Thread 148908190

>Fighting alien kaiju with your family on a Friday night is a totally normal part of being a teenager... right? Well, it is for Maise, who, despite her protests, continues the family legacy of keeping the world safe, all while trying to get good grades, impress her crush, and balance extracurriculars. But growing up in this family means Maise must live up to the expectations of those she’s destined to protect while not losing herself in the process.

power rangers is literally an adaptation of the super sentai series, its not a genre. it very much is from that specific series. you're thinking of tokusatsu for the genre as a whole.

Everything about this has been pretty insulting towards the assumed intelligence of this "young adult" audience so far.

>>148909034
When I was a kid 30 years ago "young adult" meant it was aimed at a 13 year old. Although now it seems to mean 20 something that never grew up.

>>148909056
Maybe it's just the limitations of American publishing but even stuff aimed at literal elementary schoolers in Japan has more depth than this. Hell, Hunger Games came out more than a decade ago and was allowed to handle the death and politics without the kiddie gloves.

>>148909201
>the monster doesn't kill the enemy right there while he's immobilized
Yeah, okay

>>148909112
Tbf I'm pretty sure some japanese media aimed at elementary schoolers tend to be wayyy more violent than their counterparts in America. I recall official Demon Slayer-themed educational materials being a thing despite the anime featuring lots of blood and violence (I believe Mugen Train was a hard R in the U.S. while it was considered a family film in Japan).

This is another bizarre thing. It's apparently literally a crime to investigate these Clans' civilian identity, but they're very casual about how they're going to make that a center piece of a planned series of news articles.
There's also the odd contrast between the activity having become mundane and the ongoing effort to keep it completely out of sight of civilians.

>>148909034
You gotta judge this from the quality standards of the capeshit market, not from that of YA fiction.

And that's it. What did you think of it?

>>148909525
Story-wise? Completely generic. Tokusatsu "inspired" in the same way every female weeb tries to do a magical girl "inspired" series at some point in their career. Lots of plot holes that are waved away with "don't think about it too hard" like the vicious monster not killing Daichi when it had the chance and Citialli's mom banking her career on a story that's literally illegal to publish instead of doing some gossip rag on the new Trooper. Pacing is also way too fast and none of the characters, even the MC, have a compelling arc. If there are any preteen graphic novel fans, they probably won't see any of the issues with the generic premise and speedrun handling of tragedy. Good luck if the kid has read at least one manga in their life, though.
Art-wise? Competent. The artist must read manga though because a bunch of the panel and page layouts look like they'd read better if mirrored. A lot of comic artists who read lots of manga have this problem with page composition. The colors look a bit airbrushed and webtoon-y. The only noteworthy page is the double spread in the beginning where you can tell the artist had way more tike to draw that for promotional purposes. Action is unreadable at times and badly paced.
Overall? If I were giving this a review on goodreads, a 3/5 since I acknowledge that I'm older than the target demo. If I were rating on my own enjoyment and judgement of the writing and art quality, I'd give it a 2.5/5. If it had actual qualities that an adult could appreciate like a culture clash between Daichi being straight up Japanese vs. Japanese-American (and not him being a generic American stereotype of an overachiever with an ego) or the mom struggling to show patience towards her daughter whose irresponsibility ultimately led to the death of her husband, then maybe it could've been a 4/5.

>>148909227
You've never watched a sentai in your life.

>>148909672
>or the mom struggling to show patience towards her daughter whose irresponsibility ultimately led to the death of her husband, then maybe it could've been a 4/5.
The dad got attacked by a new type of alien. That really wasn't an issue that could've been solved by her simply being around from the start, so I think that the author did not fuck up that particular bit.

>>148909723
>it was just copying a common plot hole in a genre for toddlers
And?

>>148909741
Eh, the mom was shown to be short-tempered in the beginning and was the easiest vehicle to show the weight of the dad's death. The fact that the AI in the tube and the mom's brother were the ones to reassure Maise that it wasn't her fault feels strange more than anything. It makes since for Maise to blame herself since that's what many teens would do in that situation, but not giving any depth to the mom's handling of it (she was dragged into this, loved her husband dearly, then was made the new leader for a bit) was a big missed opportunity ot give the story greater depth. For how much the story is about family, no one has an actual character arc besides Maise and Daichi.

>>148908667
Come on Matt you should've supervised the foot anatomy better

>>148909822
Remember it's effectively capeshit and they got one shot to make it pop, so they will naturally lean on compressed storytelling like it's the fulcrum that can be used to push Earth outta orbit.

