Power Rangers is an interesting series. And not just for the fact that it has been going for over 30 years, but it’s the genre it’s under. Tokusatsu is the genre that involves heavy practical effects in a live action format, being very popular over in Japan, originating as theater back in the early 1900s, and after decades being inspired by the likes of King Kong, the 50s and after bought Godzilla, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Spider-Man (surpringly) and of course Super Sentai, which Power Rangers adapts footage from to make its show in the USA, starting in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and beyond, the show has gone from a show to being in video games, Hollywood blockbusters, and video games. And despite the Americanization of the show, it still has its Sentai roots felt with each season, but through the years, less and less footage would be used, where in the latest Power Rangers seasons, there could be episodes that features a minute of Sentai footage. And now that apparently the main show has ended with Cosmic Fury, a series that split American made suits with Japanese zord footage, what comes in the future will not be using the latest and great Sentai series as their bases, they are reinventing the wheel.

I am a firm believer tokusatsu is needed for power rangers because it works well for the story and gives inspiration for newer content creators who are realizing whats true to the show and other things

@davidatchison1793 2 дня назад

It'd be cool it the Power Rangers production created their own original practical effects ala Tokusatsu fx. I wouldn't even mind if they recreated Sentai mechs in the Power Rangers series

@Nerdious_ 2 дня назад

Though Power Rangers has a special place in my heart. They can honestly just, well, not continue... In this Era of streaming and international shows being more widely accessible/accepted; they [Toei] can honestly do what Tsuburaya did with Ultraman in 2019. Start publishing the franchise online with subtitles and hire voice actors for people who don't like subtitles. So many more Ultra fans have been created these last couple years due to this. If Toei just did that, we wouldn't need a western adaptation. In short Western Production isn't bringing that Toku charm and the future is now.

@rizkipratama9707 2 дня назад

From What I heard, Dino Fury/Cosmic Fury Showrunner Simon Bennett said Power Rangers need to separate from Tokusatsu Genre. When I heard that statement, Power Rangers cannot be alive well without this Genre. Even Godzilla based on Tokusatsu Genre. I truly disappointed of West Filmmaker or Showrunner doesn't really explored What Tokusatsu is

At some point in time this whole auction shit is starting to really hurt the fandom because we all grew up with this franchise I don't wanna be one of those people that claims Power Rangers is dead n bullshit I personally want change in the franchise but what Hasbro is doing by selling everything in stock from the show sets everything is fucking crazy they could've at least offer ranger actors props from the show to keep but naw they do this all because they wanna make money it's ridiculous.

@mariosion 3 дня назад

I understand but at the same time, if you buy a franchise for that amount of money and it’s not producing that return on investment, then you have to do what you need to do. Power Rangers is not the money printer it once was. Plus it’s great if some of the props are in the hands of fans instead of being outright destroyed.

I agree with everyone who say Power Rangers has tokusastu in it's DNA. If you're have to explain what that word is you either go on a lengthy tangent about how there's this genre in Japan and these super hero franchisee done in this certain way etc etc or just say two words: Power Rangers. The #1 example of the genre around the world. Much like Rider has Fuuto P.I. and Ultraman had it's animations (that Netflix movie about Ultraman becoming a kaiju's dad was great!) I can't see why Power Rangers couldn't dip it's toes in the animation department. But they have to be conscious of what it is. Even if they do a 100% original non-sentai season, it's gotta be rooted in tokusatsu

Personally I think power rangers can go different but it must contain the aspects of tokusatsu like explosions, special effects and rubber suits. It’s the key gateway of being unique out of many tv action shows. And to answer the comment question of the day, it would rubber monster suits. I always love how creative and bizarre they go with there designs.

@ethanloming001 2 дня назад

Tokusatsu, or Super Sentai, to be exact its literally the lifeblood and birth mother of Power Rangers and Western fans should respect that, Power Rangers has never, ever been superior to Super Sentai, no matter how good the shows are. And it's extremely important cause it's the source material. It's just a shame that Power Rangers are too busy reverse engineering it to make it look good I mean sure they stopped using Sentai footage, but that is exactly what's missing of Power Rangers, the footage its crucial, because it's the unique style of Tokusatsu fight scenes that make Power Rangers look good. And don't argue cause it's like Oh PoWer RAngers is FoR AmErICa blablabla they want oRiGiNaLiTY blablabla well guess what? Power Rangers is never original, it never was, and never will. The only thing I respect about Power Rangers, is that they come up with really good original storylines, especially in the Disney- era. But it's the shame that they stopped doing that after RPM which is where it all went downhill, where Power Rangers to these people I think is merely a quick money grab that doesn't need to put much effort into for the fans. What they need now is a really good screenwriter. And a group of people that really loved Power Rangers and willing to put work into it, to really show fans a masterpiece of proof that Super Sentai and Power Rangers is loved and appreciated.

I think longer episodes with the suits from the most recent super sentai series are the only two things Power Rangers needs. Anything else would just be driving people away.

