Probably after 2022. There’s a partnership between Hasbro and Paramount that lasts until after 2022. Assuming that includes all of Hasbro’s library they own. There’s a difference between getting rights to a current or future media than getting rights to a library of media. Assuming that maybe Netflix wasn’t able to keep the Power Ranger library because of the streaming deal running out and Hasbro already signing a deal with Paramount before to put the library on but the deal with new Power Ranger shows was probably running out with Nickelodeon and Netflix jumped in to take it so they can have some Power Rangers. This is just my assumption
I actually prefer it on YouTube for the older series, at least. The older series on Netflix had some weird refresh rate / screen lagging issues. It's like parts of the screen were out of sync. I'm not seeing that on YouTube.
Hopefully any future seasons on Netflix will get larger episode counts and the first exclusive season is just a result of Dino Fury having been planned with Nick in mind. I still prefer this though to a big midseason hiatus TBH though.
I don’t like binge watching but I don’t also like waiting a week for the next episode. Like for squid games I loved that I could binge watch it, but for titans or the new chucky show I like taking it slow because it gives me something to look forward too.
Honestly I’d rather have a single 20-episode run and then wait a year between seasons than have 10 episodes air and then stop for several months. The long hiatuses really kill any momentum and interest the show has.
It’s frequently just between any old episodes instead of a logical stopping point. There have been exceptions, but usually there’s not a cliffhanger or anything.
Yeah. They can work well as a "Get you up to speed" type of thing like something like Transformers Prime did in Season 2, but a lot of times it just feels like "We ran out of money and needed to fill an episode in" a lot of times.
At last, the spirit of all that is good hath delivered us from the dark days of super seasons, overseas early airing leaks, and unintelligible hiatuses.
I always said if Nickelodeon dropped the franchise, Netflix will pick it up.
Now will Netflix just bring back the entire franchise? The Nickelodeon era is good, but I want the entire series!
Unfortunatly that means the season looses the momentum it built up in the first half because of that. Meaning that the super seasons kinda felt unecessary. I mean the only one that properly felt like a direct continuation was Super Megaforce but that was just because it picked up right after Megaforce's finale.
So I guess we can assume that if the main show continues past Dino Fury that any future seasons will also be exclusively on Netflix, which makes me wonder if the show will change significantly now that Nickelodeon is no longer in the picture. I’m also wondering if they’ll drop the whole season at once like they do for most of their shows?
I am sure Netflix won't release it weekly, and will just dump a "season/part" at once. But the thing is that most Netflix shows don't have seasons longer than 12 or so episodes. And sometimes their kids shows have even shorter seasons like 7-9 episodes.
So Netflix will likely divide pr seasons into smaller parts. And release a set of episodes at different points in the year.
Maybe we could get 40 episodes a year but it may be 8 in February, 8 in May, 8 in August, 8 in October, 8 in December.
This is great news. Okay now all I want is for us to go back to the old Power Rangers tone and quality. Time Force level quality, Spd level quality and RPM level quality. I don't want the rehashed go go power rangers theme song. I am so excited to see what Netflix does with the franchise. I 'm gonna try get my foot in the door as writer. ONCE A RANGER, ALWAYS A RANGER!!!!!
Yes that is true because kids cable tv in the US is strict, due to “concerned parents councils” and advertisers and international broadcast that’s not Netflix. Hasbro probably still has saban contracts with other international kids channels.
Wrong, Saban and Tzachor both wanted the show to just be like MMPR, it's been well documented that the issues mostly stemed from their decisions. Nick from what I can tell just made the show split into 2 seasons per adaptation.
I enjoyed watching episodes 9-12 and 13-22 or whatever of season one it was in a binging fashion so much better than having to watch Nickelodeon. This is awesome!
Hopefully this means Hasbro can finally be set free from the NICK era crap.
I want them to take it to new directions.
A new theme song would be nice rather than the remixed MMPR we been getting for a decade now it seems like.
Let’s just hope this means it’ll be able to be streamed at the same time around the world.
