EDIT: However, Marigold is defeated and captured...Hm, I think he might enjoy that part.

I sincerely wonder how different this list will look when he learns that Gingaman, ToQger, and Shinkenger were written by a woman.

It's not fragile. I'm just a self-respecting individual who is proud of his masculinity.
@Matrixbeast. I agree. Shinkenger's too much red was justified. More importantly, the season didn't leave the others as decorations. This wasn't the case for Kakuranger however. Not all leaders has to hog screen time. Kouichirou from Megaranger was a prime example. In Tsuruhime's case, the season deliberately sacrificed Jiraiya, Saizou and Seikai to serve Tsuruhime's character. They even went as far as to make these three damsels all the time just to make Tsuruhime look better. Now if these three were given good storylines and developed, I would have overlooked that. But that isn't the case with Kakuranger. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions guys. I will watch Sun Vulcan at a later time. Dekaranger seemed nice. I've seen the first 5 minutes of it. Green seems like he's going to be my favorite again. Sadly, the cop setting does not attract me. Or at least, not yet. Carranger would be good later. Gekiranger seems like a great season. Looks like another kungfu season again even since my favorite is Dairanger. I'll consider watching that. EDIT: As long as she's not a feminist, I really won't mind. If you're saying Chiaki and Hikari were created by women then I'd say women gives us very good characters. Well, that's partly because the actors did an excellent job in putting life on the characters as well but it wouldn't be possible if they weren't made that way.

Kakuranger sacrificed Jiraiya? Dude, he was literally the only other character to get an arc in that series. Sasuke had character growth, but he didn't get a personal arc aside from that time he saved the others, in which case, Everyone else were in distress but him.
Seikai and Saizou did receive minimal stories, yes. True. It doesn't make the series worse because Tsuruhime, the leader of the team, the one who gathered the team, and the only character to take their work seriously during the first half, received a story arc.

Then again, you also have watched Dairanger yet refer to Qilinranger as "DaiYellow." So that kinda shows how much you pay attention, at least to me anyway. Last edited by Zaragon; 06-26-2016 at 06:31 PM.. |

@Zaragon
Dairanger was the very first season I watched and that was a long time ago so normally, I wouldn't remember every detail of it. Still, the best season by far though. Almost everything was perfect with Dairanger. As for Kakuranger, there is always a pecking order with who gets to be a damsel or who falls first. It is always Saizou, Seikai or Jiraiya in any order then Tsuruhime. That happened multiple times throughout the series. It tries to show us these three guys are incompetent while Tsurihime and Sasuke aren't. Tsuruhime isn't an annoying character. It's just we always get reminded that she's the leader with yokai mentioning it every other episode . This isn't the case with most Sentais I've watched. I get that she's not red but look at Megaranger. Red wasn't leader either but you'd hear Nezirezia or some other character mention it once or twice the whole series and that's it. Plus, Tsurihime hogged screentime towards the end. |

Frankly though, I don't think you'd be complaining at all if Tsuruhime had instead been male or if all of her development had been given to one of the other four. You've already shown a good amount of bias against female characters and men that don't fit your idea of masculinity to a tee. |

Well, look at is this way.
If in Shinkenger, Takeru was always getting captured and needed to be saved from one of the other rangers, would you respect him or see his qualities as a leader? Tsuruhime wasn't put in distress because from the perspective of the writer, it wouldn't make any sense. She was the leader, the character the team was supposed to see as strong and brave. Putting her in situations where she needs constant aid would make her more of just another gun on the team. She was also the intellectual and strategist of the team. She didn't rush forward, so she rarely stumbled into traps the more headstrong Seikai and Saizou would. Also, it would've been really kind of distasteful to put the one female member in distress for the men to save over and over again. Your issue isn't that Seikai and Saizou (And Jiraiya on, like, 2 occasions) were in distress, but that Tsuruhime wasn't a damsel in distress more often. She subverted the trope that the woman isn't capable of fighting unless she has a strong man behind her, and you found it a flaw?

This is amazing. I have literally no idea what he'll say next! |

No, actually. I wouldn't have mind Tsuruhime if they made Saizou and Seikai more competent. And also, if Tsuruhime was older. I mean, she's the youngest of the team. I think way younger than everyone else? So normally, it wouldn't make sense if she was lightyears better than everyone except Sasuke in almost every way possible.
The problem is just why make Tsuruhime leader in the first place? She does not fit the role period. Sasuke would have been a lot more convincing. Well, there's another season with a female lead. Timeranger, if I'm not mistaken? I'm gonna watch that once they complete the subtitles. I'm attracted to it because I heard Yellow has inhumane strength and Green is an alien. Hopefully, we'll see a lot of those. The female leader looks more experienced than Tsuruhime and I hope the Time guys will be more competitive than the Kaku guys. |
