>>9063492It seems like a huge wasted opportunity to not use the sequel movies as TV specials, mini series, or even a direct to video type thing. We'll never see the Ninja Storm one now, and RPM could have been a better way of wrapping up that series than within Beast Morphers. I like team-ups as much as the next guy, but I wish every return appearence didn't have to be framed within the confines of a team-up.
For instance if you want to MMPR wank give us a proper MMPR reunion. Show us what the characters are doing 25 years later, let them tie up a loose end (Lokar, Scorpina, Rito, and Master Vile could all seemingly be alive). They couldn't even do anything worthwhile with Jason in Beast Morphers. He just comes out of a random portal to get a coin he should have had in the first place, but was in a meteor which crashed on earth for some reason? He helps with the fight, but he could have been replaced with any other character and it wouldn't have made a difference. We don't learn anything about his life post "Forever Red", he just exists.
Tommy got some development in "Dimensions in Danger" via a wife, kid, and Master Morpher, but the only reason that even happened is because JDF had an idea of where his character should be 14 years after Dino Thunder and mandated it. Sadly it seems like Hasbro is looking to reboot and start from scratch instead of using the show's legacy to their advantage. Which is a weird disconnect considering they lean much more heavily into the legacy products versus than the current media. If the older stuff is what's selling why not attempt to do something more substantial with the older characters?
