…those are all characters from entertainment designed for children 🤦♂️ Set in fantasy worlds where being gay is easy. The first one you mentioned isn’t even a human being. Yikes.
Obviously in programming for grownups you’re going to have to address the challenges (or ‘angst’ as someone else put it) that this person has faced in our real, contemporary Earth society simply for being gay. But as soon as that happens you get people screaming “WOKE PANDERING” or “THEY’RE SHOVING IT DOWN MY THROAT.”

Sorry to disagree, but some shows for "grown ups"are so badly written that some fantasy cartoons, or any other type of cartoon that could have LGBT characters, can surpass them. Steven Universe, at least the first two seasons are pretty good. I don't think it's "Woke pandering" the fact with the deal of "angst" in current day era, but some shows seems to start wars just for menial things. That's the whole BS of tht Netflix series, Ginny and Georgia. I think, as a Latino, I watched the show, and when a character started to talk about race or something, I started to laugh uncontrolable. It's just....nobody talks like that. It's just so bad. There are animes that deal with depression, anxiety and angst. Sure, different culture, but they handled some things in a very meaningful way, and better than some "programming for grownups". Komi-san anime is sometimes, on the spot about people that's too shy and anxious to communicate with other people. Sure, it's just entertainment, and probably close to unreal a hot girl can't talk to other people, but it's pretty well told.

I don't know what Hasbro is trying to do with Power Rangers. There is no new series next year, at least?

I didn't want to believe it, but I knew I was right. With each passing day, my personal stance on the situation is becoming more true. That Hasbro didn't buy Power Rangers to push the franchise to new and greater heights, they only bought the franchise to use it's IP in a desperate attempt to be like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and with Entwisthle possibly gone, the massive cutbacks and cancellations from Netflix (another upcoming animated show got cancelled) and the growing fatigue towards the MCU, their plan completely fell apart. They basically turned their purchase into a lame duck. That's what they get for putting all their eggs in the MCU basket. I'd like to see those a-holes at Rangerboard tell me that adapting Sentai is STILL a bad idea now.

I wonder if they delayed revealing any information about w/e this is until Austin’s court case wraps up one way or another.

Just cause stuff wasn't revealed here. Doesn't mean we won't get news soon.

I really hope so. And I hope, at least it's an adaptation of some Sentai. I would love for some reunion...but you know. Not for now.

Ya just cause they didn't announce anything at this expo. Doesn't mean they can't announce something at a later expo. Another hasbro con thing. Or just come out with a press release. Look for example for marvel or DC when they skip out doing hall h at sdcc to just announce things at d23 or Fandome events.

Something that I have been thinking on for the last few months as of late is that Hasbro may be planning to announce projects the 30th season or other stuff at Power Morphicon later this year and/or on Power Rangers day itself. The thing I've notice with Hasbro is that they are taking similar approach that Marvel and DC does as Always just pointed up above and just hold off on any major updates til later points of the year instead of releasing information every few months like how Saban did. I remember back in the day as a kid to simpler times with no internet and what not and that the only thing you ever had on news of a new season was either in magazines or a new teaser dropping on TV. These days, people just want info upon info spoiler after spoiler as well as many sites out there that just spread around false info on the future of a show or movie just to get people to read their posts with no hard concrete reliable evidence as to what they were saying is true.

It's also entirely possible Hasbro doesn't have a solid plan for the future of PR.
The expo is to market your product to third parties who would be interested in it, which is why it's called Licensing Expo. If Hasbro had something they thought was worth showing, they would've shown it. Them not showing anything there is decent indicator that we're not getting what we're used to next year.

Well what ever 30th is we have heard it may not be a full series like 20 to 40 episodes. That it may be more of a mini series deal like alien rangers. But that we also don't know is that news true or not. I would worry more if we don't hear anything by end of aug. To have more concern. As we know what ever they are filming is likely to be start filming by the fall. And we know it is in some sort of casting stage.

This is interesting, but a rumor. There's a rumor that JDF (Tommy, MMPR Green, White, others) has not only officially announced his retirement from Power Rangers, but has joined Amy Jo Johnson in saying that the MMPR reunion ain't happening.

Would be cool for reunion but I doubt it would. As for him retiring I can't see it. And where was that rumor even posted. I would it it came from jdf official social media pages.
