What'd you think of that new Power Rangers movie?

>>15351200
Not gonna watch, doesn't look like there's enough action

>>15351200
Kind of sad that they had a 30 year old play a teenage kid.

it'd be cool if america stops ripping off other countries while claiming they'll uphold copyright laws

Disgusting

Heard he is going to make a cameo, can't say I am excited to see his midlife crisis on screen.

>>15351214
When is this new? They always use older people to play teenagers.

This organic scrapyard shit is such a turnoff. The charm of the Zords is that you actually buy into the fact that they combined together, even though the Megazord suit looked boxy as shit, I could still buy into the fact that gattai happened.
It was fucking cool when you actually assembled the Megazord with the toys.

Fucking shit. 2 hours of build up for 10 minutes of mediocre action at the end. Entire movie feels overly dramatic and all off the dialogue was written by out of touch middle aged execs wearing backwards baseball caps. Rita is a shit tier villan and the only enjoyable rangers to watch are blue and black. To the writers autistic just means likable character. All of the weird jump cuts make it feel like the movie is 10 different movies cramped together into one cancerous montage. I swear the most frustrating thing though is just how little action there is and how underwhelming it is when you see it. They only fight in their suits for 3 MINUTES TOPS against fucking grunts, before they jump into their zords. They fight in the separate zords for most of the action and you'll see the megazord for like 5 minutes where it's hard to even tell what's on screen. It's frustrating because there are moments in where you can see glimpses of something good under the piles of gold and shit, but it's just not enough. Everything gets dragged down by how serious they try to be.

postive shit though is
the dynamic between red and blue is goat
black ranger is fun to watch
they play the theme when they get first get into their zords and it's probably the only moment in the entire movie where you'll feel genuine hype. The song stops after 10 seconds though and kanye's 2006 smash hit POWER kicks in and shit just goes downhill from there.

>>15351613

Why does Oshii's opinion matter at all?

Find Shirow and actually get him to grant you an interview for the first time in like two decades, then I'll care. That is, if he actually is still alive out there and hasn't been replaced by a series of ghost writers like everyone thinks.

>>15351406

This was my biggest fear seeing all the trailers and I'm glad I was right

>>15351200
Terrible suit design, terrible mech design.

>>15351887
It's basically a longass episode

>>15351612
Civilians. They just took pictures of the megazord when all of the action was over.

>>15351889
I could live with the suits if it weren't for the helmets looking so samey.

>>15351854
Shirow wrote a series called Mobile Armored Riot Police. The series people would be asking him about is something called Ghost in the Shell. He doesn't give a shit.

The real answer is that
a.) He has spitballed a series called Neuro Heat that was basically GitS set in New York, so that Americans would like it since it would have an all white cast
b.) He's too busy drawing greasy banana boobs to give a shit about any of this anymore.

As far as Oshii's concerned, the GitS movie looks like what a Japanese person would assume an American movie would look like (white people, guns, explosions, little to no real plot), so it looks like what they'd expect to see.

I liked that they actually had to control the separate parts of the robot, and had struggles doing it instead of just "well, we're magically able to perfectly synchronize," but I felt that they resolved this too quickly and had synchronization way too good for 5 teenagers who just got in a combined robot for the first time when they did that back crush move. I also liked that the Gurdian Beasts/Zords actually got some screen time fighting instead of showing up and immediately combining. I was pretty disappointed by the lack of action, but what was there did look pretty cool, and hopefully the 5 FUCKING SEQUELS will have more action now that the origin story part is done. Overall, I thought it was actually pretty enjoyable, despite it's flaws.

>>15351854
Shirow only cares about drawing girls covered in oil

I can't see the movie their helmets being off in the Zords triggers me way too much.

>>15352092
>I also liked that the Gurdian Beasts/Zords actually got some screen time fighting instead of showing up and immediately combining.

Power Rangers was basically an advert to trick idiots into buying crap toys. Now those idiots have grown up and are still being milked by a faintly related movie of the adverts.

>>15355126
>I mean, he's not fucking dead right?
ummm....
maybe.

Honestly, the more and more I think about this film, the more and more it upsets me as it does. Screen junkies I believe said it best, other films have done what it set out to try to do but much better.

As an origin film, it seems like it tries way too hard to try to set up a franchise (it is like Ghostbusters 2016 in this case) and when it tries to be character driven, it only gives you a tiny glimpse into its finite possibility (like Trini) but as a film on it's own, it doesn't give what it sets out to do a conclusion.

A story should have a beginning, middle, and an end. But here the problem is that it only cares about the beginning, and somewhat of a middle, but the ending has not been written. Looking at this film as something self-contained, it leaves me wanting more. Making a comparison, it is most definitely like Digimon Adventure Tri part 1. It tries to make me want to have "more" with the later installments, but since that is two (?) years away at least, it will be along while before it grabs my attention (movie 3, if we go a literal comparison of Adventure Tri)

The film makes me want to desire more, but not in the good way.

