What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

Was he going to be revealed to be the same one from Wild Force?
Have no clue what happened in the forum during 2009 ( I left shortly
after jungle fury) someone fill me in.

What you saw was essentially the original plan, as far as we know.

He was never meant to be the same Venjix.

The only way it would have made sense is if Dr. K used a piece of recovered alien technology to make Venjix and it took its own name. Kind of would have been neat to see that connection in the end, just to clear Dr. K's guilt if she found out she never had control of Venjix it was always evil and alive.

Kind of would have changed a lot of things to have this final season that was seemingly totally unconnected to the past series suddenly turn out to be driven entirely by something from the past.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

It's simple. The Venjix from Wild Force is the Venjix from RPM but the one loyal to the Machine Empire is older than the one in RPM. After RPM, Venjix, being inside Scott's Morpher, has access to the Morphing Grid. Now hear me out. Using the grid, after some time, he is able to manifest a body from a dormant power, shadowborg. When he does this part of Shadowborg's personality merges with Venjix but only a little. Venjix realizes he cannot fulfill his plan of domination without an army. He figures that time travel is his best answer. He knows from his memory banks that the Machine Empire was one of the Largest Armies to ever exist in history and decides to join them in the past. Thusly I have created many different parodoxes and confused even myself. You're welcome for this horrible Fanfic!

All of this.

But, the later confirmation that RPM is set in an alternate dimension makes the idea of having two notable machine entities share a name just as good. Basically, they're still the same character, just existing in parallel realities, no different than Turtles Forever

A pissed off virtual pet who looks like a cute animated bunny gif who's obsessed with Burt Lancaster movies named Nathaniel Not Very Nice, and his physical form would have been based on Bomper.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

I believe the alternate dimensions was originally intended by Guzelian and Tellegen in the interview archives. It was just conveniently adapted by Lynn after he replaced Guzelian and Tzachor in COTRR

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

That actually sounds pretty good.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

I was pretty dissapointed when Venjix turned out to be a new character. It would have been so cook if it was the same Venjix. If it had to be a au he could have been a parallel version..

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

I was disapointed that they didn't use the same Venjix at first. But it worked out anyway. Especially after we found out RPM was an AU.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

If Amit was in charge, I think Venjix would have been there same.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

Who is Amit? I have seen you bring him up a lot?

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

pretty much this. Venjix was just going to be what you saw. The only major difference that we might've seen (if it got through the Disney censors) was that Venjix would actually be controlling Dillon as a machine in the end and would actually be one of the villains in the end if I recall correctly. Based on what I recall everything memory-wise Dillon given was going to be a fake memory so there were no plans to re-do the whole Astronema/Andros storyline with him and Tenaya.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

He was a story editor during Power Rangers Wild Force and also wrote both teamups. He came back to do some job in Samurai and wrote at least 2 episodes but not sure if he quit or was fired.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

He was a superfan that ran Power Rangers Online Archives while.he went to film school. He had ties with some of the cast and crew at the time. He ended upnas the story editor for Wild Force.

Due to Disney shutting down MMPR productions, Amit got laid off. Before that he laid out an outline for a verison of Ninja Storm that would have invovled the return of several old Rangers. Most former teams being part of a orginziation led by Tommy. The Wind Ranger would have worked for Hexagon. Jason and the Thunders would have led a faction of Rangers that was against Hexagon. But this was all scrapped when the new production team took over.

When Saban Brands took over again Amit came back as a consultant for Samurai. He wrote a rough outline that was never used, as well as a rejected one for another possible season. He left the show again after Samurai.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

Didn't he write "Forever Red"?

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

yup that he did and also wrote "Reinforcements From The Future"

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

My whole thing with Amit is he seems to think that because he wrote for the show that his ideas that didn't make it are still more legitimate then other peoples ideas.

Like the fact that he thinks Scorpion Rain is cannon because of Forever Red or that his idea for a Go Buster adaptation only didn't happen because Saban skipped Go Buster.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

yea he does have a pretty big head that's for sure granted some of his ideas were definitely good but other ideas weren't that good.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

Indeed I think the stuff he wrote is pretty good I just don't think it means his other stuff happened even iuf he thinks it does.

On the subject of Venjix I don't know what the original idea was but sometimes I like to imagine maybe RPM was actually a prequel that took place on another planet a long time ago about the origins of the Machine Empire.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

Maybe some Venjix machines escape to the past of the regular pru?

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

I was very surprised when the two Venjix's weren't the same. It seemed like such an obvious connection to make. But "Doctor K" and the whole au angle makes that not possible.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

Wow surprised my thread got bumped! But not complaining lol.

I like how Amit planned to merge RPM into the PRU in his treatment for that Sentai they skipped.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

It is weird that Eddie picked that name and made it totally unrelated to the original Venjix. There has to be people like Jackie that knew better even if he didn't make the connection.

Re: What was the original plan for venjix in rpm?
 

Perhaps the new Venjix was inspired by the old. Once it was decided that RPM would be its own world, similar names no longer mattered.
