» Hey guys, welcome to the 2016 Great Cheeseburger Morpher Debate.
We’re here with Greg from Bandai America. » Greetings.
» Hello Greg. » Hello, there.
» So I guess Greg’s going to be kind-of sitting in and, I guess… moderating, would you say?
» Maybe an impartial judge.
A couple months back, I remember Darryl and D.J. got into it
over the viability of the cheeseburger morpher from the Gold Ranger in Ninninger
and whether or not that would make it to U.S. shores either on screens or on toy shelves.
» Oh, so there is a possibility it could be a toy and just not in the show?
» He’s already trying to corner me into answers here. » I’m just asking.
» Basically, we’ll take any kind of information, reactions, strong passionate opinions,
and we’ll bring it back to the office and Saban and Bandai can take this information,
and potentially do something, or nothing with it.
» So far, the first morpher has already been changed, so does that mean
they’re going to stick with the second morpher, or are they going to change it?
Well, let’s meet our debaters.
We’ve got Darryl and D.J. Let’s go to them now.
» Hello, my name is D.J. from Power Rangers Traders, Buyers, and Sellers on Facebook,
and That Hashtag Show on YouTube,
and I’m here to tell you today, there will be no morpher burger.
» I’m Darryl, aka The GrandMaster Ranger and the official Power Morphicon representative,
and I’m here to tell you that as an American, for America, who has served America,
we are getting that burger morpher! America.
D.J., I’m a big fan of your work, I mean, you handle your group so well,
I mean, you know your toys,
which is why I’m so confused. I mean, look at this.
This is the greatest, one of the best, morphers I’ve ever seen.
This is the Gold Ranger morpher — the hamburger morpher.
I don’t get why you think this isn’t gonna happen in Ninja Steel.
Explain why this isn’t gonna happen.
» First of all, I’d like to thank you for joining me tonight, Darryl. » Of course.
» GrandMaster Ranger, I’m also a fan. » Thank you.
» I’d also like to thank Greg from Bandai for joining us today.
Thank you, Greg. » Yeah, Greg, you’re the best.
» And the fine folks over at MMPRtoys for hosting this so-called “debate.”
The reason why I say “debate” with air-quotes is because… it’s a burger, man.
» I know. » I love America; I love my burgers.
I love to eat ’em, sometimes nestle ’em, but sometimes, you know, just dream about them.
They’re one of the greatest food inventions ever known to my stomach.
And that’s where burgers belong: in stomachs.
This concoction, even though works very well in Ninninger,
will not make it to American rangers because they know better.
They already— » Tell me, tell me —
» Ahh! They already changed the primary morpher, as we know.
Why do you think that is?
» Okay, so they’ve changed the primary morpher for this series before, right? » D.J.: Correct.
» Okay, um, tell me, has Bandai done that before, and do you remember how well it worked out?
» They’ve done it before, during Jungle Fury. » Mm-hmm. Any other series?
» Where they changed the primary morpher? » Yes.
» D.J.: Enlighten me.
» Well, I happen to have with me this lovely Samuraizer that America did,
not the amazing Shadow Phone, which could fold into a pen like the Japanese version,
the very-American Samuraizer, that went so well — » Is this your example, sir?
» Do you have a better one to argue my point? » I do.
It’s called the Sushi Changer from Shinkenger.
When brought — eh! — when brought to America, was changed into a regular flip phone
for the Gold Ranger, also a sixth ranger, because it’s a food changer, and they knew it.
» But because the reception was so bad with the “gold morpher” and the “Samuraizer,” mind you — » I disagree.
» — Saban seems — I’m sorry, Bandai seems to be listening to their fans much more often
when it comes to toy receptions. » Correct, and I know a lot fans — shout out to Greg
because he knows what the people wants; Greg for President.
He knows that we are all saying that a burger morpher is absurd.
» First of all, you should look at those advocates because they love the burger. Do you know how much I love the hamburger?
» I know you love the hamburger! That’s why we’re debating!
» No, I don’t think you do! Let me go there for you, okay? Let me go there with the burger, okay?
» Did you whip out the burger? You whipped out the burger.
» I’m not wearing the helmet, I’m wearing the burger because I, as an American, love the golden burger morpher, okay?
» And I, as an American, want to preserve our burgers as our American food.
» What would you have them change the burger morpher into?
» I would have them change it into the guitar.
Realistically, if you’re gonna change the primary morpher into a big shuriken,
this one almost looks like a shuriken in the base of a guitar.
