Poor Power Rangers. First Disney and then Hasbro, just always getting handed around to people who don’t actually want them because they’re bundled in with the things they do
PR was in better hands with Saban from the start
@@manuelorozco7760even then, Saban wasn’t even fair to the actors back then, and certainly not during the Neo Saban era.
@@luisquintero7359 Point taken. Or maybe better hands with Disney
I’m probably biased but Saban never should have sold it back in the early 2000’s. Disney was cool but they never gave a damn about it anyway since their original plan was to just air re-runs.
@@Realest1ne I actually agree with Dosm in that I think the Disney seasons are better than people sometimes give them credit for (though I’m biased cuz they’re the ones *I* grew up with) but Disney definitely had no idea what to do with the IP.
Anybody with a functioning brain knew Hasbro didn't give a squat about Power Rangers. This franchise had 3 decades of different ownership. Fans could spot trouble by now. Hasbro by far was the worst. The toys were overpriced and atrocious. Hasbro were ripping people off. The show itself had poor writing and no effort. The apologists and pro-Hasbro crowd are slient now. Again very predictable behavior.
I can understand the toys having poor quality and overpriced, but what was even wrong with the show like Beast Morphers, Dino Fury and Cosmic Fury. Grant it they weren’t perfect but you can’t deny it’s definitely a lot better compared to the garbage Neo Saban seasons (bar Dino Charge).
@luisquintero7359 the shows well better than the Nick Era had the problem of feeling like place placeholder every year. Like this season very well could be the last people just didn't trust the company and it showed
What? There were obviously some exceptions, but I would take Hasbro's figures, either Basic or Lightning Collection, over any of Bandai's figures even into Ninja Steel.
I agree with you on the toys but on the show? They actually made decent seasons, Beast Morphers through Cosmic Fury were by far better than everything Neo Saban did (with the exception of Dino Charge S1).
I think the toys were pretty solid but there were definitely quality control issues that brought them down. Whether it was paint application or parts breaking. But I think the majority of the toys didn't quite have that many problems really. (Pricing was certainly bad on lots of things though, I agree. I think people would be more lenient and give a pass to some of the toys if the price was lower.)
Is anyone really surprised?
Turns out the crazies were right, Hasbro truly did not give one shit
BRUH were the sane ones the people who cheered hasbro on were the crazies and the same people saying were getting a ''PR FULL ON REBOOT'' like think logically why would hasbro invest THAT much money in a dying brand and potentially make it more woke then it already Is it won't work who ever says there is gonna be a reboot UNIVERSE is full OF IT never gonna happen because the PR tv universe is already A good universe to work with just need some money invest here and there and good story and there you go personally im glad pr ended in cosmic furry cause it did wrapped up some loose ends and Not only that we tried The reboot universe once with 2017 it failed why try again im not against a reboot story but they should continue THE TV verse and bring back the old style disney era had prior to ninjastorm-JUNGLE fury if that style came back i think i pr would be doing a lot better and bring back some old writers and mix in some new ones.
Anybody with a functioning brain saw this from Hasbro. The toys were atrocious and overpriced. The show's writing were poor and effortless. People aren't "crazies" for calling Hasbro out like that. Take the rose tinted glasses off.
@@Enterthedarkness23 LMAO the TOYS WOULD have been safe if they treated it like THE ML line better paint quality control even though ML had poor quality here there prlc should have never been that bad in the first place but that's what they get for cutting corners and going card board box really SHOT them in the foot NEVER SHOULD they have done that that was THE DOWNFALL PERIOD.
You own them an apology
@@jericbinuya327 hasbro owes the whole fan base An apology for fumbling SO BAD with the LINE we OWE NOTHING.
I said this for a while and no one listened. They were so adamant a reboot was coming because Hasbro said so but ignored the fact there was no real movement.
The Hasbro Era can be summed up in two words: wasted potential. Not just with the toys, but shifting away from Sentai and making multiple seasons with entirely original designs and stories, kinda like Hyperforce.
Yup. And I remember how everyone was excited when Hasbro bought Bandai and Saban rights for the franchise
multiple seasons??? we only had cosmic fury.
@@_chirs_7219 Beast Morphers, Dino Fury
@@Champion_Darkrai i meant the whole, “original designs” part. only cosmic fury did that.
@@Champion_DarkraiWasn't Beast Morphers and Dino Fury more of a Nickelodeon mandate rather than a Hasbro mandate? It was getting that problem since Samurai. Samurai (and by extension up to Ninja Steel) and their solution was just "super season" 😅
Sadly this looks to be the end of the brand. BUT the fanbase will NEVER give up! We will do what they won't! We will create our own universes and teams!
