Re: Ranger Black
Oh please, RPM was not only a bad PR season, it was a failure. The ratings were terrible and the money spent on it was not justified. It was an afterthought by the time Saban Brands got on board and not the direction they wanted. Granted they lost there way for a time going back with the Tzachor approach. But they have smartened up by replacing him with Judd Lynn and a more original approach.

Re: Ranger Black
I really liked the concept for "Ranger Black" as well. Eddie's RPM was better than what we got in the second half. But I wouldn't say the second half was bad. And I agree, Judd did the best he could. I can't blame him for borrowing from Andros and Karone. There wasn't much time to come up with new story-lines and he had no idea what Eddie planned. You usually don't get to consult with the show-runner who was just let go. And if Disney wanted Eddie's RPM the rest of the way, he wouldn't have been fired.

Re: Ranger Black
The whole plot to the episode does seem a little much. I agree the finalie to RPM was a little weird. But "Ranger Black" wasn't the answer.

Re: Ranger Black
I think the episode would have went through a lot of changes if it was produced.

Re: Ranger Black
Ordinarily it would have. But it was a perfect storm since Disney was shutting the show down and DinoThundr would have been lame duck.

Re: Ranger Black
I really liked this concept. Maybe we can explore it in comic book form someday.

Re: Ranger Black
Disney was most hands off with RPM..So its not a stretch to believe "Ranger Black" would have happened if it weren't for Eddie's dismissal..Eddie already got away with killing Marcus and Andrews. Not to mention having a season in a post apocalyptic world where 90 percent of the Earth was killed off. Eddie just sunk himself by falling behind on the scripts. If it wasn't for that he would have got the episode produced.
I am not saying "Ranger Black is good. I think it would have been a terrible Power Rangers episode. And really Eddie's RPM was far overrated. |

Re: Ranger Black
I don't see what is so bad about the episode. It sounds like it would have been good actually.

Wild Force got away with killing Cole's Parents and Master Org granted Master Org was no longer a human once he was killed. There were no deaths in Ninja Storm but we saw the spirits of Hunter and Blake's dead Parents. No deaths in Dino Thunder BUT Trent had mentioned how he had lost his Parents in a cave-in. No on-screen deaths but Cruger mentioned how most of his kind were destroyed when Gruumm had attacked his planet. No on-screen deaths but Niella lost her life during the Great Battle and presumably so did the other wizards. Tyzonn had mentioned how most of his original team were lost due to a cave-in. Master Mao was killed on-screen. |
