No matter how hard you shit post, you have to give them credit for having the balls to use the cheesy stuffy, in a marvel movie you just get knowing winks and DC ignores it.
No one else would put 'go go power rangers' and 'make my monster grow' in their movies.

Sounds to me like what you wanted wasn't Power Rangers.

Man, just watch the Japanese tokusatsu movies. They're silly slightly bigger-budget theatrical versions of typical episodes, but they're pretty fun:

Did you ever watch power rangers. 3/4ths of the show was campy teen drama.

It sounds more like you didn't want actual power rangers, you wanted something else, and were disappointed.

I bet you're the kind of joyless faggot that approved of them taking out the voltron transformation too.

Yet that was the majority of the show.

I didn't get that she was sent a nude. Maybe I missed a few lines but I thought it was just a pic of her getting drunk and being all gross. But now that everyone said it, it makes sense


By the way, this was really fucking cool, how do I get into Power Rangers? It's like 2 different shows, how does that work?
>>
I think we can all agree: This is far, far from the worst Power Rangers have ever been.

Mostly because at least the rangers have character. Which is more than some entire seasons can say.
>>
>>91084181
I thought it was entertaining as a movie.
It was built on a fuckload of clichés but it also knew it was. Like, a lot of things were thrown in pretty much out of obligation to the genre but the writing and directing staff knew it so it was played at face value or quickly brushed aside.

The movie is essentially a Spider-man origin story with five Peter Parkers.

>>91085194
Nigger I fucking loved the power rangers as a kid and marathoned the first two series' before the movie

The rangers were all about being friends and accepting everyone and everything. The worst the "drama" got was one ranger being too focused on something for about 5 minutes.

That's not in the same fucking galaxy as sexting scandals and gay family dynamics

>>91085196
Fuck you, those lines would be great if the movie was fun and cheesy but it's not. You're letting single fucking lines trick you.

I get the impression people shitting real hard on this movie don't even remember watching the show or any of the movies.

Were they expecting it to be like the Transformers movies or something? I was actually worried it would go that route.

The problem, anon, is that the rest of us live in the real world where the movie was 90 minutes of obnoxious and decidedly un-fun teen angst followed by 20 minutes of Bayformers.
>>
>>91085321
The old power Rangers movie was actually pretty good.

>>91085287
She was as socially outcast as any of them at the start of the movie.
>>
>>91084871
It's not
They are lying
>>
All I've heard about this movie was some people bitching about the rangers having powers while unmorphed. No idea if it's true but I think the idea has some merit. I mean if some powerless teenagers that have only ever had the basic karate class you can take anywhere as training are able to take down Putties it's a wonder more official forces like the police or military don't take them down.

>>91084986
On the off chance they make a sequel I honestly would not be surprised if they got JDF to play Tommy again as a way to pander to nostalgia fags in a last ditch effort to "save the franchise", I mean it's not like he'd be expensive to get or anything.
>>
>>91084871
It's a 30 second moment with it never being brought up again.

Which is better than "OMG I'm so lesbian. Look at me I'm lesbian"
>>
>>91085358
as much as it bothered me how little time the rangers spent morphed in the original movie, looking back on it now I feel it was necessary.

At least it had Ninjetti moments in the meantime.
>>
>>91084181
My feelings on this movie were mixed but overall I liked it.

My biggest issue was that there were not enough fight scenes. You only have one fight in the whole movie where they fight together as a group morphed and then one short as fuck sequence with the Red Ranger a little while later.

Like, how hard could it have been to have had, at the very least, a longer Putty sequence?

Actually, a better thing they could've done was have Rita make more than one monster, instead of just Goldar (who was nothing like how he was in the original show btw), and sort of adapt the monster-of-the-week formula by having them fight another monster and a group of putties like halfway through the movie or something.

I was pleasantly surprised by them actually using the MMPR theme song and putting "Make my monster grow!" in the movie though. More superhero movies actually need fanservice and cheese like that.

I also really liked the intro, with Zordon and the other alien ranger, and Rita. That bit of expanded lore gives the setting a great cosmic, starfaring flavor. Rita herself was really great too, the best kind of hammy villain.