>>148909741
Honestly I was dreading the family yelling at her for that when her being late had nothing to do with it. So I was happy that didn't happen.

>quirky blue haired lesbian in love with an enby

What an original concept! I love it.

>>148909861
Capeshit doesn't have to be Disney-fied stakes with rapid-fire pacing. I can't even compare this to manga because there are plenty of example of stories that can hook a reader within the 60-page first chapter and still have good pacing, stakes, and character dynamics for the rest of the first book. It's like you have to grade on a curve for American graphic novels.

>>148909525
Would've been a DNF if I were checking it out in a bookstore. Word of mouth won't help this one but maybe the author's clout from his previous show will.

>>148909904
>Capeshit doesn't have to be Disney-fied stakes with rapid-fire pacing.
Capeshit doesn't have to be good or make sales either. They exist because two companies want to publish products featuring their IPs.

People don't want just the reviews of the author's peers because that says literally nothing about the quality of the story. Why the fuck with Dana Terrace or the Bones guy submit anything but praise towards a contemporary who they want to succeed? Critics giving an actual stamp of approval means something to the readers who want to know if it's worth spending money on the book.

Trans or nonbinary as the book states they/them pronous.

>>148909525
Better than expected and its almost entirely because killing off THAT character early on shifts the dynamic tremendously. Brings more emotional gutpunch to everything that happens in the story. The cousin doesn't feel that necessary and they could have handled him way better, but I guess in the next book he'll get a better treatment.
This feels like Ultraman Rising, which is a good movie, but still very much westerners trying to do tokusatsu meets Pixar. Which I know is the only way to get any toku inspired story out there in the U.S, so I get it. It works here and in UR, but it also makes it lack that crazy spice found in toku movies and shows. But as a whole, its good. The only glaring flaw I find is the mother taking his kids to battle and possibly DIE, but I guess that applies to every hero story with children being superheroes. There is no actual excuse as to why parents would let their children fight criminals and risk their lives before they even graduate, you just gotta ignore that part.

>>148910458
That scene alone swayed me away from this girl boss crap

Thanks OP
>>148909525
It's by the numbers, and while that might have worked for people unfamiliar with how by the numbers sentai generally is, but it's also very generic in every other way too, which is pretty disappointing
But it is the pilot, so if they're doing it just to establish how sentai generally works only to kick it out from under readers later, and considering the obvious twist of the aliens and original family doing all this for immoral purposes, I have a good feeling that's how it'll go down, but I won't hold my breath for them to take it in an actually interesting direction since deconstruction/reconstruction has its own host of cliches to deal with and this feels like they're going for a very specific teenager/Disney type market that won't care for that shit
At least the girls are cute, though is it GIF or JIF?

Not something I'd ever buy but I'll probably check out the next /co/ story time at least

>>148909525
>What did you think of it?
It's a henshin hero inspired series with no actual ideas for the genre. Every bit of potential for powers, tech and monsters was made as generic and shallow as possible to prioritize melodrama. They didn't even bother to use a motif that allowed heroes to have their own twist.


The action "tries" but is still amateurish in its clusmy disjointed attempts at being dynamic. Enemies will just stand there huddled together doing nothing while the heroes pull off a move that makes zero sense.

The story makes less sense than the preview established. At first it seemed like it was exclusively family that were recruited to be troopers which would explain why someone would be irresponsible enough to use actual small children in combat. But there are other branches with full grown adults available. Which makes the whole plot feel stupid.

All in all its a C- toku story

Side rant... Every lame poser western take on Tokusatsu heroes has them fight kaiju, but actual series like Super sentai and Kamen rider fight KAIJIN. They fight intelligent humanoids that can challenge them as warriors and often have their own arcs

A lot of toku comics and cartoons inspired by toku superhero shows feel very shallow, honestly.

Yeah, unless it's Ryuki where all the monsters are mindless beasts that snatch people through mirrors and eat them. I don't even know if I can call Ryuga a mirror monster since he's just a mirror clone of Shinji with an EVIL twist.

>>148908223
>Fearsome aliens became as ordinary as an earthquake or tornado.
But the difference is we understand how natural disasters work because it would be retarded not to research where they come from. The fact that these creatures where able to get to earth but display no other signs of intelligence, technology or communication makes it fucking obvious something else is behind them and there's literally one other thing that could be a suspect.

