Power Rangers Netflix Reboot Canceled 

Really sad that there was apparently only one person in the entire company who gives a shit about Power Rangers and he died. The fact that people working on the toyline intentionally sabotaged them to make the franchise worse is very disheartening.

Correction, its not superhero fatigue, its just bad writing

Hasbro: Ends adaptations "Don't worry, reboot is coming!" Also Hasbro: Cancels reboot Can someone else just buy this brand? Seriously. Saban, take it back just to keep it alive. Or just go back to adaptations. Those should be relatively cheaper to produce.

I honestly dont know who else would pick up the show. Who else has the money to dump into power rangers? Netflix saw that there was gonna be 0 return or incentive and that's literally how every owner of power rangers tends to feel after a while.

Power rangers is just not having great news lately. It's a big enough franchise you would think this wouldn't be such an issue to make money.

This is why adapting another Sentai would have done Hasbro some good because they could still be working on a reboot and shopping it around yet also have the brand still on shelves.

Glad the reboot is dead. No mighty morphin version please. Just get back the adaptions.

Oh, thank god. Honestly, it sounded terrible. It sounded like they were ripping the soul out of it, to make it like every other Netflix show, which barely lasts half a decade. Seeing as there's a shared history - why not Marvel? What if Marvel took it on and embraced what it is, while grounding it in some sort of believable reality.

If they’re not doing anything with Power Rangers then Hasbro should just give Shout the green light to proceed with releasing Super Sentai. There’s probably money to be made doing that.

I am still in the camp that Hasbro should have stay adapting Sentai for more years until they learned what should and shouldn’t do if they want to make their own thing. Now…Nah, let the brand have a “Kamen Rider Death”.

I rather it be cancelled than have another MMPR. I grew up with MMPR, but I hate how much MMPR project and toys. There are so many rangers team, why keep going back to MMPR?

I just got my own article out covering this! I ended up aligning it with how Netflix’s relationship with He-Man turned out

It sucks that companies will just juggle a 30+ year franchise like it's a hot potato... The thing I really don't like is there isn't even a home for all the shows anymore. Netflix used to have EVERY season, but now just MMPR and a couple recent ones. I want a streaming home for the franchise again, to at least allow for some views and potential growth. All the seasons, the 3 movies, the special, etc. I want more in the future, but for now, we seriously just need a place to go to watch what already exists.

Feels like Hasbro never gave it the chance to be a priority. Really, Hollywood in general just doesn’t see this franchise able to go anywhere. Such a shame.

It should go on hiatus for at least a decade. I mean I would suggest maybe Max to adapt the comic universe into a animated show, but even Max/WBD are fumbling with their content. What needs to happen is these "Entertainment" corporations need to either demote or fire their current CEOs. Majority are profit driven and it's negatively impacting the current movies and shows. They need people who can balance the business and the entertainment sides of these projects.

Every time i look at this franchise from an outsider perspective i wonder how it even lasted this long. So many times it has "died" or almost died, it's amazing it's even still alive. How many franchises have survived like that.

I hope they find the right people, even if they have to animated

ATLEAST THEY CAN GO BACK TO SENTAI ADAPTATIONS NOW!

SIGH..... If only TV execs took Power Rangers & kids shows more seriously sooner.....then maybe we wouldn't be in the ruts we're in now.

Hasbro should be hands off with the power rangers brand until they rebound financially and get it together. Before releasing any projects. I don't what TV network would accept power rangers as part of their line up. People should understand that no company is perfect.

For now, we should let Power Rangers rest in peace until something appears that’s worth talking about again.

Wow, I never truly expected this, but weirdly we didn’t get enough news on the reboot as of late so it was bound to happen sooner or later.

This is great news because the last thing PR needs is another lack luster reboot. They do it every season and its only made the franchise less popular over the years. They need to do some animated adaptations of the Boom! Studios comics and create a new generation of younger fans for once. Eventually, they can do a live action adaptation of those stories and that's when PR will have a chance of reaching a fraction of the popularity they used to have in MMPR or the popularity of the MCU/DCU. Another live action reboot or a Sentai adaptation would be business malpractice.

I think it's fair to say we told you so. The best move now to bring back adaptation series for a few years then alongside it a reboot movie that way all fans are happy. Also to note just cause a series is adapting a sentai doesn't mean it can't do new stuff aswell, look at In Space, Dino Thunder and RPM fan favourites that very different from the sentai but can still say they adapt it well

I'm also surprised by this news. I personally think that Power Rangers should take a few years or even maybe an 10-year hiatus like at this point. I do feel that Power Rangers is having like an uphill battle on how the general public view according to what DOSM said and I personally agree with his statement. This video is very well-said.

