The Power Is Back!

I remember when Jason wanted that PG13 Green Ranger movie.

I'd love for them to market this as a legitimate superhero movie.

Can't wait for the Avengers pose in the first trailer.
 
When I read this post, I was thinking, "Wow wouldn't that be cool if this was about the original Power Rangers?" To my amazement it was. What a great day. First new Pokemon now this!!
 
So wait what's up with Austin St John being a dick??

I remember him in the Forever Red episode
 
From what I heard he wasn't even contacted for it since everyone else was already in New Zealand.

JDF's told a few different versions of that story. The long and short of it was that he was never going to fly out. Unlike the rest of the cast of the Disney years, he's a member of SAG. His story at the time was that he was offered a voice only role but turned it down.

Basically, he wanted more money than Disney were willing to pay.
 
Oh so that's why he wasn't there. When I was much younger I thought he was just some evil clone version and I kept waiting for him to turn on them and was very confused when he didn't and never powered down.
 
What Power?

The power of merchandising! Power Rangers action figures! Power Rangers breakfast cereal! Power Rangers video games!




Power Rangers the FLAME THROWER!!!

I'm not surprised. He may have his issues, but Disney and Saban still lowball everyone spectacularly. Especially with the recent 20th anniversary special.

Oh, absolutely. The reason they moved production to NZ was because they could hire non union workers and pay them less. But, it's a poor reflection on the guy for not being willing to do so much as voice work, considering he'd done the exact same thing in Dino Thunder. The 20th anniversary invites were pretty much a joke. However, JDF has the reputation in the fandom off a reason.

He's basically Adam West, without any of West's positive traits and more of a wanker. Also: Power Rangers movie? Totally his idea. Never mind Saban wanting to do it before selling to Disney, JDF himself suggested it.
 
Saban and Lionsgate had this idea so they can do away with the TV shows and make expensive movies once every couple of years, Avengers style. There's some talk being thrown around that you might see a PG-13 thing out of it.

Why? Because movie studios are ass-devastatingly ******ed.

And greedy. Don't forget greedy. Nostalgia sells.
