I think the biggest problem with both versions of Megaforce is the fact that it's just so lifeless. Because they rely so heavily on Sentai footage and cram two unrelated seasons together everything comes up feeling hollow.

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?

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:The ninja pyjamas looked really cool in the movie. Substantially less so in the series. Ugh, thanks for reminding me! The worst thing about that was they hyped it up for several episodes only to reveal those weird glittery versions of their costumes. Which, of course, matched the stupid glittery versions of the toys that came out at the same time as the movie.

Flameingblack posted:I wish someone better than Linkara was doing a retrospective on Power Rangers, but in the time it's taken him to do them I've watched almost all the seasons on Netflix myself anyway, without a rage-driven spergy nerd with a shrill voice nitpicking the tiniest little things and turning it into a 35 minute rant. I'm sure he's going to completely hate RPM somehow and I can imagine that's the first time he'll watch the Sentai and then just put RPM down for not being anything like the source I couldn't agree more! I barely made it ten minutes into his one on In Space before I couldn't take it anymore. The idea is solid, but he's just so dull and annoying that it's a chore to sit through.

It's a shame they waited until Zeo to actually give Rocky a personality. I wouldn't have minded the power transfer if bad rear end Jason got replaced with sarcastic dick Rocky.

Astro Nut posted:That said, this might raise even more questions on where the keys come from. Because if Gosei had one shipped off into freaking space whilst even Megaforce was going on, the Rangers were left in the dark yet again by their so called mentor. Also, if the Super Megaforce keys are just power ups why doesn't Silver have a Megaforce counterpart?

I could understand keeping the Megaforce suits IF they used still used footage from Goseiger. But the way it's presented now is just really awkward and cumbersome.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:I'm surprised they didn't just use the Morphin Brace from Go-Busters. That would have satisfied Bandai America's terror of giving western children implements of violence as transformation devices, plus their desire to filter UV rays from children's eyes. I wonder if they'll actually use the guns to transform. After all they changed the Jungle Fury morpher to sunglasses because the knuckle brace was considered too violent.

The show's still got some pace to pick up in terms of possible representation, but its gotten better about it over time at least (overall). Don't forget the Samurai's red ranger was Japanese! At least according to the show he was....

I get what you're saying but lets be honest here, Samurai had a female leader for one or two episodes. SPD's female red was evil and only around for the last two episodes of the season. And while Jen was technically the leader of Time Force Wes was more prominently featured and given the leadership role more often than not.

If there's more than six rangers on a team what does it matter who's technically the "sixth ranger"? Especially now a days when the sixth ranger gets reduced to just another dude two episodes after he debuts.

I think the use of Sentai rangers wouldn't be so bad if they at least were clever about it. But to just have them there with no rhyme or reason and no explanation is just kind of lovely.

I might be the only person who lost interest in Kyoryuger. I made it up till Silver debuts and just stopped watching. Not that the show was bad, by any means, it just didn't hold my attention.Morby posted:I really like Jungle Fury and Mystic Force, but I have some friends who don't because of the red ranger (particularly Nick on Mystic Force). If they can't stand the red ranger, it doesn't matter how awesome the rest of the cast is. That's how I am most of the time, even when it comes to Sentai.
