kamen rider hibiki is thought by many, including me to be a kamen rider in name only. being that the show had no trademark kamen rider elements and it was not well received by fans. i look at the new star trek the same way. it looks like a good movie, but it's not star trek. i think rpm is a good show, but it's not power rangers. plus the thought of all past rangers dead pisses me off. and what about spd, this basicly undoes it due to most of the human species being dead. there would be no way for alien contact or a suitable human stoke but the time it takes place. i loved go-onger and the thought that they turned it into this, atleast the honoured geki with jungle fury, at least in my eyes. anyway, as a standalone it's good, but does anyone else agree that is power rangers in name only.

*sighs* bear rv, what did the do to you, your not cute anymore.

Well Giant Robots, multi color spand.....(Never Mind), weapons that can combinded into an even greater weapon. Yeah to me it is power rangers. Diffrent from other seasons but still is power rangers.

well same with hibiki. different from other seasons but still, guys in multi-coloured armour, rider kick, in one form or another and he does get a bike eventually, plus a young zeronos is there as a rider in the end. but we're missing the belt henshin, "henshin" itself. the henshin device is a tuning fork or a whistle or a brace with strings. but it's in decade so it's technicly kamen rider. but i really do think disney is trying to intentionally kill PR. why else would the mess up so bad with everything this year and still think it'll sell. plus, red ranger using a baby carriage as a weapon, WITH THE BABY STILL INSIDE. what the hell were they thinking, and ziggy, tossing the mom around at the grunts too. they really shoudl just to an exact translation of sentai, that's my oppinion.

Todoroki was the sole Hibiki Rider with any form of "Rider Kick".

Aright, then, if RPM isn't power rangers independantly from Go-Onger then... what is Power Rangers?

What makes something "Power Rangers" apart from just the name, in your eyes?

Go on, define it.

being that the show had no trademark kamen rider elements

You're saying RPM has no trademark Power Ranger elements?

Use of the word zord which

a) Isn't a term in Super Sentai
b) Is a word that is taken from the original mentor, Zordon.

and it was not well received by fans.

So by this comparison, you're saying RPM isn't well recieved by fans?

Very incorrect.

It's actually adored.

i look at the new star trek the same way. it looks like a good movie, but it's not star trek.

You cannot judge Power Rangers based off the schema of a toku that is in no way related.

i think rpm is a good show, but it's not power rangers.

I'd like to know what RPM is then.

And if it's not Power Rangers, I'd like to know what Power Rangers is too.


plus the thought of all past rangers dead pisses me off.

Hasn't actually been stated that. It's not a fact.

So I think that's more to do with your imagination than it is criticisms of the show.

and what about spd, this basicly undoes it due to most of the human species being dead.

Wait, what?

There is ONE human species.

Human.

That is the species.

You get colonies in space, but they're still... human, they are still the same species.

But even if those species mix with others and a new breed is created in space, you're being concerned with just Earth, and there is only and has only ever been one species of human on Earth, human.

but does anyone else agree that is power rangers in name only.

So how does that stop Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers In Space, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Power Rangers Timeforce, Power Rangers Wildforce, Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Power Rangers SPD, Power Rangers Mystic Force, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, and Power Rangers Jungle Fury from being... just Power Rangers by name, exactly?

What makes RPM so special compared to the above?

they really shoudl just to an exact translation of sentai, that's my oppinion.

Or, you could just watch Go-Onger.

No one is forcing you to watch RPM.

there are other lead riders without a kick, den-o doesn't use one in his primary, sword form, i say that because that's the form used most in puplicity, although he does use a kick in rod form. but every rider but hibiki uses, a belt to transform, a kick, A BIKE, and NO SINGING. besides, i don't hate hibiki, i was using it for an example for something thats part of something but different from the whole. and as for the above post, i won't even read it, i think you missed the point of this topic. rpm is power rangers yes but it's in some sort of alternate timeline where a virus did kill most humans and the survivors take shelter in a terra nova like place. but even lost galaxy still featured the space rangers and was in lightspeed, how can the do that with this is EVERYONE ELSE IS DEAD. and as for what is human, look at the news lately and ask yourself that.

I like how you're trying to dodge my questions, or at least trying to answer them as vaguely and as less as possible.

Also did you actually make this thread because you're trying to deny RPM of it's Power Rangers status independantly of it's name JUST because something happened in Kamen Rider?

Kamen Rider and Power Rangers are two totally different shows.

And AGAIN, I repeat, It's not stated past rangers are dead.

By the way, you didn't answer these.

Aright, then, if RPM isn't power rangers independantly from Go-Onger then... what is Power Rangers?

Don't avoid them.