It’s amazing how companies keep ending up with PR but not actually wanting it, when it’s been going for 30 YEARS. It’s not in the best shape but you can’t deny it’s a franchise with huge potential.
It really seems like whenever the company behind PR hates the brand (Hasbro/Disney) we get some of the best Ranger content, but when Saban owns the brand and REEEAAALLLLY wants it to succeed, we get flops. Funny innit?
The writing of the Disney era shows were really well done
It was hard to see it get Hated by the parent company
Knowing what we know about the Neo Saban era, Dino Charge is even more amazing. To get that show sandwiched between probably the 2 worst entries in the show's history is mind blowing.
@@HeckinLeBork I completely agree. It's funny how RPM is what "killed" the brand when it was one of the best Ranger stories to ever exist. Disney saw good ratings and so decided to change its time slot to justify cancelling the show. Who does that?
@@MuchWhittering Exactly, all of the crazy mandates Saban/Nickelodeon had on PR during that era was CRAAAAZY. To think we got an even halfway decent show with Dino Charge is a miracle. I personally never hated Ninja Steel, I think its just the most similar to OG MMPR, its silly and dumb with characters that don't have development but at least in my opinion I think the point was always to have a kinda lighthearted and fun season. Megaforce is just a disgrace though and Samurai is just forgettable which is the worst thing a piece of media can do.
Hasbro is a burning dumpster fire.
I'd go further and liken them to a septic tank fire.
I strongly agree that the fandom outrage is unnecessary. Weather they are right or wrong, their behavior & lack of evidence is not on. Also some truths can be twisted with lies, which can lead to misinformation & chaos & that's something we don't we don't in a fandom. Hopefully this very unfortunate situation with the franchise gets sorted out soon.
God I hope this fandom doesn’t become the next Star Wars fandom Menace
Never knew I would get a shoutout by Dosm. But I heard that info around the same time Josh broke the news in July. Josh and I found out at the exact same time
VON!!!
@@donjohnson2758 yessir!
Josh chiming in on Power Rangers Lightning Collection group on Facebook made me quit Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter. I was a mod on PRLC and PRM on Facebook and I can't deal with it anymore.
I've been hearing that Josh has been doing a lot of uncharacteristic things and going after fans for various reasons, but in regards the PRLC, is he wrong? Hasbro hasn't given any updates, and the line is dead.
@@knightchawk9653 Oh nothing against what Josh said. He wasn't out of line in the group at all. I mean that it was so clearly the end in my mind now.
@@threefeetoffun Okay, I've just been hearing about different things he's done.
THEY SHOULD MAKE AN ANIMATED POWER RANGERS SERIES INSTEAD!
The optimism we had around the announcement of Beast Morphers was a different time
I understand where the fan base is coming from. When the BBC and an owner of Paramount Studios hated Doctor Who and Sci-Fi respectfully. Both Doctor Who in(1988) and Star Trek(2001 with Enterprise) both franchises took a massive hit of either a hiatus and practically cancellation. In these types of things, you need to have a CEO that is an enjoyer of pretty much everything or at the least have an understanding of what the people want instead of having a CEO that is dead set on wanting something gone, same thing with David Zaslav. Owner of Warner Bros Discovery, bro has shown his hatred towards Warner Bros in a way that has gone from wanting to save it from Debt... to making it have more DEBT and shelving projects that are completely made to never see the light of day all in the name of Tax Refund. It's that kind of cycle where I understand why people think Power Rangers is dead.
I swear hasbro is primarily focusing on mmpr heck I'm not gonna be surprised that if cosmic fury was originally meant to be a mmpr season 4.
Interesting. Hopefully a break in show is good for the brand long term.
If Disney didn't bough saban then the power rangers franchise would still be going on (I'm not sure if spd would be good or not if Disney didn't bought saban)
Of course the corporate suits don’t care about the brand but that’s exactly why they shouldn’t be involved in any creative aspect of the brand. Whenever the corporate side meddles too much in the creative side the quality goes down time and time again this is true. They should just sit back give small notes and reap the rewards of the creatives who truly care.
Have you seen the posts from Jinsakuu's recent posts? Hasbro is supposedly selling PR's show rights next year.
This reminds me of the Harlem Globetrotters; I read that there were periods when they weren’t wanted/cared for, and the Trotters as a brand suffered.
