Okay, so, what if on the 20th aniversary, they took Sentai outfits they didn't use and made them rangers from other countries.

Like, if the main team is ambiguously in Australia/America, then the Changemen could be from England and appear in an episode, the Fivemen from Canada, the Maskmen from Vietnam(making the Yellow Ranger the leader to remember Thuy), the Livemen from South Africa(being the first all-black team), and so on. They'd appear in one episode, but IT WOULD BE EPIC.

AND LET ME JUST SAY ONE THING. IT HAS BEEN KNOWN THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY TOEI TO US E FOOTAGE FROM SENTAI TO USE IT IN POWER RANGERS. HOWEVER, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO USE IT FOR JUST THE COSTUMES. MASTER ORG'S COSTUME WAS FROM DAIRANGER, BUT DO YOU SEE ANYTHING ABOUT DAIRANGER IN WILD FORCE'S CREDITS?

List so far:

Tommy Oliver, the Red Eternal Ranger- The next stage of his outfits. Tommy Oliver is now leader of all of the Power Rangers.

I actually came up with that for my own set. Maskman-China, Liveman-Africa, Turboranger-Australia (trained by Kat, Pink is her cousin), Fiveman-Brazil, Jetman-Japan (kept same names). Go tohttp://rangertalk.com/showthread.php?t=2924

It would be a nice thing for all of us who are accustomed to Sentai, but would make a lot of people elsewhere confused.

Besides, that would mean Disney (or whatever company owning PR at the time) would have to buy the rights to use those older suits.

Also, isn't the show canceled for real now?

I haven't been keeping up, so I'm not sure.

I guess that would be interesting, But I would stick to suits we already have.

We're actually not sure on that. There were a ton of statements from producers and such saying that the show was cancelled, but then Bandai released a statement saying that Disney is making an 18th season and that they are making the toys for it. So at this point we have to wait and see.

As for this idea, it really is a cool idea but it would be hard to pull off. For one thing the main audience of the show (kids) probably woulnt appreciate the meaning of the episode. The other problem is if you put ranger teams from different countries, then all the countries not chosen get pissed off and offended. Plus, seeing as Disney barley gives two s***s about Power Rangers to begin with, the chances of them going that far, even for a 20th Anniversary are slim to none.

England as Changeman?

Personally I adore the idea of the United Kingdom (not just England) being represented by JAKQ.

Red Ranger - England Ranger
Green Ranger - Nothern Ireland Ranger
Pink Ranger - Wales Ranger
Blue Ranger - Scotland Ranger

And then have the Big One suit as the U.K Ranger to represent them all through red, blue, green and pink (England, Scotland, Nothern Ireland and Wales) just like Big One represented jack, ace, king and queen combined.

Seems to make sense to me at least, since the U.K is the combination of those countries to make one, represented as one, just like JAKQ was achieveing with Big One.

I think this may confuse people who haven't seen ALL Sentai seasons. Maybe a better idea would be Forever Red Part 2, using Disney Era Red Rangers (Shane, Hunter, Connor, Jack, Nick, Mack, Casey, Scott and whoever the next 2 would be)

Or maybe have a mix of Saban and Disney Era Red Rangers. Like have 5 from each era or something like that.

Why would we celebrate 20 years of PR by throwing in stuff that was never in PR.That dosen't make any sense.
Do i need to point out what happend on the last two celebrations.If all the sudden 3-5 teams appear out of nowhere and get no explanation,people will make the complaints from FR & OAR look tame.

And no Tommy dosen't need to come back again...again...again.Plus the 30 on akareds suit would look strange in close ups since their suppose to be celebrating 20 years.

And Dai ranger suits are a no go because they..obviously..look much to much like white rangers suit yet aren't connected in PR.

Legendary.

I was under the impression that most "fans" abandoned Power Rangers when Saban did and evolved in Sentai Snobs who believe PR can never do as good as sentai...

Don't get so disheartened over something like this. It's the way of the Internet, get used to it and go with the flow. You're not the only one. ;)

Your ideas were "shot down" because we're just being realists here. From all the rumours we've heard, we're not even sure if Shinkenger will get licensed, so to think that whoever owns the franchise at the time will pay for the rights to use the old suits might be a bit outlandish.

Sure, that idea would definitely be EPIC, as you said. No denying that, but we just don't see it happening.

@DaiRed: Agree wholeheartedly (from a 19-year-old fan standpoint).

I could be wrong, but I think most fans abandoned the show when they grew out of it. Also, I think that name-calling is not a substitute for discussing the merits of Power Rangers.

I think that your 20th Anniversary idea is a good one, but instead of being from other nations, the unused sentai groups could be from other planets.

I think that they should use the unused suits to make a teamup special that features all the teams.

TokuFan

05-10-2009, 10:08 PM

I think we should hurry up and use the Dairangers and the male and female Demon Hunter[DekaGold was like 2 seconds,pointless using her] before even thinking about old teams.

I remember reading some where that saban was going to in LG,but it never worked out so the scraped it.Possibly due to what i posted earlier.It would be "Why do their suits look like tommys white ranger suit yet not connected" or "If zordon and alpha made the extra suits how come we haven't seen them until now".
The biggest problem would be "If their a ranger team,where are their zords?"

I honestly think in the event of a massive team-up, Power Rangers should be looking into making original suits (or original mashups/upgrades kinda things) rather than unused Toei suits. As much as I want to see Dairanger used... you have to imagine that 16 years later, they cannot be in that great of condition.