Netflix new head and their executives didn't see this IP doing well in their algorithm, sadly. 😢

Guess I’ll just watch the Japanese Sentai if there’s no more PR.

Thank God.

I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this...

Thank you DosmRider for being leveled headed with this story!!! I agree with you 💯!!! I don't think Hasbro spent money to acquire the power rangers franchise just to let it die. All the points you made are vaild and that's what we as fans sometimes forget. For example when movies fail at the box office there are always a number of reasons why that happens. It's never one single reason and that's the same thing here with power rangers. There were a series of unfortunate events that have resulted in this decision. As a power rangers fan I think they should take a break. Years ago I probably would have have said just keep it going but it's clear time is needed to get power rangers back to it's glory days. I have hope someday that the power rangers will return.

Hasbro effectively killed PR faster than Saban and Disney. They disrespected the tv show, toys and brand way more than prior owners. Where are the apologists now?

I believe in the saying, “I can’t miss you if you don’t go away.” Power Rangers major media needs to take a multi-year break. Let the dust settle and see where everything stands in three to five years.

I really think they should have kept the NZ team and main show going after Cosmic Fury while they figured out the reboot stuff. Or even let both go on at the same time for different audiences.

Oh my god , I am so shocked 😂

I’m not surprised but it still sucks that we won’t be getting any new PR for the foreseeable future.

The biggest upset for me about this is that we found out from Tokujay that he was actually contracted to work on the reboot. And if you’ve seen his work on Twitter we could have had amazing ranger suits that are still modern but simple.

they might let the Rights Expire, & Revert it back to Toei.

The best way to rebrand the series is as a bad ass, fun anime

Dosom not trying to be a dick but please tell me how long you have to wait to forget a show that has 30 years of history? You said at the beginning that you try to think about his from an unbiased approach but like 60% of it is not approached that way.

So Josh did recently tweet that the leak he got last July about the PR going on hiatus that he got further information that “Brian Goldner’s purchase of the brand & eOne apparently was done without consulting R&D. The company never wanted Power Rangers.” So yeah that alone pretty much confirms Hasbro never wanted Power Rangers. Does that mean they won’t still work on it? No but it does confirm what a lot of fans say that Hasbro upper management never cared about the brand. They only worked on it because their president at the time bought it without telling them. And since he died they have no reason in themselves to invest in it. Which is why they’re just outsourcing it.

I'm glad that the Netflix PR series is canceled. I don't trust Hasbro.

Let's face it, guys. Nobody wanted a reboot to begin with. In fact, Hasbro should not have messed with tradition in the first place and kept adapting Sentai series.

If they're doing another streaming platform, ik some people would suggest Paramount+, but it hasn't been that well-received compared to other streaming platforms. Not to mention that Transformers Earthspark did poorly on there, too. I guess regular RU-vid premieres would work even if it's to test the waters?

I'd rather them just sell the IP at this point but they make money off of licensing it out so it won't happen.

The thumbnail gives me the idea for a zombie series. The original MMPR was infected with a plage so powerful that it was forbidden to use by the ancient evil Masters. Zedd uses it, thinking he can control it. However, he can control the virus doesn't just infect the team, but the world as well. The zombie Rangers have access to their martial arts and weapons, along with a baseline intelligent. Zordon has no choice but to form a secondary team using new dinosaurs to retrieve the power coins of the zombie rangers. Bulk and Skull were chosen (getting their comic suits and zords) A leader based off the Green Ranger was chosen, given the Grey suit and gold armour, given the mighty Spinosaurus, alonf with brontosaurus and stegosaurus Rangers. Their task track down the original team and take back their coins to stop a potential grid contamination.

Really great thoughts on the matter. Looking forward to the next stage, hopefully whatever eventually is coming down the road is amazing!!

I'm ok with this.

Wait WHAT NOOOO THIS CANT BE!!!

I am actually interested in seeing an animated power ranger series. Maybe they could adapt elements from the Boom! Studio comics. Its surprisingly odd that super sentai and power rangers haven't delved into animation. I feel like the IP is big enough they could find some success in it. Plus, the flexibility animation provides would benefit the series.