» Because that’s a practical thing a civilian would carry on them
during America before they’re gonna morph? » I would rather see a sixth ranger whip out the guitar
as opposed to, “It’s morphin’ time,” and whip out the burger.
» The burger is the most-practical thing an American would carry!
As the new Gold Ranger, this should be what we have.
» With that said, Bandai (and Greg) knows that the burger, as awesome as it is,
should be left as a food and not as a morpher! » I’m not against the fact that Bandai
took away the sword and changed it, okay? I like this sword.
This sword goes good to my suit, but as you’re about to whip out,
the new morpher, the new morpher we have there, I like that.
» Fits with the theme of ninja stars and having Ninja Steel shurikens, a.k.a. ninja stars.
It makes sense and this makes sense. This does not make sense.
» How many cowboys do you know play electric guitars‽ » Plenty!
» How many cowboys do you know eat burgers‽ Carry burgers with them?
I know plenty of cowboys that carry burgers with them, okay? » Sure.
» Cows make burgers, and this is a cowboy ranger! You guys get me!
» I tend to agree that cows do make burgers. They are not limited to just cows, but with that said,
they are delicious and they need to be eaten, not morphed with.
Thank you. » ♪ [America the Beautiful] ♫
» America, and all the fine people around the world supporting MMPRtoys, I love burgers.
They’ve gotten me through many hard times.
I love them so much, I want them to remain my tasty morsels and not a morpher.
They should be separated; they should remain separated.
It was fine for Ninninger.
Ninja Steel, prepare for something new. Thank you.
» Guys, for those of you who know me, on almost every single group page,
I focus on the positive stuff when it comes to Power Rangers,
and the things they’ve got right.
You’re talking to the one guy who liked Samurai and loved Super Megaforce.
Saban has listened to you and fixed their mistakes; Bandai has listened to you and fixed their mistakes.
They hear you out when it comes to the toys.
I don’t mind that they’ve changed the new morpher from this into something else, okay?
I don’t want another Samuraizer. I know ‹you› don’t want another Samuraizer.
I don’t want a guitar; I want a hamburger.
Power Rangers is outrageous, it’s crazy, it’s cliché, but it’s awesome.
They learn that in Super Dino Charge; they’re gonna learn in Ninja Steel.
Keep this. If we can have a blaster be our morpher,
if we can have a blade be a morpher, why can’t we have a burger be a morpher?
I love America, I love hamburgers, and I love this fandom.
Guys, fight with me on this one, and keep the Gold Ranger’s morpher a hamburger.
This is The GrandMaster Ranger.
» BRUNO: How do you think that went? » GREG: Wow, impassioned pleas
on both sides of the aisle. I mean, this kind of debate —
this is what makes politics such a wonderful and vital thing in our country.
» Who do you think won? » Well… here’s some more politics for you:
I can’t necessarily say right away who I think won. I think they both really —
» They both did a good job. » They did a fantastic job.
They really tried to one-up each other with valid points, tapping into the fandom,
tapping into even previous successes and mistakes in product executions and on shelf and on show.
» I really don’t know where I stand. Um… » Well, you’re sitting, first of all.
» Well, that’s true. » Don’t beat yourself up over that.
» Well, yeah. » Be easy on yourself.
» [Bruno laugh] To burger or not to burger? What about you guys?
Do they comment whether they vote for or against the burger?
» Remember, it’s not a popularity contest. They’re both handsome, charming, witty guys.
You’re not voting on them; you’re voting on their platform.
It’s not a popularity contest. What do you think about the cheeseburger morpher?
» How many of you guys actually really feel strongly
outside of just because that’s what they did in Ninninger,
and how many of you guys are just like, “I really ‹love› the burger morpher
and I really think that they should do it, it would really make a toy,
I really like how they used it on the show.” What do you think?
I mean, the guitar could work too, if it wasn’t the burger morpher.
Or could it be something new entirely?
» Hmm! Good points.
» Alright, I’m gonna leave it up to you guys, now.
We thank Darryl and D.J. and Greg from Bandai, who’s, of course, listening.
Oh. » I mean, they’re already reacting.
» Oh. » They’re fast. » They are fast. [Bruno laugh]
» Hey, hey, be nice, be nice. » Hey, hey, I was just gonna say.
I’m not repeating that. Are we gonna end here?
» It’s just the beginning, my friends. » This is just the beginning, but the end of this video,
so we thank you guys for watching. Please subscribe if you haven’t.
I’ll always be back with many good videos. Bandai is watching.
Leave good comments. And… good night.