The Dosm is right; we can’t expect EVERYONE at a company to be in love with a brand. In fact, it’s good to have some cynicism to balance the optimistic enthusiasm for a brand or project. Let’s just hope PR finds its balance and goes back to what it does best: inspire and entertain.

THEY SHOULD SENT IT BACK TO SABAN!
Upon retrospect, those hasbro pulse streams had people who felt unenthusiastic about pr...least that's how it felt to me
What he said about Disney was nothing but pure facts and that's why Dosm is the realest 🔥
When first purchased the late ceo very much did. But after his passing, they seemed lack of vision more than lack of interest
Also, the thing with Disney “buying” Power Rangers is that they didn’t JUST buy Power Rangers with an ambition on its own. They bought a deal package and Power Rangers just happened to be in there, so they were kinda in a way forced into it. But, yeah I agree that Disney was the best era. I absolutely loved 90% of what they did with the franchise.
2:51 VON!!!
This truly is the biggest low blow to the PR franchise. This whole series has so much potential, yet it gets beaten to the ground by either lazy writing, or companies that don't give any shred of a shit. I hope that one day PR gets the love it deserves when it comes to the main series cuz the boom comics get so much love and appreciation. I think the main series should get that same love.
Just stick with the Sentai properties. You dont change what's already been established. Ever heard of Ghostbuster 2016? Seriouslly, it's like slapping the name Diablo in a generic chinese game and call it a day that had nothing to do with the franchise. Seriouslly, I thought the Hasbro deal will be the heaven for us PR fans but Hasbro got so much power, they created a random project and slapped the name of PR and call it a day.
They should send Power Rangers back to Saban, where they belong!
Dosm……how do you NOT know Von (MrCooper92)?
Than sell it to a company that actually wants it. Now theyll prob sit on the ip and do the bare minimum. God i can't stand Hasbro.
The biggest problem is the fact that “5-7 year olds” are the “target demographic”. Let’s face it: it’s not the 1990’s anymore: kids are way less innocent than they used to be, media as a whole is far less wholesome and/or pure, and access to media is more widespread than ever before. By this, I mean to say that if “Power Rangers” is going to survive, it needs to do what “The Boys” did for the wider superhero genre: go “Hard-R” with some seriously talented writers, actors, and showrunners - and then market and merchandise the hell out of the show! If the new owners of the franchise do that, I think the brand could be fixed.
On a related note, the reputation of “Power Rangers” needs to be repaired so that adult fans can actually be taken seriously, and let’s be honest - we need more adult female fans in the community.
if companies do not work support IP then that IP should go to who gives a dam to make someting good
The problem is why were they targetting PR to a 5-7 year old crowd? With it's action premise, you'd think cartoon violence is like a 9-12 range kind of thing. Their target age now makes it clear maybe why recent seasons dialogue had been like they're handholding you. Disney also didn't care but it felt like the writing was catered to the DCOS family somewhat. Power Rangers should never be put in the Nick Jr.'s demo unless they have a spin-off to cater to that IMO.
PR was always targeted to 5-7 year olds, except for RPM.
I was 9 when I became a Power Rangers fan. That was the perfect age for me to discover and love the show. Why the hell they're aiming at such a younger audience is beyond me.
@@FireFury190 It makes the romance plots incorporated into the show kinda weird too...like how is that relatable if that's the target audience hehe.
@@buchiklop110not really. At the very least it's like 8-10 year olds.
I am soooo tired of people underestimating this brand. Our OLD ASSES LOVE Power Rangers. 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t understand how these companies have thought that only kids watch and consume it. They have to be aware of the adult fanbase. Power Morphicon, the Legacy Collection, the Lightening Collection, the online part of the fandom which is so toxic at times but is full of adults, podcasts that are done by adults. I just don’t understand how they don’t look to make a product that is accessible to every age group.
1:27 Didn't they already learn this lesson in the 90s? The reason why super sentai/kamen rider/ultraman start fresh every year is because kids grow up so fast and change their hobbies even faster. So instead of trying to always appeal to the same kids they instead choose to attract the newer, younger ones.
Another example is Bunk'd which had a new cast around season 4 and still had good ratings...saying a rotating cast is bad when the current 2-year format arguably keeps retention enough for their demographics is weird.
It's a cultural thing I guess. Japanese shows that switch protagonists like sentai/rider/Yu-Gi-Oh do good enough because Japanese audience are open to show protagonists switching often and can embrace all versions while in the US they only seem to care and remember the first og show and main character. So I guess it's understandable why they want to stick with regular cast.
