Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

personally I don't think things would've been that different we just wouldn't have the Tommy character in the show so there would've been no preferences to his past.

exactly it was part of the agreement. It was JDF's decision and had nothing to do with Disney or how much money they were paying him.

I think the differences between FR Tommy and DT Oliver are more just the fact they were done by largely different production teams. But they both are still very much in continuity.

no doubt about that and I'm definitely glad he came back it worked out good not to mention I thought they did the best they could with the video diary and I thought "Fighting Spirit" was pretty good minus the errors with the Green Ranger's costume

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

Its understandable, since they had to remake the suit from scratch. Which is a pretty commendable effort for them.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

I don't see how you can complain about them bringing Tommy back. When so many people demanded references to continuity for years before it. Aside from "Forever Red", it was the most the series did to honor it's past in several seasons.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

It was also coming off a time when people were put off by the production change and move to new zealand. And all the growing pains that entailed. People also didn't like the Urban Legend comment from Tori. DT showed everyone that Power Rangers was still connected.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

They went in the wrong direction and should have continued Ninja Storm as its own series. Instead of trying to re-live the glory of a past character who peaked a decade prior. People would have rather have had Shane ,Tori, and Dustin back.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

On the contrary, I couldn't wait for them to be written off the show or to complete their runs . They were annoying and stupid. The worst Rangers ever.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

I never believed PR was an urban legend in Ninja Storm

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne

Tommy was for the best. Payne may habe been ok. But he wouldn't have been the same as Tommy. I think the series needed the jolt of continuity after all the changes under Disney and its more standalone nature after Space/Galaxy.
