Anime Pink Power Ranger toy????

[G/S/B Master]

[COLOR=skyblue]In the First digimon movie for the US.Did I just heard that Kari in our war game part "I got my friend a pink power ranger toy?" then why did Tai tryed to grab the present???Isn't he too you know old to play with little power ranger toys.[/[/COLOR]


Edit:hehehehehehehehehe step one complete.Is this better or worst???

[Devidramon]

He's trying to take it because he knows it will annoy Kari. The usual brother/sister thing.

And that light green text hovers somewhere between "Almost impossible to read" and "[i]entirely[/i] impossible to read." For the love of the Goddramon, change it!

[Solo Tremaine]

Maybe he's a secret Power Rangers fan... And I'm (almost) 17 and I still buy toys. But not Power Rangers ones. That is strange. They probably felt they had to put a reference to Bandai in there just because.

G/S/B- it's okay to read if you highlight it. Otherwise it's really difficult.

[Hyper]

when i was younger i liked the power rangers...
but now i like digimon and there is a lot of stuff in between.

[Solo Tremaine]

Yeah, I did too, when I was about ten. But I don't any more. After seeing how bad the acting is and how there isn't any plot I lost interest. And I didn't think the toys were all that great either. It took five years for Digimon to come along and fill the void of not-so-good TV...

[Devidramon]

The acting is only really bad in Wild Force. In fact, [i]everything[/i] is really bad in Wild Force. But Morphin, Zeo, Space, and Time Force were great.

[Omar Harris]

Hey, I like Wild Force. Well not really. I just watch for the zords (cause there's a new one like every episode). The acting is bad in all the other Ranger shows before Wild Force too, (Time Force, Lost Galaxy, and that god-awful Lightspeed Rescue). Notice something though? Like PR Digimon had like two shows that were telling the same story, quit, and started making independent shows with new casts, stories, episodes, concepts, etc. PR did the same. They recycled the same cast and/or leftover newbies for like four shows before finally using new everything for later shows. The only difference is that Digimon's spinoffs don't have past castmembers (besides Digimon.) come back for more. In every PR spinoff the last team makes at least one more appearance even though their careers are done. I see no point to that really.

[Solo Tremaine]

That does seem a little pointless. Probably just trying to delay the inevitable (hehehe). But I don't watch Power Rangers any more. Full stop. Every time I turned on the TV and PR was on it looked to be a different series every single time. It just seemed like a big marketing ploy to me. And nothing beats Dragonzord anyway.

[Omar Harris]

Yeah, those were the days. But they got rid of green ranger like every five seconds (though I'm not complaining about white ranger). It is just a big marketing scam. PR has like no audience left so they try to make as many spinoffs to keep the show fresh (not working). But independent spinoffs in Digimon keep teh show fresh because not everything is recycled. Notice how in PR they have the same Zords and storylines that they had in the original, 11 years ago. Digimon keeps the series alive with new ideas though sadly those will have to end sometime. I'm hoping that Digimon ends at like S6 (since its already planned) and that it goes out with a bang rather than a wimper (or nothing at all like PR).

[Hyper]

HEy i'm ten and i dont like it!

[Senor Ding Dong]

*sigh* yes the friggin' ep. with both teams appears next week,.

[Shaun]

I liked Power rangers. My fav was the ninja rangers. I quite after Zeo. I did like Time Force though. And most of you know how old I am, and that I have a rather large (and valuable, I might add) collection of digimon and various other toys, including some [i]original[/i] power rangers stuff. So what? :)

[Devidramon]

The era with Rita and Zedd together had the best episodes. I also loved Lord Zedd's spaceship. If anybody hasn't seen it, it looks like a solid iron version of Majiramon and it can level a planet with a single shot, but guzzles fuel like nothing else. He hides it on the dark side of the moon. So the [i]Serpentera[/i] chases the Rangers from planet to planet, blowing the crust right off of one (Strange how distant alien worlds use the same types of cars we do. :p) and when the Rangers get back, it's finally headed for Earth. They trash the Monster of the Week, get the power transferred to the three new rangers.... just in time for Zedd's unstoppable superweapon to touch down. The thing is so huge that, if we scale it down so that [i]Serpentera[/i] is the size of Majiramon, then the tallest building comes up to Suzie's ankle, and if she's not careful, she might step on it. And then Zedd gets ready to throw down and there's nothing the Rangers can do about it. Zedd pushes the button, the weapon draws power... and shuts down, along with everything else. Out of power. Goldar barely manages to transfer power to the engines... just enough to get home. Now [i]that[/i] was an episode.

