Better question, which Power Rangers OPENING is the best?

>>23461913
Dino Thunder or Turbo.

>>23461913
Zeo. ZEEEEEOOOO POWER ZEEEEOOOO
*mmpr riff*

>>23461913
Zeo, no question.

>Lightsped Rescue
My nigga

Probably In Space and I say this as someone who binged this franchise in his 30s so I have no nostalgia factor at play. It has the most consistently well written episodes with a clear end goal in mind, which at the time was the end of the series, and the music was still done by Ron Wasserman, who has that cool 90s synth vibe to his stuff.

>>23461220 (OP)
Lightspeed or Time Force.

>>23462972
Jay Leno is in that?

>>23461913
Zeo is worth getting the love it's getting
That said, I really enjoy Lost Galaxy's story in the opening theme, and Lightspeed Rescue really pumps you up for it.

Fucking lmao at Lightspeed Rescue being the best at anything besides being the best at being a boring piece of shit

The Power Rangers Prime comic is currently turning one of them into a cocksucker.

>>23461220 (OP)
My top 3 are:
>Zeo
>Time Force
>Ninja Storm

>>23464261
Lightspeed Rescue has one of the best set of zords in the franchise history, and I say this as someone who started with MMPR.
Carter is one of the best red rangers we had, Joel is fun, Chad is as chad, Dana is sweet and Kelsey is peak tomboy material.
Diabolico was a cool villain, the Titanium Ranger plotline was great
LOLing if you're some Disney era fan who defends the slopshow that was the Mystic Force/Operation Overdrive/Jungle Fury era

While not my personal favourite its probably Timeforce. Much more complex character dynamics, willing to touch on more complex moral issues than usual, likeable cast with early roles from some new blood that would go on to become house names and some veterans winding their career down just having fun but still giving it 100%.

Plus the actual end where the villain goes "holy shit i nearly lead my daughter to her death, you know what cuff me boys, i am turning myself in i fucked up" was extremely unique.

>>23461220 (OP)
The one you saw first.

>>23465204
Comics were a mistake.

>>23465204
Are you serious?

>>23465204
What the FUCK

Ninja Storm has it's fans, and I'm sure it's ok, but it's where the franchise died for me. The shift to Disney made it feel way more ironic and belittling of the material. I'm. not saying old PR was edgy serious or lacked campy humor, but the Disney seasons is when it started to feel like the show was aware of how ridiculous it all was. I always got the feeling that Disney didn't just not care about the franchise, but felt the material was beneath them so there's this feeling of disdain for playing it too straight and this need to jangle keys and add goofy humor to undercut things.
It was especially jarring coming off 4 seasons of characters regularly dying or all these melodramatic backstories

They hired this man

>>23465747
The Disney era was pretty good despite the fact that they didn't want it and imo everything except Operation Overdrive was good.

RPM because I saw it right when I was about to get out of Power Rangers, and it was the perfect amount of tongue in cheek and serious for me to really get into it.

>>23465376
Bruce Kalish Disney seasons are all trash and the only people who would defend them are people who only saw them once as a child.

the yellow ranger was hot as fuck in this one.

>>23465764
>those small diamonds
eww, it just shows how narrow the body is

>>23466628
She was my first crush as a kid

The top three that made an impression on me:

1. RPM
2. In Space
3. Time Force

Honorable mention goes to Ninja Storm. I loved the character interactions and humor. Sort of felt like the PR equivalent of Carranger.

>>23464586
I never really liked how it doesn't have a proper hip/waist area

Looking back at Lost Galaxy's finale, I have mixed feelings. It's both incredibly intense and memorable but I also feel like it completely ruins Trakeena's character arc.

>>23466628
she was a midget

>>23466941
Trakeeniot is a different character from Trakeena really. It's weird that the show even tried to pretend it was the same personality as trakeena.

Anyone remember seeing Lost Galaxy Yellow nude in Not Another Teen Movie?

>>23467117
Yeah that was hot

>>23461913
Super Turbo

>>23465747
>this need to jangle keys and add goofy humor to undercut things
This describes the post-Disney era better, the Disney shows might have had more "teenage edge" to their humor and the heroes' personalities, but the stories took themselves seriously enough (for Power Rangers shows, that is).

