Power Rangers still popular?

Just watched interview with Jason David Frank on his potential role in the new power rangers movie. He was very honest about his involvement with power rangers over the years, stating that he was only brought back in the dino thunder series to boost ratings. I'm surprised he was like totally honest about why he was put in the show. No shit. When I noticed they brought back the green ranger, I was like "duh" they want people to actually give a shit about power rangers again.

He goes on to say that the new generation of kids don't really even remember or care about the old school rangers since they're into the new crop (or crap imo)

Maybe that's true. I spoke to a kid at Toys R us and he's going APE SHIT for a power rangers toy for the new generation of power rangers. I wanted to kill him. Not for real in case some one wants to take me literally, but I never understood how people could like any of the new crop of rangers they kept tossing at us back in the old days. But hey, he's a little stupid fanboy. He'll like ANYTHING.

So is power rangers still popular? Yes but no where near as big as it used to be. Lol, life seems to not have moved an inch. Back in my childhood, it was power rangers going toe to toe with TMNT and to some extent ghostbusters. those were the titans of kids tv, let me tell you. I was there, I saw EVERYTHING they put on fox kids, wb kids, abc kids whatever kids block of cartoons I was just so like completely mesmerized by them and it's just part of my DNA to be a cartoon nut.

My childhood completely RAPES today's little kid's childhood it's not even funny. I wish they had the life I lived as a kid. I don't know who those people were who are making badass shows in the 90s, but GODDAMN, they were on crack or some shit. Now we got fucking gay versions of transformers, tmnt, and spiderman on tv. Fuck that shit. Just watch all the old cartoons on youtube if you're smart.

Power Rangers still kickin it? It's kinda sad for me personally. I was what 11 years old, in the living room and just repeatedly watching my power rangers movie VHS I got from blockbuster. REPEATEDLY. I LOVED THE FUCK OUT OF THAT MOVIE. To have power rangers be taken seriously as a big budget film was the most AWESOME thing in my life.

I will go to my grave having nothing but love for the people who decided to make the power rangers movie. And I still watch it today. Now we're getting a new BIG FUCKING BUDGET power rangerts movie. MY life is complete now!!! New star wars, new pwoer rangers, new ninja turtles. FUCK YES. This is what I believe in, making cool awesome amazing movies. And if they make GB3 my balls will burst so fucking hard. That's like the last thing they could potentially make that would murder my little ass.

But now that Egon's dead, not very likely... Would be badass though. Would be truly badasss. Honestly I may very well script and put together a GB3 all by myself considering we have truly limitless resources to draw from like episodes of RGB and of course EGB.

 But Yeah, I don't believe power rangers is on the same level it used to be, no way. I don't. You had to be there when it was in its prime, I mean fucking every episode was like a truel masterpiece in power rangers silly over the top style. It was perfectly ludicrous I should say. I don't think anything they bring in the new power rangers show will compare to the fucking ballsy shit that went on in the original power rangers show. they made that show from whatever kind of crazy mentality they were on back then and there was no internet. They had to put everything into the show because people had no choice but to see it as it aired. Not like today. where prettymuch everyone youtubes everything.

And the fact that the actors could actually do all the shit that the power rangers were capable of doing was amazing. I tried watching the new power rangers shows and they cast fucking actors. People trained to perform on stage like Shakespeare. Not fighters, not warriors. And that makes it hard to believe in the fight scenes. You watch it and you clearly see it's fucking stunt double doing all the work. But one of the most amazing things to behold fro me as a kid, and you may think it's no big deal, who's going to care, but it HUGE to me to see the actual actor flipping and doing the stunts. To see them actually for once in my life seeing the actors doing all the stunts and flips was truly HUGE. It's silly to think back on it to get excited by seeing the character not suddenly cut away to a stundt double but you got to realize every movie that ever came out used stunt doubles religiously so it was HUGE to finally see the actor do a flip and land and it's not cutting or quick edititing tricks. It's actually the person. And no power rangers after the original has had the serious real martial artists doing to stunts. It cuts away and we see a stunt double do all the work and then we get back to the actor. That's I think Disney's fault. Saban intended to do things old school now and get actual gymnasts and martial artists to play the rangers completely and dedicate their entire soul to the role. Which makes power rangers greater than any other kind of series like it. Every actor in it can fucking do a back flip and kick somebody's ass. Which is very serious shit. They could ultimately fuck themselves up and lose their job real quick which is why disney logically had the actors cut away to stunt doubles because if they're in a middle of a summer sault and break their neck, SHOW'S OVER.

