As to what changes they're making... to quote Beo: "They've turned Power Rangers into 60s Batman."

She ain't lying. I don't think I even got through the intro before I was like, "Man I can't watch this."

What??? How does that even work?

I think that will answer a lot of your questions on just what Disney did to it.

My thoughts? Well, quite honestly...I didn't know whether to laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all, or cry at how awful the changes were. The critique linked above makes it at least somewhat tolerable.

Yet somehow...I'm still going to keep watching it because it's PR on TV. That and I can often be a sucker for punishment. >_>

I'll get around to watching it eventually. I just have to find myself in a mood to laugh at the absurdity of it all instead of realizing what they've turned this classic into.

ETA: Anyone know how long this is gonna go on? I know we're getting remastered Mighty Morphin, but that spanned what, 150 episodes, give or take? Are they gonna do all three seasons worth of the actual Mighty Morphin or just the first fifty?

you can blame Disney

silly changes aside, i am happy its back on. nothing but good feelings comming from it for me.

do i wish they left it alone, and just cleaned up the footage? yes but they didnt and i cant change that.

and im super happy that the toys have made a comeback. granted not the exact toys of old but i think thats for the best, making my toys more special. and that spendy dragon dagger i bought on ebay to fullfil a boy hood dream, less painful. as the new ones are fart differnt.

but i was always into the standard small figures, the 4/1/4in 5in class ones, (pends on manufacture) but there was never a green ranger in that run, i had all the others but no green. but now there IS. so while out running errands i went to the toy department to check out the new stuff. not really knowing what was available, and was SUPER happy to see 1 ONE green ranger left on the peg so i bought it instantly. i am very pleased with these figures and would like to buy the others as well.

the young women are actually sculpted like young women, they have all have deffinition to thier bodies and good jointing. i regret there is no holster attached to the character but that is a small thing. all come with a blaster and there power weapons, just basic grey-black coloring of weapons though. last complaint of the basic figures is that the green rangers shield doesnt come off. my white ranger of old did. that is all.


so who else is watching the show?

I'm most definitely not watching. I couldn't even get through the intro without wanting to vomit so I don't think I would be able to stomach seeing what else they've done.

But hey, I was never a huge fan of the original MMPR anyway.

I only saw the first episode, and I've boyctted the rest on principle. The freeze frame thing with the zords was just too much.


Seeing as how everyone prettty much disliked the remastered MMPR, if you want you can download full, original episodes on pr-unlimited.net

who would of thought that disney could actualy make it cheezier dont get me wrong i love power rangers the origionals are the bomb especially when adam, rocky, and iesha, come in (totaly spelled iesha wrong i apologize) but they shouldnt have messed with it. it was fine just the way it was.

Now it really is like a comic like in Ninja Storm in my name.