If hasbro didn't want power rangers then why did they buy them and put all the money and effort into the franchise and strike a deal with Netflix to air the power rangers projects something doesn't add up here you would think if Hasbro didn't want power rangers they would have simply passed on buying them in the first place and choosen some other brand
These guys are so afraid of just giving up on live-action and adapting the comics in a animated series, its almost kinda funny.
We all know they're gonna keep trying to reboot MightyMorphin until a miracle happens and MMPR turns into that powerhouse of the past.
If they didn’t want it then why would they acquire it in the first place
It was only one man, who wanted it. And it was Brian Goldner. But he died.
Its almost as if I've been saying this for years now, you're NOW seeing it Dosm, smh. It was never being crazy or whatever, this is my childhood man, and I know the history of Hasbro, current day Hollywood not caring about anything etc etc. What everyone said about Simon Bennet not caring, crapping on Sentai and PR, Hasbro having nothing but flops for entertainment, Hasbro cancelling lines without saying a word, dropping Sentai to go and make their own ''modern audience'' show that's not meant for anyone other than weirdos, because the modern audience doesn't exist. Its just the fans who love PR since the beginning and the new fans that they made along the way who wasn't here from the beginning. This is why Disney is failing, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Netflix shows like The Witcher, Hollywood movies in general etc etc. Obviously theirs some people in the fandoms of franchises that act , do and say weird stuff but theirs people who are passionate about said franchises and want it to continue to be a success, grow and keep on going. Current Hollywood and entertainment in general ? they're going out their way to kill franchises , to insert their own crap into our franchises and let it burn for an audience that doesn't exist. At this point, I started watching Sentai now cause we lost out on too many seasons cause LOL AMERICA , LOL AND ITS SOFT CONTROVERSIAL CRAP. Japan does everything right, Sentais my go to. Too many people work on this franchise without a brain and just let it go to rot.
After 10 years, Saban will buy it again and makes a deal with Amazon.
Prepare your body for the Neo Neo Saban era!
Hasbro has been dropping the ball on a lot of their ips
More like they've been dropping the soap.
No one wants power rangers. This isn’t news. Why are people surprised
For me the difference is Disney never bought the rangers they actually bought Fox family where the rangers happened to be airing so they wound up with the franchise cause of the acquisition of Fox family they never outright bought the franchise unlike hasbro who outright bought the rangers even then there was a pretty good presence on the shelf and even some Disney store exclusive merchandise with hasbro as time went on the rangers presence on the shelf got smaller and the show side of hasbro’s time hasn’t been that bad I just wasn’t a fan of the show getting locked behind a paywall limiting access for fans
This def lines up with the guy who wanted pr, passing away and then hasbro not caring 1 bit. It sucks man, I really love pr and want quality stuff.
think the the fans raging on twitter aren´t even real fan (sure some of them) but most of them just jumping on the "hate" train or just call it woke (just go on RUclips and ask for Star Wars and woke)
Its okay to don´t like all changes with the brand but just trashing other fans for liking it is not okay
With any luck. Some of the higher ups will listen to the fans. But as things are now, it doesn’t look good.
Power Rangers is like a poor orphan child that repeatedly gets adopted and abandoned by shitty parents
I dont know whos more imcompetent
Hasbeen execs or people putting blame off of hasbro even though there at fault
On another note disney is given too much credit and people gloss over the mmpr redux period that was terrible
And look at everything current dis now is gutter trash
See I have to disagree about Disney. Disney didn't care early on, it felt like they didn't know what to do with the series. That's why Ninja Storm's quality isn't up to par with Dino Thunder and SPD. With Dino Thunder and SPD I felt like they went all in on those seasons. It's like they finally got a director and writers that cared about the series and then that flowed into the rest of the show with the actors and filming. Then Mystic Force and OverDrive it just seems like they went back to not knowing what to do or how to promote those shows. I remember Mystic Force being promoted everywhere. I remember the mini movie/episode even was getting promo-ed in movie theaters.
The problem was Disney was going all in on the tv show and forgot about the toy sector. They wasn't promoting the toys. They wasn't recouping all the money being spent on PR. They forgot that the main sell to Power Rangers was the toys.
It's like the 4 companies to own the brand just never seem to get everything all in order. The show hasn't been handled right since Time Force. Saban had the formula down to a T.
At least if PR is dead, we've gone out on a high. The Hasbro-era seasons are genuinely great. Better for us to end on the great 30th anniversary than the disappointing 20th anniversary.