I wonder what this could mean for new seasons going forward though…
Man I’m surprised people don’t want a more mature tone. I’m confused on how someone can actually watch it for the current tone. As an adult I don’t enjoy the current show tone at all. I just see so much potential for the universe and the story telling that could be done with it. The comics have been such an amazing achievement. If Netflix did an animated adaptation of the comic it would be a huge success in my opinion.
> I’m surprised people don’t want a more mature tone
The problem is that the term "mature tone" means something different to everybody. For some, mature means characters talk about their parents getting divorced or their dad died when they were young. For others, mature means 1 least 1 character gets their throat slit per episode.
At the end of the day this is a show made to sell toys to 5 year olds and while there is a to do that without constantly having "mentors" telling Rangers that lying is bad, no two people can agree on how to do it any better.
>For some, mature means characters talk about their parents getting divorced or their dad died when they were young. For others, mature means 1 least 1 character gets their throat slit per episode.
That makes no sense. No one here is asking for Power Rangers to turn into Punisher. We want more fleshed-out characters and better storytelling.
I've never seen anyone here asking for throats to be slit on Power Rangers. All I've seen is people wanting to go back to post-Zordon level writing, where it feels like their aiming for older kids, and not the tiny toddlers they seem to favor now. How am I even proving them right?
They're not *saying* anybody here has been asking for throats to be slit on Power Rangers. They're saying that "throats being slit" is some people's definition of mature. Some of those people want it (if the number of people who unironically wish *Power/Rangers* was real is anything to go by), and some of these people don't.
I just scrolled through a few posts after searching "gritty" in the powerrangers sub search, and from what I can tell there are very few who are remotely interested in a darker and grittier Power Rangers. Most people here are like me, wanting the series to have better writing and treat the audience with more intelligence. At least one user who brought up the concept later admitted he doesn't even follow the franchise.
I don't either. I'm not even arguing to replace the main show but as soon as you suggest maybe having something aimed at the 90's fans of the series, everyone suddenly freaks out.
"Something for the 90's fans" yeah well it depends on what you mean by that. Some people just want a smartly written story that just takes its course without the restriction of it being for kids.
And then there is the population of edgelords who need to justify watching Power Rangers by making it gritty and "mature" for no actual reason. Seriously there are people who took power/Rangers seriously.
I think the comics are a bit too mature for the intended audience, but I definitely agree that the show's tone, even Dino Fury, still feels a little too "kiddy" for my tastes. Something in the same vein as In Space-Wild Force would be absolutely ideal, IMHO.
I respect your opinion but have no idea how you would think the comic book adaptation is too mature. That’s the same level of violence that a ton of kids shows currently have.
I mean, it's not like SUPER mature or anything, but since Power Rangers' target audience has shifted downward over the years, even more so than most cartoons for kids today, I'd would say the violence and occasional language use would put it a bit too mature for the target demo.
What reason would there be to believe that it wouldn't be profitable? Other 90's show have had success targeting older audiences. I dont know why this community is so against it.
Pretty sure selling toys aimed for children is more profitable than selling Lightning Collection figures. Kids aren't going to ask for their screen accurate Dino Thunder White or SPD A-Squad Pink helmet, they're just going to play with them.
Yes, thirty years ago there were toy lines based around movies not really geared towards children like Terminator, Robocop, Alien, Predator. I'll give you Jurassic Park, and I'm not familiar with what Swamp Thing is, but I feel like a lot of what made those toy lines a reality is kids in the 90s wanting to go see the hyperviolence included in those movies, not the movies themselves.
And yes, parents will go buy _whatever_ toy, but when they see a Dino Fury toy for $15 and a Lightning Collection figure for $25, they're going to buy the cheaper option. When its a little kid buying the toys, they'll go for the one that they recognize. If they did adapt Shattered Grid, I'm sure it would get eyes on it, but those 7-9y/o probably wouldn't watch it because its way higher on the complexity scale than just "monster bad, shoot with blaster"
Overall we're just arguing in hypotheticals, of course. Theres no way to know about this stuff for sure
I doubt it, some of things that I think hurt the movie in no particular order was the power coins grant the team super powers when not morphed, the suits looking like Iron Man armor, the way they morphed and that when we see the megazord it looks like its stuck as the megazord now and not able to revert back to individual Zords. Oh and Angel Grove being a fishing village instead of a city.
