Saban Era II - What Are Your Expectations?

[DarkBlaze]

Saban does have a strong team put together, and even Nick has hope that the PR franchise will reach to the status it once had. However, I'm not gonna say everything Saban gave us was amazing. Like Disney, many of his seasons had flaws (even the good ones). All I can do is hope they've learned from those mistakes.

Power Rangers 2011 will be a direct adaption, while some big and original plans are already being made for future adaptations...

*runs away before people start asking me questions*

You didn't run very far now did you...seeing as you're right back in the thick of things...lol

I personally want to see a return to the un-morphed fight scenes (performed by the actual actors...but that's being nitpicky) and the complete removal of all those "special" powers so many of the Disney Rangers had...Ninja Storm's I could live with but eventually they just got more and more irritating...I guess that was Disney's way of showing fight scenes, minus any actual fighting...also some good humor would be appreciated...and some semblance of a cohesive universe...

[DarkBlaze]

Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, and SPD all had some pretty good un--moprhed fight scenes (even with natural/civilian powers). Granted, most of those stunts were performed by doubles but they were still good for the most part.

Thankfully, the PR2011 cast all has some form of martial arts/weapons experience. Alex is skilled in weaponry and stage combat, Hector has breakdancing and free-running/parkour experience, Najee told me that he has some martial arts experience, Erika and Steven both know marital arts. I hope they get to perform a lot of their own stunts, that's one thing I liked about the old seasons.

I prefer to call it the Super Saban era. This way your playing homage to the source material.

And what about Brittany?

Hopefully a human form for Buredoran next year. Didn't Gaoranger not have a human Big Bad, yet WF used the costume from Dairanger to make a human Big Bad? Human enemy in every season, so hopefully Buredoran will be Goseiger's.

Except Zeo and the first half of season 2...

And what about Brittany?

lol exactly what I thought

[DarkBlaze]

Everything about Brittany so far is a mystery. Outside of some photos that one would assume is for modeling or a photo shoot, we know nothing about her whatsoever. For all we know...she may be the highest degree in martial arts than any of them. LOL.

I'm a bit rusty on my old season knowledge at the moment, didn't Zeo use Rita and Zedd time to time? Thus, human villain in Rita. And Season 2 still had Rita at some point, so thus, still a human villain at some point, unlike Goseiger, which has none at all as of yet, thus Buredoran would make sense to adapt into a human, considering he's shaping up to be the Big Bad with three forms (depending on rumors).

I remember in the saban interview where he knew their is adult fanbase. So im hoping because of that, they'll add some continuity references in.

Rita and Zedd returned half way through Zeo after being chased off by the Machine Empire in the opening two-parter. But they only actually sent down one monster in that season - Impursenator in Rangers of Two Worlds. Otherwise they served more as comic relief!
