and a movie and the original team were so memorable they took on a life of their own in terms of Power Rangers nostalgia, especially when Rangers like Jason and Tommy left and returned multiple times.

I'd be willing to bet a good chunk of the people who watched In Space wouldn't even remember the names of the rangers in that season.

i have played the first two or three levels, i think

it's kind of difficult solo. me and a friend tried to use parsec to play, but she's got limited mobility and can't use a controller either, and since there's no fuckin key rebinding it wasn't possible for her to play

Hearing about the company behind Power Rangers, Saban, kinda sucks tho. They were basically exploiting these actors/actresses who were basically too young to understand how bad they were getting ripped off. It didn't really change much throughout the years, as 2013 show revealed that the actors were getting paid less than McDonalds employees.

Unrelated, I had Asian relatives when I was young so I was exposed to the original source of where they got the footage from, Super Sentai (and MMPR footage was taken from Zyurangers). As a young kid, I did not question the things I saw, but rewatching as an adult, the original Japanese version was just so silly and wild.

The 'Megazord' was actually their God who was quite hostile. He was very adamant at telling the heroes to go murder the monsters over saving kids. During the encounter with the Green Ranger, the most iconic story arc in MMPR, Round 2 was actually just God ejecting the Rangers out of the cockpit and solo-ing the Dragonzord equivalent. He was basically going to kill the Dragonzord if Red didn't kill Green (who was Red's Older Brother).

I got a review copy for that game when it came out, it was definitely a 'for fans' kind of game.

Similar games were way better such as Streets of Rage 4 and Shredder's Revenge (and I didn't exactly think those were GREAT either).

The gameplay felt slow as molasses and unresponsive, the character move sets felt too similar.

The Mode 7 stages with the Megazords were very glitchy (noticing times where it takes away 2 lives when someone dies).

Most of the major problems were addressed and fixed like 2 weeks after release so it's a much more playable game now.