@ryanpursel102 2 дня назад

I think what Hasbro should do if they want to keep the franchise going is that they need to balance trying something new and keeping tradition at the same time. Like I don't want see another Go Go Power Rangers being slap into the theme song, making the Rangers teenagers. Their are good Power Rangers seasons where the Rangers are not teenagers. The stuff that I don't want to see go away are the stuff that are the faces of Power Rangers. Like the Main Rangers suits looking identical to each other, the Zords, keeping the Red Ranger a guy.

@erikkt.9847 17 часов назад

I agree with almost everything besides keep the red ranger a guy because so far we seen two female red rangers (samurai and cosmic fury) and both were interesting to see, yes samurai was a technicality that Jaden’s older sister was meant to lead the team but wasn’t complete with her training and was too far away to assemble the team together so Jaden took over and as for Amelia was a good example of a red ranger plus in another series (spd) red ranger was a leader rank in a squad so technically anyone who deserved it can be red ranger so if Z would’ve stayed with the team she could’ve risen from yellow to red eventually

@robsonlmfilho 2 дня назад

They should adapt the comics, and not like Marvel does, adapt the comics 1:1, perfectly. Drakkon, Necessary Evil, Omega Rangers, Matt Cook, everthing. They want to exploit MMPR to the end, and it is fine, they're the most charismatic and classic team after all. But the "monster of the week" format should've been abandoned long ago, since Time Force, Dinothunder and SPD. This franchise needs to grow with its fans.

@tokublwhovian 2 дня назад

The “monster of the week” Format has worked for 30 years, longer with Super Sentai. So no, said format doesn’t need to be abandoned. That partly what is why it’s liked. While I get you and others are desperate for it to be Snyder-like, everything doesn’t need to be dark.

@Jb3.99 2 дня назад

Tokusatsu will always be important to power rangers but at the same time I don't think franchise should necessarily be beholden to it just because that's how it's always been done, in my opinion the problem with both once and always and cosmic fury was that neither were long enough and both felt rushed but were good, once and always visually is exactly what I'd want from a purely American produced reboot or season 31 just obviously with new characters, suits, zords, etc

@rangerreview1780 12 часов назад

What really will prove it. Is the showrunners. If they don't get it. That will be the failure. Because not adapting the footage. Isn't really the issue. They'll have 100% control over everything. But that means they have to make everything. Double edge sword. PR has to always follow Toku. Since that's what makes PR, PR. If they don't. The show will just be another superhero show copying Iron Man. You want to make the Megazord fights all CGI, fine. Rescue Force and Fire did that. Use more stylized CGI, fine. But those things don't make a good story. That is what's needed the most.

@erikkt.9847 17 часов назад

I understand wanting to take power rangers to a fresh new place in the series but to erase the whole history that made the series what it is and that we love isn’t gonna do well as they expected, if anything they should take the zords and suits from tokusatsu and base plot and make their own spin on the series for example lupin ranger vs pattan ranger (hope I spell it right) which basically is a cops vs thieves concept that can potentially translate pretty well to the American audience

With that same amount of budget and similar writing. Netflix rejected that idea, and hasbro was going to be looking for a new partner, but many doubt that hasbro would even do that.

With King Ohger being a thing, a middle ground option would definitely be the best direction. That said PR needs Toku, much like how Thunderbirds needs Supermarionation or Muppets needing, Muppets. Other wise you might as well watch a generic sci fi superhero show made by someone else. Anyway as long as PR keeps its identity as to what made it special, change is welcome. Team Middle ground is where I stand on the subject/matter.

@MegaSceptile99 2 дня назад

I dont think Power Rangers needs to keep adapting Sentai, but it needs to keep some things from it to heart. The style Sentai, and by extension Power Rangers, has with filming lend to its identity and could help it stand out with the superhero genre being as it is, with Marvel and DC fatigue, and people not responding to the 2017 movie. If they have good writing, storytelling, and designs, they could make something great. I like how you brought up KingOhger because it's a great example at this. Another thing they should take into heart is the designs. Sentai's designs pop out their motif more in a way that's distinctly Sentai. If they want to make their own designs, they have to see what made the Sentai designs work. Otherwise, it'll seem like they did the bare minimum to make something that could vaguely be considered Power Rangers.

I think this situation is like a "Ship of Theseus" kind of situation. While I think both "Stick with Sentai" and "Do its own way" routes are fine if you take away the tokusatsu component out of PR is it really even PR anymore? But my opinion is that while PR should move away from adapting Sentai it should still be a Tokusatsu Franchise. Adult Tokusatsu is there so if they want to switch it up they can still retain the Toku Flavor

Even Super Sentai is on a slow steady decline. I think there is only 2 things that can happen which is to get a huge investor that pushes and markets the series or as Hasbro is doing already start liquidating a show stuck in the past. The US is a corporate owned climate and all that we can do is make our own shows in the style and appreciate it like the local heroes in Japan or indie animation like RWBY and Hazbin Hotel made by the fans.
