if Saban going to make another power ranger movie.... would you want it to start a new season of rangers(like the Turbo movie), end a season, or be in its own universe (like the first PR movie)?.... or you dont care which one, just as long as theres a movie? lol

The problem with something like MMPR the movie was that it became pointless because it was nothing like the TV show. The problem with the Turbo movie is that it isn't a good stand alone movie. So I think that we need an original series of movies that are entirely separate from the TV show.

I think that a trilogy of movies with an original team, with original powers, suits, zords and enemies would be their best option. That way you could bring back the cast, powers, and even the enemies without ruining continuity, or limiting the movie series.

If they make a big budget movie it WILL be a MMPR movie reboot. If its a direct to video movie then it'll likely use the current team and be in continuity.

Yeah, because people are to ignorant to know that there is PR beyond MMPR. Just look at that "Pawn Stars" episode that quoted the entire series ran from 93-95.

It's not that people are ignorant. Very few outside this fandom have any real interest in PR past it's first few seasons. You can't expect most people to look up all these other seasons to find out things.

It's one of the main reasons we won't get boxsets here in America of anything EXCEPT FOR MAYBE the first few seasons.

But if the volumes don't sell well enough for box sets to be released in the first place... I wonder why they came out in Germany and not the UK anyway?

Being in its own universe is quickly ruled out. Any release should fit in with continuity directly or indirectly.

We never had a major release end a season yet. "Countdown to Destruction" would have been a successful major release to end Power Rangers in Space on a greater note.

I like to see past teams return to the screen for continuing their stories, much like what Star Trek did with TOS and TNG, either in direct releases or big screen, likely for teamups or major season events.

It was a canonical reboot...able to stride the line between reboot (new cast, new stories, new Universe...essentially) and sequel (time-traveling Spock)...so basically it pulled reboot-quel...

It would be cool if there was a new PR movie. We've had one that was just a movie and one that sort of seem similar to an episode where the rangers recieved their powers. I for one would like to see at least more than one ranger team in the movie. And it should be awesome! We can't have a lame PR movie shown in theaters. Then it would be a let down to the fans. Then they would think that season 18 would be a let down as well, which it won't. They, Saban and his team not the fans, would have to come up with a plot for the movie, characters, scenes, title, and music. It does take a long time, almost a year in fact.

Captain Platypus

My point was that Transformers has nothing to do with established continuity, but was still moderately successful (two movies and a third on the way). The idea that a movie franchise needs to rely on continuity is kind of wrong. Continuity is a great thing to add, but not absolutely necessary. It could be a standalone movie take on a certain arc, it could be a reboot, it could be a continuation of the established PRU, it could be a new starting off point or it could be a completely separate story. There are ways they can make it great and there are ways they can botch every one of those ideas.

If they don't have continuity, then they're going to be burdened with introducing you to three or five rangers and making you care about them in the span of 1 to 2 1/2 hours, which can take time away from the action; whereas if they DO have them in continuity, then they need to remember that this may be some people's first exposure to these characters. They don't want to be so familiar with them that they expect the entire audience to just know who these characters are and what their personalities are. Then it becomes the Ventaran Riders from Dragon Knight. You have no jumping on point.

This movie DOES need to be a jumping on point for a lot of people, while entertaining long time fans. I want to see an original story set INSIDE MMPR; Don't introduce a whole bunch of new stuff or continuity, but revitalize some of the look and designs, pretend that's how it always was and just have this one stand alone story that wont really affect the continuity. You can have a mini clip montage at the beginning that re-introduces the rangers and villains, then move on to an original story where they are ALL involved without having to do the whole origin. Make it simple enough that non fans can keep up, but make it so you can slip this somewhere INSIDE season 1.

You know what, fans have this whole thing about the second movie being Green With Evil, so let's slot the movie right before that, where Rita's plot is just a distraction and the end of the movie is her retrieving the Dragon Coin; making her a credible villain while not negating the Rangers' own abilities and setting up a sequel that's even bigger than the first. It's a jumping on point for new fans, it has a place in continuity without being burdened with it and it sets up a sequel that the audience is going to want to see. Ta da!

Transformers have just a huge sucess because too Michael Bay explore a lot well the Transformers and use all elements to make a two awesome movies of the Transformers, because i remember in the case of the Transformers Michael Bay as very criticm when he have a idea to make Transformers movie but they are really good accepted for the fans of the Transformers

This new movie of the POWER RANGERS i think they should be explore something of the past of the PR. for example made a movie about the war between Rita and Zordon or maybe moke a movie about Andros story in KO-35 when they battle the Dark Specter forces when Zhane sacrifice is life to save Andros

Rider Jetfire

If you think about it, most movies based on TV shows are eithier reboots, or made stand alone enough to get without seeing the show. One of the biggest exceptions is the first X Files movie, which was pretty set in the show's universe.