>>148917202

The proper way of doing that scene is to cluster all the speech bubbles into a single panel of the family beating up monsters, yes.

Nice one OP

I read Family Force V for the PLOT

>>148908208
Is it pronounced Giffany or Jiffany?

>>148917202
It seems like a lot of their society has been co-opted by the Moon Warriors/Computer since you can see their logo on all sorts of shit, so they might be suppressing and manipulating the public to keep people from thinking about it too hard
Which would make an okay, if still pretty obvious twist, but if they lean into that stuff they might be able to make it interesting
Though I might be biased when it comes to meta and sentai, I really loved Akibaranger and After V and all those shows built around that stuff

IIRC a journalist in real life exposed the fucked up radiation experiments done by the United States during the Cold War in a series of articles. Revealing government activities is considered treason no matter how wrong it is but journalists still look into things. It is not weird that there are people trying to find the identity of the Moon Troopers.

>>148909525
B-, I didn't hate it, but I have my qualms which I will now list.
>Secret Identity
The Moon Troopers having a secret identity makes so little sense. They aren't fighting criminals, they aren't throwing anybody in prison who would then break out. They're fighting Kaiju that they just fucking murder and that's it. There's no retribution from the (seemingly mindless) monsters coming, you're literally backed by the government (who already know your identity), why aren't you public with it? Only way I can see them taking it is "Moon Computer said so to isolate them from their peers for the experiment." but that's just writing the story for him.
>Plan to Uncover Secret Identities
Like the anon above me said, it would be quite literally illegal to publish their identities. If we're going with them being government-protected, then at best you're looking at dumping it anonymously online. Through a publication? Egged on by her editor? What the FUCK are you on about, that place gets shutdown in an hour from the scandal.
>Last Fight
I didn't hate Maise taking control for her plan, but Daichi should've 100% been controlling the big mech. From both a standpoint of them coming to understand each other (and share that responsibility) and the standpoint of he's the only one who's probably seen the fucking thing even fused since Maise already fucked it up once. He should've been in control and calling the shots with some nicer tone or something. That was a missed character moment in my mind.

But otherwise, yeah, it was serviceable. The civvie friends get way too much of a backseat outside of mystery meat crush who has the B plot but that's on them shoving as much into the book as they could, so I get it. Thanks for the storytime, OP and good on Matt for making something OK.

>>148909525
I rate it 9/10. Interesting premise, cool casts, I love the mom, Anne and Marcy expies are so cute, and the monsters designs look badass.

>>148924050
Seems retarded to try to bank on it getting her money and saving her career when journalists normally put the money and career to the side to do that kind of "illegal" reporting. Those journalists are putting their careers on the line to cover a forbidden topic for the sake of journalistic integrity, which is basically the opposite of what Citialli's mom is doing. She's being presented as someone desperate for a big story that will sell in order to KEEP her career. It's shown that the Troopers are on good terms with like everyone so revealing their identities would not only be not allowed but would also only bring harm to the Troopers unlike the uncovering of a corrupt truth like your Cold War example.

>>148908502
I like how it keeps reverting to Matt Braly's style for gags.

>>148909525
Pacing is the biggest issue besides the boring characters. Way too fast, especially at the end where the friend discovers her identity, she goes "don't tell anyone", and the story quickly goes into maximum overdrive to wrap everything up. Tragedy and drama is all about how it's executed. People can yap all they want about how there were actual stakes because the dad died and how it's supposed to be sad because there are close up panels of the characters' stressed faces and them crying, but if the execution's shit the feelings won't land.

Especially when there's no reason for anyone to even know they're humans at all. Just say they're androids or humanoid aliens if you don't want to reveal who they really are.

Where is the lewds of the mom?

>Japanese guy to be the most rotten californian banana imaginable
This was the biggest miss for me. Japanese people can have egos and will bully others but not like a stereotypical American rival character. The lack cultural tension and exploration in this shows the "diversity" in these types of comics is as deep as a puddle, it's all surface-level dressing done by American (with a capital A) writers.

I finally figured out what it is about this story that bothers me so much. And it's the fact that these creatures would've slaughtered thousands of innocent people and ruined countless other lives through collateral damage over the 60 years they've been around. But this bitch can't be bothered to care about her job ensuring the safety of millions of people until it affected her personally. It would be the same as someone with the magical ability to stop tornadoes complaining that it cuts into their twitch streaming career.
She is the stereotypical self centered LA nepobaby being presented as a hero.

