Hasbro's Power Rangers era and General Tokusatsu discussion

[Samurai8472]

I'd personally be up for a Shotaro only anniversary movie, just have him as Kamen Rider Joker and bring back Accel and we could probably get a fun film, but it probably wouldn't be worth it for Toei.

Yeah. It just wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be an anniversary special of "Kamen Rider Double" it would just be some extra material with Joker.



Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations Movie Announced.

https://news.tokunation.com/2021/10/19/kamen-rider-beyond-generations-movie-announced-72173

This new film is titled Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations and will feature a special team-up between 1971’s Kamen Rider 1, 2021’s Kamen Rider Revice and a BRAND NEW Kamen Rider from the far-off year of 2071!

Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations is currently scheduled for release on December 17 2021.

And we got a sneak peek at the Kamen Rider of 2071 today

I'm getting Guyver vibes due to the antenna design. Now I'll be disappointed if he's not the star Kamen Rider when we actually reach 2071 much like i'll be disappointed if we don't get a ninja rider in 2022

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

You know what would be hilarious, if we actually got the exact Ninja Rider series in 2022 =D.

We're so close!

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, I'd also like to see Kamen Rider Shinobi for real. Although I think they'd have to redesign the costumes and remake the "episodes" in the spinoff special, since the original costumes were remodels of previous Rider costumes, and if it were the real deal, it would rate a more original design.

Meanwhile, I'm amused that they're doing a future Rider from 2071, because I was originally going to set Tangent Knights in 2071, but decided to go with 2046 instead.

Why did you pick 2046?

2071 would've been more believe-able IMO.

The 75th anniversary of Kamen Rider as opposed to the 100th. The lead character is a major otaku who's constantly dropping references to Showa- and Heisei-era tokusatsu and anime, and I figured her familiarity with those shows would be more credible if it were closer to the present. It also lets me keep the slang and cultural references more contemporary.

As for the credibility of the super-armor and other technological advances, that's all explained within the story. Indeed, it's kind of the driving mystery of Book 1.

Rumors from people who have seen what sentai 2022 red looks like

More rumors regarding the first bit of DonBrothers stuff, grain of salt. This is allegedly from the toy leaker.

-Our New Red has a Peach belt buckle

-He also has a silver peach on his forehead. The leaves of said peach are his visor

-His mouthpiece is silver, and “crusher like.” (Crushers are what Kamen Rider helmet mouths are referred to as.)

Mouth looks like Ultraman 80's

-The front handle of his GearTlinger-like gun has a tire on it. His SentaiGear is installed on the tire.

-Behind the handle is the bike portion of the gun, so it looks like holding a bike

-There is a robot that looks like ZenkaiJuran, except with a bird face

Fan's interpretation

Our first look at Black Sun the semi sequel to "Kamen Rider Black"

Action figure from the highly detailed figuarts line

Black's Bike

The actors who will play black and also Shadow Moon

A look at the belt which will be sold.

With the more visceral look of the suit and the spiderwebs coming off his body, this looks like the closest Rider has gotten to Shin (90s version) since that movie. The vibe of everything is closer to Guyver than Kamen Rider, but in a way that absolutely works.

Something tells me it's about to get gritty and there will koolaid/blood spewing from monsters.

Power Rangers Franchise Launching a Brand New Universe With Netflix

Jonathan Entwistle of "The End of the F***ing World" and "I Am Not Okay with This" attached. Apparently both series and movies planned.

 

[1987SpaceGuy]

Are the "Netflix Power Rangers Universe" the first productions completely without "SuperSentai" footage, 90s and 2017 movies aside?

• Still disappointed we've never gotten the Power Rangers version of Uchu Sentai KyuRanger.
  
• Really wish we'd get the 2017 movie cast in more movies or mini series. Like them very much.

 

[Christopher]

That's the impression I get. Not sure how I feel about that, frankly. And will they really be creating something entirely original, or will they be doing yet another reboot of the Mighty Morphin Rangers, like the movie and the comics?

Just to split hairs, there have been occasional individual episodes of Power Rangers shows without any Sentai footage to speak of, though I assume that by "productions" you mean entire series. The first episode of Beast Morphers was all original footage, and the first episode of Dino Fury had only one brief Sentai clip as part of a flashback. But of course they did reuse Sentai costumes and props.

 

[Samurai8472]

Donbrothers red ranger will be revealed end of December followed by a January debut in Zenkaiger

 

[Samurai8472]

Kamen Rider Zero-One is getting an entirely American comic adaptation. Also there will be an English translation of the manga version of "Kamen Rider Kuuga"

https://www.stonebotcomics.com/50-years-of-kamen-rider/

StoneBot Comics is excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider by publishing an official English translation of the Kamen Rider Kuuga seinen manga series and creating an original comic book series and graphic novels set in the Kamen Rider Zero-One universe! More info coming soon!

 

[Samurai8472]

This could turn out to be really well or crash and burn. This is apparently going to be a concept Black Sun will be getting into:

A bit on the nose IMO

The franchise's last attempt at civil rights discussion was Zero-One, which ended with... Aruto continuing to sell the robots as workers, but just being 'friendly' about it.

Hunh. Well, I'm not optimistic about the Black subfranchise's ability to handle sympathetic portrayals of its villains. After all, Black RX went to the trouble to establish that the Crisis Empire was just trying to colonize Earth to save its people from annihilation, and that their homeworld's rank and file population was not evil and just wanted to survive, but then

Spoiler

had Black RX destroy their whole planet in the finale, killing billions as if it were no big deal.

I guess Japan views Outsiders colonizing Earth as bad?

I guess Japan views Outsiders colonizing Earth as bad?

No, because Kamen Rider Ghost used the same dynamic but came to a far more peaceable resolution. It's just that Showa-era kids' shows were more superficial about these things and just tended to go for the big boom at the end without giving much thought to the morals. Like in the second episode of Ultraman, where Ultraman exterminated 2 billion miniaturized Baltan refugees rather than just steer them to an alternate homeworld they could colonize. (Which came back to bite Earth repeatedly when it turned out there were vengeful survivors.)

And it's not just the Japanese. How many innocent techs, maintenance workers, and prisoners were in the Death Star when Luke Skywalker blew it up? Who cares, woohoo, happy ending!

I guess Showa-era kids shows didn't like to think too much about their solutions.

I agree, many innocent workers on the Death Star suffered because Luke Skywalker blew it up.

During what era did Japanese Kids shows start thinking about a solution that wasn't a simple spectacle at the end, but what made sense to us adults?

 

[Christopher]

I agree, many innocent workers on the Death Star suffered because Luke Skywalker blew it up.

What gets me is how many prisoners there must've been. I mean, Luke and Han were able to pass off Chewie as a prisoner being transferred. The guards were not surprised by the presence of an unfamiliar Wookiee prisoner, which tells us that the detention levels must have been pretty well-stocked with prisoners. So Luke probably killed a bunch of fellow rebels, sympathizers, and the like.

During what era did Japanese Kids shows start thinking about a solution that wasn't a simple spectacle at the end, but what made sense to us adults?

I don't think it's the children who would've changed -- I think it's more that, over time, the adults making children's shows have gained more respect for the intelligence of their viewers. Or at least they understand that the shows have adult fans as well.
