PR News 04/01/08 Power Rangers Jungle Fury will TEAMUP with... - Page 3

Knightfall · 04/06/08, 12:08 PM

Well to be fair, Thunder Storm kept it in the house with the Sloan series and I thought the Marah/Kapri nonsense dragged the ep down a bit.

Once A Ranger barely had any Tori focus, not that I'm complaining.

An OO/JF would have had more potential though.

I feel like NS is charted territory now, but I suppose if this is the last season in NZ, at least there won't be NS anymore.

RangerKing · 04/06/08, 12:18 PM

I'm not too sure about that. With the exception of Sally Martin, everyone in Once A Ranger were flown to New Zealand. This is the case with the S.P.D.-Dino Thunder team-up as well where all four actors needed were flown. So there isn't any problem with flying actors.

Knightfall · 04/06/08, 12:21 PM

Yeah, but that was before the budget was slashed and the cost of filming in NZ went up.

I'm sure the real reason they avoided the OO teamup this year was paying to fly the cast back to NZ (especially since two are in the UK).

Pua, Glenn and Sally are all locals.

True, the entire Ninja Storm cast was either Kiwi or Aussie. But I don't think that the budget was really as slashed as people are made to believe otherwise why do international casting?

Knightfall · 04/06/08, 04:05 PM

There was no international casting this year. Everyone is from Australia.

Correct, but budget rumors surfaced during S.P.D. so it logically wouldn't make sense after last year's team-up.

Because we saw Kamdor was able to escape the amulet and so Miratrix didn't have even a remotely permament fate.

Well, aside from her ninja abilities, Miratrix appeared to be, more or less, a human. Just because Kamdor was able to get free does not necessarily mean Miratrix could. Additionally, being a human, it's unlikely that Miratrix would have survived the explosion better than any other human would.

I'm glad that they're not doing an Overdrive team-up. Overdrive was, honestly, the worst Disney season, if not the worst PR season, to date. I found no redeeming quality in the series, aside from Spencer (who was mostly dropped mid-season) and the Once a Ranger team-up. Definitely not worth having wasted 16 hours on. It had terrible acting and terrible writing. Add in Dax, Ronnie, Norg, Moltor, Flurious, Sentinel Knight, Kamdor, the *cringe* Fear Cats, Miratrix, and Tyzonne, and you've got a PR series worse than any I can think of. So, yeah, thank whatever deity you believe in that Overdrive isn't returning to ruin what has thus far proved to be a much better series. The best part of Overdrive was the end. Not the ending, the fact that it's over. I just want to forget that that season ever happened, and remember only Boukenger.

Additionally, I actually really liked Ninja Storm. It was a nice balance of comedy, fun characters, and cool powers. The theme of this series, as has been stated, fits along the same lines as NS, so it's a good choice to team the two up. Even if it sucks, it's bound to be better than the alternative we would otherwise have gotten.

diseny get some footage from gekiranger 's hong kong battle movie

Quite frankly some of the most evil of villains in the end were just simply human...Master Org, Lothor, Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd...albeit with some help. Kamdor, remember, wasn't able to simply remove himself from the amulet without help and therefore the same rule should apply to Miratrix, if the amulet isn't destroyed.

Thank you.

That reticulating laser thingy seemed hard to come by when Will swiped it, and if I remember right it got trashed right after Kamdor was freed. So it's not like we're just waiting for some hapless fool to find a necklace, see a hot chick inside, and rub it for three wishes.
