Wow, Power Rangers Bruce Timm style?

I whole-heartedly agree with you on your last paragraph, I somewhat agree with you on the 1st one and your 2nd one made my eyes bleed so much I almost became blind right after reading the entire thing:sweat: !
 
They keep going because A) they renew themselves and B) their audiance is renewed. For each kid 'outgrowing' Power Rangers there's a kid discovering a new serie.

And that's a VERY unfair comparaison. Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman and all the other Superhero have almost a hundred years of history and popular culture backing them up! Power Rangers is in it's infacy with only 15 years!!

However in Japan if you got a Kamen Rider or Jetman keychain or something it won't look any weirder than your superman t-shirt.

EDIT: Oh and American suck at dubbing live action.
 
Eh, not a fan of the pictures. Bruce Timm's "square jaws and square shoulders" art deco inspired style gets a little tiresome for me at times. I know the shows he did were groundbreaking and pretty much created that "9-14 year old" demographic, but I still get a little bored with that style of his.

Glen Murakami should do a Power Rangers animated series. Considering their Japanese roots, I think something anime-inspired like Teen Titans would work.

Or maybe Jeff Matsuda because he could come up with some crazy monster designs.
 
I don't see how it's confusing. It's only confusing if you don't know that it's a new series every year and expect it to be all the same guys year after year.

Also, I seem to remember that PR tried its darnedest to keep from changing things up too much for a long time even though they were working with footage from the ever-changing, ever-renewing Super Sentai. First they just swapped zords every year, which I thought seemed a little awkward. They would have zords of mythical animals or "ninja" animals and still be wearing their "dino" suits. Then they just started trying to switch both suits and zords. This happened starting with Zeo. Meanwhile, actors would be leaving at odd intervals, having their characters going with them. This would result in having to create and cast new parts. Eventually, it probably just seemed easier to adopt the Japanese method of year-long series rather than trying to jump through hoops to keep some sense of continuity.

Sometimes, I wonder if Saban and company really understood the nature of Super Sentai when they started making the show. For some reason I just imagine someone from Saban Productions on the phone with someone in Japan saying "What do you mean it's not Zyuranger anymore?!" :p
 
The low production values are part of its charm, going back to it's Japanese Super Sentai roots. Then again, some people just don't like any of that kind of "tokusatsu" for that very reason (like the people who won't watch Godzilla movies because they think they're cheesy).
 
None taken...it's part of it's charm.

And really now can you blame them for having a low budget?? I think they do great for what little they got. Not everybody got the budget of Heroes or Smallville... heck even without that budget I PREFER the action in PR than from Smallville (don't watch Heroes much ^^;). At least half the budget isn't wasted on enflated egos.
 
And yet it manages an actual plot every season...imagine that. Anyway, this almost got my hopes up. I've been waiting on news of the animated PR for a good while. Whether other fans agree or not, something like that has a lot of potential in both more serious plots/better looking fight scenes (where the lasers hit the Rangers instead of hitting behind them), and bringing back characters we haven't seen in years.
 
I`ve seen Rangers get blasted more now than a few years back. Not quite as fun as the Dino Thunder fights but Overdrive gets it done. Watching the big birthday blowout team up?
