I wish the whole comic was in this style, this is pretty great.

Still decent tho, I'll keep reading.

>>78954482
Do the zords apply mass displacement when combining? The sabertooth tiger is barely bigger than the feet of Golder, and yet it then turns into an entire leg from knee down on the Megazord. Either it gets much bigger while transforming, or the T-Rex-zord is three times the size of all the other ones.

>>78954238
>the artist kept the Bandora Palace sign

nice

>>78954288
Why was shield almost never used in tv series?

>>78954723
Yeah, it was never directly stated, but it is the case.

The Tyrannosaurus Zord was always the size of the monster it was fighting, if it didn't change size the Megazord would be twice the size of the monster

>>78954288
I'm about to sound like a tremendous faggot, but I hate when comic artists/writers are so out of touch from Toku monsters like this. It looks like some random Hollywood monster, not like something Rita/Bandora would make.

>>78954933
To be fair though his legs fold while sliding into the zords, so it's maybe only slightly taller. Works for the toys at least.

>>78954998

Actual toku monsters are too "dumb looking" to appeal to an American audience.

>>78954123
>Not linking the song in the OP

Come on anon. There's even a bunch that have AL the themes too

>>78955169
Then don't adapt it.

>>78955292

They aren't adapting it, they're doing something different with the same idea. Which in this case is Power Rangers, but trying to be more "serious" by not having the monsters be stuff like giant pig faces that hate spicy foods.

>>78954312
Because yellow ranger is a male in the original japanese show.

>>78955361

And he's saying it's weird how they didn't take the chance to give her a skirt now that they aren't limited by Sentai footage.

>>78955501
Muh continuity maybe?

>>78954256
All these years later, Kim still wants that Dragon Dick

>>78955572
Obviously not canon, and if it is they took a lot of liberty with changing the whole atheistic so what's a skirt.

I can almost hear the squealing of electric guitars and that theme song. Thanks OP

Yo so I'm pretty interested in starting this. But I haven't read any of the older comics. Is this supposed to be a reboot? Or does it pick up from somewhere? Any help would be appreciated

>>78956322
>Is this supposed to be a reboot
Yes

>>78954256

Oh boy.

It was pretty sweet for a first issue, anybody knows if this is going to be the regular artist

THanks OP

What are the odds they let Trini drive in this series?

>>78954123
thanks. will be buying.
hope regular artist(s) stays for more than 10 issues.

>>78954998
>>78955325

Personally I think you can have wacky toku monsters in a comic and make them threatening. Just write them as actually threatening villains instead of jokey pun throwing monsters they are usually portrayed as in show. Sure some people might think its wierd seeing the rangers fight giant pigs, chickens and toads. But the monsters are one of my favourite things about power rangers. Along with the multi colored suits and combining robots.

>>78954238
THE VOICES

>>78957936

Plus its not like we havn't had our share of strange looking villains in marvel or dc comics.

>>78954359
I agree. Not bad at all and I will be looking forward to the next issue.

>>78955897
GO GO POWER RANGERS!

Thanks from /m/ OP

Cute

>>78954625

Dunno how I feel about the entire thing being about Tommy basically but still a MAJOR improvement over those shitty PaperCutz comics.

>>78958418

They might focus on a another ranger next issue, I'm pretty hopeful for this comic book series. I've already asked my comic book store to order the boom comic for me. Can't wait to see what comes next.

>>78954256
immersion lost. worst epanded univere.

>>78958418
>>78958500
Yeah this said it was comic 00 so maybe it will focus on the group more later. But I don't mind too much because Tommy was always my favorite.

>>78954288
>Not a toku monster

see, this is why I don't like the horrors in the first season of the Garo anime.

>>78954855
so is Rita just renting the place from Bandora?

>>78954147
Nice cover.

>>78954170
Shit art.

I expected this to be shit, but it's really just average.

So not too bad I guess.

That's what I've been saying.
She needs to have that toned down before she starts knocking things off of tables so she can cozy up next to Zedd when he shows up without stabbing him.

