Default Re: Power Rangers fans and fan films

Why do people hate fan films?

Well to quote Shamus Kelly of Dan's toku rants.

1: People, by and large, do not want to watch fan films.

Especially in the Toku fandom. There are some wonderful people who really appreciate how much it takes to make a fan film and are willing to accept any shortcomings in them. But most? If it isn’t as good as the show they don’t care.

It would be one thing if we didn’t have any currently airing series and fan films were the only thing fans could turn to but we not only have Power Rangers but a myriad of Toku available online both new and old. Why would someone bother watching something pretending to be their favorite show when they could just watch the show itself?

Keep this in mind, many fan films of Batman and mainstream comic heroes that have huge fandoms get over looked and receive little attention. This means your toku fan film has little to no chance of breaking out into mainstream success.
