- 30 years in and we have three theatrical releases. But none have them have ever been hugely successful. Why is that? Are Power Rangers movies just mediocre? Or do they individually have good qualities?
What goes into making the perfect Power Rangers movie? We'll be comparing and contrasting 1995's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie, 1997's Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, and 2017's Power Rangers to find our answer.
And how much Krispy Kreme do we have to eat just to find that pesky Zeo Crystal?
Which film was your favorite? Comment below!
Also, Once & Always video will be out tomorrow!

The 2017 one. I genuinely believe it would have been a huge hit if they had just stuck to the _source designs_ more. The problem was, it gave off the impression it wasn't going to honour the show's legacy, so people just skipped over it. This is entirely due to the gratuitous and totally unnecessary complete redesigns - of which Goldar and the Megazord, both incredibly iconic characters, were the worst offenders, being totally unrecognisable from the originals and having a completely different and unrecognisable silhouette - bad character design 101. At least with the new suits, you can kind of see it if you squint your eyes.
Now many years later, old fans have gave it a chance because "eh, why not, it's free on [insert streaming service]" and almost universally agree it was a good film and that they should have given it a chance back when it originally released. Maybe not the greatest film ever, but certainly competently done.
If they had kept everything the same, but used suit, monster and zord robot designs much closer to the originals, and had at least one more morphed martial arts fight half way through the film, instead of just the tiny, less than 5 minute, brawl before the zords at the end, we'd probably be talking about an upcoming _second sequel_ right now (and a first sequel would have already been pushed out).
They got so much right with the film, the spirit of the characters, the character interaction, the lore of the franchise in regards to the possibilities of the Morphin' Grid or the importance of the Zeo Crystal, even giving Zordon a history, motivation and personality that made sense. It was just those blasted horrible redesigns that put everybody off.
Just look at the near-miss that was the Sonic movie (another big popular 90s IP!), and how much the simple act of reverting the design of the character to something much more closely resembling the original design, propelled it to blockbuster success, resulting in a film that was much better than it had any right to be. That's exactly what Power Rangers needed, and would have had if they had employed the same wisdom the people behind the Sonic Movie were convinced to have.
OH MY GOD, I CAN GUSH ABOUT THE SONIC MOVIE ALL DAY (I have a Sonic plush that's in the background of my streams).
It wasn't perfect, but you're right, just the move to redesign lead to its success. Whether or not it did that directly, I think it definitely put a lot of trust in Sonic fans. Power Rangers just needs to do that as well.
Thank you so much for you comment! 😊

2017. i saw some youtubers reacting to it and the fact that they did a spiderman and the kids could break a faucet by accident unmorphed or being steal like and unbothered when someone headbuts them made me wanna get out of that video.
I dont know if they were supossed to be "regular" kids or if they were martial arts trained in the movie, but if they werent, that also magically were cause yes it's like...please...at least in the og billy had to train cause unmorphed he was useless fighting wise, he was brains only, and the others could fight cause they had trained (except kim, who was a gimnast but she dealt with it and also learnt). that was the magic...it was just regular kids doing the fighting and morphing to fight the bad guys when as normal humans the couldnt anymore. not people turning into spiderman..like please. ugh. that already makes me go "no, thak you. no more of that".
1995. as a kid i loved the 1995 new suits. i was so dissapointed when season 2 came out and they were still with the simple ones xdddd
still, the best

The suits and helmets in the ‘95 movie are epic.
To each their own. They've got some good ideas but not my cup of tea personally. 🙂
ALL BUT The Zords/Megazord &
Certain #DeletedScenes SHOULD
Have Been Resored On Bluray!!
I feel like the suits from the '95 movie were what the Metallic Armor they got halfway through Season 3 SHOULD have been, instead of just a glitter-coat. At least the '95 Movie suits look like they offer better protection than the normal spandex-suits...
@@Insert_Bland_Name_Here The movie suits was supposed to be the metallic armor but they said it was so heavy and kept falling apart during the movie production that they just used the glitter suits. The 3rd season was gonna use everything from the movie lol.
@@mintbari yea... you may need glasses 😂
The Power Rangers movie should've just gone a Black Panther/Spider-Man route with the suits.
Make them very traditional, but when the viewer looks super close, they can notice subtle dinosaur scales added to the spandex.
This right here! I think designing the suits well really depends on perspective. MMPR the Movie and PR2017 took the suits and turned them into what the standard for "modern superhero suit" was at the time. Instead, they should take the elements for the standard suit and bring into the existing design of the TV suits.
Mastodons and sabertooth tigers didn't have scales. So that wouldn't work for the Black and Yellow Ranger suits. But I do like that concept though.
Honestly, what you've said about suit design makes me question Hasbro's choices with the Cosmic Fury suits even more than I already have. The designs are trying to go for that DC suit, like that of Shazam's, but it just doesn't work, due to how bland the suits came out, and the fake abs make it even worse, making them look too cartoony and stupid. They already had a good design on hand with the Kyuranger suits, which is the season they're "adapting" from. And again, they had a full cast to work with, considering that these are the Dino Fury characters, and they could just easily use the suits from the Sentai by adding in new characters and develop them. This actually makes me feel that Hasbro might not be the right company to run the Power Rangers TV Show. And with them trying for a reboot just five years into them owning the brand, makes me feel that they don't know what they're doing with the franchise. This isn't helped by Hasbro laying off much of its work force, under their corrupt CEO Chris Cocks (Fitting name BTW.). They can still run the toyline, since that is their expertise, but the show's production should be handled by a different company, like NBC/Universal or something (Just NOT Disney or Warner Bros., the former were pretty incompetent when owning the franchise and didn't care about it, and the latter has a CEO that's spiraling out of control and is destroying the company from within with his terrible business practices.). I want Power Rangers to succeed, but I think it needs new owners in order to get it out of the state it's currently in.
I don't think Disney would be so bad if it were modern Disney. We'd just need to secure a Kevin Feige-type leader and pray we don't get Power Rangers Time Force: Quantumania
Oddly, a lot of the Disney stuff was pretty good outside, primarily, one season.
While I have yet to see what they'll look like in actual scenes, I personally don't hate the new suits currently. However, I do have a suspicion that it couod be Hasbro trying to ease away from relying on the Sentai for the content. If I remember correctly, they were already trying to use as little as possible for Dino Fury? Can even see an angle of that in the Once and Always special, "how well will this do without relying on that footage" since it has nothing.
Personally, I'm fine with it. The connection to Super Sentai has never been an aspect of the series that I felt needed to stay. I'm willing to let the suits pass if we get something good out of it.
I hate the stupid ab armor.
First movie had the best redesign of the costumes.
Hey, if you say so, then it does!
I don't think it'll ever happen but I would love an animated Power Rangers movie that's over the top and isn't held back by the show's budget. The comics prove you can be unique with the story. BTW you ever thought of doing a video on the comics?
Honestly I wish Power Rangers could just TRY animation already. I’m not saying stop the OG live action shows or dedicate making a full animated reboot, maybe just a movie or a special. There are some fans that say PR could never do animation because it would take away from Sentai or whatever nonsense, but you never know if it’s not gonna work unless you try.
