Power Rangers

Looks like they stuck with the original Dinozords, which is good. Tough to make out but the red ranger looks to be on a T-Rex.

Why wouldn't they? The whole thing is overtly a remake of MMPR. And the Rangers' helmets in the earlier publicity photos recognizably had the same animal stylings as the Zyuranger/MMPR suits, so we knew they'd still be associated with the same extinct-animal totems. (I refuse to call them "dinosaurs" when one is a pterosaur and two are mammals.)
 
A really good idea to figure out where the ranger's are sitting or in the case of Billy "posing"

I don't think that mastodon one is quite right -- the thing that Zack is standing on looks like the trunk, with the two tusks bracketing and below it.
 
So wonder if how they'll actually do Alpah 5, as a motion capture CGI character, or a person in a suit?
 
This week's Dino Supercharge episode had some interesting changes going on with the villains, with a new big bad taking over. This one is based on the second-in-command of the Kyoryuger villains, so we'll probably be getting more Sentai footage now than we did with Heckyl and Snide. The "Fortress" monster/Megazord was interesting, a super-tough monster trained to guard against attacks -- although I have to wonder if there's really that much difference between blocking one Megazord's cumbersome weapon and another Megazord's equally cumbersome weapon. They're all just big sticks, basically. Anyway, the Sentai monster it was based on was cemetery-themed, so they kind of toned that down here.

Oh, and the alien planet where the Dark Energem was buried was "Sentai VI?" Uh... huh.

The plot with the Rangers and the food critic was silly and pointless and a lot less interesting than the drama with the bad guys. Did they really need to go through all this trouble to figure out that trying a new Megazord combination was the solution, when they come up with new Megazord combinations roughly every other week anyway?

Oh, I forgot to comment on this weekend's Dino Supercharge episode. It's an interesting idea to have a Silver Ranger who's a suit alien -- is this the first time that's happened since SPD? And having him be merged with an "evil twin" is an interesting idea that they resolved way too quickly. I wonder if Heckyl and Snide will want to get their hands on that splitting tech and separate themselves.

The band-audition subplot was silly -- would any professional music group actually recruit new members by auditioning random people from the public, and would they do it at a museum? But it was cool to see the attraction between Tyler and Shelby actually come out into the open and advance to the beginnings of a relationship. We don't see that happen very often in PR.

Neat posters. It looks like they're based on the stylized posing/dancing/whatever of the original Zyuranger characters, although I don't remember their exact moves.
 
Character bios

Jason the Red Ranger was a football legend in his home town of Angel Grove until one fateful mistake. When we first meet Jason, he is in need of redemption and struggling to find himself. But soon he is given a chance to lead a new team made of an unlikely group of teenage superheroes, and he must find it in himself to rise to the challenge.

Kimberly the Pink Ranger used to be Queen Bee of Angel Grove High, but has been cast out of the popular clique and is now struggling to find her identity. She has a rebel-without-a-cause edgy attitude, but this front is hiding a secret that makes her feel deeply vulnerable.


Billy the Blue Ranger has always been challenged in his abilities to communicate and interact socially. Whip-smart & sweet, he is the most pure-hearted of the group. Billy has never really had any friends, so finding teenagers he is comfortable with is a big deal. Soon he is connecting with people in ways never capable of before meeting the team.

Trini the Yellow Ranger is mysterious but extremely bright. Her parents constantly move for work, making her the perpetual new girl at school. A loner who owns it, Trini is self-sufficient and contemplative, but always observant.

Zack the Black Ranger is filled with bravado and swagger. He is tough and cool on the exterior but has many layers beneath his fearless surface. Zack advertises everything about himself- except the truth, which makes him feel deeply inferior to peers.


But that’s not all folks- the very first teaser trailer for this exciting reboot is expected to be released TOMORROW at New York Comic Con! Be sure to stay tuned to TokuNations’ ongoing coverage so we can bring you every details from this amazing event!
