SpiderHyphenMan posted:Samurai Ultrazord.  Bandai made a different version for the US. First off, the Samurai Zords were smaller. Second, Samurai Folding Zords couldn't fold. So if you had all the parts for the Gigazord, the yellow zord would be a dangling arm instead of triangle.

Anyone catch Akibaranger S2E02? They've made up for the boring recap in E1 for sure! This screen seemed a bit appropriate:

I really liked the differences between Red/Yellow's Akibaranger and Blue's Akibaranger. Here's hoping the next episode explores what's changed.

Zedd posted:I hope the current Sentai's robot's make a big universal clusterfuck again. Doubtful. Its gimmick and electronics don't work for large zord formations. At best you can expect to see something as lame and boring as Dino Thunder's combinations. You can't even make a megazord with all five kyoryugers' zords. You get Red with two as arms. They just introduced the sixth Kyoryuger and its' combination is simply a pair of wings ala the Ninja Falconzord. Meanwhile you STILL have two zords just standing around doing nothing.

So the red ranger will never have the swagger to match Marvelous/Gokai Red, none of the cast will match the Gokaiger footage to be honest and here's SPD green further bringing hopes down with some scary info. http://www.jefusion.com/2013/05/spd-green-ranger-comments-on-power-ranger-super-megaforce-cameos.html quote:First. I don't know what email Saban sent out. As far as I know - nobody in Disney era cast received a letter. Second. I totally get Karan. PR is one of the most top rated kids series in the world - the actors get paid peanuts to do it relative to any other show on television that doesn't play in every foreign market on earth. I actually make more at my current joe job per hour than they ever paid. They make tons of money off of licensing and merchandise, that doesn't trickle down to the actor.[/b] quote:To ask cast (except me apparently) to go down to NZ, essentially for free when you subtract food/airfare/hotel and the time away from responsibilities at home - is a LOSS. This is one of the major reasons why you started to have a rotating cast. So there aren't any contract negotiations. You have the cast. You milk them and then you cut them off. It's one of the reasons SPD/Mystic Force didn't have a team up. Wish it were different. I love the show and I love the fans. #Buttery So this poo poo is gonna be a great train wreck to watch. How hard is it to budget a loving anniversary season? Of the only show you have had success in? Like it's this easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyRZzRChKII

Operation Overdrive Turbo Jungle Fury Megaforce Samurai Those are all pretty bad. From Mystic Force to RPM was a dark time and I see why the canceled it. What I don't understand is why Saban wants to mix Goseiger suit with Gokaiger suits? They didn't learn from Mighty Morphin? They always cry about budget and money but go out of their way to make it hard. Now they have to find a way to make the whole changing process smooth with like 3 different transitions and not make it all too ridiculous. Then again this is the same group that named an actual season "Megaforce" and thought it was cool THEN was too lazy to come up with new names for any of the merch.

Even in their worst season, Disney did a pretty decent job of marking the franchise's anniversary. Not the best episodes, but this (non-Overdrive) team is rad as gently caress. With the way Saban Brands have handled things since getting it back, maybe Disney were right to smother the show when they did.

Update on trainwreck: No Power Rangers Exclusive Ranger Keys in "Super Megaforce" Also, the Reds of SPD and Ninja Storm have both confirmed that they will not be appearing in Super Mega Force. Some people are taking this news like a mature adult would (well, as mature as any adult who watches Power Rangers can be). quote:They. Don't. Care. quote:except they SHOULD care because if the new kids see these old actors then they will want to watch all the old shows. which mean interest in toys and other crap that Saban can sell them! its about history drat it! that's like saying nobody needs to learn about the wars of the past because they didn't live back then. its just Saban being lazy assholes who disrespect everyone involved. this is a time when both Sentai fans and Power Ranger fans and fans of both need to work together and tell Saban to stop being freaking stupid and stop this show right now because its clear they can't do it justice. I would rather my children sit down and watch the old MMPR on DVD or do a marathon on Netflix then support this era's "Saban" I loving love this poo poo.

It's to be expected. While it's almost certainly true that the kids don't give a poo poo about old rangers, Megaforce is already cheap and lazy, so why would they put effort into something like actually making new keys?

Making keys for those Rangers would be the dumbest thing. Only one that would really mean something is Titianium Ranger and he was just a Tommy retread anyway. Like really A-Squad keys? Come on.

One thing about the Disney show's is they were NOT lazy. Just watching them with my daughter I can tell they had effort and love put into them. Mystic Force I didn't like the suits, the whole magic thing, and the story didn't grab me. Operation overdrive I didn't like the suit, the villains and their look, and I watched the Sentai first. Jungle Fury was Jarrod chewing scenery the show. The spirit rangers looked really good though, they did a great job with them. The common theme between them? Terrible theme songs!

quote:The TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC do not know who these people are. Why would they waste money trying to impress you adults, who will buy their merch regardless of how much you moan online. I don't know who would buy anything since everything besides the action figures has been cheap garbage since Operation Overdrive. The disparity between North America and Japan when it's come to megazords is a joke. Even Boukenger's tiny Daibouken was still leaps and bounds of quality over OO's cost cutting garbage. Everything since than has just been a smaller and cheaper version of the Sentai version, with everything but the most barebones features removed. No reason RPM couldn't have used GoOnger's megazords with the electronics removed, but instead they made them smaller and flattened the Engine Souls. Samurai completely changed everything around and now the Samurai Gigazord, which should be huge and awesome, is an ugly hunk of plastic. Megaforce's all "zord" combination uses a character that doesn't even exist in the show, so they had to give you these weird extra plastic bits with all the heads to do something similar to it with the toy. It's just bad, and now I probably won't miss the show anymore if Super Megaforce tanks the series.

We already dont buy the poo poo, we just import then the toys sales have been declining (GEE I WONDER WHY) IN OTHER SABAN IS INCOMPETENT NEWS: The email sent to past Rangers: quote:We had been entertaining the possibility of past Rangers joining us for the longest time and didn't think it was possible to do. Due to so many requests from a number of past Rangers (as well as an overwhelming amount of requests from the fans, too!) we, as a production, talked it over and agree that it is a fabulous idea that we would like to make happen. This is also a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge all of the loyal fans and thank them for their support over 20 years. We want this to happen and we want as many of you as possible over here with us!!

So their big anniversary season, based on a series whose entire gimmick was based on previous members showing up... didn't have a budget for returning cast members. Why did they buy this back from Disney again?

Apparently they never planned to use a lot of Gokaiger footage and ask any previous rangers back AT ALL. What the Christ. Which makes me wonder just what were they gonna do instead of this?
