Devidramon Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I went to that site a while back, and it turns out Cole doesn't have the Animarium Armor. Also, only Merrick has a Savage Cycle. And, no Forever Red or TF/WF crossover, just one ranger apiece from five random past seasons against yet another org of the day: Rakushaasa, who steals the Rangers' courage (a plot we've seen three times in the US.) The general orgs have a face theme, as we know. Rakushaasa is the hair. I won't say he's the [i]most[/i] ridiculous thing I've seen in PR, but he comes close. Yeah, Dairanger (S2) did have different costumes from Zyuranger (S1) as well as different people, different storyline, different everything. They've had the new-season-is-new-universe thing from the outset in Japan. We only see one Dairanger costume in PR: The White Ranger. Also, Kakuranger (S3) used the Aquitian costumes all along. The Alien Rangers arc was a nod to Kakuranger, using sentai footage in normal-sized-monster battles for the first time in two years. One thing I wish they'd kept from Kakuranger: Instead of one evil cat/girl, there were five, the Hanarangers. Rito (whose ***. equivalent is more serious than the one we know) turns five cats into five evil ninja Ranger babes. Their costumes were pretty cool.

Devidramon Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 I try to avoid spoilers. After having Digimon Tamers completely ruined for me by knowing exactly what would happen before it did, where you'll find future information about any show I watch, you won't find me. I know it'll be called Ninja Storm, the Japanese version's called Hurricanger, and the Blue Ranger's a girl. Beyond that, I don't know and don't want to know. Say, Shadow, the thing about the weird armor: That funky getup that Wes has, from the Battle Fire, and the sword that's almost as big as he is. That's pretty bad. Andros' Battlized form's pretty weird too. And, of coruse, there are the Mega Battles and when Carter's bike attaches to him. That's what's wrong with quite a few of them: They're so big and bulky that the Ranger wearing it shouldn't be able to stand up, much less fight.

Omar Harris Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Unfortunately the last two episodes won't be shown until next week. About PRNS, I know there will be a red, blue and yellow, and a second team consisting of its own red and blue rangers. And of course there will be a green ranger later on. Blue on the Ninja team (the teams are Ninja and Shadow in Japan) is a girl and I heard rumors that blue shadow is a girl too, but I'm not sure. Also, the shows being filmed in New Zealand this time around Cole's Animarium armor is probably the only cool looking one of the group because it actually fits, in my opinion. Also, did anyone see the IsisMegazord Predator Mode? That was awesome. I read on Ranger Central that there is supposed to be a red gorilla who joins up with shark, tiger, eagle, bison and elephant zord to form the Ultimas Megazord but *Spoiler* Ultimas will only be a toy, not a show character. :bawl: *End Spoiler* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devidramon Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Red Gorilla (and therefore Ultimas) was in a Japanese movie called Fire Mountain Howls. I doubt it'll ever be PR-ized for the US. But, considering how Wild Force usually goes, I'm not too distraught about that. Let's get this season over with and bring on Ninja Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devidramon Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Sorry for double-posting, but considering the time between it, I think you'll agree that it isn't spamming. Everything that happened in today's ep is not surprising. This time of year, the main villain always gets superpowered and Zords start blowing up. However, this time around it's sadder: This time, the zords are alive. So, while most zords are robots with a marginal sentience and more can always be built (how many zords did the Morphin team wreck?) this wasn't just the loss of battle vehicles, this was pure slaughter, and if it [i]didn't[/i] happen every year it would have been horrifying. (It wasn't like when the Dinozords went down in Green With Evil, back when it was something we thought couldn't happen. I was almost crying. {Keep in mind that that was in season one, this is season ten, I'm 19 now, so do the math and it's not [i]that[/i] pathetic.