>Japanese people can have egos and will bully others but not like a stereotypical American rival character
So how do Japanese people bully others then? You want the character to pull out a blade or something?

A Japanese fob wouldn't be that combination of confrontational, straightforward, and grandstanding, especially one who's been a lapdog to a family clan his whole life.

In a time where Pen Ward and Alex Hirsch each struggle to get a new show to last more than one season, or where JG Quintel gets his second show mistreated and ultimately finds himself having to dig up his first series from 10+ years ago, I admire how proactive Braly's been just these last couple of years. As Amphibia was wrapping, he already made the jump to developing an original movie AND an original graphic novel series. It's very cool to see him experiment in so many different formats and being rewarded for it.

So while Rebecca Sugar stays begging for another SU revival, I hope Braly puts Amphibia to rest after Strange Voyage. I'd rather see some new concepts from people who worked on an older beloved series than a forced attempt at keeping said beloved series adding more and more story forever. No. We do NOT need to revisit the Calamity Trio and introduce some new way Anne can physically reunite with the Plantars. Grow up and let it REST.

>>148940067
Eh, I think as long as Disney asks for more, Matt should give him more. It would let him continue to do original stuff on the side. Artist has gotta eat you know.

>>148940067
Well, Rebecca is having a new music album coming soon.

>>148940323
True, I do love how she's developed as a musician and is making studio albums. Rebecca Sugar always felt like the most Artsy animation showrunner out there, one who truly never lost her love for the beauty of creation even after getting disillusioned by company politics, studio censorship, and executive interference.

Still, as far as her non-musical writing goes, I'd rather see something NEW from her as opposed to MORE STEVEN UNIVERSE, AGAIN. I respect Sugar's wishes if she really does have ideas for that franchise, but I personally feel no desire to learn of the Diamonds' origins or whatever. The flood of Gumball, Regular Show, and PnF revival announcements is definitely bringing out some of my more anti-IP feelings lately, but I will always champion original ideas before resorting to digging something up that had a nice, lengthy run or a concrete ending. I hate that the Book of Bill website from last year is now making it more likely that Hirsch really may cave one day and go through with an animated Gravity Falls revival, even if just for a one-off special.

Alex is a lost cause at this point.
He will always be an one-hit-wonder at this point.
There's been theories that Rebecca might do some indie stuff.. but I don't know. I hope SU stays dead too.

At least, I'm glad that Dana and Matt (kinda) are making new ideas.
Just hope that Matt stops with Amphibia after Strange Voyage. For TOH, I would love an art book... since the crew art of the show is amazing... but that's it.

>>148940067
Matt Braly is literally carrying the entire animation industry on his back. He's the savior who will save animation after the massive blunder left by Dana Turdrace.

Sure, but Power Rangers, as you just said, it's an adaptation and the only reason retards like you even make a stink about it is because the guy in charge of the power rangers in the US is a litigious asshole that sues anybody that even has a whiff of power rangers similarities.

This is why the "reluctant hero" as a trope needs to be used with caution. Usually the characters that fall under this trope that are well-received are either 1) unsure about their ability to be an effective hero or 2) an anti-hero with a heart of gold asshole.

The end reveal makes not much sense. OK so aliens arrive and attack and other aliens provide you the means of defense. Fine. Then it's revealed it's the same aliens all along. Right.

But saying "the hoomans are becoming too strong?", nigga, you literally gave them the tech that allows them to survive. Take it away, they're pushovers.

Rebecca Sugar is a more competent writer than Dykena Terrace will ever be. I mean, Rebecca Sugar just announced a new Steven Universe show at Annecy, meanwhile nobody gives a shit about Dykena Terrace's failed dead-on-arrival slop after Owl House was canceled.

>>148974192
They're both good writers, so I've no doubt the movie will be great. What I do wonder though is if they'll try pitching it as a hand-drawn animated film, since they're both huge anime nerds

>>148974192
Honestly it could end up being good since they sort of balance out each other's flaws. Sugar's art sense (especially her colors) will make up for Braly's mediocre technical skills in art while Braly is usually stronger than Sugar at the small character to character moments that feel "real". Unfortunately this recent graphic novel makes me doubt Braly's actual strength as a writer (is he only good when it's a comittee/other writers behind the scenes are heavily editing his ideas?) but that's where Sugar can come in since she can be another person at the meeting table.