Give it an action cartoon creative in the animation industry like say Ciro Neil (TMNT 2012), Glen Murakima (Teen Titans 2003) or Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack/Primal). Hell I may not be the biggest fan of they’re “In you Face” style of action sequences, but you could even give it to Flying Bark animation, the studio behind Monkie Kid and Moon Girl. I may prefer Tartakovsky’s more traditional action myself than FBA‘s UBER intense anime style, but even I can admit a Power Rangers cartoon by that studio would be freaking glorious eye candy.
What the hell is taking Hasbro so long. XD
I agree 1000%! I absolutely LOVE animation and an animated Power Rangers series is just free money that I'm surprised hasn't fully happened. We've had pitches in the past but a Brave and the Bold-style show that isn't limited to Sentai, actor availability, physical shooting challenges, etc. would open up a world of endless stories.
We've gotten some "animatic" style stories before through Battle for the Grid and Super Legends' cutscenes. Imagine them fully animated.
Also, I'd totally make a comics video. I just have to catch up lol. I'm over a year behind. 😂 I touch on the comics a bit on my Onyx video.
PR fans don't really like change. I'm all for animation but the way the fans reacted when rumors of the Toei split happened were quite telling (whether or not they were true). I'm sure once one comes out, PR fans will turn tail and love it.
I would personally give it to Studio Yotta. They've done some work for Sonic Mania, OK KO, Rick and Morty, DuckTales, Animaniacs, and Smiling Friends, among others. I think their style has a lot of personality which I think would be important for characters like Power Rangers who are fully helmeted. They'll need to be expressive.
If I was talented enough to know Adobe Animate, Toonboom, or Blender, I'd love to animate a scene from Power Rangers as a proof of concept.
Not animated movie. An animated series. Better world building, better chance of potential character development and more expansive story telling. And it should be loosely based on the boom studio comics. With some rearranging of the story arcs
@@animanco6833 Oh no, I agree too. I just didn’t say I wanted that in my initial comment because I was afraid some more vicious PR fans would snap me. Lol
If we ever do get a PR animated series and it HAS to be based on MMPR as a springboard, it BETTER be the most streamlined/definitive incarnations of those characters. I am SO sick of those goody goody characterizations of the OG 93 cast being the basis and practically ruining the franchise during the 2010 shows. Like freaking have Kimberly be arrogant, have Tommy and Jason be realistic asshole rivals to each other, give Trini more character traits besides being the second girl of the group or the second smart one next to Billy. Give me a reason to care about Jason and the gang besides “Their friends and ALWAYS get along.” There’s no character tension with that, I’m sorry Haim Saban.
Honestly, I have my critiques with the Boom comics and I’m (personally) not necessarily asking for a straight retelling of them in animated form like most people are, but I WILL agree with everyone else that they’re a great, even phenomenon step in the right direction in terms of maturing these absolute “90’s tropes” of characters and giving them more meat of relatability then OG MM EVER did. Hopefully with the success of them COME cartoonist or writer in Hollywood is listening and is willing to pitch a PR cartoon either exactly like or semi-similar to the comics that doesn’t treat the audience like babies like the OG 93 show or the 2010s PR stuff did
Here's how i make a proper Power Rangers movie:
1. Have the film's tone to be more Lighthearted, Colorful, Grounded, & Realistic Fight Scenes in the vein of the MCU, Transformers & Lord of the Rings.
2. Cast age-appropriate young actors so they can have sequels if they grow old in the next 3 years.
3. Make the suits to be more like Black Panther (the Morphing sequences to be more like Thor's Transformation scene from the 2011 Thor film).
I like all of these. Especially the idea of using transformation sequences similar to Thor. I'm partial to the one from Thor: Ragnarok of him and Loki transforming when they first meet Hela. I would do it sort of similar to the show where there's still an elaborate transformation sequence, but it's implied to be practically instant in real time.
How to make a new and good MMPR reboot today: Adapt the Boom Studios comics and steal the cast of Cobra Kai to play Jason, Tommy etc. Unfortunately no JDF to play Lord Drakkon.
I would love to see a Lord Drakkon series. But yeah, no JDF... I will say though that he was in talks about doing a series before Hasbro bought the franchise.
The thing with the 2017 movie, is the sequels could've mixed up some storylines. The sequel could've been Green With Evil/Lord Zedd introduction/ White Ranger arc focusing more on Trini and Tommy as the main character arcs especially if they made Tommy into a girl like the rumors were saying. The 3rd movie could've move to a more Zack and Kimberly focus with Rita returning teaming up with Lord Zedd and mixing some of the current comic book story into Zedd's backstop being from the same species as Zordon.
From a fan perspective, I think what you've laid out is great. It would work really well for a recurring storyline. But when it comes to marketing and actual production, there's not enough to set it apart. This format would work well with an episodic show with a film-budget (like House of the Dragon, Last of Us, etc.). But they also need to sell new merchandise, elevate the stakes with each film, and find ways to keep it from getting stale. Outside of doing two films, an adaptation of Day of the Dumpster and then Green with Evil, the reality is that there's not a strong enough story for the big screen to adapt. At least not without having to go into other teams and more world-building options, which is why I mention jumping ahead and interspersing adaptations of other seasons in. I'd love for them to do Lord Drakkon, but that storyline heavily relies on a long running legacy of characters.
But what you've written can be used as jumping off point for sure. Just have to add those extra marketing elements. While a new villain or new zords can work for the show, film audiences just realistically want more.
I don't thing it should've been green with evil because it's not the tommy show its the teens with attitude story tommy would be good for a sequel but not in the first movie
@MintBari boom already gave story for the day of the dumpster and the rangers being use to their powers because it's updated to the modern 2020's
@tyronleung5276 did you actually pay attention to what I was saying, I was referring to sequel ideas for the 2017 movie, if they could've made one. At this point, that movie isn't getting a sequel, so now, yeah, a new movie would come out that has nothing to do with the 2017 movie
Yeah, it's a shame the 2017 move didn't kick off a PRU with maybe extra 2 or so movies that could expand to maybe new rangers, new forms and new ways to explore and try new settings or ideas. Expanding in terms of story, but keeping the simplicity with the Ranger suits and Zords. Being able to distinguish the group and recognizable. For branding wise.
They would need to plan out each movie and what that could lead to in the future, but not rely on getting a sequel (Look at the Dark Universe, Tom Cruises Mummy) Knowing what you want to convey in terms in story/characters and tone.
Being able to balance the line of the tone from bright and fun adventure to dark but serious moments.
I wished that 2017 had been given more of a chance to shine with its characters and expand on the Morphin Grid. With the mix of the Rangers personal struggles.
No not the Mummy 😱!
For sure, we also have to recognize that there's a lot of thought and consideration that us fans will have but not directors so it's obvious how we should rum things. I think a big solution would be to find someone who is a genuine fan to executive produce and oversee the projects. They've got to be a fan, but with tempered expectations of course. From there, a long term plan can be made.
i liked the alien looking scales what I think would be believable for an alien organic type of morph would be to keep the original pattern but have the spandex look scaley or organic
I'm not against an alien look, but it would be more fitting for the alien rangers or something. It's less a critique on the theming, and more the general aesthetic look. I've also never been a big fan of certain intricate/organic-type patterns in clothing/fashion so it also applies here I guess haha. But to each their own! :)
My favorite PR movie is honestly the original. I love it the same way I love TMNT Secret of the Ooze; just a piece of 90s cheesy nonsense and I enjoy every minute of it. Turbo I’ve grown to enjoy over time, and the 2017 was fun but nothing too outrageous.