I am eagerly anticipating the sequel.
>>
>>91085397
JDF can't play a teenager anymore. The man is massive, tattooed like a biker gang and his face looks like he went through rehab (though just his face admittingly).
>>
>>91085397
In the movie Rita attacked Trini at her home and threw her into the walls a couple of times
If Trini didn't have basic heightened defense she would have died
>>
I wonder what Sentai fans from overseas think about it. I imagine most are confused.
>>
>>91085443
Plus, the new Power Rangers movie doesn't have Bulk and Skull.
>>
>>91085222
Power Rangers is adapted from a Japanese TV show. The shows are entirely unrelated but use the same footage.

If you want to watch Power Rangers, Just start with season 1 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. There's some lists online that tell you which episodes are filler and worth skipping, which I'd recommend using.

>>91085467
I guess I should say I have not seen the movie (Is it out? I don't know) and I have not been keeping up. So anything they've said about Tommy I have no idea about. So what have they confirmed about Tommy? Also keep in mind anything they said in a press release or whatever could always be changed later. What's said, shown, etc in the movie itself is a bit harder to change.
>>
>>91085196
How does that work in the new movie anyway? Do they just kind of gloop together like clay?
>>
>>91085552
Tommy isn't in the movie. S/He is referenced in a credit scene with just a green jacket
JDF and Amanda are cameos in a crowd shot
>>
>>91085062
Attitude = cool and badass in the 90's
>>
>>91085506
They redub power rangers and broadcast it in Japan, and there was already a power rangers movie at the height of its popularity, so I doubt it's confusing to them.
>>
>>91085568
No combining sequence whatsoever
They fall into a pit and come out as a whole megazord
>>
So did it bother anyone else that the Zord battle at the end was way longer than the morphed fight scene right before it?

Considering that the movie tried it's hardest to be Bayformers, but Power Rangers, the cynic in me just makes me think they were really trying to chase the Bayformers audience. I would've forgiven the direction if there were just more fight scenes.
>>
>>91084884
My name is Mitch
>>
>>91085568
There's some crunching and melting as they fall into the pit, it cuts to outside of the pit and they come out fully formed
>>
>>91085633
There was a lot more character development than I expected, which is nice and all but does cut down the amount of action we get.

I suppose they are saving it for the sequel
>>
>>91085613
As a robot enthusiast, that makes me angry

and at the same time it makes me wonder how the combining toy works.
>>
>>91085592
Ah, never mind then. Was about to say they don't have to make Tommy a teenager, I think in the original show Rita even went "Teenagers? Zordon I'm surprised at you!" when she found out who the rangers were, so her choosing an adult with a lot more training, experience, less mood swings, etc to take them down would also make more sense. Especially if once the brainwashing is cured he just becomes the defacto leader of the Rangers like in the show, more believable if he's an adult I think. I don't think they'd do it like the current comics with how they're questioning Tommy and feeling uneasy about him and all that shit.
>>
Rita made my monster grow, if you know what I mean.
>>
>>91085698
Had she given you a tumor?
>>
I really liked the movie.

It made me care about the characters and even though the ranger parts were severely lacking, I cared about what was happening to them and wanted to see them succeed.

It works for an origin story. If their goal is to make this into a franchise, then I'd say this works.
>>
I feel bad because I wasn't very familiar with JDF or Amy and I didn't really notice anyone in the crowd. Nothing really stood out as "Hey look at us"

>>
It felt like all of its scenes were just occurring in a vacuum. The narrative structure was terrible: nothing was sufficiently explained, there was no weight to anything that was happening, the plot was constantly stumbling over itself in a desperate bid to squeeze both trite teen drama and lackluster action scenes into its running time and I ultimately ended up losing interest because the whole thing felt like it was going in several directions at once without having any idea of exactly where it wanted to end up.
>>
Did the pacing of the movie seem off to anyone else? It felt like things were happening too fast but also as if they weren't happening as much as they should have been.
>>
>>91085661
As a /m/an, I was pissed too, although i was more pissed in retrospect.

Walking out of the theater I was satisfied with the movie. It's how a reboot should be done: New enough spin on things with nudges and winks to the older stuff.

The characters were a lot more fleshed out than I was expecting: Billy is one of the better portrayal of someone on the spectrum in recent memory, Jason was frustrated with his mistakes and loss but given a second chance, Kimberly used to be a bitch but trying to do good now. Zack we don't see a lot of, but he does daredevil stuff to escape the pain of taking care of his sick mother. Trini we see nothing except that she's the moody gay one, which is a shame.