>>78958140
I may be in the minority but I really didn't like this aspect of post redemption of Tommy PR.

>>78962076
You're not, though until MMPR season 2 it was something of a given. Geki and Burai basically WERE the plot of Zyuranger.
Then after they started using Dairanger footage, they realized how much kids loved Tommy (Hint: it's for the same reason kids loved Vegeta) that they decided to use him more. Kids continued to love him, he continued to stay on. He decided to leave, so he left. Can't force an actor to stay on.

Then Dino Thunder was the first dino-themed season since MMPR 1, so they figured they'd bring someone back as a veteran character. Austin St John was off in Afghanistan doing relief work, most of the rest had severely distanced themselves from the franchise, but Jason David Frank didn't have a problem with it AND he'd been there for the Forever Red reunion episode.

Tommy is a perfectly alright character - a villain who becomes not only a hero but the hero with the single longest tenure of any of them, with enough powersets from his various teams to have a full team of 5 on his own - but JDF himself is arrogant and unlikeable in his public dealings.

>>78960908
I'm serious. It'd be pretty fucked if they ever showed he in a car.

>>78962226
Honestly, I don't think Frank is like that on his own. I remember up until a few years ago his con appearances were pretty casual and he said that he isn't tommy. Then he reinvented himself as an MMA fighter JESUS DIDN'T TAP GO GREEN GREEEEN guy. I think his agent or his wife is to blame.

Was Tommy piloting the Dragon Zord from the inside?

Did he even do that in the show? I thought he used the Dagger to control it. I remember because I had the toy.

Dino Thunder was the last one I watched regularly, came back when everything got on Netflix. Jungle Fury and RPM did not disappoint.

Get outta here, /ssg/! We're trying to have a good time over!

>>78965625
Here in the Third World we had both at the same time. Fun times.

>>78965591
Both Jason and Stone Cold named themselves after the Six Million Dollar Man.

>>78958140

If they make Tommy the leader of the team I'm done with this.

As a Sentai fan with only a faint recollection/nostalgia for PR, I still dug this issue. It isn't amazing, but it was fun and they hired great artists for it. I almost want to financially support it just because it isn't Big 2.

I won't expect the book to handle anything deeper than the plot itself, but that's probably the way it should be - toku isn't known for that and I'd be silly to expect otherwise.

>>78965349
In Space was probably the best time to quit, but I stayed on through Wild Force; I should have just left at Time Force.

>>78965832
Do you not like him that much? Anyway he's the green ranger not the leader until Jason leaves. Not that it actually matters.

>dat feel when the simple glance at the cover makes you hear the guitar riff in your mind

Which PR seasons are considered the best ones? I only vaguely remember the first season as a kid but I recently got into Sentai and Kamen Rider so it's sparked my interest again.

For lack of better terms, Ranger music is rockin' while Sentai music is groovy. Agree/disagree?

>>78965916
He was made leader as soon as he turned White, IIRC, and Jason was still part of the team for a while. I remember it being awkward.

Well, her Zyuranger character was pregnant with Goldar's kid

>>78965970
Unless you're Dairanger and just steal Star Wars' music.

>>78965970
Ranger music sucks except for a few select themes.
Sentai music is the same.

I stopped at Operation Overdrive because that's when I lost interest. Other than that, I stuck with the series and still think In Space was my favorite.

>>78965970
Sentai music is more symphonic.

>>78966031
Oh boy, you missed RPM, that shit's good

>>78965964
I'd say Lost Galaxy, In Space and Time Force for a personal top three.
Also enjoyed SPD, Dino Thunder and RPM.

>>78965916

>Do you not like him that much?

He is alright.
I never understood why he had so many fanboys tho.

>>78966031
I skipped OO, but Jungle Fury and RPM brought me back in.

>>78966089
I feel like SPD doesn't get enough credit. RPM, Time Force, and In Space always get love, and I've even heard more from Dino Thunder fans than SPD.