But here’s how I would construct a PR movie for the modern day…
1) Embrace the camp and cheesiness. Power Rangers on a whole is kind of the superhero kid show version of a Spanish soap opera; shocking reveals like a long lost sibling being the evil ranger, will they/won’t they relationships, etc. Power Rangers can have dark moments, but to shy away from the campiness kind of strips away what makes this franchise so special. I think we could actually get some fun and inspiring, similar to Star Wars, the OG Superman movies or Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.
2) take more inspiration from the comics. Boom has been doing so much for the franchise that it would be a crime to not use these stories as a stepping off point. I don’t necessarily need a Shattered Grid style movie, but by god it would be awesome to see.
"Embrace the camp and cheesiness. "
No. Just no. This is what the 2017 movie did right and what so many of the Super Sentai series also do that, sadly, Power Rangers does not. It takes it more seriously, and that makes it more effective overall.
"Power Rangers can have dark moments, but to shy away from the campiness kind of strips away what makes this franchise so special"
I'm sorry, but no. What makes Super Sentai/Power Rangers "so special" is the great action filmmaking by Alpha Stunts (who took over the action filmmaking on Power Rangers starting in the 3rd season) and the cool costumes of the Rangers. Missing all of that because all you care about are corny lines by bad writers that actually ruin the great action is a really bizarre perspective to have.
"I think we could actually get some fun and inspiring"
You can have movies that are "fun and inspiring" and aren't filled with constant stupid jokes and bad lines. You sound like someone who is a big fan of the MCU. The MCU is horrible because it goes against its own source material, which actually took itself seriously and was far more dramatic and much better for it. The fact that we can't have fantasy/action films that take themselves seriously anymore because the MCU has brainwashed entire generations to think that the only movies that should take themselves seriously are Oscar-bait movies and everything with action and fantasy has to be basically $200 million comedy skits is incredibly frustrating and sad.
@@DaRunningMan dude calm down. I was just expressing my opinion. When I say I enjoyed cheese in media, I mean “characters making a dramatic speech with a straight face and no quips” cheese, not the “dramatic moment interrupted by jokes” or “he’s standing right behind me” dialogue. As for your MCU claim, I enjoy those movies, but I’m more of a DC comics fan, and I mean classic fun mixed with serious DC, and not SnyderVerse DC. Hope that clears things up! :)
@@omega-rattrap "When I say I enjoyed cheese in media, I mean “characters making a dramatic speech with a straight face and no quips” cheese"
I've never heard of "camp and cheesiness" being used to define that. That's literally the opposite of "camp and cheese."
" As for your MCU claim, I enjoy those movies"
Of course you do. They are joke-fests.
"but I’m more of a DC comics fan, and I mean classic fun mixed with serious DC, and not SnyderVerse DC"
Zack Snyder's movies respected the TONE of the original comic books, which took themselves SERIOUSLY. And that goes a long way. The MCU doesn't respect the source material because they go AGAINST the tone of the original Marvel comic books by turning everything into a joke-fest. So many damn corny jokes that the movies end up being almost parodies of superhero movies.
The Power Rangers 2017 movie got that tone that Power Rangers should have combined with a fantastic script and a great cast. The problem is they dropped the ball on the costumes and the action, both of which were horrible.
I can’t blame you. I just recently realized how good lightspeed rescue is! I didn’t appreciate it when I was a preteen.
It's a fun one!
For me the prefect Power Rangers Movie is, when you when you Combine the Relationship and story and all of that of the 2017 film. With the Suits of the 95 film and the Megazords Fights of the Turbo Film.
This is something that has been on my mind for a long time and I'm glad you covered it! Ever since I was a kid I remember seeing Adi Shaker's reboot years before the movie came out, and while that was obviously edgy for the sake of it, i always thought about how it would affect the show positively or negatively. As of recently discovered a manga called Ranger Reject, which to put it simply is like The Boys but Power Rangers. Its not the greatest thing in the world but it has great concepts and pretty relatable characters and I wish it got more attention.
I've heard of that manga! Is it worth checking out? (and thanks for leaving a comment, I appreciate it! 😊)
@@mintbari Its definitely is worth a read. The action isn't all that but its worth reading for the characters and story alone, its also getting an anime sometime this year which is pretty cool, hopefully it will guve the series a boost in popularity since nobody talks about it that much.
Minus the suits, the MAIN reason they wouldn't consider the original movie as Canon was because of Dulcea. (I think that's how you spelt her name in the movie)
Because it was too risque for television they had to rewrite for Ninjor
Got a source on this one? I'm pretty sure the main accepted reason was rights and the different writers. Dulcea wouldn't be a huge problem considering Divatox's costume was modified between the film and the show.
Ninjor Had ALLREADY Been
A Part Of Sentai Series &
They Wanted Continuity...So
They Incorperated Elements
From 1995 Film INTO Newer
Scripts & Worked The Ninjetti
Elements Into Ninjors Lore!
(Allthough I PREFER BOTH
Dulcea Of Phaedos & #IvanOoze)
Anyway, I'd say the 2017 movie had the most potential for a movie and was a decent update of the franchise with lots of room to improve.
True. I think it also has lots of room to improve, but I'm glad it took some steps in certain directions. Enjoyable, but we can always strive for better! 🙂
The Casting Was ALL WRONG,
EXCEPT #DacreMontgomery Of
#StrangerThings As JasonLee!!
Even The Zords/Megazord Had
ABSOLUTELY Horrific CGI!!
I had my own idea for a dark Power Rangers movie before the 2017 one was made. It would have gone like this;
Rita Repulsa is searching for the legendary Power Coins on Earth so she can access the power of the Morphin Grid and resurrect her husband Lord Zedd. Zordon follows Rita to earth and prevents her from getting the coins so she traps him in a time warp but Zordon imprisons Rita and her minions in a space dumpster on the moon. Of course ten-thousand years later two astronauts find the dumpster and release Rita. She confuses her search for the power coins. The coins have each chosen five teenagers to protect them; Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, and Kimberley. However they are unaware that they possess the coins’ power and Rita seeks them out trying to kill them, but Zordon and Alpha find the five teens before Rita can kill them and explains everything to them and makes them Power Rangers to fight Rita and keep her from getting the Power Coins. Of course Rita would recruit Tommy to be her evil green ranger. I was thinking either Rita found a sixth Power coin that Zordon didn’t know about and gives it to Tommy or unlike the TV show Tommy is selected to be a ranger along with the other five but Rita kidnaps him and brainwashes him to work for her and the other rangers are unaware he’s secretly working for Rita. Unlike the TV show the teens wouldn’t start off as friends before they become rangers but over time they start to become friends. For the characters’ personalities I thought Jason could be kind of a jock and Billy a timid nerdy boy and Kimberley a stick-up cheerleader and Zack an outgoing class clown and Trini a tomboyish environmentalist girl and Tommy a mysterious bad boy. There could be some character development like Jason starts to become more of a leader and think of others and Kimberley becomes less self-centered and Billy comes more confident in himself. Rita would be more a serious villain very cold and calculating like Maleficent. I had this idea for a backstory with Zordon and Rita where they were twins and the prince and princess of Eltar but Zordon revealed this secret she had which caused her father to banish her from Eltar then she sold her soul to Lord Zedd and married him and came back to Eltar to conquer it and she killed her father and took over the planet while Zordon rebelled against her but I don’t know. Maybe a better backstory would have been that Zordon and Rita were both Power Rangers like in the 2017 and they had a romance but Rita betrayed the team to work for Zedd I don’t know. In Zyuranger Rita’s counterpart Bandora used to be a good queen until her son was killed by a dinosaur so she sold her soul to Satan and became a witch who caused the dinosaurs extinction out of revenge so maybe Rita could have had a son who was killed somehow by something Zordon did and that led her to become evil and maybe she treats Tommy like her son I don’t know.