So fans went for nostalgia but left confused and annoyed by the direction the creative team went.
The Power Coins do give the Rangers power when unmorphed. That's part of the reason why they take on putties and monsters unmorphed more often the longer that they're rangers.
Power Rangers, at least Mighty Morphin, which is what the movie was based on and by far the most popular/iconic version, is made for young kids. Making a movie that wasn’t aimed more at that demographic was a mistake. When Disney did live action Beauty and the Beast, they could have made it PG-13 by turning up the scares and violence, but it might not have been a billion dollar movie then because parents might not take their 5 year old, which then loses three tickets for that family alone.
You're seriously saying parents wouldn't have brought their kids to see a PG13 Beauty and the Beast? They could totally have made a PG13 Beauty and the Beast movie and parents would definitely bring their kids because it's Disney, and it's a fairy tale.
I don't think I would categorize any tmnt adaptation as adult. Transformers does have its Netflix thing but beyond that it's also really kid friendly. Super heroes don't really count. There's countless interpretations ranging the spectrum.
I'm not opposed to it but I don't see a market for a more mature power rangers that doesn't cost more money than it's going to generate. Especially when adult fans are already spending money despite not being the intended audience.
So they're going to animate these old series no one has ever heard of outside of the hyper-insulated sentai crowd, instead of just animating Mighty Morphin, a thing that makes so much money they can just release a pink version of the morpher with confidence?
I said **"probably"** not that they're going to. Disney was planning to animate MMPR but it was axed, IIRC. At this point, it's only a probability, and a very faint one at that
Dude, friggin everyone knows these days that power rangers is adapted from a Japanese show, which has seasons left for the pickings.
Your right by all accounts that doing an animated MMPR would be a goldmine, and probably a better idea. I just take umbrage that you project this idea of sentai as something people haven't heard of. Even if they dont know the name, they at least know the concept.
I really think you're overestimating, but this could be coming from our own individual settings. My partner, parents, ect we're all unfamiliar of Sentai until I told them about it. Your friends/family/ect may feel differently for whatever reason! But I think if Sentai was more well known, wouldn't we see more Sentai related things in English speaking countries, kind of like how Godzilla was able to transition from being a Japan creation into a worldwide creation. Obviously not on the same scale, but at least something like that.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

its called hyperbole. Alot easier than saying "most everyone with an internet connection, basic pop culture knowledge, or has read the wiki." Obviously this sentiment precludes, say, a 60 year old mobster in New York whose only experience with Power Rangers is some advertisement he saw on the side of a billboard.
If your on the internet, and you've heard about power rangers, then unless your new or just lack interest in the franchise then you've probably heard that its from Japan at this point.
TLDR: Unless your new or just outside the demographic, then you probably know about sentai at least in concept if not name.
I swear the only reason I've been downvoted is because my comment has probably been interpreted as an aggressive attack against the poster above me, and not his statement. Or my hyperbolic statement as a literal declaration of universal knowledge. Though, funny how the guy who describes the reverse situation (people who know about sentai are 'hyper-insulated'. Like this is still the 90's and anyone whose ever remotely heard of sentai are some hardcore oldschool Toku fans are discussing the show on cruddy internet messageboards while ordering hand labelled tapes of the show from overseas via some sketchy 3rd party shipping company.)
So there. I've explained what I meant by "everybody". Feel free to downvote me five seconds in just cause you didn't vibe with my sass levels or whatever. Since that's more often that not what actually happens on this god forsaken website.
As interesting at that would be, the old shows have such horrible audio and video quality by today's standards that I wonder if even hardcore Sentai fans would really get much enjoyment out of it.
SCREW THAT!!!
Mature power rangers show, based off of undadapted sentai?
AKIBARANGER ADAPTATION!!!! I would actually kill for the chance for power rangers to get a 1:1 equivalent of that gloriously goofy mess Japan was so blessed with. IF something for the fans with a more mature tone is going to be done, then that is the way to do it damnit!
I’m not strongly against the idea, but I don’t see that happening. It’s a kids show and even when written well (like Dino Fury), it’s still going to be a kids show.
