Well if it's true or fake I am sure hasbro and/or toei would comment on it soon. Or heck chip or even simon.

It's definitely fake! Found more posts on Facebook proving it.

Someone on Facebook said that that news is truly fake news! Completely made up! How credible is that 'someone'? Because the Illuminerdi have been right more times than wrong, they've called virtually every major surprise in Ninja Steel and Beast Morphers, as well as correctly called which Sentai would be adapted next. I'll take their word over some armchair contrarian nobody on social media who's in no position to know what the hell he or she is talking about. Anyhoo, more information on Saturday, this isn't going away no matter how many people on Facebook want it to

I can't can't see hasbro ending ties with toei. That makes no dam sense. Plenty of creative and business decisions "make no sense" to casuals who have no real experience as a suit. Here's George Junior's hot take on why this isn't the end of the world and why it may be a necessity to evolve the brand

Still I rather have real info vs rumors. As sure they did hit some news on pr as of late. But I honestly can't see hasbro. To end live action show when we are on the eve of 30th anniversary. Doesn't make a lot of sense there. I but who knows maybe they will continue and just want to do own stuff. But it's all on costs on what what. So hopefully either toei or hasbro makes some sort of comment soon.

Doesn't make a lot of sense there Like I said, you're not a suit, so you don't know what does or doesn't 'make sense' in business. Disney were willing to throw in the towel twice on Power Rangers, once almost as soon as they got it, and the second with Jungle Fury, they had to be persuaded on both occasions to carry on with the franchise. By the time 2010 rolled along, they didn't commission a new series and stuck with disastrous remastered reruns until Saban came calling. By your logic, did it 'make sense' for Disney to give up on the brand like that? Did it 'make sense' for Saban to sell the franchise to Hasbro rather than aggressively pursue the option of the Shattered Grid television spin-off? Until you're in those offices and you're seeing with a clear eye what the bottom line is, you can't decide what does or doesn't 'make sense' in buisness, your role is as an armchair analyst, taking a step back from the reality of how things are handled inside because you, the consumer, are what's affected on the outside. I'm just being real here. Tough calls are made everyday for the sake of branding, and Hasbro may have made a call that gives the PR branding more of a chance in this evolving world. Some of the old ways may not be working for them.

I love to see Hasbro mix in Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger VS Lupinranger VS Patranger movie as an intro to unmasked Power Rangers version of Lupinranger, Patranger, & Lupin/Patren X that leads to the next series after Dino Fury.

So here's Bruno's take on the rumours.
For anyone thinking this nips it in the bud, think again, at one point he says he 'heard this was debunked' when it's likely those disinformation geeks on social media, who aren't privy to anything, have spread to his ears. He also does NOT rule out that this could be happening and makes fairly speculative points himself, he states he prefers to wait on something official. He doesn't appear to be aware the Illuminerdi will have more information tomorrow on the shake-ups either.

Z I know I am not the suits or corporate guys but I been in and around and know folks in the biz. And I know for most it's all about what is most cost effective and what makes them the most money. But honestly I still can't see hasbro buying the show and only doing 3 seasons of the show. And stop having a live action show as that is where there main demo is for and for the current shows toy merchandise line. Vs us older fans are for the comics and the higher end toy line stuff. Again hopefully we will get anything from hasbro or from chip or Simon on future of show.
I personally hope show will continue with or without toei. Would be cool to have fully original show. But would hasbro want to sink in all the costs of that. Vs buying footage and props and shooting the minimum needed original stuff. As we know a 40 episode 2 seasons in nz has cost roughly 20 to 30 million dollars a series so roughly probably 500k to 700k a episode give or take. Now I don't know how much toei drops to film and make a season in us dollar.
But in end I hope we continue with show with or without toei, have the various comic and toy lines and also have a Co current film series to play with. So hasbro can make more bang for there buck. So they get the young kids, the older fans and the casual fan all.

i agree we all should just cool off. Is the news real is it fake we wont know for sure to we have official word. Again hopefully we will get news one way or other. And like i said above i hope live action show continues. It would be sad to see live action show gone or go on a break for a time. When we are so close to anniversary year and all.

So quit snapping at me! "Might" have connections doesn't give him much superiority over the people breaking the news who have clearly demonstrated they DO have connections...unless he's involved somehow in journalism, he's a guy with clearly more to prove than the Illuminerdi do, who have been accurate with multiple scoops in the past.