I know it’s not impossible to make a power rangers movie that at least MOST (86%) of the fan base will enjoy, but…how long will it take for someone to bring it to us?
As long as it takes for someone who actually knows and cares of the franchise enough to create something decent out of it.
I wish they had let JDF take the reigns for a project for real, I feel like we would've gotten some really good stuff
They almost did! There were talks before Hasbro bought the franchise for a Lord Drakkon series.
@@mintbari I'll forever wonder what it'd look like if we had gotten the White Dragon story with PR's budget & IP- it would've been legendary after Soul of the Dragon!!
@@Powerdweeb96 We won't even know how Legend of the White Dragon turned out until September 2024.....if ever.
@@aaronthomas6155 we know what the story is, it's been discussed openly
My idea would be to have the first Phase be the Zordon Era. Start with 3 Mighty Morphan Movies: 1 to start things, Green with Evil, and a 3rd for Tommy to become the White Tiger Ranger. Then go Zeo, Turbo, In Space, and Galaxy. Then start phase 2 with Dino Thunder to end off Tommy's story and show that rangers can form without Zordon. Then go to Light Speed Rescue to establish that other people can become rangers without magic or alien tech, but with human science. Then idk where to go from there
That's very unrealistic with audience retention. You can do three films but for that amount of films, the first phase would span at least a decade. Marvel's first phase only spanned four years. That and it's a huge gamble to completely move onto teams other than MMPR, which is why I suggested dipping into other teams early.
As someone who works in TV, I can tell you this would get shot down by producers immediately. Sorry if that's harsh but it's the sad truth of it. Which is why we need to find a plan that appeals to fans, general audiences, and the studios making the films.
Either both movies should have been canon or both non canon.
If non canon, then Divatox should have worn a full blown shiny swimsuit 🔥
Honestly whoever did the blue beetle movie. Should write and direct the new power ranger movie. That fight stance in the trailer reminded me of the power rangers
I read an article about how Blue Beetle was actually designed with Power Rangers in mind!
@@mintbari hopefully they get to work on the new series and or movie
I think the most easiest thing to do in a power ranger movie, is skip over the origins story.
Everyone knows power rangers, regardless of age, the story about how they got their power can be told through dialogue. The most important thing the movie should focus on is the team itself. Just because there power rangers, doesn't mean there a team of power rangers.
-Jason arc is accepting the responsibility of being the red ranger. He has the quality of leadership that you can see through school, social life, and battle, but he personally doesn't seem himself as that archetype. Out of everyone, he doesn't know what to do with his life; he's decent in school when he shows up, decent as a power ranger because of learning martial arts thanks to his dad, and a decent person to be around. But he doesn't have the best relationship with his father, can't seem to get the leader part down since he doesn't want to be one, nor be a power ranger, and again being a teenager who is becoming an adult, he doesn't have an idea what kind of adult he wants to be. Compare to the other rangers who knows who they want to be, he doesn't have that vision of the type of person he wants to be. But over the course of the movie, we see him grow into the man he wants to be, need to be. He's a man of action, when he needs to use words, he uses it, but above of all else, he's willing to put his life on the line if it means everyone can live. This, is the major reason why Zordon pick Jason as the leader, because just as he can lead the team through the darkest of time, he's the one who doesn't give up, and that spirit, is why his team too doesn't give up.
-Zack arc involves him learning humbleness instead of arrogance. He wants to be the leader, he's the one being the most expressive and outspoken of the group, and he's also the only one spending time talking to interviewers and people of angel groove. He likes being a power ranger, the attention of it, because he's also very social person in highschool, and whiles he's the loudest in the room, he's the loneliest in the room. Both of his parents passed, leaving his sister to take care of him and his baby brother. His sister isn't always around because she's busy working for him. And while he respects it, he wishes that someone can take that responsibility for, yet, he himself is running away from his responsibilities too. He's not good in school, can't sit still to learn in class, he aches to fight, aches to socialize and party, but in doing so, he's forgetting his baby brother, and hurting his relationship with his sister. He doesn't like Jason, picks on Billy so he can toughen him upm get's ignored by Kim, and Trini tolerates him to a point. Over the course of the movie, he learns to be more humble, caring, kinder, and put more focus in his education.
-Billy arc involves him coming out of his shell. He isn't a great ranger, using his mind to conquer his enemy by using fire projectiles he design, loves tinkering, great at school, but he's very lack luster in the social department. He's never been good at communication with people his age, its easier with his parents, but others not so much. Unlike the rest of the power rangers, he told his parents about being a power ranger, but they worry about him, question why can't anyone else take up the role, and even try to ground him at a later point in the movie. And while Billy isn't confident in himself entirely, being a power ranger, being on a team, no matter how difficult it is, makes him feel's like he's a apart of something. The likes of Trini and Jason shows him what the team can truly be. Sure, he doesn't get along with Zack at first, nor Kimberly, but again, he gets ecstatic at being a not so good power ranger. Simply because, he's apart of something, he was chosen compare to who else could've of took that place, and he'll follow behind Jason into battle because he, mostly compare to the others, knows what is at stake if he doesn't answer the call. He may not be confident in certain department, but he's brave to want to fight battles that some can't.
-Kimberly arc involves her learning to sacrifice one thing for the others. Compare to the others, Kimberly has a problem with being a power ranger, in hindsight, it put a stamp on the plans she have going and will go through after highschool. She tries juggle everything at once, even to the point of dropping being a power ranger job just to appease either her parents, or get to class on time. She's a top of her class, leader of cheer leading club, and all around type of girl that does inherently want to help everyone around her, just as to appease everyone's term. It puts alot of stress on her, get's her aggravated with the likes of Billy and Zack, especially Zack who calls upon her bs, and she would try to quit being a power ranger only to have Zordon put down that idea with a quote, "Once a ranger, always a ranger." She also grew up from a family of perfectionist, not bad people, but expects the best above else. So just as she is a hard working person, off battle and in battle, she's a determine person to get everything right on the spot. Like the rest, her arc get's completed, giving up cheer leading, appease people's attention, and focus on what's important, that being get into a good college, and save the world with her team.
