How would YOU have done Power Rangers (Super) Megaforce?
It's become clear to me that quite a few of us weren't very happy with Megaforce last year, and some of us have come to the conclusion that Super Megaforce feels more like an insult to Power Rangers fans in general, both old and new. Despite being billed as "the most expensive season" and "the big anniversary season that's meant to be a tribute to the series itself", so far in the season we haven't seen much of the "biggest budget for a Power Rangers season" being used in effect. Right now, the way I see it, most of that budget will probably go into "Legendary Battle", the last episode for Super Megaforce.
The reason I make this thread is because I want to know how YOU would have done differently with Megaforce altogether. Let's say you're in charge of this 20th anniversary season, and you're in total control over the project, NOT Saban and Nickelodeon. What would you have done differently for Megaforce/Super Megaforce? Would you keep it like it is now, but change a few things around? Would you make your own story? Would you fully adapt Goseiger and skip Gokaiger altogether, or vice versa? Or would you simply just change the title because "Megaforce" just sounds too generic? I know it's a little early to make this thread, since Super Megaforce is only a few episodes in, but I'm just curious. |
Exactly like it is now. For all it's flaws I'm still enjoying the season. I'd just change how it ends.
By having Tommy find a Gold Beast Prism and becoming Dino Charge Gold :D |
Probably wouldn't have been the most practical of seasons, but who cares. In my mind I have an endless budget!
I would have done the whole of Megaforce/Super Megaforce using the Gokaiger suits, with the Goseiger suits being a team devised by the Zangyack/Armada to battle them. The ornate appearance of the Goseiger suits lend themselves well to being royal knights or something of the sort. Ideally I'd like a good portion of the show to feature the Gokai suits without the transformation powers as well, but this would be difficult to achieve without shed loads of new footage. I just really like the Gokai suits and wish they had an opportunity to stand on their own merits more. I quite like the idea of Vrak being Vekar's brother, so I'd have probably kept that in but changed things up a bit. Like drop the Yuuma/mutants because they just didn't fit. The Gosei suits would be brainwashed/manipulated into thinking that they were the heroes, only for them to eventually see the error of their ways and team up with Megaforce rangers against the "great evils of the universe". And by this I mean, using the 199 movie footage. The "Goseigers" would then give up their powers to the Megaforce rangers, along with the previous rangers who returned to fight the great evils. The story arc would end with the old rangers losing their powers for some contrived reason, with the only way to save them having them be placed in ranger keys for the time being. These would be issued to the Megaforce rangers, and then be used to unlock greater powers as the Armada realise Earth isn't the pushover they thought. They'd originally have just sent Vrak and the Warstar aliens as a scout party (who create the "Goseigers"), and following this just say "screw it" and send the whole damn Armada. The original rangers would regain their powers at the end of the show as the Megaforce rangers face defeat, resulting in a final battle against the full force of the invasion. During this time the "Goseigers" would also return to finish Vrak once and for all. Its fan-ficcy and completely overblown for a Power Rangers series, but I don't care. If I had the money that's what I'd do. |
I think Goseiger could have made a great anniversary season, it has lots of callbacks through the franchise, lots of "back to basic elements" but it also had a great gimmick set - the cards and the headders - and the general design of the suits gave this regal anniversary feel. Best of all though is Goseiger had a boatload of villains and INCREDIBLE action, so there is lots of easily usable footage.
In terms of plot? Kickback's Dino Charge idea of descendants would have worked pretty great, I think given the designs of the suits and stuff. Tying the villains back to the original villains the Rangers who are descended from to as well for world buildings sake would be pretty fun. Then the Super Mode could be the result of the powers of the past, and the Ranger of the present unifying. Then at the end when Brajira comes back, the Megaforce Rangers stand side by side with whoever they are descended from for one final Mega Battle. |
I know I would definitely make it so the Super Megaforce peeps were different Rangers entirely, or if they had to be the same, show something happening to the Megaforce powers that necessitated a change in powers. I think having Super Megaforce powers tacked on feels really off.

Make Super Megaforce/Gokaiger it's own show. That is all.

Lengthy comment follows. Saban Brands would be wise to listen to these.
-Start Megaforce. Tweak the episodes as is. -Cut out Dizchord altogether and replace it with a Creepox/Vrak focus. -Take the "Ultra Change Zord" (or Hyper Change Headder from Goseiger) and make it into an automated CGI motorcycle: the Shock Cycle (notice the parallels to Shark Cycle). -Either edit the Goseiger Cards or keep the names the same. -Summon the various Brother zords with new CGI footage -Tensou is the new Datas and we get a toyline figure where he combines with Gosei Great. CGI and dialogue explanations can cover the in-show combinations. -Rename the Ultra Gosei Great Megazord into the Gosei Great Ultrazord. -Have the Toxic Beasts' backstory expanded. Theory: Vrak experiments with new creatures and Malkor and the others invade Earth. The Toxic Beasts escape the Aurora Box and rebel, surviving due to Earth's pollution. WarStar is driven from Earth by the Space Rangers (with new and digitally remastered footage). Reasoning: Remember when Kendrix "died", Andros and the others left in their morphed state with vague comments on how they were needed on Earth. This is what they did afterwards. -The Zord Heads (or Goseiger Headders) are "Zord Cores", the heart/soul of a Zord. The Five Primary Zord Heads (and Robo Knight) were originally full-bodied zords lost in a great battle. Gosei took the Command Ship and the cores and had them repaired to interact as they do now. -The "Ultra Zords" and "Ultra Mode" are weak designations. These are the MegaGold Brothers which bestow MegaGold Armor. -The name "Distractor" is also sad. -The "Ultra Mode" episode used Hisser, PsychoTick, and various unused Goseiger monsters. Replace what we have not seen with Beezara, Dragonflay, and Creepox. -Add a new character that replaces the bullys we saw earlier. In theory, call her Alice. She is a recurring character who is constantly manipulated by Vrak. -Cut out Dreamsnatcher. Use this for the episode when Vrak's Goseiger counterpart was seemingly destroyed. -The Underwater lab is Gosei's Zord Modification Facility. It is hacked into and abused by Vrak. Metal Alice is used instead of the human character. -The Messenger is the same character who told Divatox that Zordon had fallen. His robot body also has the same quick-change weakness as Cyclopsis, the War Zord used by Goldar. -The Gosei Jet debuts not in the series, but in a TV Movie akin to "Clash". The "Epic on the Movie" characters appear as does Alpha. The Megaforce Rangers briefly use the Mighty Morphin' Power Weapons and Power Blaster. -The Halloween episode uses the unused Mummy Monster from Goseiger. -Robo Knight's backstory: Notice how in Goseiger and Megaforce, we see the Lion encased within ice. Robo Knight is the new body for the Lion Zord Core, but he malfunctioned. The unused ice monster from Goseiger got the drop on him and sealed him away. This monster was destroyed by the Alien Rangers and the Shogun Megazord (again new and digitally remastered footage). Reasoning: The Shogun and Gosei Great both have fire slash finishers. The footage should match just well enough to be passable. Whoa, long comment I know. Super Megaforce will follow in a seperate posting. |
^^^^^^^^That. All of that.

Also deleting this comment. I didn't make my point clear and rather than get a thread heated up again, I'll drop it. Nothing to see here, move along.
