I wish the movie idea that became the battle for the grid happened though. The main villain being a ranger himself and the most powerful (Tommy somehow combined the green and white coins) was pretty cool. Outfit looked cool too

Still haven't played it. The annoyance was that there are a ton of different versions, I tried to figure out the differences, then said "fuck it, I'm done."

I *really* miss the old days of gaming where you didn't have shit like that. You'd either get mildly confusing sequels (like the million SF2 titles) where you could still see what's what, or just a normal version.

Three of them thought they were worth more than they were, tried to negotiate more money, but failed. Thats why they ended up leaving the show. Thuy Trang died in a car accident in California in, from what Ive gathered, fair whether. Always struck me as odd and sad.

Which created some controversy when they made a poster for the movie using the yellow ranger and it said you dont need a liscense to drive a zord

...I'm interested in this newer one too because they remade the old theme.
The other newer themes were meh, sounded like some bad teen rock/pop like Simple Plan or something.

tbh, with a show that's run for as long as it has and had as many people involved in it as it has, that kind of shit seems inevitable >_>

I think I tried watching one of the Samurai series and it was reasonably campy fun.

All the scenes featuring the "Power Rangers" are just stock footage from a Japanese show, wtf?
Dude no offense but this was pretty commonly known back in the 90s, you just found out now?

Bro, they could have cast anyone, for any role. The odds of two characters syncing up like that by pure coincidence are microscopic.


The actor for the black ranger said it was a coincidence at one point.

You can even tell. The quality changes between scenes with their faces and scenes without (in costume).

I think I liked Power Rangers between 5-10 years old, so I have a bad memory of it, yet still has a place in my heart as a cool kids fighting show.
Watching the first season on Netflix now, yeah I see what you mean, xD
I've decided to watch Super Sentai and Power Rangers side by side and rotate, PR on Netflix and SS on TubiTV.
Super Sentai has a better plot but Power Rangers is just cheesy, in-your-face fun, so I like both for completely different reasons. xD

The joke is the original died in a car wreck. Her race was just coincidence

I'd like to think it was one bad-apple sociopath who came up with that car collision joke and most of the movie team were against it.
Apparently there was a more respectful tribute to her in the actual movie with the Yellow ranger having a T-shirt with Trang's birthdate on it.
I may see the movie eventually, from what I've read of reviews it's still better than the Transformer's live action movie

I may be wrong but I think it was a line used in the TV show before and they where just referencing it not thinking about the actress dying in a car wreck.

Yeah, but that doesn't exactly disprove anything. They originally had someone else for yellow, but they still wound up with a black guy for the black ranger and am Asian for the yellow ranger.

Why are you treating his words as verified gospel truth? For the record, I don't actually believe that it definitely was racism, but I believe it's a very real possibility, one that isn't necessarily dispelled by that one quote from one person.

The creator of Power Rangers apparently spent years pitching his idea of using super Sentai footage mixed with American actors to different TV studios who all thought he was crazy. When he finally found someone who liked the idea she allegedly nearly got fired over it.

And then be made like a kajillion dollars.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

I was joking, good racist jokes are good, shitty ones just seem like they're coming from some repressed (or possibly open) feelings of racism

Among other problems, the ONLY statements on the subject from people in the position to know have been denied that it was a deliberate choice. In fact, nobody who worked on it said it was deliberate (even the actors who have since criticized it). Only people not involved with it, who are going solely on the outcome rather than the thought process, have made that claim.

I actually knew about Super Sentai but had no idea that the footage was literally cut and paste to Power Rangers.
Dunno if anyone mentioned it but they did have the ranger costumes and some of the monster ones; they did shoot supplementary footage sometimes, espey in later seasons when the plots diverged more. They even ruined a few of those monster costumes whoops lol