>>78966089
RPM is actually better then it's Sentai equivalent Go-Onger.

>>78966108
The Wolverine effect. He's the "badass" who used to be a bad guy and is more powerful than the average member of the team.

>>78965971

That was a big let down for me as a kid since I always prefered Jason.

Also, to me, Red rangers should always be the leaders.

>>78966136
Jungle Fury's alright. The plot is shit but it's got some pretty charismatic characters.

Disney PR > Saban PR

Jungle Fury was decent. I saw it when it was being marathoned on Nick once. Time Force is another good one.

>>78966234
Eh, I'd have to agree until Dino Charge is finished. So far Dino Charge has been top tier, the first good PR Nick Saban has given us.

I really liked Ninja Storm

>>78966360
Ninja Storm with those power spheres. I'm sad because my Mini-zord broke.

>>78966149
That's more the Vegeta effect, since Wolverine didn't start out a villain for most people. Sure, he was tasked with taking Hulk down, but everyone does that.
>>78966158
But then you miss out on Jen in Time Force
>>78966193
JF has the best fights, morphed and unmorphed, of the entire series. The Spirit Ranger fights, which were entirely original since the Spirit Rangers didn't exist in Gekiranger, were top-tier

>>78966324
>So far Dino Charge has been top tier,
it's "good" not top.

>>78966360
Favorite suits, favorite extra Rangers, favorite theme
It was a great time to be me when that shit aired

Lost Galaxy was another good one. Magna Defender scene always got to me when I was a kid.

Go-busters was the best

>>78966234
Pre-Disney Saban was better. There are enjoyable and crappy seasons in both companies' times.

>>78966515
I wish Go-Busters had been adapted in some form instead of completely skipped. Saban's going to skip Toqger too in favor of getting the Ninjas faster.

>>78966234
In Space, Zeo, and Lightspeed Rescue shit all over every Disney PR

>>78965665
that's exactly what PR does though.

>>78966139

They are both good for different reasons. They aren't really comparable.

>>78966447
Sally Martin is still the hottest ranger to date. And that's an accomplishment because there's a lot of hotness in this franchise.

>>78966515
I hate that Saban skipped Go-Busters. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with ToQger after they finish up with Kyoryuger.

Zeo wasn't great, and Lightspeed Rescue was average. Saban had In Space, Lost Galaxy and Time Force, whereas Disney had Dino Thunder, SPD, Jungle Fury, and RPM. Hell, you can even make a case for Mystic Force and especially Ninja Storm. Basically the only actual blemish on the Disney era is Operation Overdrive, whereas the early Saban era was the drizzling shits held up only by nostalgia.

Gee, Billy, thanks. Helpful.

>>78966783
So they actually are skipping ToQger and going straight to Ninninger? That sucks.

>>78966783
What's with putting "Super" on the second seasons? It sounds like shit. Is there some financial hoodoo involved not to name them S2s?

>>78966842

Mainly as a result of Nickelodeon's retarded season policy.

why is Boom doing a comic with actual geometric shapes and hard lines?

>>78966911
What is their purpose for even doing that?

>>78966864
What's people's problem with Wild Force? I only watched it as a kid but I remember liking it and the forever red was awesome if nonsensical. Like good toku should be.

So is there a series boom has that could do a good crossover with Power Rangers?

>>78966869

Kids love ninjas, and Americans don't care about trains the way Japan does. Still, it's strange that Toei is suddenly so lax about the whole "adapt every Sentai" thing.

>>78966869
There's no way Saban or Disney would do ToQger.
Kids old enough to watch Power Rangers in America just don't like trains. The only kids media in America involving trains is Thomas the Tank Engine.
Also, it's a very kiddy series. If Sentai is light shonen, Kamen Rider is dark shonen, and Garo is seinen, then ToQger is kodomo.

Power Up! accuses them of stealing their gimmick.

>>78966938

Only Nickelodeon knows, and they stopped knowing what they were doing about a decade ago.