Nothing has been stated that everyone is dead. Although it could be implied. But we just won't know until the timeline is officially revealed.

TokuFan

Yeah,I do see RPM as Power Rangers Hibiki. Not because of the things you stated but because they're both weird shows. Admittedly RPM's less weird.

You Compare KR series specifically by the individual Rider the series is named after before anything else.

Every titular Rider wields a sword in some way and does a Rider Kick at some point (besides Hibiki).
Hibiki was also unique in that a large portion of the monsters were made with CGI instead of being men in suits. The only other series with that many CGI beasts was Ryuki, and most of those were either exclusive to the specials or contracted and therefore not counted as enemy monsters. Yes, Den-O's Gigandeths and Kiva's Sagarcs and Sabbats were CGI beasts, but they were simply one of a set shape and were not actually fought by a Rider (Gigandeaths battled the time trains and Sabbats battled Castle Doran and the Powered Ixer). Also, in Hibiki, every monster had unique grunts (giant Makamou had parents and Summer Makamou could replicate). Only two Blade monsters (Wolf and Zebra Undead) and one each in Den-O (Mole Imajin) and Kiva (Rat Fangire) even had grunts. The Faiz Riotroopers only numbered six over the entire series (more in the movie) and Kabuto Zect Troopers were good/neutral characters. But the most important difference is the faces. No Hibiki Rider has the classic KR "Bugeye" mask. Only Ryuki does this as well, and even then a third of those riders still maintain it (Ryuki, Ryuga, Verde, Femme and the Alternatives) In Den-O, only two of his forms (Axe and Gun) and Gaoh do not have it. Finally, not to sound sexist, but Hibiki is the only KR series with a female Rider IN THE SERIES (Not the movie like Ryuki's Femme and Blade's L'Arc) who didn't share her costume (Yuri and Megumi as Ixa)

I'm genuinly looking for your view on what you think "Power Rangers" is, for discussion purposes, but you're clearly avoiding it, which leads me to doubt the validity of your original point.

not that i can't, i won't. and i didn't say i hate power rangers or rpm. infact i have a little crush on dr. k, so please, let me say this again and for the last time. this thread is not an anti-rpm thread. it to show how different it is from past seasons, like spd, but even that had dino thunder in it. it's just like hibiki being different from other kr shows. that why i used hibiki as an example.

by the way, i'm leaving for an appointment soon so i won't be able to reply til i get back tonight. i'm not trying to piss people off, or start some sort of war, i hope you arn't.

Lol, very convenient.

I didn't say it is an anti-RPM thread, but if you're not answering my simple questions that debate the validity of you assuming RPM is only PR by it's name, I'm going to presume you can't.

Prove me wrong.

Obviously if it was possible to answer them, you'd be fully able to.

What makes Power Rangers RPM only Power Rangers by it's title, but yet doesn't apply to every other Power Ranger season?

Why isn't every other Power Ranger season only Power Rangers by name, but only RPM is specificially?

And stop using Kamen Rider, that and Power Rangers are different shows. Compare RPM to other Power Ranger seasons, what exactly is it you're getting at that's specific to RPM that other seasons either have or haven't got?

Seriously, if you're not going to answer, it doesn't actually put validity in your favour, otherwise it just looks like you can't answer it.

Which, as far as I assume at the moment, you can't, otherwise you would.

I'm not trying to start a war, but you're clearly dodging my questions on purpose, and it's intruiguing as to why.

RPM is Power Rangers. It contains a fair amount of Power Ranger elements that other toku lack, thus clearly specifying it as a Power Ranger season rather than a Kamen Rider (or V.R Troopers for an example) season, and it's within the franchise of Power Rangers.

Even if RPM was named "Nameless Toku" and was independant of the Power Rangers airing patterns, it's pretty obvious it's Power Rangers, not just by name.

I'm sure you've got a good point somewhere, but it's inaccurate due to the comparison or assumptions you're making.

o.k., i'm done with you.

The thing is Jiemusu has a valid point which you refuse to answer.So your just proving that you point has no validity.

Furthermore your use of KR Hibiki is highly flawed.How so you ask?The reason its only a KR series in name is because it was never intended to be a KR series.It was going to be a non-KR in the first place.Executive meddeling forced it into being a KR series,and thus it was missing KR staples. i.e.-henshin belts.

While Go-Onger and RPM continue on in the same way the shows before it did keeping staples from the series.

