Personally I'm hoping for the next game they just have the Final forms be accessed like the other forms a Rider has, they already have a mechanic in play to restrict the stronger regular forms(most of OOO's Combos, Axel form, Type Formula, Lemon Jinba to name a couple examples) from being immediately used, could use it for Final Forms as well, just with even higher restrictions

His attacks are just so meaty and satisfying, and the fact that you actually have to wait for the Signal Axe to light up green like in the show before you can use his Triangle + Circle special is hilarious. I kind of wish that Super Machine Chaser was his actual super form instead of just showing up for his finisher but oh well. Nice

Maybe they could have a thing where you can switch between the current final form system and one where you have permanent access to those forms but without the current system's benefits (vastly increased attack power and defense, infinite combo timer, etc.)

Honestly, I liked the tone of that trailer. It's definitely not a movie designed to invoke any kind of nostalgia, though.

It's back up on the Lionsgate channel at least: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-C4qqsgs8w. I suppose it did the job, because I'm actually interested in seeing it now. Cherrypicked teaser and all, but the cast looks like they work well together, and I liked the tone.

It's like a Star Wars trailer that was all Mark Hamill and Carrie Fischer, with zero Alec Guinness and James Earl Jones. Or, perhaps more appropriately, all Hayden Christensen and no Christopher Lee. They're doing the Lucas thing of hiring a bunch of pretty faces nobody's heard of and adding a select few People Who Can Act That You Know From Previous Movies in some important but limited roles, and they showed a combined one second of the latter. You got a second of Banks, no Cranston, no Hader, etc. Part of this is because Lionsgate will boil any project down to a "Teens Go In The Woods And Finds Paranormal Object" story. I think it's dumb that they're super strong in their everyday street attire, but I guess it's better than the old concept where literally everybody couldn't get enough of martial arts. And it's happened before; I remember when DinoThunder gave JDF the "superpower" of disappearing.

the original show was incredibly silly in many ways, but this is a nostalgia grab that tries to ditch everything possible that people might be nostalgic about. it seems like everyone involved is vaguely ashamed that they are making a power rangers movie.

It's MMPRTM with modern YA story beats replacing inexplicable skydiving sequences and a fat guy dancing the swim. There will be fewer one liners because it'll be taking itself more seriously, but whether or not that's actually progress is debatable since it's generally better when campy movies are self-aware. At least this time you know going in that it's a totally odd canon of it's own, and won't be confused like you were in PR96 when Goldar hung out with a pigman or they busted out radar visors and whips.

Yeah, what stands out most to me about this trailer is that it is 100% modern American YA tone and style. They don't appear to be trying to evoke nostalgia at all but rather capture the modern superhero/oppressed teen fads using a familiar IP.

You know what toku would have worked better with a modern american YA tone and style?  Think about it, it's already halfway there: A lone teen comes from a life of privilege which is ripped from him and his brother by a monolithic evil organization and forces him to fight for his life with his ~*special powers*~ to get his life and his brother back.

I don't think they had to go and be faithful to a T with this movie, but it would've been more interesting if they did a Speed Racer type movie and have fun with the concept rather than the more generic thing they went with instead

