Also because Blue Beetle owns. Edit: Also "nobody cares about (niche superhero) in 2016" is kinda silly in a world where loving Ant-Man made millions of dollars at the box office and Big Hero 6 was a large hit.

I like how you just glossed over Big Hero 6. You're really stretching for you "nobody cares about this character" thing, especially when said character is pretty relevant in a lot of ways in some form or another. (If just, at bare minimum, because Nite Owl was inspired by Blue Beetle and Watchmen is a pretty relevant comic.) ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 02:43 on May 28, 2016 |

Alright, we're getting a bit heated over stuff that isn't even related to toku now, so let's get this train back on the rails. Here's some backstage photos of the Red Ranger's suit from the Power Rangers movie. It doesn't look quite as bad when it's not in a lovely over-shopped render.

Literally The Worst posted:kaku isn't really that much more recognizable than dai, considering the suit footage was used for like twelve episodes, whereas the white ranger suit is iconic as gently caress I don't know if I can do much convincing, but Carranger is a much funnier show than people give it credit for. If you enjoy Sentai then it's definitely worth checking out. I would easily put it above Ohranger honestly. The villains look even cheaper and shittier than any other Toku fare, but that's all part of the joke. You're supposed to laugh at how stupid they look and how ridiculous their plans are. Which might explain why the first half of Turbo is such a goddamned wreck when it tried making monsters like this into serious threats.

It just looks even more like Iron Man. Like, so far it looks better than the promo art, except for one thing. Look at the morpher. Unless the morpher for some reason just unfolds into that mess of metal orange slices, that is the ugliest transformation item in the history of toku. And Jesus Christ, it looks like an infected belly button. Pro Tip- if you are going to have a Thing poking out of some one's stomach, do not literally put it at belly button range, and make the majority of it the same color as what it is in. I also have no loving clue why they have all of the blue lines over the red and white spotted body suit, that just makes the whole thing kind of hurt to look at.

You guys might be saying Ironman but honestly the strongest vibe I get from the suit is Transformers movie. Like the non-emphasized parts, the legs and belly and such, look like the "generic tech" parts that held together the recognizable car parts of the transformers.

You're supposed to laugh at how stupid they look and how ridiculous their plans are. yeah I watched a few episodes of carranger subbed and it was great. in the first ep an alien tricks the rear end in a top hat leads into becoming rangers by pretending to die and guilt tripping them. the antagonist's entire motivation is that he wants to impress a chick that wants "earf" turned into fireworks out of airheaded boredom. one early plan involves animating cars and poo poo to make them produce so much noise that it'll piss off the intergalactic community and make them destroy earth. two of the rangers have a petty argument and leave the mech in the middle of a fight.

Literally The Worst posted:that's uh You are crazy. It looks terrible. The blue lines add nothing but visual confusion. A lot of the grey parts seem to be there randomly. The pebbly undersuit and scaley belly imply dinosaur, but nothing else does. And the Morpher looks like an infected belly button. Once they add all the glowy bits in CGI, it'll only get worse. And "recognizable" my rear end. The only thing it shares from the original is the Morpher, which they shrunk and swirled enough to be practically unrecognizable, and the chest rhombus, which they squished up and made glow blue. suit looks like rear end

Literally The Worst posted:that's uh I want to see what it looks like after post production. Right now it's easy to tear into this thing- objectively I don't care for the aesthetic, and the morpher just looks really loving bad. Just, really bad. But the difference between a finished shot that has all of the effects intended and a behind the scenes photo like this is night and loving day. ANY fan of tokusatsu should drat well know that. I don't expect I'll enjoy it too much, but I'm hoping it works better than what this implies. The color balance is still awful so far, though the black around the shoulders looks better.

That's just going to draw comparisons to, at the very least, the original movie suits which is not a place you want to be, and leads to this kind of stuff right here. They had no way of knowing how much of an impact Deadpool would have, but in a perfect world I would have liked them to remake the original suits, modernize them and streamline the look, but in similar materials to his suit. Not simple spandex, but not overdone armor either. Something that'd let the stunt men move better. For as much as I hate the Power/Rangers fan film and its general look, the IDEA of how they did the MMPR suits wasn't a terrible one. Thicker materials goes a long way. Yeah that'd be pretty silly looking in the end, but it's still Power Rangers. Either own the silliness and face it head on, or else why are you even bothering to make it?

Just some kind of thicker material that isn't simply armor. The new Bat suit looks well enough. Yeah, you'd have people wondering why the magic tech that summons the suits doesn't make it armor, but at this point that's pretty much just part of what Sentai is. Why not own that? It'd help make them distinct from others. If you had to do armor, something far more streamlined would have been preferred, at least from me. Throw out the biomechanical thing because they're barely trying on that. The movie Guyver suits pulled that off way better. Just have something clean and simple that emphasizes the brilliant color balance of the original suits. Maybe move the morpher up to the chest. Also don't have a random gray strip down their stomachs for no real reason, especially if it's going to be the same color as the morpher and make it look like they have infected belly buttons, come on now.

It's a Power Rangers movie. You aren't going to make that grim or gritty or realistic. Don't be ironic or self-aware at all. Target the same age range as the original Power Rangers, use spandex suits, and just have a really good script with lots of fun and action. I know they have to change the suits so they can sell new toys, but just do a basic spandex suit with some business on the torso, like Power Rangers always does.
