What do you think the biggest flaw that is keeping Power Rangers from reaching its full potential ?

Budget constraints

Poor special effects

Poor script/ Cheesy dialogue

Been forced to rely on Sentai concepts and footage .

Censorship and Regulations

Public image as a ''goofy kids show''.

Well, I think it would depend on the season when it comes down to it. MMPR had so much cheesey dialouge it exuded nacho dip. Some seasons had poor CGI Zords or monsters, while others handeled it better.

However, I think the two biggest ones may be Sentai footage and public image. Using RPM for example. I believe a few eps of the first part of the season are all Original Footage, due to Eddie not wanting the Zords to talk and not digging the comedy of the GoOnger Sentai, when he was wanting a Terminator-esque style show, though I could be mistaken.

For public image as a whole; Fans have been around since the very first episode. We literally grew up on the show. Some stopped watching at certain parts, some kept on, some came back, etc. Even though we are older, we still love the show, and feel it unncessesary to 'dumb down' a good piece of work for a supposed demographic of little kids.

Kids are smart; they may be developing and learning, but they know whats going on. My two year old nephew can tell me whats happening on an episode of MMPR or DC. We, as the parents/family/teachers, help them learn more and more, and so they shouldn't have to be talked down too when it comes to teaching things like teamwork and the like.

Us older fans feel that PR can be great if given a season that flows and speaks well to all ages; look at Dino Charge. At the moment, its got great action and good acting, and it doesnt talk down to those watching it, unlike MF/SMF.

Budget constraints and being forced to rely on the Sentai footage at times. Censorship isn't really a big issue since that entirely depends on the network usually except for when Disney had owned the franchise when it was a big deal.

actually it still had Japanese footage in those eps but most of it was stock footage such as the Venjix Palace releasing the Drones and the Rangers combining their weapons. Some of the footage against Venjix's first monster was also Sentai. There was also a lot of Sentai footage in Ranger Green's first episode.

The multiple production changes that have damaged the brand and the franchise the past 15 years or so. To the point that Judd Lynn can't even write good PR anymore.

WHY do you post here? WHY? All you do is spew contempt.

That's what we have been trying to figure out.

no doubt. Massive Ego is a nightmare of a person to see when he posts here since he can't post anything positive about the show even if his life were to depend on it.