TFRazorsaw posted:Trini seems to have a personality for the first time in ever, at least. Trini is the one who was the absolute flattest character, though she had some things to her. She was tech inclined, fairly smart just not obsessive like Billy, and could be the more sarcastic and socially forward of the group. She also vaguely had some honor stuff to fighting but that was like an episode. And the problem is, to me, they're using the names, but they really shouldn't. None of these characters are anything like the season 1 cast. Now the season 1 cast were not paragons of personality. There's a reason why Tommy hit it off so well, as the only one who even had the illusion of depth and a rudimentary character arc that was given any serious screen time. But the others all had personalities. They were characters. Jason was always on, always super serious, had a bit of a temper. He pushed himself further than was healthy a lot of the time and put the weight of the world on his shoulders. Kimberly was a total valley girl to begin with, which you could easily update and make work. Zack was an actual character that had lines and poo poo. I can't comment on the new Zack, but it looks like they're taking more from Adam for him, and not even Adam with a personality Adam. We're talking season 2 almost never talks Adam. Zack was one of the most dynamic and fun of the original team, especially because of his flaws, and he wasn't as straight goody goody as the others. Remember he was the one who said gently caress you to Zordon and left first. And Billy Oh boy Billy. Billy was always a nerd, but in MMPR, he was a kind of super genius nerd. The kind you don't see around much anymore. He tried to do things, he just was bad at it. This Billy honestly seems like they just made him a Hollywood Nerd, while being an idiot. And, though it was only one scene of it, they kind of made him seem like the comic relief black guy. I really hope that's not the case. You could do a lot of interesting things with the archetypes from season 1 especially modernized. They seem to have just abandoned those entirely in favor of modern cliches. Which yeah, the original team were mostly cliches of their era- but that's why they could work NOW. What were cliches then, aren't really cliches anymore, and if you gave them depth and something to work with, you could easily make them very interesting. They aren't though.

If you actually go back and watch the series, Tommy isn't actually as cool as we all thought he was. He's really just a socially awkward dweeb who desperately wants to be accepted, and it's way more relatable. quote:Kimberly was a total valley girl to begin with, which you could easily update and make work. As much as a lot of the marketing pushed this, it's actually patently untrue in the series itself. Sure, she was fashionable, but she was absolutely not a vapid valley girl.

I think Power Rangers just kinda came along at the right time for America to accept something like that. Almost the entirety of Saban's 90s output is them trying to recapture the magic of Power Rangers and it never catching on as well. They even tried to make their own toku in Tir Na Nog!

Well Masked Rider wasn't as successful as they wanted, but VR Troopers did decently, and Beetleborgs was actually more popular than Power Rangers for a while, only reason Saban ended any of those ones was cause they ran out of source footage(mid to late 90's seems to have been kinda a bad time for Tokusatsu over in Japan outside of Sentai and Ultraman), as for Mystic Knights, that got canned more cause Saban ran into financial issues and they had to choose between it and Power Rangers, and PR won out drrockso20 fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Oct 8, 2016 |

He's really just a socially awkward dweeb who desperately wants to be accepted, and it's way more relatable. You're entirely right and that's part of why revisiting the show is cool. Also Tommy has one of the best super hero arcs across his various rises and falls as the Green Ranger. With Kimberly, the edge of the valleygirl persona is there, but it's overshadowed by her other aspects. Which is why I think she's a pretty good character, even if she's not that dynamic. She's not as socially forward as Trini was, often it was Trini spearheading the various nonsense after school stuff, but she did get involved of her own free will. She also had a serious interest in gymnastic that went beyond most of the others interests in Karate. She did choose to be a gymnast over everything else. And while it almost never came up, her parents were divorced and she dealt with that too. Divorced parents wasn't a thing that got brought up too often back in the early 90s, and if you read between the lines it only strengthens her character in how she isn't defined by it. There are more cynical reasons for why, but that's what expanding on the source material is all about.

The people comparing it to the Fantastic Four reboot are spot-on. Another one of these "reboots that might as well be an all-new product" type deals. Then again, when you don't show the suits, monsters, or robots, it's no wonder that it'd give that kind of impression.

Yeah, like four years after TMNT was the right time for a team of color-coordinated dudes to save the city with live acting and fights that smash buildings. MMPR worked but it also worked because TMNT seeded the soil and fans of the CBS cartoon wanted something edgier that wasn't as edgy as the actual Eastman & Laird comic. MMPR almost failed if Fox hadn't marketed the poo poo out of Green With Evil (which also had a pretty good adaption on top of it). You couldn't go a single commercial break on Animaniacs without a masked green ranger introducing himself and threatening to wipe the team out with campy Evil Tommy moowahhahhah laughter.