-And now Trini, who out of everyone, doesn't have that arc she needs to complete. She is, the perfect power ranger, one who understands her duties as one, helps the people, and somehow keeps herself situated in school. Her family expects the best of her, but also doesn't force to do things that makes it uncomfortable to accomplish. She has the proper balance of being herself and a power ranger. And because of that, she's the one that brings the power ranger together. From understanding Billy way of talking and giving him more confidence, grooving with Zack, yet not afraid to point out his flaws, competing with Kimberly, yet forcing Kimberly to decide on what she does next so she can understand what's at stake, and to even get very close to Jason through martial arts because she has a background of studying kyokushin that counteracts his shotokun karate. In doing so, she becomes the beacon of light the team need, as her role is define as being the type of person to showcase everyone's true potential then just let it wither in it being untap potential, and uplift those who can't lift themself up. This is mostly because of the family she have, the family she protects, and also aspiring to be the best version of herself that her parents instill into her.
Obviously, the villain would mostly involve Rita send her lackeys. Second movie involving Tommy, and third movie to wrap it up involving Zed. But this is how I envision the first movie should before we go on to the two later movies, that involves them graduating highschool, and living their life as adults.
I just read all this lol. I actually like the idea of not doing an origin story. It worked well for Spider-Man: Homecoming, I think it'd work well here. I also like that you've outlined each of the character arcs and even made Trini more complete. That's something lacking sometimes is that it can be okay to have a character who doesn't go through much change but can be a foil or influence on another character. Something Once and Always did very well is use that trait of Trini's to inform her character's differences to Minh's.
@@mintbari In what world did I just hop into with a youtube creator read my outline, hearted, and commented, all in span of the same day?
I'm in utter shock and disbelief. None the less, the video itself was a good watch and well research on what do to make a good PR movie.
I don’t know anything about power rangers but I need to know why there are donuts in the background of this thumbnail
The 2017 reboot movie had a pretty infamous product placement deal with Krispy Kreme lol. @9:19 in the video.
Power rangers' problem is that now isn't a great time to release films in the cinema unless you are an established, already popular family brand. 2017 movie was fantastic in my opinion and everyone I made watch it loved it, but with cinemas so expensive, no one is taking that risk- just look at DnD recently.
Wow! I didn't notice they removed the yellow triangles on the Turbo suits for the movie as you said at 4:50. Great observation!
I get they wanted to go for a more mature film but a 2 hour long superhero movie with very little action I just think didn't work. Plus I feel like this show came out at the wrong time. Besides Rangers fans no one was gonna see this movie during phase 2 and 3 of Marvel movies coming out.
Was there any better time? Any earlier and it wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn from Marvel and DC's own successes (its clear imo how much influence there is). Any later and superhero fatigue would've set in. The box office numbers for it were gonna abysmal no matter what. But I think better execution would've mitigated it a bit more, maybe even saved it.
As a small note, the triangles on the shoulders of the Turbo Rangers are remnants from the original Japanese footage of Carranger. Power Rangers isn't an American property, it's basically a dub of a japanese show called Super Sentai; they just replace all the footage of the characters outside their suits with American actors.
That's common knowledge at this point. There was no reason to further complicate things by mentioning Sentai cause it really has little to do with the PR movies.
Power Rangers was started as an American adaptation of a Japanese show. "Power Rangers" is an American property. It's not a "dub of a Japanese show". The story lines and scripts are very different between Power Rangers and the Sentai counterparts. Also, not all the actors in Power Rangers are American. The actress that actually played Rita was Japanese. Catherine Sutherland (Kat Hillard from MMPR/Zeo/Turbo/Once and Always) is Australian.
I agree with your sentiments about the 2017 live action movie that the basis for their powers IS limiting. But perhaps if they continued on into the Green with Evil and the Zeo plot lines, we could have explored if the limitations were solely for the Mighty Morphin power coins, or if it was a morphing grid limitation. Or maybe the green coin functioned differently for Rita, cause she was clearly betraying Her and Zordon's team, meaning there was no friendship left between them, so either she shouldn't be able to morph or none of them should have morphed because the team wasn't all together trusting.
Continuing that thought, the limitation of trust to morph could have been ingrained into their formation by whoever forged these power coins, so if it is with just the MMPR team for trust to morph, then other teams could morph individually. Imagine episode 1 of wild force, all 4 wild force rangers hunting down an org at night but instead of them being an established team of 4 who had been working for a while, they were 4 separate rangers who had been hunting org's believing they were the only one, and all 4 of them meeting and attacking each other allows the Org to get away. Having them not know any of the others exist completely recontextulizes the scene, and then add in Cole and the movie is them getting to know each other, breaking out of their lone fighter mentalities, and having their hunt for this Org only succeed when they trust each other to work together and cover their weaknesses, allowing them to combine their weapons into the Jungle sword and beat it.
Or if we explore jungle fury as a movie, then their spirit animals that they use to morph could be use as a story beat as Spiritually knowing oneself. The rangers, still Pai Zhuq students wouldn't have the full spiritual understanding of themselves to connect to their spirit animals and morph. Have Jared and Dai Chi be a situation of him seeking to know himself to make this connection, to console his pride and prove he is the best in their class and should be moved to higher lessons, be why he and Dai Chi become one. A consequence of his character flaw and a consequence of knowing yourself, is that he may hate what he sees. They can show off the spirit world like the Wakandan afterlife and the connection is sacred, why only Pai Zhuq masters could morph before and why RJ is so good as their mentor. He has the connection, have him morphing from the start, but have his connection be uncontrollable after long periods because in this universe he feels some disconnect from him being a Pai Zhuq master who left it behind to run a Pizza restaurant, and have the second movie have him console with himself that their is nothing wrong with not being at the temples teaching the next generation in the traditional sense, but that his unconventional way is what made these 3 students of his grow and flourish, that an unconventional teacher still teaches.
I've wasted enough time boring you with my TED talk, so, thanks for reading.
WOW! That was a fun read haha. All great ideas. But as much as I love long speculations as to how things work (I make 20+ minute long video essays on niche PR topics lol), in my opinion it's kind of bad writing for an expansive universe when the fundamentals are best explained with a paragraphs-long text. You're comment is awesome btw, I'm just calling out the film's writing.
I like the idea you have of the four Wild Force rangers thinking they're the only ones and operating separately. But because of how PR 2017 was written, they're kind of backed into a corner unless they can write themselves out of it.
I appreciate the TED talk! 😊
The Fast & The Furious franchise is the best live action adaption of Power Rangers we’ll probably ever get.
FAMILY.
They Should have gone more traditional with the suits, but made the Helmets slightly futuristic while keeping it in line with the Helmets in the Show.
When he mentioned the dinosaur inspired helmets that was the first I’ve noticed that in my 26 years of life
Wow, I figured everyone knew! It always came obvious to me as a kid so I just assumed lol. Out of curiousity, what did you think the helmet designs/shapes/details (the Sabertooth Tiger teeth on Yellow, the Tusks and Trunk on Black) were?
Could be cool if there was an MCU style series of movies for power rangers with the Lord Drakkon stories being the Avengers style crossovers. Make shattered grid the infinity war/endgame. Only problem is that each generation would only get 1 movie at most to introduce them.