GLAD THAT NETFLIX WON'T RUIN ANOTHER FRANCHISE/SERIES!

I think this should be a good sign so that the Dairangers and Kyurangers can get proper Power Rangers season adaptation along with the Super Sentai shows that got skipped from being adapted as Power Rangers seasons before Ryusoulger: ToQger, Zyuohger and Lupinranger VS Patranger.

Power Rangers 1993-2023 The party is over. Only way they could save this show is maybe go complete animation.

not sure who would take over after netflix

Wouldn't argue if they just go back to adaptations.

Someone call Dreamworks. Let the Voltron team have at it.

Maybe Discovery Family would air Power Rangers shows, including Cosmic Fury.

can't wait to see the concept leaks for the reboot!

I’m not going to lie, I was really looking forward to some original PR content that was gonna be a PG13 format. I don’t think their plan for it sounded very good in my opinion, but I was still looking forward to something new. I guess it’s back to rewatching the Disney era.

That means no Reunion Specials! with the other past Power Rangers Seasons

Honestly it really seemed like Hasbro was banking on the reboot to Kickstart the brand again. I feel like they are likely just gonna take the reboot and give it to a different distributor. The thing is, if they go straight to streaming it will likely die or not work. Or be like Once and Always, non hard core fans watch and forget about it. I feel like the best thing to do is give us a small MMPR animated series (Maybe something like the GO GO run, just something that takes ideas from the original but isn't just the live action show animated) to be like Invincible or Voltron. If it doesn't take off it's just a one of and we can start again. If it's actually well written and not 90s cheese, maybe people will watch and maybe want more. Once we have an animated series that actually does well, then we can slowly start a live action product. We don't want PR to be the next DCEU.

Once this Guy(Who's Saban's Friend) Died, Power Rangers is now a Dead Brand, Resorting to MMPR Merchandise & Memberberries.

If someone big could hop on to produce an MMPR Reboot film the same way Seth Rogen did I think it'd have better legs to stand on

if only the guy who bought it was still with us

Only way to watch Sentai now is to fly to Japan 😢

Yeah, I guess they took off the worst of the chains, but at best they only had Dino Fury and Cosmic Fury-but maybe just Cosmic Fury at worst. Since Cosmic Fury was only 10 episodes, it would only make sense to ditch what held them back the most and not change the tone much otherwise

like I said before, they should have just continued with the adaptations instead of ending it after cosmic fury.

I hope this franchise gets the love and care it deserves

I hope that the power rangers reboot finds a new home

So this is basically the KOTOR Remake of PR?

They need sort it out with power rangers and also kamen rider as well they need adaptation for Kamen Rider in US

Hasbro needs to continue/finish Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury.

Now what?

Damn dude u went on rant kinda and went off topic in a way wow

MMPH! Dang it dude. We're not getting Power Rangers' all this year and now we might have to wait longer. I'm a bit bitter about that.

So the power rangers reboot is cancelled so what's going to happen next

I think it’s for the best that they canceled the Netflix reboot.

I’m kinda glad that this version of the show didn’t come to fruition. I feel like the direction that the show was rumored to go would’ve only set it up for failure.

I think they should let it lie and come back with some specials before doing a "reboot" I mean, they left so much open. They should just go back to the same time line but it set out in space on a earth like planet. Do it as a reboot kind of thing, keeping it contained but also give it a little cross over. Like King Ohger did. It was be so easy to do SPA, Terra venture, aquartar. Saying any of them visited this planet or did something that ticked the main villian off would be easy plot. I get that the American audience probably doesn't like the style of comedy/ serious balance super sentai. But i think it would still work for both new and old fans.

Future is anime

Maybe now, Paramount and Viacom can fix the franchise and make more shows. I mean, it's logical.

I called this from the start but got hounded by people saying there was definitely a reboot. Every bit of Hasbro’s actions suggested they weren’t actually doing one.