>>15351476

Guess they didn't need quality control for a thing like that.

>>15351406

>>15355156
Fuck them, Tri isn't attempting to be a film it's just an anime season released in film format. It's basically an ova but they show the batches of episodes in theaters rather than just sell a Blu-ray.

Don't drag Tri down by comparing it to a sequel grab movie.

>>15355336
Everything, and I mean everything, is planned with a cinematic universe in mind these days.

What I didn't like about the movie

>Zordon's personality got completely changed. He's no longer a wise mentor, he's a selfish asshole who has no faith on the new rangers
>Kanye West's POWER plays during the Zords' fight scene, not the MMPR theme. The MMPR theme only plays for 16 seconds when the rangers get on their zords, before the battle.
>No poses
>No random explosions behind the rangers
>Goldar doesn't explode when defeated
>Actually, Goldar's defeat made no sense, they just stab him once and he dies even though it was made clear previously that he can regenerate
>Could've replaced Billy's bully with Bulk and Skull

What I did like
>Alpha is pretty based. He's excited about the new rangers and has faith on them, unlike Zordon. He's also strong and trains the rangers
>The characters were alright and their interactions were fun. Billy was the best character
>The zords looked pretty good in motion and we get to see them all being useful individually before forming the megazord
>The megazord slapping Rita
>Rita was pretty bland, but she was threatening and pretty damn powerful, so I guess that's fine for a villain

>>15355288

You only get a heavily processed version of the iconic theme for like ten seconds when they board the Zords. The actual fight tune for the Megazord is fucking Kanye West's "Power."

I'm not kidding.

>>15351854

Why would whatever cabal want to fool the world in to believing a manga artists was still alive? Why would they do it by hiring ghost writers to primarily concentrate on porn comics?

There's a rumor about it being a 6 movie arc, does the story even set up for that?

>>15357572
>The actual fight tune for the Megazord is fucking Kanye West's "Power."
False. That song is used when they're fighting int he Zord separately. The Megazord just gets some instrumental score as backup.

Well, Rita isn't dead. The sixth ranger has been teased, and a big plot point is the "Zeo Crystal". Rita also warns the Rangers that "others will come" for the crystal, and that they haven't truly won. So yeah, I'd say there's enough setup for plenty of sequels.

>>15355618
It is literally that. Digimon Adventure already went through its story, had a tacked on sequel that was generally crap, and now years from now has nostalgia cashgrab sequel.

Here's hoping for a sequel with Finster as the main villain, sending out waves of redesigned monsters from the original series.

Hopefully all not designed with the same mindset as Goldar aka based on Chocolate fountain.

>>15357903
I'd like the movie to start with some random aliens coming to earth for the crystal, ones that the Rangers have to beat one by one. I'd like a sense that this is just kind of the natural thing in Angel Grove now. Then once we've had enough of that, then Rita can come back and start the Green Ranger shit.

>>15357919

Grew up with Power Rangers, Last decent ranger season was Jungle Fury. Looked at the trailer and synopsis and the run time. Not gonna waste my money on an obvious nostalgia boner wank. Suits look overly realistic, zords designs got the Bayformers treatment and made them look dumb, Megazord looks like a massive mess. Hated how every review for the movie put so much emphasis on the fact theres a gay ranger.

All in all, not gonna watch in in theaters or buy it when it comes out on dvd/bluray.

>>15351230
His entire existence has been a midlife crisis.

>>15358141
You see parts of the transformation, but none of it is very explicit. Goldar pushes the Zords into a flaming pit, so the sequence is a bit obscured by flames, but you do see several shots of mechanical pieces shifting and fusing together. Then there's a shot from behind as the Megazord rises from the flames and more pieces on its body continue to move and lock into place. Specifically the Ptera Zord slides up and onto the back and the wings collapse in. Then it emerges from the plume of smoke and you see it from the front for the first time.

>>15357903
>yfw they redo the SatanFranken episodes
That shit was nightmare fuel on a low budget, imagine how terrifying it could be with actual money behind it.

Then again, it would probably end up looking like something that's trying it's best to be horrifying but isn't actually horrifying at all.

>>15358179

No wonder the toys and the design itself are so fucked then.

Went to the movie alone, ended up running into two guys in line who were pretty cool and got to watch next to them and comment on the movie, that improved things a bit.

The movie was...Okay. I liked the main cast as characters, though there were moments I didn't enjoy with them, like the fact they are all misfits and troublemakers. Their chemistry was good though.