Not gonna lie the last few videos you have done, made you sound like a corporate shill. What happened to you man?
He wants to impress Simon Bennett since he watches his videos, and he's commented in the past thanking him for his "hard work" reviewing the episodes. Dosm is like Bruno, they want to be in good-standing with Hasbro.
He's trying to be a realist in the situation but doesn't get that even the realist PR fans aren't taking Hasbro's shit. He's giving Hasbro too much benefit of the doubt and trying to look at it through there eyes like he's a business man. And has constant problems lumping in fans that have genuine problems with Hasbro with the more toxic ones because fans constantly complain in every fandom. Yet his complaining about the fans is just as annoying and he really needs to let go of that. It's gonna be a problem with every fandom.
Reupload?
Yup
Power Rangers is obsolete.😂
You're right about fandoms being exhausting nowadays(that's a lie. They've always been exhausting)
It's not even just PR and Star Wars. It seems like so many fandoms of long-running franchises are going through an inferiority/superiority complex with a little bit of victim mentality.
I think they should adapt zyuohger and king-ohger into power rangers and make original footage similar to dino fury and cosmic fury I want power rangers back
Honestly, this news wasn't too shocking. Because again, alot of the writing was on the wall between Power Rangers not seeming like a big priority for Hasbro compared to their bigger names, and alot of extenuating circumstances that put alot of wrenches in the works. Again, I'm starting to feel you strongly about how tiring fan discourse can get.(AKA one of the many reasons why I'm glad I no longer have a twitter.) Don't get me wrong, I 100% agree that treating a big corperation like your friend, and making parasocial levels of unquestioning brand loyalty the basis of your personality is a dangerous mindset to hold, and it's important to voice your disapointment and know when to vote with your wallets. At the same time, treating every decison a company makes that you don't like on the same level as burning our crops, poisoning our water supply, and delivering a plague onto our houses is just swinging too hard in the opposite direction.(Again, mirroring alot of my feelings about Nintendo discourse in recent years.) The key is balance, It's okay to support a company but to not blindly defend them, at the same time it's okay to be disapointed, but to not let personal expectations cloud your judgement.
Very frustrating how you can't have a reasonable conversation today. You either have to be labeled a shill or apologist of pick up a pitchfork.
Kids today are different I guess because we definitely appreciated the different rangers every year. Them switching cast actually helped save the show in the late 90’s.
I haven't seen much from Josh outside of LightningFigPR, though I remember how he tried to have beef with MMPRtoys over views or whatever so who even knows what is going on. Also idk how to feel after one of my co-workers thought he was similar to Chris Chan.
Also funny how this reupload pops up with a mention of Acolyte and I saw a mini-YTP making fun of that one actor's mess up lmao
lol a beef that MMPRtoys started because people weren’t liking his videos as much as he thought they should. No clue why this is relevant to this news
Its probably an algorithm thing that affects everyone sadly. Also cant unsee the comparison
MMPRtoys is in the pocket of Hasbro so he'll never go against them. Josh was right for calling him out. I defended Josh in Bruno's comment section and explained how he's been correct about the news and I was blocked for it. Bruno isn't the same guy he was years ago. He talks down to fans more often and does it similar to how Simon did when he was working on the show. Bruno also worships people like Chris Chan, Dylan Mulvaney and Ezra Miller, and he defended Pride Month really hard recently.
Josh is these size of Chris chan yes
Josh is a very toxic individual and MMPRToys moans about everything all the time. I'm not surprised the two of them ended up fighting. Another example of why I hate this fandom and the people in in. DosmRider seems to be the only level headed person in this fandom.
I liked 3C films take on the Netflix deal ending that it's a chance for power Rangers to be back in the theaters and for a studio to get behind it and put some money in it who tf knows tho Just trying to be positive
I don't want to be boring but haven't Power Rangers already lost its reason for existing? Because the idea of Power Rangers was to bring Tokusatsu from the West, changing things to make it more palatable to the public due to cultural differences and now this public has met the original Tokusatsu from Japan and is much more receptive to these cultural differences, even more so with the popularity of anime in the USA, so wouldn't it be more interesting if there was a greater effort to officially bring Japanese series to the West, just like what happens in the video market today? I know we have many fans and it created its own universe, although perhaps it would be interesting for the franchise to free itself from this concept of adapting oriental series and be its own thing like Robotech or Voltrom, but at the same time I feel that it will become something distant than the Tokusatsu is meant to please a larger audience, it's something that can be discussed because I don't have a defined opinion about it
I mean to be fair power rangers had kinda evolved passed that since MMPR
I think the Power Rangers universe is unique and gave a good niche (although a relative monopoly) for Ameritoku that I'm glad it stayed...still I do wish if the series won't continue that maybe the can dub unadapted seasons now (maybe even Kyuranger too).