6:53
"The show's overall quality was very poor"
*proceeds to show the best Neo Saban season*
I agree that the first film should focus on "Day of the Dumpster" and "Green With Evil" since those were the most important events from season 1. And they need to do stuff for the film that does make audiences want to come back for future films. Especially for audiences who never watched the show. I showed the 2017 film to my family and friends who never watched the show and they were left wishing the sequels weren't canceled because they wanted more. The films need to be written by people who truly understand the material. Fans of the franchise. Kevin Feige helped produced several Marvel movies before he helped create the MCU, like the X-Men films, because of his knowledge of the comics. Superhero movies wouldn't be what they are today without him. Sam Raimi made Spider-Man a great film based on his love of the character. If a Power Rangers film is done right, we could soon get audiences cheering as they watch a Megazord battle on IMAX 3D. We can even eventually get the same hype people had for Infinity War and Endgame. I hope that we will get a great Power Rangers cinematic universe since a new reboot is in the works.
Imagine if we got Lord Drakkon or Lord Zedd on the big screen
Zedd was in the MMPR movie lol. But I would SHIT MYSELF if we got Drakkon! 😱
Zedd was in the Turbo movie too. Sleeping. When Divatox calls Rita. 😂😂😂
Man thecsuits from 95 were so clean to me! And they still are lol i also love lightspeed rescue as well
I agree with a lot of your points in this video, there extremely valid. However, had the 2017 Power Rangers been successful, while cliché, they should've done Phases like Marvel and sticked to the structure of the show. What is I mean, Phase 1 could've all three seasons of Mighty Morphin, plus the Alien Rangers mini-series. Phase 2 could've covered the Zordon Era of Zeo, Turbo and in Space. Phase 3 from Lost Galaxy to Wild Force. Phase 4 would be Ninja Storm to Operation Overdrive. Phase 5 would be Jungle Fury to Megaforce, etc etc.
I mostly agree with that. The phase structure works, but there would need to be some moving around. It worked well for Marvel because they had multiple stories/comics to pull from. PR on the other hand is more linear. I don't think things like Alien, Turbo or Overdrive are gonna bring butts to seats so some rearranging or outright removing may have to be in order. It's not quite a one size fits all approach but with the right work, phases could totally be done.
The 2017 movie is like the ppl who r behind them are embarrassed of the tv show
Almost like they feel they are “big boys “ now
I probably wouldn't go to that extent, but I think it's just a lack of understanding of why the TV works. The new special is out and no one's complaining about the suit designs because it's what worked. The 2017 film was treated as if you can slap a generic superhero formula onto an already established property. I think there's some value and seeing what works in general, but don't be afraid to lean into what was in the original.
Appreciate everyone's opinion and happy you made this video but that 95 movie was epic. Imo Turbo was a complete let down. I honestly thought the latest one was good enough for a sequel
Sooooo CRAZY you came to Kansas City, Missouri. I live here and I went to that same theater on open day with my 3 nephews. Small world.
I remember waiting and looking forward to watching the 2017 movie. Good times
Me too, I was hyped for it. For the first time in a very long time, people I knew outside of the fandom were talking about Power Rangers, which at that point was so surreal to me.
Massive disagree on "just use the spandex from the show". The reason spandex works for Spider-man, but wouldn't work for a more cinematic version of Power Rangers, is because Spider-man where's his costume purely to hide his identity, the Ranger suits are enhanced, alien power suits used to protect them and give them more strength. How are you supposed to convey that with spandex? I'm sorry, but it looks silly in context.
P.S. The Man of Steel suit is awesome and the Christopher Reeve suit would look silly in that film.
disagree completely about the 95 suits, I saw them in person and they looked awesome
With the recent controversy of Power Rangers said to needing to get rid of its tokusatsu aspects, the way you mention that there should be nuance and a way to balance the light hearted tones with the grim and/or dark really applies well. Because Power Rangers would benefit from taking MORE from its Japanese tokusatsu roots especially when it comes to storytelling. Japanese tokusatsu allows itself to not just have stories for kids, but stories for kids that can appeal to adults. Or stories for adults that can appeal to kids!
I always said they should have made a zeo movie instead of turbo , I found out YEARS later alot of people didn't like the justin character at ALL 😂
Not as unpopular an opinion lol
Oh ABSOLUTELY...Love💖ZEO!!
The 1995 Film Was 66% CLOSE
To ABSILUTE Perfection... But
Was Missing #DeletedScenes &
SHOULD HAVE Had A Little More
Time To Beef-Up The CGI Zords!
Turbo is the best power rangers movie in my opinion. It has the low budget cheesyness, the zords aren't cgi and the suits aren't redesigned. It has bulk n skull. The fight scenes are decent, has "evil rangers" in tommy and Kimberly. Its the closest to an actual episode of power rangers out of all the movies.
YES! I think Turbo does really well what the other two don't in that its baseline the most faithful and representative Power Rangers movie experience? Now is it knock-off your socks good? Maybe not, but it's the only one where the direction didn't try to deviate away from what PR is. I think with some different writing and more positive changes, it would've been perfect.
It was actually Jason and Kimberly.....and it was filmed specifically as the lead-in from Zeo to Turbo, by the same people that produced the show.
the need to do what they did then, now. make a sequal, retcon the first one, make the sequal more like the source material but do the things you did good initially again, start the next series with that cast and have it maintain the mood, ive always wanted a ever so slightly more serious power rangers, which is why dino thunder was my favorite as a kid, i feel like it was deff the edgiest
Man it’s almost criminal you didn’t talk about the Lightspeed rescue movie it was my 2nd favorite Power Rangers movie of all time
Technically it wasn’t a movie, just a VHS with multiple episodes of the series edited together.
Lightspeed Rescue is one of my favorites too man. Bansheera was the most menacing villain of the Saban Era in my opinion
i think the diamond design on the new suits is an attempt to pay homage to the original suits diamond design but more subtly
95 armor suits >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2017 busy ironman knock off suits
Always hated the armor look, but I do think the suits need to be different from the show, I always thought the material should be similar to captain America’s suit in the first avengers movie, it’s form fitting but not straight up spandex, the material looks thick for protection but not bulky
That's definitely a more reasonable way to go imo. I get the feeling there's not as much original thought in the design philosophy of the suits. They definitely relied on other cultural influences to dictate the design.
There's a new movie that came out this year as well. I'm surprised you've not featured it here. I think the 2017 movie was one of the best. It lacked the "cheap-ish" "corny-ish" feel of the of the rest of the series. I enjoyed the show and other movies as a kid, but realized the lack of Lustre as an adult. CGI has advanced a lot and I think the 2017 movie made good use of it. Also had a good storyline, cast, acting etc. However I do agree they diverted a bit too much from the original concepts and designs. The newest movie was just NO. They brought back the original actors and designs and corniness lol. No offense to the actors or the team involved but I stopped watching it half way through. Right at the part where a guy said his boyfriend needed help 😂
This video came out before the new special was released. 🙂 I made a separate video about it on my channel here: czcams.com/video/JxL4wfACSWo/video.html
Oh nice. Imma definitely check it out.