>>91085690
Rita was a decent threat, with all that implied ripping out people's teeth and shit.
The choosing of Rangers were handwaved as "fate", but we do see how that turns out i.e. they are all fuck-ups and can't morph and Zordon is frustrated with them.


>>91085780
Jason Got in trouble for bringing a bull into a rival football team's locker. His friend thought it was a cow and milked the animal
Kimberly sent the nudes of her friend to a guy so he won't date the other girl
>>
>>91085780
They make a joke 5 minutes into the movie that Jasons friend milked the cow to calm her down, to which Jason corrects his friend that he milked "him. It's a bull. Did it have one udder?" The friend replies that it was huge and he had to use two hands. Then they agree to never talk about it again[/Spoiler]

Kims plot line has to deal with sending nudes of her friend to their boyfriend without permission and the photos get spread
>>
>>91085827
>>91085862
That bull joke was so fucking stupid. It didn't work when you realize that the dude should've been able to tell the fucking difference between a dick and some udders.

It really felt like something they threw in there, because they wanted the Michael Bay audience.
>>
>Worldwide $59,200,000 on a 100 mil budget

Yeah, I really hope nobody took too much stock in the 5 sequels thing

Hell I honestly can't see this doing better than Fant4stic
>>
>>91085884
...Honestly I thought at the beginning that it was Bulk and Skull.
>>
Something just hit me about the designs.
They're even more fucked up than I thought.
If the current toy is the Deluxe Megazord, there's no way that it will be able to combine with the Dragonzord in the second or third movie.
When the combining robots have always been one of the biggest draws of Power Rangers.
>>
>>91084871
>the "Trini is a lesbian" plot is "pivitol to the film series"
It's only there for like a few seconds and I seriously believe it was only put in because they could use it as marketing bait since it doesn't even come up past the one moment
>>
>>91085884
I fucking lost it (and so did everyone in the theater) because I wasn't expecti g it but then I realized it's a fucking Power Rangers movie. It was funny but i'm annoyed that they put it in a PR movie
>>
>>91085944
I almost didn't even realise that it was what they were alluding to for a moment, it was such a throwaway line.
>>
>>91085194
>3/4ths of the show was campy teen drama.
I don't know what Power Rangers you were watching (especially since I'm assuming you're only talking about MMPR) but the one I watched about campy fun when it wasn't Ranger fights and when it was about your so called "drama", it generally came from the villains having an evil plot or something, not the teen drama here
>>
>>91085884
I guess part of the joke is Jason's friend being an idiot.
>>
>>91085613
Does it remind any of you how we were shown splitting ground when Rita enlarged monsters in the series?
>>
>>91085966
It was. The whole gay Trini thing was bait to get some cheap buzz from idiot reviewers

Trini was the most underdeveloped of them all.
>>
>>91085321
>I get the impression people shitting real hard on this movie don't even remember watching the show or any of the movies.
Do you?
>>
>>91085933
Speaking of, I liked that Jason put the bully guy in his place but I didn't like how he had no real sense of humor either.

>>91085956
It was a stupid joke that had no business being in a PR movie, even for what they were going for.
>>
>>91085992
I dunno, maybe they'll hook her and Kimberly up in the sequel.

I have to say, I am relieved they didn't go the easiest route of making Billy gay because David Yost was.
>>
>>91085827
>It's how a reboot should be done
Nigga you can't possibly be serious.
>>
>>91086042
They probably don't want to stir up any more crap with the chink being yellow ranger and black one being black ranger, let along Yost being bullied for being gay

Kimberly will probably be the same romance plot with Jason and Tommy though
>>
>>91086024
Yep, what I was thinking. Save that joke for the latest R rated reboot of some show from the 90s like Chips (which is decent) or 21 Jump Street
>>
>>91084181
Was it THAT bad? Is MMPR 2017 remixed theme at least good?
>>
Tommy better do his attack shouting like his OG actor Jason did, along with his unique "its morphing time" inflection.
>>
>>91086167
>Is MMPR 2017 remixed theme at least good?
They play the theme for like 10 seconds before switching it to Kanye West's Power and that's all you hear it

There's just the opening chord before it cuts to Kanye.

Power Rangers literally has a genereal on another board, that's how off-topic you are.
Fuck off.
>>
>>91086098
I feel that's probably for the best. They can do something better with a Trini romance than Kimberly.
>>
>>91086197
You're thinking of Rita, in the movie she's the former green ranger. That's how they explain her having access to those powers so she can give them to Tommy in the sequel.
>>
no Ivan Ooze, no sale
>>
I haven't watched it yet, but is it true that EVERY SINGLE one of them is just, "Misunderstood social outcast teenager even though they are all extremely attractive people."

