Power Rangers (1993-)

Power Rangers Samurai est la dix-huitième saison des Power Rangers, adaptée du super sentai Samurai Sentai Shinkenger et diffusée en 2011.

Des siècles auparavant, des Samouraïs ont réussi à vaincre les forces du mal. Afin de prévenir leur retour, ils ont entraîné d'autres guerriers pendant des générations et se sont transmis les fameux Zords. Attendant le Ranger rouge, les quatre descendants de ces fameux guerriers se sont réunis et ont ainsi formé les Power Rangers Samurai. En plus de manier l'épée, ceux-ci savent aussi utiliser la force des éléments : la terre, le feu, l'eau, le ciel et les forêts.

La nouvelle génération de Power Rangers doit maîtriser les mystiques et anciens « symboles de puissance Samouraïs », qui leur donnent un contrôle sur les éléments du feu, de l'eau, du ciel, de la forêt, de la terre et de la lumière. Sous la direction de leur mentor omniscient, Ji, et à l'aide de leurs Zords, les Power Rangers Samurai affrontent les forces sombres de l'enfer et un guerrier mystérieux qui aspire à la destruction.

Aidés par leurs Zords, lorsque les Nighlok sont en mode Mégamonstre, les Rangers sont capables de fusionner les Zords du Lion, du Dragon, de l'Ours, du Singe et de la Tortue pour former le Mégazord Samouraï. Ils vont ainsi pouvoir combattre le seigneur Xandred et les forces du Monde d'en-bas. Seuls les cinq Power Rangers, dirigés par leur leader, le Ranger Samourai Rouge, pourront y faire face. Mais ils ne sont pas au bout de leurs surprises dans cette lutte contre le mal.

Power Rangers is getting a new American TV and movie treatment. Now that Hasbro owns the Power Rangers, there's talk of the toy giant dropping the Toei Super Sentai footage altogether. Um, that would be a HUGE mistake because American Power Rangers historically hasn't been too hot...

Boom Studios' Power Rangers Kickstarter has cleared over $500,000 and Twitter is whining about it as much as they did with BRZRKR. Some feel "big companies" like Boom shouldn't be allowed to use crowdfunding for comic book presales. Remember how the same people guilted Archie Comics off of Kickstarter in 2015? Never mind that Hollywood was using Kickstarter years before this and no one complained. It's just disgruntled COMICS people that are having a problem with it...

The Power Rangers have been a pop culture staple for decades. We all grew up with one version or another of our favorite Rangers. But did you know 3 of the original cast members were fired? That's right, they fired 3 of the original Power Rangers and replaced them after the first season.

The saga chronicling the history of Bulk and Skull, two hilarious average guys that started as just dumb bullies, but grew to be much more than that.
Also featuring fellow comedic characters: Lt. Stone, Professor Phenomenus, and Spike.

Austin St. John, the first Red Ranger on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, claims he's innocent of wire fraud charges and vows to fight the accusations. He's also back on the convention circuit as of this weekened. Weirdly, fellow MMPR star Jason David Frank threw some shade on St. John on TikTok...and then deleted the post. Hmm.