Homophobia wow how cool
Nah friend... it just felt forced at the moment. Wasn't organic like Billy being gay in real life they could have used that in the show.
@@winstongreen1886 Would it have felt forced if the man's girlfriend was in trouble?
The 2017 movie came out in a very busy movie month . In that March a lot of blockbusters came out . Had it come out in a less crowded month with less competition it would have done better. That same month had Beauty and the beast which made 1.2 billion dollars
Yeah, Logan was also out earlier that month. It probably would've done better if it came out in February. But I personally wouldn't change the release date since it came out around my birthday lol.
My quick pitch is establishing the 2nd version of the Turbo team as a some street level teens who get alien technology.
They use their tech and vehicles to stop organized stop crime but their 5th unused Morpher falls into the hands of a kid.
Now the movie about training this kid to part of the already established team while also dealing with a space pirate & her crew.
Mid credits? Andros crash lands on Earth. Post credits, Rita is unfrozen by her new minions. Set up for a sequel to both MMPR & Turbo.
The Andros bit intrigues me. 🤔
I'd kill if any PR movie made it that far 😭
I never been a fan of the 95 movie suits. Tho I did get to see some of them in person and that was cool.
Same here. They used to be at the Planet Hollywood Superstore at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando but they closed in 2019. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the suits were either sold or auctioned off. They had red, yellow, and pink there but I only remember seeing red and yellow. This was back in 2012.
I like the idea of starting with two movies of Mighty Morphin and then, for the third film, Lightspeed. Then using that season as a reproduction for the previous two movies. And Lightspeed Rescue is perfect for that because its theme is saving people. Who could play the Red Ranger Cater Grayson?
hottake but I like the armor suits it makes it more believable when a monster slashes them with sword and they tank it
I love this video. However, I disagree a bit on the costume section. I agree 2017 was overdesigned with little room to grow. However, no texture or layer of any kind I think it would be bad. The shows get a pass due to the target audience and the budget. Especially early on most of the shows were just ripped right from super sentai because Saban was too focused on the budget. Which worked then.
Also, just story and lore wise in PR, the suits should be a bit more complex than simple spandex. Even spiderman, black panther, superman, supergirl, flash, etc have some texture or layering if its your taste or not.
2017 I loved a lot for the actual characters. It was at least trying to add depth to them and not just be teenagers with attitude and powers.
I still love the old stuff of course, cause childhood. but yeah. anyways my two cents.
Fair on the layering but I never said that was a problem. Layering and texture are two separate concepts. Even then, I more specifically say "pattern" and not texture. The reason I stay away from patterns comes from readability.
Patterns can be very busy and distracting to the eye. Even worse is when the fidelity of the camera quality/video output device (TV/movie theater) is lower, it tends to create distortions. These distortions are called "moiré," which are not very pleasant to look at and for me personally can cause light headaches depending on the pattern. Fun fact, these patterns can be exploited to test the optical effectiveness microscopes by measuring the fringes caused by the distortions in a process called "moiré deflectometry."
Texture on the other hand is different. It works well because the patterns associated are so small they are hard to pick up unless you do an extreme closeup. That and the patterns they form are more from the light and shadow formed around their physical three-dimensional shape (the threads on a pair of jeans for example). Because that pattern is discerned from a light/shadow, color-wise it's extremely complementary, helping to blend the pattern in our minds.
Best practice, at least for on-screen, is to go with simpler patterns and designs. I work in TV and it's typically a faux pas to wear busy patterns such as paisley or certain floral designs, think of a news anchor/reporter wearing a suit with a heavy pattern. It's distracting and there's no way to discern what the pattern is without zooming right into the offending shirt/tie. Also not all patterns are made equal, as more busy patterns tend to come in and out of style, while simple patterns tend to stay popular.
Normally I refrain from going into this much detail in a video but I hope it gives you some more context as to my perspective on it!
Thanks so much for the comment!
A power rangers cinematic universe... Every season is one movie...
Great review
Less of a review, more of an essay. But I'll take it haha, thank you!!! 😊😊😊
Thoughts on "Power Rangers Once and Always" so far?
It's not out yet, what thoughts lmao? 😭😭😭😭😭
6:00 To be fair, unless I'm mistaken... **technically** the original MMPR Rangers' ages would've been around 13-14 if the passage of time in-universe was the same as in the real world. We just don't notice because they were played by adults and didn't act like 13 year olds.
They were at least in high school, which is close enough to an adult. Justin was (and my bad in this video) 12 so he wasn't even a teen.
I like the 1995 Movie best among the 3... the problem i have are the Zords CGI :) the suits were amazing better than the 2017 suits whatever you said about the suits from this movie.
That's 90s CGI for ya lol.
@@mintbari wish they'd remaster this using the latest tech we have now though... :) it would be awesome! !!!!!!!
The more ways than one got me 💀
Do it like Spider-Verse Movie but with power Rangers
Wait, you're onto something here. 🤔
If taking the MCU approach of adapting storylines, I purpose that The Avengers Equivalent should be a hybrid of the Legendary Battle and the End of In Space with an Infinity War/ Endgame Equivalent adapting the Shattered Grid storyline
Ooooooh that sounds very interesting! I really liked the idea of an all-out evil assault that they did in Countdown to Destruction. Add in the many participants of the Legendary Battle and the stakes of Shattered Grid and you've got an instant hit.
They should keep Jason as an ex football player, then turns to martial arts and finding his own way and independence of how he wants his future to be
I actually liked the football player aspect. I did martial arts as a kid but even then, I always found it a little too convenient that three out of the core five team (four if we add Tommy), are all fighting-style experts in their own right. Even in other seasons, it's hilarious seeing Kai and Kendrix spar in Lost Galaxy or Riley in Dino Charge conveniently being a swordsman and constantly training.
No. Just do mixed martial arts.
“Grew into an adult with power rangers”. Bro you weren’t even alive when it was good….
Nostalgia doesn't mean his era was good. Power Rangers has really been amazing all the way up till the 2010's then nickelodeon ruined it with the 20 episode rule and horrible time slot so spongebob can have its rerun times. And they started the mighty morphin nostalgia fest plus skipping super sentai seasons.
That's a very short-sighted and close minded thing to say isn't it? Yeah, I was born after MMPR but I watched quite a bit of it thanks to reruns, Blockbuster rentals and recordings my cousins would make of the show. I grew up with that era of PR as much as the era that was more appropriate for my age (Lost Galaxy through SPD, roughly).
And who are you to make the judgement that the show YOU grew up with was the only good one? And also, why in the comments of my video and not your own platform? I swear the MMPR dick riding is strong with you.
I want them to move on to Zeo. Mighty Morphing will always be the OG but there's so many other seasons that deserve a movie too.
i think turbo was the first power rangers movie ive ever seen, im not sure its like a fever dream memmory so ive never been able to really tell
I too went to see the 2017 Power Rangers film when it was released.
Bro… You can def have your opinion. But as someone who’s in their 30’s and actually lived the experience of seeing this film in theater, I for one LOVE the suits and helmets from the original movie. The ninja outfits are sick. IDK what you’re talking about lol. Turbo was a lame film because it was literally and extended episode just released as a film. The original movie was way more theatrical.