What the fuck was even the point of remaking Power Rangers if you were going to do the OPPOSITE THING that everybody loved about the originals?

Super Sentai will always be better. The only thing PR ever had over SS was Ivan Ooze, and Saban couldn't be fucked to put effort into this movie. He was probably too busy suing more Brazilians.
>>
>>91085117
IMO, the tone got better as the film went on. It was no BvS. There were plenty of jokes when the cast were being introduced and finally meet one another. And the training montage had some funny scenes, along with some nice bonding moments. By the third act, the movie goes full cheese.

I guess what won me over is that despite all the grit, it was still a Power Rangers movie at heart with all its cheesy friendship talk that's hard not to root for at the end.
>>
>>91084181
This movie was a ton of fun. I hope we get a sequel.
>>
>>91086315
>The only thing PR ever had over SS was Ivan Ooze
And RPM and Lord Zedd and Ransik.

I'll concede that Super Sentai might be better, but PR has more than just Ivan Ooze.
>>
>>91085633
>So did it bother anyone else that the Zord battle at the end was way longer than the morphed fight scene right before it?

I actually liked the fact that the individual zords got a good amount of screen time. The last Power Ranger series I watched just had zords transform right out the gate; making the solo zords pointless.

They all had pretty good reasons for being an outcast

>Blue Ranger
Literally had autism

>Yellow Ranger
Struggles with her sexuality and is never able to make friends due to always moving around. Probably also prevented her from developing her social skills very well.

>Black Ranger
Reckless as fuck, and has parental issues. Wasn't as well developed as the rest.

>Pink Ranger
She was NOT a social outcast, but became one because she did something awful and the popular crowd turned on her.

>Red Ranger
Also was NOT a social outcast, but everyone is bitter because he screwed his town's chance to win a football trophy, and people in America are fucking nutty about football.
>>
>>91086376
You got me with Lord Zedd, and I never watched RPM.

But damn Saban for being the jew he is.

>They kill a Blue Ranger

I almost want to see if Yost lost his shit, while pretending not to care.
>>
>>91085956
For me, seeing people get killed in a Power Ranger movie was weird. Make this a Marvel or DC movie and I wouldn't bat an eye, but seeing the Power Ranger being put in real danger was a shocking experience for me.

I thought it was okay and I'd watch it again if it came on TV or something. The last third was really hilarious though, my buddy and I were dying of laughter when it turned into a Krispy Kreme commercial and when Rita got slapped into space

Did you even watch the original show? None of them were social outcasts at all, show never even tried to pretend or say they were. Having attitude=/=being an outcast.

I feel like that was more Bulk and Skull's role.

>>91086757
The closest one to being "misunderstood" was Billy and that's mostly because he couldn't help but talk like a science textbook.
They were serial volunteers and pillars of their communities that were always working with children or setting up charities in the fucking juice bar.

>Struggles with her sexuality and is never able to make friends due to always moving around. Probably also prevented her from developing her social skills very well.
They didn't develop her as well as they could've. They should've made her more shy rather than just antisocial though.

>Reckless as fuck, and has parental issues. Wasn't as well developed as the rest.
Yeah, he needed more development. At first, I thought he was just the 'crazy' guy but then it turns out it's covering up the pain he has with his mom. Also, was it just me or was he just kind of a loner as well? Also, this is just me, but I would've liked to have seen him be a bit of a dancer as well, like the original Zack.

Also, how accurate was Blue's autism? I saw it and thought it was pretty unrealistic but I've seen people praise it for capturing autism pretty well so idk.

no, no it wasn't.

It was even funnier due to the "Alpha, find me 5 teenagers with attitude" and all 5 are squeaky clean, hell the only one that's vaguely out of place was Billy cause he was the nerrrrrd. Everyone knew them, everyone liked them, hell in the movie, they're so popular little kids look up to them.

