Hollywood’s hunger to match movies with proven brands knows no bounds. Lionsgate has announced it will team with Saban Brands to revive the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the first of what it hopes will be many live action feature films.

Making live action films from 80s kids shows hasn't worked out so well for Hollywood. I guess the 90s are up next

 

 

Get your kids ready to be bombarded with non-stop merchandising.

Loved them growing up...but I don't see this working. It doesn't have the same appeal to those in their 20s (me) that other things like the Ninja Turtles still hold. I'd actually be damn near embarrassed to tell someone I was going to see a Power Rangers movie now. TMNT, Transformers, etc? Sure. 

 

 

Although Ps...fug Michael Bay

I don't know what to think of this. On one hand it would be nice to see the original costumes done with up to date technology. But how would the zords work? Would they be entirely different? or just a upgraded form of each one? original megazord? dragonzord? Both of which are iconic and if you touch them in any way you'll most likely have alot of people pissed. The dragonzord/ red t-rex zord are good as is. Changing the others to look better could be good, but if it messes up with the look of the megazord, then i dont want it.

 

Story wise...would they be normal teens given powers? if so would zordon be there? If no to both, it takes away what made the original run great. i can see bay making them former marines/fbi agents are something (like pacific rim), having to go through extensive testing by the goverment. Kinda like how astronaunts have to do tons of training to be able to go into space, but instead of a shuttle how to opperate a mechanical sabertooth tiger and get it to combine with the others.  Much rather have them be magical machines, realy no need to explain how they come back fixed after a long battle. (how the agency could afford to fix them etc)

 

Skeptical with this like i am the tmnt movie.

man I am so glad I was old enough to miss this

 

 

It came out when I had just stopped watching cartoons and mostly watched Saved By the Bell.   

 

My son found it on Netflix a few years ago and I begrudgingly watched several episodes with him. It was as horrible as I remembered.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