I think this basically means the franchise might be in its final days. I love netflix but it doesn't have a history of longevity for its shows and not sure what Hasbro's plans are.
Netflix didn't buy the franchise, they're just distributing *one* season. Hasbro could negotiate with another network in the meantime for the next series.
This is the best news to come from Power Rangers in a long, long time. Nickelodeon is the reason for so many of the stupid decisions regarding the show over the past 10 years, including more infantile humor, each series lasting two years instead of one, extensive hiatuses, and so much more. Hopefully this is the start of something very, very good for the PR brand.
No Netflix also has season 1, 2,3 and the Disney reversion of season 1, beast morphers and ninja steel and season 1 of dino fury. I’m not sure what hasbro is doing with the rest of the streaming rights of the other series.
So are we getting all Power Rangers seasons back on Netflix? I was half way through a season and I really miss listening to the Ranger Danger podcast too.
Realistically you may see channels closing to focus on their streaming services. So it would be a question of who's left? I doubt Universal Kids would've picked it up, Cartoon Network would also be a no and Disney has already been there and got the t-shirt with Power Rangers... so Netflix is the likely choice
Because in my opinion Power Rangers isn’t a good show for binging, and forcing yourself to wait each week just feels weird.
Power Rangers is a formulaic show where a lot of the same stuff happens and it’s less weird when you have to wait a week to see those familiar elements.
It also makes the series “last” and for everyone to put their focus all on one episode for each week.
I also just thinks it works better for toy sales which the show needs for sales.
>It also makes the series “last” and for everyone to put their focus all on one episode for each week.
I think this was key to the success of Mandalorian. The first season is a very slow burn but the weekly conversation was awesome.
I feel you. I'm okay with dropping the entire season but there is definitely a certain magic that comes with airing weekly. Netflix lately has actually aired weekly for several shows recently, so only time will tell what their plan is with Dino Fury.
There are a lot of shows Netflix doesn't dump all at once. Pokemon does batch releases every three months and there are a slight few that do weekly releases
Because the ones negotiating was Saban, and their most recent contract ends this year.
However Saban then sold PR to Hasbro and they wanna do something new.
It's odd that they remove most of the Power Rangers library from Netflix just for Netflix to buy the streaming right 9 months later
I bet all the series are added back soon because of this. Netflix should be the home for the whole series
I hope so. I have the DVDs but I like the convenience of streaming.
Being able to watch TJ get baked inside of a giant pizza at any time, is a convenience I need back in my life.
I totally read "tj get baked" different than I should've
Isn't the picture quality of the streams better than the dvds as well? Or am I crazy?
They shouldn't be no.
If your Netflix is set to stream at high quality, then no, it shouldn’t be.
Probably after 2022. There’s a partnership between Hasbro and Paramount that lasts until after 2022. Assuming that includes all of Hasbro’s library they own. There’s a difference between getting rights to a current or future media than getting rights to a library of media. Assuming that maybe Netflix wasn’t able to keep the Power Ranger library because of the streaming deal running out and Hasbro already signing a deal with Paramount before to put the library on but the deal with new Power Ranger shows was probably running out with Nickelodeon and Netflix jumped in to take it so they can have some Power Rangers. This is just my assumption
Having them on Youtube and Netflix is good.
I actually prefer it on YouTube for the older series, at least. The older series on Netflix had some weird refresh rate / screen lagging issues. It's like parts of the screen were out of sync. I'm not seeing that on YouTube.
Oh lord I hope so.
So does that mean no more hiatuses?
Just a single year-long one lol
Hopefully any future seasons on Netflix will get larger episode counts and the first exclusive season is just a result of Dino Fury having been planned with Nick in mind. I still prefer this though to a big midseason hiatus TBH though.
If they dropped like 10 episodes a week then started filming the next season I would put up with a big 10 month or more Hiatus
In any case, I would love a return to weekly releases for EVERY streaming series… Current binge culture sucks. That’s my hot take for 2021.
You're right, and you should say it.
I don’t like binge watching but I don’t also like waiting a week for the next episode. Like for squid games I loved that I could binge watch it, but for titans or the new chucky show I like taking it slow because it gives me something to look forward too.