Say, remember Ninjor? This big warrior with the little high-pitched voice? He's hilarious. He either reminds me of Tentomon or Hawkmon. Say, any of you folks who keep up with VAs know who else Kurt Strauss has played? Same for Oliver Page, aka Klank?

Speaking of PR actors, Vaughn Armstrong, aka Admiral Forrest, the admiral in [i]Enterprise,[/i] was once on Power Rangers. I didn't see the episode, but he's listed as having played Agent something. (Don't remember his name. I'm pathetic. But it was a human name and his title was Agent, so he's probably some CIA type.)

[Muse]

I used to LOVE the Morphing power Rangers(first)BUt after they stoppped making them,I lost intrest.I mean,In EVERY episode after Morphin,some bad becomes huge and they have to fight them in their stupid Robot things,what kind of story is that!?:flaming:

[Shaun]

Serpintera was awsome! He does look like majiramon. Hmmm.....
Hehehehee....You knowwhy I liked power rangers the most? Kimberly! (Amy Jo Johnson). She is hot!

[Devidramon]

It's not about the battle, it's about what happens before. Each monster has a new gimmick, so that the only repetitive part is the battle at the end. It bugs me that all fights go the same way, but the first 25 minutes of each ep is what you're there for. Billy and Kimberly switch bodies, or Zack and Billy see the other rangers as Putty Patrollers because of Zedd's spell, or the monster is infecting the people in the city with some disease and they've got to survive long enough to actually be around for the zord fight. Or maybe the zords have been hijacked, Rita and Mondo are attacking at the same time, [i]plus[/i] the Aquatians are back. The fights are formulaic, but most episodes offer something different than the one before. Most of the monsters are memorable, and Rita always gave them such cool names. The Slippery Shark, the Terror Toad, the Fierce Fighting Flea, the Most Menacing Minotaur... just seeing what the monster would look like, and what the bad guys' preemptive strike would be (The Rangers turned into punks for the Terror Toad, the Flea gave everybody a terrible itch... I forgot what Minotaur did, but it was the first time we saw the Megablaster. It was a cool ep.)

I'm still sad that Thuy Trang died last year. She played Trini Kwan, the original Yellow Ranger. She was so beautiful, and I loved the way she talked. And man, when she let her hair down... whoa. Trang's the first person on TV I was ever really obsessed with. She also played Kali in one of the Crow movies. I hadn't followed up on the PR much, so I just found out that Trang had died in a car wreck sometime in September. Reading about it felt like a punch in the stomach. They say that, had she been wearing her seatbelt, there's a good chance she'd still be alive. [i]Always[/i] buckle up, seriously.

[vegeta rocker]

I had a thing for the green ranger. but man that show sucked after they redid them again and again...
the one thuy came out in was the crow:city of angels.
how sad she died, she was cooler than kimberly that girl was annoying.
Im 17 and i have power ranger sheets and curtains....is that bad?
if it is i can put my ninja turtles ones back on.

[Omar Harris]

Serpentera was awesome. I saw that episode you are talking about Devi. I think the show lost its luster after the Ninja Rangers series. Zeo and In Space are my two favs but neither compare to the original. I hated Turbo, it was too comical, recycled the old characters again (although they got rid of them), and didn't have any decent episodes till the last two. I could care less about Lightspeed Rescue, Lost Galaxy was ok, and Time Force was a big improvement, although the finale to the finale sucked and was just too anti-climatic. Wild Force could do much better.

The acting in the series has lost its touch and the show does have some plotholes. Whatever happened to Demetria? If Zedd, Rita, and Divatox were all good people at first, how do they have relatives who were bad guys? Were they kidnapped and raised by the forces of evil? Also in the last episode of Time Force, Eric mentions that he didn't like Wes because Wes had everything handed to him on a silver platter and Eric had to struggle to survive. How is that when in Eric's debut it mentioned he went to prep school with Wes? his parents had to be well off, not struggling for that. And it is constantly mentioned that the Titanium Ranger, Ryan, was raised by Diabolico for 20 years yet Ryan is a little kid (at least 9) in the flashback, and is 20 when he returns. And why do they keep using the same Zords? The lion, wolf, tiger, rescue zords, all have been done before.

If I could write that series I would give it a complete overhaul. Younger characters, new suits, new attitudes. I mean the characters don't act twentieth century enough for my taste. Its just not the same show it was 11 years ago.

