It reads like a dream with objects spawning out of nowhere throughout - manhole cover is circular but the hole the magic ladder appears out of is rectangular 😂

You shared your thoughts and then I shared mine bouncing off yours - that's how conversation work

You've also commented on my thread, imagine my reply to you was the same as yours

Odd behaviour

A solid foundation is important and that foundation 9/10 is MMPR

Guarantee if you show a picture of a random Power Rangers series outside of MMPR the average person will say 'that LOOKS LIKE Power Rangers'

Energon Universe Adult Animated Series Based On Comic From Hasbro & Skybound With Joe Henderson As Showrunner Hitting TV Marketplace Energon Universe adult animated series from Hasbro and Skybound based on the comics with Joe Henderson as showrunner is being taken out to buyers.

It's at the end of this article

Also, I don't think it needs to be adult orientated, but needs better overall quality from the acting, story to the visuals which would result in something adults and kids can enjoy - TMNT is a good example

Lastly - take it from someone who has sat in meetings with execs and marketing trying to Market new characters in the Star Wars universe, you need a link to what's known globally before you can truly do something new. That's how the masses think unfortunately

I'm gonna go draw now ✌🏾

All this to say step outside your bubble, they want this to be loved by as many people as possible not JUST the fandom - My Mum had no idea Power Rangers was still on TV to get to 30 years, but she sure as shit remembers MMPR. They need to cast a wide net

I get the fatigue you feel, but if the poster child for the brand doesn't perform there's zero chance of getting to your personal favourite series

If you are a fan of the brand you should support it (if it's good quality, looking at you Ninja Kidz)...

Do you really think if the global face of the brand (MMPR), not just to fans but to the layman under performs they'll say 'well, maybe we should try a Power Rangers series that ISN'T known worldwide'??

With the official news of the new Rangers series, it proves the fandom aren't the brightest bunch - a few 'if it's MMPR again I hope it fails' sentiments

Say it is MMPR or MMPR adjacent and it does fail because you're trying to prove some point what do you think happens next?...

Thanks, and It makes sense - everything I do is intentional. The previous design fit the narrative I had in my head at the time, which was very Beetleborgs silly slap stick. This design would take it in another direction, playing it a little more straight

Trigger is a big influence, nice eye catching that

instead of sharing the power rangers ai nonsense, share some dope artist made projects instead like this one!!

✨ASTRAL FORCE✨ is worth following👀

(follow me i’m making a webtoon soon😉)

I've designed the Beetleborgs before, but wanted to tackle a more "faithful" design with it being spooky season

May do a pose sheet next and the other two borgs

Rather then share that ai ranger slop everyone is rightfully ragging on, think I'll share this amazing Ranger cartoon. Stellar art and amazing sense of timing.

Someone on the team decided gen ai was the way to go for certain things, so it's hard to feel sorry for them - they know it's a way to cut costs and corners

All I know for certain was the effort from costuming was genuine from Toku Jay through to Parallel studios. I feel bad for them

Deserved for their use of gen ai - it's good that fans are calling them out.

This isn't the way forward and I feel sorry for the genuine effort from the team behind the costumes

Real human art > ai slop