>>78966970

There was some wooden acting, resulting from them bringing in Japanese directors like Sakamoto to direct episodes. Which ties in to the other big gripe: it's basically just a 1:1 translation of Gaoranger, when the big draw of Power Rangers now is that it takes the Sentai footage and does something new with it (though it's not as bad is this respect as Samurai).

Has its moments but it's overall pretty bad, fampai. I enjoyed it in its time.

>>78967251
It's not in the 90s.

in comparison to other kids shows, how do you feel that Power Rangers stands

In the early 2000's - 2008, despite what some people say about that era, I feel that Power Rangers stood up high with some of the big name kid's shows, only really ever beaten out by the likes of Justice League and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But Power Rangers now? Even with Dino Charge being "decent" it still just feels like it's just "there," not really much of a reason but to take up space. it honestly it feels like one of those moments one might say "Why watch this, when there are better kid's shows out there." Power Rangers now just feels like it is only just hitting the "check-box." [SPOILER]I mean, when a little girl's show has the main character a prison baby, you know you need to step your game up.[/SPOILER]

But enough about my thoughts, where do you think Power Rangers stands in the kid show hierachy

Normally when someone says "Nostalgia Tier" their basically saying we only think it's good because we view it with rose colored glasses.

>>78967289
There was, is and always will be a place in kids' media for martial arts action shows. I mean, TMNT's still going strong.
But I'd have to look at ratings and toy sales and all that to get a real grasp on it. Or I'll ask my friends who are in elementary ed if kids still like Power Rangers.
>>78967350
Wasn't Sun Vulcan a satire season?

taking bets on when they will give the original MMPR Rangers Battlizer armors just to fuck with the nostalgia fans.

>>78967422
Sun Vulcan was a series made as a sequel to the series before it called Denjiman because Denjiman was pretty popular back when it was airing.

you can tell alot by the products they put out.

>>78967574
I think Japan did find it inferior than the original source material that they saw before MMPR appeared, but they do appreciate what it does.

>>78967574

Unless people can bring up specific numbers, at best it's a niche product for Westaboos (unless they need to make fun of it like in Akibaranger). Nowhere close to the popularity of Sentai, even now that it's taken a dip.

>>78967618
the Japanese LOVE power rangers. Alot of the sentai actors come in and repirse their roles for their Power Rangers seasons at times.

>>78967574
S.P.D. was popular enough that they actually got Dekaranger's main actors to voice their color counterparts for the Japanese dub.

>>78967574
only like a few seasons aired. the first movie and I think like space - light speed. Samurai, SPD, and Mystic Force were dubbed on Toei's on demand...

>>78967289

Power Ranger's problem is that it's to tame and generic to be entertaining right now. They didn't even want the Rangers to have personalities in Samurai and Megaforce.

They had all this hype about owning the franchise again and they botched it because they put as little money and care into Samurai as humanly possible. It was just stilted translated watered down scripts attached to wooden acting.

And Nick didn't start with the first episode for whatever terrible reason... It was going to blow up in their face and it really did.

I know Tommys actor is kind of a cunt now.

Like, that suit he wore in Super Mega Force? He cut it up into post-it-notes size squares and sold it to fans.

>>78967952
Apparently they did not get along.

Still don't, if what I've heard was true. Jason David Frank apparently never let what Austin claimed was childish bragging go.

But then, Tommy was always cooler.

>>78967952
Supposedly Austin St John was at a con talking to someone there who asked a question about fighting someone with long hair, to which Austin referred to as a "bitch grip", and Jason David Frank saw the clip of this on Youtube and took offense to it due to his time having long hair while filming MMPR and Zeo. As far as I know the two of them haven't patched things up yet.

>>78968021

Actually it was just the producers of the show who did that. His costars supported him.

If you read the interview with the one kid from Dino Thunder the man was fucking unhinged. He would constantly try to start fights with the kid that played Conner and was a general ass on set.

I still don't get how In Space can be god tier.

The writing and the story was fantastic but oh god the acting was the drizzling shits.

