Is it just me, or did Troy use Jake's real name when they were first talking to Jordan?

jivjov posted:So I just got around to watching the most recent episode of Megaforce; isn't it a bit early in the season for them to be pulling out the "Use all the Zords at once" combination? They get other MegaZords as well, Hyper/Ultra Gosei Great is a speed bump on the road to power. In other news, Cipher Pol 9 posted this article in the Tokusatsu thread about how the Gokaiger suits will be used as a super mode for the current Goseiger suits. I don't know if I like this, but I'll wait to see it in action before condemning the idea.

I can't stop laughing at how Troy is more robotic than the actual robot.  Pinwiz11 posted:I gave up on Goseiger after a couple of episodes when it was first broadcast, so I never realized that there were three waves of main villains before the end. Now I'm much more intrigued as to how Saban is going to work the rest of the season, since they main boss is still alive at this point. I am too, I always liked Boukenger/Operation Overdrive's parallel villain groups. It can't be too much worse than OO, anyway.

Are they seriously planning to put the Megaforce rangers in the Gokaiger's civilian outfits? That's not quite stupid enough to wrap back around to awesome.

Well, that's one way to tie Goseiger and Gokaiger together. At this rate, Megaforce is already 10 times better than Samurai. I hope it doesn't get boring.

Super Megaforce hasn't had a "Rapping Roboknight" moment for me, but for some reason I find the seemingly random leaving in of un-adapted sentai intriguing. I also wasn't expecting any cameos until the Legend War happened, so they're a nice surprise as well.

So far so good, I guess. I'm gonna miss the dancing and the announcer isn't nearly as energizing, but at least they're trying to mix it up a bit. Though that dumping on Pink came out of nowhere.

I still miss Torin and the dancing/samba, but Dino Charge is going surprisingly well so far. I also like that the team is airing out conflicts, even though Tyler didn't really have anything to apologize for this time.

Burkion posted:Yeah- though I tend to roll my eyes at times when they are actively NOT killing the monsters they're fighting, SPD made the correct call given what they're supposed to be. SpiderHyphenMan posted:Aren't the judges of the Ultimate Courthouse they request authorization from basically omnipotent? I thought that was how it worked. As far as I remember, the executed criminals in Dekaranger were mass murderers who had already been given their death sentences. The whole 'Judgement Scanner' thing was more about confirming identity than anything else. There's even a few times where the Dekarangers think they've found their MOTW and used the scanner only to find that wasn't the criminal they were looking for.

Burkion posted:So I've mentioned this a time or two before, here and there. I am working on getting a comic series started based on Power Rangers, and of course Super Sentai. The title of the book is proposed to be The Lightning Brigade (Or The Lightning Brigade 5, LB5 for short) I for one would love to hear about it. I always like reading about the formation of these kind of projects.

JesusSinfulHands posted:It is not good. Feels even more childish/sanitized than usual. Has one interesting concept (main villain is motivated by being on a game show) but I'm already writing it off as a mediocre/bad season, unless the tone and dialogue of the series significantly improves. Ah well, Ninninger wasn't very good either. Shame the anniversary falls on such a series, but maybe it'll turn around. (It probably won't)

Open Marriage Night posted:The first prelude issue to the Power Rangers comic event came out yesterday if anyone cares. I haven't read the comics, or watched the show since I was a kid, but Atop the Fourth Wall had me nostalgic, so I'll follow the books for now. Is it the mainline book or Go Go Power Rangers? EDIT: Just went to Comixology, it's the mainline book. The comics have been pretty good so far, hopefully the event doesn't send them spiraling into crap.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Even in Go-Busters it was bizarre that Hiromu's weakness was chickens. Like, the other two had legitimate issues from their powers, but he's just... scared of chickens. Like was said before, Hiromu's weakness was that he froze when he panicked. He just panicked at the sight of chickens because of he was attacked by one as a child, and was such a cool customer that nothing else scared him that badly. I didn't realize Power Rangers had moved to an early morning slot and missed the first episode, is there any way to catch it now or do I just have to wait for it to show up on netflix/nick.com? I caught the second one, and so far it seems pretty good aside from a weak theme song.

Talking about the comics, does anyone else get the vibe that Alpha-1 from Go Go is entirely too good to be true? There's two ways I see this arc going down: A: He goes too farTM in his pursuit of everlasting peace and has to be destroyed for the greater good. B: He sacrifices himself to stop an overwhelming threat. I'd honestly be more surprised if he just ends up retiring off to Florida or something.

The Nick app finally decided to start working, so I was able to catch up to ep 4 of Beast Morphers. It's pretty great so far, if it keeps up this level of quality it'll easily rank as one of the best seasons of PR. Still a shame it's on so early, I keep forgetting to catch it on tv.

I remembered disliking Wild Force pretty heavily as a kid, but seeing it again during the Twitch marathon my opinions have apparently softened on it. Not nearly as dramatically as say, Lightspeed Rescue (currently one of my favorites), but I like the team (Cole's boringness aside) and the villains have good character bits.

