Gai/Black Condor was cool? I just thought he was a creep.

And I thought he was a dick.
That doesn't change his popularity.

Anyhow, I don't think Liam has watched it anyway. Not that I think he'd enjoy it much, because of that pesky love triangle. |

I would like a Female Green Ranger for 2 reasons
1. Green is my favorite color 2. We hasn't got a PROPER Female Green Ranger (I don't count A Female Green Ninninger) |

He'd probably be pretty divisive on Jetman.
On one hand, Kaori is a nice, pretty girl that sits down, stays quiet, and smiles when she's not in suit, Ako gets 2 whole episodes dedicated to her (Out of 50), and Gai's desire for Kaori could be interpreted as a manly rivalry against Ryu. Though, Ryu's motivation is getting Maria, a woman, back, and a lot of his personal characterization comes from both determination to save her as well as learning when to let some things go. I dunno where he'd stand with it.

^^ How is that misogynistic?
Chiaki gets 3 episodes dedicated to him (out of 49) and you don't say it's misandrist. But yeah, I might watch Jetman next. Sounds like that Gai-Ryo rivalry is intense. Can you tell me more about it without saying plot-changing spoilers? And I'm curious. Why is it misogynistic? I'm curious because we seem to have different definitions of misogynistic (just to fish for information whether Jetman is worth watching or not ). Last edited by LiamLee; 06-27-2016 at 08:27 AM.. |

Because it's not. Sentai features 6 main characters along with an ongoing story, of course some characters are going to get the short end of the stick.
But a lot of your criticisms all stem from an identical point. Female characters. The female Shinken Red plot twist (That lasted for all of 4 episodes?) "Literally the worst." Your constant issues with Tsuruhime and why the intellectual of the group wasn't a damsel in distress for one of the other 4 men to save more often instead of Seikai or Saizou, the 2 idiots. You're bringing up that MagiGreen and GaoBlack were bad characters solely because they both valued a woman. You wanting to remove MegaYellow in place of another man on the team. It's not about how many focus episodes a character gets, but rather how you personally react to a woman being a prominent figure (Also the notion that women should only get 4 colors, 2 of which are still mostly male (Yellow and Violet) and barring women from being green, red, and black altogether) So I'll let you know right now. Jetman's primary arc is a love triangle involving Ryu, Gai, and a woman. Gai's rivalry with Ryu doesn't stem from 2 men wanting to push their strength to the limits, but rather, Gai trying to win the heart of the woman he loves.

Bah. Sounds boring. I don't watch Sentai for romance. Thank you. I guess I'll skip Jetman.
Anyway, your interpretation is very one-sided. I don't like MagiGreen and GaoBlack because MagiGreen don't have self-respect while GaoBlack sacrificed his friends for a woman. That's not just valuing a woman, that's worshiping a woman sacrificing something else that is important. You're not looking at the "sacrificing something else that is important" part. In the case of MagiGreen, the woman never did anything good to him, ever. Well, she was nice to him at the end but that was after it happened. She was mean from the start. Now if the plot happened same as like say.. Daigo-Kujaku's arc from Dairanger, it would have been understandable. But no, MagiGreen had a complete lack of self-respect. Well, I've only watched the first appearance of female ShinkenRed when I wrote that comment. I thought the plot was heading to a feminist "women are better than men" storyline. Thank god it didn't. Chisato happens to be a woman and was the only weak part of the cast. Everyone else was enjoyable. Shougo's short appearance already made an impact on me and I wanted more of him, preferably as a ranger. Plus, he'd look good on yellow. Again, you're being very one-sided. I prefer specific colors to both men and women. Why are you looking only at the women part? |