Plus, that is a movie for fans of PR, not movie goers. You slot it into a PR series in the collective consciousness and yet set it up so you never have to have seen PR before, you will draw in fandom and newcomers. If it succeeds, you make a new movie to follow up. If it fails, you have a place to stick it without having to work too hard

Has anyone actually looked at this? Seriously this is exactly what we should see in a power rangers movie. I was thinking something similar to this and honestly this is something that CAN be properly pulled off in the big screen. Yeah we have hundreds of other possibilities for a new pr movie but we all know the original power rangers is the most popular, would be the most popular in the big screen from any other series that people are unfamiliar with and need to have prior knowledge about to properly enjoy it. Green Ranger arc is something that has huge potential for an awesome movie and this would be a really good lead up to it. Captain Platypus you've hit the nail right on the dot.

If they do ad good violance good scare/thrills,,ect and not a copy of the stories from sentai aswell to the next series it would great anyway like anything out there again like smallville Transformer. People say it wont work well other then the spandex issues, thats rubbish.

Captain Platypus

07-29-2010, 08:54 AM

You know what the problem is with making a second movie about Green With Evil? The thing that made Green With Evil SO BIG back then was that it messed with the status quo. Before then, it was just Rita's monsters. Then, all those episodes in, they were fighting ANOTHER RANGER. If you just make that a second movie, it doesn't have the same impact, unless they change the story significantly.

Except it wont have the same impact no matter what. Status quo building in a movie is doable, but you really don't have that many movies to build up the impact of them fighting a ranger. Also, because this is a movie, you can't have the smaller stories, it has to be the high impact points. Instead of weeks to build to a climax, you have minutes. The other problem is that, while there are people who have never seen PR, the premise is pretty familiar right now, even with time taken, the sixth ranger will still lack that punch it had back when we were watching the first time.

Also, it's not a reboot. This wont be anything new or different per se. It's a snippet taken out of MMPR. I'm not super keen on adding the Green With Evil arc, but it's a major point in the show and where a lot of it's fans were made. If you want the audience to come back, you have to hook them with something bigger than the movie before. This story is the biggest one in season 1 MMPR.

Another thing I'd love to see is TV specials for PRiS chronicling adventures set after C2D and each a standalone. This would be super fun! Explore the PRU and have these crazy plots that the Space Rangers have to stop. The Space Rangers are really the best qualified for this format as they keep their powers, but don't have a primary villain or base of operation anymore

However we don't know when the Mach II was built and another vessel would probably be available in that space. Earthling aren't likely to be the only ones to have had a space colony. I agree with CP, a series to follow the space rangers after C2D would be awesome. Then we could also build the events leading up to Forever Red. Remake the Lost Galaxy team up and continue after that.

Well they can try make a new more but explore new things in the PR universe, well the climax of th all seasons are always the final episodes because when starts the final episodes because the climax starts always in the final 6 episodes where in all is decide until the final battle aganst the main villan of the season !!!

In the Green with Evil saga show us a lot this because that episodes are EPIC in the PR universe the Power team lost everthing to battle aganst Rita, the Green ranger as powerfull weapon of Rita arsenal because in that saga Rita introduce new villans and new zords, because for some reason the rangers ca ndefeated all, except when fights aganst a power as same of them, when they have Zords and Megazords aganst them, they can handle them for some reason, another example of as the Psycho rangers arc !!!

I think maybe the fans want more about the Space rangers, because they tell in the team up with PRLG they have to continue is mission in earth, but the problem is they dont tell waht mission is...

Zordon tells the rangers the "Power Chamber" always existed and Alpha are working in that possible in the Zeo Quests because they always know someday Rita and Zedd could made a attack like that even in PRT when the Turbo Rangers lost there powers is strange Zordon put the Power Source in Eltar because possible he as aware could some "Evil Force" destroyed forever the Power Source even the Black Box in Power Chamber with the secret codes for the Astro Megazord and hide the V-Zords hidden in a moon because Zordon knows someday Dark Specter the Leader of the "United Evil Alliance" could show up and even the "Millenium Message" as bring for Blue Senturian to warning the rangers but the message dont refers Astronema.

We can get them to do a movie If everyone is bothered to write into them demanding it.

The MMPR annerversy feature, I was trying to get everyone write to them to do it. Its failed miserably because No one was interested in it attall. everyone was saying they would never do it, the actors would never do, they never listen.
On the convention Videos on Youtube the actors say themselves you gotto keep writting in to them to do things, and also that they would do a reunion show some say themselves they wanna do it. Also this Idea Was Paul Schrier/Bulk himself from PMC1. Im acually trying get everyone to push it through to the writers. But everyones to negetive to bother try this out.

Write into them!!!!