I still can’t believe this is happening! PR deserves so much better and not just be a staple of 90’s pop culture!
That's sounds like they had entirely too many Women in their company.
Yeah, like David Yost and Simon Bennett.
While I don't necessarily agree women can't direct PR well (Jackie Marchand is a great example) I agree it seems they should've had a men's majority team in a boy's demo franchise.
Well well well....
Very cool video mister dosmrider
So, Mr. Frank is already gone
Are we going to get a neo neo Saban era?
I hope so! Because I want more Sentai Adapted Seasons for the future of Power Rangers as well as everyone else does.
So Hasbro is killing a franchise they never wanted in the first place?
why am I not surprised?
I hope we don't get MMPR as the norm in the future, we have had enough off MMPR back in the 90s I loved it grew up on it, but I crave new Power Rangers not more MMPR rehash...
As much as I appreciate Mighty Morphin, I also want to see Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, SPD.
Its the fan discourse is annoying me
DEI
The problem is similar to Disney. PR is a boys brand and the did everything to put a chick in it and make it ghey.
They wanted to get rid of the fans for a girl power demographic and a DEI version of PR and it's over from there.
Bruh.
PR has been inclusive since day 1, in case you forgot.
That's not the problem.
Girl Time Force is literally what you're describing, a girl leading the team. There's a black woman in the main cast as a ranger. We literally had green hair and pronoun characters. Are you one of those Star Treks/Star Wars fans screaming about how everything is now Woke/DEI because there are women and minorities in a TV show.
Edit: I kinda realized my previous comment had some grammar "mistake".
@hailthequeenFM The cast is diverse but was directed by mostly men (same logic for Kim Possible's direction for example).
Seeing the series has ended I'm not sure if it is but I do agree maybe the low prioritzation over other brands (and PR already is sadly a low-tier brand relatively albeit is still popular) may be because they aren't hiring the right people for a boy centric franchise (as much as it has appeal for girls too).
edleast Power Rangers did not get modern audience woke sjw sweetbabyinc journo hitpieced consulted for 7 miljons
It’s a very interesting time to be a fan of power rangers
I think this info is misunderstood. Hasbro didn't want what Entwistle and Netflix wanted for Power Rangers. Personally, neither did I.
They were about to destroy what Power Rangers is and make it another gritty Netflix repeat, that would be cancelled within a few years.
Try a few months, maybe even weeks if it was bad enough.
I do get why not everyone in the company needs to be a fan of the brand. But at the same time you should have at least some people who are familiar and passionate about the brand to have a general idea of how to handle it and understand what the customers want. Because if you don't have at least some people on it that know what the IP is about then you're gonna make a ton of terrible decisions with people who don't care about it and it'll cause the brand's value to tank. Aka it'd be like if you put me in charge of G.I. Joe. I don't know shit about that brand so putting me in charge of it is a terrible idea. And if there's no one else on the team that knows the ins and outs of what the brand special to educate me we'd be screwed.
This kind of reminds me a lot of how some Marvel films that have directors that aren't passionate about comics and are only doing it to get that bag so they can actually make the films that they want. Like Thor Love and Thunder is probably the biggest example of it.
Shang Chi was the last MCU masterpiece!
So then why'd they buy the franchise in the first place?!
they really didn’t, one guy from Hasbro bought the rights without telling anyone in corporate
Hasbro the company didn't want Power Rangers, however the guy in charge of Hasbro at the time wanted Power Rangers, so he bought it without consulting anyone else in the company, then he died sometime later, so Hasbro got stuck with a brand they weren't interested in.
I think it's time to start blaming David Yost also. Simon Bennett admitted in an interview that he wanted to "show David how much the show has changed" with all the DEI quotas and he continuously lied about it while David still sided with him. He is a huge problem. Just because you were harassed, that doesn't give you the right to force propaganda on kids. Bryan Cranston was right!
Dafaq are you on about?
Propaganda so telling kids to be kind is a propaganda. I guests I should children that it's okay to bully people then.
Hasbro has fumbled and made blunders with the Power Rangers brand. Hopefully that they learn from their mistakes before relaunching the brand; when they get around to it. People should give Hasbro another chance.
The My Little Pony fan base is EXTREMELY seriously better. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