Unlessssss, they were outcasts cause they had a blackie, a chinkie a cracker ass nerd and had two "popular" kids hang around with them, making the popular kids less popular, but that would be far too racist and real for the idealised world of Might Morphin' Power Rangers.
>>
>>91086776
That scene where she killed Billy actually got me. I wasn't expecting that. I loved how Rita was actually a threat and kind of intimidating.
>>
>>91086821
Honestly rewatching the series Bulk and Skull seem like the school losers that tried to compensate by acting tough. Early episodes gave them their own little gang to hang with but they were all unnamed and quickly removed.
>>
>>91086895
Except that can't be right either because everyone loved Zach, Trini, and Billy just as much as Kim and Jason.
Every time there was any focus on it, Billy was going out with a different girl each time.

Like hell it is. PR outclasses sentai anyday. The Nips themselves tailor-fit sentai so that the corresponding Ranger season sells well in the West.

PR had Space which is arguably THE best series of the franchise. We had Ranger reunions like Forever Red and Once a Ranger. The Japs even adapted SPD Red's Battlizer because it was so cool.

>>91086376

I shat bricks when I recognized that dude. He was Bennett in Commando. Ransik was a god-tier villain.

Not only does Japan have Ranger reunions every season

Not only does Japan have 10 years later reunions for their seasons

But I'm pretty sure America didn't do this

Also Once a Ranger was based off of Boukenger vs. Super Sentai

If sentai's hot shit, why don't people outside of Japan give a fuck about it? Only weabs would care about it.

Power Rangers was a cultural hit in the 90's. You had teenage superheroes kicking ass with Dinosaur powers and giant robots smashing monsters. It was like Voltron come to life. Any kid could find a Ranger they can relate to whether you were white, black, Latino, Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, nerdy, jock, a girl or whatever. Sentai is full of nothing but Japs and has nowhere near the rich diversity that PR has to offer.

I don't see any out-of-suit action with the previous Rangers like Forever Red or Once a Ranger did.

Plus I forgot about Tommy. Not only was he the redeemed Green Ranger, then became the White Ranger, his evil clone became the Green Ranger, the White Ninja Ranger next, got the Red Zeo upgrade as well as Red Turbo Powers. And finally became the Black Dino Thunder Ranger. Nobody comes close to Tommy's history of badassry and legacy as a Ranger. Even Jason only returned as the Gold Zeo Ranger, but had to give it back.

And let's not forget the time Tommy spin kicked a T-Rex.

>>91087546
Speaking as a long-time Tommy fan, I kinda have to agree. Jason defeated Tommy in the most epic encounter and when Tommy transferred the Dragon shield and dagger, Jason kicked ass with it.

I mean just look at Tommy vs Jason's grudge match.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILnnBJDTP10

Jason dual-wielding his Power Sword and the Dragon Dagger made every kid want to be like him.

I'm sorry but there has never been a big anime market in the US, it's why studios never aims for western audiences. Hell, it might be even be doing better right now on the west becasue the internet giving more exposure to more series and allowing people to order merch and other things, more series are getting licensed today than they were before and people are more prone to consumerism than they were before.
>>
>>91087684
Dude, Anime is slipping back to what it started out as in the west.

>>
>>91085224
These characters are shit though. I'd rather have bland trope characters that don"t pretend to be anything else than shallow fuckheads who try to be "deep" and act like their lives are that bad (well Jason's life got fucked up in the movie but he was a prick so fuck him)

Honestly, I went into movie looking for those social moments. I used to be all in for the action but these days, while I still watch it for the action, unless it has really good action, I'm more invested in the character and story because that's usually what makes me give more of a shit about the action.

I actually felt more invested in the Rangers morphing because of the time they took to develop the characters beforehand. With that said if they ever make a sequel I'd expect it to have more action.

He's kinda right though. PR 2017 was okay. Not a great movie but not really a bad movie and despite the liberties it took with the source material, it was also surprisingly faithful. Now that the setting and everything is established, the sequel should be better.

Zack was sorta cool. Liked how he was afraid of dying and leaving his mother alone. Though he was douchey for crashing his Zord and then getting into that fight with Jason.

Jason was a bro. I mean, at his worst, he fucked up and got arrested for what was just a dumb little school prank. He only really hurt himself. Reminder that he stood up for Billy when that bully was fucking with him and slapped the shit out of that bitch. Trini was a loner who didn't want to bother connecting with anyone since she was mostly ignored anyway and struggled with her sexuality.

Really, the only really bitchy one was Kim and at least she was trying to change herself.

