Movie News & Miscellany

Holy shit, Mogwai are Pokemon. Get them wet and they spawn (that's what she said), feed them after midnight and they evolve into Gremlins. Extremely weak vs Light element.
 
I doubt they'll add a new Pokemon type since they just did that last generation.

Though I'd prefer that to the rumor that there will be Pokemon-trainer fusions, as apparently has happened on the show at this point. -_-
I think this has only happened in the PokeMon ReBurst manga. But really, it's not THAT odd... they are already sort of ripping off Digimon with the whole "temporary evolution" thing, so why not take Biomerge and Spirit Fusion as well?

I guess I figured Pokemon was so far ahead of Digimon in terms of sales and popularity that they didn't need to rip them off.

Now I guess we just wait for when every Pokemon's final evolution is covered in blades and guns.

Digimon actually used to be neck and neck with Pokemon in the Us for awhile, mostly because the show was better. And it's hard for some people to remember but Digimon is actually from the 80's...

Yeah, but the neck and neck time period was probably 15 years ago or more. Nowadays people seem surprised when a new Digimon game is even localized.

That kinda happens in pokken tournament, where you can build your trainer synergy to make the Pokemon go into burst mode.

...no idea what your referring to here, Tamagatchi was made in the 90s. Tron joke I'm assuming? Or some other thing?
 
So... she's sort of like a mix of Trakeena (Lost Galaxy), Divatox (Turbo), and Scorpina (MMPR)? Alright, whatever. As someone who watches the show, I'm willing to let go of those memories for the sake of mass market appeal, as long as the movie itself isn't a shitfest.
 
I'm not questioning the choice, but I am wondering how they arrived at that casting decision.
...and also now wondering if Seth Rogen will get cast as Zordon.

If the movie isn't as least sort of terrible, they are doing it wrong imo.

There is goofy, good-natured cheese and then there is stuff that isn't fun. Fun is the key word here: Power Rangers/Super Sentai is a show about superheros handled in an often comedic, fun way. It can drift into other genres (RPM is fairly dark) but, as a whole it's just Silver Age heroics personified. Haim Saban gets this, as is evident in the current season of the show (Super Dinocharge), so I have faith it will be fine.

Depending on how much control Saban will have vs Legendary, who's Godzilla put me to sleep.

I do agree with your post, and also want to add that RPM really knew how to balance tone, that show. It might just be the darkest and most humorous PR series.