Pretty much everything bad about the movie is already mentioned. Goldar, the Megazord, the fighting scene, Rita. It was all pretty depressing. I mean, fuck, the Putties were generic lumps of rock and the Rangers needed their Zords to fucking fight Putties. Rita was threatening, but kind of dull and uninteresting, she just looked like a generic lady bad guy instead of an evil witch. Zordon was a fucking asshole, which put me off.

The Zords on their own were fine I guess, in motion you don't really notice the garish designs, and it was neat to have so much focus on their individual forms. I won't touch on the Megazord, since that is all just...ugh.

The fucking cheesy moments made me groan, Alpha saying "go go power rangers", Rita saying "make my monster grow", Krispy Kreme, "It's morphin time!" stuff like that, it was very obvious and face palm worthy references. Also the unnecessary comedy moments, I get it, it's Power Rangers, it's got comedy, but having the Megazord trip in it's introduction during a supposed serious scene was groan worthy.

Also the after credits scene, YES WE GET IT, TOMMY IS GONNA BE IN THE SEQUEL, DON'T REPEAT HIS NAME FIVE TIMES

I liked it. I thought it was pretty good. I know it isn't like the show, and doesn't pander towards megafans like Stinkara, but honestly I liked it.

>>15351200
In general I enjoyed it.
Was much better than I expected it to be.

Granted there were things I wish they did as a fan of the series and the designs are shit, but I came into the theater ready to hate it and left the theater feeling 6 years old again so I don't really mind.

Except not showing the zord transformation.
You just DONT do that shit, that's the most hype moment in all of power rangers and is a staple scene to have in your series, how the fuck do you NOT show people it's transformation?

I can only guess it's because they couldn't figure out who to make those shitty designed zords change into that shitty designed clusterfuck

Every time I see this new megazord, I get the feeling that someone saw how solid 2016 Voltron looked, but at the same time didn't understand WHY 2016 Voltron looked solid.

This is impossible of course, given how long this was probably in production and when Voltron came out, but I just can't help but feel this way.

>>15358279
I still don't understand why Western shitters are incapable of designing decent looking mechs, especially the turds they call heads.

A head makes or breaks a mech design in most cases.

Went with 2 friends and experienced the american clapping in movie theater meme for the first time. It was better than I thought but the buildup for them to finally transform is long as fuck. The best character is Billy (probably because he seems to get the most focus for some reason, and being the reason everything happens to begin with) followed by zack. yellow ranger is thick as fuck. didn't care much for the other 2

>>15358345
I think it's because mechs and giant robots have never been really a "thing" in the West, outside of anime. Combined with Western designers going for "realistic" rather than "cool looking" its a bad mix

>>15358244

The suits kinda grew on me after seeing them so many times. The zord on the other hand could've been designed better.

>>15353366
>"The idea is the Zords are machines that take on the form of the most powerful organisms of the planet they're on. When these Zords came to Earth, dinosaurs reigned supreme and so they took on the image and the spirit of these dinosaurs - that's the mythology that we've put into the movie. But in the concept that we've created they're meant to be inspired by those animals - not an actual, literal, version of it, and so we decided we wanted to take certain liberties, too.

>The other component of it is almost more of a practical component. We look at these renderings and we create a 3D space and we look at how they should move, and you learn a lot from that. And the mastodon is so big that we realized that with added legs it would just move better in a CG environment, and we'd be able to make it a more nimble machine. So it felt kind of like practical; if you were an alien creating this machine, you would want those added limbs."

>>15358667
Trini. Like I said, it's just a sentence or two. It's not a big deal at all.

>>15358742
Yeah, I actually kind of like the suits now after seeing the movie. Fuck, they need a new Megazord though.

>>15358780
Honestly that makes some sense to me. Then again I was never really all that against the alien interpretations of the animals in the first place.

>>15355222
Not the other guy, but yeah. It's cheesy as all fuck, but that's what I liked about the show, so I had fun at the movie.
It's not great. But it's a good time.
If say its greatest strength is that it is a character driven movie. Not just the stock bullshit of Transformers.
All the characters are fleshed out, flawed, and developed. It makes is much better to actually root for the team instead of the robots.
That other faggot is just an ass-blasted teenager who just wants more mindless robot "action" like he gets out of Transformers. And this was a much better treatment of the 90s toy commercials than Micheal Bay ever was of his 80s toy commercial.

It's one thing to be "inspired" by a particular animal, hell the Original Mastodon and Triceratops Zords had plenty of liberties already taken what with one having stampy robot feet and the other BEING A FREAKING TANK, it's another to be an entirely different physiology of creature.

>>15358929
>Yeah, I actually kind of like the suits now after seeing the movie. Fuck, they need a new Megazord though.
I think they retooled the helmets in post, since they all look a little more like the originals and thus better differentiated...

But yeah, let's give the Zords the same treatment, namely the Mastodon and Triceratops legs, and use that as an excuse for the Megazord's new look.

