Saban’s Power Rangers

[pturtle]

Hopefully Saban hires Villeneuve or Fincher for sequel.

I think some of you forgot what Power Rangers were....lol

I didn't . It was a show primarily for elementary school kids who play-pretended being Karate superheroes during recess. My friend and I (still friends to this day) always used to argue about who was going to be the White Ranger. We always tried to get these two girls to play with us, as the Pink and Yellow Rangers but they always thought we were stupid. So, we picked flowers from the school garden and chucked it at them hard, while yelling "Tudexo Mask!", "Sailor Moon sucks!", as they ran and screamed in terror.

Ah... Power Rangers.

I think I just grew out of the franchise in middle school, and became more involved in PC gaming and N64. But, seeing these new trailers, they don't seem to appeal to the original demographic of elementary school kids. I'm honestly not sure what kind of target audience it's trying to appeal to...

I keep trying to find a scene where they skimped on the cgi and I still can't find any and honestly this looks like it will be super cheesy fun.

This march looks pretty damn fun overall with Logan, Kong, PR and GITS leading the charge.

If Suicide Squad can with an Oscar, I'm just going to throw it out there now:

"Oscar Award-Winning Saban's Power Rangers."

Then with a big blunder at the 2018 Oscars they announce "Best picture goes to...Power Rangers!"

Chap it is now our life mission to get that envelope into their hands!

Meet me around back in 20.

PriceWaterhouseCoopers you have met your match!

We'll need to make sure Warren Beatty presents again tho.

 

[jye4ever]

Well, Warren Beatty or pturtle...both should work.

Tv teasers look decent.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah they're alright, but I don't think I'll be seeing it in the theater.

Been watching super sentai zyurangers (the show mmpr took all its footage from) and I like it far better. The mythology is richer. I wish the Japanese show got that big budget treatment and kept pretty much the same themes just grittier and more adult-ish. Like instead of characters like king sphinx just being clay monsters put in a easy bake oven, have them be resurrected from their respective mythologies. And I love the Rangers being ancient warriors and the zords being gods.

Yeah i was always shocked how better it was.

I wonder if they are going to try and hold back reviews for this movie. I'm not seeing much hype for the film so negative reviews will most likely kill this at the box office.

The problem for me isn't the fact that they are taking the material seriously. Power Rangers mostly played its mytharc fairly straight. I really don't think that a goofy "GotG" type feel would be the best fit for this. In fact the original series is a great candidate for a modern update in a culture that loves to do them.

For me the problems are in the design. Every single design I see for this movie just makes me hate it more.

From the exoskeleton costumes that aren't even the same basic type of the original design, the organic looking morpher and power coins, to Goldar looking like he was sculpted out of cheese, to that bizarre looking CGI Alpha, the mostly monochromatic Bay-era Transformers-esque Zords, to the Pin-Art Zordon. There is almost nothing here that even took the most basic design inspiration from the original show. Everyone and everything is completely unrecognizable.

For anyone saying that you can't update the original source material to be darker and modern while still remaining recognizable, check out the Boom Studios comics. They are doing the job great.

I'm Lydia Deetz and I'm of sound mind. The man next to me is the one I want. You asked me, I'm answering. Yes, I love that man of mine.

Sooooooo.....

Who reserved tickets for the Power Rangers?!?!?

Got mine for Thursday the 23rd - earliest time available - so expect a SSF's Exclusive Chap review later that night! w00t w00t!!!

 

[Chapter 2099]

Super tempted to wear my Power Ranger costume that night to the movie, but then I struggle with wanting to be comfortable too.

May just go for the conservative printed tee to show my support. Ugh. Decisions, decisions.

 

[ironwez20]

I want this to be good. It looks better handled then most nostalgia things. Say like tmnt or transformers. Atleast they all aren't dressed in black with guns and driving color coded cars.

O wait that's fast and the furious.