LOL. I don't think they store the suits they bought 16 years ago in a cupboard somewhere. They can make/order new suits, just like with Adam in "Once a Ranger"

for the 20th anniversery villain it should be Lothor, I mean heck he escaped the abyiss the first time, and we never really know what happened when him and mesagog fought. Sure he was shrunken to a minature but when the lab was destroyed, he could have escaped or something.

Then Cam can put a team of rangers together from diffrent seasons. Maybe almost another Once A RAnger team up.

Why does almost everyone on here hate Tommy? That character has done so much for the series, more so than any other, he is was and always will be my favorite ranger no matter who comes along, or what color he is wearing. And to not have him in an anniversary episode would be like a Led Zeppelin reunion concert and them not play Stairway to Heaven. It'll never happen with out him, even in Once A Ranger he was mentioned. I probably am the only one on here who was happy to see Jason, Zack and Trini leave the show, and Tommy not only made the White Ranger, but also as the leader of the team, IMO, it made the show better.

*cracks knuckles*

Works both ways you know.

Just because he's been on for longer, and has done good stuff within that time, it leaves him more time to do bad stuff too. And Tommy has done alot of bad stuff, with the good stuff, it still cancels each other out, no matter how many times he's returning.

he is was and always will be my favorite ranger no matter who comes along, or what color he is wearing.

Most people judge him simply because he's been the most colours or rangers than anyone else. THEN they try to take that general overview of ALL his powers, and try to apply that to the character when he's just ONE of those powers.

It's wrong.

And to not have him in an anniversary episode would be like a Led Zeppelin reunion concert and them not play Stairway to Heaven.

Thanks for giving me an analogy!

Not everyone likes Led Zeppelin's genre or style, in fact some people may hate Led Zeppelin's music.

Your musical tastes, and ranger choices, doesn't mean others are going to share them.

It'll never happen with out him, even in Once A Ranger he was mentioned. I probably am the only one on here who was happy to see Jason, Zack and Trini leave the show, and Tommy not only made the White Ranger, but also as the leader of the team, IMO, it made the show better.

He was only mentioned in once a ranger as a means to connect Adam and Kira. Adam a former team mate and Kira the student, it would be weird if it wasn't losely touched upon.

Whether him as the White Ranger made MMPR better or not is personal opinion that will differ and isn't set in stone, I for one thought the change of cast and everything was needed at some point since the old style couldn't last forever. Perhaps they could have handled it differently sure, but something needed to be done, and if the way they did it pleased a large number of fans (which it did) then it was successful.

People's tiff with the White Ranger, if any, was the way it was handled, Tommys instant personality change (could have been improved on gradually), Tommy's spotlight hogging (could have easily been dealt with but wasn't) and the way it would have undermimed Jason without due cause and given Jason's potentially closure an unjustified end (disregarding Zeo).

Plus Tommy made a terrible leader in MMPR and failed the rangers at the end of both years even with his experience because he treated the whole thing as an ego boost without boosting or passing responsibility or spotlight onto others, terrible attitude for a leader, it took 2 years of that to level out as average as red. Even as the Red Ranger, he didn't wow.

Other Red Rangers and leaders have, and have been successful, and that's why Tommy shouldn't be overhyped.

Most fans would appreciate Tommy better if he wasn't overhyped.

the Led Zeppelin thing was just an example, place any band or artist in that line and think if they retired and then years later decide to do a reunion concert and NOT play a key song they were best known for, thats all I was saying. IMO thats the comparison to an anniversary episode of Power Rangers without Tommy it'd be wrong not to have him on it, in just the same way it would be if Jason weren't in it, I may not like him, but he should still be in it.

Well no, Led Zeppelin as an example is relevant in more ways than one. You mentioned Led Zeppelin specifically and I'm saying not everyone is a fan of their music.

You compared Led Zeppelin to Tommy right? And then were wondering why people don't all like Tommy? Well, there's your answer.

Just like Led Zeppelin isn't everyone's taste, Tommy isn't too everyone's tastes either.

Individual differences.

And you did use Tommy specifically as a comparison, not "in general". just like you used Led Zeppelin as a specific example, rather than "in general".

IMO thats the comparison to an anniversary episode of Power Rangers without Tommy it'd be wrong not to have him on it, in just the same way it would be if Jason weren't in it, I may not like him, but he should still be in it.

It's not wrong to include it simply because it's abnormal not to mention Tommy at all in a team up, it's not that at all.

It's strange to not include Tommy's name in OAR simply because with both Kira and Adam there, it was inevitable. Simply, it's only because Adam and Kira were in OAR that he was mentioned. If not, there wouldn't be that connection, Tommy wouldn't have been mentioned or featured anywhere, and it would still be normal.

I had a thought about just using the Diaranger(spelling?) suits, reusing or remaking. And have it be in a very secret place of the old Command Center and have some teens stumble upon the said place and have a recorded message tell them that it wasn't an acident they found the place and the become those rangers, it being sort of paying homage to Zordon. Plus he created the white ranger suit why couldn't he have made others.?

Like Infamous or Prototype... only Power Rangers! I can see it now...

Probably won't happen :/

Tommy shouldn't be in an anniversary teamup if it stops Jason,Zack,Rocky or Aisha's actors from reprising their roles,who really want to come back. You've got to read between the characters here.

This is why it annoys me that we're not getting a multi-doctor teamup in Doctor Who. What about the actors? They're all dying in chronological order.

I don't want the UK team to be Jakq or changemen, both look a bit naff I think, I'd rather be represented by the Maskmen.

Would love to play the sandbox ranger game, especially if it had a make your own ranger feature.

I'll be happy to celebrate the 18th aniversary with a new series after that who knowes.