>>23467028
Remember when the actress backed out for the Lightspeed crossover because for whatever reason the writers decided to make the episode more about some little girl than any of the two teams?

>>23465747
I dunno, with ninja storm it's probably the source material.

it's not the best, but it's definitely a high tier OP. I'm the anon who posted >>23470391 , and if we got the Dan Avidan OP, RPM would absolutely be up in 2nd tier.

>>23461220 (OP)
All of them

Finished watching Jungle Fury. I have severe retarded questions.
Why the fuck the ending is literally shit tier and rushed?
Why there are literally 10 fucking rangers, if I am to count both the lion and the chamaleon?
What were the differences at the ending from Geirangers?

>>23468763
Wasn't that choice made because they wanted to reduce the screentime of the LG actors and thus pay them less? Huge fucking scam if so

>>23471258
I dunno, I got a lot of hate back in the day from calling it an extremely neutered version of Gekiranger, and is one of the reasons I distanced myself from the PR fanbase.

>>23461913
Zeo and the original MMPR even though I feel the latter is extremely overrated and suits keep clinging to it try try milk it for what it's worth. But I've developed a heavy bias and a lot of them to me don't hold a candle to the original Sentai openings. I don't care much for a lot of the sentai shows but they rarely miss with their openings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYe1defOvkM

>>23465764
Can't believe this isn't a fan film. Also I can sort of appreciate what they're doing trying to copy the look of the '95 movie's armored suits with the panel lines, but after decades of MCU-style suits it's kind of an eyesore. Better than the '17 movie at least.

>>23466635
You think that's bad, look what they did to Goldar.

>>23471258
I didn't like that the Spirit Rangers were just... astral projections, or something? Instead of just having the Masters morph into Rangers.

Close up detail of the Red suit. Still not sold on them, but you have to appreciate the level of detailing put into them.

A look at the Evil Space Alien crew from the NinjaKidz thing: Goldar, Zedd, Finster, and Rita. Rita looks like she's based on her "10,000 years ago" outfit from the Boom comics.

>>23478804
goldar more like gutdar

>>23478804

Not muh Rita. Fucking hell, why do the bitch female writers keep self-inserting as her?

>>23478804
I wasn't expecting a perfect 1:1 casting, but they couldn't even attempt to make Rita's twintail horns work? Absolutely shameful.

And Finster... Looks like he could lead a villain faction of his own. Completely missing the point.

>>23476608
>think the boots look too much like tabi
>remember the coins were made by ninjor
Unless I'm wrong, because it looks like something goes over the shin area.

>>23475632
I doubt most end up seeing much, being on the acting side there isn't much reason to besides curiosity, unless the creators really want them to match the JP actors. Especially before the neo-Saban years where you couldn't just pull up the JP season on a bootleg streaming site without torrenting or streaming while it aired in Japan.
There are proabably a few actors who've since sought out their season in it's original Sentai form,but it would be long after they finished shooting. The thing is most of these seasons were produced on fairly brisk schedules, most of them barely remember day-to-day shooting and it all blurs together, and because they're young actors in often their first big roles, they're spending a lot of time hanging out and partying to let off steam, not watching more TV(though a few have mentioned throwing Saturday morning watch parties to watch their seasons)

lol

does someone have a link for Power Rangers Prime issue 8 and 9, cause at GetComics hasn't updated at all despite they are already out now.

>>23479812
>And Finster... Looks like he could lead a villain faction of his own. Completely missing the point.
I wonder if they were intentionally trying to make Finster seem more fearsome or evil, or if it's just a side-effect of them not being able to make a very good Finster suit.

>>23479836
From what TokuJay was saying on Instagram, it sounds like the gloves and boots suffered the most from a lack of time and budget.

>>23481470
>I wonder if they were intentionally trying to make Finster seem more fearsome or evil, or if it's just a side-effect of them not being able to make a very good Finster suit.
didn't the modern comics remake him into a crazy guy who built monsters that killed his family and town?

