PR News 06/06/08 - Bye Bye Bruce?
I've just been informed that Aaron Stone was picked up and Bruce Kalish will be the EP of it. Based on an earlier tip that this would be Bruce's last year and the fact that his contract was up this year, I'm 90% sure, he won't be back next year.
The bad news is that Jackie might be leaving too. |

You might be right Kane. Perhaps a a crew of fresh writer's is what we've needed for awhile now. But with Jackie leaving, that's like history going with her. She's been apart of the crew wince the MMPR days.

If this is true, then... PR 2009 is gonna be a HUGE mess. |
this is a damn shame. she has been there since zeo though. although she left after tf i think. then came back.
|
To me, the true strength of the Saban era was Judd Lynn.
I haven't been very impressed with Jackie's solo work during her Disney days. But yes, PR needs fresh blood. Reviving blood..badly. For better or worse, PR needs change. PR needs Obama. |
normally when shows get a new set of writers for a show that has lasted a while the first couple of episodes are usually not that great, but that is because the new writers will be experimenting until this show has found a solid story line
|
Thats true. But PR changes it's storyline every year when you think about it.
Experimentation may be good as long as it takes us into original territory away from the Sentai version. A carbon copy of Goonger in the US would be a disaster. |
Take the scab writer's for instance. They all seem to have put their own style on JF(judging by the episode descriptions).

but as soon as the series is to close to the super sentai senati story line it becomes dull and tiresome. |
I disagree.
It just depends on the sentai story they are copying. TR had an amazing story and TF turned out great. Whereas Goonger has no story at all, so that isnt a good sign for PR. |
Well of the 7 Generations Disney will have produced counting RPM , Dino Thunder is by far the worst as far as being written wise anyway. Just finished Dino Thunder this morning too. They could hve done so much with it. I've enjoyed Power Rangers dating back to Space Patrol Delta which for 4 years in a row through Jungle Fury was very well written. RPM is starting to make me nervous. After 2009 I'll run out of Power Rangers episodes so I hope RPM turns out OK or we're in trouble.
Over the next two years I'm watching Mighty Morphin to Wild Force. After RPM starts next year I'll have to wait and see. |
Is it me or does it seem that Toei is purposely making Super Sentai more difficult to adapt for the Power Rangers series?

As for Bruce aparently leaving the show? Well I think its time for new blood. I think the show needs a shake up. It would be sad to see Jackie go though. I always hoped she'd be the one to take over for Bruce. The problem is the next exec might not have a background in PR either. And may just do what Disney tells him to do. At the end of the day they are the ones that choose the direction for PR. So things might not even change with Bruce gone. Losing Jackie could hurt the franchise. |
Update
Poweranimals has confirmed on RB that Bruce is 100% gone next year.
Hopefully he can get down here when he has the chance and share what else he found today. |
Who said I found anything else out? Actually it does look like they're staying in New Zealand.
|
Hey PA what's the episode count of Jungle Fury? Are we still only getting 32 ?
And will the team up be with Phant Swoop and Finn and NOT NS or OO ? |
Quote:
The NS team up rumor looks to not be happening. I think its pretty safe to say we are not getting any team ups besides the Spirit Ranger thing. |
That's good news. Adding NS or OO would just ruin an otherwise great season.
|
I think an NS/JF team up would have been awesome. But its not happening, so I guess it doesn't matter now. In hindsight we probably should have kept the NS/JF news quiet until we knew NS was confirmed. Since it hurts PA's credibilty ( not in my eyes). But its too late to go back now.
|
Why is everyone all for a NS teamup? NS was a joke!

