What's happening to Power Rangers after Cosmic Fury? w/

Фильм және анимация

Recent news has come out about Hasbro putting a pause on the Lightening Collection, reboots, and other Power Rangers projects.
This is a video essay / commentary video on where Power Rangers, the brand is at. I have had several conversations with educated guests, including ‪@Hawkilles‬ ‪@TokuTopics‬, and Jinsakuu.
We discuss the Might Morphin Power Rangers comics, the Power Rangers toy line, the SAG actors and writers strike, and what a reboot will look like after Power Rangers Cosmic Fury.
This is my channel where I review Tokusatsu, including Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Power Rangers.

    I agree you don't have to get 40 plus episodes. Ultraman has been at 25 for a while, and it helps the budget a lot. However, IF you're starting from scratch more episodes you have the easier it is to set up characters. Which CF does not have to worry about. Since CF is basically a 3rd season of DF its not fair to compare it to other toku shows that start over every year.

    Truth to be told, Bandai not including Power Rangers within Super Sentai on their quarter fiscal results anymore was a sign of what was going to happen. Maybe it's me, but Toei deciding to commercialize their toku outside Japan was an implied fatal blow to Power Rangers' continuity as we know. Hopefully the franchise gets paused and rebooted as its own independent thing, but i'm not very optimistic about that.

    3:06 Don't give me hope that there could be a sentai suit that got skipped XD It would just be too perfect. Imagine DonMomotaro getting a quick cameo, that would be amazing! Especially if they keep his personality the same! Actually, no, y'know what I would love? If they have some kind of glitch in a teleporter, or if they do a small montage going to various worlds and then they suddenly do a bad green screen moment where they pop up in the DonBrothers worls like as they're doing a rolecall or something. That would fit the vibes of DonBrothers and Dino/Cosmic Fury so well! But I know they won't do that, so...yeah, don't get ym hopes up. The most we're gonna get with unused sentai suits is Heckyl's morph, which I would still love to see, but I think that's the best we're gonna get when it comes to that sort of thing.

Trust me, I’m a huge sentai fan so I would love it if they do bring in other unused suits, and if they do then that’s amazing! But I just don’t see it being very realistic, if you know what I mean.

    Man, if we only get 3 Cosmic Fury Rangers that will really suck. Hopefully that wasn't a decision made because of the backlash to the new original suit designs (I think they look great, personally). At the very least they should give us the 7 Cosmic Fury Rangers from the season; If we don't get the zords that will suck, but there's always the Kyuranger Super Sentai toy-line for those, so no biggy. But not getting the brand new, original, Cosmic Fury Rangers - designs that don't exist in super sentai, and as a result have no matching toys we can import from Japan instead - that would really really suck. I was also hoping we'd get action figures for the Dino Charge Dark Ranger and the Dino Fury White/Ghost Ranger, as both have cool designs IMO, and I'd like to be able to complete the action figure lines for those power sets, but with this news, it's not looking very promising at all. Most unfortunate. A Heckyl Lightning Collection figure would have been great in particular (Dark Ranger & Snide double-pack, anyone?). Was there ever even a Deathryuger action figure? Might be able to find that as a Dark Ranger substitute if there is one if we're lucky, but we're crap out of luck for the Ghost Ranger. Suppose at least for Zedd we could always get the MMPR Lighting Collection figure from a couple years back instead (though a new toy for the basic toy line would have been nice); If we don't mind forking out the heavy cash for it.

    I do wish for a PR reboot series because the PR franchise is a broken mess that needs cleaning up and fixing up. But I don't trust Hasbro because Hasbro has become woke, and their toys have become too expensive. Which is why I wish Hasbro will lose the rights to PR. I also want the reboot to start off with a non-themed PR team as a starting point (PR Denziman) because PR isn't just about on theme but many themes. Otherwise, PR would just be like Voltron, Batman, and/or Spiderman. I also wish the PR logo would go back to the original design with the lightning bolt in the middle.

    Yet no Toy company ever transitioned well into making just Video Games. Look in a video game store for TOY based video games most only can be bought a few years then are impossible to buy at all if Digital only. All the most liked Transformers video games have not been available to buy for over 10 years.

    @@Mark_Knight Hasbro is following the disturbing trend of wanting to be like Bud Light and Disney. I hope they go 100% into gaming, that'll be the final nail for them.