}) It was so sad, too, when Kite died. I loved the part where they were cheering on the Megazord, and the way it actually looked at them and back to Master Org. I actually wanted the zords to survive, rather than "oh, no, they lost their best weapon." Haven't had that since Lost Galaxy. (Man, I felt sorry for Stratoforce and Centaurus. Imagine being covered head to toe in Sting Wingers, all those weapons and yet helpless.) As always, the last episode is also an episode of firsts: The first time we've ever seen someone actually go from the ground to the Animarium. The new morphing sequence. First time we got most of their last names. We even get Merrick's. Not the best PR ending ever, though. There wasn't a trace of Adler in Master Org. I was expecting him to act more like himself. He was bigger, stronger, but he wasn't the guy that made The Master's Last Stand so spectacular. In fact, he was more reminiscent of the original Master Org from three thousand years ago. I guess the Org Heart is, well, the heart of all things Org. So, he gets some of the oringinal Master Org into him. It also explains his new look, made up of parts of other Orgs. He had several Mandilok lips and Retinax eyes, and one Toxica helmet arm and one Jindrax-helmeted arm. I didn't notice any of Nayzor on him, unless you count the nose on his chest (which I don't because it's part of the face on his chest, and we've seen faces on chests before, and they often had noses.) He also carries the Nexus Blade that Mandilok, Retinax, and Nayzor combined their weapons into a couple eps back. Of course, this being Wild Force, it's also an episode of "Haven't we seen this before?" For those who don't remember or haven't been watching from day one, way back in the first season, there was a monster called Hatchasaurus, whose heart was a computer called Cardiatron. Until they took it out, the pieces of Hatchasaurus would always find their way back to Cardiatron and reassemble. Hatchasaurus went kablooey three or four times. The second time around, one of Lord Zedd's reassembled Cardiatron and Hatchasaurus as a distraction. They didn't take out Cardiatron, so, we must assume that the Hatchasaurus still lives. Also, their courage bringing back the Zords: In the Digimon second season finale (Digimon's also produced by TOEI, I might add) a past villain called Myotismon used the Dark Spores to transform himself into MaloMyotismon and he was beaten when the Digi-Destined stopped fearing him and got the kids that had been used to incubate the Dark Spores to do the same. (Though it was a horrid ep because MaloMyotismon (not-so-affectionately nicknamed MarshMaloMyotismon on quite a few Digimon boards. I think it started with Digimon Lab.) started to dissolve as the kids talked about their hopes and dreams. "I wanna be a teacher!" [MarshMalo's arms disappear] "I wanna draw comic books!" [MarshMalo's wings disappear] and so forth. And he didn't put up that much of a fight when he was at full strength. I'm a big fan of Myotismon, so that ep actually makes me angry, even looking back on it more than a year later. A great villain like him should not be reduced to a pathetic MarshMalo who talks the talk but is too sorry to get off of his newly chrome-plated butt and fight.) Though I'm not sad to see Wild Force go, this is still a sad day for PR fans: Next season will be produced in Australia by Village Roadshow. (I think that's what they're called.) They're the folks behind The Matrix, so it should be awesomeness squared. But, I hate to see the entire old production company go. And all the voice actors we're used to. Remember the voice that said "Next time, on Power Rangers Wild Force!" and did the introduction for part two? That's Dave Mallow, and he did that every week in the earlier seasons. "The next time, on Power Rangers" preview at the end of the very first Power Rangers ep was done by him, and though later seasons didn't always have it, opting to have a character say "Next time on Power Rangers: Whatever" and just show scenes, whenever they did do an old-style narration, it was him, to this very day. He was also the announcer at the soccer game in Monitoring Earth, and the "...a sleep that may last forever." at the end. All narrations like that were him. But, I doubt he's willing to move to Australia just to say 'next time on Power Rangers.' So, we have heard the last of David J. Mallow in PR. Danny Wayne Stallcup (aka Danny Wayne, aka Danny Stallcup) played Jindrax. He was also always a Putty, Cog, Tenga, etc every season. He's the most recurring villain in PR history in a way: Every set of Rangers had to deal with him on a weekly basis in some form. But never again. The battle of the unmorphed Rangers against the Putrids is the last PR battle that will ever be choreographed by Koichi Sakamoto. This is the last episode Jonathan Tzachor will ever produce. No more Amit Beaumik, who, though he's not a day one name, he did write Forever Red and Reinforcements From the Future, two of the best PR crossover eps ever and I wanted to see more of what he can do. No more Scott Page-Pagter, no more Worth Keeter, no more Suzi Shimoyama, none of those people whose names I could count on seeing every week since I was nine years old. This is truly the end of an era. I'm optimistic for next season because Village Roadshow rocks, but still, it's very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I've read on Ranger Central board that evry four shows starts a new PR era Mighty Morhin, Zeo, Turbo, In Space, all connected by the same and/or recycled cast Lost Galaxy, Lighspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, stand alone series. I wonder if Ninja Storm is the start of a completely new era, with the new production team and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrat Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 hmm interesting....If thats true, I cant wait to see what is in store for the new "Era".