How will they fuck up Dragon Caesar's design?

>>15359025
I honestly don't even care that the Zords look weird. I'm fine with the strange alien designs. I just would liked to have seen their shapes translate into the Megazord's silhouette better.
>>15359030
By making him a long Chinese sort of dragon with a hundred centipede legs or something probably.

>>15359038
>I honestly don't even care that the Zords look weird. I'm fine with the strange alien designs.
That's the weird thing though, I'd be fine if they were just alien animals, there have been stranger Zords before...

It's that they ONLY went with strange alien physiologies for TWO of the Zords, while the other three are simply mechanized/weaponize versions of prehistoric EARTH creatures.

They added extra legs just for the sake of making the design different, and if you're Nostalgia pandering that's the exact opposite of what you should be doing.

It's like if you made a Live Action version of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, and you decided Amuro should pilot a super Guntank the entire time.

>I just would liked to have seen their shapes translate into the Megazord's silhouette better.
Hence why I think an in-universe retooling could be the answer; Billy and Alpha 5 overhauled the Zords to operate combined better which resulted in a newer, more heterogeneous Mega Zord, and while they were at it Billy's autism had him put the correct number of legs on his and Zack's Zords.

You know it always struck me as odd that they claimed the teenagers had attitude but when you actually watch the show they have about as much attitude as an after school special. They where beyond square.

Hmm...

apparently my friend ran into Kerrigan Mahan (original Goldar) when going to the movie

>>15359505

For a long while, she had a Leonard Nimoy/"I Am Not Spock" phase and hated that the only thing she was known for was Power Rangers despite having a number of other roles since.

She seems to have gotten over it in recent years though and kind of embraces it now that she knows how popular she actually was. Granted 99% of her popularity came from the fact that she was an attractive young white girl who ran around in cutoff shorts and crop-tops, but still.

There's no way they will do 6 movies

Accept that the casting is garbage and they fucked up by not casting Rinko Kikuchi who would have been a far better Major.

Oshii explicitly stated that she was supposed to look Caucasian in the movie.

That's because Japanese people living in Japan never had to deal with a lack of acting roles. They never turn on the TV and see a white guy acting in a role that should be played by an Asian.

It's really sad. If this movie just cut 10 minutes and replaced it with an actual fight scene with the suits it would of been much better.

I liked how the Zeo Crystal is the McGuffin of the movie though. And the Mariners Bay reference.

>>15362659

All in all, it was very enjoyable. I think the beginning could have been cut down a little bit to make a bit more room for out of suit fighting. They did not fight nearly enough in the suits. The characters all felt pretty good, nothing came off as forced; not even the autistic black character- in fact he was top tier. The villain was a bit dumb, but that's power ranger territory. The jokes were funny, and the action sequences that did happen were good. The ending felt kinda sudden- its just them back in detention.

I'd give it a 7.5/10

Pros
>characters are pretty good
>good fight scenes
>good jokes
>good fun

Cons
>not enough fighting (out the mech)
>movie wraps up suddenly

Fair.

Just saw the movie and was amazed, simply amazed, at how much it didn't suck.It was everything I could've asked for with the exception of Zack being pretty underdeveloped and the Megazord just sort of happening out of nowhere.

Two questions:
1.) Why were there only five sets of footprints on the ship if there was a sixth (green) ranger?

2.) Whatever happened to Billy's mom's van? Did she just never ask him about it?

I actually trust Saban to not fuck up with the inevitable sequels. He loves this shit, and it shows. Him being in charge of these movies is like competent, 1970's Stan Lee coming to the present-day and working on the Marvel movies.

I think everything's going to be alright.

>>15364600
Also, playing Zordon off as an ex-Ranger and intergalactic Walter White-tier manipulator was pretty cool, and his change of heart felt legit.

I loved this movie.

>>15364600
>1.) Why were there only five sets of footprints on the ship if there was a sixth (green) ranger?
Rita-as-Green Ranger could have been a late addition to Zordon's team the way Tommy-as-Green Ranger was a late addition to the original show.
>2.) Whatever happened to Billy's mom's van? Did she just never ask him about it?
She'd probably believe it was stolen rather than believe her sperg-tastic little son could have stolen it and blown open a mountain.

I also agree that Zack was pretty underdeveloped. But both he and Trinni were playing second fiddle to Jason/Kimberly/Billy and while the movie did a good job as an ensemble piece, there's only so much screen time to go around.
At least he did get SOME development by gaining the courage to spend more time with his mom instead of running from her problem that she can't get away from.

Well if anyone of the Rangers would be tinkering with the Zords, traditionally it would be Billy, and as far as I can tell, Movie Billy is the only one nitpicky enough to have issue with the number of legs on the robots...

