But they could have been better on that part.

Or just stick to Red being a race car driver, Blue being a bus driver, Yellow being a refreshment server at a stadium, Green being a part-time worker with a motorcycle, and Black being a former cop.

I'd rather PR make new characters that'll still fit with the source footage: PR's best seasons have rarely been direct Sentai translations.

What do you mean???

I mean that the Rangers should be different from their Sentai counterparts.

In personality primarily.

And occupation, preferably. Let's see some clever use of source footage.

I like bobby's idea,

^So you don't like originality Eddie?

I can't imagine why some people like direct Sentai translations, since most of the most celebrated seasons have had little adherence to Sentai plot.

^Unless you've seen some or all of a Sentai series, technically you don't have much say (not targeted towards you you Gerbil).

However you are right Harlan. I heard Time Force was direct translation of Timeranger.

Guest

It pretty much was, yeah.

I'm not in the mood to read anything involving that Benedict Arnold friend of mine. So tell me what the gist of it is please.

Number of posts : 1050 Age : 31 Registration date : 2008-03-08

Basicly he's saying KRDK will not air at all and RPM isn't the final title. Also he said the toyline will be crappy like before.

Guest

I find that to be a lot of bull crap.

Number of posts : 1050 Age : 31 Registration date : 2008-03-08

Well i don't believe it 100% but it seems real for now. And he said the storyline sucks so yeah because of Cars which deals with talking cars they want to protect that so that means ditching Go-Onger's motif.

This is Poweranimals we're talking about. The same dude who verbally treated me like crap and said things to & about me as though they were funny when they were flat out cruel, heartless & insensitive.

Number of posts : 1050 Age : 31 Registration date : 2008-03-08

It's not PowerAnimals it's his source saying this.

Guest

Why do I get the feeling this IM convo is...not...right?

Number of posts : 1050 Age : 31 Registration date : 2008-03-08

I agree.

I agree also.

Plus, why would PA post that R.P.M. was the final title of PR 2009. He did say that this, "N/A" guy has been a reliable source in the past.

I'm not believing this 100%... at all.
