My favorite bit in Carranger was a villain who shows up halfway into the series who promises his plans will be far superior to the main villains. What's his first scheme? To convince the Carrangers he's reformed an idiot biker monster into a scholar, and then invite them to the monster's graduation where he will serve them poisoned wine. It's the most convoluted bullshit, and for once it feels like the show wants you to laugh at how ludicrous and circuitous the villain's plan is. What I'm saying is Carranger owns bones.

Literally The Worst posted:Those are literally the only distinct elements of the classic suit though you dolt Make them look like they always did, maybe use a different material than Spandex and definitely find a better way to hide the seams. Maybe tone down the color brightness, like in the early 2000s Superman movie but thats it. The audience is familiar with the material, they know what the suits look like. Even if you do want to keep the over-designed bullshit they'd have been better off using three of the chest diamonds instead of just one. I don't think that only having one is close enough in peoples minds to pop out as an original Power Rangers thing. edit: And maybe do something about the silver lips, those were always pretty tacky...

Marvel/Sony made Spider-Man's skintight spandex costume work in movies. Take that lead, maybe add some armor pieces on top like a typical Kamen Rider suit.

Again, that makes sense for a costume someone is physically putting on Not for a magically appearing suit that give you the strength to punch out a monster

How is spandex a more realistic option for magically appearing costumes than anything other than spandex? Also what the hell does realism have to do with magically appearing costumes?

I mean yeah if it's a magic appearing outfit, it makes sense that it has no obvious seams or zippers or whatever. I'm just not sure that's being accomplished with these new suits at all.

So, after having it bookmarked for a while, I finally watched a couple episodes of Ultraman on ShoutFactory's website. I was really struck by how the tone and atmosphere in episode 2 was actually fairly tense and menacing. Also, the way the Ultraman fight was shot was really interesting: very dark and sparsely lit. I particularly liked this shot.  It is a cool show so far, and I'm probably going to keep watching it.

Ultraman is, no joke, the reason we have modern Tokustastu as it stands, entirely due to his creator the effective creator of Tokustatsu, Tsuburaya. There's a reason why. It is a really goddamn good show and I hope you enjoy it. The episodes will range from comedies to just action fluff and one particular episode is pure dramatic goodness. I want to hear your reaction to Jamila's story.

Waffleman_ posted:Marvel/Sony made Spider-Man's skintight spandex costume work in movies. Take that lead, maybe add some armor pieces on top like a typical Kamen Rider suit. Spider-Man's skintight costume, in any given one of his movies made since/including the Toby McGuire ones, does not have the appearance of spandex. They take a lot of care to add little hexgrid patterns to the texture, and lack of seams and stuff, to give the appearance of a more space-age material. That, and a lot of CGI. The suit does not "behave" like spandex does. especially in the McGuire films, where it seems much more rubber-like. The Civil War Spider-Man is the closest we've gotten to an actually spandex suit, but you can tell it's been sculpted a bit, maybe in post, in some shots where his shoulders are like ridiculously defined. An actual spendex suit, like they wear in Super Sentai, as said above, looks really cheap. It works because everything else looks really cheap. Sometimes you can see the swords flopping around during fights because they're made of rubber. It's practically an aesthetic. It's not an aesthetic that would fly very well in the current environment of American cinema, outside the realm of parody. Mind you, it doesn't really matter, since the movie will be hot garbage and get panned by every film critic like the other 2 theater-released power rangers movies, and will only be seen by dire nostalgia addicts like myself. But you can see why they'd want to at least try and trick somebody into seeing "some superhero thing with Elizabeth Banks in it, weird," which is about the only way I can imagine a modern tween relating to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 1.

I really hope they change that for his movie, though I don't have high hopes for it regardless. But if you look at the promo images and stills for the suit design, you can tell that it is most definitely not spandex even in intent. It's weird faux armor-ish and the eyes are straight up mechanical.

Like there was even a a little mechanical sound to accompany the eyes narrowing. You're right that they decided to do that because that's a trademark thing Spidey's always had but they go out of there way to explain it being a mechnical part of the suit in setting so it wasn't just some weird cartoon characteristic in this (relatively) realistic world.

I didn't mean it was literally armor, just more like Cap's suit than the normal Spider-Man suits.  this is a terrible image to point out the finer details, but I'm talking about the more rubberized pieces like around his sides and on his arms. I also never said it was a bad thing- I dislike that it's purely CGI and I hope we can get a practical suit in the actual movie he will be starring in, but I never said I disliked the DESIGN of this suit. really not sure what you're flipping your lid about

Episode 3 of Ultraman: HENSHIN!  I was initially only going to mention this episode because the above gif made me crack up, but I thought this bit was genuinely cool. In the era of bulky kaiju movies, immediately after an extended sequence of a monster clumsily flailing through a power plant model, Ultraman rolls his shoulders as he squares off against his opponent. It's a wonderfully expressive gesture that really takes advantage of the Ultraman costume.

Assuming I'm right in thinking that the current season will end at 11 episodes and they're continuing the trend of doing the titles in alphabetical order that would mean we'll be getting at least 15 episodes in Amazons S2 (which would ironically make the complete series only two episodes longer than the original Amazon).

Assuming they're going to be subbed that would make this the 3rd Kamen Rider production to get an official release in the US (the other two being V3 and Kamen Rider: The First). Still though, this is pretty good news (though if it is true that would mean the show has been licensed and the fansubs would have to stop).

Waffleman_ posted:gently caress me running, yes. Space Squid Jiro Sato, 'nuff said I would take the Reporter's article with a cube of salt. Something like that would definitely have Amazon releasing english pages for each of these 12 shows (or at the very least, one english page with a similar announcement), and it honestly only seems to be a conclusion drawn by this one quote: quote:"We’re excited to add a great lineup of original Japanese programming to supplement the English-language series we've already created in the U.S.," Note that the Deadline article (from which most sources are quoting from) points out that the shows are for the japanese market. It's only really making western news because it's a large batch of original content produced by Amazon. e: article translating the Amazon Japan press release. Long story short, there's "plans to bring each announced show to Prime subscribers overseas". It's a one-liner that goes into no further details. This is PR lingo for "we're thinking about it" and it's about as finite as Hulu telling you they're working to bring their catalog worldwide "soon". Until Amazon US is willing to talk dates, I'd say don't think much of it for now.

In Power Ranger news, the first issue of MMPR Pink, a spin-off comic series focusing on Kimberly after she leaves the rangers, has come out today. Have not read it yet, but from what they've been saying and the quality of the main comic series, it should be good.