>>23481474
Kind of, not quite. He made monsters to terrorize people, but this scared his wife and then she accidentally dies during an argument. And realistically, the first half of the concept makes sense, considering he goes on to work with Rita with the goal of global/universal domination.

And now, some Purple and Orange Ranger art, because why not.

Aaand last one. I like how everyone pretty much universally agrees that these designs are fine once you get rid of Bulk's exposed gut and Skull's sagging pants from the original comic.

>>23481373
I heard that Book didn't release those issues on digital. But would resume eventually. My guess is that the sales were so low they decided to try to improve them by discouraging piracy

So unless someone bought a physical copy and scanned each page like the days of old, we're at their mercy

>>23482819
I get that Skull's zord is aping Dino Charge but which show had a Megazord with a face on its crotch? Or was that in an unadapted Sentai?

>>23484171
I think it's going for Wild Force Megazord/Gao King configuration, with the boar tusks set up like the bison's horns

>>23484171
>which show had a Megazord with a face on its crotch?
Just off the top of my head...

>>23481373
Just buy the comics if you enjoy them, jackass

>>23483364
Whatever they or Hasbro do with the series going forward, I really hope that they stop letting old wine aunt hambeasts write Power Rangers.

Talking Megazords. do you think Power Rangers should’ve included Sentient Zords?

>>23486181
Wild Force did

>>23478804

I kind of dig some of these designs. Rita seems to be inspired by the previous movie and some of the comic designs. Goldar looks 50/50 to me. Pretty close to the original but that red frabric mid section needs work. I love finsters redesign, but I have no idea why they gave Zedd those wierd shredder claw things. Makes me wonder if they will use these suits outside of the Ninja kids show as well.

>>23486181
They should’ve, lots of shit was cut from abaranger to dinothunder cause of it.
Best Ranger show was probably Lost Galaxy because of how original it is and a departure from the gingaman theme.

I cannot hate this guy. He seemed to have genuinely enjoyed his time on the show.

>>23483970
Well, first, that Megazord is a fan (re)design (the Baconadon and Featherdactyl Zords never actually get used in the comic), and second, what's wrong with it? It's a pretty basic "one goes on top, one goes on the bottom" Zord combination you might actually see on the show. Boom's Megazords are horrible mishmashes with absolutely no thought put into how they combine that just put random parts everywhere.

>>23487317
When an actual Dragonzord/Thunder Megazord combination should look like this.

None. It's all bastardized western shit produced by a Jew.

>>23483462
>Power Rangers is known for its bright colorful colors
>Adapting Zord footage from a series with 12 different rangers to pick colors from, including more obscure choices like Light Blue, Purple, and Orange
>Hell they give Zayto Ryu Commander's mecha from Kyuranger so they may as well have just made him Purple and made it his official Zord
>Let's give him the most drab shade of beige imaginable and pass it off as "champagne"
>The reason for why he's champagne is that Hasbro didn't want to make a black actor the White Ranger

Every day it all comes back to Saban as to why this franchise is in the shitter.

>>23461913
Wild Force.

>>23465477
Nah, I watched MMPR live, and Samurai is way better. Except in music.
>>23471948
Dumptruck is here.

Some guy on YouTube did an animation with the Thunder Zords and came up with a sort of "Ultra Mega Tigerzord" combination that's kinda cool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb6laxSFZ9g

>>23490616
Horrifying, but kind of cool.

>>23479706
>why do the bitch female writers keep self-inserting as her?
Probably some yas queen mentality.

>>23483970
Those are fanarts and they actually have more thought as a mecha put into it than whatever the fuck is Boom's abominations

>>23485107
>I really hope that they stop letting old wine aunt hambeasts write Power Rangers.
It's fucking embarassing how PR turns into Tumblr-fest even faster than Marvel and DC did in their time. Comic PR is a fucking embarassment nowadays I can't believe I used to think comics is the best offering of the franchise.

Still, pre-Shattered Grid Go Go Power Rangers is peak PR. Shattered Grid ruined everything.

>>23487196
My respect for him is immortalized with how he just constructively criticized everything about the 2017 movie.

>>23487328
I wonder if the filming suits were compatible like that? Probably not.