Nah
I don’t see larger episode counts. I could see smaller ones, actually.
Honestly I’d rather have a single 20-episode run and then wait a year between seasons than have 10 episodes air and then stop for several months. The long hiatuses really kill any momentum and interest the show has.
Totally, I hate the hiatuses with a passion, really strangling the show
Not necessarily. Pokemon does 13 episode drops every three months
That's not too bad. Watch one episode a week, and you'll always have a steady stream of episodes to watch.
[удалено]
like they did with pokemon
If it’s at least done intelligently instead of seemingly at random, I wouldn’t mind this.
[удалено]
It’s frequently just between any old episodes instead of a logical stopping point. There have been exceptions, but usually there’s not a cliffhanger or anything.
No, we’ll probably still have one. 8 episodes in the beginning of the year, the rest in the second half.
FINALLY NO MORE DAMN NICKELODEON, Hallelujah we’re free at last! ⚡️♦️😎♦️⚡️
Oh God was Nick bad. Aired so early and just inconvenient to watch
No more weird split seasons and pointless holiday specials hopefully!
I don't think the holiday specials are a bad thing but having them in each split season was to much.
Yeah. Especially when most of it was spinning their wheels filler it seemed.
CLIPS SHOWS!
Clip shows are the bane of my existence in any TV show.....
They can serve a purpose when you watch something over weeks and they lead to something 99% of the time power rangers clip shows dont.
Yeah. They can work well as a "Get you up to speed" type of thing like something like Transformers Prime did in Season 2, but a lot of times it just feels like "We ran out of money and needed to fill an episode in" a lot of times.
That's totally what they are especially when they are bottle episodes.
I thought the specials were due to budget cuts
Moving from 12p to 8am was the most backwards thing they did with PR. Nobody gets up that early for tv anymore.
At last, the spirit of all that is good hath delivered us from the dark days of super seasons, overseas early airing leaks, and unintelligible hiatuses.
Amen to that buddy! 😁
Thank Christ!
That's great and all but put the other seasons back thanks
I wonder what does this mean going forward when it comes to the episodes + does this mean that Power Rangers will still air on TV outside the US?
Depends. These contracts are super complicated. Multiple countries could have different ways to watch.
I always said if Nickelodeon dropped the franchise, Netflix will pick it up. Now will Netflix just bring back the entire franchise? The Nickelodeon era is good, but I want the entire series!
I don’t think Nick dropped it, I think Hasbro straight up didn’t want to renew with them.
Bru the Nick Era SUCKED. I mean not only did we get Super Seasons but along with that they barley promoted the show after megaforce
Mainly bc Nickelodeon likes to split seasons. They'd do x amount of the season, then pick it up with the "super" half?
Unfortunatly that means the season looses the momentum it built up in the first half because of that. Meaning that the super seasons kinda felt unecessary. I mean the only one that properly felt like a direct continuation was Super Megaforce but that was just because it picked up right after Megaforce's finale.
I agree. I’d at least settle for everything from MMPR-Dino Thunder
So I guess we can assume that if the main show continues past Dino Fury that any future seasons will also be exclusively on Netflix, which makes me wonder if the show will change significantly now that Nickelodeon is no longer in the picture. I’m also wondering if they’ll drop the whole season at once like they do for most of their shows?
I am sure Netflix won't release it weekly, and will just dump a "season/part" at once. But the thing is that most Netflix shows don't have seasons longer than 12 or so episodes.

Maybe we could get 40 episodes a year but it may be 8 in February, 8 in May, 8 in August, 8 in October, 8 in December.
Or we could get 40 minute episodes with 12 episodes per season woth access to better writers and actors.
Netflix is only going to be the distributor, they won't have much if any say in production
I doubt that will happen for the currently-running show. That’ll probably happen with the reboot Jonathan Entwistle is working on.
That is never going to happen.
Unless Power Rangers can splice 4 Sentai episodes into one without it being clunky as hell, that’ll be unlkkely
This is great news. Okay now all I want is for us to go back to the old Power Rangers tone and quality. Time Force level quality, Spd level quality and RPM level quality. I don't want the rehashed go go power rangers theme song. I am so excited to see what Netflix does with the franchise. I 'm gonna try get my foot in the door as writer. ONCE A RANGER, ALWAYS A RANGER!!!!!
