In 2018, Hasbro bought Power Rangers from Saban. Then CEO Brian Goldner believed the franchise to have a lot of potential, seeing it as a brand with plenty of life and longevity.
Unfortunately, he was the only one at Hasbro that felt this way about the franchise, and with his untimely death came the seemingly untimely death of Power Rangers as we knew it.
Since then, the show has been taken off the air, the Lightning Collection line has been shelved, the rumored TV/Movie Reboot multiverse helmed by Brian Entwistle has been cancelled, the deal with Netflix to put new Power Rangers content on their streaming service has been reneged, 30+ years of props and costumes have been auctioned off, and the only things we have to look forward to in the foreseeable future is the Rita's Rewind game, the Boom! Comic series, and the Playmates toy line that will seemingly only pander to MMPR fans.
What do you think, at this point in time, the future of Power Rangers looks like? Do you think we will ever get a new season? A new Movie? Will the Lightning Collection come back? Will we continue to adapt Sentai, or are we past the point of no return and are going to go 100% American footage from here on out?
Personally, I hope Power Rangers comes back eventually, but I've also moved on to Super Sentai. I'll support the show should it come back, but I'm not holding my breath either.