>>23491872
I always figured the arms and legs were separate from the torso to make it easier for the suit actor to put on/take off, but supposedly taking the suits apart like that in Ninja Quest completely destroyed the Thunder Zord suits, so...

https://x.com/TheComicAwakens/status/1962504220558414140
Thoughts about new cast? Pink is blonde

>>23476608
Five teens with attitude!

>>23491959
IIRC, the shoulder pads are usually attached to the chest piece, so detaching it that way and stuffing the suit full of wires and other crap would damage it. But the rest is fairly modular (pelvic armor, thigh guards, boots, ect.), So they shouldn't be completely irreparable. I'd say it's more the outer wear and tear from the squibs and other battle damage than anything else.

>>23494057
>>23494077
A better pic stolen from Instagram.
Kind of amusing how they're blending the style of the original series with the ethnicities from the 2017 movie. Except for "Zack", who is Hispanic(?) for some reason.

>>23494131
Thanks dude! Also actor identities?

>>23494121
No that scene totally ruined the suits, to the point Toei can no longer use it in Sentai or display it at their Museum. The Red Dragon is the Dairanger rep in those instances. And given they still have the very first robot suit from 1979 still displayable (it can't be worn but its still good enough to show off) and are 25 year old Wild force stuff in the latest Sentai the only logical explaination is that either that one specific suit failed to hold up unlike every other robot suit before and after it, or PR destroyed it during the destruction scene because they didn't think it would ever be needed again

>>23494140
>or PR destroyed it during the destruction scene because they didn't think it would ever be needed again
Which, honestly, is totally Toei's fault. Say what you will about Saban (the studio), but I can't imagine they would've destroyed the suits had Toei explicitly told them "Don't wreck our suits, we want them back eventually."

>>23494257
Saban did that a lot. To the point where Toei started refusing to give them the original props telling them to make their own.

>>23494257
Part of it was short sightedness by Toei. They were still in the one and done part of Sentai. Crossovers wouldn't be a thing for another year and anniversary stuff was rare to the point where the only major production that actually used older suits in any capacity was the theme park short video short shortly before they sent the Dairanger stuff over for PR.

But Saban (and the PR crew in general) does have a general "We own this forever" attitude towards the stuff to the point where they actively cockblocked Toei trying to buy any of it's stuff back during the PR fire sale a year or so back. Presumably Toei had a specific rule about Megazord suits that the PR team couldn't keep or damage them and had to return them when they were done. They did offer the Megazord suit for once and always but the PR team turned them down and opted to CG it.

>>23494134
Sorry, no clue.

>>23494205
Seeing White with a Morpher on his belt is messing with me way more than it should.

>>23494319
He's had before in US made suits. Like the movie one

>>23494205
Say what you will about the suits overall (wtf is going on with the boots), but the White Ranger's shield and belt are a noticeable improvement on those from the movie's suit. I've always thought the movie's shield was too small (trying to make it too much like the Green Ranger's?) and whoever decided the White Ranger should have a white belt should be shot.

>>23494322
And? It looks off every time.

>>23494343
Got to disagree there. Despite the movie shield just being the standard chestpiece with extra shoulder pads, the streamlined proportions where always cooler to me than the original vest style look. Fine in it's original context, but going from the Dragon Shield to that was a major downgrade. I do agree on the belt though. Making it gold would've elevated it to a 11/10 design.

The best MMPR is the movie.
Great suits.
Great music.
Great story.
Great cinematics and CG for the 90s.
"Thanks, Toei, we'll take it from here."
A great demonstration of what Power Rangers could be if not held back.

>>23494205
Jesus fuck, why'd they get a slender rectangular guy be the red?

>>23482831
By far my favorite ranger designs.
Bulk & Skull should have had an entire show for themselves.

>>23461247
>Timeforce is usually considered the best PR show
>it's also the only one that directly adapts the source material besides Wild Force with Gaoranger
Interesting
>>23465666
As cringe as this is, no one reads the comics outside of twitter faggots and they've been losing money on them and everyone involved will be out of a job so it won't even matter in a few months

>>23495710
>Bulk & Skull should have had an entire show for themselves.
Apparently there were plans for that? That's why they got turned into chimps in Turbo. But then it fell through.

