MMPR Season 4
 

How would you do an MMPR season 4?

I would have Lord Zedd and Rita use the Zep Crystal to get more powerful. The Alien Rangers would come back to help but would need too leave due to hydration. The Rangers would go to find me more powerful power coins oroginally made from the Zeo Crystal. . Which would allow them to morph with the same MMPR costumes. Kat would try to betray the team and get replaced by Kimberly. Kat would openly join the villains as a Scorpina like villain. The new powers would allow Zordon and Alpha to make new Zords. Later on Jason would join as the new Gold Ranger.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I would think the Zeo Crystal would become the source for the new MMPR Powers and not fall in evil's hands. But you did say the new coins would have been created fro. the Crystal. I also don't see Kat going evil unless it was due to another evil spell. Kim wasn't coming back until the movie. You could have had the Machine Empire as the new villains with Zedd and Rita trying to regain power . Jason as Gold later in the season would have been cool.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I could see something like that happening too. No evil Kat stuff though

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I would end the season with Jason coming back as Gold and leading the team.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I would have Jason get an evil spell went on him to make him fight his former friends. Until he gets free and joins the team.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I would slowly bring back the original Rangers who left.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I think the power coins wouldn't have been destroyed if they knew there was a season 4 with the suits. The powers would have been drainee instead. And enfused with the Zeo Crystal Power for season 4.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

They would probably still retire Billy or another Ranger since there would only be five zords.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

Keep the old costumes

I like the Zeo Crystal energizing the coin thing.

Keep Zedd and Rkta as the main villains and the Machine Empire as secondary antagonistss.

Tommy takes Rocky's place as Red. Jason comes back as Gold Ranger.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I don't really feel the need for a season 4. It was time for PR to move on.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I'd bring the original cast back (minus Amy Jo) and make their characters become Zeo Rangers:
Kat (Pink)
Trini (Yellow)
Billy (Blue)
Zack (Green)
Jason (Red)
Tommy (Gold -- but later on)

Then, instead of making that ridiculously short and old-Billy focused Zeo/MMAR Team-up, I'd still have AJJ come back as Kimberly for a two-parter as MMPR Pink. Her damaged Dino Coin would be repaired by Ninjor (who would make a cameo appearance) and be temp.-powered by the Zeo Crystal, like Tommy was by Zordon. It would have worked story-wise and would at least lead up to a mutual break-up between Kim and Tommy. Plus it would be a mini-MMPR/Zeo team-up at the start of the second half of the season.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

It would have been exactly like Zeo but with the MMPR Suits and spliced with Ohranger footage.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

Tommy leaves to find the other half of his Arrowhead. Rocky decides to go with him. Jason becomes Red Ranger. Zack and Trini become White and Yellow. Brad Hawkins plays the new Gold Ranger later in the season.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I think Lord Zedd and Rita would still be the villians. The Rangers would get new power coins made from the Zeo Crystal. And new Zeo Zords. Their MMPR uniflrms would be thr same like in season 3. I could see Tommy endint up going Gold latsr on.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

The best thing about MMPR season 4 would be all the original footage. .

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

MMPR went on two years too far. It was far from perfect but at least thdy finally got the idea of going to different series like Super Sentai.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

That would have been awesome. Kimberly should have been brought back permanently though.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I don't think Zeo was all that different from MMPR besides the costumes and villains.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

MMPR season 4 never would have been as great as Zeo. Especially without the Machine Empire.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

The OhRanger mecha wouldn't exactly work, color scheme-wise. The Lion Thunderzord might have worked as Black Ranger's Zord in the second season, but how would anyone explain why does the Black Ranger pilot a green-colored Super Zeo Zord?

Zyuranger color scheme: Green/Black/Pink/Blue/Yellow/Red
Ohranger color scheme: Pink/Yellow/Blue/Green/Red/Gold

Replace Gold with White and you've got the Dairanger color scheme.

Zeo Zord IV - would not pass as Black Ranger's Zord.
Super Zeo Zord IV - would not pass as Black Ranger's Zord.
Lion Thunderzord - was less green and could pass as Black Ranger's Zord. Even though the Thunder Megazord's chest area was green instead of black. Saban got lucky with MMPR S2, but he would have to get Toei to re-film the Ohranger Zord Mecha to replace the colors of OhGreen's/Zeo Ranger IV's Zords to black. Plus they would have to swap the green ranger's costume with a back-clored version of it. Which would have meant more original footage work for both Toei and Saban. It was time to move on from the Zyu/Dai/Kaku stuff. Saban was right to ditch the Mighty Morphin' prefix in the show's title. It was less expensive to produce the season. Plus it's easier to have your actor just change his black T-shirt with a green one.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I agree with Miki the mecha footage just wouldn't fit.

Saban got lucky with the Dairanger footage since while the "Lion" was a green zord in the footage it had enough black coloring to it to make it a black zord but you couldn't do that with the Ohranger mecha.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

Saban got amazingly lucky with Dairanger and Kukuranger it seems.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I could still see it working. The suits are what matter not the color of the zords.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I wonder if this factored into their decision to change to Zeo. I know there were many other reasons but it could have been part of it.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

that they did

wrong you still have to match the Ranger color to the zord granted Pink zords are never all pink they're mostly white but that's an exception to the rule. Are you seriously telling me that you'd be fine with say a White Ranger controlling a red Tyrannosaurus when it is clearly meant for a Red Ranger? or a Blue Ranger controlling a Yellow zord? if you are then you need to explore yourself and think about how little sense that makes.

probably but I think it was also because they wanted to get back to using more Sentai footage.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

Saving money with more Sentai Footage was a big part of it. But the fact ratings and toy sales were declining made them want to freshen things up. With the hope it would spike the numbers. Of course Zeo failed to do that and things didn't stablize until Turbo.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I think fans would have overlooked the zords being a different color if it meant having the classic suits still around.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

Saban Entertainment was smart to use more Sentai Footage. Even if it wasn't a perfect adaption of Sentai. It did lead to the heavily Sentai based seasons like Lightspeed and Time Force.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

The zord issue wwpuld have been too mucn afterawhile. There is no way they could have used the same suits for much longer. Especially if the budget was an issue.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

no doubt even if you don't consider the mecha issues being an issue the budget would be since they would either be re-shooting the fights or doing a Lipsyncher hack job with them since if they don't have the related monster suit then you can't re-shoot it so you have to do a splicing job.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I don't think the success of the show was all about the suits anyway. The Zeo suits were pretty cool. With al the power and cast changes, it made sense to change the suits.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

Right, the decision to move to Zeo was the right one. Zeo endee up being the best season in the show's history. Its just a shame they couldn't have gotten a few more seasons out of Zeo. I am sure the ratings and toy sales would have went back up once people realized hlw great Zeo was.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

Zeo was a great season.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

I think the change over to Zeo was necessary. Zeo still wasn't good enough, but it was better than MMPR.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

The suits just wouldn't match with the zords. And I think they just didn't want to go to the trouble of splicing the footage like they had to in season 2 and 3. I can't blame them due to the cost and time it took.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

MMPR lasted long enough. Especially with toy sales and mercH down. It was time for a cheaper alternative.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

It ia cool to think about though. Zeo's story with MMPR suits seems like they way it would have went.

Re: MMPR Season 4
 

But do we really need the MMPR suits to tell Zeo's story? They did a good enough job with the Ohranger Footage. Why unnecessarily shoot new scenes with the old suits? Especially when it was felt the show needed something fresh?
