I demand to be taken seriously

Honestly, not having the Nickelodeon half season bullshit will be fantastic. It'll allow stories to flow much better (granted I haven't seen very much of Dino Charge so I have no idea if it flows better than Super Megaforce & Samurai did)

That said, id be down for netflix, no more super bs and no more scheduling issues, plus id be able to finally forget about Nick.

I don't get why they're just not using all new names. I mean, okay Trini is a Spanish name but older fans are just going to connect it with Thuy Tran.

Maybe there's going to be a last minute replacement of the actress and she's going to be played by an Asian lady.

You know, have EVERYTHING come full circle for Trini.

Holy poo poo we're down to the final 5 Megazords in that poll... and all but one of them are just individual Zords.

AND SURPRISE SURPRISE, FOUR OF THEM ARE FROM MMPR.

We have the Dragon Zord, the Red Thunder DragonZord, Titanus, The Tiger Zord, and the SPD Delta Command Crawler

So TWO Tommy's and TWO Jason's. (And Kruger)

Holy poo poo this is great. I am shocked that all of the actual Megazords got knocked out.

To be fair, the title is misleading. This was Zord madness, no Mega, so of course individual zords get the advantage over a car that's an arm of a megazord.

MMPR stuff getting this far is bullshit tho, Quantum Rex should be there.

Me too, lemme crosspost my really quick review from the Toku thread:

jivjov posted:

Got my Dairanger set today; its pretty much exactly the same as the Zyuranger set in terms of quality and presentation.

Minor differences: instead of the OP over the main menu and the ED over the Episode Select, the Dairanger set has the ED over the main and silence on the Episode Select.

First episode leads up with what I assume is the preview for Dairanger that would have aired after the final episode of Zyuranger. Cute to see.

Also, there's no bonus features of any kind. The Zyuranger set had a couple...but this one is just 5 episodes per disc, 10 discs total. I was hoping for at least a little featurette of what from Dairanger got taken for MMPR Season 2, but oh well.

Incidentally, the plastic case of my set suffered a bit in the post..if anyone knows a good source for the same type of DVD case, let me know. I checked amazon, but nothing seemed to quite match, and since the episode list is printed on the inside of the case sleeve, having everything line up the same is kinda important.

Yeah Collider as I understand it isn't really that reputable of a source. Most likely we won't know what's really happening after Dino Charge until some time next year.

Again a very likpatous story
So I finally got caught up on Dino Charge and I have to say this is a really good season. The later episodes have Tyler with a bit more personality which is nice, but there still isn't much at all to Riley's character.

I'm curious why they had Purple the way he was. Considering the Sentai footage, I thought they'd just go the route of him getting way into fighting but then realize "I'm getting too old for this poo poo" and giving up the Energem. Then they just didn't use any Sentai footage and made him scared of monsters. I wonder if they were worried that saying someone is "too old" to be a Ranger might cause some people to get upset.

I'm still going to bet on Tyler's dad being Silver, I guess Keeper COULD become Silver but it seems pretty unlikely.

I'm guessing now that they've introduced Graphite and Purple, the reason they skipped Cyan is so they can use the footage from the last episodes of Kyoryuger and are making it so Aqua was always a woman, which wouldn't have been possible if they'd used Spirit Cyan's footage. Given that Purple already has the situation of "started out as a guy then became a woman" it makes sense they wouldn't want to do that for Aqua too. I also feel like they probably won't explain the brown chest sash on Graphite and are hoping people won't notice...and they're probably right, I know I never noticed the Spirit Kyoryugers had brown chest sashes as opposed to yellow until somebody pointed it out halfway through the series.

Indeed. Despite not finishing Kyoryuger, Plezuon truly is the best. Wouldn't you want your own literal ROCKET DINOSAUR that becomes a GIANT FUCKOFF MECH all on it's own?

By the end of Kyoryuger, they could field 4 or 5 full mecha iirc.

Engine-Oh G12 was made up of 4 robots, plus they had GoRoader. 6 if you count the summer movie repaint.

Boukenger had DaiBouken, DaiTanken, Siren Builder, DaiVoyager and Zuban.

From what I hear, they're going to use DeathRyuger/KyoryuNavy somehow as the "Talon Ranger". How he's going to work when the show has stated repeatedly there are only 10 Energems remains to be seen.

A secret 11th, or a 10th of the power siphoned off from the "real" 10, or he has some other transform-y gimmick, or they won't even address it at all.

My guess is they're not adapting the movie stuff at all and DeathRyuger/Spinodaioh won't be mentioned. The only times Spinodaioh showed up in the series were in the movie tie-in episode (easily skipped) and in the final battle. But since they made Sledge, they probably won't use any of the mech footage from the final episode and thus they can skip that too.

EDIT: I should mention the "Ultimate Dino Charge Collection" I saw at Toys R Us which seems to have every battery from the series didn't have a 00 battery. Since it had batteries for other things that haven't yet been introduced such as the Super Charger (Carnival) and Victory/X Chargers, the lack of a 00 battery seems to be pretty telling.

Yeah it's also nice to give people the opportunity to get all the batteries if they don't want to buy the Zords.

Also the Dino Zord Mega Pack has a weird US original Zord in it too. I know that US only Zord toys are nothing new but it's still odd to me.

Yeah I could be wrong and they'll adapt it anyway, people definitely seem to be convinced the Talon Ranger is a thing so maybe there's actual solid evidence that it's going to happen that I haven't seen. If they do introduce him then it's pretty obvious that his Energem will be a fake one that Wrench created or something, not sure how they'll explain Spinodaioh but I guess they've got it figured out.
