Not gonna lie, cautiously excited about this. This was such a HUGE part of my childhood, I will probably go watch it first weekend regardless..well that is assuming it won't be movie forms of whatever it is Nick/Disney are doing with the franchise now.
Unless there were humanoid monsters that the pilots also had to kick-ass, no.
I definitely see the movie doing well in Japan.
Yes, this is real.
Also, to everyone that's going "MMPR is the only good season", go to Netflix and watch Time Force and RPM.

I like that he's embraced all the green ranger stuff but looking over his Instagram is kind of pathetic. Dude is asking people to PayPal him $50 for a piece of green ranger spandex, $50 for autographs, $25 for green ranger beanies and shit...
Saw this there though, very awesome:
This just made my day.
It's been a rough day.

I was in middle school in 1993 when it first aired. Loved it. I'm interested to see how this turns out.
Dinosaur Task Force Zyuranger is the best Japanese Sentai in my opinion. Screw the new emo stuff.
lovely ladies

It's being produced by Michael Bay.
It will still be better than Teenage Alien Ninja Shreks in the end.
Sadly, it is an official Nick video.
Power Rangers New Powers for life!
Is it sad that I managed to recognize the live-action Space Battleship Yamato in that fan-made trailer?

The current sentai is about rainbows and trains.
Also, I hope you're watching the new Abaranger subs.
And the one before that was about samba-dancing dinosaurs.
I don't know how you can read emo anything from Sentai.

Maybe if you take a few scenes from Liveman and early Ohranger out of context.

Ditto.
I hope they use the actual suits. Those PVC movie suits looked horrendous. Too bad it's MMPR again though; the ghost of Zyuranger never seems to die.
It never left.

We can all thank Andy Dwyer

LOL at people thinking Power Rangers is somehow better than Pacific Rim.
Ah yes RPM was after I gave up on PR but I went back and watched it and it was seriously a good season.

Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Pretty much this. His Facebook page has the email address of one of the producers on it for his fans to plug him for casting. I want to see him and Walter Emanuel Jones.
Saban bought it back a few years ago, I don't thing Disney has anything to do with this.

Unless it is a health mix of Iron Man, Pacfic Rim and transformers, no interest. At all.
There is no cotton picking excuse why power rangers is as god awfully bad as it was in the 90's. Hell its practically its gimmick.
That show should of grown up (tech and action wise, it still could of kept the same themes) 10 years ago. How its producers are still making money off the same low budget, shitty acted formula is the television equivalent of the great train robbery.
Even the fucking martial art choreography is fucking awful.
When we were kids we didn't have much other options, but to push out this shit to today's kids is nothing short of a disgrace.
I'm convinced the main audience of power rangers are basement dwelling 30 something's drunk with nostalgia. That's why old tired ass out of shape Tommy keeps coming back every couple years. Its embarassing.

Should have
Pacific Rim's human stuff was mostly just weird. So yes, I'll put PR over it on that part. But PR jaeger stuff was pretty good though.

Eh, I liked them but with modern technology they'd be much better.

Power Rangers only exists by virtue of its Japanese counterpart, Super Sentai, existing. And Super Sentai is produced on a low budget because its market is Japanese children. A far smaller market than would be required for the budget you seem to think it needs.
Yeah, Power Rangers has been really poor compared to other children's shows. While the source material lots of times goes out of it's way to deliver interesting material, characters, and storylines; Power Rangers seems to be stuck in a rote "hey, it's a kids show, just have the characters say puns and call it a day".
Compare PR Samurai and Megaforce to Legend of Korra, and it's night and day.
It's actually mostly kids (and in the case of Super Sentai, women too).
Grown males are the smallest audience for these shows, although they are usually what you see in Western conventions (which obviously attract that demographic). Tommy keeps coming back because for some reason they keep trying to pander to those who saw MMPR when kids; which is really stupid. Also, the guy's actor is insane and has nothing better to do.
Depends on who's directing.

Look at every children's TV show that's had a modern update. Even if you hated the animation style, the new characters or the reskinned returning ones...you cannot deny that each show is a drastic improvement over its original incarnation technically and from a purely visual point of view.
Then we have power rangers..which over 20+ years has been exactly the same shit with different costumes. We are now at the point where cosplays of the shows characters are actually made to a higher standard than the shows themselves.
What makes this even worse is far as I can tell, power rangers has never come off air. There seems to be a new season/version each year.
The two shows should of gone on their separate paths a long time ago. The western market is not the Japanese one. The show is a joke.

bad gameplay lol
Again, go tell Toei that Super Sentai needs a drastically higher budget despite serving a market that is exponentially smaller than the American market. PR can't improve until Super Sentai does, and Super Sentai simply doesn't pull in enough money to justify the changes you seek. It pulls in a lot, yes, but not enough to double or even triple the budget of a 52-episode per year show.

They can't go their separate ways. Anywhere from 50 to 80% of every episode of Power Rangers is comprised of re-dubbed Japanese footage. Producing their own show completely independent of Super Sentai would be prohibitively expensive, especially for notorious cheapskate Haim Saban.

Makes me wonder,
When MMPR was at it largest in America how does that compare to Sentai at its largest?
Huh? The show uses the same formula, but each show is wildly different in story and themes. You have detective shows, sci-fi shows, fantasy shows, comedy shows, and serious post-apocalyptic shows all using the same premise of multi-colored superheroes with giant robots. That is a lot better than just reskinning the same characters from older incarnations, because you're always getting new stuff; instead of the same Ninja Turtles fighting the same villains of always.
That's true for almost any movie and show.
It reinventing itself each year is what makes it stay fresh and alive (and thrive). It went off the air for one year though, but other than that, it's been on TV somewhere in the world ever since 1975.
And yet, nothing over the history of the American version suggests it needs a higher budget to satisfy the needs of its market.
If there were an audience demanding a much higher budget Power Rangers, someone would have stepped in to serve in. However, that audience doesn't exist.

So like which of the Power Ranger series share the same universe?
I know at least MMPR to Lost Galaxy are all the same universe.

The human parts in Pacific Rim is Shakespeare compared to Power Rangers.

Before Saban bought back the series, it was pretty much the same universe (depends on who you ask for RPM).

I need a damn Power Rangers timeline.
It's honestly not worth thinking about. I went wiki surfing for this info one day, and the connections between each series are basically an afterthought.
