I'm a serious sucker for floppy drive music  It's a project I've wanted to tackle for a while, but all my parts are at my parents house and I never feel like boxing them up and bringing them to my place. Someday.

But technically RPM was in an alternate dimension so they're not one of the teams that preceded Megaforce! Actually my biggest complaint is that in Megaforce they seemed completely unfamiliar with the previous Power Rangers, but now suddenly they know enough about them to know the team names and even to a degree their morphing phrases. Still doesn't seem completely terrible outside of all the unnecessary talking (but I'm used to that by now), and Troy still not having any sort of personality, and the oddness of Noah suddenly becoming a sword master.

When in doubt, just blame the Morphing Grid. Why do they know Kung fu? Morphing Grid. How do they know how to pilot a giant robot? Morphing Grid. What's up with the sparks and explosions? Morphing Grid.

I will say when I watched the new episode, I actually kinda liked the first five minutes? It seemed like an attempt to actually show effects of this supposed invasion, with (what should have been) familiar locations in ruins and the rangers having to ambush enemies rather than fight in the open. Hell, they're so paranoid they almost try to fight Troy because they think he's an enemy before he reveals himself. Otherwise though, I honestly wish they'd slotted in a whole extra episode's worth - or at least half!- of narrative from the point Gosei said the line 'the Earth has never seen an invasion of this scale before' (baloney, but whatever). At least have a little more suspense before you toss out the old toys for the new ones - show why the Megaforce powers alone aren't gonna be enough. Examine whats happened to the Rangers' social lives (if we had ever established those beyond Noah and the teacher) in the wake of, oh, the entire planet under attack. Both the first and last episodes of In Space got this relatively well, with the first episode dedicated mostly to the Turbo Rangers wandering around aimlessly in space because whilst they had heart, without their powers they had nothing resembling the means to do any good - but even in the cliffhanger they show the determination that comes with the suits. Countdown to Destruction saw the Megawinger destroyed, the Astro megaship prove overwhelmed, and the rangers tried fighting head on only to be beaten by sheer numbers - and are forced to mull over just what the heck they do, huddled around a fire in the middle of scrap, as civilians who have likely lost their homes wonder how exactly they're meant to go on as well. Would it have been so hard for Gosei to just tell the rangers to wait a bit as he tries to jury rig something to try and turn the odds in their favour? I can buy concentrating the powers of nearly two dozen ranger teams into one set as needing a little effort. For what its worth, the episode overall wasn't too bad, just very clearly rushed. My favourite part of the series was and continues to be Jake, both for the crack he gets in about how blatantly he's been ripped off, but also how they actually gave a slight handwave to him being more Doc-ish fighting style wise. He is having so much fun with the new ranger powers - you can hear it in his voice.

Legacy Titanus So expensively cheap! On another note, I really didn't like how Zyuranger introduced Ultimate Daizyujin. As soon as they introduced Sovereign Daizyujin, they went straight to Ultimate. Should have given Sovereign Daizyujin a few more episodes. Or maybe recycle footage to use it as a finisher a bit more often.

At this point, we're better off having the Kung Pow Chicken squad dub over the Japanese footage and release that on air.

I'm tempted to put a scene comparison of the posted battle because saying the Megaforce talk a lot more is a severe understatement.

"So we've only got 20 episodes for this 'year after the anniversary' series, we should probably be paring back the Sentai footage and refilming around it where necessary to just use stuff that was actually in Power Rangers right?" "Nah, just throw the rest of the White Ranger's team in there! Why do they have them? Where do they come from? Won't that be weird if we use the full team morph later on? Doesn't matter, Gosei can just pull them out of his metaphorical arse!" I rewatched the Ninja Storm/Dino Thunder teamup last night. It was nice to see some Power Rangers where the production team cared about what they were doing.

Wow, they couldn't even come up with a better name than "The New Powers"? That's loving terrible and to make matters worse they just pop out of no where. I wonder if they're gonna bring over any other sentai only teams?

It's not actually new. Gosei just stole the White Ranger designs and made 5 more rangers based off it. Most of what he's done is just stolen from Zordon's emergency plans locker.

I just realized that the first appearance of the MMPR suits in Super Megaforce is going to be them getting the poo poo beaten out of them, since Saban was too cheap to give them original footage in episode 1. I'd also like to point out that in the official anniversary season we saw the Dairanger suits before the MMPR suits. SpiderHyphenMan fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Feb 22, 2014 |

Why didn't they use the sentai footage that the White Ranger came from at the time? Was it pure "We don't know if kids will keep watching if we use other footage"? vvv That makes sense. After all, 20+ years later, the original PR is still what comes to mind for most. MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Feb 22, 2014 |

Box of Bunnies posted:Pretty much. They'd just found themselves with a big hit and didn't want to mess with brand recognition. The thing that gets me is that they willingly gave up two opportunities to sell kids another entire set of action figures to do this. (I know they sold the Kakurangers as the Alien Rangers but I imagine they didn't sell that well compared to the main team figures or even the ninja costume figures.)

I wish I liked the Ninja suits more than I did. The suits themselves are cool...but the bulky masks with bedsheet-ghost-costume style eyeholes just kill it for me.

The ninja pyjamas looked really cool in the movie. Substantially less so in the series. And god, let us not discuss the disappointment over how incredibly lame the metallic armour was. I was hoping they'd found an excuse to bring in the movie suits, not have the Rangers attend a children's hobby meet

If I recall, the metallic armor was originally going to be the movie suits, but they were so flimsy that they barely survived the movie, let alone being in storage and then wheeled out for TV shooting.