[Devidramon]

Don't they give it a complete overhaul with younger characters, new suits, and new attitudes every other year? I think that what they need is more complex characters and an ending that doesn't leave things perfect and cheerful. They need to do a Tamers season, one that plays for keeps. And one deadly serious recurring villain, brutal like Zen-Aku or the original Green Ranger when he was evil. (Love that laugh!) None of the playing around that most bad guys do, and none of the dancing fighting style that's more for show than for pummeling. Someone whose every encounter with the Rangers makes you turn your head and wince at least once.

Also, I'd like to be shown around the universe. You know how in the Morphin/Zeo/Turbo/Space continuity, all these planets are always being mentioned, but we hardly ever see them? Wherever the Veroks, (or Varoks, whatever the bounty hunters in Revelations of Gold were called) came from, as well as Aquitar, Triphoria, wherever the Bookala was going, wherever Rita and Zedd came from? We never saw enough of these other worlds. I thought we finally would in Power Rangers In Space, but even it took place primarily on Earth. Though we did get to see the universe somewhat, all too often we're back in Angel Grove.

Also, I'd like to have seen some follow-up on old characters. Goldar once told Jason, "My life is dedicated to destroying you!" Well, now ("now" being during Power Rangers In Space) all things Power Rangers related have left the planet. Jason can yell "It's Morphin Time" until he's blue in the face, and nothing's gonna happen. What if Goldar paid him a visit? Also, whatever became of Scorpina? Once Zedd showed up, she seemed to vanish entirely. She wasn't even in the background in Villain Collaboration scenes. Though a regular between Green With Evil and The Mutiny, she appeared once after The Mutiny that I know of: it turned out that Adam's date for a dance was really her, luring him into a trap. I'd like to see more of her.

And, of course, my all-time favorite bad guy, in fact, my second-favorite character of all, (Trini will always be #1) the awesome Ecliptor. He rocked. His powers, his illusions, the way he'd appear out of nowhere. Plus, there's the way that he'd taken care of Astronema since she was young. He always obeyed her, but was never a flunky or a goon. More like a knight in the service to his queen. He was the first villain the writers dared to give a soul. While most were evil for its own sake, Ecliptor served Astronema out of duty, and friendship. (First time we ever saw friendship on the villains' side.) I wish we'd gotten to know more about who he really was behind the mask.

But the up side to the whole she-bang getting overhauled every so often: When the writers screw up on a season, fear not: in a season and a half, the slate will be clean. Unfortunately, it also means that all good things must come to an end. Good casts with good stories will be gone within two seasons, and there's no telling what we'll get stuck with next. It's a double-edged sword.

One thing they've got to fix: The music. Whatever happened to the great songs from Original and Zeo?

[Omar Harris]

Someone agreees with me on the music. Other questions that have not been answered: Scorpina's disappearance. I wasn't the only who saw that and wondered what happened. Where did Tor, the Shuttle Zord go? And I meant overhaul like Tamers did do Digimon. Everything different, nothing we saw before. Also Goldar is gone Devi. Remember Zordan's death destroyed all evil in the universe, which doesn't explain how Scorpius came about but still. And why didn't they ever show Divatox's mom again? And did you notice that it is mentioned that Demetria has a sister (obviously Divatox) but we never see the two of them interact. There's no insight to their past. That show could use a lot of work.
Ecliptor was a cool. I liked his appearance and the backstory with him and Astronema was touching. I liked that Korone became a Ranger but I expected her to be one of the Astro Rangers instead. Zen-Aku is awesome. The Orgs are horrible villains. Once again nothing beats Mighty Morphin.

[Devidramon]

I mean they should have had Goldar go after Jason during Power Rangers In Space. And Zordon's purifying wave thingy is part of the Duckies-and-Bunnies-ness they need to dispense with. The entire universe fixed at once? On top of that, up until PRiS, Zordon wasn't actually in the jar. He was an actual person who walked on his own two feet (we actually saw him walking around in the flashback in Power Ranger Punks) until Rita zapped him into another dimension. He [i]communicates[/i] via the jar, but the real guy isn't in there. Breaking the jar should just mean he needs a new communication device.

Also, there's a lot of zords floating around. Tor, the Ninja Zords, and the Shogun Zords are still out there, as is the Dragon Zord and Titannus. All things Zeo, including the Zeo Crystal itself, are fine 'n' dandy. The same with all the various vehicles and zords of Turbo, except for the RAM.

Say, remember when Diabolico was pulling Bansheera into what I guess is the PR Monster Afterlife, did you notice the Eye Guy in there?

[Omar Harris]

Yeah I did. Maybe the Demon world is Hell for all of the past monsters. I see what you mean now about Goldar. I liked that guy until Zeo when they made him and Rito Revolto a comic duo instead of the more serious characters (well Goldar at least) they were in the past. (isn't it weird how we went from Digimon to PR?)