It also gives an excuse to give the Zords some upgraded weaponry!

>>15362744

>>15362299
>>15364649
Actually though? This is a great idea.

I like they bothered to somewhat include the Alien Rangers, since there's no way that movie is ever going to happen. They introduced a Zeo Crystal too, so maybe the suits will change as the series goes on? I was worried the';d just stick with these designs since Mighty Morphin is where the nostalgia is at it's peak.

>>15364643
A good surprise or a bad surprise?

So what's the morpher they're selling as a toy? I didn't see them use it in the movie.

>>15355156
>As an origin film, it seems like it tries way too hard to try to set up a franchise
FIVE SEQUELS

>>15351200
I'll be honest. I actually kinda liked it. But it's not without its problems.

The good: I liked the time they put to the characters and you genuinely care for them. That they all have real world problems. I liked the training and how their sprite as a team helps them morph.

I loved all the call backs to the original series and how they played with the lore to work in the film universe's context.

Now for the not so good: It suffers a bit of Godzilla 2014, for all the build up in a 2 hour movie they are in the suits and Zords for less than 20 minutes. I would have loved some stuff where they morph but its not fully powered up. I would have loved some goon monsters other than the putties.

I hated Goldtar(Goldar), personally I would have liked him to be more of a character.

The Mega Zord design is terrible. It clearly was meant to be a Bayformers Optimus Prime knock off. You could have gotten the look of the original with those Zords and not made it look like crap. For all their plays on nostalgia they couldn't have it finish with the old Megazord Slash?

Over all I'd give it a 6/10. Enjoyable with the characters and plays on nostalgia but painfully average on everything else.

On a $40.5 Million opening weekend? Unlikely. China's not going to step in to save this like it did for Pacific Rim. Basically the only hope for a sequel is if toy sales are good enough to justify it. To be fair, since they're using "new" designs they don't have to split the toy money with another company like they normally do, so it is plausible if still unlikely. Then again, the toys are awful, but then again again, kids don't care. So I guess we'll see, but I think it's down to toy sales.

Yeah the Pink Ranger being a mega-bitch and leaking that nude photo is probably going to turn off a lot of parents from taking their kids to see this. The only hype I'm hearing is from 20somethings who grew up watching MMPR.

It was fun

>>15367007
General rule of thumb for big budget movies is that they need to make twice their budget to cover the cost of making, marketing, and distributing the movie and still make a profit. With that opening weekend it's extremely unlikely that Power Rangers can reach $200 million worldwide, which is what it needs to beat the rule-of-thumb number for profitability.

They need to have much better than expected staying power in the US and much better than expected openings in Japan and China to break even on this movie.

Like I said in >>15366803, if anything can save the franchise then it's most likely to be toy sales, and I have doubts about even that. Even cheerleading as much as I am for this movie, I'm finding it hard to be optimistic about these numbers.

>>15367024
I think good word of mouth would help a bit. Beauty and the Beast was stronger than expected too.

It really was surprisingly fun. The trailers and designs being better could have saved everything.

>>15364348
>>no poses

Honestly this is what made me the most mad. I liked the movie overall, but hallmarks of why I loved Power Rangers as a kid were afterthoughts.

Yes, that's why she has the green color scheme for the movie. When she revives and starts destroying things, we don't see her Power Coin, so that could be "lost" so that it can be found by a Tommy in the sequel. I actually expected an after-credits teaser of that happening.

turns out he found jesus after almost everyone from the original show hated his guts because of how shitty he treated David Yost (billy). A lot of the producers and even saban himself made fun of of yost for being gay and brought him down, but Jason David Frank took shit to a whole new level.

From physically assaulting him on set, throwing shit at him constantly, literally calling him every single gay slur you can think of (which inspired the production to just stop calling david 'david' and refer to him only as "queer-o") and even (literally) shit on him during the production of the movie.

He had a semi falling out with most of the cast after billy had his super breakdown (Thuy Trang never really liked frank, which is part of the reason he didnt go to her funeral, and was always the one hanging out with yost).

After a while, he found god and shit and had his 'mid life 'christist' if you will, and went full repentance. he eventually made up with everyone, even yost, but all of the shit he does he basically says is to help make up for how he was a complete dick during his original power ranger days.

He still has MAJOR rage issues and is still seeing help for it. Didnt stop him from punching some dudes teeth out who touched his bag though.

Haim Saban is a well known piece of shit and you shouldn't give him a dime. This movie is bad at every level.

>A classic Hollywood story involves (((Gene Simmons))) of Kiss. In the late ’90s, as co-owner of the Fox Family Channel, Saban was developing shows for children. Simmons, the fire-breathing, blood-spitting frontman of a rock band in costumes and face paint, pitched Saban an idea for a new Saturday-morning cartoon: Kiss meets X-Men, the Marvel comics superhero team. Saban liked the concept well enough to convene a meeting with Avi Arad, then C.E.O. of Marvel’s toy division.