>>23482814
>>23482831
These are so fucking bad they're like deviantart furry fanart tier

>>23497038
Well, considering the bodies are just MMPR/Zyuranger suits, this means what you dislike about them are the helmets. So what is it about the helmets that you dislike?

>>23495710
>>23497028
Speaking of those two, who would you say was the worst attempt to emulate them?

>>23478377
I always hated the gold animal symbols they had on toys and in the movie. Doing it like tis is a nice compromise.

>>23498077
Why was that done again? Reminds me of when a lot of old Simpsons merchandise would have Bart wearing a blue shirt.

>>23494205
Ugh. Ew.

Are they ALLERGIC to casting attractive actors and actresses?

The girls are mid or have manjaws.
The men look like smiling dorks. NONE of them look fit or trained in martial arts at all. Lmao wtf is going on with Black? That is Zack's replacement? Is this a joke???

Every single member of the original MMPR cast had martial arts training except Amy Jo Johnson. But she at least was a trained gymnast, and was trained by others to do basic martial arts while filming the show. ALL of them were very fit.

So are we going to get a bunch of wire work like a Chinese drama?

Also wtf is going on with the ethnic ratio of the team? 3 brown Latinos or Mexicans? NO Asians?? No black guy??? What happened to having 1 of every race?

Also those suits look ugly.

>>23498084
Best explanation I can find, is to make them more appealing to kids, so that they could easly tell with animal they represent.

>>23498141
I always thought it was to make them easy to seperate from bootleg/imports, like why Jurassic Park dinos all had that JP tramp stamp even though they didn't in the movie

>>23498159
I think that was also the reason for blue shirt Bart merch that I mentioned.

>>23498169
yeah same idea
I forget if Beavis and Butthead was that or dodging the band tms
the medals suck, but scoring the five NIB for a hundred total as soon as I got zyu raws in the early 00s with no effort was a nice trade off for getting real zyu merch

>>23498084
>Why was that done again?
I think it was to make it obvious that merchandise was specifically MMPR as opposed to Zyuranger.

Someone's custom Lightning Collection Silverback figure and their custom Lightning Collection Goldar repaint.

>>23495772
Fans who say TF is the best PR season should just be watching Sentai, TF is a bastardization of TimeRanger. PR should be western-styled storytelling on top of Japanese designs and fight scenes. RPM is the best and any other answer is wrong (LR's finale are the best two PR episodes though)

>>23499735
Also DC is fun too

>>23498040
Victor and Monty

>>23498084
It was because American superheroes tend to have symbols on their chest, and helps differentiate each Rangers other than their helmet.

>>23499735
Time Force’s casts chemistry also goes along way to making it enjoyable.

>>23499762
This. The very embodiment of copying the basic formula without understanding why it worked the first time.

>>23499735
To be fair, half of what makes Time Force beloved is related to Ransik, who is an original addition.

>>23501865
Save for the clock tower fight, the TF finale is awful, all the characters pull heel-face turns on a dime. Even Judd says he hates TF

>>23487181
Honestly it was a huge missed opportunity to have the characters bonding with their zords. They don’t have to talk, but the Rangers could treat them like giant kaiju-sized pets. Imagine Dragon Zord sensing Tommy is in danger, and comes to his aid without being summoned. Or Conner learning to tame his Zord. All of that would’ve been enjoyable.

>>23499735
I find the lack of Dan Southworth disturbing.

>>23499762
>>23501786
They even tried to copy the theme song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpQmPjUxWSE

>>23502136
>Even Judd says he hates TF
You mean Judd "In the Limelight is my favorite episode" Lynn? You really want to bring his opinion into the discussion?

>>23503212
It would make it more poignant and emotional when they inevitably lose the zords at the end of the season. That's one thing about the seasons as they go on, the zords feel more vestigial and they have no issues destroying or losing them. The zords getting destroyed in DT feels like it happens so fast.

>>23485096
She's hot

>>23504217
Yes, toku should be wacky fun and not melodrama for kids
