The Top 10 Evil Power Rangers
The multi-coloured, spandex wearing heroes have battled the forces of evil for over 25 years. But a tradition starting way back in the original series of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers saw evil Power Rangers enter the fray every now and then. Often these evil Rangers tend to be shadow versions of the heroes or a team member or two placed under a temporary spell for the episode. However, there have been plenty who were evil and around for more than a single episode. Here we will look at 10 of the best of these evil Rangers and how some left major marks on the franchise.

3 Reasons Why Marvel Should Recast the Black Panther.
Chadwick Boseman did a stupendous job at bringing T'Challa, King of Wakanda, to life on the big screen. Tragically, he lost his battle with colon cancer and fans are divided as to what should happen now. The options range from promoting Shuri to the new Black Panther, much like how the character took the mantle up for a time in the comics, to recasting a new actor to portray T'Challa and even some have suggested to leave Wakanda for good.

The Boys Season 2, Introducing a New Character the Right Way!
The Boys was a superhero show that hit last year unlike any other. It offered a true perspective of how Superheroes would operate in today's world. With massive PR firms behind the Supes, they effectively get away with absolutely horrendous acts as the PR guru's behind them make twists in the stories of their super antics. With some if not all the heroes, this even comes down to their origin stories, to enable fans the chance to believe even more in these super-beings.

World Collide Again, the Sailor Senshi Reimagined as Pokémon Trainers!
Now this may seem crazy, but it is something I have done a few times before just for fun. That is to take characters from one franchise and reimagine them as Pokémon Trainers. Previously, I have used Marvel's X-Men characters to reimagine a Pokemon region, with a male a female protagonist, the professor of the region, the evil Team Brotherhood, the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four and the region champion all made from some beloved mutants. Another saw Ash and Pikachu arriving in a region where the characters from the Japanese franchise Precure cover the region. Which I wrote differently, telling the story of Ash's journey in the region.

10 Things Marvel Need to do to Avoid a Fourth Fantastic Four Flop in the MCU
To say the Fantastic Four films produced by 20th Century Fox are perhaps some of the most panned superhero films of all time would be kind. While their first two attempts were slightly more successful, their 2015 film reboot was a complete disaster. This has fans of the first family concerned that they will never get a good adaptation of the beloved comic book series.

Voted By the Fans, Which Sailor Senshi is the Most Popular?
Nearly 30 years ago the Sailor Senshi awoke with a simple mission, to protect love and justice from the evils of the universe. Not many franchises can boast the longevity Sailor Moon has seen. The franchise is not going away any time soon either, as they are producing new versions of the Sailor Senshi in the Sailor Moon Crystal series. But, for many fans the original series is still the cream of the Sailor crop.

What the Transformers Movie Reboot Universe Need to Make it Better than the Bay-Era Movies.
The Micheal Bay movie series saw five films and met mixed reviews the further down the line the story went. But when Bumblebee hit theatres and saw high praise and great reviews, it caused for a new change in the films place within the Transformers films.

With it now all set and a new series of films to spring from it, we will look at what the new franchise needs to be a success for fans both old and new.

What Doctor Who Needs to Bring in Season 13 to Save Itself.
To say Doctor Who has always been a hit with its own fanbase is difficult to say. This comes down to how a character travelling through space and time is bound to have episodes that resonate more with fans, than others they do not. It is a tricky thing to pull-off, especially when historical figures are involved. Often the show knocks it out of the park with these depictions, other times it knocks it into audiences heads and starts a fit of rage from within. The latest series of the show is a prime example of this, with some aspects fans loving and others them wishing the writers had not tried. It is perhaps a time where the fanbase in completely divided. So to save the Time Lord from falling into a time crack to cancellation, here is what the writers need to do to save themselves.
