Yeah, I was just thinking of Time Force Blue one. The Order has a prequel comic which might have come out, not sure, but it's looking unlikely the movie itself will come out because of very severe funding issues
Mark for White Dragon; Bat in the Sun have actually made stuff. Mostly short and low budget, sure but it's actually come out which is more than some proposed fan films (or whatever a production that has the actors but not official approval counts as). Mark against; it's got a pretty small portion of its goal and the first few days are very important for a kickstarter
That's never gonna happen.
The movies are always either gonna be a re-telling / adaptation of MMPR (Like the last one arguably is), or a unique "Movie Verse" take that may draw from the entire franchise but not be an adaptation of any of one them. The most one might get is a villain adapted from another season instead of Rita/Zedd who are the usual culprit. And odds are good that villain might just be an In Name Only thing.
Paramount and Hasbro are never gonna just randomly pick one of the 23 non-MMPR season (especially one of the lesser remembered ones) and just "Lets adapt that into movies". That's not how they roll.
BOOM! Studios Announces Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Team-up
I’m thinking the best thing for the film will be a Big Bad Duumvirate. Several villains interested in Earth (Let’s go with Zedd, Rita/Master Vile and Mondo) and they’re both fighting each other and the Rangers till a big final battle. Solves the villain angle.
Prolly not a great move for a first movie.
You need to set up each rangers, and that's 3 to 5 characters right there. You also need to set up the powers, any supporting figure/mentor. More than one villain who also have an intra villain conflict is alot for a first movie to handle with the limited runtime a movie has.
In a sequel where the rangers and powers are set up? For sure.

You may be right on that front.
If you want to go the usual Hasbro route (read - Michael Bay style) for an introduction, then the Machine Empire might be the best place to start. Lead off like Ohranger did with them invading the planet militarily and then Zordon has to recruit the five kids from detention.
That might be TOO busy for such a film though, with someone like Zedd or Rita stealthily gathering power easier to keep the setting confined and more intimate than Mondo trying to bomb Earth governments into submission.
Honestly, aside from the zord designs, I don’t think the 2017 reboot was anything like the Bayformers movies?
I hear it a lot, but like... Bay’s movies are very macho, very fast paced, any emotion other than “hardcore” gets tossed out the window, and full of explosions. The 2017 reboot was mostly sensitive, slower paced (until the final act), incredibly emotional, and had basically zero explosions until the zord fight.
It’s just a really odd comparison and I still don’t get it.

People want to compare the two, for no real reason, probably just because the designs of the ranger stuff is cluttered.
But the comparison really falls flat, because none of the Bayformers movies ever really come close to how down to earth the rangers feel in the movie. They're just stupid kids, in way over their heads, trying to figure out how to, you know, actually live their lives like not-insane people.
That scene around the campfire is adorable and you cannot change my mind.
Out of curiosity, have you guys heard any of Scyther Inc's Power Rangers Audio Drama's?
It's a You Tube Audio Drama series a guy put together. It's considerably darker and edgier, so be forewarned on that, but it's still very much Power Rangers and is rather unapologetic about it.
It's also got some crazy action.
The first installment has Goldar, Scorpina and The Putties throwing down with the military.
The main reason I'm bringing this up is because, honestly, listening to the first few of these? You could probably build a new movie off of them and it would be pretty dang good.
Would probably have to be rated R but it wouldn't take too many changes to dial it back to a PG-13.
Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?^^ Hard to say, proper lighting and clothes can have a slimming effect. I don't think he ever got particularly "fat" but seemed to be more Stout Strength. Shaving can also make someone look younger and thinner.
I just remembered about a power rangers series I watched when I was younger when the rangers around the universe were captured and its finale was a fight with 2 rangers of the same colour fighting their psycho ranger counterpart. Please,does anyone know the name?? It has been in my head for some time
Cowboys vs Samurai

I think that what gives Lo TWD a bit more confidence is that they do have a production house behind it. Big difference from The Order, which was just the actors starting from scrap and just finding all this production hassles.
