Awesome new PPG clip

It's not in the same universe though. Just because aspects of the original series can be found here does'nt mean the series is consistently set after anything. It does'nt even PRETEND it's in the same universe, with the weapons still being used, so really there's no way you can possibly justify it. What's wrong with just accepting it's a seperate timeline and series?

I'd personally settle just for a continuity that's true to the CN PPG originals, and not this petty wannabe rubbish, hell Bleedman's dojunishi is better written and more true to the characters than this

Tenchi uses the same characters and plot all the time, and he's had THREE different continuitys.

I suppose if we go by your logic, Transformers: Headmasters counts as G1 canon and two Cybertrons are co-existing with one another:rolleyes2:

As for Enterprise not using "Star Trek", you're wrong. The title was added in the third season, and Manny Coto had to work his ass off to make everything in Enterprise fit in to the Star Trek canon and justify it's existence so at the very least it ended with potential, instead of ending with noone caring about it.

Sometimes you just have to see things as telling the same story from different perspective.

I never said it wasn`t in a different universe. My point is that it is POSSIBLE for a franchise can go through drastic changes and still keep the sprit of what it originally branched off from. I`m seeing that with Digimon Savers as we speak.
The Savers look NOTHING like the wide eyes summer campers from season01, but yet they still have that spriti that drew people to the original series.

Transformers Galaxy Force isn`t in the same universe as the original but heck, I thought it was a brilliant effort to try and re-invent it..

Some people today hate the very idea ANY change, even if that change could potentially be positive. That why I like watching Power Rangers.

Yeah, well, both Godzilla and Ultraman have had better examples of change than PPGZ. Remember the outrage some fans had over Godzilla's design in G2000? I thought that was a very fresh new look for Godzilla, and the very spirit was there. You saw GODZILLA. Not some iguana or some "realistic" dinosaur. Likewise every new Ultraman, even Nexus.

Super Sentai hardly ever changes (and the Red Ranger, whether he's in charge or not, will always be the focal point, because when you think of Super Sentai, you always think of the red guy), except for more and more robots. Masked Rider hasn't changed for the better, IMHO (It's just the Metal Heroes under a different name; I think Toei really misses doing the Metal Heroes).

I'm guessing Hibiki gave you nightmares...:laugh:

...but yeah, I'll agree with you about Metal Heroes...Toei should go back to doing that.
 
If I hated the concept of change, I would'nt be watching Power Rangersm, or new versions of several shows like the new TMNT series...but they actually stay true to their concepts and format, which relativly hav'nt changed at all. The new TMNT still carries aspects of the original (Many in-jokes have appeared in it referencing both the cartoon and the Archie comics) and keeping close to the original comic roots

Hibiki was okay, for the first few episodes. Just like much of the new Rider shows, it was overkill when they added way too many Riders. Just like how Super Sentai adds more and more robots. They're going to run out of fresh ideas as things are, and they'll burn out eventually.

...but yeah, I'll agree with you about Metal Heroes...Toei should go back to doing that.

They really should.

I'm surprised you would say this after saying what you said on YouTube about B Fighter and Beetleborgs.

And yeah, Toei should bring back Metal Heroes series. Even my lovely little Poll of the Month says so!! Me? I'm not sure if I can be bothered with Kamen Rider Kabuto anymore.. so yeah, a new version of Gavan, Winspector, B Fighter or whatever could be a nice breath of fresh air for me..

EDIT: Oh yeah, Powerpuff Girls would make an awesome Metal Heroes series, now that we're Off Topic!! :P

Speaking of the flying scene, I didnt like it that much. It moved way too slow. Shouldnt they be flying faster? And the little colorful light beams didnt constantly trail them. They were only there for like 2 seconds then gone. Wish they had the light trails the entire time.

The shows ok though.

1. Actually, it was a hermaphrodite because its genes were asexual.

Weren't there two Godzillas in that movie? I thought they like killed one then a second one popped up.

Anywho I actually like GINO's design. >_> I thought he looked kickin. He didnt feel out of place in the Final Wars movie! That's for damned sure. Has anyone seen the new Doritos commercial featuring GINO? I thought that was a kick ass throw back. Made me want to see a new GINO movie.

It was okay, but it felt like you know...Rita threw her magic wand into Jurassic Park causing a T-Rex to..."GROW!!!"...even more.

Yeah, I saw that commercial. Anyway, there was supposed to be sequel but because the movie technically "bombed" (according to some anyway)...they discontinued the sequels. Just be greatful we end up getting a cartoon series on Fox Kids.