As someone said earlier, I really doubt the total box office in the end is going to be higher than Fant4stic. I mean maybe if it opened #1 in the box office and had like a 90 million opening, you'd have a point but it's probably gonna top off at 130 maybe 150m

I thought it was more of a homage though, since the movie was pretty clearly inspired by Transformers.

I don't know how in one breath you can all see what a bad reboot looks like like BayTurtles, Fant4stic, Robocop and others and then look at this and be like "this is a real reboot right there".

I don't know how you can say that Power/Rangers parody was obviously a joke and not what the fans really want and then go ahead and say "yeah, this right here. This is it. This is Power Rangers." It makes no fucking sense

Max Landis actually wrote the first draft of the script and was notoriously butthurt that Lionsgate scrapped it, claiming they owe it to him to have acquired the rights from Saban and that the final movie ripped off "Chronicle". This is his pitch. Would it truly have been better?

>The Power Rangers are alien warriors led by Zordon and chosen to protect the intergalactic Eltarian empire from the malevolent Lord Zedd.

>Lord Zedd corrupts the Black Ranger, Rita Repulsa, who attempts to steal the Power Coins for him. Zordon traps her on the Moon and hides on Earth with the Power Coins and Alpha-5 when Lord Zedd attacks planet Eltar.

>Years later, Rita escapes and contacts Lord Zedd, who has nearly subjugated the Eltarian Empire. He sends Scorpina, Goldar, Squatt and Baboo as well as the Putties to help Rita find the Power Coins. Zordon finds out she has escaped and recruits a new generation of Power Rangers.

>Jason is the local troublemaker. Billy and Zack are his childhood friends, although Jason and Zack's relationship is strained by Zack's decision to join the football team and become a jock.

>Jason's ex-girlfriend is Trini, an overarchiever pressured by her parents into excellency. Billy, on the other hand, used to date Kimberly, an edgy punk rocker who returns to Angel's Grove one year after dumping Billy for Tommy Oliver while touring with her band. Zack is dating a cheerleader, Amanda.

>The Power Coins get mixed up and Kimberly ends up becoming the Black Ranger, while Zack becomes the Pink Ranger.

They could just make her queer. Sexuality doesn't have to be rigidly defined.

>Zordon is disappointed by the recruits and the Rangers struggle to become a real team, but eventually overcome their differences and manage to defeat Rita and her followers. Rita is then sealed away once again, but not before sending a message to Lord Zedd about how powerful the new Power Rangers are. Lord Zedd then decides to use the green Power Coin which he has stolen from the Emperor of Eltar to create his own Ranger warrior to destroy Zordon.

>Jason & Trini and Billy & Kimberly get back together and Kimberly and Zack decide to trade Power Coins as Zordon embraces them as the new protectors of the galaxy.

>Billy is pretty much the main character and Kimberly is the de-facto leader of the team. Jason and Trini are secondary characters. Zack is the comic relief and butt of everybody's jokes.

Most of the stuff with Zordon, Rita, Lord Zedd, etc. actually sounds pretty good. Everything else just sounds really 'eh'. I'm kinda glad with what we got, honestly and making Rita the Green Ranger instead was actually kinda brilliant.

Of course that is what the person would cite.
The only two Kamen Rider adaptations in the states were Masked Rider and Kamen Rider:Dragon Knight, which were completely unrelated to the point of having different companies making them.

Segata Sanshiro is way bigger.
>>
>>91087192
If you ever watch those two episodes the thing to consider is that they predate all of the misc special effects from the matrix and whatnot. All of those cool scenes you see that might not be as cool now thanks to cgi and everything else were INVENTED because the staff and producers gave it their all into those episodes.
They basically shoved nearly modern level movie cinematography into a power rangers episode.

Landis is one of those uptight nerds who doesn't buy it when aliens look human, so in the script, he specified that none of them do. Zordon is sort of an ET/Yoda thing and the head in a tube is just a projection he uses to communicate, Rita is described similar to a Xenomorph, etc.

Because Saban has made it his life mission to make everyone think he not only created everything about Power Rangers but the tokusatsu genre as well. He is notorious for threatening to sue anyone who tries to make anything in the same genre out of Japan because in his mind he owns it. Example of this is Chroma Squad, a game that's a huge tribute to toku shows as a whole not just Power Rangers but Saban still forced them to put his name and Power Rangers anyway to make people think it was only him that inspired it. Dude is a fucking dick and it's a god damn miracle we even got a few Sentai shows released outside of Japan on DVD the last few years.
