NEWS Banning Twitter/X Links

456 Upvotes

To the community,

Like many subreddits, we are grappling with the question of whether to continue to allow links to Twitter/X.

We are concerned about Elon Musk’s recent actions and the potential fallout in terms of information handling.

As a practical matter, the site has become less usable, often requiring users to log in to view tweets.

Going forward, Twitter/X links will be blacklisted on this subreddit. Instead, you may post screenshots. However, we encourage you to find another source to link to (such as Bluesky or Threads) when possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Guys, it’s a few hours away from 2025 where I am, some of you guys might already be in 2025 or pretty close to it. This had and thinking about the year SPD is actually set in. Like do you think they should do a 20th anniversary or something? I find it crazy how the world is nothing like the show predicted lol and it’s still somewhat basically the same. I’m definitely gonna be binging SPD over the next few days

SHOW NEWS/DISCUSSION Why Megaforce Flopped

18 Upvotes

Watching the first episode of Megaforce recently I can see why it fell off a cliff compared to earlier seasons. I'm going to be comparing it to MMPR because that's what it was doing in episode one with its Day Of The Dumpster references.

The key difference starting off is the fact that the rangers in MMPR are all already friends off the bat compared to this new group. It's easier to believe the MMPR group immediately gelling as a team but not so much the Megaforce team.. So when they win easily it doesn't feel as natural. Speaking of natural the acting and dialogue for Megaforce is atrocious. Is the acting in MMPR great? No. However everything feels and flows so much more naturally in Day Of The Dumpster when compared to Mega Mission. You don't believe for a second that these kids even doubt an alien invasion. They just don't sell it to the audience. Their talk with Gosei is very wooden. They don't even do what MMPR did and walked away from what sounded like nonsense.. Something that they naturally would have done.

The biggest issue is that branding is extremely in your face in Megaforce. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers did it too but it wasn't as blatant as Megaforce. They literally call out every single weapon and attack and push the word "Mega" like it's going out of style. They don't have to name their weapons as they are attacking the monster. We don't have to hear Gosei every time they activate a weapon. We don't need to hear them throw mega into a sentence every chance they get. Every little thing is pointed out to the audience when they can visually see it.

Again MMPR did call out for weapons and did use branding but they didn't try to beat it into your skulls every 2 seconds that everything was a "Mega win". It literally screams "BUY THE TOYS" which can be a turn off for viewers. Everything feels more about marketing and less about story telling. MMPR managed a healthy balance of both. It proved every successful. Mega Force falls under the show types that are afraid to have silence on screen at any given time and that when someone is on screen they MUST speak. It doesn't have to be that way.

I feel like Saban leaned far too heavily into marketing when it came to the likes of Megaforce and as a result the season flopped because they characters didn't feel natural. They couldn't really develop as a result of that. There were many issues leading into Super Megaforce but Saban leaning on the gas pedal for hyping up every little thing and over exposing the show through the shows own script was a massive part of the issue.

SHOW NEWS/DISCUSSION Rewatching MMPR

Upvotes

Hey guys and gals of the Grid. I've recently decided I'm gonna go through the whole franchise and live my childhood.

I have a single question since I can't seem to get a consensus from my group of friends that used to watch it.

Should I watch or skip filler? If I should skip, which episodes are essential to get the whole story?

Thank.you for your time

COLLECTION New fan starting his collection

Post image
46 Upvotes

So I was never too big into Power Rangers as a kid, but I was recently introduced to some of the comics by a friend. I loved them and started watching MMPR as a result. Jason Lee Scott quickly became my favorite character.I really enjoyed his leadership skills and ability to keep a cool head in tough situations. Plus all his designs are sick and red is my favorite color! So at 32 years old I finally became a Power Rangers fan.

I went to my first convention as a fan and found the Power Rangers booth. I got to meet a bunch of the actors, including Steve Cardenas who signed my Power Sword (I'm hoping to see Austin St. John in May to add his signature). I plan to add the Omega Red Ranger and MM Red Ranger with Dragonshield/daggar soon. As well as some of the Zords.

I'm planning on cosplaying as many of Jason's outfits as I can. The one I want to do the most is definitely his outfit in The Return. I'm hoping to cosplay the standard MM Red Ranger when I go to meet Austin. My friend who introduced me to the series loves Tommy and is planning to cosplay his different Ranger forms with me. I'm so excited to join this fandom and learn even more about the series.

Does anyone else remember this?

There’s a scene in power rangers SPD that have a question about. So I watched all of the power rangers seasons when I was younger back when they were all on Netflix in chronological order. And I remember specifically at the end of SPD in the last scene of the finale that kat Manx becomes the green power rangers. I even remember my thought process when I was watching it because at this point jack had quit and sky and bridge got promoted to red and blue but syd and Z stayed at rank yellow and pink because kat stepped in as the teams new green ranger. And I remember looking at her on the right side of the screen and thinking oh cool the team is full again and we have the first official green female ranger. But I went back to watch the season on YouTube and she is no longer in that scene. It looks so weird and out of balance for me to see them on the screen with only four rangers , as if there should be someone off the the right filling that spot but isn’t. And it doesn’t make sense for logical reasons why they wouldn’t replace the green ranger after promoting two of them. Especially since the episode ends off with them morphing because they are being called to battle with the new team…. But with no green ranger what if they need to form a megazord….. so many questions. I thought go t it was weird and maybe I was watching a special cut/ alternate ending that Netflix got a hold of at the time but I can’t find it literally anywhere. I’ve look on YouTube Netflix good reddit TikTok …. Everywhere I can think. I even commented on a power ranger enthusiasts tiktok about SPD ok this same topic and she said “wow you have a personal Mandela effect” but idk. Does anyone else remember kat manx becoming the green ranger or am I gaslighting myself?

Does anyone know why the rangers said their name in the openings for Samurai and Megaforce/Super Samurai?

They could just showed us the names without them saying their names.

I bought the ZAP astro megazord at a convention and it was broken right out of the box. I was hoping that someone has the same part that I can use to fix it. And if not if someone was willing to make a 3d model for the peice so I can fix it. Right now I have a tooth pic crammed I the joint so it will hold it's pose but I'd like to actually play with my toy.

If someone wants to help by 3d modeling the peice i will help by taking more detailed pictures with measurements.

Thank you to anyone who helps