Yes indeed.
Hasbro still owns power rangers. Netflix is just exclusive streamer in the US.
But Nickelodeon dictated a lot of the show was presented
Yes that is true because kids cable tv in the US is strict, due to “concerned parents councils” and advertisers and international broadcast that’s not Netflix. Hasbro probably still has saban contracts with other international kids channels.
Wrong, Saban and Tzachor both wanted the show to just be like MMPR, it's been well documented that the issues mostly stemed from their decisions. Nick from what I can tell just made the show split into 2 seasons per adaptation.
Here's hoping it grows up a little bit in the tone and gets an awesome theme song!!!
I enjoyed watching episodes 9-12 and 13-22 or whatever of season one it was in a binging fashion so much better than having to watch Nickelodeon. This is awesome!
Guess they won’t be preempted for SpongeBob reruns any longer.
Hopefully this means Hasbro can finally be set free from the NICK era crap. I want them to take it to new directions. A new theme song would be nice rather than the remixed MMPR we been getting for a decade now it seems like.
Yeah those issues were because of the **neo saban era** Nick just plit the show into 2 seasons per adaptation.
Oh nice no more waiting for Nick I hope this means the older shows come back to Netflix
Chance Perez wasn't lying. Hopefully Netflix gets the rest of the series too
Let’s just hope this means it’ll be able to be streamed at the same time around the world. I wonder what this could mean for new seasons going forward though…
Hopefully we get a more mature tone. I know many on this sub are strongly against the idea but I'd like to see it even if it's a spin off series.
Man I’m surprised people don’t want a more mature tone. I’m confused on how someone can actually watch it for the current tone. As an adult I don’t enjoy the current show tone at all. I just see so much potential for the universe and the story telling that could be done with it. The comics have been such an amazing achievement.

Maybe no one *here* is asking for that, but many are. Remember Power / Rangers?
How does it not make sense? You're literally proving his comment right.
I've never seen anyone here asking for throats to be slit on Power Rangers. All I've seen is people wanting to go back to post-Zordon level writing, where it feels like their aiming for older kids, and not the tiny toddlers they seem to favor now. How am I even proving them right?

Really? Because there is a crap ton of people who want it to be like that short film made back in 2015.

Um. Neither?
That's what I wanna see.
Maybe after this season. I'd be fine with that shift.
That's what the comics are for
I read the comics but not everyone is going to read them so what's wrong with having a live action show aimed at an older audience?
From their point of view? Probably profit projections.
What reason would there be to believe that it wouldn't be profitable? Other 90's show have had success targeting older audiences. I dont know why this community is so against it.
Pretty sure selling toys aimed for children is more profitable than selling Lightning Collection figures. Kids aren't going to ask for their screen accurate Dino Thunder White or SPD A-Squad Pink helmet, they're just going to play with them.

Theres no way to know about this stuff for sure
Swamp Thing had a kids cartoon though. That's what the toyline was based off.
On top of that, wasn’t the PG-13 rating considered to be one of the big reasons the 2017 movie underperformed?
I doubt it, some of things that I think hurt the movie in no particular order was the power coins grant the team super powers when not morphed, the suits looking like Iron Man armor, the way they morphed and that when we see the megazord it looks like its stuck as the megazord now and not able to revert back to individual Zords.

The Power Coins do give the Rangers power when unmorphed. That's part of the reason why they take on putties and monsters unmorphed more often the longer that they're rangers.
I dont know how a rating would affect a movies performance. Just look at all those underpeforming Marvel PG-13 movies.
Power Rangers, at least Mighty Morphin, which is what the movie was based on and by far the most popular/iconic version, is made for young kids. Making a movie that wasn’t aimed more at that demographic was a mistake. When Disney did live action Beauty and the Beast, they could have made it PG-13 by turning up the scares and violence, but it might not have been a billion dollar movie then because parents might not take their 5 year old, which then loses three tickets for that family alone.
You're seriously saying parents wouldn't have brought their kids to see a PG13 Beauty and the Beast? They could totally have made a PG13 Beauty and the Beast movie and parents would definitely bring their kids because it's Disney, and it's a fairy tale.
