You honestly aint missin much on the PR end very grim. Sentai on the other hand I assume PR is kinda f***ed with them really getting no buzz after the Always A Ranger special and I can't even tell you if the new season came out cause I heard nothing from it Biggest piece of news to come out recently is one that really was no surprise...Hasbro never wanted PR and it doesn't seem like anyone else does either or atleast wanting to do right with the property. There was suppose to be a reboot after cosmic fury but that aint happening and cosmic fury being the end they got out on was just IMO meh for a 30yr series.

I assume a streaming service will pick it up for the catalog and figure out something but the series seems to never die when it looks like it will I will keep saying as I said previous years, just animate it. You got years worth of content to build on and morph it into a new story like they did in the comics before they went Drakkon crazy

I think it's this.
JDF had his detractors, but the guy was the one holding the torch and David Yost didn't have enough presence to carry the ball. It's not his fault, and it's an incredible comeback story. But Power Rangers shot themselves in the foot with the seasonal cast shifts.
I feel like the Time Force crew could've carried the show into a second surge, but the window properly closed after Dino Thunder.

The overall problem with everyone who touches the property doesn't care about anything else except MMPR and even diehard fans are kind of tiring of it. There are still very popular series they could give a shot to but they don't and so younger kids have no idea there is anything beyond MMPR. Like TimeForce and SPD both have casts that absoloutley would be willing to reprise their roles....SPD cast has practically been begging to be able to reprise their roles. And honestly it feels like those two casts are kind of the only series yet to be tainted by infighting or internal cast feuds etc that would have no issues working together.

The botching of Megaforce is unforgivable, the concept could've carried the show and churned out toys, but Saban did what he does.

JDF was THE GUY for Power Rangers but before he died he was pretty adamant about he wasn't doing it anymore so they were going to be f***ed
JYB has always been the 2nd best Ranger ever for me so he could hold the reigns but I don't think anyone would be against bringing back a previous for a new season but that's if you can get everyone on board
Like I keep saying, animate it. You can go back to your MMPR nostalgia run as far as characters go and can keep some original VAs if you want to. It wouldn't be hard to craft new stories with all this source material to use

JYB is the biggest case of 'How come they don't want me man?' He WANTED to be a Power Ranger, he wanted to be the guy who picked up after Tommy. He was willing to do that for the shit pay that the job is. And they said, "Nah see ya." And even after they kicked him out the door, he still came back three times after that. He was too good for Power Rangers, they didn't know what they had.

As the actor for live action or VA he could lead them and they seem to always disregard him which is crazy considering you would think with how everyone else has run away, he always kept his doors open

So after Mesogog's lair is destroyed in The Dino Thunder finale, what happens to Lothor? Is the jar containing the figure of him floating out in the ocean somewhere?

That new episode of Rail Riders was awesome, it's a shame there's only one episode left to go from it. It had the best 'feel' for Power Rangers yet from it.
The Youtube version utterly gutted it though, the full uncut version is on their patreon and isn't pay-walled thankfully.

Tom Wyner has passed away. He was a big staple of the Saban library, voicing several of the Monsters of the Day for MMPR, Masked Rider, V.R Troopers etc, he co=wrote a few MMPR episodes, including "Calamity Kimberly", he was Commander Crayfish, Mr. Ticklesneezer, General Havoc, and Furio among others. He also voiced several Digimon in that show's second season and was also the narrator for that season www.rangercast.net/blog/voice-actor-tom-wyner-saban-veteran-dies/

...And it now appears Heritage will be auctioning off 'decades' of props, costumes and memorabilia!

It's a shame in the Disney era they cut the budget and scrapped the SPD/Mystic Force crossover, so we didn't get to see Koragg vs Cruger

This is so sad, but I think without Tommy, it was never gonna feel like home to me again.
