"Remastered" MMPR
It's obvious that the double quotation marks means that the outcome is for the worse.
I almost fainted when I saw the "remastered" special effects!
Disney is trying its best to kill off the franchise in the most epic way: Butcher the original first series which made the show so popular in the 90s. With this, I declare that Power Rangers: Rest In Peace 1993-2009 with RPM as the official last season.
I miss RPM already! Chances of future Sentai adaptations are slim by the looks of it.
I don't even know what are they trying to achieve by adding such cheapskate effects in the background and turning it into a 60s comic show.
Witnessed the "awesome" effects already with the opening:
Megazord of the Rising Sun!
Look! We need subtitles!
Maybe, it's good to have some introductions of the villains, but perhaps it should not be done in the 60s comic style.
"Awesome" flipping! We really need that...!
More "special effects!"
And now, for spelling lessons! Proudly presented by Disney:
Just when you thought you have seen it all...
So there's stars, arrows and hearts! Wow!
All together! Power Rangers!!!
We need Dinozord Power now!
So it has come to this point that kids do not know that the Tyrannosaurus belongs to the Red Ranger?! Or we need more spelling lessons?!
Ending credits are removed all together, and overlayed with the footage near the end of the episode. RPM copycat!
Honestly, I wasn't much of a fan of the original series but as a kid back then, I was super fascinated with the super heroes and robotic dinosaurs concept though. Now that, we have all grown up, and looking back at the original series, I can't help but notice that the whole story-telling was super cheesy, and the editing was so terrible. Despite all the glaring faults, it worked during its time and transformed the genre/franchise into a global phenomenon!
Clearly, what worked 17 years ago will most probably not work today and the "remastering" made everything worse. Everything now is lamer than ever, and I sincerely hope that Disney isn't really trying to kill the franchise in this manner.
Update: Just found out that the episode count will only be 32 as well.