Whats even more ridiculous his how you think you know every thing about the show eight episodes in.
With no current know timeline how are you sure all the other rangers aren't dead of old age?With all its tech Corinth never seems to try to recieve any incoming messages,only boradcast where they are to possible survivors.We still don't know where Gem & Gemma come from,so its mildly possible they come from another domed city (crosses fingers for japan) thats been sheilded/stealthed from detection.
Just wait till later to see how it all works out.

last one for tonight, first i know that hibiki was not originally a kamen rider show and second what he said i already knew and i really don't like to be told things i alread know, and i used hibiki as an example for shows that are under the brand name but really are quite different from the rest, now, i'm done explaining, i'm done arguing, i'm just plain done with all this, so lets have an honest discussion about the topic and not about my supposed flawed analogy. Please.

Seriously? RPM is laced with Power Rangers trademarks. From both Saban and Disney eras. They're not that hard to miss.

Question
05-02-2009, 01:55 PM
RPM is Power Rangers in the same way that (first season) Enterprise is Star Trek.

Yes, it technically falls under the franchise's umbrella, but it's so different and... bad compared to anything that came before. The elements are there, sure, but they're so different from the elements I once fell in love with that it might as well be something else entirely.

i've said this before. i read his questions and thought he had missed the point of the question. he thought i was saying that rpm was not power rangers. it is. he was asking me to define what power rangers was. i would think that with over a thousand posts he would know. look, i won't get into this again. i don't know if he's the type that just exists the cause problems for other but i've encountered that type before and they's bugged me so much that i've left more that a few forums because of it. rpm had zord, morphers, suits, everything power rangers had. IT IS POWER RANGERS, it's just different from all the rest, like spd, i've been saying that all this time.

It's settled then, now let's stop bickering. Now, to contribute something to this thread:

Reading your 2 earliest posts, I can only think you were expecting something different after watching Go-Onger and was disappointed that we didn't get the 'excessive kiddy humour' in RPM, because you haven't really validated your point. You only said you didn't like the plot (majority of humans dead) and complained about Scott & Ziggy fighting while putting a baby and its mother in danger.

About your point of this season not being canon because it nullifies SPD, we still don't know most of the story. Corinth could be one of many human bases in the world. for all we know, maybe only a small percentage of humans died.

05-05-2009, 10:09 PM

I'm pretty sure that by the time the series started (1 year after the raising of the shields), the vast majority of the earth's population was dead or imprisoned by Venjix. If there is another dome city, it has to be hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles away from Corinth.

This why im hoping Gem & Gemma are from a sheilded/stealthed japanese city.And the reason it takes a while to get to corinth is because they have to cross american from callifonia on land,avoiding toxic areas and dodgeing Venjix patrols.

Venjix struck 3 years prior to the series.The episodes we are watching now are in the 4th year.So the 4th year after the attack hasn't finished yet.

@ jackalranger-Watch RPM like Go-Onger,just treat it like the Gaiark had already dirtied earth and their fighting back.

No aliens in Corinth.

Not to mention they haven't stated if peaceful aliens had been to earth or not.

If it is before SPD the aliens are still hiding, remember Piggy is Mystic Force, aliens are hiding out. Also they probably can survive radiation filled planet anyways.

If it is after SPD all Aliens fled the planet and it is just humans.

These are just theorys though.

Look, we can spar on this matter for years and nothing would still be resolved, because all of our ammo would be assumptions. I'm taking the logical route here of saying that because so far there has been no mention/sight of any aliens, then this series is not post-SPD.

Don't agree with me? You can post your theories and assumptions, but that's all they'll ever be: theories and assumptions. The producers of the show decide what is canon in the series, and if they don't give an outright announcement about it being post-SPD, I'll be sticking to my assumption that RPM does not take place post-SPD, because it seems to be the most logical at this point.

Comprende?

We've also never seen childbirth in the PRU. Maybe there, humans come from eggs!

Just because we haven't seen any aliens doesn't mean they aren't there. Maybe they all mass evacuated when Venjix started massacring everyone.

Really?

The world being decimated and there only being one city left that we know of jives with SPD and its multiple, high tech cites located around the globe?

Do you really think the world can be completely rebuilt inside of fifteen years? I'm assuming you think that RPM takes place present day, which is also silly, because Venjix attacked three years pre-RPM and no other series made anything close to a mention of it.

So, best case scenario, you think the world went from apocalyptic wasteland to SPD high-tech paradise in maybe a decade. This, to you, is more plausible than just saying most of the aliens left Earth so they wouldn't die, and the few that remained died in the attack.

Sure. That's your prerogative. But you have to understand why I think it's silly.

Comprende?

No. I didn't.

Which is why I asked a question.