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdsy Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 [COLOR=deeppink]I didn't like that episode too much. *shrugs* The best part of it was the Peacock Zord. ^_^ I thought that the Zen-Aku thing was wierd. Can this guy die? Is he like Darkonda or something? The suits for Ninja Storm look great. I can't wait to see what it's going to be like.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 The finale was interesting. It seemed a little odd that Master Org could destiy the zords with so much ease. It would have better if they put up more of a struggle. And with all the Wild Zords. If only they had all materialized instead of being little crystal thingies. Too bad Jindrax and Toxica wern't in this. I'd would have liked to see what they've been doing after the fight is over. Zen-aku was odd. He just comes back. I bet he's just a spirit sorto thing that can never die. But i thought after he destoyed him the first time, he should use the Wolf Mask as an armor-thingy. Oh well. Can't wait for Ninja Storm.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devidramon Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Yeah, it was a bit too easy. I mean, one swing of the Nexus Blade destroys the Predazord and kills Animus, just like that? Every bad guy to carry a sword has given the Zords of the year a slash like that. It was really anticlimactic for him to to swing the sword like a baseball bat, there's the usual sparks, a bright light... and then the Animal Crystals crack and Kite's lying on the ground. Also can't say much for the way Animus pretty much dropped in with no further ado. I'd have had him show up early in the ep to warn them that Master Org would be so powerful and to tell them about the Org Heart. (As Cole would've had no way of knowing what it was, actually.) I thought Toxica and Jindrax would be in it. In the preview for the finale, at the point where Master Org does the spin-thing and appears in the city, you can see Toxica and Jindrax looking up at him. In that scene in the actual episode, they aren't there. Having Zen-Aku around ought make the crossover episode they'll eventually do with Ninja Storm interesting. I wonder if we'll see Toxica and Jindrax then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrat Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 ARe you even sure that they'll do a cross-over episode, I mean since there is now a new production team and this is supoosivly a new "erA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 They have always done a crossover with the old guard, except in Turbo since the old guard where the Turbo rangers. Zeo-Alien Rangers In Space-Justin from Turbo, Adam from MMPR, and later all of the remaining "6th rangers" Lost Galaxy-Astro Rangers Lightspeed Rescue-Galaxy Rangers Time Force-Lightspeed Rangers Wild Force-Time Force Rangers, and later, all red rangers What that guy meant about a "new era" is that he felt that the Power-that-be of PR would try to take the series in a new direction. He's been partially right so far, with the production being in New Zealand. He said that the PTB will probably have a new direction as far as the storylines go, but what direction that is is still a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdsy Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 [COLOR=deeppink]Eep! Get back on the main page! *smacks topic* Actually, Turbo did have a crossover of sorts. It was in "Passing the Torch", when Tommy, Kat, Tanya, and Adam gave their powers to TJ, Ashly, Cassie, and Carlos. Ooh, I am getting excited about Ninja Storm. Rangers as enemies may have been done, but each time they were Rangers who were created by the enemy, and they usually only appeared in a couple of episodes at the most. This time, I think they're human, and they have it so that they're the main enemy! Fantastic! ... or at least that's what I get from the commercials.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 I wish they'd use the ranger actors from Hurricanger... Even though they probably don't speak English the looked more NinjaStrom-like. About the enemies. i hope they have the same ones from Hurricanger. The two sidekicks (Toxica and Jindrax etc) have these really weird hair styles... Anyways so we have names of the rangers. Red Ranger - Shane Yellow Ranger - Dustin Blue Ranger - (Have to catch that preview ^_^( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