I mean yeah... you're watching a video on my channel, of course it's my opinion. And I'm happy to hear yours but you don't have to go put down mine to share it. More power to you if you like the suits, I just personally didn't see the appeal and I explained why. You can take it or leave it.
Turbo was just an extended episode released as a movie. It was even the same production crew from the show. Doesn't necessarily make it bad but definitely limited it's theatrical value though.
I wanted more movies back then
But we do have the perfect Power Rangers movie. It's called Pacific Rim!
Who is this comment for?
Idk if anyone has confirmed it or not but was the 2017 movie underperforming a leading factor for saban selling the rights to hasbro in 2018?
I don't think anyone knows that unfortunately, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I've always thought of a movie-live action or animated-that has an entirely new set of rangers instead of the rangers from the shows.
I think the 1995 movie adapted MMPR to the big screen almost perfectly. I don’t understand why anyone who was a fan of MMPR wouldn’t like it. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with it as a kid, and I still love it today. It is fast paced, it captures the feel of the show perfectly, it has nice cinematography, good costume designs, really good martial arts choreography, and a great soundtrack. The only thing that I didn’t like was the cgi Zords. The miniatures they used to create the city at the end looked really good, so it’s a shame they didn’t use practical effects for the Zords too.
I think you have to take into account the changing standards we have now that the superhero genre has exploded. That and the growing acceptance that children's media can have actual complex storylines and doesn't need to be dumbed down. For the time, I think MMPR the Movie was fine. Still think it could've done a bit more as there were more engaging children's films at the time. But with a modern lens, it's severely lacking in character (the main 6 rangers don't really change or have some sort of growth) and the plot is very basic (retrieve the "great power" and defeat the villain). I think your use of the term "adapted" might not be the right way to describe. MMPR the Movie definitely brought the show to the big screen. But in terms of "adapting" it, there was still room for it do a little more.
I liked the first two.
Honestly, they could just follow the comics. The storytelling is amazing and has enough room for growth while paying homage to all the different seasons. Imagine Shattered Grid on the big screen
0:47 I saw this movie alone too lol
Loner movie watching gang 😭😭😭
I'm honestly OK with the 2017 movie suits/They are real suits but accented with CGI, kinda like MCU Spider-Man.
But aside from that, all the points in this video are very sound.
I personally cannot wait for Once & Always to drop.
Once and Always can't come soon enough!
The first film to be fair lack of much character development was a key aspect of early power rangers
Why did alpha change hes eyes in the 2017 movie
fun fact there are power ranger's comics they could make inro a movie or tv show
Kat had to morph to survive a fall but Tommy dove head first off the same cliff and was just fine without morphing. The always bothered me.
Tommy was Tommy.
Have you ever done a high dive? Tommy, while I do have to question his form, was in more of a position to hit the water. Kat would've hurt herself bad, and she did with her leg but falling from that height in the wrong way wont be without some pain.
The body armor in the original movie was much better design and it looks very high budget suite than the shows suits. I really like movies suits
The 2017 version was good. Only thing I didn’t like was you got to see the rangers at the end. I like the idea that Rita and Zodan were rangers.
I remember being a kid in the theater watching the 1st film. The CGI zords didn't really bother me. It actually didn't bother me until I was much older and decided to nostalgia watch it. As a kid you don't really look at these things. The only thing that did bother me was I didn't like rocky or aisha or adam and as a kid I didn't like the dragon zords. I wanted Zack and Trini and Jason and the Dino zords. And yeah when they moved past the ninja suits and moved to Zeo I stopped watching it as a kid.
And power rangers for me is always the original. Although I do like Tommy as green and white. If they are going to do it in a movie they got to handle it sort of like how they handled the netflix one. Something that I enjoyed and something the kids can enjoy. I don't need a dark edgy universe.
There is a reason why some good people thinks that Marvel did a huge damage on cinema. Most fans can't grasp movies without using Marvel as a measure of what a good story is when the shared universe formula is not the only way. Also, one factor of Marvel's success is that their movies had verisimilitude, the suits where believable (at least until Civil War). Spandex suits looks cool on TV as we watch the shows with a fair share of good will But is not the same for a feature film on hollywood. The MOS suit as all the early DEU suits not only look great, they make sense on a realistic level. Maybe they took the redesign too far in the Power Rangers (2017) movie but I don't think they should be blamed. To me, the 95 ones and the 2017s are both decents elseworld versions of the Zyuranger suits.
16:20 this would work and maybe not the super hero look has changed in the 2000s and the current date (2023) I would like the suits to be like the nana tech spiderman suit
You know, I'm not completely against it. Unlike some people, I don't mind the nano-tech stuff that much.
@@mintbariI’ve came back with a different opinion I’m mixed with the design of the 2017 suits I like the alien aspect of it and the armor actually looks like it protects people in the show the spandex looked like cosplay same with helmets search up Carlos Dattoil power rangers he made the suits perfect he made them look alien and have armor while not completely taking away from the original design
The 2017 film is like a multiverse and isn’t canon to the series far as I know. So the movie wouldn’t have to follow to Zeo and later seasons. Those seasons and characters already exist within the 30 seasons. They prove that by actors returning as thier characters like in Megaforce, Dimensions in Danger, Once and Always etc. I don’t think they even count the 2017 movie. Good video btw
I never said it was canon. But it does follow MMPR's general guideline so had this been turned into a franchise, it could be assumed that it would follow on with Zeo, Turbo, etc. It's an adaptation.
The 2017 film is NOT canon..... It was intended to be the first in a stand-alone movie universe completely separate from the show.
I agree with this whole video but man of steels suit was dope. Though it wouldnt work for Power rangers like you said, they need a nice simple "spandex suit" 💯💯
If you think it's dope, I can't stop you! This is why we have a comments section, can't always see eye to eye on everything but it's fun to hear what people liked or didn't like compared to myself. Thanks for the comment! 😊
I think if I were to propose a sort of "movie suit," I'd probably lean toward some middle between the armor in the movies and the spandex:
- mostly spandex, for the flexibility and agility that Rangers always seem to have.
- light Armoring on specific spots like the forearms (where they often block), maybe certain areas on the legs?
@TokuJay's recent tributes to MMPR are a great way to modernize the suits.
TokuJay's redesigns are the most faithful reimagining of the suits I've seen come out of anywhere, and that's not an exaggeration.
The 1995 armoured suits were absolutely morphinorminal.
I feel like, with what we've seen thus far, Jason David Frank's "Legend of the White Dragon" might just have the potential to be the closest thing we're gonna get to the perfect Power Rangers movie. And that's despite it technically not being a Power Rangers movie
I'm not going into it with any expectations like that. We'll just have to wait and see on it.
What happened to the power rangers and transformers shared universe rumors. I was looking forward to it. The morphing grid, allspark, the zords and Optimus prime. My inner kid was excited for the possibility
Rumors are just rumors. I don't these ones had any real credibility to them. People just started talking because of Hasbro making the toys for both. I mean, that makes sense but we never got a Power Rangers and Ben 10 crossover despite Bandai making toys for both.
i bought the 2017 movie and watched it was good sadly it flop i would like to see how they did the Evil Ranger arc
