Fun is Fun is Pacific Rim is Power Rangers
Brought to my attention by loyal henchperson Xavier, this is just one of those fun little videos that the Internet decided to grace us with. Internetter The Unusual Suspect in particular.
So when are we going to get that big screen, big budget live action Power Rangers movie? And I don’t mean The Power Rangers Movie, which was clearly tied into the TV show. I mean the serious, Transformers-esque re-imagining? Because I’m in if you guys are.
Mighty Morphin’ Power Fellowship, and Other Great Internet Stuff
My friend found the comedy videos of UnusualSuspect2013 today, and they simply have to be shared. I don’t know how someone could get the idea in their head to mash-up the Power Rangers with Lord of the Rings, but they do, and it’s brilliantly fun.
Not only that, but they made one for the Avengers and the A-Team as well!
I say more, UnusualSuspect2013! Make us more!
A few pressing questions about the Power Rangers, explained
Power Rangers RPM is the newest rendition of the franchise, now in its 20th year, and I haven’t been keeping up. In a recent episode, however, some interesting questions were explained. Why do the Zords have eyes? Why is there sometimes a six-story high explosion behind the characters when they morph? All shall be revealed.
For Blue Power Ranger Fans
Once again the Internet gives without us even having to ask. Animator Mike McCraw has decided to use his infinite talents to make short little bursts of wicked cool Power Rangers animations. Along with Blue, he’s also done Black and Pink (the sexy Rangers), both of which are really good. I don’t know why these exist, but it doesn’t really matter. They do exist, the Internet has housed them and now they are ours to enjoy.
Now he just needs to make one for the Green Ranger…
The Dark and Gritty Power Rangers
Because everything’s going dark and gritty these days.
Though honestly, that was kind of badass. I was a huge fan of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers when I was a kid, and I can still remember being picked on a little at school about it. The idea of a group of teenagers getting chosen to have great powers and fight evil spoke right to the superhero fan inside of me. I didn’t care that most of the episodes were repetitive or that there wasn’t much character depth, it was just a fun show.
And, of course, the Green Ranger was the absolute greatest.
Well apparently some group called Limitless Films is going to make a gritty Power Rangers web series! Or they want to. I dunno. But they definitely made the above trailer, and I think they did a damn fine job with it. I hope to see more of this project.
