Shishi Red hasn't been taking things well, since he found out they only wanted the mecha and not him.

I know we have a Fan Film thread, but I thought I'd promote this upcoming PR fanfilm series in here seeing as it might be what we depend on next year with no new show

Cosmic Fury Morph Sequence and trailer {Spoiler}Deathryuger confirmed, but No confirmation that it's Heckyl specifically just yet
You can spot Amelia attacking Ollie and a few grunts in one scene, so that confirms he's evil

I am still not fond of these suits especially compared to what they could have used...and I know it is because they wanted original footage but they could have still done this exact thing with the Kyuranger suits.

On Twitter/X, Nicknews claims to have been sent screeners of the full season and has given his thoughts on each episode in a very hyperbolic fashion, here's what he wrote (zero spoilers)
As far as I'm aware, Nick News is not Kevin Smith

So I'm watching the 1st whole episode of Tommy as the White Ranger.
Zack, Trini and Jason already got their fake voices under the suits.
So did they already quit before Tommy was even revealed as the white ranger?
Shit is sloppy between this episode and the change over to Rocky, Adam and Aisha with those fake voices from Jason, Trini and Zack.
Is this episode the EARLIEST the fake voices appeared?

Missing Green which is a few episodes before White Light has some dubbing. They walked off the set a couple episodes after White Light but before they did the ADR for episodes they already filmed. My favorite moments are when they recycle footage of Jason, Trini, and Zack but they have to make Tommy wear green again to match the old footage.

The last episode the trio filmed was Opposites Attract. They walked off set after filming, and were fired shortly after. Since they were fired after filming, they didn't do any ADR/voice overs for any of the episodes in that filming block, which includes White Light. Voice "doubles" were used to do the ADR. Body doubles and reused footage were used to film a few episodes until the auditions for the new Rangers completed and the characters established.

And there’s certain episodes post-White Light where “Jason”, “Zack”, and “Trini” are usually the first ones taken down/brainwashed/whatever by the monster of the week so that it’s left up to Tommy, Billy, and Kim to save the day.

So over the last few months I've been doing a watch-through of Power Rangers on YouTube whenever I've had the chance (usually during dead time at work). As of two weeks ago I was only up to early season three and hadn't even gotten up to the Kat episodes yet when I saw the rumors that they might be taking the episodes down soon. I decided to start marathoning the show to at least get through Alien Rangers before they disappear, which I finished today...
Look, I want to be diplomatic about this. I don't want to criticize a thirty year old show that was little more then a toy commercial for little kids back in the day. But I just want to say that, sometimes, you just don't realize how good an actor or actress is, even in something as cheesy as Power Rangers, until they're gone and you're dealing with their replacement.

The 30th anniversary comic actually gave us a glimpse into how Tommy and Kat's relationship blossomed, culminating in their wedding (Kat even got to kick ass in her brides dress). I'm not a big fan of the original work the comics do, but when they're used to plug the gaps in continuity like this, they're at their best.

Seems there's a bit of a twitter/X storm gathering after Simon Bennet expressed the opinion PR needs to cut ties with Tokusatsu to become more appealing. Fans were of course irate about this and one of the actors pushing back and trying to calm fandom down over Bennet's comments was {Spoiler}David Fielding, aka Zordon

Simon Bennet confirmed a small detail about Cosmic Fury {Spoiler}The show doesn't end on a massive cliffhanger, but a loose end is left unresolved. A fan asked him if we should expect a new season and he replied with "I wish"

Simon Bennet believes that when the strikes end, production on the Entwhistle project ought to start around late 2024 and be ready for air in 2025. Interestingly, Bennet says the original intention was a hard reboot, aimed at older audiences with no dependency on Sentai or past continuity, though we do know that since then Entwhistle has indicated that Tommy's legacy will be a part of what's to come, so maybe they're pivoting slightly He also provides insight into Hasbro's own views on Sentai “People within Hasbro found the Sentai-based style of Power Rangers to be too cheesy and corny for modern US sensibilities. There was a genuine desire within Hasbro to make Power Rangers work for a much broader audience, and the general feeling was that the traditional show was too niche. By moving away from the Sentai performance style and look, and towards something that was perceived as more American, it was hoped to give the show broader appeal. They looked at other contemporary kids' live-action content, and quite correctly, in my opinion, saw them as being more sophisticated in their visual language.”