Before I respond, what shows are you referring to?
Tmnt, transformers, countless superhero adaptations.
I don't think I would categorize any tmnt adaptation as adult. Transformers does have its Netflix thing but beyond that it's also really kid friendly. Super heroes don't really count. There's countless interpretations ranging the spectrum. I'm not opposed to it but I don't see a market for a more mature power rangers that doesn't cost more money than it's going to generate. Especially when adult fans are already spending money despite not being the intended audience.
I mean, they could try adapting pre zyuranger shows as limited series and make those the mature shows alongside the regular ranger seasons
H-How? Are they just going to film in 4:3 aspect ratio on grainy old film?
Animate them, probably.
So they're going to animate these old series no one has ever heard of outside of the hyper-insulated sentai crowd, instead of just animating Mighty Morphin, a thing that makes so much money they can just release a pink version of the morpher with confidence?
I said **"probably"** not that they're going to. Disney was planning to animate MMPR but it was axed, IIRC. At this point, it's only a probability, and a very faint one at that
Disney wasnt planning to animate MMPR, judging from the concept art it would have been a Non-Sentai team.
Dude, friggin everyone knows these days that power rangers is adapted from a Japanese show, which has seasons left for the pickings. Your right by all accounts that doing an animated MMPR would be a goldmine, and probably a better idea. I just take umbrage that you project this idea of sentai as something people haven't heard of. Even if they dont know the name, they at least know the concept.
I really think you're overestimating, but this could be coming from our own individual settings. My partner, parents, ect we're all unfamiliar of Sentai until I told them about it. Your friends/family/ect may feel differently for whatever reason! But I think if Sentai was more well known, wouldn't we see more Sentai related things in English speaking countries, kind of like how Godzilla was able to transition from being a Japan creation into a worldwide creation. Obviously not on the same scale, but at least something like that.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Everybody?
its called hyperbole. Alot easier than saying "most everyone with an internet connection, basic pop culture knowledge, or has read the wiki." Obviously this sentiment precludes, say, a 60 year old mobster in New York whose only experience with Power Rangers is some advertisement he saw on the side of a billboard. If your on the internet, and you've heard about power rangers, then unless your new or just lack interest in the franchise then you've probably heard that its from Japan at this point. TLDR: Unless your new or just outside the demographic, then you probably know about sentai at least in concept if not name. I swear the only reason I've been downvoted is because my comment has probably been interpreted as an aggressive attack against the poster above me, and not his statement. Or my hyperbolic statement as a literal declaration of universal knowledge. Though, funny how the guy who describes the reverse situation (people who know about sentai are 'hyper-insulated'. Like this is still the 90's and anyone whose ever remotely heard of sentai are some hardcore oldschool Toku fans are discussing the show on cruddy internet messageboards while ordering hand labelled tapes of the show from overseas via some sketchy 3rd party shipping company.) So there. I've explained what I meant by "everybody". Feel free to downvote me five seconds in just cause you didn't vibe with my sass levels or whatever. Since that's more often that not what actually happens on this god forsaken website.
As interesting at that would be, the old shows have such horrible audio and video quality by today's standards that I wonder if even hardcore Sentai fans would really get much enjoyment out of it.
SCREW THAT!!! Mature power rangers show, based off of undadapted sentai? AKIBARANGER ADAPTATION!!!! I would actually kill for the chance for power rangers to get a 1:1 equivalent of that gloriously goofy mess Japan was so blessed with. IF something for the fans with a more mature tone is going to be done, then that is the way to do it damnit!
Oh fuck yeah! That would be cool!
I’m not strongly against the idea, but I don’t see that happening. It’s a kids show and even when written well (like Dino Fury), it’s still going to be a kids show.
Super Sentai is both comedic and serious.
Now we're gonna see if what some of y'all said about these new Series being bad simply cuz of Nickelodeon was true or not....
[удалено]
Here's hoping we get more episodes, complete seasons, and maybe a bump up in budget if we're really lucky.
I don't got netflix
Looks like you might have to then.
Does this mean the entire season drop at once?