I'd imagine a god tier series would have both good acting and good writing/story which both RPM and Time Force has.

But then, I'm in no place to really judge having not watched every season

I watched up to In Space then stopped, then picked up again during Time Force when it became a guilty pleasure while I was baby sitting then stopped again.

Then I would watch years later when I heard RPM was supposed to be the final season.

Good to know the 2 seasons I stumbled upon are both seen as the best of the franchise.

>>78967598

>>78968335

I really hope there are some nice character focus issues. Things are a bit vague at the moment of Tommy is hearing the actual Rita or if its some kind of PTSD but I think either way it's a really fun hook and if it is PTSD it does a lot to flesh his character out right off the bat.

Higgins is a pretty good idea guy and I think he'll do well in a book with no editorial bullshit mucking things up.

Well, considering the guy is not an actor, getting some money on the side from his past fame doesn't seem too bad to me.

I don't know how that is cherry picking? I mean, the whole point of the original point was that TMNT has more variety.

What, Power Rangers panders to MMPR...that's about it.

TMNT has done high quality figures for: the platinum movie, Nick turtles, Mirage stuff, some things not based on an iteration (Good Smile statues, The "First Turtle" figure by Mondo, and Three Zero is teaming up wtih Kevin Eastman to provide some figures on some old concept art.

You might be confused by the fact that Wesley is actually Sky's father.

It had some of the best storytelling and acting in the entire franchise. The scene between Edward Albert and Jason Faunt when Wes's helmet is broken is one of the most memorable PR moments in terms of actual drama.

I was watching the feed for last year's Power Morphicon (or the year before) and they had these little documentary-style things with interviews and shit, and one of them was all about the prop department.
That's when I learned probably my favorite thing about SS/PR as franchises: the morpher toys ARE the morpher props.
On the one hand, that means you can get a new prop if there's an accident by driving to the nearest Wal-mart.
On the other hand, that means your kid isn't getting a hilariously oversized version, or a hilariously undersized version. He's getting the real thing.

idk i feel like if the people who employed you bullied you it be worse than if the people who work with you did. bc if it were people you work with, you could talk to employer and they could resolve, but since its emplyer, no one can resolve.

Honestly, in the wake of the Neo-Saban era, it's hard to call In Space's acting bad.

The thing is that with most of those early seasons of Power Rangers, while many members of the cast weren't exactly great actors, they had some charisma that meant it wasn't painful to watch. I'd include In Space with that. Yeah, Andros, Ashley and Zhane weren't great, but they were still likable. And Astronema/Karone chewed the scenery, but she was such a qt3.14 that you didn't care (seriously, watch the bloopers at the end of each In Space episode, she's having a great time).

If you watch Samurai, you get the distinct impression that none of the actors want to be there, as they all vaguely stare into the middle distance.

They sacrificed good actors for okay actors with some athletic ability so they can do fight scenes without the helmet.

Nah, the problem is that he's too fully embraced his role as the franchise ambassador to the world.

A few years ago when Rick Medina stabbed a crazy roommate to death with a sword (Australia = no guns), in what court agreed was a case of self defense, JDF was on Twitter the night the event happened talking about how much damage he was doing to the brand. No need to wait for a trial or anything.

>And Astronema/Karone chewed the scenery,
I feel like this is a buzzword for anything that isn't MTS3K-style "Dull surprise" and mumbling your lines

>>78971246
That was like last year, also Rick Medina lives in LA

I have to admit, this wasn't half bad.

>>78971449
I'm not saying she didn't overact, just that a lot of people on 4chan seem to be under the impression that completely invisible emotion is the only true acting method

What, is fucking wordfiltered now? Smh desu senpai

>>78971624
Shit might be

>>78971624

I know that T B H now becomes desu, and F A M becomes senpai.

Something is being filtered into "Drizzling Shits", I'm guessing, unless one anon just really likes that phrase.

>>78967146
The original MMPR was shit bro. I tried rewatching it on Netflix and it's just god awful. Aged like milk.