Maybe so, but I'm sure if they were asked to explain that, they would. However, the focus is on this season's rangers and he found a way to do that. There's nothing to say the former Power Rangers aren't here as well. They could be living lives as normal as possible under the circumstances, or whatever. It didn't say they're dead and for all we know, considering they're rangers, there might be some technology outside the dome shielding them from Venjix.

In any case, I really couldn't care less about continuity. We're getting a great show, it's broken away from the monotony the show had fallen into lately and that's all great. I don't care if the other rangers don't get focus or something. For all we know, fans will start complaining about how General Crunch is not getting any development (which even I've noticed lol.. the villains are getting less focus). But that's affecting the show positively.

As for it not being Power Rangers, aside from the obvious, it's a show on it's own but at the same time, it's everything Power Rangers needs to be. The other series look tame compared to this and they didn't go over the top. People talk about continuity; what about the countless other PR glitches that have been explained?

First off, it's already mentioned that it's in the near future. 20 years or so isn't exactly near future.

As for present day, forgive me but it only said "1 year ago" or "1 year later". If there's any mention of the year being 2009, I give up...

And come on... seriously... ALL aliens fleed and stuff? This is Power Rangers... you don't think at least one of them would be heroic enough to stick around and help out? I dunno, far as the technology goes, we have the time force technology, the existing Corinth technology which is more than enough. I believe giant fighting machines aren't actually real so yeah, neither is a virus which creates armies of robotic soldiers. If you can have those, a decade should be long enough for the world to recuperate.

The only time I ever heard a date mentioned was on that leaked workprint, and that was 21-something. When did anyone say 'near future'? Maybe they meant the 'near future' after Venjix's first attack, not necessarily the near future of 2009.

Anyway, I'd definitely call twenty years the near future. That's barely even a generation.

And come on... seriously... ALL aliens fleed and stuff? This is Power Rangers... you don't think at least one of them would be heroic enough to stick around and help out?

Who said all?

I said most.

Most aliens fled, some stayed and fought but died, and maybe some are in the city but we haven't seen them yet. This is a workable theory, to me.

And I still doubt the ability of anything I've seen in PR since before Zordon died to rebuild the world in less than a century. I mean, if they could do it in less than a decade, why is Millennium City from TF still in an apocalyptic wasteland?

They do come from eggs. Didn't you know?


Just because we haven't seen any aliens doesn't mean they aren't there. Maybe they all mass evacuated when Venjix started massacring everyone.

Like I said, we are all making assumptions here. I can also say the same thing, where unicorns once lived side by side with humans, but Venjix massacred them all, and the reason nobody ever mentions them is because they are still in denial of the whole matter.


Okay.

All I did was ask for the reason for your theory/assumption, and you're flying off the handle.



Okay, I apologise for that. Maybe the 'comprende' part at the end was unnecessary. But take the 'comprende' part out, and it doesn't sound like I'm angry anymore, right? And I wasn't. So once again, I apologise.



Do you really think the world can be completely rebuilt inside of fifteen years?

But seriously, it's a kids TV show.

I'm assuming you think that RPM takes place present day, which is also silly, because Venjix attacked three years pre-RPM and no other series made anything close to a mention of it.

I'm just treating RPM as a separate fictional universe. Not too preoccupied with things such as continuity and trying to fit in the pieces to the other series', because I feel that it takes away my enjoyment of the show. Besides, it doesn't matter to me whether or not all the series occurs in one continuity.


So, best case scenario, you think the world went from apocalyptic wasteland to SPD high-tech paradise in maybe a decade. This, to you, is more plausible than just saying most of the aliens left Earth so they wouldn't die, and the few that remained died in the attack.

Sure. That's your prerogative. But you have to understand why I think it's silly.



When you put it that way, of course it sound ridiculous. But hey, giant transforming robots, making monsters out of clay, bringing monsters back to life after it's been destroyed by making it grow giant, among other things all sound pretty ridiculous to me.

Once again, maybe you took offense from my post. That's my fault, I'll admit that, and I'll have to be more careful about how I post.

All in all, it's a kids TV show, and I don't take it too seriously. Maybe it does occur post-SPD, maybe not. Either way, I don't care and I'm still watching. It's just that IMO the series doesn't occur post-SPD.

Nah, I didn't take offense from your post. I just like to argue, which a lot of people seem to mistake for me hating on them, so it's probably my own fault. *shrug*

That's fine then.

Arguing makes a message board more fun, if namecalling & insults are put aside. Otherwise, every topic would just be "Here's my idea. What's yours?" and everybody would post their opinions which nobody really cares about and no discussion would actually be going on (which I've seen multiple times on many forums, including this one).

@Titanium Ranger: Dammit. I posted my previous response before reading yours and found that most of our opinions are the same. Do you have a long lost Asian twin brother?
