Yeah, that's about what I was expecting, honestly. I asked my friend (half-joking) if he'd want to go with me and mock it and he said that he'd love to, but he's going with his girlfriend who's actually super excited about it.

That review lacks the willingness to cut through crap that a fan might employ.

Just sounds like it won't exactly find an audience with the general public the way that Transformers did.

But as a PR movie it's gotta be better than Turbo by virtue of no Justin.

I specifically remember PR fans judging Carter in relation to Zordon's rules, which really shouldn't apply to him at all.

The same thing happened with Conner in Dino Thunder.

I'm impressed at how bad Vypra's actress is at doing a villainous laugh. Was she so incompetent that the director gave up, or did the director just phone it in? Did she never interact with the voice actors of any of the villains? Is she just naturally incapable of laughing??? :psyduck:

Vypra's actress was not hired to act, she was hired to look good.


Specifically she looks almost exactly like her Japanese counter part, especially due to the film footage quality.

She was hired basically to be a body double so they could use the Japanese footage that had her character in it. Nothing more nothing less.

It's kind of sad but it's the truth. She might be the single worst actor in the history of the show and I am including child actors.

This sounds like a humorous reaction to someone in the after school detention group telling him to cram it up his rear end (assuming he's sperging out over crayons ordered by color or something).

That review is missing an important fact: Michael Bay secretly got the idea to make everything explode from the power rangers. Everything explodes when hit in the power rangers. Cardboard tubes, fabric, rocks, metal, you name it. If a moving foot comes within 3 feet of something it's going to explode into a shower of sparks at a minimum.

Did the US Scorpina just have such a terrible time filming one episode that she never wanted to come back?

I was just thinking a few minutes ago why Justin is so terrible and it occurred to me, they didn't hire him for his acting but because he won a juniors karate tournament. I think his career before Turbo was being in commercials as an infant and A Very Brady Movie.

It's more they ran out of footage for her and just continually cheaped out and let her be forgotten.

I was thinking about the lady that showed up to woo Adam in season 2. She did a good enough job that I wouldn't have minded seeing her a few more times instead of Goldar since they had to make alternatives to Dairanger fights all the time.

She had no more usable fight footage and they didn't want to make more.

Actually it wasn't anything Saban did this time around, despite what TF thought.

She simply couldn't keep filming for personal reasons and they couldn't find an actress to replace her in time for when they wanted Scorpina back, so they just dropped her.


EDIT: To elaborate, they wanted to keep using her because she shows up way late in season 2 with an American actress and a recreation of Scorpina's suit and weapon. They had plans and wanted her to keep coming back because she was a favorite and a heavy female villain, and they were already filming almost nothing but pure American fights anyways.

Just, yeah, the actress had to bow out after one episode and they couldn't find some one to replace her.

I'm unsurprised, though it still befuddles me how people get handed these massive IPs (TMNT, Power Rangers) and manage to gently caress them up so badly. I'm going on vacation for a few weeks so I'll probably go see it in my downtime though. I've spent $5 and 2 hours of my time on much dumber things.

edit: How many more episodes of Lightspeed are there? Not a fan of this season.

The people that put money up get nervous that they'll lose money, decide to play it safe instead of taking a risk, and end up losing money/making a modest profit instead of a deccent one by making the movies derivative and boring. I'd hoped that Deadpool could convince studios to take a chance on their IPs, and we might see that at one point, but not for a while.

I actually didn't mind TMNT2 that much. The 🐢 Bros are ugly as gently caress, Megan Fox needs to never act again, and the ending was kind of rushed, but it wasn't as embarrassing as the first one.

I think the only reason they kept doing the Rita over dub for her American Actress was just tradition and out of respect to Barbra.

It'd be kind of lovely to hire an actress who you KNOW you're only hiring for their looks, and then say "Sorry, you're not going to actually voice the character ever." without some kind of reasoning behind it.

Rita being badly dubbed is a tradition that I wish the new movie would have embraced fully.

1. I'm surprised a guy with an obviously evil name like Diabolico has standards about not attacking allies. That's a real Last Boss quality name.

Diabolico has such a great character arc. The entire backstabbing and intrigue stemming from a batshit Bansheera is also a great highlight of the season, it reminds me of the ToQger villains.