>At the appointed time, Saban, Arad, and Simmons sat down. The meeting was going well, and the three began to haggle over numbers. Then Saban turned to Arad and, referring to Simmons, confided in Hebrew, “Now we gut him like a fish.” Without missing a beat, Simmons—who, unbeknownst to Saban, was born Chaim Witz in Haifa, Israel—replied in Hebrew, “You ass hole. I’m one of you.”

>>15368877
You're thinking of Red. Red was the super religious one that couldn't take a joke.

>>15370633
Why would I care if he mistook Gene for a goyim? I'm sure they're both assholes, but I've heard a lot more asshole stories about Gene Simmons than I've ever heard about Saban.

>>15370640
No, he's thinking of JDF. JDF has been really obnoxiously overt about his beliefs ever since he got his infamous JESUS DIDN'T TAP tat.

>>15370617
No, because this movie is actually good. Fuck you.

>>15370703
It's not but whatever floats your penis

>>15370633
I don't understand why people this kind of thing. Make enough money to fund the next cool thing you're planning, leave enough to pay the people who help you make it come to fruition decently.

I know 4chan likes to turn this into a "DA JEWS" thing, but it's really an American business thing (and everyone who really gets involved in managing money seems to exhibit it). Scrape for every cent possible, no matter what it does to the unquantifiables, and if you're not screwing someone over, you're getting screwed. I really hate that mindset. I've given relatively large sums (in relation to my income) to friends who needed help, some of whom I'd later have falling outs with; I never regretted losing the money, only the friendship. Some people give away tons of dosh to charity knowing they're going to take the standard deduction anyway. That kind of thing makes the world a better place and enables great things with far more consistency than shady backroom production deals and lobby incessantly for more (narrowly) advantageous regulatory/tax policy.

Sorry to /pol/, this shit's been on my mind lately. You want to be responsible with money, but it's kind of a normal curve with the y-axis being net positive outcome for society.

He's basically a Chad and a big baby put together.

>>15369000
I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. I was saying that the fact that Section 9 is trusted with securing Japanese interests and its members are willing to do some pretty low-down, dirty stuff on orders for their government means that they're fanatically loyal on some level. Which would suggest that they're all very much Japanese.

People doing all these silly mental gymnastics to exonerate a fucking movie studio. Just accept that the Major is supposed to be Japanese but Hollywood gonna Hollywood when it comes to race.

>>15370549
>Surprised Saban did that. He could've been sued for harassment. That's a real unprofessional move on his part.
You mean the guy who enmass emailed every single power ranger that ever worked for him for a chance to cameo on the every ranger episode from Gokaiger (complete with tons of typos), which basically said they would be extras, have to pay half the ticket and all room would be on them, then 2 weeks later told almost all of em to fuck off because he just wanted his core 10 and the others that said 'sure' to his idea was the 'backup' if any of his core 10 said no.

Or when he stopped Karan Ashley (the black yellow ranger) on the red carpet premier of the original power rangers movie and told her the +1's use the side entrance, and that the red carpet was for main cast and head crew (producers, director, etc). She told him "mr saban... im one of the main actors in the movie... im the yellow ranger". He looked at her bewilderingly and and muttered "I didnt know we allowed your kind to become rangers" and walked off.

>>15371391
Do you have a source for the last part? Not that I don't believe it, I just want to know for sure.

>>15371391
I 100% believe that second part even without source

Her forehead game is strong.

>>15371489
That's a receding hairline. It sometimes happens to black women (well, any women, but mostly black) who have to wear weave and tightly braided curls. Basically kills your follicles over time. It happens to dudes who too (even those who don't have male pattern baldness) but sometimes it's less noticeable because men tend to have flatter foreheads (which catch the light differently).

>>15351667
Nigga it was even in the trailers

>>15351667
>>15371538
Honestly, I felt that in the moment it didn't feel too out of place. Especially when a bunch of other pop/hip-hop songs had been sprinkled throughout the entire movie up until that point. None of it felt obnoxious to me though, strangely. I usually hate it when movie soundtracks break into pop songs and shit, but I feel like it was actually moderately well done here and it happened often enough that I didn't think it was jarring either.

>>15371391
He didn't recognize her nor did he care. That's what Karan said in her interview from way back. It was all about the toys and merchandise because that's how Saban made cash, the actors were merely a means to an end.

>>15351200
I honestly had a good time watching it.
It's not a masterpiece of storytelling and had a few hiccups, but it was fun.

