How long has the t-Rex had eye lasers?!

 

[darkwing-buck]

Twitch gonna show the 95' flick?

 

[WillyFive]

Did you guys talk about the zyu2 footage that saban ruined for season 2 that was lost forver ubtil a poduction guy leaked the never before seen uncut footage before?

I remember seeing the original Zyu2 footage that was sent over, it was kinda baffling what Saban chose to do with it, despite Toei making it just for them.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I like how this show is written around the Japanese footage.

40 minutes worth of uncut Zyu2 footage.
There's no audio, but that's because it was meant to be dubbed over by PR.
There's some parts that make you wonder if Toei understood TV standards in the states, like the Rangers getting crucified, and a monster flipping the bird.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

And we never saw it ever again? Maybe...

 

[Effect]

I think they just had too much merchandising based on the old designs going on to make the switch at that point. I mean, they had anything from coloring books to lunchboxes with these suits on them. It would have instantly made all of that obsolete.

That's a good point. Those designs were everywhere for a long time. It would have been a massive self inflicted wound had they changed the designs.

Very interesting, thanks!!! So Toei made this specifically for Power Rangers? Very very interesting.

Here we go!

 

[Kaizer]

HYPE

 

[spindashing]

Zordon giggling nearly gave me a heart attack

 

[Conrad Link]

Smug Zordon LOL.

 

[darkwing-buck]

NEW TO- I MEAN NEW ZORDS!

 

[Santiako]

These Thunderzords are so crap that I forgot they existed.

 

[Geist-]

Thunderzords were so fucking bad. But at least the Megathunderzord looks cool.

 

[Hubbl3]

Oh man, I remember watching this episode with my brother when it aired. We were both like:

The only cool one was the dragon...

 

[Miggy]

Holy shit that sword

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Just in time for Season 2. Still bugged at the Thunder Megazord's eyes light up 5 times over the course of the fight.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Samurai Jack zord

 

[Emperor_EL]

CG T Rex looked goofy as fuck to me as a kid, now it's just hilarious

 

[spindashing]

PRO GENJI

 

[ramparter]

These Thunderzords are so crap that I forgot they existed.

The zords were crap but thunder megazord was probably the best, really solid design.

 

[Jezan]

Thunderzords are fucking ace!

I think my favorite zords ever. But I'm glad they didn't use the shitty Dairanger suits, though White looks good

 

[ZeroGravity]

THE DRAGON BECOMES ME

 

[Arkeband]

I used to have the Mega Thunderzord (Thunder Megazord?) toy with all of the different pieces - AND the White Tigerzord, it was dope as fuck.

The pacing and intensity of that sequence is fantastic, especially compared to the Jason vs Tommy one.

That's a good point. Those designs were everywhere for a long time. It would have been a massive self inflicted wound had they changed the designs.

On the other hand, getting the public accustomed to yearly costume changes during the fad years could have made the fad kept going farther instead of dissipating when they finally adopted the practice in the late 90's.

 

[redmetal86]

I love that it comes with a sheath.

 

[grumpy]

"I NEED HEALING"

 

[BatDan]

Thunderzords make more sense in Dairanger

 

[Defuser]

"I'm sorry you failed"

Goddamn Goldar that was fucking savage to say that to your emperor.

 

[TheChits]

Samurai Jack zord

Imagine the interactions Aku and Zedd would have lol

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

RIP Dragonzord

 

[cordy]

Tommy's gone through this whole "well this is the last time-" shit like every other episode now.

 

[grumpy]

No more stock Dragonzord footage
Tommy afk

 

[spindashing]

ALL THE LAUGHS

 

[ramparter]

So basically another season of failed attempts against the thunderzords.

Spoiler

Though we lose green ranger, we get white ranger, and three actors change in the process.

 

[Miggy]

LMAO Zordon

 

[Geist-]

I forgot how dorky Zordon was.

 

[cordy]

Zordon clowning on Rita was too damn ruthless lol.

 

[itwasTuesday]

hahahhaha dorkdon

 

[Conrad Link]

Wow at that ending, lol Zordon,

 

[Frumix]

Very interesting, thanks!!! So Toei made this specifically for Power Rangers? Very very interesting.

They wrote provisional scripts for potential episodes and shot action scenes based on that. It was consequently mauled and repurposed. It's pretty interesting because this very year, Korea and Japan are making a sequel for one of Sentai shows, Kyoryuger (adapted in the US as Dino Charge). Korea normally just shows Sentai dubbed (but under Power Rangers brand!), but Kyoryuger was so popular they're making a short sequel series with new, Korean cast and modified costumes. Directed by Koichi Sakamoto, who has been action director on Power Rangers for years.

 

[TubbiestPack]

Which season is it when bulk and skull team up with that conspiracy scientist?
