Geeked out at that trailer so much, the special drops on my 38th birthday so there’s a touch of full circleness about it
Barbara’s Rita voice sounds very much like her season 1 voice, Richard’s Alpha voice does sound a bit aged but still good and love that Zack seems to be the leader for this, akin to when he was de facto when Jason was captured in the Green With Evil saga
Don’t mind as much the Dino Megazord being CGI but it throws up a couple of unique points, first time Rocky and Kat piloting them zords and in the latter’s case, piloting an MMPR era zord solo as she only ever co-piloted the Falcon zord and White Shogon zord with Tommy
Curious to see how the morph sequence will look as they’ve changed the look of the teleporting wave, we haven’t had a full MM ranger morph sequence since Adam in Operation Overdrive and that was poorly done

I know it's out of necessity (after all, it couldn't be Aisha) but it still really stings to see Trini get killed off.

It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth that they kill Trini off as a plot point. Looks great...idk how to feel about the megazord being all CGI now because I am all for actual practical mech suits ..not to say it can't be done well it was very good in Don Brothers but if I had my choice I would have gone practical. Yet Toei made a brand new Daizyujin suit years ago for the Gokaiger vs Go-Busters movie, and it was reused a few times since then, too. I'm like you, I would prefer practical suits for this kind of thing.a I know Power Rangers rarely does it's own zord footage (the destruction of the Thunder Megazord at the hands of Rito Revolto in season 3 is a rare case), but if ever there was a time to do it, this was it. Look how f***ing boss that looks...like you said I wish they would have just borrowed the suit from Toei because again it looks so f***ing good hell all of the suits here do.

I am so far beyond excited for this. Power Rangers was such a big part of my childhood. I don’t know if I’d be in Tokyo now if not for MMPR sending me down the rabbit hole 30 years ago.

The return of Billy Cranston is, frankly, the thing that I'm responding to most positively to with all this. I know some people were disappointed Amy Jo Johnson said no to what they offered her, JDF wasn't involved prior to his passing (I've heard he was quite loyal to Haim Saban over the years), but knowing what he was going through when he walked off the set of Zeo and never came back, it's good to see David Yost do this again. Walter Jones, too. He mostly stayed away, aside from (I think) a bit of voice work. We never saw Zack after he went to the peace conference. I wonder how the very presence of the Green Ranger is addressed here, if JDF didn't take part. Will we just get the green ranger show up already morphed? Is there another character taking up that suit as well? Tommy canonically is a dad in-universe as of "Dimensions in Danger" after all...

I do like the nod to the fact that Rita Repulsa was based off of Witch Bandora (with the "Bandora Protocol") for fans of the original sentai program.

I like it. I would have wanted Rita to be more robotic looking, like her dress looking like it was made of metal too. Like the little Easter egg with Astro Megaship and Turtle Cove. I just notices it but she look like something that would be part of the Machine Empire.

Jason was approached to do the special, but he took a look at an early version of the script and felt they were trying to copy his movie "Legend of the White Dragon" and persuade him to prioritise the MMPR special over his own passion project, so he had a major falling out with them over that and announced his retirement from the role of Tommy Oliver. The Green Ranger you'll see in this special is just a stunt double in the suit, it's meant to be Tommy, but whether or not he gets the MMPR season two treatment (bad voice-over dubbing) is yet to be seen

Of all the attempts Power Rangers has had when it comes to these anniversary team ups, this may potentially be the best one we've had since Forever Red. Though I'm a bit so-so on the way they wrote off Trini's death knowing her actress passed away over 20 years ago. So is Robo Rita the same Rita Repulsa that became Mystic Mother in Mystic Force? Or is this a robot created by Zedd implanted with Rita's memory prior to the 'Z' Wave? Regardless, it's cool we're getting an epilogue with most of the MMPR cast wondering what they've been up to since they stopped being regulars on the show.

I'm really excited for the Power Rangers 30th special. Hope there will be some amazing surprises and twists and turns.

So it's hinted in this new interview that the writer of the Johnathan Entwhistle reboot may no longer be involved in the process open.spotify.com/episode/1Fgy67mFsfudW9ugtGar4PHonestly, I want Once and Always to do record numbers for Netflix so we get more specials like that instead of whatever Entwhistle is or isn't doing. It's taking too long and I can't imagine how much has been sunk in this

I just wish they'd have someone f***ing competent at the helm so we get good Sentai adaptaions again.

She keeps changing her story.
First, it was because they offered her a low price Then, it was never about the money Now, it was because she was writing the comic
These excuses get new powers every week...whatnext?
Excuse Into Turbo!
EXCUEESSSe MEEEEEE LOST GALAXY!