>>15371412
>>15371476
It was an interview she did a while ago. Its on youtube, ill see if I can dig it up

>Rita tells Trini to get the location of the Zeo Crystal for her and she'll let her live
>Gets the team together and lies to them, saying her deal with Rita was that she wouldn't tell that her attack starts at dawn
>Brings the team including Billy, who she probably knows knows where the crystal is, straight to Rita
>Rita gets the info out of him and kills him
>Trini betrayed everyone and got away with it, then sides with the winning team once it turns out they can morph
>This is never brought up again
??????

>>15373014
I don't think she did it intentionally. How the fuck would she know that Billy knew where the crystal was?

>>15373014
Wait Billy dies?

>>15373026
Yes, though he's resurrected later on by Zordon, who sacrifices his ability to leave the confines of the Grid.

>>15373024
The thing that gets me is she lies about it. If that scene wasn't in there, sure it's a coincidence, but that shows she had intent.

>>15373037
What exactly did she lie about? All I remember is her meeting up with the Rangers and letting them know what Rita said.

>>15373050
Instead of telling them Rita told her to find the Crystal, she tells them Rita told her the attack is at dawn and not to tell the others. She doesn't even mention the crystal in that scene.

>>15366817
Wait, is that really Kim's deal in the movie? I thought the whole cancer survivor thing from Max Landis' script was off-putting, but starting a sexting scandal is just fucking dumb.

she didnt even start it, she just perpetuated it.

>>15373053
I can't recall the specifics, so I won't say you're wrong, but it came across to me like Trini was just trying to warn her friends. She wasn't very smart about it, but that's how it came across to me.

If what you're saying is what happened, and it could be, it's just a weird plot hole.

>>15373065
it was more like what you thought

>>15373057
It's really weird, for most of the movie they play her as the victim who was shunned from her group of friends who are portrayed as stereotypical bitchy cheerleaders. Then when they reveal what really happened they play it like you're still supposed to feel bad for her because she feels so awful about it. I don't know who thought it was a good idea.

>>15373062
The friend who took it sent it to her. I don't know why she would do that, as far as I know friends don't send those to each other, but they emphasize that she broke her trust by not keeping it private.

>>15373057
>>15373062
>>15373071
It was basically played off to be a Lindsay Lohan style mean girls vibe that has ruined her cred as the most popular girl in school, now she's being bullied by everyone she used to like. Thus being a victim and yet not innocent at the same time.

She's the suicidal "dont tempt me, I'll do it" girl who is two steps away from teen pregnancy and substance abuse to get attention. They just can't come out and directly say it. Its implied from the scenes (but not strongly enough, nor ever actually resolved aside from Red telling her to suck it the fuck up because at least her mom doesnt have cancer, and she's not autistic).

>>15373065
I do think it was at least a subplot that was dropped during the script-writing process, and the deal offering scene had to stay to make the rest of the movie work. Otherwise there's no reason to tempt a character if they don't struggle with it at least a bit. She's the character it would have made the most sense for too, seeing as she was the most reluctant to join the group.

>>15373065
>>15373067
This is true, and I actually liked it more for it. It came off as Trini realizing that "Oh shit, Rita is real, she nearly killed me, and my friends need to know what's going on."

Does Rita look in any way trustworthy? Like someone who wouldn't go back on their word? Trini didn't know any of them found the Krispy Krystal.

She certainly could have explained it better, but it wasn't completely unreasonable.

Why was this so hard for them? Japan releases Super Sentai movies more-or-less yearly.

>>15373053
We don't see the end of her confrontation with Rita. The scene cuts before she's even told about the boats and shit, so we're led to assume Trini tells the other Rangers shit that she was told by Rita off screen.

It was better than I expected. Not enough action though, hopefully they'll fix that in a sequel.

>>15362412
thank god no sequel

because japan cares abit about their shit while saban is a money hungry asshole who doesnt care about people

>>15351230
Update: he got kicked out of the premiere for trying to take an audience reaction video of his cameo. Missed the ending because he was arguing with staff about keeping his phone.

I mean, he should have cleared that with the theater beforehand, but it does sort of feel like the universe is taking the piss out of him.

>>15373071
>I don't know why she would do that
IIRC, she sent it to her then boyfriend and made some sort of bitchy comment off-handedly. She didn't realize that he would spread it to everyone else. Then she tried to deny her part in it by blaming everyone else and not owning up to her actions.

Her issue is that she wouldn't take responsiblity and forgive herself until Jason tells her that she did an awful thing but that doesn't make her an awful person.

I really want the movie to do well. For all the gripes people have, they kept SO MUCH of the original and updated a lot of things pretty intelligently. The corny afterschool special subplot is intact. They still wear kinda-silly-kinda-awesome brightly-colored armor. Zordon drops "Rita Repulsa's" name like it isn't completely batshit and basically all of the fun catchphrases are there. If this is their starting point, I feel really good about any sequels that might come about. We could have gotten another GI Joe, but the bones of something good (in a lasting way) are there.

