  1. Fine Bros are shitty in what they’ve been trying to do.

    Their line of product is stupid too in a sense. Reaction for the sake of reaction.

    But I remember when one of their video clips hit the front page of damned Reddit. Old guy laughing how he hit a woman in GTA.

    Their stuff has social commentary from different generations. However I keep in mind that some of them have appeared elsewhere. I’m unsubscribed from their channel as of their recent bullshit bringing everything to light, but it surprised me to see one or two of the elders on some reality TV shows. Mainly a cooking one.

    1. Yeah they run some of those TV shows so that’s why those people may have shown up there. As for the react, I enjoy some of them but most of it is the same as what the rest of the internet is doing. I always got a shifty vibe from them when trying to watch videos with them in it. But totally agree with you on their channel and shtick

  2. So with Elizabeth Banks playing the role of Rita are we to assume the Power Rangers movie is going to be a comedy? Either they go serious or a comedy. They can’t have the same tone as the TV show can they?

    1. sure they can…. they can do whatever they want…. sadly. We are all clamoring for a more serious take on MMPR, but with the same kinda flare the show had. take the cheesiness outta it, make the story dark, with light humor spread throughout.

    2. I think they can play the campy factor. It can be super cheesy. The show is a serious and a comedy mix with the low budget camp factor. So It may end up being more like the MMPR The Movie in tone I think but I think she’ll play the role well with her similiar character in the getup from Hunger Games.

    3. Well Elizabeth Banks is the type of actress that can do pretty much anything so it doesn’t tell you much about what direction they are going. My guess is it will be more comedic but who knows for sure. Personally I hope it is not nearly as serious as the Transformers movies that are too over wrought with self importance. Give me silly any day. I’m thinking something a long the tone of Men In Black. It was funny but not too silly.

      1. that’d be cool. But I want the look of the MMPR 1995 FILM more than the look of the show when it comes to the ranger suits zords and stuff.
