r/powerrangers

Like, I have 2 story concepts that are both LOOSELY inspired by Power Rangers. They're a little more serious than PR, but I was wondering if PR ever inspired your own ideas or did you wanna put your own spin on the idea?

In collaboration with artist Edger Siles.

In my opinion one of the best (even if not accurate) OG Megazord models available, from Lucky Cat.

Another Megazord has joined the Mighty Deformed line, this time it's the Dino Thunder's Thundersaurus Megazord. There was nearly no complaints as this piece is nearly perfect in every ways, namely paint apps, details and articulations. Truly a must-have for collectors out there. <3

The only thing I'm complaining is that Action Toys tends to delay their product for a very long time. This one was scheduled for Q4-2025, but they only arrive after a year of waiting. :'(

There’s a running joke on TikTok about the Power Rangers showing up in Doomsday to fight Dr. Doom, it’s very fun. It did get me thinking about what if they actually did do that though. The easiest teams to put in are the ones produced by Disney so which Disney era team are you putting in to assist The Avengers?

For me it’s between RPM and Mystic Force since they both have canonical means of traveling to other dimensions and they both represent Doom’s primary skills; technology and magic.

I’d ultimately go with Mystic Force since the Avengers are a little light in the magic department as it stands (I think we’ve got like 3 magic superheroes, maybe 4 if you count Thor).

If you're confused, these are some Power Rangers OCs I created called Power Rangers Ragnorok. I didn't really have a story while writing them or even what their civilian names are or their villains, I just thought of a viking themed Power Rangers so I just...designed it to see how it looks (designs were inspired by Samurai and Dino Charge). I really like the designs and I wanna add lore to it, but I don't know what the story should be. It's been bothering for months. The core five rangers is based on Vikings but the sixth ranger is based on Aztec culture and mythology (hense the turquoise). I want the story to be a mix of Samurai, Operation Overdrive (with it's indiana jones style adventuring), and RPM. If you need the basics so far...

Red - Bear

Blue - Wolf

Pink - Raven

Green - Owl

Yellow - Fox

Quetzal Ranger - Serpent

I'm kind of at the start of binging Cosmic Fury, and, if I'm being honest, big mistake on my part. Because this season, from what I've been seeing so far, is bad. I thought it was going to be like Operation Overdrive, where I consider it so bad it's actually ironically good. But no! It's just bad. The first episode starts with a fight scene without context or breathing room, and the acting and audio is so incompetent, I don't think a fan film with a small budget would sound this bad. But, it did have potential to be good, as Kyuranger, while not perfect, is actually a really solid show, and its aesthetics could really work in Power Rangers. So, I'll fix it to be a somewhat decent series, not much in order, except for the last one, which is the most important.