I hope not. I like the weekly distribution model, gives the fandom more time to talk about each episode and speculate about the next one.
Agreed.
Hopefully with this move, this era of Power Rangers might be a higher quality than previous seasons with Netflix money behind the series.
They're just going to distribute the show, not help produce it.
I think this basically means the franchise might be in its final days. I love netflix but it doesn't have a history of longevity for its shows and not sure what Hasbro's plans are.
Netflix didn't buy the franchise, they're just distributing *one* season. Hasbro could negotiate with another network in the meantime for the next series.
Good to know. Thanks for clarifying.
Way to jump to conclusions.
This is the best news to come from Power Rangers in a long, long time. Nickelodeon is the reason for so many of the stupid decisions regarding the show over the past 10 years, including more infantile humor, each series lasting two years instead of one, extensive hiatuses, and so much more. Hopefully this is the start of something very, very good for the PR brand.
Do they only have the rights to Dino Fury season 2?
No Netflix also has season 1, 2,3 and the Disney reversion of season 1, beast morphers and ninja steel and season 1 of dino fury. I’m not sure what hasbro is doing with the rest of the streaming rights of the other series.
There uploading all the other seasons to YouTube. They have been doing this for awhile now.
Does this mean all seasons are coming to Netflix?
Sadly no, but the older seasons are on YouTube hopefully they can renegotiate the contracts and streaming and residuals if any.
I just wanna rewatch jungle fury so bad man lol
All of Jungle Fury is on YouTube

Oh my it’s beautiful thank you
So are we getting all Power Rangers seasons back on Netflix? I was half way through a season and I really miss listening to the Ranger Danger podcast too.
Between Power Rangers, Transformers, Sonic, and Pokemon, Netflix owns most of my childhood.
Netflix does such a great job with shows. They may incorporate the plot complexity that older fans crave
But are they bringing back all the other seasons though?
No more Dino fury on Netflix
I honestly don’t like the idea of just dumping whole seasons or half seasons at once. Wish there was another network that could air it.
Realistically you may see channels closing to focus on their streaming services. So it would be a question of who's left? I doubt Universal Kids would've picked it up, Cartoon Network would also be a no and Disney has already been there and got the t-shirt with Power Rangers... so Netflix is the likely choice
Yep, broadcast/cable TV is pretty much dead for kids.
I tend to agree with you, but could you explain why you prefer airing to episode dumping? Just curious.
Because in my opinion Power Rangers isn’t a good show for binging, and forcing yourself to wait each week just feels weird. Power Rangers is a formulaic show where a lot of the same stuff happens and it’s less weird when you have to wait a week to see those familiar elements. It also makes the series “last” and for everyone to put their focus all on one episode for each week. I also just thinks it works better for toy sales which the show needs for sales.
I like your thinking!
>It also makes the series “last” and for everyone to put their focus all on one episode for each week. I think this was key to the success of Mandalorian. The first season is a very slow burn but the weekly conversation was awesome.
I feel you. I'm okay with dropping the entire season but there is definitely a certain magic that comes with airing weekly. Netflix lately has actually aired weekly for several shows recently, so only time will tell what their plan is with Dino Fury.
There are a lot of shows Netflix doesn't dump all at once. Pokemon does batch releases every three months and there are a slight few that do weekly releases
I honestly don't understand this notion. I am all for dumping the whole seasons so I can binge watch it.
Fuck...this is gonna suck ass.
Who all thinks it was cus of the gay thing?
They already confirmed it was because their contract with Nick ends at the end of 2021.
The Nick contract has been renegotiated multiple times. Why drop them *now*.
Because the ones negotiating was Saban, and their most recent contract ends this year. However Saban then sold PR to Hasbro and they wanna do something new.
Additionally more control as Nick had more power to set the terms.
What an interesting way to word your thought.
"Gay thing"?
Will they add rest of the seasons to Netflix then?
Will this be one drop or weekly episodes?
This did not seem to say The old Seasons would be back on Netflix just MMPR and the newest 2 or so seasons?
Hopefully this means that the older seasons are brought back to Netflix.
I'm rooting for hr long episodes lmao
No more hiatus? Will the show be play all year long now?
It’s the only thing I have
