Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Other children's brands have adult fan followings that don't seem to come with stigmas. But PR seems to have this stigma like its somehow strange to be be a pr fan.

It really is hypocritical since a lot of these franchises have the same tone.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Probably because for us born in the 80s a lot of those earlier franchises grew up with many of our peers. Power Rangers is from the 90s and really was for the millennials.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

But a lot of that age group are grown up too. So that shouldn't be an issue.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

I don't let other people's opinions effect my enjoyment of the show.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Niether do I but its still an interesting question to discuss.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

It is kind of silly that a franchise like Transformers would be considered above Power Rangers.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Funny story , members of my family thought that it was weird that I still watched Power Rangers...Were known to watch Disney cartoon movies themselves....And didn't understand why that wasn't much different....Even when Disney owned PR! lol

I do think the stigma has a lot to do with the age difference between 80s kids and millennial s.. But I do think PR nostalgia is more cool than it was ten years ago. I gave had friends reminisce over the old series in a way that wasn't condescending at all. Plus parents are rediscovering the show through their own kids. We even get a lot of PR updates on science fiction sites, that never happened in the early 2001.

I think as we go on the stigma won't quite be so strong. At some point pr fans will be as old as the first transformers fans are now. And really the early fans are already adults too.

Power Rangers is weird. Its the one show that the general public think has been of the year for decades. Yet keeps going on and on. Its funny how we are getting MMPR Nostalgia with the new movie but the regular show has been on almost continuously since.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

I think most people apreciate MMPR..The other stuff not , so much.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

MMPR is the best by far. So thats not a big shock.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Some people just take themselves too seriously. Who cares if anyone likes Power Rangers...Non fans should just not watch.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

I think its just hard for non fans to understand why we like the show. They also don't know much about it. Since they don't follow it.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Power Rangers is great! The only stigma it ever has had is when it tries to go too dark.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

That is pretty silly. Especially since Disney did such a great job on their seasons, just like their movies. The rest of the season isn't at that level. Save for MMPR of course.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Its because the tv show is targeted towards children. Many of us watched when we were young and decided to keep watching. For people that stopped or never watched, its hard for them to understand.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

The funny part is having such a big problem. with someone watching a show, means you are actually the one worrying too much about it. Because in moderation, being a fan of a kids show isn't a big deal. Why waste time worrying why other people like a show you are never going to watch?

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

I don't think it really has a stigma anymore. Not since the first generation of fans became adults. The older generations had no connection with the show. The younger generation does.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

The only stigma is on the stuff after MMPR.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

I don't think PR has a negative stigma. It seems pretty popular to me...With all the toys and the new movie.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

Its because of the source material. Its hard to keep a show like Power Rangers seriously.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

I think it has gotten better. It is definitely a more respected brand now. Especially with the new movie coming out.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

I don't think there is much of a stigma.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

It doesn't really bother me.

Re: Why does PR have such a stigma to it?
 

The stigma went away with Disney backing Power Rangers. But Saban Brands haven't been able to give it the same kind of credibility.
