This is gonna be a long and controversial answer, but here goes:
- The first Rider to get the adaptation release was Black RX. It was in Mighty Morphin' Season 3, "A Friend in Need". That's where it should start for that "Masked Rider". As far as I and most others are concerned, the series should be its own (largely left in the '90s) thing and basically considered an alternate timeline story. If Masked Rider returns it should be based-off of the three-parter. - The question with using Black RX is whether or not to include Black as well, and I am of the camp that supports that decision. It would also not be difficult to canonize Robo Rider and Bio Rider, either. - As far as the Movie Riders of the '90s, ZO and J are fine. Leave Shin alone! - Kuuga and Agito should be left as is for now. - Ryuki became "Dragon Knight" and I am also of the camp that believes Hasbro should purchase the rights to that series and re-release it also. - Blade, Faiz, Kabuto are also viable options. If done, much of the mythology would be completely upended! If used in any capacity, the higher-quality movies of each would probably be options if any footage were to be used. - Double, Fourze, Wizard, and Ex-Aid should all be considered for footage possibility! The Team-Ups with Sentai, while ultimately controversial from a Toei Tokusatsu standpoint, should be considered as well as the best answer is to always tie the Riders in with the Rangers! Granted, if many of the Riders are excised, then this would necessitate new footage filming, but I don't see Hasbro as being totally unresponsive to that (assuming that whole "The End of the Power Rangers?" thread is proven to be false/misunderstood). - The use of previously adapted Metal Heroes being used to supplement any adapted Riders is also worth considering as well. Beetleborgs and VR Troopers were part of the deal that Hasbro bought from Saban. In addition, Jiraiya was adapted in Super Ninja Steel as "Sheriff Skyfire" and that character is ripe for more material! I won't reference the international spoilers of Beast Morphers Season 2's second half here in any great detail, but.... - The idea of adapting Showa Riders is controversial in its own right, but it would be easy cause they tend to have fewer forms. Have too many forms and accessories and vehicles, and one risks over-saturation on the market! However, I envision a crossover between Gorenger and Power Rangers, and it wouldn't be beyond the scope to tease the appearance of the OG Double Riders during such a crossover. Would you like to see those two come in briefly and give a "Rider Double Kick" to a revived Pumpkin Rapper!? Last edited by TokuKnight89; 07-10-2020 at 01:42 AM.. |

I also think anything before OOO is probably a bit old now!

I would still go for Build somehow. Make the Smash metahumans in some way for Build to extrace random essences from those who possess mutant powers.
If you could replace the "Fang Smash' with a regular human being (actors/actresses with martial arts ability) possessing mutant powers, Build will be able to fight them and extract their essence leaving him/her powerless. Make Build World War III - Pandora War! |

I think it would make sense to use Zero-one, since it's the newest and it has a fairly standard design.

Pre-W shows I think are a bad choice if they plan to recycle Toei footage. It's like using OG Ultraman footage from the 1960s for a 1990s Ultraman adaptation. If they are willing to use stuff from Blade or Kabuto then they better do 100% original footage if they don't wanna look bad.

Yeah, I mean in Dragon Knight with the Ryuki footage in SD and I assume the American footage in HD it didn't always quite go for me, I mean that being my childhood I know the difference between 2002 and 2009!

- Newer footage seems to be the preferred choice these days. No avoiding that one and it definitely offers the opportunity for original storytelling. - International spoilers for Beast Morphers Season 2 offer an interesting answer. A similar method would suffice for backstory. - Almost all Heisei Riders have a movie or feature-length special which is formatted correctly and more easily touched-up to HD if needed. Older footage should be predicated on a movie first, not the series. - By the time one gets to Kabuto or Den-O, if either were to get chosen, then start looking at the series to determine if any of it can be used. The likelihood of any series footage being used at large prior to Decade is unlikely, but should be explored if only to rule it out. - Modern movie crossovers tend to showcase Riders from across the years and such footage isn't so old that it couldn't be selectively used. - Specials with Sentai should be looked at heavily! While older fans who are aware of the Riders would be interested in an adaptation from the get-go to see if it works or not, children at large may not have the same familiarity. Since Sentai has become largely ubiquitous thanks to Power Rangers, any adaptation should be in Hasbro's court so that they can set the Riders within the Ranger Multiverse! However, a Ranger would not have to be appear constantly. It could be the same as "Fourze" visiting KO-35 and fighting Vivix. The door for this one was already left open, both when Sledge name-dropped Planet Kamen-5 in Dino Supercharge and when Shocker Buruburu from the Ninninger VS. Drive Summer Special had a cameo in Super Ninja Steel as one of Sledge's Prison Ship Monsters. |

The oldest Heisei-era Rider I've seen is Kiva, but honestly I don't think it looks too old. It's not like the CGI isn't still pretty lousy.
The main issue I see is that it would be harder to adapt shows that still used film cameras, since almost everything is shot digitally now.

Honestly, I think the easiest to adapt would be Fourze, as it establishes early the existence of other riders as being considered both an urban legend to the general public and unequivocally true, allowing for W, OOO and Wizard to show up with it not needing to be extensively explained. Also, it’s set in a high school, allowing the adapter to not have make the characters “more relatable” to the target demographics, as they’re already teenagers. I mean, not only does that mean it’s easier to recast the roles if you wanted to fully adapt it, but makes it just as viable to dub it.
