Really? I consider sticking close to Sentai bad since PR was at its best when it was original.

Number word episode titles.

Those don't affect the plot at all. I consider them a nonissue, and a superficial complaint.

Quote :

His overdose of Kailsh Explosions and Wire Fu.

Fair complaint.

Quote :

Crappy character development.

But with good plots...?

1. I do as well but if the shoe fits wear it.

2. My point exactly.

3. But in the end the character seems off even if he trys to cover it up with good plots.

But you said it was good that he stuck to Sentai plots, which seemed to imply you prefer Sentai adaptation over PR originality.

2. My point exactly.

...about...what? The Wire Fu or the episode titles?

3. But in the end the character seems off even if he trys to cover it up with good plots.

Which characters specifically? Because I don't think all of them seem off, honestly. If you were a bit more specific I could probably understand you better.

That is extremely annoying.

Sometimes i prefer Sentai plots over PR plots. Since i loved Geki i am happy that every episode is based of it but i still want originality which has been lost and that's why santai is there only hope.


2....about...what? The Wire Fu or the episode titles?

About the episode titles

Like say Madison.

I'm so confused by this. You liked the extra Rangers, right? Those are a far cry from the Geki plots...although, deep down, I'm wondering why you'd wanna see the same show twice, especially the second time being from a show known to deviate from its source material and do its own thing.

Your second sentence is even more confusing in its second chunk. Originality has been lost, so Sentai is its only hope? ...I really don't understand what this means. The originality is gone because they're focusing on Sentai plots. Kalish's team has deviated and formed their own unique arcs before. Overdrive, for example, had the storyline with iMack, which was a fair deviation from the Sentai.

So, they're capable of originality. But it's so much easier to adapt from the Sentai, and with a showrunner who's inexperienced with the show's mythos, it's bound to happen. At the same time, he's shown examples of being able to be original and make it a large chunk of the arc, as displayed by Overdrive and some parts of Jungle Fury (Spirit Rangers). So he's not incapable. It's not the lack of originality that's the problem, the fact that the Sentai is "the only hope" makes originality LESS likely.

But, then again, here's the confusing part of your post. You're glad Kalish is gone, and yet you like the majority of his work. You like the fact he sticks close to Sentai because you feel, without originality, Sentai is the only hope. But it was original before Kalish. This would imply that you think he's not original, which would be a fair assumption if you did not also admit that he can craft enjoyable plots...implying you think he IS original.

...Huh?

Episode titles

So you're agreeing with me that it's a superficial complaint and has no bearing towards anything and that complaining about them is pointless?

Like say Madison.

How was she bad? Again, could you be specific so I can understand?

Madison wasn't bad but her character stayed the same the whole season no development at all.

Of everything I typed, you're only going to reply to that part?

My bad i was lazy about that part.

I'mma just leave the thread now.

Why?

Yeah. Only like TWO episodes about her the entire season. And they were both also about Nick!!!

hey guys, who know how everybody all cheering about Bruce leaving the show? Well, I had a thought, wouldn't it be funny (not 'Haha' funny but 'ironic' funny) if the new executive produder is actually does worse than Bruce and everybody goes all, "I want Bruce back!!" "I wish Kalish was back!!"?

That would be quite amusing. After all the grumbling and complaining.

There was no logo at the Licensing Show.

Oh well.

I guess this is the art Ray of RB was referring too:

Pretty much samething we got last year.

I'm glad Bruce is gone after Jungle Fury. Power Rangers isn't his kind of show. Bruce is not the kind of writer that would slave himself to long term stories. Hopefully Jackie becomes the new exec-producer for next season and future seasons.

I agree. However, PA also mentioned that Jackie might be leaving...which I'm hopping isn't true. Jackie has been with the Power Rangers since the MMPR era, and she's more familiar with the way it's done than any other.

I also hope that Jackie doesn't leave. with Bruce gone whoever the new exec-producer is will need someone who's been with the show the amount of time that Jackie has been to guide he or she how to do write Power Rangers the right way. I'd also want Greg Aranowitz back.

Plus, with Bruce gone, and rumors of production moving to Canada, there's a lot of benefits that will arise from such events. The increase in episodes possibly, diversity in Power Rangers, again, etc.

I think moving to Canada would be a good idea. If I go to Vancouver for vacation next year. I might be able to see R.P.M. being filmed or see the cast or Koichi.

Oh that would be great! You could share photos and everything. Of course, this is still a rumor.

Bring back Tony Oliver!!

Bringing back Tony would be great.
