Well everyone, it's official. The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers are returning in 2010! Bandai released a statement that said that the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers will be returning in 2010 on ABC Kids and on toy shelves! Fans like myself are extremely excited about this! I have no idea why Disney is doing this, but my guess is that Disney wants to introduce the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers to the new generation of kids. This could also be a test to see if kids start to watch this, then there is perhaps a chance that maybe, just maybe that Disney will produce a new season after the MMPR remastered.
Now, MMPR is being remastered. That means that it could get new music since Saban still owns all the old music. And considering that the FCC is stupid, some scenes like buildings exploding and other violence will be edited out. All in all, I am very happy about this regardless of the music or the FCC being stupid and editing out stuff they think is violent.
I've heard they brought back MMPR because the latest Super Sentai featured traditional Japanese culture prominently, making it unsuitable for North American audiences.
ReplyDeleteThat is so untrue! There is nothing wrong with Shinkenger! It is not the reason why MMPR is re-airing! It's because recently, Disney has wanted to cancel the show since Jungle Fury...ratings have been down, no one has been buying toys or watching the show as much. Whoever told you that is an idiot. Hurricanger made it to US with no problems!
ReplyDeleteBesides, kids love Japanese things! If Shinkenger made it over here, it probably would've been a hit!