Did Beast Morphers just fall of a cliff or something quality wise? I've missed a ton of episodes since I didn't know it was on Netflix as well, but the early ones seemed promising. Steel has been a surprisingly good counterpart for J, it's actually pretty impressive and gives me hope for the next adaptation. Has that been announced yet?

Ah, ok. Thanks for the answers! Go-Busters was good and Beast Morphers is too, maybe the adaptation of Ryusoulger will be an improvement! Also, is there anyway to see the new episodes of Beast Morphers? Netflix only has the first season and the Nick app is a nightmare to use.

Thanks for the replies! I've been enjoying Necessary Evil about as much as Shattered Grid, but I agree we could do with some shorter arcs. I get that the original team/suits are popular, but I kind of wish they'd do some stories about other teams. Maybe like a "Tales from the Morphin Grid" scenario where they bounce around teams a bit before returning to the Mighty Morphin rangers. Also, what's everyone's favorite team? Right now I'd say it's a toss-up between RPM and Beast Morphers.

It's a pretty even mix of expected answers and curveballs in regards to favorite teams, that's cool! It's always a shame when your favorite ranger doesn't get much focus.John Wick of Dogs posted:Whoever runs the Twitter account is good Blaze Dragon posted:I'm not sure if I'd want something like that because last time the comic went with a different team it sucked and they were all written as far worse people than they really should have. I feel that, if we got focus on another team, it really would have to be from zero like the MMPR, a complete reboot instead of having them from a random point in history and have the writers struggle to rewrite them to fit their own tastes with no real growth before. Which team was that again? I'm totally blanking because the last one I remember had Alpha-5 in a top hat and mustache as part of a flashback.

Blaze Dragon posted:Beyond the Grid. Coinless Kim/Ranger Slayer, Tanya/Zeo Ranger II Yellow, Andros/Red Space Ranger, Mike/Magna Defender, Cam/Green Samurai Ranger, Heckyl/Dark Ranger and newcomer Ellarien/Solar Ranger. Ah, guess it speaks to Beyond the Grid's quality that I totally forgot about it! I wonder what happened, given that the other teams in Shattered Grid didn't get bent out of character like that. Blaze Dragon posted:Even when I first saw the series as a kid, I found it incredibly bizarre that they had to give back their jackets. The morphers fine, that made sense, but why the jackets? That was so silly. The real answer is probably that they had to give back their jackets at the end of Gaoranger, but that series made more of a point about the rangers giving up their lives to be superheroes, like how they generally use their color instead of names to refer to each other.

Larryb posted:It’s almost kind of impressive just how utterly soulless and lazy Megaforce was (particularly in the second half though the Goseiger stuff wasn’t exactly great either), they tried to rehash MMPR without really understanding what made that show work, Non-PR Sentai suits were used with little to no explanation, the show was almost entirely devoid of original ideas, they flew out several guest stars for maybe like a minute or two of screen time (some of which didn’t even have any lines), and that’s just to name a few of the things wrong with the show. The Non-PR Sentai stuff was the most baffling bit of Super Megaforce to me. If they'd said "no unadapted suits" and cut them all out, I'd understand that. If they said "who cares, throw it all in", I'd understand that too. But the way they cut some and left others made no sense at all. I just can't believe Super somehow ended up worse than Megaforce.  Has Beast Morphers Season 2 hit Netflix yet? I've tried to watch it on Nick's app, but it's such a pain to use. I don't even think it has all the episodes, but hell if I can tell one way or the other.

Dawgstar posted:How's the main Power Rangers comic? I really dig Go Go, but when I tried the main book initially I kinda bounced off of it. Maybe it was Kyle Higgins' writing? Really? When did you first start the main book? I've enjoyed it for the most part, especially Shattered Grid. Beyond The Grid was a slog, though. Necessary Evil also leans pretty heavily on Shattered Grid, so if you didn't like that as much as I did it might annoy you. Overall I thought it was a pretty good examination of The Power Transfer and Adam's, Aisha's and Rocky's characters alongside the world expansion.

Dawgstar posted:Oh, I started when the book did and fell off before we got to Shattered Grid. That's why I wondered if it wasn't the initial writer I didn't care for. Oh, ok. Yeah, if you didn't even get to Shattered Grid I'd suggest giving that another look. I'd say that's the high point of the book so far though, so if it doesn't grab you there's probably no reason for you to keep going. There's a few neat side stories though, like Alpha 5 meeting the Ninja Steel team and knowing one of their mentors through a hinted-at adventure.

Craptacular! posted:Speaking of Scorpina, I've been reading the comic where the inhabitants of Drakkon's world try to hold things together without him, and it's interesting but very edgelord and kind of uncomfortable. The new issue of Drakkon dropped yesterday, it's pretty neat to see them using the idea I'd thought of when they focused so much on the Diffuser (Make it power everyone, not just the rangers or sentries.). There's another sting at the end of the book, though I could see it both as a lead-up to the next issue or a cliffhanger ending. I guess we'll see which one it is.