This brings several questions to mind.
#1. It was done in Dino Thunder, why do it again? Oh yeah, Ninja School. But if that's the case where was the JF school during the NS season? Bringing us to: #2. In OO it was told that Adam had established a dojo in Angel Grove. So why not team-up with him? Bringing us to: #3. A team-up with as many Saban Rangers as possible. See #2. The other reason why. Ahem. "10,000 years ago Rita Repulsa was imprisoned in a space dumpster." Okay now this. "10,000 years ago Dai Shi was imprisoned in a stone box." So........ --- Both existed 10,000 years ago and were imprisoned. Perhaps Dai Shi turned Rita Evil? Hmm... --- Now logically a team-up between Jungle Fury & previous Saban Rangers would make since via the Adam dojo mention. The timelines of both said characters make this a better idea for a team-up. Here's hoping Disney actually caught that storyline within the show. It was the First episode of both the MMPR & JF series that mentioned a 10,000 year imprisonment. C'mon Disney, it's right there! Use the tie-in!! Please. Also: It has been rumored that Hannah Montana will guest star on an episode of JF. The JF Rangers will attend a concert. Before anyone bursts into flames, please keep in mind that this is not the first time this has happened. I.E. Wild Force: Alyssa's father was played by Branscombe Richmond from t.v.'s Renegade. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0725079/ Time Force: Mr Collins (Edward Albert) was a soap opera (Port Charles) actor before becoming a character on the show. http://www.filmreference.com/film/99/Edward-Albert.html & http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001902/ Here's my theory how the HM PR episode could work. ----- The Jungle Fury Rangers have suffered a great loss at the hands of Dai Shi. Their Dojo/Pizza Place destroyed, they give up hope. But RJ speaks of "Mighty Warriors of Power" who once fought a great evil. Thus they take a trip to Angel Grove. Add in Saban Rangers. Preferably those who fought Rita Repulsa. But Saban Rangers nonetheless. Dai Shi due to some tragic incident turned him into what he will later become in JF. It is explained that Dai Shi's heart turned evil as did Rita Repulsa's. Dai Shi, friend of Zedd, combined forces to rule the galaxy. Add a Rita-Zedd-Zedd-Rita-Rita-Dai Shi love triangle. Dai Shi tried to destroy the Tribunal of Magic. And together with a lovelorn Rita Repulsa & a then un-mutated Zedd, sought to destroy all that was good. Though in a great battle against good. Zordon, the Elders, & Sentinal Knight fought against them. Thus, Sentinel Knight was reduced to a spiritual state. Zordon was captured in a time warp. Rita was trapped in a space dumpster. Dai Shi was trapped in a stone box. Zedd, betrayed by Dai Shi, his body turned to what it was in the MMPR series. Zedd then left seeking a way to reverse his form. It is also mentioned in the story that Zedd and Rita had a son back in the Saban era. Master Vile took this son to the M-51 galaxy when the machine empire was destroyed. Using genetic manipulation he sped up the childs growth process. Thus explaining the "how" of Thrax's age in OO. Thrax being a child of evil resented Zordon's wave turning his parents good. Upon Master Vile's death, Thrax sought to destroy all good and....the Power Rangers. It didn't matter which Rangers, just the spirit of what they stand for. OO happened to become his target as they were the new ranger team that was assembled. But genetic alterations became his demise & why he was destroyed in OO's 2 parter. The Rangers of the past join together & team-up to fight Dai Shi, the last reminance of the old way. The reformed Rita & Zedd (CtD) also join the team to battle. Together they defeat Dai Shi. The Sentinel Knight using the Zeo Crystal's last bit of Power, returns a reformed Thrax to the open arms of Rita & Zedd. The episode ends as the Dojo/Pizza Place is being rebuilt. And the characters say goodbye and part ways. End episode and JF series. ----- This ties up so many plot holes from each of the series: MMPR & JF 10,000 year imprisonment of Rita Repulsa/Dai Shi. The Zeo Crystal. A REAL ending for Zeo. Mystic Force "Mystic Mother" story. Operations Overdrive "Thrax" story. *Keep in mind that Jason used Mighty Morphin' Power in "Forever Red". Tommy used Zeo Power in "Forever Red", yet Adam did not use Zeo Power in "Always A Chance" or "Once A Ranger", he used Mighty Morphin Power. Seeing as how this was done with Adam, using various Saban Era characters as Zeo Rangers is plausible.* And the Hannah Montana song in the episode could be "Start All Over" when the team comes together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgu6sUeAd0Q and "Bigger Than Us" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDcO...eature=related to end the episode. |

I don't see why having a team up with NS and DT disqualifies them doing another one with JF. It would have been cool to see it. And much more interesting then an OO team up, imo. But I must say, your idea for a Saban era/OO/JF team up is interesting and well thoughtout ( although its much harder to get Saban era Rangers then NS ones). I won't despute that it would be a very interesting episode. But I don't see them going to that great lengths to tie together those plotholes. However cool it would be. And at this point its impossible. Since JF scripts are complete, if production isn't done itself. |

I can see why you'd say No. Please realize that this story came to my mind based upon a past post by PA. In no way does it have to include Hannah Montana. If that's what your "No" is about. But if Disney decides to add her it would still work.
Without the HM storyline, it could just be his niece(some random actress) and all can be resolved as normal. |

I do have a question regarding episode amount: who is responsible for making a decrease in PR episodes? It's not Bruce is it?
|
No. It's Disney.