I hated the PRiS ending. Lost Galaxy is a giant plothole since Zordan supposedly destroyed all evil in the universe, which means Furio, Scorpius and all the others should hae never existed. Darn writers.

didn't Dark Spector trap Zordan in that tube in PRiS. I think he might have, not sure though. Also I didn't pay much attention to Lightspeed REscue (as you may have noted from other rants) so could someone tell me what was the LifeForce MEgazord and what was it's finishing move like? THat's the only one I didn't remember.

[Hyper]

i liked the ones when they were in space and when zhane went on a date with astronama but turbo rangers were really bad the rest all kinda stunk time force was weird and wild force is one of the best because it has the original concept of a ranger representing something.but i faded out on it long ago.

could someone tell me the name of the seasons in order so i can understand?Whats zeo and serpentera i am so confused.

[Omar Harris]

Ok sit down on this one. It will take a while. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the first and longest of all the series. This is the show in its original form when it came out. The series is made up of three seasons. The first has the Rangers (Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, and Kimberely, the red, black, yellow, pink and blue rangers) fight the witch Rita Repulsa. This is also when they are joined by the Green RAnger, Tommy, who was originally Rita's henchman. The second has the team fight Rita's boss Lord Zed. Serpentera was his Zord, which was a giant (and I mean giant) dragon. Jason, Zack, and Trini (the Red, Black, and Yellow rangers respectively) were also replaced by Rocky, Adam, and Aisha, and Tommy the Green Ranger lost his powers a second time but came back as the new leader, the White Ranger. The Third season brings Rita back as Zed's wife(she infectd him with a love potion) and introduces her brother Rito Revolto and later their father Master Vile. To fight Rito, the Rangers gain ninja powers and zords and ally with Ninjor, the creator of the original power coins (the source of the rangers' powers.)

Briefly in the Master Vile storyline, Vile turned back time to where the Rangers are 2nd graders. They summoned allies called the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers to help them while they collected teh pieces of the Zeo crystal (the item Vile was after) to change time back. THe alien rangers were not a permanent team (since their home planet's surface is 100% water they cannot survive in Earth's atmosphere forever) so after they defeat their archenemy, Hydro Hog they go home. Aisha is replaced by a character named Tanya and Kimberly the pink ranger is replaced by an Aussie named Katherine. Rito and Goldar then blow up the Command Center and the rangers are powerless.

Zeo has the rangers gain their power from the Zeo crystal. Only Billy is excluded from this team since there all only five pieces to the crystal, but he stays behind as a mentor. They fight the Machine Empire, led by King Mondo, and are later joined by a Gold Ranger who passes on his power to Jason, the former red ranger, after losing control of them. The ending has Jason lose control as well and he gives them back to Trey, the lord of Triforia. The 2nd PR movie began Turbo, which has the same team but with Rocky replaced as the blue ranger by a little boy named Justin. In this show they have car-like powers and fight Queen Divatox, a pirate, after they killed her fiance Mailigor in the movie. Tommy, Katherine, Adam, and Tanya are later replaced by TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley after they become old enough to move on to bigger and better things. And Zordon and Alpha 5 are replaced by Demetria (Divatox's sister) and Alpha 6.

In Space saw Zordon get kidnapped by the ultimate evil, Dark Spector, who slowly drains his powers while filling his tank with lava to kill him afterwards. The command center is destroyed for good and all of the rangers except Justin, who has finally reunited with his dad, go into space to save Zordon. They meet Andros, the red Astro Ranger, and he creates new powers for them modeled after his own. They are joined by Zhane, the silver ranger, after he wakes up from cryogenic sleep to recover from injuries and battle Astronema, Dark Spector's heir, who is revealed to be Andros' long lost sister. She and her second-in-command Ecliptor betray Dark Spector who adds metal parts to them to control the duo and make them purely evil. In the end, the Rangers and all of their past allies gather to fight every villain from the past shows. Reluctanly, Andros kills Zordon which releases a wave of energy that "destroys all evil in the universe" killing every villain ever or restoring them to their good forms in the case of Rita, Zed, Divatox and Astronema.

