So my kid tells me that they're doing a new Power Rangers show and I google it. Sure enough, Power Rangers: Samurai coming on... nickelodeon???
Does this mean Disney is done with Power Rangers already?
Anyway, PR hasn't been good in several seasons (or maybe I outgrew it at some point), but for nostalgia's sake, I'm glad to see that there will be new Rangers stories.

It changed stations a few times and honestly, I dont care in the slightest WHERE it is. I like Power Rangers and Im looking forward to it (especially since I dont have Jetix, but I have Nickelodeon, so yeah, I'll watch it).
WK, give RPM a chance. Its actually, honest to god, good. Both serious and can still make jokes about its own tropes.

It'll probably go over about as well wiht the kids. I mean, I liked transformers and GI Joe when I was kid, and kids nowadays like GI Joe, and Transformers. Kids when I was growing up were power rangers fans, and sure enough power ranger fans still exist today. So, I think the new power rangers will go over about as well with the kids today.

RPM wasn't awful, and I definitely agree that they did a great job of poking fun at the whole concept of being Power Rangers. The only thing I felt it lacked was the heroic quality of some of the earlier seasons (Wild Force... absolutely epic finale) |

Well, Samurai Sentai was one of the better Japanese seasons - if they can translate that over, the PR version should be pretty good as well.

Dont get your hopes too high. CarRangers was also a hit in Japan, while in Usa it was... well, Turbo. Argh.

Personally I don't care whether something was a hit or big in Japan. The humor doesn't translate to America (AT ALL) and the themes often don't either. Just because they use some of the action sequences from the Sentai show doesn't mean the American show "follows" the Japanese one.

I know. Just saying to not get hopes too high, or we'll get burned. I'll treat it like I treat every single PR season (I liked some of them, but most of them were avarage at best).

I actually saw the Japanese version of this one, my old roommate showed it to me. I find it hilarious because the Japanese version was made to teach children how to write..hirigana, oh I can't remember specifically but that was the main idea of it, they're powers were based on writing symbols.

I heard weirder ideas from Japan. I cant help but admire their passion when it comes to Sentai and Henshin heroes, but then again- we have our own brand of superheroes (or at least, you damn yanks do... stupid poland).

A word very different from awesome comes to mind when I see that. But at least its not some more ninja/samurai crap (but then, Mystic Force wasn't ninja/samurai crap... and it was awful too)