>>15374747

Fuck him, self-absorbed douche.

HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT THAT'S PERFECT

>>15374753
Yes, but why would Kimberly's friend send it to her? Do girls send that kind of thing to each other?

Actually really enjoyed it. When it was first announced, I felt disgust, and the first trailer didn't help, but the second trailer generated hype. I actually like the Megazord, since it provides a somewhat unique American/Western take on a giant robot, but I don't like how it doesn't look like a combination of the zords at all. And I don't like how the Mastodon clearly has eight legs. The Triceratops's six legs are more subtle when seen in action, but the Mastodon's legs are clearly fucked in the film, and it really bothers me. The fact that they don't shout the names of their zords to morph also makes it weird, since otherwise there is no way to determine Zack has a prehistoric elephant zord

>>15369375
My penis liked it. Especially in Krispy Kreme when her jacket is off hnnng

>>15351667
It's not, Power came out in 2010.

>>15374765
>Zordon drops "Rita Repulsa's" name like it isn't completely batshit
I loved this. They're fucking 65M-year-old aliens who didn't know English, yet one has a surname that is clearly based on an English word, as well as a Western-ish name. I really hope Rito shows up eventually

>>15373591
How would it getting a sequel fucking hurt you? Just don't watch it, you selfish prick. Seems like most the rest of us actually liked the movie and would actually enjoy if a sequel were made.

>>15373278
Because saban is aware that churning out yearly movies would never work when all your franchise currently has going for it is nostalgia value.

>>15373591
There is more than enough casual nostalgia bait left in a Green Ranger debut and Lord Zedd introduction to justify two more films.

when the zords were running towards Angel Grove, did anyone else notice that the song playing was from the orchestra version of Power Rangers from the first movie?

>>15374765
>We could have gotten another GI Joe, but the bones of something good (in a lasting way) are there.
If this goes the way of the Joe movies, where the first was fun in a corny, over-the-top way and then managed a sequel which improved upon the first's mistakes, I'm entirely down.

A good bit of this was filmed in my town so I kinda wanna see it for that but it looks really shitty so I'm conflicted

>>15373278
Do you seriously not understand the difference? None of those movies have to account for character development at all, ever. The series provides them with so much build up and so much to work off of already that producing one of these films a year is easy.

>>15376893
It's not. It's surprisingly good - not amazing, but if you like Power Rangers at all I think you'll have an alright time. Don't go in expecting non-stop action though.

I liked how using the megazord actually required teamwork.

>>15351200
it's legendary's godzilla but with power rangers instead of godzilla.

It was alright. Not campy enough though.
>>15373014
I bet Trini was turned on during the entire encounter with Rita

>>15351200
Normies ate it out and made it a success, sequel is a given now.
At least i hope the sequel has more power rangers action.

>>15377056
Also, the human characters are actually likeable.

It's only made 67 mill so far. It needs 200 mill to recoup its budget and actually have enough profit to merit a sequel.

Meanwhile, the live-action Beauty & the Beast made more than 750 mill in less than 2 weeks time.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=beautyandthebeast2017.htm

And Ghost in the Shell comes out this Friday with some theaters already having showings tonight. So Power Rangers 2017 is in stiff competition to make any sort of cash to justify 5 more movies.

More people are excited over Spider-Man: Homecoming, Justice League, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 than Power Rangers. I'm even willing to bet Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is going to make more money than this.

>>15378369
It doesn't come out in Japan and China until much later, keep in mind. I think it's possible to hit that 100 mill benchmark before then, and then after it's released in Asia? Who knows?

A sequel is still entirely possible. I'm gonna count my chickens and say that it's likely. On top of all this, the producers and especially Saban himself desperately WANT a sequel made no matter what. So I think at least one more installment is guaranteed regardless of whether the film is extremely profitable or not.

>>15373211
She did sound like a scared teenager trying to relay a message to her friends to save them. Rita told them to find her at the dockyard(where the dead ships lie or somesuch) and that's what Trini told them. They all went in ready to fight, but they all underestimated her strength.
It's not like Rita was particularly clever or the Rangers particularly dumb. They were just weak.

>>15379153
Rita told Trini to betray her friends, find out where the crystal is, and meet her at the shipyard without telling them. Trini said "fuck that" and immediately told her friends so that they could outnumber Rita and beat the shit out of her together.

Didn't really matter which decision Trini made, because either way Rita would get what she wants.

>>15379868
Exactly.
That guy saying Trini betrayed them is an idiot.

If you didn't like the movie because no suits then you need to actually watch sentai for once.

I can list over 100 episodes where no one suited up for the entire episode/only the last 5 minutes. Those episodes are literally the best episodes of sentai because the action can only carry so much that there needs to be actual substance.
