Got put one down for the Magna Defender's sword, which I'm pretty sure is Bull Riot in Gingaman. Also a fan of GaoSilver's weapon. It's not really much of anything, but it's kind of neat regardless.

I agree, love the Lunar Cue. Or at least that's what it was called here state side.

Why don't we have a Brown ranger? It's a basic color that's easily recognizable and spottable (Even in their beloved rock quarry) and doesn't overlap or clash with any other colors commonly used.
I don't count ShinkenBrown because it was a dude in a sword training suit. Seriously, we've had Cyan, Grey, and we're about to get Sky Blue, but still no Brown?

Probably because it's not a very appealing color and doesn't look great alongside too many others. This is the actual reasoning used by staff members throughout the years as to why certain color combos don't show up too often. I'd like to think the monster admonishing the future Kyoryuger team in 100 Years After was an in joke about that fact.

Might just be a case of being a color that's hard to make "cool."
There's not really a lot of brown superhero costumes in general for a reason. Sure, there are some, but it's definitely not a popular color. |

Yeah... the thought of brown spandex doesn't quite sit well with me, just on a visual level. Maybe if it were a tan or a sandier brown... but that's pretty close to Gold so would be redundant.
I could maybe see how brown could be used in the designs of another Western themed ranger? Maybe? There were brown elements on StarNinger, I guess. |

What would be the central themes and/or degree of social commentary in any Tokusatsu? Kakuranger is considered by some sources as one based on social commentary, so there might be others. Flashman was a team formed from orphans, which was part of their drive through their series, which might be part of its message. What are other forms of commentary from other series?

I just don't think a solid brown ranger would look very heroic. It doesn't really pop. Think about it -- there aren't many brown-suited American super heroes either. (The closest I can think of is that one era of Wolverine.) Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 02-28-2017 at 08:23 PM.. |