I’d rather someone just buy both Power Rangers and Ghostbusters from Hasbro. -1st time in 30 years where I can’t find any Power Rangers merch at stores at all. Many have stopped carrying it. -Last 5 seasons never made it to DVD even during their 30th Anniversary or to honor the end of the series. No big multi season Boxset for the 30th no complete season box sets, no One and Always official DVD yet other Netflix specials and South Park Paramount + specials came to dvd but nothing for Power Rangers. -Short printed the Master Morpher as a very Limited One-and-Done when it was the most requested and anticipated toy for the most iconic Ranger that served as the face of their franchise most of those 30 years. Item was made to honor his legacy yet not all of his fans could get one. Preorders sold out immediately and they went into the Christmas Holiday Season as a Toy Company that was sleeping on making more of a toy that was highly in demand and yet they didn’t stock them at Walmart, Target, Amazon, GameStop, etc. it was Hasbro Pulse exclusive and they never restocked it even during their Anniversary. -Never made a Green Ranger Lightning Collection Helmet, the last of the Mighty Morphin weapons, helmets, and Morphers. Could’ve done the Death Ranger to pair with the Omega Ranger set they did or Tommy’s Green Ranger V2 or Matt’s Green Ranger but nah. They sat on multiple things that would sell and slept on em. -Killed off the show, killed off the selfie series, killed off the Lightning Collection, killed off the reboot, killed off the physical media, killed off any current comic deals. Pretty much dismantled Power Rangers piece by piece. If they have no real interest in the brand I wish they’d sell it. Same goes for Ghostbusters. No Plasma Series toys for Frozen Empire? New movie no Garraka main new villain toys? Nothing really for the 40th Anniversary. No selfie series, plasma series, 40th merch, nothing for Ghostbusters day, no new Ultimate Edition Movie Combo box, and hardly did anything for Frozen Empire. There’s a new cartoon in the works that still hasn’t been given a trailer or leak or anything. When a toy company doesn’t want to make toys for its properties maybe it’s time to give them to someone who will.

I KNOW they must try an animated Drakkon Story in the vibe of INvincible and a kid cartoon , that would help them ALOT

Holy shit why

Hasbro literally made it gay and put a chick in it...that's what Power Rangers has become...a former boy brand is getting destroyed by the DEI cult.

Perhaps for the best Now im off to not tell the difference between optimistic and stupidity

GOOD THAT IT GOT CANCELLED BECAUSE IT WAS WOKE!

Very cool video mister dosmrider

I think if the seasons weren’t mid/bad for the past 13ish years. We haven’t gotten ANY season since samurai that really shot up the show in popularity and it’ll never recover

Love the Buffy reference.

Personally, I am convinced that an animated series would be the optimal solution. Let's be honest, folks - after 30 seasons and 3 movies, it becomes really difficult to keep the essence and success of the series. It's time for a change.

I mean they could keep the the show going as it is now with sentai adaptations or just something with MMPR and yeah that would be the safe option and it could likely just chug along like that heck that's what Saban was doing which makes it more ironic people complaining about Hasbro and yet back Saban and bandai had the franchise people complained about how they handled it. And as for Disney they made it very clear they dadn't give a crap about PR by the end heck the last idea they had was redo some Mighty Morphin with dumb comic effects yet people seem to forget that plus with how Disney is these days I hope they stay far away from power rangers. But on a less ranty note the best thing I could see it is do an animated series of ether the comics or something based on Might Morphin since as much as fans we may not like to admit it MMPR is just what most people think of when they think of Power Rangers. Sentai adaptations could also work though again that would just be the show coasting along and not getting any bigger as weather we like it or not PR as it is now is a very niche show. I'm possive Hasbro does want the franchise the grow (Otherwise why would they by it and they are a company so they need to make money somehow) but they are still trying to figure out how to get there, Honestly an animated series of ether the comics or something based on Might Morphin along side the Playmates toys is likely going to be the best way forward atleast for the time being that's my two cents anyway,

LOL MUST BE A TUESDAY!

Ok, don't be afraid, this is a level headed comment. Personally & ideally I hope Hasbro finds a new partner soon & once found, they should go back to adapt sentai seasons, at least all the way up to Zenkaiger &/or until they get a new script & green light a new PR movie/series. As far as I'm concerned PR is NOT dead! Case in point, the comics the games etc. I would have more to say but it might end up as a rant. So I hope this was a pleasant comment to read.

that title I’m happy about

oh no what a shock who didn't see this coming "OBVIOUS SARCSASM"

If there’s one company that Hasbro can shop the potential reboot, my top choice would have to be Amazon Prime Video since they have done great with smaller superhero franchises like The Boys and Invincible.

Notification Squad! I can’t believe Netflix would do this after Once & Always and Cosmic Furt last year. But just find a promising new partner before I lose my patience

probably they gonna move to Prime Video is very possible

They need to find the guys who made "The Expanse", and go from there.