Lost Galaxy is the first spinoff to be completely independent. It has a new cast, Leo, Kendrix, Kai, Damon and Maya (red, pink, blue, green and yellow) who get their powers by pulling the Quasar Sabers from a set of stones. They live on and protect a space colony called Terra Venture which is headed for a new world to colonize. Mike, Leo's older brother, was supposed to be the red ranger but supossedly died in a crevice where he was rescued by a character called Magna Defender and merged with him, to help him control his anger and get them both out of the cave. Magna Defender wants to avenge his son but and doesn't care who he destroys in the process but ultimately sacrifices his life to save Terra Venture from destruction. Mike is freed and gains the Magna Defender's powers to become MD2 basically. The villain is a creature named Scorpius who is later killed by Leo and replaced by his daughter Trakeena. In teh ending they are sent by a villain named Deviot to a place called the Lost Galaxy where they fight Captain Mutiny and free his slaves. When Terra Venture returns to the true galaxy Trakeena and Deviot accidentally merge. Scorpius had a cocoon planned for Trakeena to enter so that she could evolve but she didn't want to be a hideous bug like the rest of her family and ran away only to come back and take her dad's empire when he died. Deviot was obsessed with getting into the cocoon, which is why he feigned loyalty to Scorpius and Trakeena. He pushed Trakeena into the cocoon with him and they merge. THe rangers win as usual, but Terra Venture is practically destroyed. The citizens survive and land on the new world which is revealed to be Miranoi, Maya's homeworld which had been turned to stone in the 2nd eppy. Returning the swords frees Miranoi and peace is achieved.

Lightspeed Rescue returns to Earth where an underwater military base has been established to prevent a group of demons from escaping a tomb they were trapped in millenia ago. The lightspeed rangers were watched over for years and recruited the day the Demons, led by Diabolico, escape. The team includes Chelsea, Dana (the daugther of the bases commander), Joel, Lee, and Carter (yellow, pink, green, blue, red) and are later joined by Dana's presumed dead brother Ryan, the Titanium ranger, who had been raised his entire life by Diabolical as part of a deal with Ryan's and Dana's father to save Ryan's life. Queen Banshera, the Demons' leader, reaches her full power and she and her son Impus who later evolves to Olympus, take over, killing most of their henchmen in the process. The Queen tries to perform a ritual that will raise the Demons to attack Earth but is defeated when Diabolico betrays her after her own betrayal against him. He slices her tentacles so that she fell back in the tomb while fighting Carter.

Time Force: Jennifer, Lucas, Trip, and Michelle (pink, blue, green and yellow) go to 1000 years into the past to chase down the most ruthless criminal, the mutant Ransick. They find out that their morphers won't work until the lead morpher has been reactivated. But it is encoded with the DNA of Jen's fiance Alex who is supposedly (there's that word again) killed by Ransick. But they find a boy named Wes who looks just like Alex (probably his ancestor) and give him the morpher to be the red ranger. They are joined by Eric, the Quantam ranger (which is just a super red ranger) who has a rivalry with Wes since Wes is rich and had all the pleasures of life while Eric had to struggle to get where he is. In the ending, Ransick's henchmen Thrax betrays him and creates the ultimate robot warrior but is recaptured by Ransick and forced to control the machine. Alex reveals that the rangers will save the world in the past and they will die doing so, and Wes sends them back to the future to prevent this. Wes and Eric are supposed to die but the others come back and save them. Ransick finally stops after accidentally injuring his own daughter when she risked her life to save a baby, making both of them realize the frailty of human life. He allows himself to be taken to jail.

And in Wild Force, they get their powers from animal spirits who protect a floating island called the Animarium. They include Danny, Max, Alyssa, and Taylor (black, blue, white, and yellow) and later add Cole, a modern day Tarzan, as the red ranger. They battle the orgs led by Master Org, who might not be the real guy and has some connection to Cole's presumed dead parents. Later Zen-Aku, a duke org, is revealed to be Merick, one of the great warriors who protected the Animarium 3000 years. He is the former lover of the Rangers' mentor Princess Shayla and wears Zen-Aku's mask because he used its power to defeat master org 3000 years ago. The mask took control of him and he allowed the other Warriors to imprison him in a tomb. When he is reawakened by Nazer, he fights the Rangers while struggling to remember his past self. He later removes the mask after learning after the Rangers learn that its power has little effect in the day time and become the Silver ranger.

So far that is where the story is. Every season after In Space has a completely new team, concept, zords, weapons, and everything else rather then spitting back out the same garbage. And in every season the last team makes one final comeback to help the new team out. This weekend will show the Wild Force rangers meet the Time Force rangers. If you have any more questions just PM me. I've seen most of all nine shows so far, (I only keep watching just to keep up with the series for some strange reason) and can answer almost anything. If I can remember that is.

[color=deeppink] [size=1]*sigh* Bad memories....
LOL, anyway, I used to like it when I was 5-7.... I liked the yellow and pink ranger, LOL. I was sortova tomboy back then....
I haven't watched any other power rangers shows since. So I don't really know what the rest were like.....[/color] [/size]