1. Use the suits from Kyuranger: Yeah, really starting with an early one. Because, the Cosmic Fury suits are the worst in the history of the franchise, where even the Operation Overdrive suits are better than them. They look cheap AF, and look like they were rushed into completion, and don't match up with the aesthetics of Cosmic Fury's zords at all. They don't look like something out of a sci-fi, or have that zodiac feel to them. And yeah, the Kyuranger suits are so much better, and are almost night and day compared to them, as they match better with the aesthetic (Probably because they were the suits meant for it.), and have a unique design that tells you a bit about the ranger's motif and personality really well, while also feeling like a unit. So, why not just adapt the suits? It's a different team with different powers, so it would only make sense to just use the suits. Now, this does require reassigning, which I'll get to in my next point.
2. Mix more of the ranger colors around: Now, Amelia being the Red Ranger, while I'm not being sexist about it, I get the idea, but it just doesn't feel like it's that earned, and I don't think red suits her. That's just me. But I do think Zayto did run his course as a ranger, so he should be pushed aside for the time being until he can come back. And this is about a creative liberty from the Sentai. But, I think Amelia and Izzy should remain the Pink and Green Rangers, but the other characters should be switched. I think Aiyon works as the Yellow Ranger, which I think he is in Cosmic Fury, or he just pilots the Swordfish Zord (I refuse to call it the Shark Zord), but I think it works for him. I'd also Ollie the Silver Ranger, who coincidentally also turned evil in the Sentai, which is a plotpoint I'm keeping for him in my rewrite, while Javi becomes Orange. As for Fern, this one is pretty obvious, the Cyan Ranger for her, and either Tarrick of Billy as the Purple Ranger. Now, as for the other rangers, I think it'd be better if they were simply new characters. I'd have the Gold Ranger just be a robot named Balance (Because if it ain't broke, don't fix it.), using his suit from the Sentai, the Blue Ranger being a Sirian named Ulfrik Kruger, a possible long lost brother or cousin of Doggie Kruger, the Black Ranger be a mechanical bull named Ferdinand (A nod to the classic children's book about the bull of the same name.), and as for the Red Ranger, I think that he should be the Prince of the Lion Galaxy and the son of Viera, who I'd have captured and corrupted by the main villain of this series, who I'd name "Linus", and for the Crimson Ranger, I'd go with Mick. As for Zayto, I think this will be one of my biggest liberties from the Sentai, and it would be that the Orion Ranger, which I'll name the "Zenith Ranger" here, will be Zayto's role on the team as a spiritual ranger who later becomes a Morphing Master, instead of having it be the Red Rangers batalizer.
3. Don't make Lord Zedd the main villain: At most, Lord Zedd should be an episode 1 threat that is easily dealt with, showing why clones of the original villains aren't as powerful as the original ones. It's basically the PR equivalent of the "Somehow Palpatine returned" nonsense. I think the main villain should just be a new character entirely, probably the one responsible for freeing him in the first place. I'd also make another change from the Sentai, where instead of a conquering Fascist empire, which we've already seen multiple times in PR, I think it would work better if it's a space mafia who wants to create monsters and cause destruction so they can buy planets and extract their resources for their own profit. Is it a silly idea? Yeah. But it's creative, and could work with the series. Which we did touch upon here in Cosmic Fury, but I think it'd be better if we leaned into it more. Also, the Zentinels is a good name for the footsoldiers, but we shouldn't change the grunts from the Sentai for no reason, so they're keeping their Sentai designs.
4. Don't make the Morphing Masters fighters: From what I remember in Dino Fury, they should mostly be sages who don't do much fighting, and only grant powers to those in need. But making them fighting types was honestly really stupid, and should never have been conseptualized, and seeing them is when you know the series is going to suck, because Hasbro somehow forgot the lore of their own series. Instead, in my rewrite, they're just background characters who sometimes appear to give advice or give out powers whenever the plot demands it.
5. (Most Important) Please have it be a longer series: If I'm being honest, why did we just get 10 episodes? It's a real stretch to adapt a complex series with 12 to 13 rangers like Kyuranger into 10 episodes, which really shows that they were rushing this show. And yes, it was Hasbro's fault that it had only that many episodes. It needed at least 26 episodes, maybe even more. Because it would give us more time for stories to breathe. Like Ollie turning evil for a few episodes, the Purple Ranger Arc, adapting all the Zords from the Sentai that can be adapted, and doing the characters and villains justice. And I think it would make the series more worthwhile, and probably a better climactic finale for the franchise.

Outside of the morpher, power coins and the action figures I’ve printed and built all this on shelf

Since when i was a kid, i loved power rangers like you all do, but the thing is... i think my life as a power rangers fan was a lie, first i watched Samurai as a kid like most of gen z kids did and i liked, nowadays i just see Samurai as a ok seasson, not as good as i remember, then we have super m*gaforce, wich i thought i watched this second seasson as a kid, but it was actually the movie legendary battle, idk how but i managed to watch this movie several times as a kid and never realize it was the same, and now we come to The peak of neo saban, dino charge, this one i actually don't know i watched all of it, since i don't remember several stuff of it and i dind't knew we had more rangers besides the basic ones in the show, i was planning to rewatch it but i'm afraid that my "fake fan" stuff will be confirmed real, and now the worst part in my opinion, beast morphers, back then i saw that and then i thought "most of the new versions of old cartoons i seen like ben 10 reboot and Powepull girls reboot was bad, so i should't risk watching this one" and now i regret this because i could had watched a good seasson on TV once, now that my childhood is gone and that Power rangers had been quiet, idk if i was a real rangers fan, i had toys and videogames and all but now everything seens vague, i wish i could had been born earlier back in Disney era, so i could had more memories with the rangers, so what you guys think? (Lupinranger to get attention)