But the origianl power rangers had balls of steel man. Watch the old fucking show really watch it and see JDF fucking do a back flip in teh midddle of an episode. I recall countless times the pink rangers and blue ranger did fucking flips all over the goddamn place and when you realize how fucking insane it is that they were doing those kind of things with a contract to appear in more episodes, it makes it seem like they were just fucking crazy but that was the 90s all around it was just a ballsy time. Really, as well trained and good at gymnastics as the actors were, ANYTHING could happen and they'd fuck themselves up, break something, and would be out of the show, yet time and again the actual actors are doing all the fucking stunts and that's what makes power rangers truly stand out as a great show because they really put EVERYTHING into the characters even going as far as doing all their own fucking stunts.

 Just saying... despite the fact that david yost announces to everybody that he like cock. He was truly badass ranger, the best one imo. Smart and could do all kinds of shit physically. Sure eventually the white ranger became the top guy, but yunno, I personally was all about fucking Billy, man... I just liked the fact that he was a super nerd whereas Jason was always like a big brute force kinda guy, and tommy was just stupid imo. I know that sound like I hated him, but far from it. I really have nothing against tommy but when it comes to who's smarter, it's billy by a fucking lightyear. Tommy always looked like he was just ready to fuck the shit out of kimberly 24/7. Even as a kid I knew JDF was always hard for the pink ranger. They probably did fuck now that I think about it. Yeah no doubt he boned that girl her ass or mouth or some shit at some point. i would.

So yeah to answer the question. Is power rangers still popular? We'll see. I'm going to be there when the movie comes out and I'm going gauge whether it makes any money. Truly if JDF is in the movie doing something at all. It WILL definitely make some bank. Otherwise, I don't think it's going to make nothing. Simply because my generation of kids is getting old. We're done with kids toys, time to get pussy time start a family, make money. Not going to become shitty fanboys and girls again for star wars and power rangers. Like I'm 28 now. I'm still a virgin. That's wrong, should be fucking every bitch on the street, instead of looking forward to power rangers.

Certainly hope to get to that point instead of being interested in these big movies. But considering Pacific Rim was basically a big power rangers rip off and that movie made a goddamn bucket of money and fucking transformers still makes billions despite being big piles of garbage, mabye ther's hope for Power Rangers. Cuz that's wht it's going to be a big fucking smash up of transformers and pacific  Rim. And that's most likely what Saban is going to be making, a big fucking real deal power rangers in the style of pacific rim, spare no expense and if indeed the original cast returns as mentors to a new group of rangers, THEY WILL FUCKING OWN THE BOX OFFICE.

Now of course one has to take into consideration the fact that the rangers are done being rangers. JDF is the only one hanging around still holding on to his glory as a ranger, meanwhile nobody else really holds onto it as strongly because it wasn't that huge. It came it went and it's not on the same level as like star wars or something really huge like that. It was power rangers and it's big to people like me but not to people who are into much grander works of art. Yunno, it's nerd stuff. And sadly we're in a different time now. The popularity of the original rangers is starting to fade tremendously especially because my generation of kids is now fucking nearing 30.

LOL LOL LOL, this is quit a gamble for saban. They will push forward and make this movie there's no doubt but the question is, what kind of movie will it be and who's the audience. Do they care if a 29 year old power rangers fanboy abandons his quest to stick his dick in a female and go see power rangers? Or are they more into catching the kids today who are watching the new power rangers on Nickelodeon and of course the ones watching power rangers on the internet?

Goddamn, I just hope this movie will feature some of the old cast coming back for some kind of I don't know little cameo. It's fascination all the recent interviews and appearances by the power rangers actors over the years seems to have been some kind of sign that they're working on making a big power rangers revival. IF indeed this movie has EVERYBODY come back to play their old character again in a FUCKING HUGE expensive film it will really be a great movie. Otherwise, this will basically be Pacific Rim 2. Which isn't bad but imagine if JDF was the big black dude in pacific rim. Never touched a giant robot never got into the action but he was like a serious old school Colole in the military, been there done that, nothing surprises him. And he's not the main character but he's like in the background and always angry and saying "back in my day as a ranger, we ate nails" that would kick so much ass...

Yeah....
